Temporary Buff

"You… want to play a song by yourself?" Song Ling'er raised her eyebrows.

Under normal circumstances, that would not be allowed, as this is a competition— a partnered competition. However, she really wanted to listen to Yuan play the zither seriously by himself even if it would invalidate the integrity of the competition. After all, in her eyes, he was going to win this competition regardless.

"Okay, go ahead." Song Ling'er nodded her head a  moment later, surprising the audience.

"Senior Song, are you sure? This isn't part of the competition…" Elder Jing said in a nervous voice.

"Who cares? If he wants to play, let him play," Senior Zou said with a smile on his face.

"You too, Daoist Zou…?" Elder Jing was dumbfounded. Why did they want to listen to this participant play so much? It was almost as though they were subtly favoring him!

"Thank you, Seniors…" Yuan said to them before focusing on the zither.
