"The youth group competition is about to start, and there are quite a few young people in this group, just like you."
"Young friend, do you have any contestants you are particularly optimistic about?"
Shen He said with a smile.
"I don't have 'many'; there's only one, and that's Mu Yuer!"
Mu An shook his head slightly and then mentioned a name.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to recognize the title of the Piano Princess?"
"But is it really just her? The other contestants should be good too!"
"Among them, there are quite a few who are carefully trained disciples of piano masters!"
In response to the inquiry, Mu An shook his head again.
"That's it! I don't know much about them!"
This was not a lie; he was speaking the truth.
He spent every day caught between the female lead and the male lead; how could he have time to learn about the piano world?
And he had no interest in it at all!
"Really nothing else? What about Shen Ling'er? She's also a super famous piano genius in Huaxia!"
Shen He seemed a bit unwilling and asked again.
Mu An shook his head +1.
"Hey, old buddy, don't intentionally show off your disciple! He said she doesn't know her!"
"Your disciple has only been famous for a few years; maybe she isn't even as famous as my disciple Brian!"
"Kid, do you know Brian? He was the third place winner in the 19th 'This Piano Newcomer is Amazing' competition!"
"Hahaha, that's already quite impressive among the younger generation!"
Schubert laughed heartily, his face full of pride.
The two inexplicably began to compare.
It was normal, after all.
As renowned piano masters, the only thing they could compare with their peers was probably the disciples they had taken in!
But Mu An still shook his head and calmly uttered a few words.
"I haven't heard of him! I don't know him!"
Pfft~
Before he could say what he expected, Schubert almost choked on his own water.
Oh my God, what the hell!
Didn't the other party say he knew a little about the piano?
But he hadn't even heard of such a famous and prestigious piano competition as 'This Piano Newcomer is Amazing'?!
"Then do you know the piano master Schubert? With his extraordinary piano skills, you must know him..."
"I don't know him!"
"Hahaha, old man Schubert, you can't be serious! Not everyone knows foreign piano masters! But as a Huaxia person, you must have heard of Huaxia's most famous piano master, Shen He!"
"I don't know him either!"
Shen He: "..."
Schubert: "..."
"Really don't know?" *2
"Really don't know!" (with a firm tone)
Pfft~ *2
The two old men from Huaxia and the Sunset Country were almost driven to the point of spitting blood.
How could this young man not know anything when asked?
Such behavior made the pride they had just managed to build up crash into the abyss in 0.00001 seconds!
"Hey, young man, didn't you say you knew a little about the piano?"
"How could you not know these things? What do you even understand about the piano?"
Schubert raised his doubts.
He now felt like a ridiculous monkey playing the piano to a cow!
The other party didn't know about famous competitions in the piano world, nor did he know famous piano masters...
So, what exactly did he understand?
"I understand the piano! Why do I need to know about other random things? Are they important?"
Mu An looked at the two of them strangely and said lightly.
Shen He: "..."
Schubert: "..."
They are... random things?
Are these... important?

Pfft! *2
These words were like knives.
They pierced the hearts of the two piano masters who were comparing themselves, leaving them with countless wounds!
And they suffered a critical hit of a thousand points of real damage!
Perhaps Mu An's answer seemed to have no issues; it was just a bit too real (heart-wrenching).
For a moment, both old men fell silent in unison.
He himself was happy to enjoy the peace and quiet.
In fact, being approached by such impressive piano masters was not something ordinary people could encounter.
Such things surely required a certain amount of luck to trigger!
For example, Mu An himself.
He had already gained a considerable amount of luck value after several times of sabotaging the protagonist!
If the target had been the protagonist...
If they could take the opportunity to flatter a few words, or if the piano master inexplicably took a liking to them and gave them some attention, they would surely become winners in life effortlessly!
But Mu An definitely wouldn't do that, nor did he need to. Even if he didn't showcase his piano skills, just by having the Mu family, a colossal entity, backing him, his status alone could almost put him on par with any major figure in the world!
This is the terrifying aspect of capital when it reaches a certain level!
"The youth group piano competition is about to begin!"
"Please wait a moment as we invite our first contestant to the stage!"
After the sweet-smiling host finished her polite remarks, she left the stage.
In the center of the stage, a piano worth tens of millions was quietly placed!
This was the dream piano that countless pianists wished to play on at least once!
Because it was the best piano in the world, a symbol of the highest honor in the piano community!
"Old Schubert, I remember the first contestant should be your disciple, right? What piece is he going to perform?" Shen He asked in a low voice.
"You'll find out soon enough, why bother asking me?"
"Anyway, I can assure you, you won't be disappointed!"
Schubert raised his head at the thought of the piece he chose for his disciple.
"Let me guess! Based on your style and your disciple's area of expertise... it must be a high-difficulty piece that showcases finger techniques! It's easy to choose, aside from possibly being an original piece of yours, high-difficulty pieces are just those few!"
Shen He's cautious guesses were indeed getting closer to the truth. Schubert felt a bit embarrassed and angry at being called out.
"Hey, old buddy, that's a bit unfair!"
"If you can guess it, then why ask me?"
"Just know that in the face of absolute strength, all flashy schemes are useless!"
"If you have the ability, let your disciple defeat mine openly!"
Shen He smiled, stroking his beard, seemingly nonchalant as he said this.
"Of course, I plan to have my disciple defeat yours! I'm just giving you a psychological preparation in advance!"
"..."
As the two exchanged words, the first contestant finally took the stage. Upon seeing the newcomer, Mu An suddenly smiled. The first contestant was actually that foreign protagonist who liked to have people pick frozen roses at the peak of Beloberg!
He didn't even know if the other party was still 'healthy' at the moment? After all, his [God-level Skill: Irreverent Medical Master] was not just for show! When it came to messing with people, it was quite 'serious'!
Now, just one sentence...
'Waiting for the protagonist to explode with gold coins!'
