Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The two girls walked out of the back garden one after the other, passing through the lush greenery of the courtyard.

From a distance, Aigu stood alone at the villa's gate, quietly waiting for the approaching convoy.

Before long, more than a dozen top-of-the-line luxury cars drove up in an orderly fashion and parked in front of the villa.

As the car doors opened in unison, a group of nobles dressed in magnificent gowns and elders from various musical families stepped out of the vehicles one after another.

At the same time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the unassuming villa in front of them, which exuded a solemn and dignified aura.

A composed middle-aged man stepped out of the car at the front of the convoy.

Dressed in a custom-made, exquisite suit, he exuded an extraordinary air; he was none other than An Yan, the head of the An family in the violin city and also Amber's father.

An Yan looked up and saw Chu Ge and Ailiya walking towards him. He immediately put on a familiar and polite smile and quickly walked towards them.

Just then, Aigu took half a step forward, firmly blocking the two girls.

His face still wore the mild and polite smile typical of businessmen, but deep in his eyes lay undisguised wariness.

With the An family leading the way and bringing together all the top musical families in the city, how could it be a simple visit?

Aigu knew perfectly well that this group of people were definitely after Chu Ge's unique musical talent.

The extraordinary phenomenon of Chu Ge invoking the blessing of the music god had already spread throughout the entire violin city, becoming common knowledge.

He was determined not to easily fool this large-scale group visit.

Chu Ge stopped and calmly looked at the group of nobles and music tycoons walking towards him.

Arya stood close to Chu Ge, her fishtail unconsciously brushing lightly across the ground.

Facing so many important figures she had only heard of in rumors, the girl was extremely nervous. Her small hands clenched tightly, her eyes filled with restraint and unease.

An Yan strode up to the group and first gave Ai Gu a polite nod, displaying impeccable manners.

His gaze immediately fell on Chu Ge, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration and respect, his tone polite yet sincere:

"This must be Mr. Aigu's daughter, Miss Alice. I've heard so much about you."

"Today, I have come to your door together with all the musical families and local nobles in the city. There is no other purpose than to visit you. Firstly, I would like to exchange ideas on music theory, and secondly, I would like to talk about the upcoming Music God Grand Ceremony Competition."

The An family was extremely efficient; as soon as the divine blessing phenomenon appeared, they immediately identified this villa.

In a short time, An Jia thoroughly investigated the basic information of everyone in the villa.

Aigu was the first one to be ruled out.

The records clearly state that Aigu's musical talent is mediocre, and he even had a lawsuit for assault and went to jail in his early years. Now he is focused on business and has nothing to do with being a musical genius. He is definitely not the kind of person who can attract divine blessings.

The second person to be screened was Arya.

Arya attends the prestigious music academy in the City of Pianos. Students who can get into this school are naturally talented, but they are only excellent, far from being considered "peerless geniuses".

It should be noted that the most outstanding student in this academy in recent years is William, the genius from the City of Piano.

William's talent is roughly on par with that of his daughter Amber.

Therefore, Arya could absolutely not invoke the legendary blessing of the gods.

Finally, only Aigu's second daughter on the household registration remained—Alice.

That is, the Song of Chu.

Aigu was extremely cautious, and the disguise he gave Chu Ge was almost flawless.

However, the An family, as a top-ranking and powerful family in the violin city, has a very deep background and still managed to uncover the truth.

An Yan had already found out that the girl named Alice was not Aigu's biological daughter at all. She had just recently settled in Aigu's home and had a very special identity.

Based on the timeline, An Yan immediately guessed the reason—to participate in the Music God Grand Ceremony Competition.

Seeing Chu Ge in person now confirmed An Yan's suspicions.

The two are completely different in appearance and temperament; it would be an exaggeration to say they are unrelated. No one could possibly think they are father and daughter.

Strangely, no matter how many connections An Jia used or how many methods he employed to dig deeper, he could not find any information about Alice's past.

This girl seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in the violin city; her origins were unknown, making her extremely mysterious.

But it was precisely this uniqueness that gave An Yan a 99% certainty:

The music that previously inspired the gods to bestow blessings, and the mournful flute music that resonated throughout the music world and amazed countless people a few days ago, all came from the hands of this young girl.

His grand gesture today, summoning all the city's musical talents to his door, has only one core purpose:

To win over Chu Ge.

As long as they can bring this unparalleled genius blessed by the gods under their wing, the An family's position will be firmly established at the top of the violin city!

Chu Ge looked calmly at the group of important figures with varying expressions before him and went straight to the point:

"Since you've come all this way, there's no need to beat around the bush; just speak your mind."

Seeing Chu Ge's straightforwardness and clarity, An Yan chuckled and turned to the side, raising his hand to signal.

Behind him, a group of elders from musical families stepped forward one after another. Some carried ancient and priceless musical scores, while others carried top-quality, custom-made musical instruments. Each piece was a rare treasure and a valuable gift used to curry favor and win over the other.

An Yan's gaze was sincere as he slowly began to speak:

"Miss Alice, your musical talent is so rare that it is said to be a once-in-a-century talent, and it is even more rare that it has attracted the blessing of the god of music. Your talent is unparalleled in the entire city."

"We've gathered all the music talent in the city here today, hoping to collaborate with you. For this music festival competition, we're willing to provide you with comprehensive, top-tier resource support."

"Rare sheet music, exquisite instruments, guidance from renowned teachers—everything you need, we will provide unconditionally."

Aigu listened quietly to the sound, instantly seeing through the An family's scheme.

These old foxes had their eyes on Chu Ge's unparalleled musical talent and wanted to recruit her into the An family's camp in advance, so that she could represent the Violin City An family in the grand competition.

Although the An family has Amber, a top genius, William from the City of Piano is equally formidable.

The two are evenly matched, and the outcome is unpredictable when they actually compete.

Not to mention, there is also Princess Doria in the kingdom.

That princess was only ten years old, yet she could invoke the blessings of the music god. She was a true prodigy, with talent that crushed all her peers.

Ordinary geniuses simply don't have the qualifications to compete with her.

Throughout the entire kingdom, only Chu Ge, who had also invoked divine blessings, was qualified to fight Princess Doriya head-on.

If Chu Ge can win the overall championship of this grand event, the An family can use her fame to completely suppress other forces, firmly establish themselves as the controllers of the Violin City, and also suppress another top noble family in the kingdom—the Wei family—and establish their supreme status in one fell swoop.

Arya understood everyone's purpose and panicked instantly, instinctively grabbing Chu Ge's sleeve tightly.

That's what she fears most.

She didn't want to see Chu Ge bound and restricted by these forces, and she was even more afraid that Chu Ge would agree to cooperate for these so-called resources and benefits, and then leave this villa and leave her side.

Chu Ge keenly sensed the unease of the girl beside him, glanced at her gently, then turned back to An Yan with composure, directly rejecting all offers of help:

"Thank you all for your attention. However, I will not agree to the cooperation at this time."

"Before the competition begins, I just want to focus on honing my skills and training without getting involved in the power struggles among the kingdom's major families or attaching myself to any one of them."

With a few simple words, he directly and decisively rejected the city's music industry's attempts to win him over.

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of all the nobles and elders present changed slightly, their eyes filled with surprise.

No one expected that this mysterious genius girl would refuse such tempting top-tier resources without hesitation.

An Yan's polite smile faded slightly, but he still maintained the composure of a superior, his tone carrying a hint of persuasion:

"Miss Alice, you should think this over carefully. It would be extremely difficult for you to win the championship at the God of Music Grand Ceremony, where geniuses gather, all by yourself."

"With the protection of our entire city's resources, your chances of winning the championship will increase several times over, which will be entirely beneficial to you."

Despite the persuasion, Chu Ge's expression remained unwavering, neither humble nor arrogant.

Whether you can win the championship depends on your own heart and the music itself, and has nothing to do with external support and resources.

"I have my own plans and path, so there's no need for you to worry about me."

In Chu Ge's understanding, cultivation and enlightenment should rely on oneself.

If she needs external support and influence to win even a music competition, how will she compete with the other top talents in the future?

How can one break free from shackles and attain the status of a Great Emperor?

What she wanted was a supreme and unparalleled path, not glory dependent on others.

Throughout her journey, she has always firmly believed that the true path can only be forged step by step by oneself.

Even "My Great Father" will eventually fall from grace.

Others, friends, and relatives are ultimately just passersby in this mortal world; only one's own strength is the only enduring source of confidence.

The atmosphere in front of the villa gate instantly became tense and awkward, with both sides locked in a silent stalemate.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to completely cool down, Aigu stepped forward at the right time, smiling as he tried to smooth things over:

"Thank you all for your long journey. It's windy outside, so why don't you come in and sit down for some tea and a rest? We can discuss anything here."

An Yan stared intently at Chu Ge for several seconds, clearly sensing the extreme firmness of the other party's attitude.

He knew in his heart that forcing the issue at this moment would only make him look bad and would be a losing proposition.

After a moment's consideration, An Yan could only suppress his thoughts for the time being and nodded in agreement to Ai Gu's suggestion.

The group entered the villa in a grand procession and headed towards the living room.

Chu Ge walked in the middle of the crowd, with Aria following closely beside her, her little hand always gently touching Chu Ge's, never daring to let go for a moment.

The young girl knew perfectly well that today's collective visit from all the city's nobles was just the beginning.

Their peaceful and stable life came to an end after Chu Ge revealed his unparalleled talent blessed by the gods.

In the future, a continuous stream of covetousness, probing, enticement, and even scheming will follow.

Their peaceful days are gone forever.

Thinking of this, Arya couldn't help but lean close to Chu Ge's ear and whisper in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Sister, no matter how they try to persuade you, you don't have to force yourself. Even if there are a lot of troubles in the future, I just want to stay with you peacefully while you practice the piano. Whether you leave or not, I will stay with you."

The soft and sincere words fell into my ears, warm and healing.

Chu Ge turned his head to look at the mermaid girl beside him, whose eyes were full of dependence, and a gentle smile curved his lips.

"It's alright, don't worry about it," she said softly.

So what if we are surrounded by troubles and constant turmoil?

At least for now, in this small villa, there is a pure musical bond and warmth, untainted by any utilitarian motives, steadily accompanying her.

Moreover, Chu Ge never considered these covetousnesses and conflicts as troublesome.

The chaos of the world is a test of one's character.

These storms, tests, and entanglements are all essential experiences on her path to becoming a lawyer.

It's just a few hardships on the road to growth.

The group entered the spacious living room, where a host of nobles and elders of prominent families took their seats.

Without exception, everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Ge, their gazes filled with curiosity, anticipation, and curiosity.

After a brief silence, An Yan spoke first, breaking the quiet of the living room, his tone still polite and respectful:

"Miss Alice, we have come to your door today for two reasons. First, we wish to discuss cooperation with you. Second, it is also a personal request of all of us."

"We are all incredibly curious: what kind of amazing masterpiece did you create that could resonate with the god of music and bestow such divine blessings?"

After saying that, An Yan smiled slightly, a hint of self-deprecation in his expression, and added:

"Mr. Aigu, Miss Alice, I know this request is very abrupt."

He glanced at the assembled group of white-haired, highly respected elders and continued:

"As you can see, those who have come here today are all elderly people who have dedicated their lives to music."

"In this life, we ask for nothing but music. Our greatest wish is to hear, in our lifetime, a peerless celestial sound that has been recognized by the god of music."

An Yan is nearly fifty years old. Eight years ago, he was fortunate enough to witness Princess Doria invoking the gods' blessings at the palace.

However, most of the people present had devoted their lives to studying music and devoted their entire lives to researching music, yet they had never even witnessed a divine blessing.

Such heavenly music is extremely rare and hard to come by.

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of white-haired elderly men around him nodded in agreement, their tone full of earnestness:

"Yes, Miss Alice, we hope you will grant us this small wish!"

Among the crowd, an extremely elderly mermaid was carefully supported by others as he slowly took a step forward.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, his breath was weak, and he was still connected to an IV drip. His voice was hoarse and dry, but extremely sincere:

"Miss Alice, my surname is Li, and I come from a musical family."

"I am 103 years old this year. In my life, I have abandoned the practice of magic and devoted a hundred years to studying music theory."

"Now I am exhausted and my lifespan is coming to an end. I am afraid I will not live to see the opening of the God of Music's grand ceremony, nor will I have the chance to see Princess Doria play the divine music again."

"My only obsession in this life is the pursuit of music. Today, I only ask to hear your divine melody with my own ears once. With that, I have no regrets in this life, and I would die without regret!"

Everyone present was a prominent nobleman or a respected musical master.

Normally he is high and mighty and admired by everyone, when has he ever lowered his posture and humbly begged for help like this?

Looking at the scene before him, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The scene was indescribably bizarre, yet incredibly shocking.

She never imagined that one day she would be looked at by a group of white-haired, venerable elders with expectant, almost tearful eyes.

Her gaze was so sincere and earnest, as if if she refused, these elderly people who had spent their lives pursuing pleasure would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Seeing that Chu Ge did not respond for a long time, An Yan assumed that she was unwilling to reveal the divine song and immediately prepared to take his leave.

In his view, as long as Chu Ge does not side with the Piano City or become an enemy of the An family, there is still room for maneuver.

Even if she later joins the Mermaid Royal Family, she is still a genius from the City of Violins, and the An family will benefit from her victory.

Just as An Yan was about to get up, a clear, calm female voice slowly echoed throughout the living room:

"Can."

Just two short words, concise and to the point.

Looking at the group of earnest old men before him, Chu Ge felt a strange sense of resonance.

Especially Mr. Li, who attended the appointment despite being ill and nearing the end of his life.

He abandoned spiritual cultivation, spent a hundred years on it, and dedicated his entire life to the unwavering pursuit of the Dao of Music, pure and steadfast.

This unwavering Daoist heart, even unto death, is remarkably similar to her original aspiration to pursue a path of unparalleled dominance throughout the ages.

Regardless of strength or social status, anyone who possesses a pure Daoist heart and is persistent in pursuing their dreams deserves respect.

Chu Ge looked directly at the elderly mermaid, his tone solemn yet calm:

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

"I admire your pure heart that pursued happiness throughout your life, so I will grant you your last wish in this life."

After speaking, she slowly swept her gaze over all the expectant nobles and elders present, and said softly:

"Gentlemen, please follow me."

After speaking, Chu Ge turned and walked straight towards the back garden of the villa.
