But he also knew that all he could do now was wait for news from Frank.

Even if I leave early, finding someone in this city is like finding a needle in a haystack.

As the performance began, everyone's eyes were focused on the stage.

The appearance of various musical instruments and the feeling of a hundred schools of thought contending are crystal clear.

Piano, cassette, violin, saxophone, and other instruments appeared on stage, and the performance ended amidst applause.

For example, Skorto's performance was met with countless rounds of applause.

He became famous for his violin playing, but he truly became active in the entertainment industry because of his acting skills and well-known films.

However, at this music festival, he was only known as a violin virtuoso, and his superb performance left many in awe.

Then, a cello master also went on stage to perform.

It must be said that although these two perform on different instruments, their styles are very distinct, and each of them is extremely skilled.

At the invitation of the crowd, the two even performed a short duet, which made the event even more lively and tense.

Everyone is performing using their own instrument, mainly because most musicians are proficient in instruments that are the main instruments of their own country, such as the violin, cello, piano, and so on.

Several Chinese musicians also performed, one of whom gave a stunning performance on the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), leaving countless people amazed.

It seems that Chinese music is getting better and better. Besides Xu Fan's piano, there are also people who play the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) so beautifully.

Of course, the piano is not a Chinese musical instrument, so that master of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) and that xiao piece are, to date, the most beautiful pieces and the best-sounding pieces played on Chinese musical instruments.

Xu Fan did not go up to play. There are countless musical instruments in China. For example, the master of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) is worthy of admiration. Moreover, his mind was no longer able to concentrate on this invitational event.

However, Xu Fan's indifference attracted the attention of several Chinese masters.

Some people even came up to Xu Fan and asked him directly, "Mr. Xu, are you not going to participate in this second round of performances?"

Xu Fan looked at the person in front of him, whom he didn't recognize, but since they were all Chinese, and he had no intention of offending them, he said, "Since a master from China is participating, I won't participate."

The man snorted and said coldly, "Young man, I think you don't understand Chinese musical instruments at all, humph."

Xu Fan was taken aback, not understanding the purpose of this person's appearance, and simply snorted coldly before leaving.

Watching the departing figure, Xu Fan shook his head. In a foreign land, if he weren't Chinese, Xu Fan might very well have slapped him across the face. After all, whether I understand or not is none of your business.

Helpless, Xu Fan saw the middle-aged man stride onto the stage. Only then did Xu Fan realize that the man was unhappy with his piano performance taking up too much of the spotlight and had come to embarrass him.

We are all born of the same root, why are we so eager to harm each other!

Xu Fan shook his head, not paying too much attention, but his attention was still on the person, who walked onto the stage.

The scene erupted in uproar and discussion once again.

China already had a master of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) who amazed the audience, but now another person came up on stage, and he was actually holding a stringed instrument in his arms.

Someone who knew the instrument exclaimed in surprise, "It's a pipa!"

The man stood on the stage, bowed slightly, and said, "Xiao Qinghe from Huaxia presents the pipa piece 'Falling Leaves' to everyone."

Xu Fan was taken aback, not expecting the other party to be such a hidden talent. The pipa is extremely difficult to play, and it is mostly women who learn it. Very few men learn the pipa, and because of their fingers, very few men can play it well.

But Xiao Qinghe wanted to play the pipa, which shows that he must have studied the pipa for many years and must have a certain level of skill, otherwise he would not have performed on stage.

At this time, Xu Fan also held the identity of a guitar master.

Although the other party's tone was unfriendly, he did not go up and play a better piece to embarrass them.

He was confident that he could play better than the other person, but he didn't care.

After Xiao Qinghe finished his introduction, the room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him on the stage.

The master of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) said to the person next to him, "Xiao Qinghe is the president of my Huaxia Pipa Society. This is his first time participating in the global invitational event, but with his strength, he will surely make a name for himself."

Someone nearby remarked, "Chinese musical instruments are extremely beautiful. I was fortunate enough to hear Master Xiao play the pipa once, and it was indeed excellent. This piece, 'Falling Leaves,' is not his original composition, but rather a famous pipa piece from history."

While everyone was talking, Xiao Qinghe was already sitting in a chair on the stage, ready to be played.

Xu Fan kept his eyes fixed on him. Although he was confident, he still wanted to know how skilled the pipa masters in China were.

No one noticed that among the twenty-odd people sitting at the top, the woman from the gossip kingdom had a slightly cold look in her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Everyone waited quietly, and finally, Xiao Qinghe plucked the strings.

As the piano music began, everyone was captivated.

The master of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) praised it repeatedly, saying, "Look, the pipa has an excellent tone, like falling leaves dancing in the air. This piece is extremely classic, and it sounds even more beautiful in Master Xiao's hands."

Those around him also praised him, nodding repeatedly.

Xu Fan looked at Xiao Qinghe, who was playing the instrument with great concentration, and shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, Xiao Qinghe has a very good grasp of the pipa. Both his playing techniques and movements are very standard. But the key is in a piece of music. The speed of each note and the force with which each string is played will make the piece of music different.

In other words, Xiao Qinghe was tangible but not intangible.

Of course, this was indeed the case to Xu Fan, but to most people who didn't know much about the pipa, it sounded extremely beautiful.

As the song ended, applause erupted.

In China, following the master of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), another master of the pipa (lute) has emerged.

Whether it's the xiao or the pipa, no one at the scene questioned that each instrument is a traditional Chinese instrument, hence the enthusiastic applause.

But sometimes, things are not as they seem. Most people think the pipa belongs to China, but some people don't think so.

Among the twenty-odd people sitting above, the woman from Bagua, with yellow skin, suddenly stood up as everyone applauded and said in a cold voice, "The rhythm, intensity, and melody are all subpar. It's not very good. You've called the musical instruments of my Bagua country Chinese. It's shameful."

As soon as the voice was uttered, countless eyes turned to the woman.

Get the perfect music system at the start

===Chapter 343 You Think You're Worthy of Being Called "Your Father"?===

The woman comes from the land of Bagua (a Chinese mythological country), and she is a top master who can sit on the throne. Her first performance was on the harp, which was extremely classic.

But at this moment she stood up and said: When did the musical instruments of my Bagua country become the musical instruments of your Huaxia country?

She even used the word "shameful," but the key point is that in most people's eyes, the pipa belongs to China.

Xiao Qinghe's expression changed drastically. He stared at the woman and frowned, saying, "It seems that Ms. Park has some doubts about the ownership of the instrument. The pipa has a long history and has belonged to China from ancient times to the present. When did it become an instrument of your Bagua country?"

The woman chuckled, stared at Xiao Qinghe without speaking, but shook her head.

Countless people watched this scene, seeing the two of them arguing over who should own the musical instrument.

In fact, apart from the initial conversation, the scene was extremely quiet.

Park Ga-hye walked toward the stage, wearing a fitted dress, a typical gossip-style outfit that made her figure seem even more striking.

Xiao Qinghe from China stared coldly at Park Jiahui as she walked towards him. Only when she was right beside him did he speak, "Ms. Park, what can I do for you?"

Park Jia-hui said, "You say that the Chinese pipa has a long history, but the pipa has been used in our country for an equally long time. Moreover, the inventor of the pipa was an ancient person from our Bagua country. You say that the Chinese pipa has a long history, but you play the pipa so badly. Are you sure that this is the kind of skill that can be accumulated from a long history?"

You say the Chinese pipa has a long history, but why is it that no one in China can play beautiful pipa pieces? You should be familiar with the Chinese pipa piece "Night Wind and Rain," right? You say the Chinese pipa has a long history, then please provide evidence.

She asked the same question three times in a row, and each time she gave the answer first.

Then you question the evidence?

The scene suddenly fell silent. This was something that should have been indisputable, but under Park Ga-hye's questioning, it suddenly seemed quite reasonable.

Standing on the stage, Xiao Qinghe's expression was not good. He looked at Park Jiahui and said word by word, "The pipa in China has existed since the Qin Dynasty. Isn't that a long history? I, Xiao, believe that my pipa skills are excellent, but there are many people in China who are better than me. Besides, what classic pieces can you play? In the end, 'Night Comes with Wind and Rain' is indeed a classic, but what is so great about a plagiarized work?"

Xiao Qinghe's answer was forceful and clear, and it could be considered as answering each of Park Jiahui's questions word by word.

The first question ensured historical accuracy. The second question involved him lowering his status in front of so many people, saying that there are still other more outstanding people in the country. This was because he knew Park Ga-hye, who was very likely also a pipa master, but his specific skills were unknown.

The last question concerns the famous "Night Wind and Rain" from the Bagua Kingdom, but its prototype is indeed a classic pipa piece from ancient China.

However, the student surpasses the master, and the classic status of this piece is beyond doubt, so Xiao Qinghe can only refute it with the word "plagiarism".

But upon hearing this, Park Ga-hye couldn't help but sneer, "That's ridiculous. You say it existed during the Qin Dynasty? Does that mean it really did? You'll soon find out how well I played it. As for the piece 'Night Wind and Rain,' I don't think you need to refute it."

After speaking, Park Jiahui glanced coldly at Xiao Qinghe and the Chinese people beside him, and said, "The pipa comes from my country of Bagua. Believe it or not, it's a fact. Of course, to make you believe it, I hope you will listen carefully to a pipa piece called 'Night Wind and Rain'."

Only nations with a long history and unbroken traditions can produce truly heavenly music.

The scene erupted in uproar once again, with countless people staring at Park Ga-hye and Xiao Qinghe.

Xiao Qinghe's expression was indifferent, but he did not argue on this point. Instead, he snorted and waited to see what would happen.

Firstly, he didn't want to engage in verbal sparring; secondly, he wanted to see how well Park Ga-hye played the pipa and why she dared to be so arrogant.

Park Ga-hye walked onto the stage, and a pipa prepared by the staff was quickly handed to her.

Xu Fan looked over and saw someone holding a pipa upright.

This pipa was originally created in China, how dare you claim it's from your Bagua country?

A surge of anger flashed through Xu Fan's mind, but Park Ga-hye on the stage politely bowed slightly and then sat down.

It seems somewhat hypocritical, yet there's nothing to say.

when!

The sound of a pipa began, as if the night sky had suddenly descended, followed by a light rain.

The rain pattered down on the small town, the sound of raindrops hitting the ground and the wind blowing through the city streets.

At this moment, the tempo in the pipa music changes drastically.

It must be said that Park Ga-hye's mastery of the pipa is indeed quite good. Although her playing of this piece was casual, the overall artistic conception of the piece was extremely high.

Especially compared to Xiao Qinghe's piece just now, the difference is immediately apparent.

Xiao Qinghe's entire piece was actually fine; the problem was that his hand speed and rhythm control weren't quite at a level of complete control, making it sound somewhat sluggish.

Park Ga-hye's movements were fluid and her rhythm was perfectly timed. The whole piece evoked a feeling of flowing water and a stormy night.

He brought out the beauty of the piece perfectly. When the piece ended, Xiao Qinghe's face was already pale. Looking at Park Jiahui on the stage, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful for coming here.

He originally wanted to use his pipa skills to make Chinese musical instruments famous all over the world, but things didn't go as planned. His friend used the xiao to let everyone know the beauty of the xiao.

But he never expected that Park Ga-hye from the Gossip Kingdom would distort the truth and say that the pipa belongs to the Gossip Kingdom.

The key point is that even he has to admit that Park Ga-hye's pipa playing is better than his own.

What should we do?

Just then, Park Jia-hui gently stopped the last movement of her hand, put down the pipa, and looked at Xiao Qinghe, saying, "Now, do you still think the pipa belongs to the Chinese musical instrument?"
