Through the host's introduction, Ye Hong knew their names and origins.
The hostile male and female pair were indeed college students.
The man's name is Song Shu and the woman's name is Zhou Ruo.
Both of them are from the Music Department of Orishui University, the highest institution in Orishui Province.
It turned out to be a top student, no wonder the pride in his eyes lingered.
And when Ye Hong was observing everyone, why weren't others observing Ye Hong and Yao Ling
After all, the two of them were the real number one in the first round, and they were strong opponents that no one could ignore.
Finally, after a long wait, the second round of the ancient music competition officially began.
Unlike the first round of group competition, the second round takes a single turn.
The order of performance is determined by the players' independent drawing of lots.
Because Ye Hong and the others won first place in the first round, they had the right to draw first.
"Yao Yao." Ye Hong almost called out Yao Ling's real name, and quickly changed his words: "Go and smoke."
He actually saw Yao Ling staring at the lottery box eager to try.
This girl's childhood was so monotonous that she even looked extremely interested in drawing lots.
So Ye Hong simply fulfilled her wish.
"That's great!"
Yao Ling jumped with light steps and pulled out a paper ball from the box in the host's hand with a smile.
The host opened the paper ball and shouted to everyone in the square: "Congratulations to Mr. Ximen Zhan and Ms. Yaoyao for drawing the number [5]!"
Everyone immediately looked at each other, followed by a complicated discussion.
Number 5 means that among the five groups of contestants, he is the last to play.
According to ordinary competitions, there may be the advantage of being the finale.
But according to today's extremely hot and evaporating weather, the physical strength of the audience, judges, and contestants are all being dried up by the sun.
As time goes by, everyone's patience will gradually diminish, and their appreciation of music will of course be affected.
By the time it was Ye Hong's turn, the patience in everyone's hearts had long been worn away by the high temperature.
Therefore, when they saw the lottery drawn by Yao Ling, the other four groups of contestants immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then showed gloating smiles.
Yao Ling didn't feel anything at all, and ran to Ye Hong with a heartless smile.
Ye Hong glanced at the strange expressions on everyone's faces and smiled lightly, not taking them seriously at all.
The lottery ended quickly, and the first one to appear was the college couple Song Shu and Zhou Ruo.
The two of them walked proudly, glanced at Ye Hong and Yao Ling provocatively, and then slowly stepped onto the center stage of the pergola.
"Brother Hong, their expressions are so scary."
Feeling the hostility coming towards him, Yao Ling said a little scared from the side.
"Oh, maybe I didn't wash my face when I went out, which caused my face to become paralyzed." Ye Hong replied calmly.
"Plop-"
Ye Hong did not lower his voice intentionally, but it reached the ears of Song Shu and Zhou Ruo.
The two of them staggered, but almost fell on the stage.
This sudden appearance immediately triggered a burst of joking laughter outside the venue.
The two men immediately glared at Ye Hong angrily, and then slowly took off the guzheng from behind.
"Next, please enjoy "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" by [Yitian Dragon Slayer Group]."
Amidst the host's bold voice, Song Shu and Zhou Ruo were already sitting side by side, twirling their twenty fingers together and starting to play the two guzhengs in front of them.
The clear overtones and lively rhythm are like "clanging, the cold current in the secluded world; clear and cold, like the trickle of pine roots."
