Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

Metropolis University was the most famous university in the country, so a lot of activities were held on the campus and a lot of signboards for exhibitions could usually be seen on the roadside.

There were a lot more signboards displayed today. Also, they were all about the same cultured-looking man.

Mu Sheng took a second look when she noticed he was Ouyang He, a lifetime member of the International Music Association.

The International Music Association was the highest music authority in the world. To date, it had no more than 50 members. Just this connection alone meant Ouyang He was a national treasure.

According to the description on the signboard, Ouyang He was the most talented pianist in the country and had subliminal skills. Mu Sheng could not help feeling curious since his piano skills were deemed subliminal.

Mu Sheng checked the time and noticed that his lecture overlapped with her exam. She contemplated before going over to the office to register for a ticket and headed over to the hall.

When Mu Sheng got to the entrance, someone stopped her. Since she did not have a ticket, the security guard refused to let her enter.

Mu Sheng did not insist. Instead, she went to an empty classroom in the art department with her bag.

All the classrooms were equipped with computers, so Mu Sheng turned on a computer, entered some code, and quickly gained access to the surveillance footage inside the hall.

Ouyang He had high status, so the decoration in the hall looked high-end and serious. The audience sat quietly and did their best not to ruin the artistic atmosphere.

The school principal spoke a few words. After that, three other department heads gave their speeches before a refined man in his thirties dressed in a silver suit went on stage.

“I’d like to thank the school for inviting me here. I used to study at Metropolis University. Now that I am back in school, I can’t help feeling emotional.” Master Ouyang looked cultured and sounded warm as he spoke.

Mu Sheng thought Ouyang He would perform a lot during his lecture. However, Ouyang He proceeded to get interviewed by the host for the rest of the lecture and did not perform as Mu Sheng hoped.

Mu Sheng lost interest after waiting for a while. Just as she was about to turn off the computer, Ouyang He shared some inspiration he had after coming back to his homeland and stood up.

“Coming back home has inspired me a lot. Last night while I was admiring the moon at the school lake, I composed a song. Since I got inspired by Metropolis University, it is only befitting that I present it to the school.”

The moment Ouyang He finished his sentence, he sat in front of the piano.

Mu Sheng’s hands halted, and she left the computer on.

Admiration rose in Mu Sheng’s eyes the moment he played the first note.

Any music connoisseur could tell that it was truly befitting to call Ouyang He a piano master.

Ouyang He’s new song was slow and relaxing. It felt as dark as the night but gave off a bright and gentle feeling.

The audience was quickly transported and found themselves standing in front of the lake at night with moonlight flickering across the lake surface. The moon was so captivating that it left its audience enraptured.

Even though some of the true beauty of the piano was lost since she was not hearing it live, she could imagine how moving it must be to hear it in person judging from how the song sounded.

The audience was completely immersed in Ouyang He’s song. Mu Xiao felt very moved by the song. She looked at Ouyang He and felt he certainly lived up to his name as a master.

If she could become his disciple, she would have the ticket to access the capital’s high society and marry into the Li family while proudly bathing in glory.

Mu Xiao held her phone tightly as she thought about what Zhang Man said. After Ouyang He was done performing and getting ready to leave the stage, Mu Xiao quietly stood up and left the hall.

Ouyang He’s performance had inspired Mu Sheng. Music slowly flowed in the air as she sat in front of the piano and played it.

Mu Sheng was in her own world as she composed music in the empty classroom.

It felt as though she was no longer in an empty classroom at Metropolis University. Instead, she was in an exuberant forest where fairies flew around in the air as deer walked by the river and rabbits played in the fallen leaves. Everything about the song sounded ethereal.

Ouyang He stopped the school staff from sending him any further once they got to the art department.

“Thanks. I would like to take a walk by myself since I haven’t been here for years,” said Ouyang He as he smiled.

Since Ouyang He was an important man in the local music industry, the teachers did not insist on getting in his way. “Okay then. Thank you so much for giving the lecture. It was a real boon to us.”

After bidding farewell to the teachers, Ouyang He walked slowly on the school path.

As classes were going on, there weren’t a lot of people walking around.

Ouyang He looked at the ivy-covered walls and the dust on the window and thought about how it was like when he used to study here.

He happily reminisced as he looked around and walked on the campus.

However, Ouyang He halted in his steps when he got to the art department.

He suddenly turned his head to look at a classroom at the end of the second floor.

Since Ouyang He was a musician, he was particularly sensitive to music. He could keenly sense someone playing piano in that classroom.

It sounded as though the pianist had just come up with this song. The lovely music made him feel as though he was in a lively forest for one moment before it brought him to some lonely mountains the next. Moonlight scattered everywhere, and it felt as though he was having an out-of-body experience and flying everywhere the song willed him to go.

It sounded happy and unrestrained.

Ouyang He was so enraptured by the song that he forgot about walking. He stood by the roadside with his eyes closed and felt utterly immersed in the music.

Moonlight swept over the lands across the rivers. Just as it was about to soar into the heavens and reach its climax, the music stopped abruptly.

Ouyang He waited for some time, but he heard nothing. He finally opened his eyes and strode over wanting to find out who the pianist was.

Ouyang He’s phone suddenly rang at this very moment. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned before he halted.

After looking at his phone for some time, he finally answered it.

“He, save me!” A miserable voice came from over the phone.

Ouyang He was stunned. “Where are you?”

The caller quickly gave Ouyang He the location. Ouyang He held the phone as he looked upstairs. “Okay. Just stay put and wait for me. I am coming over now. Don’t do anything rash until I get there.”

The moment he finished his sentence, Ouyang He left the art department and ran over to the parking lot worriedly.

Meanwhile, Mu Sheng frowned as she looked at the intruder.

“Yes?”

Mu Xiao looked at her inconceivably. “Were you the one playing the piano earlier?”

For a moment, Mu Xiao was unable to keep up her usual fake smile as she was simply too shocked.

Zhang Man had made arrangements to keep this classroom empty for Mu Xiao. Since this classroom was located near the school’s main path, Ouyang He was bound to walk past it.

Mu Xiao hurriedly went upstairs when she saw Ouyang He coming this way. She wanted to perform that new song she had mysteriously come into possession of. After practicing for days, she was finally able to play it smoothly.

She did not expect to hear beautiful piano music coming from the room when she got to the door.

Mu Xiao would have suspected it was Ouyang He if she did not know for a fact that he was on the sidewalk. After all, the pianist had a mind-blowing talent.

Ouyang He was about to walk past the art department. If Mu Xiao did not send the culprit away, she would be too late, so she anxiously opened the door. The moment she saw the person sitting in front of the piano, she was shocked.

She had speculated about who the pianist was, but it never dawned on her that Mu Sheng was capable of playing such a complicated and elegant piece.

Mu Sheng was always tone-deaf and a slow learner. All her life, Mu Sheng had been reduced to pure decoration and served only to make Mu Xiao look good.

Mu Xiao asked yet again when Mu Sheng refused to answer, “Was that you playing the piano?”

Mu Sheng glanced at Mu Xiao before pulling her hands from the piano. Piano was all about inspiration. All the inspiration she had after watching Ouyang He perform disappeared when Mu Xiao showed up, so she stood up and said, “Can’t you afford to treat your eyes?”

In an instant, Mu Xiao’s head rumbled in disbelief, but the facts were the facts. Mu Sheng was the only person in the classroom. Since anti-theft netting was installed on the windows, it was impossible for someone to run out of the room after playing the song without her knowing.

That meant Mu Sheng was a piano expert!

Then why had she pretended she could not play piano all these years?

A million questions rose in Mu Xiao’s mind, but now was not the time to clear her doubts.

Ouyang He was going to get here any minute, so she could not let Mu Sheng become his disciple. Absolutely not! Mu Xiao contemplated before she stepped forward and put on a calm expression. “As I understand, you are supposed to be in the middle of an exam now. Aren’t you afraid of getting kicked out of the university if you do not attend it?”

Mu Sheng was unafraid, but she simply did not want to see the likes of Mu Xiao, so she took her bag and wanted to leave.

A couple of steps later, Mu Sheng suddenly halted and looked at Mu Xiao. “The pride of the family?”

The original owner of the body was very talented and won a lot of prizes when she was a child since her mother used to be the most gifted young lady among her peers. After Mu Xiao came to the Mu residence, the original owner of the body gradually lost her talent and Mu Xiao became the pride of the family.

The moment Mu Sheng saw the hate in Mu Xiao’s eyes, she thought about how Mu Xiao had tortured the original owner of the body all those years. Mu Xiao had used the original owner of the body to make herself look good. Hence, Mu Sheng could not resist mocking her.

Mu Sheng left the classroom and ignored Mu Xiao after finishing her sentence.

Mu Xiao’s face became distorted in fury from behind.

Mu Sheng was mocking her! She was undoubtedly ridiculing her!

How could Mu Sheng have the cheek to mock her? Mu Xiao clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into her flesh.

Mu Sheng walked out of the classroom and bumped into Xiao Ziyu.

Xiao Ziyu looked at Mu Sheng and frowned. He was worried that she had found out he was having class here and was waiting for him to show up.

However, Mu Sheng did not even cast an eye at him and simply walked past him.

Xiao Ziyu exhaled in relief before entering the classroom to see Mu Xiao inside.

“Was that you playing the piano earlier?”
