Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful! Chapter 691 - Zi Yi, Don’t Tell Me You Can’t Even Read a Music Score?

Chapter 691: Zi Yi, Don’t Tell Me You Can’t Even Read a Music Score?

Therefore, after Zi Yi completed the lecture and came out while surrounded by a group of teachers and students, someone who had been standing outside asked, “Student Zi, are you really intending to compete with Miss Ye Li’er? You’re really amazing. Not only are you good at chemistry, you’re also well-versed in piano.”
Zi Yi was not the only one who revealed a confused expression. Even the teachers and students who had tagged along inside the laboratory building were the same.
These people were still immersed in the experiment Zi Yi demonstrated earlier.
One of the female students asked in surprise, “Zi, when did you agree to compete with Miss Ye Li’er?”
Another student asked, “What are you two competing in? Is it chemistry? But isn’t Miss Ye Li’er an Arts student? She has knowledge in chemistry?”
“No. Didn’t you see the school forum? It’s mentioned there that Student Zi has agreed to compete with Miss Ye Li’er in piano.”
Everyone shifted their gaze to Zi Yi.
“Heavens, Z Yi! You even know how to play the piano?”
“Aren’t you too amazing?”
Without even a need to think about it, Zi Yi had guessed that Ye Li’er was deliberately trying to plot against her.
/
She was rather curious. If she were to refuse to compete with her, what would Ye Li’er do?
“I don’t know the Ye Li’er you mentioned.” As soon as Zi Yi said that, everyone froze.
“You don’t know her?”
“No, who is Ye Li’er?”
Everyone immediately introduced Ye Li’er to her. “She’s a student of our National Conservatory of Music. Before she even graduated from school, she had won many international and local awards. Not long ago, she was awarded the title of a grandmaster pianist. She is extremely good at piano.”
Zi Yi revealed an expression of realization and asked, “So she’s competing with me with something she’s good at? Are you sure she’s not trying to make things difficult for me?”
The students thought about it and they had indeed found it to be the case.
Zi Yi added. “However, now that you mentioned this, I seem to have recalled something. I met this Miss Ye Li’er during a dinner banquet. She…”
“Zi Yi!”
A sudden, sharp sounding voice interrupted Zi Yi from talking.
Everyone turned around and saw Ye Li’er and Ge Danni walking over in large strides.
Ye Li’er currently had an ugly expression on her face.
She assumed that with how proud of a person Zi Yi was, as long as she got people to spread the news that Zi Yi issued a challenge against her, Zi Yi could only be led around by the nose. She never expected Zi Yi to dare to speak such nonsense in front of so many people.
Ye Li’er walked forward and stood in front of Zi Yi. She wore a tailored luxury dress today and at the same time, she wore expensive jewelry. Compared to Zi Yi who was wearing a cotton, short-sleeved T-shirt and casual pants, she was obviously superior in all aspects.
However, when they stood next to each other, she could not feel any sense of superiority.
Not to mention, she was wearing eight centimeter tall high heels but she was only the same height as Zi Yi who wore sandals.
This made her upset.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at Ye Li’er who stood in front of her like a fighting chicken. The corner of her eyes seemed to have slightly curved into crescent moons and the question she asked was not polite at all, “You want to compete with me on piano?”
“You don’t dare to compete?” Ye Li’er raised her chin and said, “Oh well, the piano is a musical instrument that only people from high society can play. You don’t look like you know how to play the piano at all. In that case, why did you issue a challenge to compete with me on piano?”
She had not only lowered Zi Yi’s image, she had also purposely told everyone that Zi Yi was the one who issued the challenge.
Zi Yi looked at Ye Li’er who seemed to have determined that she could not play the piano. A few seconds later, she asked, “When have I ever issued you a challenge?”
“Zi Yi, how can you refuse to admit it? The video of you agreeing to compete with Ye Li’er has already been uploaded online. Don’t even think about running away!” Ge Danni raised her voice.
Zi Yi looked at Ge Danni who had a calculating gaze. The corner of her lips curved up. She knew that Ye Li’er and others had doctored the video.
“Zi Yi just admit it if you are unable to win against Ye Li’er.”
The more Ge Danni spoke, the more agitated she got. “It’s not embarrassing to be unskilled at the piano. What’s embarrassing is that you have issued Ye Li’er a challenge and yet, you dare not admit it.”
Zi Yi originally planned to expose their antics, but she suddenly changed her mind.
She said, “Everyone clearly knows that I excel in chemistry and even if I were to issue you a challenge, it would be a challenge in chemistry. How could I possibly challenge you in something you’re good at?”
The spectators felt what she said made sense.
Zi Yi added. “But since you claim that I issued you a challenge to compete in piano and that you have the evidence, no matter what, I should play along with you. However… I’ll issue you a challenge to compete in chemistry right now, do you dare to agree to it?”
Ye Li’er’s expression instantly changed with her words.
Ge Danni yelled in dissatisfaction, “You clearly know that Ye Li’er is a music student and yet, you dare to make things difficult for her like this?!”
“Hmm? I’m making things difficult for her?” Zi Yi expressed her confusion. “I thought that for someone who would initiate a challenge against me, you should at the very least excel in several different aspects, just like me, right?”
Everyone looked at Ye Li’er with a scorching gaze.
Ye Li’er’s face instantly turned red from anger. She clenched her fists tightly. As the daughter of the Prince, she could not allow herself to be looked down on. She took a deep breath and said, “Then let’s compete in languages. We’ll see who can speak more languages. I believe you should be good at several languages, correct?”
“Are you sure about that?”
“Yes. So let’s compete in piano right now.”
“Sure.”
As soon as Zi Yi agreed, this incident had spread all around the whole of A.Uni in an instant.
A swarm of students followed Zi Yi to the School of Music. Zi Yi and Ye Li’er entered the piano room and the entire corridor was packed to the brim with students.
A few music professors had also been invited over.
Ye Li’er looked at the piano with a confident expression. She purposely asked, “Who shall take the stage first?”
Zi Yi’s lips curved up. “I’ll go first then. After all, you are a grandmaster pianist and you can only prove your skills after playing after me.”
If someone else were to say that sentence, it would sound like praise. However, when it came out from Zi Yi, Ye Li’er felt that she was mocking her.
Even so, at the thought of how embarrassed Zi Yi would be when she was unable to play the piano, Ye Li’er did not care about how Zi Yi had mocked her.
“Of course.”
Zi Yi walked over to the piano and one of the music professors spoke up. “The scores are placed right beside you. Student Zi can take your pick from them.”
Zi Yi walked to the piano and sure enough, she saw many music scores placed there.
She flipped through all the music scores.
Ge Danni who was standing next to Ye Li’er said, “Ye Li’er doesn’t even need to refer to the music scores. Moreover, the music scores here are most likely rather simple. I didn’t expect that you still had to take your time to choose.”
Zi Yi could not even be bothered to look at her and she said, “Can I not use the music scores here?”
“Of course. If you have the skill, you can even create your own piece on the spot.”
Zi Yi seemed to have pondered over it for a moment before she nodded. “Your suggestion sounds good.”
She then looked at everyone and asked, “Can I take a look at the performance of a pianist for some inspiration?”
“Zi Yi, don’t tell me you can’t even read a music score and you’re deliberately trying to play for time?”
