Chapter 33
This unexpected response caused President Tang's expression to first freeze, then he burst out laughing: "You may not be familiar with this virtuoso performer."

"He is a renowned master of the ancient guqin in China, who has even been nominated for a Grammy Award."

The Grammys are the highest accolade in the world of music.

Gu Sang's face remained expressionless as she spoke in a flat tone: "I was only commenting on the piece of music."

Seeing Gu Sang's stubborn demeanor, President Tang's fondness for her began to diminish.

He had earlier thought that Gu Sang was simply trying to show off, so he had reminded her that this master is considered one of the few renowned grandmasters of ancient musical instruments in the present day.

However, he did not expect Gu Sang to be so single-mindedly focused on her own performance, which left President Tang feeling disappointed.

Someone suggested, "Since Miss Gu is so insistent that the master's performance was not good, then perhaps Miss Gu would like to take the stage and play a piece herself, so that we unsophisticated folk can hear what truly good music sounds like."

"The ancient times were so long ago, can there really be authentic ancient compositions? You're nitpicking!"

"......."

Gu's mother had just come over, intending to introduce Gu Sang to the high-society ladies, but was suddenly shocked to hear Gu Sang criticizing the guqin performance.

Seeing the guqin master, Gu's mother felt a sudden dizziness.

Of course, Gu Sang should not have been brought to this gathering, as she does not even recognize this master - it is so embarrassing!

Gu's mother was about to step forward and pull Gu Sang aside, ready to say a few kind words, but she was startled to see that Gu Sang had actually agreed?

"Okay."

Watching Gu Sang approach the central stage, Gu's mother was stunned.

What is Gu Sang doing?

Gu's mother's blood pressure spiked, wishing she could just rush over and send Gu Sang back home immediately.

How dare Gu Sang step onto that stage!

That small circular platform was reserved for the master's performance!

The master, having also heard Gu Sang's critique of his playing, narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gu Sang.

The master: "Please, teach me."

The crowd could detect the displeasure in his tone.

If Gu Sang dared to sit in that position, it would be an outright provocation to the master!

But if Gu Sang could indeed surpass the master's skills, that would be unthinkable...

The people around all had a mocking expression, watching as Gu Sang sat down.

Gu Sang lowered her head, pondering for a moment - this piece had likely not been fully preserved, and had been reconstructed by later generations in the style of an ancient composition.

To reconstruct an ancient piece would not be something that could be done in a day or two.

Therefore, Gu Sang switched to a different ancient composition.

"It seems you've studied for a few years, your fingering technique is quite standard," the master commented.

A haunting, lamenting melody began to flow forth.
