Not only was Tao Yue shocked, but Meng Xiao was also in disbelief.

Meng Xiao was sitting behind Tao Yue. She leaned forward and whispered, “Yue Yue, why is Tan Rou sitting with the judges?”

She had heard about Tan Rou from Tao Yue. She felt that Tan Rou had always lived in the Tan family, and the Tan family did not value Tan Rou. How could they let her learn the piano? Even if it was piano, Tan Rou would definitely not be a judge given her age and standard.

But now, Tan Rou was sitting on the stage. Meng Xiao rubbed her eyes several times, but she still saw Tan Rou. This meant that she was not dreaming.

Tao Yue didn’t want to talk to Meng Xiao on stage. Firstly, she didn’t want to expose her relationship with Meng Xiao. Secondly, with so many people watching, she shouldn’t make any unnecessary moves.

Moreover, Tao Yue had seen Tan Rou play the piano before. Tan Ron’s piano skills were superb. When she met Tan Rou outside, Tao Yue’s first reaction was that Tan Rou would steal her place. However, she was relieved when she learned that Tan Rou wasn’t a contestant.

But now, Tao Yue was nervous again. Tan Rou was a judge, so she would definitely give her a low score on purpose. Tao Yue’s face turned ugly when she thought of this.

“Yue Yue, do you know Tan Rou is the judge of this competition?” Meng Xiao asked Tao Yue.

“I don’t know!” Tao Yue said impatiently.

Coincidentally, the host was introducing the judges. He asked everyone if they knew one of the judges. No one said anything, but Tao Yue said, ‘I don’t know’. She changed the focus of the audience again.

The pianist was a kind-looking old man. When he heard Tao Yue say, ’I don’t know’, he wasn’t angry. Instead, he said kindly, “It’s normal that you don’t know me. You’ll know me after this competition.”

Yang Shi was sitting below the stage. She saw Tao Yue make two mistakes in a row and her expression turned ugly. However, after hearing what the piano master said, she suddenly had a little hope. Perhaps the master knew about Tao Yue and wanted to make her his disciple.

Tao Yue, who was on the stage, was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She had already made two mistakes. The judges ‘impression of her must have been greatly reduced. Moreover, one of the judges was Tan Rou. Tan Rou would definitely give her a low score.

Tan Rou glanced at the contestants and smiled. “The first contestant can start now.”

The seat light of the girl on Tao Yue’s right lit up. The girl tidied up her clothes, walked to the piano stand confidently, and began to play.

This was a relatively soothing piece. It was not difficult, and the contestant’s ability was also very strong. She completed the performance excellently. Then, she stood up and bowed to the judges and audience.

Next was the time for the judges to give their comments. Each judge gave a few simple comments, either praising or pointing out their shortcomings.

Initially, everyone was disdainful of Tan Rou, this young judge. They thought that she must be the granddaughter of some grandmaster who came to put on an act. However, when Tan Rou spoke, they realized that Tan Rou was someone who actually knew music, most of the points she said were even more unique than those masters.

The judges’ scores would not be announced for the time being, but they would write the scores on the score sheet and place them into the sealed box. Finally, the scores would be read out.

Tao Yue was the fourth to go on stage. When she went on stage, Tan Rou’s eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened completely. She held the score sheet in her hand in advance and was ready to score Tao Yue.

After seeing Tan Rou’s actions, Tao Yue’s previous messy thoughts came out. She sat in front of the piano and began to panic. Once she panicked, her thoughts became chaotic, and her limbs became uncoordinated. In the end, the music she played was not connected in many places, and it was very unpleasant.

Yang Shi covered her ears when she heard this. She couldn’t believe that her most outstanding disciple could play such a terrible piano piece. Tao Yue’s performance today was about the same as a beginner’s.

Tao Yue also knew that she was finished. She would definitely be placed last today.

After the competition ended, the contestants would return to the lounge to rest. After the judges had tabulated the scores, they would announce them together. In this competition, there was basically a contestant from every city. Meng Xiao had won a spot from another province, so the staff member had a deep impression of the person who was last in the selection.

Tao Yue cried before she got off the stage. She knew that she had ruined her chance..
