At Fengyue Tower, Xiao Fan was treating guests, and he got here first.
Before long, Gu Yanqing and the others arrived one after another. About 20 people from the luthier alliance came over, and about 30 people from the other luthiers came over.
Before the food and drinks were served, the maid from Fengyue Tower made hot tea for Xiao Fan and the others. It was cold weather and a cup of hot tea could warm up the body.
"Xiao Shidu, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
An old man said that Xiao Fan knew this old man. He had played for Jiang Qian and he had already reached the level of a grand master.
"Mr. Mu, please speak."
Xiao Fan said quickly.
The other party is not as good as him in piano skills, but he is one or two hundred years old. In his previous life, he would have been his grandfather's grandfather at such an old age.
Mu Lao said in a deep voice: "Xiao Shidu, I heard that Alliance Leader Gu and others persuaded you to become the captain. I admire your talent very much, but I have different opinions on you becoming the captain."
"You are still young and don't have enough experience in this kind of thing. If Leader Gu doesn't want to be the captain, I will do it."
Gu Yanqing frowned and said, "Grandmaster Mu Da, what do you mean? It's as if I'm harming Xiao Shidu by recommending him to be the captain."
"The captain represents our Tianlong Empire, and those who are capable are in charge. Which one of us is as capable as Xiao Shidu in terms of piano art?"
Mu Lao said softly: "Leader Gu, I didn't say you wanted to harm Xiao Shidu. I just think that Xiao Shidu is still young and there will be many more opportunities like this for Xiao Shidu in the future."
"I support Mu Lao's view."
"Xiao Shidu's current experience is not enough."
The rest of the people spoke one after another, some supported Gu Yanqing's opinion, and some supported Mu Lao's opinion. Xiao Fan observed silently, and there were more people supporting Gu Yanqing.
People who have not joined the Luthier Alliance, due to various reasons, some also want to join the Luthier Alliance. In this situation, Mu Lao and others are helpless.
"Leader Gu, we'd better ask Xiao Shidu for his opinion! Xiao Shidu, you have to think carefully. If you fail, it may seriously affect your reputation and may cause you to have a knot in your heart."
"If the knot is formed, it will prevent you from becoming a piano saint in the future."
Mu Lao said worriedly.
He sincerely hopes that Xiao Fan will not become the captain, and hopes that the Tianlong Empire will have top piano masters at the piano saint level in the future.
On the earth, the Qin Sheng is equivalent to the world's top musician. The Tianlong Empire is one of the strongest countries, but it has been a long time since the Qin Sheng appeared.
There is no saint of calligraphy, chess, or painting...
So now there is a saying in various countries that the Tianlong Empire is a cultural desert, which makes the people of the Tianlong Empire unable to raise their heads when talking about this.
A country is not a gang, it is not a bandit, it is not just a matter of having some strong people or a relatively strong army.
How long a country can last depends on its strength and culture.
Strength is a person's skeleton, and culture is equivalent to a person's flesh and blood.
In today's Tianlong Empire, if the Qin Saint and the Painting Saint appear, their status will definitely not be lower than that of a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse.
There are dozens of Martial Emperor-level powerhouses in the Tianlong Empire on the surface, and there must be some secretly. There is nothing surprising about them.
"What do you say, Xiao Shidu?"
Alliance leader Gu asked, "Such an experience is rare for you. Grandmaster Mu is a bit alarmist. How come you are so upset when you lead a team to participate in the Qin Sheng Exchange Conference?"
Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Mr. Mu, Alliance Leader Gu, I think what you said is right. There is something I haven't had time to tell you yet."
"I am already a piano saint!"
After Xiao Fan finished speaking, Mu Lao and the others looked at Xiao Fan in shock.
"Xiao Shidu, are you serious?"
Soon Mu Lao said in a trembling voice, with a nervous look on his face. If what Xiao Fan said was true, it would be extremely exciting news.
Gu Yanqing and others' expressions were a bit complicated. Xiao Fan becoming the Qin Sage would undoubtedly be of some benefit to them.
But if Xiao Fan becomes the Qin Saint, there will be a big earthquake in the Qin art world, and some of their small circles will be broken by Xiao Fan.
Some of their original interests will turn into nothing.
Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Mr. Mu, how could I joke about such a thing? Maybe it's because the inheritance I received is relatively strong, and I became the Qin Saint easily."
"Ha ha."
Mu Lao laughed out loud, "Xiao Shidu, you actually became the Qin Sage. That's great, great! For such a young Qin Sage, if you stop there, our country will lose face!"
"I have no objection to you becoming captain."
Gu Yanqing's eyes showed regret. If he had known that Xiao Fan was already the piano saint, he would have been the captain himself.
Even if most of the limelight is taken away by Xiao Fan, as the captain, he can still gain a lot of fame.
"Leader Gu, you were very supportive of Xiao Shidu becoming the captain before, but now you are not opposed to Xiao Shidu becoming the captain, right?"
Mu Lao looked at Gu Yanqingdao.
Gu Yanqing said solemnly: "Of course not. I know that Xiao Shidu has a strong ability to withstand pressure. He will definitely become a piano saint."
Xiao Fan glanced over, smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, you are all seniors in the piano art world. I hope that we can work together in the future to make the Tianlong Empire achieve better development in this aspect."
Everyone nodded.
Gu Yanqing sighed secretly in his heart, Xiao Fan, this young man, is amazing.
He became the Qin Saint at a young age, but Xiao Fan didn't have any pride, and he didn't rely on becoming the Qin Saint to slap them in the face.
"Seniors, I originally wanted to give the Black Flame Empire a surprise, but we have different opinions internally, so this is not good."
"At this time, if we have internal conflicts, it will make other countries laugh. Mr. Mu, Leader Gu, what do you think?"
Xiao Fan said.
Mu Lao nodded slightly.
Gu Yanqing smiled and said, "Xiao Shidu, Grandmaster Mu and I don't have any conflicts. We are our own people. If we have a few drinks later, any unhappiness will disappear after a few glasses of wine."
"That's what Alliance Leader Gu said."
Mu Lao smiled and nodded.
Gu Yanqing waved his hand: "Why does Leader Gu ignore the leader? Unless Xiao Shidu joins the Luthier Alliance as the leader, wouldn't the Luthier Alliance be a joke?"
Many people's eyes showed surprise.
Gu Yanqing secretly sighed in his heart. If the Luthier Alliance broke up, his benefits would be much less. But with Xiao Fan, the piano saint, around, the influence of the Luthier Alliance would definitely be less than before.
If we break up now, we can still have a good reputation. If we have to break up in the future, the benefits will be gone and the reputation will be gone too.
In the long run, it's better to break up now.
Mu Lao's eyes lit up: "Everyone, I have a suggestion. Xiao Shidu should be the leader of the Luthier Alliance. How about we all join?"
"agree."
"I have no opinion!"
Everyone spoke one after another.
Xiao Fan chuckled and said: "Everyone, just by listening to what I said, you are convinced that I really have the strength of the Qin Sheng level."
Mu Lao laughed and said: "Xiao Shidu, we still have this bit of trust. You, Grand Master Yuan Wan, are still the fifth-grade prince's attendant. There is no need to lie and ruin your reputation."
Gu Yanqing said: "Xiao Shidu, the Luthier Alliance is just a loose alliance, and it doesn't actually have much going on."
“We mainly gather together to communicate and learn.”
"You are the Saint of Musical Instruments. If you are the leader of the Musical Instruments Alliance, everyone will accept it, and the musical instruments of our Tianlong Empire will not be scattered."
Everyone looked at Xiao Fan, with expectations in many people's eyes.
Xiao Fan thought in his mind that he was too lazy to be the leader of the Luthier Alliance before, but the current leader of the Luthier Alliance is pretty good.
"Okay, I agree."
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Mu, Mr. Gu, you two will be the deputy leaders. I have to trouble you to deal with some normal things."
