If the Sun dance troupe was the top dance troupe in Xia country, then Meng Xiaodong’s dance troupe was the pinnacle in the international dance world. There was no comparison between the two dance troupes, nor were they on the same level.
Long Yuning’s eyes were trembling. She never expected that Meng Xiaodong would so earnestly invite Feng Qing to join her dance troupe in front of Imperial Concubine Anna. This was simply a dream for all the dancers!
Feng Qing said firmly as she looked at the sincere Meng Xiaodong, “What made you misunderstand that I have to work in the dance industry? What made you believe that if I dance well, or if I have dance talent, I have to enter the dance world? Today is the first and last time I’m dancing in public.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Xiaodong’s expression froze. She said in disbelief, “You, what did you say? Do you know what you’re talking about? How many people want to have talent like yours but can’t? How many people want to create a huge work like ‘High Song and Widow’ like you? As long as you make some effort with your current talent and physical condition, you will quickly surpass me and become the top figure in Xia country’s dance world. But you say that this is your last dance. Don’t you think it’s a pity? Don’t you think it’s the biggest waste?!”
Feng Qing ignored Meng Xiaodong and walked past her to sit at the main table and continue eating.
Meng Xiaodong looked at her and shook her head vigorously. Her slightly yellow eyes were filled with regret and pity. Ever since she was fifty years old, she had gradually faded from the stage. She had been wandering around to find someone who could inherit her mantle. She originally thought that Long Yuning was the best seedling, but when she saw Feng Qing’s dance just now, she knew how pitiful her horizons were. Long Yuning, the Light of Dance in Xia country, was completely incomparable to Feng Qing. If Feng Qing was the bright moon, Long Yuning would be a firefly, insignificant and not worth mentioning.
Feng Qing not choosing to work in the dance industry was undoubtedly a nightmare for Meng Xiaodong. She felt that it was a waste of Feng Qing’s talents, and she also felt regret for the entire Xia country’s dance world, even for the international dance world. It was a pity that Feng Qing did not dance!
Imperial Concubine Anna sat at the head of the table. She looked at Feng Qing with curiosity and gratification. She was curious about what Feng Qing didn’t know and felt relieved for her former master.
“Qingqing, I really didn’t expect that not only do you know how to mix perfume, but you also know how to dance. Moreover, you can dance so well. It’s not an overstatement to say that the dance you danced just now was definitely the most beautiful and artistic dance I’ve ever seen in my life. No, others are dances, but yours is an art.” Imperial Concubine Anna praised.
“Your Highness, you’re flattering me,” Feng Qing said calmly.
Imperial Concubine Anna shifted her gaze to Long Yuning and said meaningfully, “Miss Long, I have to thank you for your recommendation just now. If not for you insisting on Feng Qing to perform, everyone and I would have missed Feng Qing’s fairy-like beautiful dance.”
Long Yuning : “…”
Long Yuning wished that another crystal lamp could smash her to death immediately after hearing the Imperial Concubine’s polite but sarcastic words. She was already extremely embarrassed, and now, the atmosphere was led astray by the Imperial Concubine. It was equivalent to humiliating her in public again. The Imperial Concubine’s words naturally resonated with most of the guests.
“Hmph, the Imperial Concubine is already very polite. As long as everyone here is not blind, everyone can tell that this dance was originally Feng Qing’s original composition. Moreover, she danced much better than Long Yuning.”
“No wonder Long Yuning only danced the first two sections of ‘High Song and Widow’, but I’ve never seen her dance the last two sections. It turns out that this isn’t her original work at all. She just secretly learned from Master YLL. Unfortunately, she only learned a little. Moreover, she can’t dance out the beauty and mood of Master YLL’s dance.”
“No matter which industry it is, plagiarism is shameful. Long Yuning’s actions have really shamed the dance world in Xia country and Master Meng Xiaodong.”
“I really admire Long Yuning’s shamelessness. She clearly stole someone else’s things and took them for herself. Not only that, but she even openly claimed that it was her original work. What do you mean by not having inspiration to choreograph the last two sections? She obviously didn’t copy those two sections, and she can’t compose it herself.”
“Bah! What Sun dance troupe? Chief dancer? She’s obviously just a thief with no moral bottom line. She’s not worthy of being a dancer if she plagiarize someone’s work.”
