Chapter 653  : Did Not Take the Test

“I admit that the reason I had been rejected was because of my own performance, and I’m willing to accept this result,” Yao Ran said. “But don’t you think that the others have been wronged themselves? Please don’t judge them for my mistakes. It’s unfair.”

These words made Wu Hai feel much better.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt. Maybe he had thought too much and wronged her. This was his fault.

A kind girl like Ranran wouldn’t deliberately expose him like this.

In fact, she didn’t even say anything!

He was just thinking too much.

Besides, he wasn’t the one who had lost something here. He didn’t pass the assessment either way, but Yao Ran lost the opportunity to enter the Association.

Yao Ran was the one who had suffered the most. If he hadn’t insisted on seeking justice for all of them, then she wouldn’t have lost the opportunity to take the assessment.

He was the one who should apologize.

She even defended him in front of all these judges.

Just the thought of this made him uncomfortable.

“Ranran, I’m sorry for implicating you.”

Yao Ran only managed a smile, but her eyes carried sadness and disappointment.

This move had always assisted her during trying times.

Just when she thought that the judges would be moved by her words and let her pass the assessment, she heard the old man speak,

“It’s good that you think like this.”

Yao Ran’s expression froze. She couldn’t help but glance at the judges before her, wanting to see if they had been moved by her performance. But they all appeared as cold as the old man.

She was stunned.

Why was this reaction completely different from what she had thought?

Were they heartless?

At this moment, everyone was gazing at her fervently as if waiting for her to ask the question.

Now, she had no choice but to ask it.

“Do you mean that you wouldn’t be using this rule in the next assessment?”

Yao Ran didn’t believe that the old man would give up on using this rule.

As long as the old man would say no, then she’d still have a way out.

Everyone also gazed at the old man as if wanting to know his answer.

“We won’t be using this rule until next year.”

After they heard it, they all cheered.

Yao Ran almost fell to the ground.

Why did he have to change the rules? Was he only trying to target her?

Why?

Was it Yao Tang?

Now that she had lost, was she happy?

However, just when everyone was smiling, the old man added, “Until next year, the Music Association won’t be hosting any assessments.”

The Music Association wouldn’t host any assessments until next year.

Any?

No assessments?

Everyone was stunned, unsure of what he meant.

Especially for those who had been able to pass the first and second assessment.

For those who failed the assessment, they didn’t really care. After all, they could use this time to train themselves.

However, for those who have taken and passed the assessment, this was like a bolt of lightning. They just couldn’t accept it.

Had they heard wrongly?

However, when they looked around and saw everyone’s faces, they could only confirm their thoughts.

What right did he have to say such a thing?

“That’s impossible.”

Someone asked in disbelief.

The surrounding people began nodding their heads in agreement. It seemed that he wasn’t alone in thinking so.

There must be something wrong!

Either their hearing was off or this man had gone mental!
