"Half an hour later, it will be our turn to use the practice room. Do you believers need to eat? Can you go eat outside and clear the room for us?"
Rainbow's drummer, Wu Xi, loudly addressed the believers as soon as he entered the room. His tone was clearly not one of negotiation.
Bi Yonggang frowned and glanced around, noticing that his "rival" Sun Xuefeng wasn't there, only the other three members of Rainbow. His expression turned displeased.
Zhang Hao, who had tied back his long hair, responded irritably, "Why should we clear the room for you? We paid to rent the practice room for five hours, and we can do whatever we want! What's it to you? Is there a rule that says you can't eat in the practice room?"
Jin Mengyi tugged at Zhang Hao's arm, signaling him to tone it down.
Rainbow's guitarist, Ren Yuanhang, sneered at Zhang Hao, "Why are you always so arrogant, Zhang Hao? Do you think you're better just because you have money?"
Zhang Hao retorted, "Bro, are you kidding? Who's being arrogant, me or you? We can do whatever we want in the practice room, and you come in and try to kick us out. What's the deal?"
Because of Bi Yonggang, Li He was also very unhappy with Rainbow. He scowled and reasoned with them, "Don't start trouble for no reason. When it's seven o'clock, we'll move out, and you can practice your band. If you're here to pick a fight, don't blame us believers for not warning you: if you don't want us to practice, we won't let you practice comfortably either!"
Ren Yuanhang mocked, "Your band's skills aren't great, but your attitude sure is big."
Zhang Hao countered strongly, "Even if our band's skills aren't great, we're still a thousand times better than your Rainbow!"
This was Rainbow, Lin Zai Shan realized. No wonder the believers were so unhappy when the three of them came in.
Rainbow's keyboardist, An Hao, who was chubby and had a more laid-back personality, quickly tried to defuse the tension, "We're not here to pick a fight. A couple of days ago, we heard from the Buddha band that your band has a new, talented guitarist. Brother Hang wants to come and spar with you."
Ren Yuanhang scanned the room and fixed his gaze on Lin Zai Shan, who had white hair, and asked, "Sir, are you the new guitarist for the believers? How old are you? Are you still in college?"
Lin Zai Shan was amused and was about to speak when Bai Ge interjected, "Who are you? Can you show some respect when talking to your elders?"
"Who are you? Little girl," Ren Yuanhang looked at Bai Ge. She looked so young, like a middle school student, but her words were sharp.
"I'm the new guitarist for the believers, Bai Ge, a third-year student in the media department. This is my dad, who is also our band's mentor."
"Ha ha ha, your band even has a mentor? Are you kidding?" Ren Yuanhang and Wu Xi both laughed. An Hao, however, looked at Bai Ge more closely but couldn't see any signs of an excellent guitarist in her.
"Are you looking for a fight?" Zhang Hao's temper flared, and he stood up, ready to confront Ren Yuanhang.
Li He also stood up, his face showing anger.
Jin Mengyi knew that Zhang Hao and Li He weren't the type to back down easily. A few words could lead to a fight, so she quickly stood up and confronted Ren Yuanhang, "What are you here for? If you have nothing to do, don't disturb us while we're eating!"
"Haozi, Li He, Xiao Jin, sit back down."
Lin Zai Shan spoke.
"Master, they're looking for a fight!" Zhang Hao was indignant.
Lin Zai Shan gestured for them to sit down and be quiet.
Then he looked at Ren Yuanhang and asked, "Are you from the Rainbow band?"
"I'm the guitarist for Rainbow, Ren Yuanhang."
"What about the other two?"
"I'm the drummer, Wu Xi."
"I'm the keyboardist, An Hao."
Lin Zai Shan's demeanor was unusually calm, and his build wasn't the intimidating type that would make people afraid at first glance.
But for some reason, facing this thin, white-haired uncle, Ren Yuanhang and the others suddenly didn't dare to be too arrogant. Perhaps it was Lin Zai Shan's gesture that silenced Zhang Hao, which gave off a strong aura that made Ren Yuanhang and the others hesitant to act rashly.
"You came here to spar with the believers, right?"
"I want to spar with the believers' new guitarist," Ren Yuanhang replied to Lin Zai Shan.
"What do you want to spar about?" Bai Ge asked.
"Let's see who's better at playing the guitar!"
Facing Bai Ge, Ren Yuanhang became arrogant again, "The Buddha band said the believers' new guitarist could outplay me. I don't believe it!"
"Looks like you're here to get beaten," Song Peng excitedly urged, "Go, Bai Ge, beat him! Make him believe it!"
"Beat him!" Li He also encouraged.
Bi Yonggang nodded deeply at Bai Ge, also looking forward to seeing her outplay the other side.
But Bai Ge wasn't interested in these trivial matters and told Ren Yuanhang, "If you don't believe it, that's fine. I'm not as good as you, okay? Please leave and don't disturb our meal. Dad, hurry up and finish the last three boxes so we can practice. The practice room costs 50 yuan per hour, and Zhang Hao paid for it. We can't waste it on irrelevant people."
Zhang Hao said cheerfully, "No problem, Bai Ge, I want to see you beat that idiot. It'll be worth it."
"Don't keep causing trouble! Save your voice and get it back in shape! If it's because of you that all our practice time is wasted, you'll be in trouble!"
Zhang Hao was speechless at Bai Ge's words.
Lin Zai Shan originally wanted to see Bai Ge outplay the other side, but seeing that she wasn't interested, he didn't push it.
He smiled at Ren Yuanhang, "You heard my daughter. She's not interested in sparring with you. If you're really confident in your guitar skills, there's no need to prove it by sparring with her."
Ren Yuanhang stubbornly said, "I just want to see what level the believers' new guitarist is at."
"Alright, then wait over there. These kids will eat and then practice some more. You can watch from the side."
Zhang Hao was taken aback, "Master, you're letting them watch us practice?"
"What's wrong? Are you embarrassed to let others watch? Having an audience will help you practice performing under pressure."
Lin Zai Shan picked up his lunch box and waved his chopsticks at the kids, "Hurry up and eat. Finish quickly and get back to practice. ... Have you three eaten?"
Caught off guard by Lin Zai Shan's question, Wu Xi replied, "We... we've eaten."
"Good, we don't have extra food for you. These three boxes are mine. Hehe."
Lin Zai Shan smiled and started eating voraciously.
Ren Yuanhang and the others were stunned, not understanding what this uncle's identity was or why he was eating so messily.
The five believers, Bai Ge, and Jin Mengyi, led by Lin Zai Shan, continued to eat and chat, ignoring Rainbow's three members.
Ren Yuanhang and the others felt very awkward, not knowing whether to leave or stay. They looked at each other, unsure what to do. Were they really going to be the audience for the believers?
