His gaze was fixed intently on Andrew, and without asking, Andrew knew he was the subject of inquiry.

"Yes."

Andrew's attitude was very positive, showing great respect, "I am Nan's Master."

"How can that be?"

David stood up, circled Andrew twice, his eyes constantly sizing up Andrew, growing more incredulous by the moment.

"I know Patrick, and it's not surprising that he taught a student like Linda, but you..."

As he said this, his gaze fixed directly on Andrew's eyes, filled with disbelief, "I have no recollection of you, you're not an internationally renowned pianist, are you?"

Andrew was not embarrassed in the least, replying with a smile, "Indeed, I am not, and I've neglected the piano for over twenty years now..."

"Ah?"

David's face looked as if he'd been slapped again, stinging fiercely, "Then how did you teach a genius like Nancy? Her piano skills have reached an emotional level, a realm that not just anyone who can play the piano could teach. Could it be... Nancy is a self-taught prodigy, truly a once-in-a-century genius?"

This...

At this, Andrew was a bit embarrassed.

"Heh... David, actually, I don't know how to answer you. Nancy's piano skills were indeed taught by me, and she's been learning from me since she was little, but what exactly I taught her, I don't know, because... I've forgotten the events of the past twenty-plus years."

David's eyes widened in astonishment, turning to look at Patrick.

Patrick shook his head with a smile, "David, this is Andrew! He became famous too early, and at that time, you weren't in that age group. He disappeared from the piano world just as he was becoming famous. If he had persisted, his achievements would likely not be inferior to mine."

David was even more astonished. He had never heard of Andrew, being about ten years older, but Patrick said that if Andrew had continued, his achievements would have been greater than his, then...

This...

"Eh!?"

At the door, Nancy's voice suddenly rang out, "Master, you're here."

Everyone turned their heads to see her walking in with a smile.

David, still in disbelief, pointed at Andrew and asked Nancy, "Is he really your Master?"

"Um."

Nancy walked to Andrew's side, taking his arm, "Teacher David, my piano has always been taught by him. I have never attended a formal music academy, nor have I studied under other teachers. The main purpose of my attending this training camp is to let everyone know that Andrew has never left the piano world. He's back, and he's returned with glory!"

David's heart trembled fiercely, having already admired Nancy, and now his feelings for her were indescribable.

It was as if he would regret it if he couldn't help Nancy win the championship at this training camp.

"Um, good, very good."

David was momentarily overwhelmed, barely containing his excitement, "Come here, Nan."

He beckoned Nancy over, and she approached with Andrew, "Have you decided on the piece for the first public competition?"

Nancy looked towards Linda, "Teacher David, for this public competition, I would like to team up with Linda and perform together."

"What?"

Even with Patrick and Linda present, David glared at Nancy irritably, "It's too risky for two people to team up! What if you're not in sync, or if someone holds the other back? No, I don't agree!"
