Selina continued, "Later, with the advent of television, the internet, and computers, various forms of entertainment emerged, and opera gradually faded into obscurity. It's said that Jimmy Parker was too proud to conform to the ongoing trend, unwilling to retire, and just wanted to contimie singing opera. Is that why you left Broburgh

As if touched on a sore spot, Jimmy glared at Selina and scolded, "Shut up! Don't think you know me! You're you're talking to?"

Selina smiled slightly and replied, "I don't know you well. I rant about you from Ms. Lopez, who taught me to sing opera"

The live chat exploded instantly.

What the hell? He's awesome. Is he some master living in seclusion!]

Jimmy suddenly found Selina familiar.

her

Then, he thought, 'Oh, I've seen her in the picture Roselle sent me. Roselle said she met her while visiting an old friend. She was Roselle's old friend's disciple, was a little interested in opera, and was talented. Roselle taught her a few things and liked her more and more, so Roselle gave the address. She mastered every skill Roselle knew, surpassing Roselle. It also meant that Roselle had found an heir to inherit her legacy, and she would have no regrets, even in death.

Selina bowed respectfully and then said. "Mr. Parker, are you really not going to talk anymore!"

"Follow me," Jimmy finally relented, picking

Selina signaled to Lydia with a glance, and the two quickly followed. The caretaker also wanted to follow but was stopped by Jimmy Jimmy demanded, "You all stay right where you are, don't follow me. That includes the cameraman. You're not allowed to come over!" "Damn it, Jim. You really the caretaker cursed.

"Uh..." The cameraman was in a dilemma. He had a job to do, live-streaming Selina and Lydia. Besides, suddenly discovering a national treasure- level opera master's hidden retreat in the village that hadn't been uncovered in the previous three seasons would create a buzz if he filmed it well. Reluctantly, he didn't want to miss out.

Daniel, monitoring everything from behind the scenes, immediately contacted the cameraman via walkie-talkie. "Do whatever it takes! You must keep up and film this

Other shows struggle to find a highlight even after a whole season, but with Selina, there's something new every day. How could they just let this go? Selina then said, "Mr. Parker, if you want to keep opera alive, this livestream of Serenity of Rural Life is an opportunity. Instead of letting it stall, why not try something new and embrace fresh ideas?"

"I hate them," Jimmy poused like a stubborn child

After Selina mentioned Roselle, Jimmy's expression changed slightly. Thinking of Roselle's temper, even hiding here wouldn't save him from being thoroughly beaten. "Come if you want, I don't care, Jimmy said, then walked away first

Lydia winked at Selina and said. "Selina, you really pulled it off I thought this lead was a dead end."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Selina replied, "I didn't expect to run into Mr. Parker here. Fortunately, I knew a bit about him and M. Lopez from my mentor. Mr. Parker is actually afraid of his wife."

"Afraid of his wife, so he hid here? Lydia asked. She couldn't help gossiping a bit.

Selina answered. "It may still be because the times have changed, and Mr. Parker is not happy about it. Although he's afraid of his wife, he has a deep relationship with Ms. Lopez, and she understands his situation. No wonder he's being stubborn. Let's just leave him be

As they hushedly discussed Jimmy and Roselle, they arrived at Jimmy's house.

It was an exquisitely built, bamboo-style courtyard in the village, with a big tree, a swing, coffee tables, vegetables, flower pots, and a stone-paved path. There were also a few half-finished handmade racks, all exuding a serene, rustic charm, low-key yet luxurious. It matched the image of an elderly opera master like Jimmy perfectly,

Seeing the scenes in the courtyard through the live stream made people feel even more respectful towards Jimmy,

Even though they knew about Jimmy from the introductions, opera just didn't interest the younger generation anymore. They might think it's impressive, but given the choice between learning opera and watching dramas, anime, variety shows, or videos on TikTok, they would choose the Luster

Once inside, Jimmy sat on a bamboo chair he had made himself and said. "So, what do you want? Let me make it clear, I don't want to get involved in your show

Selina nodded and said. "Of course. We just need to borrow some props from the

e small warehouse. Lydia and I will handle the rest.

Jimmy remained silent. He glanced at the camera, then sighed. "In this era, not many people are interested anymore,"

The operatic singing style hardly appeals to the youth today, aside from the older generation. Jimmy was reluctant to admit it, but the reality was harsh, and he had no choice but to face it

Just then, Daniel's voice came through the walkie-talkie, "The show's original intent is to use this platform to promote traditional Clusian culture, I cant deny what Mr. Parker said, and I know the tide of the times is fast, with many old things being replaced. But someone still has to do it. As long as there's still someone who likes it, why not perform Doing something is better than doing nothing. Selina is right. Mr. Parker, this season of our show as focused on promoting traditional Clusian culture. With the development of culture, economy, and enlightenment, more and more people are starting to value the glory of Clusia's past, striving to protect it from being lost to history. If you're willing to cooperate with our show, I believe it will be a win-win situation for everyone.

Daniel spoke sincerely, without overly embellishing his intentions. Someone of Jimmy's stature could easily see through him. However, doing this would also bench Jimmy, as he could use the platform to promote opera

Those who loved it, loved it, and those who didn't, didn't, Wasting away with time was no match for seizing every opportunity to try.
