Chapter 530: 122: Conquest_7

Zhang Xianxian sat beside her mother, squinting at Lin Wu on the stage.

Just wait.

The show is about to begin.

Wei Nan’s gaze was tightly fixed on Lin Wu’s face, and then turned to look at Zhang Xianxian, lowering her voice and said, "Xianxian, is, is this the little bastard?"

"Mhm." Zhang Xianxian nodded slightly.

Wei Nan frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion, "Why do I feel... she seems a little different from that night?"

The Lin Wu on the stage was beautiful and graceful, confident, and flashy, even more like a young lady than Zhang Xianxian, the legitimate lady herself!

It was a stark contrast to the pitiful little country girl from the other night.

No.

This definitely couldn’t be Lin Wu.

But the face was still the same face, so what exactly was amiss?

At the thought, Wei Nan furrowed her brow tightly, and for some reason, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

For some reason.

She always felt that this country bumpkin, whom she had never taken seriously from the start, would one day climb over her daughter’s head.

Zhang Xianxian patted Wei Nan’s hand, seemingly noticing the worry in Wei Nan’s eyes, and spoke with a gentle tone, "Mom, don’t worry, no matter how much this little bastard jumps around, she can’t escape from your daughter’s palm."

Not only had she been reborn, but she also had the System’s help.

What did Lin Wu have?

Even if she had a System, she couldn’t hope to compete against me!

Lin Wu could only ever be a stepping stone for her in this life.

Wei Nan nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Zhang Xianxian’s face, and nodded faintly, "Good."

Her daughter was considered the number one talented lady of the city, not only beautiful but also possessing a strong business acumen, bound to become a superior person one day.

Not to mention Qing City.

Even Capital City would eventually become her daughter’s domain if she wanted it to be.

At this thought, a gleam flickered through the depths of Wei Nan’s eyes.

It was at this moment that Lin Wu walked to the piano and sat down, her white hands on the keys, beginning to play.

She used a very complex fingering technique, both fast and precise, her fingers dancing to produce different tones, sketching out a beautiful scenario on the black and white keys.

And yet, not only was she fast, but the sound quality was also very pleasant, causing every corner of the tiered classroom to swirl with enchanting notes.

"It’s so nice to listen to."

"I never expected Lin Wu to really have some skills."

"She seems even better than Zhang Xianxian!"

"Lin Wu is really an undiscovered gem!"

Qiao Ran was immediately stunned.

Although he had guessed that Lin Wu would definitely play the piano, he hadn’t expected her to play so well.

Such proficiency must have taken at least twenty years of practice, right?

But how old was she this year?

With that thought, Qiao Ran couldn’t help but look up at Lin Wu.

From his angle, he could just see Lin Wu’s profile, as well as her hands on the black and white keys.

Lin Wu’s hands were beautiful, slender and long, with skin like cream, born to be an artist’s hands.

At this moment, Qiao Ran suddenly realized that there was something familiar about this piano-playing technique.

It was like...

Suddenly, Qiao Ran thought of a piece shown to him by his piano teacher a week ago, played by a renowned piano master.

The style was very similar, even some of the small details handled in the middle were exactly the same.

Hearing this, Qiao Ran couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

And while Qiao Ran was listening intently,

"Clang!"

A disharmonious sound burst from the piano, and the music came to an abrupt stop.

In an instant, the air quieted down, and everyone’s eyes fell on Lin Wu.

A second later, people started whispering to each other.

"Why has she stopped playing?"

"What happened?"

"It must be because she can’t play as well as Zhang Xianxian in the later part, afraid of embarrassing herself, so she dare not play anymore."

"Could she have forgotten how to play?"

"..."

Xue Jinghao was the first to realize something was amiss and turned to look at Lu Ye, "Third Brother, what should we do? Should we help Sister Lin?"

Lu Ye’s phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly, "Don’t panic, the kid will handle it herself."

Handle it herself?

Upon hearing this, Xue Jinghao furrowed his brow subtly.

It was clear that the piano was malfunctioning. How could Lin Wu solve this by herself?

Despite the murmuring of the crowd, Lin Wu maintained her calm demeanor, showing no signs of panic or fear, her gaze indifferently resting on the piano keys.

It was obvious without thinking: someone had tampered with the piano, and the person behind the scene had a clear intent—to see her humiliate herself.

However...

They seemed to have oversimplified their thinking.

Lin Wu stood up from the stool in front of the piano and walked to the very front of the stage, her eyes landing on the suona that the orchestra members in the first row had brought, "Hello, may I borrow the suona for a moment?"

The person was taken aback, then nodded and handed Lin Wu the suona, "Yes, you can."

"Thank you." Lin Wu took the suona and, before the host could react, she continued, "I’m sorry everyone, the piano has a slight problem, and ’Castle in the Sky’ can’t continue. Let me play the suona for you all."

Suona?

Upon hearing this, the crowd stirred with discussion again.

Suona?

What kind of music is the suona?

Most importantly, it was impossible to perform a solo on the suona.

Zhang Xianxian scoffed, "Lin Wu really has been living in the countryside for too long!"

Compared to the elegant piano, the sound of the suona was downright vulgar.

The piano is an international instrument.

What is the suona?

It hadn’t even made its way out of the country.

"Lin Wu has really gone mad!"

"I heard that in their countryside the suona is only played for the dead."

"She’s actually going to play the suona, no wonder everyone says Lin Wu is an illegitimate daughter unfit for the public eye..."

"What kind of instrument is the suona anyway?"

"Lin Wu, get off the stage!"

After that voice spoke out, the crowd began chanting together, "Get off the stage! Get off the stage!"

Zhang Xianxian curled her lips slightly, her eyes brimming with smugness.

If she were Lin Wu, she would have found a hole to crawl into already, with no face left to stand on the stage.

Sun Shanshan felt incredibly delighted on the side.

This was instant karma!

She was curious to see how Lin Wu would turn things around this time.

As more and more people clamored for Lin Wu to get off the stage, her face remained expressionless. She simply picked up the suona and began to play as if no one else was there.

Very soon.

The passionate and powerful music drowned out the heckling.

As the suona’s sound grew louder and the tune more familiar, it eventually transformed into something that lifted everyone’s spirits!

It was somewhat fiery.

And somewhat blood-stirring.

Even the students who didn’t understand music stood up from their chairs, swayed by the rhythm, "Why does this music sound so familiar?"

"It sounds so good!"

"Ah, my God, I’m getting goosebumps!"

"It’s ’The Wide and Broad Road to Heaven’!"

"School Beauty Lin is awesome!"

When the melody reached its climax, it electrified the entire audience, and almost everyone began singing along, "I’ve encountered difficulty, tasted bitterness, but I’ve walked out a wide and broad road to heaven..."

"Ah, School Beauty Lin is forever my idol!"

"I’m going to cry!"

No one expected Lin Wu to play the suona so well.

She proved with her actions that the suona was not some vulgar instrument, and with her superior skill informed the crowd what it means to be a true musician!

Even after the performance ended, the students lingered in the afterglow.

Then came a deafening round of applause, wave after wave.

Lin Wu put away the suona and scanned the faces of everyone, "There is high and low in appreciation, but not in intention. There is no high or low, no noble or humble among instruments! Thank you all for your liking, and finally, I wish that everyone can walk out a wide and broad road to heaven."
