Chapter 0174 Redeeming the reward

Translator: Yorasu | Editor: Fireclaws

Early morning in Jianghe City, it was unusually quiet.

It was now near the end of October and reaching late autumn.

Only at a Western villa, it was crowded with people. They were all trying to offer gifts or money just to get a chance to see Master Feng.

This was the home of pianist Master Feng.

Despite the crowd, only a few people managed to pass the assessment and were led in to see Master Feng, leaving the rest of the crowd to sigh helplessly. But at this time, a young man went to the door and was greeted by the Feng family’s housekeeper personally. This scene made everyone dumbfounded.

“Who is this man?”

“Don’t know, but he is someone who the housekeeper personally came out to greet and escort him in! For my son, I had to save a lot of money for a few months just to get a slot for the assessment to be Master Feng’s disciple. Whether he can pass or not is still an uncertainty!”

“It must be some rich kid who got in through a backdoor.”

“Sigh, let's not mention something like that.”

Listening to the words, Su Hao faintly smiled and followed behind the housekeeper.

As the housekeeper was leading him, Su Hao suddenly frowned. The route didn’t seem… right.

The villas in Jianghe City generally had similar layouts.

When Su Hao was studying building models, he acquired some understanding about this. Thus, despite being surrounded by tall trees and not being able to see the surrounding roads, he clearly understood that the housekeeper was not leading him to the guest hall but the west side of the villa.

Su Hao didn’t utter a word, but rather silently memorized the route into his mind

“Mr. Su, it is here.”

The housekeeper said in a polite manner while pointing in front of them, “This is where master and the students train. It’s the private concert hall of Feng family. Occasionally, there would be a small private party and master would perform here.”

“Oh?”

Su Hao had a closer look. This was a classroom, pretty similar to those music classrooms in Jianghe City, but the scale was a little larger. They must have built this on their own after because the original layout of the villa didn’t have this.

“Disciples?”

Su Hao caught on this word that was uttered by the housekeeper.

“En, just ordinary disciples.” The housekeeper laughed, “Master is looking forward to having his own successor. He will probably his successor from amongst them. Although they’re just disciples, many of them have already reached intermediate pianist level. It is your blessing to be able to come here.”

“Really?”

Su Hao smiled indifferently.

Opening the door of the concert hall, inside it was indeed a spacious training hall. The light yellow wooden floor was smooth and sparky. Countless tones of beautiful music came from the room, bringing a pleasant feeling to the ears.

There were about ten origin ability pianos in the room. Many people were listening carefully to the piano. There was only one person sitting in the middle and madly immersed in his playing. And not far away Master Feng was, sitting there, listening to his disciple’s performance.

As Su Hao came in, he didn’t attract the others attention.

Or to be more precise, they saw him but just ignored him since they were watching the performance of the person in the middle of the crowd.

Su Hao didn’t voice out and silently walked next to the crowd and had a look. Instantly he understood the situation in front of him now. Master Feng and his eight disciples...one of them was currently playing while Master Feng accessed him. Was this Master Feng’s assessment of his disciples’ training?

For a full ten minutes, this young man played before finally stopped while sweating heavily. He then bowed toward Master Feng.

Master Feng calmly opened his mouth, “You have quite a good grasp on the tone. The rhythm too is not bad. But your control of origin ability energy is still weak. Go back and train harder.”

“Yes, master.”

As the young man nodded and left the stage, another one came up.

Su Hao had a glance and instantly felt in a bad mood.

One come after another?

Watching the young man who finished just now walked back to his seat, Su Hao was stunned. The one who is now on stage was the second disciple? A total of eight disciples… playing until their origin ability energy was completely exhausted like the previous one? If one took about half an hour, then if a total of eight people were to perform…

F*ck that shit!

Su Hao’s eyes revealed an unpleasant look. Regardless of how Master Feng was thinking, he had, after all, risked his life to complete the task and was currently here to redeem the reward. And the result was this scene in front of him… are you trying to toy around with me?!

What he was lacking the most was time!
