Hao Ren ca back stage and the students clapped for him. He smiled and a ssage echoed in his mind, *Ding: Host, congratulations for completing the task. You are rewarded with the wealth sign in feature. For every day that you sign in, you will get relevant rewards. The orientation of the place will change the reward you get.*
Hao Ren raised his brow in surprise but then he calm down, as Han Lingshi ca over to his side, and said, "Marvelous song, Ren. Congratulations."
Hao Ren smiled and bowed slightly to her as he said, "Thank you, Lingshi."
Ye Yue directly pulled the young man in a embrace. The people were shocked, but Han Lingshi frowned slightly and acted to cough. Ye Yue woke up from her excited state and hurriedly pulled herself away and said, "Hao Ren, you are the best musician ever. If you want to enter the circle of the stars, tell , I can help you."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "My dream lies sowhere else, Miss Ye."
Ye Yue did not insist and said, "Alright everyone, let us get on the stage and greet the audience one last ti before wrapping it up and get back ho."
The people nodded and the Host began to call for credits. Hao Ren looked at Han Lingshi who stood in the back, and waited until everyone was gone to approach her. He asked, "Lingshi, don't you have anything to say? For example, if I played well."
Han Lingshi looked at him with her watery eyes and took a deep breath before she said, "Hao Ren, I never said this, but that day when we chased Dwight, I felt alive. When I eat the food you make, I feel alive. I have always wanted to thank you for all these things."
Hao Ren raised his hand and asked, "Why does it feel like a goodbye?"
Han Lingshi was surprised and she saw him looking anxious. She chuckled and lightly pushed him on the shoulder as she said, "What is wrong with you? Why would I say goodbye? I am just very grateful and I would like to officially as you to be my friend."
Hao Ren put his hand on his chest. For so reason, he sensed his heart beating faster than usual. It was probably because of Han Lingshi's smile. The young man let out a sigh and cald down before he nodded and said, "I will be honored."
The two people shook hands. Hao Ren could not explain what it felt like to hold the fair jade like hand in his grip. It seed as if Han Lingshi did not have any bones in her hand. The handshake was brief, and Han Lingshi said, "They are all on the stage, and might be probably waiting for you to join them. Hurry up."
Hao Ren nodded and with a silly grin he left the place quickly. Han Lingshi watched his back vanishing behind the other side of the pantomi, and her ears turned red. She looked around hurriedly before covering her face and sighed, "Heavens, what am I thinking about." Continue your saga on empire
Although she maintained a calm facade, her heart was almost popping out of her mouth.
On the stage, the Host called credits and the people ca forward to bow to the audience. In Hao Ren's mind, a voice sounded, *Ding: Host you have completed the task, your musical skills will be upgraded from illusion, and integrated with your sword skills. If you play the music now, you would be able to slay people with the sound blades. Please prepare yourself for the integration.*
Hao Ren was prepared, but the flooding information made his eyes sting and made them watery. The host and the rest of the people looked at him and thought that Hao Ren was feeling emotional because of the reception and the applause of the people.
Ye Yue looked at the people next to him, and gave said lightly, "Bring him to the front."
Hao Ren had cald down a little but he was still dazed to co forward and when Ye Yue stood beside him, she said, "On three, bow."
Everyone nodded, and after the count everyone bowed, but Hao Ren was looking around in a daze, and quickly recovered to bow to the audience, who were all amused and clapped for the people. The night ca to an end, and everyone went ho.
However, two houses had two different debates going on.
...
Han Lingshi was sitting at the dining table next to his Grandma, while her father sat on the other side of the table. Han Ming frowned and asked, "Did you not understand when I told you to stay away from that kid?"
Han Lingshi did not bother to reply and kept on eating her food. Han Ming was an impatient man, and he yelled, "Did you not hear talking to you, Han Lingshi?"
Han Lingshi still did not bother but the old lady, Gao Yue, looked at her son and asked, "Have you forgotten your manners? How dare you raise your voice in my house?"
Han Ming was imdiately cald down and he told the old lady what happened in the school event. Gao Yue looked at Han Lingshi and asked, "Lingling, what is going on?"
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "We sit together, he is an excellent student, and is very skilled as well. Father is making an issue out of it unnecessarily. Is it a cri to make friends with him?"
Han Ming retorted, "Yes, he is unworthy of your friendship."
Han Lingshi scoffed and said, "Grandma, that boy cos from a humble family, he entered the school through his own effort. He is studying in the school for free. He is skilled at martial arts and can defeat our teacher, at the sa ti, he just played the music you heard. Do you think it would be bad for to be friends with soone? How is he unworthy?"
Han Ming snorted and said, "Does he have even a penny to his na? How is he even worthy to sit next to you?"
Gao Yue looked at her son coldly and said, "Everything you have is given to you by and your father. So do not forget that you were also nothing without us. The money and the fa that you hold so dear is a fleeting thing, and you never know what soone is capable of. So, Han Ming, you better get down your high horse, if I find that you are still acting like a god forsaken snob, I will see you disciplined according to the family laws. As for Lingshi, she will live with us old people from now on. You will not intercede in her upbringing."
Han Ming wanted to say sothing when the old man sitting next to him placed the chopsticks down and said, "Xiao Ming, you need to recall where we ca from. Now, eat in silence."
Old Master Han was still the tiger in the house and Han Ming beca the cub.
...
Ron Yuan was clenching his fists as he knelt before an old man. Even his parents, who were trustees on the board were praising Hao Ren's skill of adaptation. The old man said, "Prodigal thing, you dared to bring sha to our na because of a petty thing like jealousy."
Ron Yuan did not say anything, but the old man looked at the middle-aged man kneeling next to Ron and said, "You, Renshi Yuan, are such a failure as a father. How dare you pamper this brat so much that he even had the audacity to act like this? Did you all not learn your lesson from the Ion kid? Have you lost your nuts?"
As he said this, the old man slamd his palm onto the armrest of the couch and turned it to dust. Yes, this old man was not normal. Ron Yuan said, "It is all fault of that bastard Hao Ren. I had nothing to do with it."
The old man roared, "Silence!"
The two people fell silent and the entire place shivered. The old man looked at the butler on the side and said, "Go, call that kid over. I want to et him."
The old man bowed and left the place.
