152: Chapter 152 The performance begins, and crisis emerges.

"Heh, doesn't Chen Feng know that among the teachers attending the gala today is Teacher Gu from the Art Department? She holds the title of the Guzheng Queen, you know."

"And her signature piece is 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'!"

"This Chen Feng really has a death wish, daring to perform the Guzheng in front of Teacher Gu!"

"Hahaha, this time he's going to embarrass himself in front of the entire senior class!"

While a group of people mocked Chen Feng for being an idiot, another group had a different opinion.

"Although that kid Chen Feng is a scumbag, he isn't stupid, right? If he clearly doesn't know how to play the Guzheng, why would he insist on performing it, and even choose the highly difficult 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'?"

"Yeah, if he really wanted to change the program, he could have done it even a minute before it started. That kid might have other motives!"

"Exactly, exactly! Chen Feng is not only a scumbag, but he's also very sinister."

"I suspect he definitely knows a little bit of Guzheng, and maybe he can even play 'High Mountains and Flowing Water' a little. He probably volunteered to perform just to hit on Teacher Gu!"

Once reminded, the others immediately realized it.

Their gazes suddenly turned toward Teacher Gu in the front row.

She was only a few years older than them, very pretty, and possessed a classical beauty.

She had a slim figure and flowing long hair.

Among the female teachers, she was also one of the best-looking.

"Look, the Guzheng in Chen Feng's hands seems to be Teacher Gu's!"

"Holy crap, it really is!"

"Damn, this kid's schemes are too deep. We thought he just wanted to perform to show off, but it turns out he's already started picking up girls."

"Think about it, he had to meet her once to borrow the Guzheng, and he has to meet her again to return it."

"If he plays well on stage, he'll definitely win Teacher Gu's favor."

"If he plays poorly, he'll have even more chances to get close to Teacher Gu, under the guise of asking for advice."

"Holy crap, he's really calculated this well!"

"No wonder Chen Feng has hooked up with one beautiful school belle after another, while we haven't even managed to get one."

"This is the gap!"

At this moment,

even Zhao Donglai beside them felt that what they were saying was true!

Damn it!

Did I make a mistake by helping him sign up for the Guzheng performance?

Meanwhile,

Chen Feng didn't know that the Guzheng had been borrowed from Teacher Gu.

After he set the Guzheng down,

he gently plucked the strings.

"Zheng!"

A harsh, unpleasant sound rang out.

Teacher Gu, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly frowned.

The technique and intonation...

It was obvious he wasn't someone who knew how to play the Guzheng.

She couldn't help but shake her head.

If Teacher Jin hadn't come to her to borrow the Guzheng earlier, she would never have lent it out.

The audience below erupted into laughter.

"Holy crap, is this guy here to be a clown?!"

"If the opening act is ruined, we're in for a real show!"

"Exactly! That technique looks so unprofessional. Even a layman like me knows that you need to wear finger picks when playing the Guzheng to protect your fingers from injury!"

"..."

Zhao Donglai, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness!

This kid probably doesn't know how to play the Guzheng!

Especially when he saw the unpleasant expression on Teacher Gu's face, he felt even happier.

With skills like that, you still want to pick up girls?!

Pfft!

In the crowd, Shang Yanyan frowned tightly.

Her small hands gripped the corner of her clothes tightly. She was worried that Chen Feng would completely ruin his reputation at school because of this performance.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for redeeming Master-level Guzheng skills, deducting 400 System Points.]

[Host's current remaining System Points: 5500.]

Chen Feng tapped directly into the void.

Instantly mastering the Guzheng skill!

"Zheng!"

This time,

his posture underwent an earth-shattering change, and even his aura seemed to resonate with the sound of the instrument.

"This is..."

Teacher Gu in front trembled slightly.

The laughter below suddenly stopped, and the entire auditorium was filled with that sound.

"Zheng! Zheng!"

Chen Feng's hand movements gradually accelerated.

Becoming more and more proficient.

He felt as if he had played this piece thousands of times, and every note was firmly etched in his mind.

His speed increased faster and faster.

His fingers turned into blurs.

The sound rose steadily, majestic and breathtaking!

His music seemed to transport everyone into a wondrous scene.

Before their eyes were majestic high mountains and waterfalls cascading down...

The laughter directed at Chen Feng in the entire auditorium not only vanished, but even the sound of talking disappeared.

Everyone was immersed in this scene.

After a long while,

the song ended.

The crowd suddenly came back to their senses.

"I am not as good as him!"

Teacher Gu was incredibly shocked.

Even she,

could not achieve such an effect.

She had practiced the Guzheng since she was a child, especially the piece 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'.

She played it at least ten times a day, which was 3,650 times a year.

She had played it for ten years!

Yet she had never been able to reach this realm!

Unity of person and instrument!

The rest of the people were equally dumbfounded.

Their faces full of shock!

Even if they didn't understand the Guzheng, they could at least tell who was playing well and who was playing poorly.

The entire auditorium fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared at Chen Feng, dumbfounded.

After a period of silence,

an uproar erupted once again.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Just now I felt like I saw mountains before my eyes, that was really eerie!"

"Exactly, I even faintly heard the sound of flowing water!"

"Damn, why do I feel like you guys are talking about something dirty!"

"..."

Below the stage,

Counselor Jin Tian also had her mouth wide open.

She originally had no hope for Chen Feng, but she didn't expect him to actually know how to play the Guzheng, and his ability was not just average—it was even better than Teacher Gu's!

Shang Yanyan was even more shocked.

The longer she interacted with Chen Feng, the more she discovered he had more and more virtues.

In the crowd,

Zhao Donglai widened his eyes.

Especially when he saw all the girls around him looking at the figure on the stage with glowing eyes, his expression changed again and again.

That son of a bitch Chen Feng!

He actually knows how to play the damn Guzheng.

Now it's done for.

Not only were all the girls on the scene captivated by him,

but even Teacher Gu had fallen for him!

Zhao Donglai originally wanted to make Chen Feng make a fool of himself.

But as a result,

the guy stole the spotlight once again, and he even did it in front of the entire school's teachers and students!

I was too reckless!

In the entire venue, it seemed that only Principal Wu's brows remained furrowed.

Because,

from the moment Chen Feng stepped onto the stage,

he seemed to notice that the War Department members hidden in the crowd had become very nervous, their gazes fixed tightly on the stage, as if they were secretly protecting Chen Feng.

Especially since Principal Wu's eyelid kept twitching uncontrollably.

Giving him an uneasy feeling!

Sure enough!

Just as Chen Feng was preparing to step off the stage, an incident occurred.

(Let me take a break first, let's see if I can write another chapter before 12 o'clock.)
