Chapter 112 Something happened
Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Nightingale took a sip of tea, stepped to the center of the stage, and began her performance, which ranged from ancient melodies to modern tunes.
From ballads to high-energy tracks, every song stirred the emotions within the audience, prompting shouts for an encore and a wish that the concert could last forever.
Of course, this was impossible. After singing more than ten songs, Nightingale said goodbye to her audience and explained the purpose of her performance, asking them to give her three days.
She wanted to take on apprentices, but not just anyone could be her apprentice. She explained her criteria for accepting apprentices and told them what she would do if she found a satisfactory one.
Every month, she will bring her newly accepted apprentices here to continue performing and test their abilities.
If she does not find a disciple, she will retire to the mountains and never return to public life.
How could those who had heard her sing tolerate this? They had previously heard the idiom "my voice lingers for three days" as an exaggeration.
Only now, with the lingering echo of the nightingale's song still ringing in their ears, did they realize that the ancients had spoken in declarative sentences, not in hyperbole.
After saying that, Nightingale left, leaving them bewildered. Later, when they realized they wanted to follow their idols, they didn't know where to go to find them!
There was no other way! The entire nation had to mobilize to find someone suitable to be the nightingale's apprentice. Some even went so far as to record the nightingale singing and pay out of their own pockets to have it broadcast on television.
It didn't air until it was broadcast, and once it did, it became an instant hit—no, it exploded in popularity!
The nationwide singing competition on Hunan TV this year was a huge hit, and the excitement hadn't faded yet; the people of China were still immersed in the music.
In this era where everyone is into music, the release of this audio clip of Nightingale has driven them into a frenzy.
At the same time, many people questioned whether it was an electronically synthesized voice, not a human voice, just like the Hatsune Miku era.
While waiting for Nightingale to select her apprentice, many musical talents attempted to recreate and perform Nightingale's songs, but all ended in failure.
After all, the nightingale's song range is too wide, spanning several gradients. It can sing at many gradients within a certain range, but it can't sing at the next gradient.
Being able to sing even one of the Nightingale's songs is considered to be among the top tier in the music industry, and it's even more unexpected that the Nightingale's songs have spread overseas.
They all praised her singing voice as that of a siren, and at the end of the recording, it was translated and used to recruit students.
Many international superstars have expressed a desire to learn from this recording, but it's not a human voice, and many abroad believe it's electronically synthesized.
The people of Daxia, however, believed it was better to err on the side of caution and embarked on a journey to find the nightingale, eventually arriving at Longyuan Town.
The day Nightingale recruited students, there were an unusually large number of people, mostly from China, but surprisingly, there were also some from South Korea and Japan mixed in.
Because so many people wanted to join Nightingale's ranks, and Nightingale insisted on selecting them herself, it took a full 10 days to complete the selection process.
Of all the people, only six were chosen by Nightingale. Looking at the nearly 100,000 applicants, Yufei felt incredibly lucky to have been selected by Junlin Space.
That's why Nightingale taught her unconditionally. It's just that her own abilities were too poor to deserve Nightingale's guidance. After the selection process, everyone who came to register received a notification from the Dragon Abyss receptionist.
Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in this selection. To express our gratitude for everyone's journey from afar, Nightingale is preparing a concert tonight.
Those who weren't selected were incredibly excited. They'd all come with skepticism, hoping for the best, but they never expected that the person who was supposed to sing during the recording would actually do it!
Everyone was eager to see if the legendary voice was real! That evening, many people brought recording equipment, and even the staff at Hunan TV received news that Nightingale was going to sing.
Having rushed over overnight, she secured an excellent spot thanks to her relationship with Yufei, ready to broadcast the entire concert live.
And with an urgent premonition, the Nightingale once again stood center stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd and began to sing. People watching on television commented that her singing was even more beautiful than the recording.
The recording quality also limited Nightingale's performance.
"Director! The ratings have broken 4!" Those watching the live stream excitedly told Director Yang.
When the nightingale began to sing, Yang Yong'an knew something explosive was about to happen, so he calmly enjoyed the nightingale's song.
The concert concluded with a lullaby sung by the Nightingale, a song she urged everyone in the audience to leave, as she sang it to the entire town of Longyuan using her open-air voice.
Yang Yong'an also broadcast the song live to the entire Great Xia, and everyone in Great Xia who listened to it that day fell into a deep sleep.
This song was also included in the Great Xia Song Collection by the Great Xia government, but ordinary people dared not try it easily; it was used to treat insomnia.
She is now keeping her promise and holding a concert every month at the Longyuan Town Sports Center, with tickets for every show being extremely difficult to obtain.
Today, Zhao Lina and Yuanzi were lucky enough to be with Yufei and her group. Yufei led them through the back door to a secluded corner to enjoy Nightingale and her apprentice's performance.
Although they were a bit far away, she could still hear it clearly. Yuanzi looked completely captivated, and when Nightingale's apprentice came out, she looked on with envy.
"I really want to be Nightingale-sensei's apprentice! It would be so wonderful to be taught by Nightingale-sensei!" Yuanzi said dreamily, her eyes filled with longing.
"You love singing and think you're alright, why don't you give it a try? Nightingale teacher is still recruiting students," Yufei said to Sonoko while listening to the song.
"...I'm tone-deaf," Sonoko said, her mood dropping slightly before adding self-deprecatingly.
...Just like her, there's nothing she can do about it either. Yufei glanced at Yuanzi with pity.
Around 10 PM, the concert ended, and Yufei took the exchange students she had hosted back to the school, escorting them to their dormitories.
They then went back to their respective homes to find their mothers.
A dreamless night! Longyuan Town slept soundly to the nightingale's lullaby.
The next day, Yufei heard a commotion outside. Jiang Huai'an hurriedly knocked on Yufei's door.
"Yufei! Something's happened! Come with me!" He said this and hurriedly left. Yufei followed Jiang Huai'an towards Longyuan Town High School.
Yufei wondered to herself, "Could something have happened at school since I disappeared for so many nights? A murder? No way! She's always been very attentive to students' mental health. A fire? And that can't be either; she's always had excellent safety measures in place."
Yufei felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it, so she quickened her pace to see what had happened.
The school was quiet, the gates were tightly closed, and then Jiang Huai'an and his group quietly entered after explaining their purpose to the security guard.
Judging from the situation, it's not one of the scenarios Yufei was thinking of.
"Uncle, what happened?" Once inside the school, Yufei didn't want to speculate and asked Jiang Huai'an directly.
