Xu Hongzhuang saw her stepmother acting like this and stopped teasing her.

After all, Su Wanqiu had always been very good to them in the past.

Su Wanqiu was very virtuous, and in no time at all, she had prepared a large table of dishes.

Xu Hao happened to return at this moment.

During dinner, Xu Hongzhuang opened her mouth, hesitating to speak.

She wanted to ask Xu Hao to teach her the Piano.

However, she was afraid that Xu Hao would not agree, so she had lingering concerns.

Xu Shiqing observed her expressions.

Seeing her third sister, who was usually always so dignified, acting like this, she found it amusing inside.

Play is play, and joking is joking, but pulling the third sister into the family was no joke.

Seeing how anxious she looked from her conflicted state, Xu Shiqing spoke up for her.

"Dad, Third Sister wants to learn the Piano from you…"

"Oh?"

Xu Hao had anticipated all of this long ago.

Yet he still looked at Xu Hongzhuang with feigned confusion.

Xu Hongzhuang rolled her eyes at her younger sister, secretly blaming her for talking too much.

Meeting Xu Hao's confused gaze, Xu Hongzhuang spoke up.

"As long as you teach me the Piano, I can accept whatever compensation you want…"

Xu Hongzhuang did not want to accept Xu Hao's charity.

She would just consider it hiring a teacher for herself with compensatory payment.

Thinking about it this way made her feel much more at ease.

She would accept any compensation?

Xu Hao's expression turned strange, a triumphant smile appearing on his face.

"Alright then, since Hongzhuang wants to learn, I will teach her."

Hearing this, Xu Hongzhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good enough that she wasn't rejected.

The family quickly finished their meal.

Su Wanqiu went to clear away the bowls and chopsticks, and Xu Hao first followed the twin sisters to check their homework.

After giving them a little guidance, he came to the study together with his third daughter, Xu Hongzhuang.

Being alone in a room with Xu Hao, Xu Hongzhuang felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Sitting in front of the Piano, she looked at Xu Hao with confusion.

She didn't know how he was going to teach her.

"Before teaching you, I need to understand your current level first. Just play a piece for me to listen to."

Xu Hongzhuang felt she couldn't let Xu Hao look down on her, so she played the piece she was best at.

"Your skill level is already quite good, but you haven't grasped the key points yet, blah blah, gibberish, aba aba…"

Xu Hao's Piano skills were at the Grandmaster level; teaching someone was simply a piece of cake, wasn't it?

Xu Hongzhuang gradually became engrossed in listening.

When she came back to her senses, she still felt a bit unsatisfied.

"Alright, talking so much is useless. First, try playing another piece according to what I said."

Ting-ting dong-dong…

Xu Hongzhuang's fingers flew across the keys, and the sound of the Piano being played drifted out.

She felt that it was much better than before.

However, she was still a bit lacking from making a Breakthrough past the Bottleneck.

Just as Xu Hongzhuang was frowning and deep in thought, a person suddenly pressed against her back.

Then, both of her hands were grabbed.

Just as Xu Hongzhuang wanted to break free, Xu Hao's voice came from beside her ear.

"That's not right… You should do it like this…"

Xu Hao just like that grabbed her hands, dancing across the Piano keys.

The Piano music played instantly changed.

It was precisely that feeling of a Breakthrough.

Xu Hongzhuang's eyes lit up, and the anger she was about to flare up was forcefully suppressed back down by her.

She no longer resisted.

The corners of Xu Hao's mouth curled upwards.

Hah, no matter who you are, you have to submit to my routines.

After discovering that it was indeed effective, Xu Hongzhuang began to feel Xu Hao's rhythm, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

She finally found the feeling of making a Breakthrough past the Piano Bottleneck.

After she became familiar with it, Xu Hao slowly let go of his hands.

Xu Hongzhuang was still able to play it fluently on her own.

After playing a piece, Xu Hongzhuang felt unsatisfied, her heart churning with stormy waves.

Previously, no matter how she searched for a Breakthrough point, she couldn't find one.

Xu Hao had only taught her hand-in-hand for a bit, and she had already learned it.

Xu Hongzhuang decided to try another piece.

But as soon as she started, that feeling was gone again.

She looked eagerly at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao did not disappoint her either, conducting hand-in-hand teaching once again.

Just as the two of them were one teaching earnestly and the other learning earnestly,

they didn't notice—

The study door was pushed open a crack.

Two little heads poked out.

No… or rather, Xu Hongzhuang didn't notice.

Xu Hao had long since heard the sound of his two daughters arriving.

After Xu Hao's several rounds of hand-in-hand teaching, Xu Hongzhuang finally got used to this feeling.

Later on, even without Xu Hao's help, she could play it completely.

"I've learned it."

A look of joy appeared on Xu Hongzhuang's face.

"Third Sister, congratulations. After learning for less than an hour, you've made such a huge Breakthrough."

"Yeah, Third Sister, congratulations, congratulations."

The twin sisters, Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi, jumped out.

While their mouths were saying congratulations, their faces wore teasing expressions.

Xu Hongzhuang's expression froze.

Were all those hand-in-hand teaching scenes just now seen by her two younger sisters?

Her face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

She felt extremely awkward and wished she could find a hole to hide in.

After all, previously when she saw Xu Hao teaching the two younger sisters hand-in-hand, she had even stepped forward to stop it.

The Dragon slayer ultimately became the evil Dragon?

On this side, the family was happy and harmonious.

Meanwhile, in the slums, it was a completely different scene.

The sounds of slaughter, shouting, and miserable screams merged into one.

This was the decisive battle between the Brothers Gang and the Alliance forces. The hot-tempered Fourth was killing with great zeal,

and with a single slash, he sent an Alliance lackey flying away.
