After John and Jiang Yu finished all the preparations, 28 minutes had passed. It was only two minutes before the tour started.

"Don't be too nervous," John encouraged Jiang Yu.

John had held international tours like this many times, so he didn't have stage fright at all.

However, it was Jiang Yu's first time participating in such an international tour. Although she had participated in some large-scale competitions before, they were all in China. John was worried that Jiang Yu would have stage fright at such a scene.

However, Jiang Yu was completely calm and even comforted John, she said, "Don't worry. I've participated in some competitions before. Although the scene isn't as big as an international tour, it can still be considered a large-scale event. So you just need to rest assured."

Hearing Jiang Yu's tone, John didn't seem to be nervous. He nodded with relief and said, "That's good."

The tour this time was different from usual. John was supposed to play six songs by himself before ending the tour. However, today's tour was -- the first two songs were played by John, the next two songs were played by Jiang Yu, and the last two songs were played by Jiang Yu and John.

The audience did not know about this arrangement. They only knew that there was an additional person named Jiang Yu on the tour this time. They thought that she was just a little transparent who appeared on the poster with Master John by luck, so they did not take her to heart.

During the first two piano pieces, the fans below the stage were crazily waving colorful support sticks, but they were very unified and did not make any sound.

However, when it was Jiang Yu's turn to go on stage, the audience immediately stopped waving their glow sticks.

There were even people discussing below the stage, "Who is this person? It can't be that Jiang Yu, right?"

"She looks very similar to the photo, but it's too far away for me to see clearly."

"Let's see if the host will introduce her later, right?"

As they were discussing, the host announced Jiang Yu's identity. "Hello, everyone. This is the new participant of this tour -- Jiang Yu!"

There was no expected applause from the audience. Instead, there was an unexpected voice of doubt. "What do you mean? Are you planning to let her play the rest of the songs in Master John's Place?"

"Isn't she a little invisible? Can such a baffling person, who doesn't know her identity, also appear on such a stage and share the stage with Master John?"

"I don't think she has much strength, right? You guys didn't mention this matter when you started promoting her. Why did you suddenly arrange for her to appear on stage during the performance?"

"Aren't you deceiving the customers?"

Their voices of doubt grew louder and louder. Bessie, who was sitting in the middle, wanted to defend Jiang Yu, but she was alone and there was a group of people on the other side. She couldn't speak at all.

She could not even hear her own voice.

The scene was a little chaotic for a moment, and it was difficult for the emcee to wrap things up.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu took the microphone from the emcee's hand, she said, "I know that everyone has a lot of opinions about me, and I understand everyone's thoughts. So I hope that everyone can give me a chance to prove myself."

As she said that, she handed the microphone to the host and turned around to sit in front of the piano.

Although the audience still did not believe Jiang Yu, based on what Jiang Yu had just said, they had indeed restrained themselves a little and no longer whispered in the audience.

The first song that Jiang Yu played was John's original song from many years ago. It was relatively simple. When the audience heard it, they felt that Jiang Yu's strength was only so-so.

However, the second piece that Jiang Yu played was "Wild Horse Mane parting".

Jiang Yu had played this piece in Professor Karl's previous assessment. However, he had only played it for ten minutes. He had only played a rough introduction and a short beginning. Jiang Yu did not play the climax part in the middle and the ending part at the end.

On the stage of the tour today, Jiang Yu had played "Wild horse parting mane" from beginning to end.

The difficulty of this piece of music was well known in the piano industry. Even the audience below the stage knew that this piece of music was something that many professional pianists did not dare to try.

They did not expect that this "Little transparent" Jiang Yu would dare to play this piece of music in front of so many people.

The one who was most surprised was John, who was resting below the stage. This was because the second song that he had agreed to with Jiang Yu was not this song at all!

It was a song that Jiang Yu had changed the song at the last minute, and it was a song with a very high difficulty factor!
