Chapter 73 Part 1:

*Bang head on keyboard* ………………….. another close to 11K chapter. Ganbatte! Fighting!

If this song was likened to a play, perhaps everyone would be angry and frightened due to the performance of the actors or due to the sorrow and happiness of the play itself. After all, it would involve people’s state of mind. In the circumstances where everyone was all immersed in the drama then suddenly saw a sober person, it would make a person astonished.

Jiang Li stared at that pair of beautiful phoenix eyes and for a moment, couldn’t figure out the mood contained in those eyes.  Only feeling slightly cold in her chest as if almost being seen through. 

That temperamental beauty, Duke Su, was sizing her up. Probably still trying to discover her secret. 

Jiang Li lowered her eyes, covering up the myriad emotions in her heart and saluted towards the audience. She had finished playing.

Everyone was dumbstruck, looking at her. 

Momentarily, all those ridicules, sneers, disdain and even abuse came to an end. If Jiang Li getting first place in the previous three exams was hard to convince the people, that was because it wasn’t conducted in front of everyone. Now those people who were questioning her also had nothing to say.

The one playing on the stage was precisely the genuine Jiang second miss.

Among the examiners, that happy little old man Mian Ju called out first: “Young girl, who taught you how to play the qin?” 

A noble daughter from the chief assistant’s family was called “young girl”, was somewhat rude. However, this person was precisely Hong Xiao emperor’s most favorite court musician. Jiang Yuan Bai also gave him face and no one would actually say anything.  

Mian Ju’s question broke everyone’s daze. Indeed, everyone saw Jiang Li’s guqin skill. The finger technique was proficient, unlike a person who just touched guqin for the first time. By her performance, it’s very likely that she had learned for many years. But there wasn’t a musician in the nunnery, could an expert have come from somewhere? One who hid from the secular world.

Jiang Li took a glance at Mian Ju’s glistening eyes and immediately understood what Mian Ju was thinking in his mind. She might as well took advantage of the situation and said: “Master has already travelled the far distance…….”

Ho, as expected, there’s an expert giving direction!

Mian Ju nearly unable to hold back and rushed forward, repeatedly asking: “What’s your teacher’s name? Where does he live? Where did he go to? How to find him?”

Jiang Li glanced at him embarrassedly and vaguely said: “This student also doesn’t know…….”

Hearing this, Mian Ju was at first feeling anxious. But suddenly recalled something and sighed: “Never mind, never mind, probably this expert also does not wish to reveal their own whereabouts. A free life like the wind, how would he be willing to get tired because of the vulgar world.” He again looked at Jiang Li and opened his mouth with a bit of envy: “You, this young girl actually have very good luck. Such a young age, yet was able to get directions from this kind of expert. It won’t be exhausted in this lifetime. Why didn’t I have such good luck? Ay!”

Jiang Li didn’t know whether to laugh or cry upon seeing his moaning and groaning. However, Mian Ju’s words made the other people puzzled.

All the people talked about this.

“As it turns out, Jiang second miss received the directions from an expert. No wonder she played this well. I think compared to Jiang third miss just now, her skill is higher?”

“Isn’t that so? Didn’t teacher Mian Ju say, able to be admitted by teacher Mian Ju as an expert, naturally very good. Jiang second miss was taught by an expert, how could other people compare?” 

“Jiang second miss is really lucky, perhaps in the future she could be a musician. Look at teacher Mian Ju’s appearance, this has the mind of raising talented people ah.” 

“Pooh, not being a proper chief assistant noble daughter but going to be a musician? Is Jiang second miss sick?”

The discussion by his ear from then up till now seemed to be changed 180 degrees at once. Ye Shijie was stunned by this abrupt change. After thinking about it, he couldn’t help laughing in spite of himself. 

From the beginning, he couldn’t help worrying about Jiang Li. But he faintly feel, perhaps Jiang Li had her own method.
