Vol 2 Chapter 8.1 (2/2)

“Killing me, she said she is Chui Xiao1; you shouldn’t give this young boy failure and misery…”

Yin Zhu confusedly asked, “She’s going to give me failure and misery?”

The roar of laughter immediately increased in volume, numerous girls already bending over at the waist and laughing. Yin Zhu’s innocence couldn’t help but create a favorable impression among them. The first male student in the history of the Divine Music division was quite entertaining.

The short-haired girl realized her misspoken words. Immediately her charming face turned as red as Yin Zhu’s with shame. “You’re all dead…”

“Well, girls, come on. Are you not worried about frightening your future cla.s.smate? In the future, all of you will study together. There are plenty of chances for you to be together. Now follow me to register.” Bi Ji resisted smiling. She looked at this lively group of girls and couldn’t help but feel somewhat envious. Ten years ago, one couldn’t be like them, carefree and without worries.

Under Bi Ji’s guidance, the 12 new Divine Music division students, including Yin Zhu, exited the auditorium. Yin Zhu walked at the back and stared at these lively girls. His heart felt very comfortable as he thought to himself, ‘Apparently my future at the Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts will be pretty good!’

“h.e.l.lo.” By Yin Zhu’s side, a gentle and soft, somewhat timid voice chimed out. It was the girl who sat by Ye Yin Zhu previously, the girl in possession of the Jade Charm Zither. Her height barely reached Yin Zhu’s chest. Her blue clothing matched her azure eyes which were as gentle as a stream. Her soft aura reminded Yin Zhu of An Ya, only this girl was significantly more underdeveloped compared to An Ya.

Yin Zhu quickly replied, “h.e.l.lo, just now I borrowed your zither…”

The girl hastily interrupted him, “It doesn’t matter. Your zither playing is really good; oh, your singing is also good.”

“You heard?” Yin Zhu looked at the girl, amazed. Although he didn’t deliberately control his aura and magical strength, it was unlikely for those without a certain understanding of the zither song and decent spiritual power to hear his zither music.

The girl nodded, “Yes! But I only heard half of the first verse. After that, I can’t recall the rest. My mind was completely immersed in the cries of your zither and the guzheng. I remember, the zither and guzheng couldn’t perform music together. How did you accomplish that? Can you tell me? Oh, that’s right. You are called Ye Yin Zhu. I am called Lan Xi.”

Yin Zhu said, “It is indeed extremely challenging for the zither and guzheng to perform music together. If it is a short musical composition, however, some skill and different fingering methods can still make this possible. It’s just that it is quite difficult to complement one another, that’s all. One party has no other choice but to play in the background of the other.”

Lan Xi suddenly understood and said, “ So it’s like this, but without outstanding skill, I’m afraid that this is awfully difficult to accomplish. Your zither playing must be very good. Afterwards, can you teach me? I have merely just begun studying.”

Ye Yin Zhu smiled and said, “It’s okay! I can’t be your teacher; I still have a long way to go. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I’ll explain as long as I know the answer.”

“Thank you, you are a really good person. Just now they teased you like that, but you didn’t get angry.” Lan Xi’s attractive face blushed lightly as she whispered.

Yin Zhu forced a smile and said, “I didn’t get angry because some of their words I didn’t understand.”

Lan Xi stuck out her cute little tongue and exclaimed, “Just now, you have a lot of nerve! Unexpectedly calling Dean Nina grandmother, don’t tell me you didn’t know she hates other people calling her old? Fortunately, your zither playing is good. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for you to be accepted.”

Yin Zhu was surprised and asked, “Really? I didn’t know!”

Lan Xi showed him a defeated expression. “It is unlikely you didn’t know. Don’t tell me that you have arrived to take the exam without investigating the Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts? Don’t tell me that you know nothing about it at all.”

Yin Zhu nodded seriously. “I truly didn’t know!”
