Chapter 91

" Ding "

Congratulations, player has learned combat skill: Qin Technique.

Combat skill? Wang Tian was shocked by this prompt after just playing. Playing the qin is a combat skill, not a life skill or an emotional skill?

"Teacher Xiao, how was my performance?" After a while, Wang Tian recovered and asked.

"Don't call me teacher, I should call you teacher... " Teacher Xiao said sincerely.

"How could I dare! I just started learning today." Wang Tian said.

Hearing Wang Tian's words, Teacher Xiao was extremely frustrated. Was this master still pretending? If he had just started learning the guqin, then wouldn't his decades of effort be wasted? To reach the realm of 'Silent Music' and 'Great Sound is Rare' just by starting? This 'rare sound' is the legendary celestial music, a presence that connects heaven and earth.

"Then let's learn from each other... What is your favorite guqin piece?"

"The Long Descent" and "Prosperous River" and... "Encounter in a Lonely Inn" and "Pounding Clothes"...

"Alright, can you play them? If not, I'll teach you."

"No."

So Teacher Xiao handed "The Long Descent" and "Prosperous River" to Wang Tian.

" Ding "

Congratulations, player has learned qin technique: "The Long Descent", congratulations, player has learned qin technique: "Prosperous River".

Wang Tian checked his skills.

The circular icon of the qin technique skill had a pattern of a guqin in the mist.

Qin Technique: Disrupt enemies with qin sound. 1, "The Long Descent" (Form): Attack power 0-0, 2, "Prosperous River" (Form): Attack power 0-0. Both have 0 attack power? Wang Tian was frustrated, but seeing the word 'Form', he understood. The qin technique must grasp the 'Intent' to unleash attack power. The "Free and Easy Wandering" he played earlier, although he grasped the intent, was not an attack skill.

Teacher Xiao felt he couldn't teach Wang Tian anything more, so he asked if Wang Tian knew how to read and play from sheet music. Wang Tian said no. So Teacher Xiao taught him the skill of reading and playing from sheet music. Wang Tian had a photographic memory, and although the sheet music was extremely strange, like a heavenly book, he still learned it.

In the future, when he encountered a piece he liked, he could study it himself without needing to ask others.

Wang Tian found it strange that he could learn the qin technique so quickly. This was mainly because the familiar feeling with the guqin helped him. Moreover, Wang Tian's current intelligence was over 150, and he had a photographic memory, making him very quick to learn anything.

Originally, the guqin was divided into nine major schools. Although Teacher Xiao was from Jianghuai, he belonged to the Shu Mountain school, which was passed down by Zhuge Kongming, Sima Xiangru, and Jiang Wei. However, Wang Tian's qin technique was self-taught and not influenced by any school style.

By noon, Wang Tian came out.

"You learned so quickly? You're really a genius!" Leng Xinxin greeted him. She had also learned guqin from Teacher Xiao for two days, but the complex techniques made her feel like her brain was a mess, and reading the sheet music was like reading a heavenly book. The sheet music looked like Chinese characters, but different characters were split into upper and lower parts, representing the left and right hand techniques, which were hard to understand for those unfamiliar with them.

"The guqin is actually quite simple." Wang Tian said. This one sentence almost made Teacher Xiao and Leng Xinxin fall over in shock.

The two said goodbye to Teacher Xiao and left her house.

"Let's go eat, I'll treat you."

"Sure, it's your first time treating me, I'll pick the expensive dishes." Leng Xinxin said with a laugh, driving away. After more than ten minutes, they arrived in a bustling area with many restaurants.

Wang Tian and Leng Xinxin chose a noodle shop called 'Fan Fan Ramen' and went in. The interior was very rustic and peaceful, and there weren't many people. The tables and chairs were imitations of old rural benches and tables, giving a countryside feel.

The noodles here were very expensive, nearly 100 RMB per bowl. A bowl of noodles is so expensive? Leng Xinxin thought to herself. Although she had eaten more expensive things at banquets before, at least they had a good name.

During this time, Wang Tian received two calls. One was from Mo Zigui, who and Wang Yu were waiting at home for him to cook. Although it took a bus ride to get home from No. 16 High School, they were used to eating Wang Tian's cooking and found everything else unpalatable. Wang Tian called and told them to buy their own food, which led to a round of complaints.

The other call was from the auction house, informing him that he could come to collect his documents and keys. The auction house was very efficient; the more money you paid, the faster they worked. A large auction company like Huaihai had connections in the relevant departments, making it easy to obtain documents. They could even do it immediately if needed.

Putting down his chopsticks, Wang Tian checked his wallet and found only a little over 100 RMB, not enough to pay for the meal. He had plenty on his card, but he didn't want to go withdraw money just for a meal.

"Xinxin, I don't have enough money, can you pay?"

"You're treating me, but I'm paying. You're really something!" Leng Xinxin said, frustrated. "Today is the first day I'm your girlfriend, and you're making me pay for the first meal you treat me to. Won't I be bullied by you in the future?" Leng Xinxin was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and wealthy businessmen generally believed in good omens. Leng Xinxin was influenced by her father, and today's omen was not good.

"Let's split the bill. The noodles we ordered have different prices, so we'll each pay half. This way, we're in each other, isn't that better?" Wang Tian suggested.

"Sure." Leng Xinxin was happy. She had never heard such a romantic explanation for splitting the bill.

Two waitresses in maid outfits nearby heard Wang Tian's words and couldn't help but feel disdain. Asking a girlfriend to pay for a meal, how stingy. He looks so handsome, but he's just a pretty face. The other thought: Having such a handsome boyfriend, even if I pay for everything, it's worth it. That girl is still concerned about omens, how superstitious...

The two left the ramen shop and drove directly to the Huaihai Auction House.

At the reception, Wang Tian received several documents and a set of keys. He originally thought it would take many days to process so many documents, but they were done in half a day. If he had to go through the government, it would probably take half a year.

"Let's go see my new home."

"Sure, but you can't make me help you move. I can't lift heavy things." Leng Xinxin said.

"How could I? You're the daughter of a wealthy family, who would make you do manual labor?"

Soon, they arrived in front of a villa by a large river. Jianghuai City has two tributaries of the Yangtze River running through it, one is the Ruan River, and the other is the Qingyi River. Wang Tian's villa was by the Qingyi River.
