Xu Xiulin smiled and glanced at Pu Yanjun, then said to Qin Xianyun with a smile,""Young man, if you have something to say, just say it!」
Qin Xianyun said regretfully,"Then I'll be frank. Although the Qiyun Zither is a good zither, I can't agree with the seniors 'protection of him." The Qiyun Wood was a dead object, but the Qiyun Zither was as spiritual as a human. A good zither must be maintained in a good environment in order to bring out its own temperament.」
Qin Xianyun looked at the qin and continued,"But this 'Qiyun Qin' is now placed with so many instruments, and in such a noisy environment. After a long time, the humid air, endless noise, and all kinds of smells emitted from our bodies will slowly wear down the spirit of the 'Qiyun Qin.' At that time, the 'Qiyun Qin' will be no different from an ordinary qin. I believe that the musician who made the "Qiyun Guqin" would rather discard the precious Qiyun wood than make more guqin. He was afraid that it would fall into the hands of people who didn't know how to play the guqin and ruin a good guqin!」
Qin Xianyun scolded Xu Xiulin and the others for not cherishing the good zither, but Xu Xiulin suddenly laughed out loud after hearing that. He clapped and said,""Alright! It seemed that Elder Mu had not recommended the wrong person! Only those who truly understood the zither would be so attentive to this zither!」After saying that, he turned to Gu Yueming and Yu Da and said happily,"[Old Gu, Old Yu, looks like you guys lost the bet just now!]」
It turned out that moving the Qiyun Zither out of the room was one of the methods Xu Xiulin and the others used to test Qin Xianyun.
If someone who didn't know anything about the zither was to put the Qiyun Zither together with other musical instruments, they would definitely take it for granted. However, for someone who truly understood the zither and the heart of the zither, they would definitely be unable to help but point out the mistakes when they saw it. If he turned a blind eye to this phenomenon, then even if he could play a few songs, his attainments would not be that high!
Xu Xiulin and the others planned to use this method to understand Qin Xianyun's carefulness and love for Qin. Before Mei Yijun came, they had already made a bet that Qin Xianyun would not point out this mistake. Gu Yueming and Yu Da thought that Qin Xianyun might have overlooked this small matter, while Xu Xiulin and Pu Yanjun were positive about it. That was why Xu Xiulin said those words just now.
Mei Yijun felt disdainful when she heard Qin Xianyun's words. She thought that this was just the basic knowledge that a person who played the piano had to master. It was only because she had proposed this test method yesterday that she was too embarrassed to interrupt. In fact, she didn't know that she would have such thoughts now. It was mostly because Qin Xianyun didn't care about her beauty at all.
Xu Xiulin and the others were very satisfied with Qin Xianyun's reaction, but they didn't notice a trace of a smile in Qin Xianyun's eyes. It seemed that she wasn't surprised by their assessment method at all.
Mei Yijun suddenly gave Pu Yanjun a look. Pu Yanjun smiled and nodded. He exchanged a look with Xu Xiulin and said to Qin Xianyun,""Young man, we're going to conduct an official assessment on you. Are you ready?」
Qin Xianyun smiled, not showing any nervousness or uneasiness.
Xu Xiulin gestured and said,""Next, Professor Mei Yijun will examine your memory and piano playing skills. Later, Professor Mei Yijun will play a piece of music that has never been passed down. You must imitate it with the zither. As long as you imitate it accurately, you will pass the first test. This question was a little difficult. As long as it didn't go against the emotions expressed by the music, one could freely change the technique.」Xu Xiulin looked at Qin Xianyun. Seeing that he had no objections, he said to Mei Yijun,"[Let's begin!]
Mei Yijun had been waiting for this moment for a long time. When she heard Xu Xiulin's words, she immediately stood up and clapped her hands.
A few seconds later, a few staff members of the Heavenly Heart Hall brought over a zither and a stool. They placed a zither in front of Qin Xianyun, but it wasn't the 'Qiyun Zither.'
Mei Yijun sat down in front of the guzheng and glanced at Qin Xianyun.
Seeing Mei Yijun looking at her, Qin Xianyun smiled back at her.
Mei Yijun was displeased when she saw his smile. When she looked at Qin Xianyun again, her eyes were closed and her hands were on the strings.
Mei Yijun was even angrier now. How dare this guy look down on me like this? Hmph, I'll see how you die later. Thinking of this, Mei Yijun's beautiful and cute nose wrinkled and she snorted softly.
After putting on her fingernails, she gently pressed her fingers on the strings of the zither. As the familiar aura entered her fingertips, Mei Yijun's heart was filled with confidence. Mei Yijun had never doubted her own guzheng skills. Now, she was even more unafraid of Qin Xianyun, who had never received formal music training. She was determined to teach him a lesson to relieve her anger.
Mei Yijun took a deep breath, and her quiet fingers suddenly began to move. Her right index finger plucked the strings, and her left hand trembled violently. Suddenly, her ten fair and delicate fingers drifted on more than twenty strings like flowing water, brushing, plucking, playing, and picking. Beautiful notes jumped out from her fingers, like raindrops hitting banana leaves or pearls falling on a jade plate. They were connected into a cheerful, smooth, elegant, and heavy tune, creating a beautiful scene of poetry and painting.
Fifteen seconds later, the zither music stopped abruptly. Mei Yijun raised her head slightly, and her watery eyes revealed a proud expression. She had composed this piece with a friend last year, and it had not been published yet. No one had heard it except for the two of them.
She was about to ask Qin Xianyun if he had heard her clearly. If Qin Xianyun's answer was no, then she could show him her " broad " mind and demonstrate it again so that this ignorant boy would know how powerful she was!
But to her surprise, just as her lips moved and before she could say anything, Qin Xianyun's hand moved at the same time as her eyes opened. He accurately played the song she had just played, and there was not a single mistake in the music. The proficiency of his fingers was hard to believe that it was his first time playing this song. Moreover, he had only heard others play it once, and he had not even seen the score before. He was already playing the song with the zither.
In the same 15 seconds, Qin Xianyun finished playing the tune Mei Yijun had just played.
[Alright!] Xu Xiulin was the first to applaud. He, Gu Yueming, and the others had been paying attention to Qin Xianyun's expression when she listened to Mei Yijun's guzheng performance. However, apart from seeing Qin Xianyun's eyes closed and the smile on her face, there was nothing unusual. Now, he heard that Qin Xianyun could imitate the superb skills of the guzheng without any mistakes. He couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up because even those who had undergone special training could hardly reach this level.
Although Gu Yueming and Yu Da did not know how to play the zither, they were very satisfied with Qin Xianyun's performance. As the dean of the art academy, Pu Yanjun was very shocked by Qin Xianyun's performance. He had already vaguely understood that Qin Xianyun was not listening to the zither with his ears, but was using his heart to capture the emotions outside the zither strings. Even he had only just entered this realm. Now, it had appeared on a young man who was only twenty years old. How could he not be shocked? Besides being shocked, he was also a little touched. The person sitting in front of him was indeed a musical genius!
Mei Yijun had to admit that Qin Xianyun had some skills, but she didn't think that Qin Xianyun could surpass her. Qin Xianyun's elegant performance just now had increased her competitive spirit. At the same time, she wanted to show off her attainments in the zither so that Qin Xianyun could see her in a different light and let him know that she was not just a perfect appearance!
However, Mei Yijun didn't analyze why she had such thoughts. Instead, she played a more difficult tune to confuse Qin Xianyun. Her fingers moved rapidly, and the shadows of her fingers danced on the zither strings. An intense, unrestrained, high-pitched, and shocking scene was released from between her ten fingers...
Pu Yanjun chuckled and said to Xu Xiulin,"[Old Xu, our Xiao Mei has finally shown her might!]」Xu Xiulin, Gu Yueming, and Yu Da all smiled and nodded in unison. They could see that Mei Yijun was trying to suppress Qin Xianyun in a fit of pique, so they were happy to watch the show.
Half a minute later, Mei Yijun's fingers finally stopped. At this moment, her cheeks were already slightly red. She had really found it a little difficult to finish playing the tune in one breath just now. However, after she finished playing, a victorious smile appeared on her face, as if she had already determined that it was impossible for Qin Xianyun to imitate it. This tune was composed by her a few days ago, and it was more difficult than any other song. It took her four to five days to barely play the tune she wrote herself. Now, it was even harder than ascending to the heavens for someone who had only listened to it once to play it. She had originally planned to use this tune to participate in the Guzheng Competition in Kikouying City. She did not expect it to be published here!
As expected, Qin Xianyun opened her eyes after a while, and the smile on her face had changed into contemplation.
Mei Yijun smiled proudly and said,"[How is it? Can this pop out? However, it doesn't matter if you can't play it. I think that with your level just now, you're qualified to enter Tianyun University's Art College!」She finally let out a sigh of relief.
Xu Xiulin and the others smiled knowingly when they saw this.
However, Qin Xianyun immediately smiled and said to Mei Yijun,"[Senior, is the song you're playing a new one?」
"Not bad! How did you guess?" Mei Yijun said in surprise.
Qin Xianyun said,"I heard you play the song just now. There seemed to be a few notes that didn't match the emotions that the whole song was trying to express. Also, you seemed to be breathing a little fast after playing the song. You seemed to be unfamiliar with the song, so I made a bold guess that this is a new song."」He used the word "seemingly" three times in a row, but the meaning was already very obvious.
Mei Yijun blushed. Qin Xianyun was right. She could feel that there was something wrong with the song, but she couldn't find it. She couldn't control her breathing well when she played the song. Now, a stranger who was younger than her pointed out this flaw. She couldn't accept it and said,[Oh? Is that so?"
At this time, Xu Xiulin, who was beside him, also said with a suspicious smile,[Young man, did you really hear me clearly? If Professor Mei really made a mistake in the song just now, can you point it out?」Qin Xianyun nodded and said,"Of course." If Senior Mei doesn't mind, I'll play the song again with a few notes.」
Although he was asking Mei Yijun for her opinion, he didn't wait for her to agree before he started to play. Mei Yijun was furious. She thought Qin Xianyun didn't care about her at all.
However, after a few seconds, not only did Xu Xiulin and the others open their mouths in surprise, but even Mei Lian Yijun herself could not help but stand up from the stool.
Qin Xianyun played Mei Yijun's song again. She only changed a few notes, but it made the whole song smoother and more emotional. It made the feelings that the song wanted to express more prominent. In addition, the technique of playing was also very good. It was so familiar and experienced that it was not unfamiliar at all. Compared to Mei Yijun's performance just now, it was even better. Moreover, Qin Xianyun was calm and composed after playing the piano, unlike Mei Yijun, who had blushed slightly because of her breathing.
After the song ended for a few minutes, Xu Xiulin and the others began to exclaim in admiration. Mei Yijun had no choice but to admit defeat to Qin Xianyun this time. She looked at Qin Xianyun with confusion.
Mei Yijun wondered what kind of person he was.
Xu Xiulin praised,"Young man, I didn't expect your zither skills to be so superb. It seems that our exam is a little redundant!" Young man, since your performance level has reached such a superb level, why did you still enter Tianyun University's Art College?」
Qin Xianyun stood up and said,"There is no end to the improvement of the zither. I have only just touched the corner of the zither." The reason why I want to enroll in Tianyun University's art school is because I heard from Old Master Mu that Tianyun's art school not only focuses on art, but also on humanities. Therefore, I came here to improve my cultivation in all aspects. Only by improving my cultivation in other aspects can my zither skills be further improved!」
Xu Xiulin was very happy to see that Qin Xianyun could be so humble and studious despite her high level. He glanced at Gu Yueming and the others and saw that they also nodded. He couldn't help but smile and say,"Alright! Young man, we originally wanted to test your improvisation level and knowledge of literature, history, and philosophy, but now it's all free! From tomorrow onwards, you'll be attending classes in the music department of Tianyun University's art college! I wish you good results here, and the school will exempt you from your tuition and miscellaneous fees!」He was even a little happy that the school could recruit such an outstanding student.
Qin Xianyun said,"Thank you, Senior!"」
Xu Xiulin smiled and nodded. He turned around and said," Xiao Mei, Xianyun has just come to our school. You should accompany him for a walk and familiarize him with our school environment. You can bring him to settle the admission procedures in the afternoon.
[Ah? Me?" Mei Yijun heard Xu Xiulin's words as soon as she came back to her senses.
Mei Yijun glanced at Xu Xiulin and the others. Seeing that they were all staring at her, she reluctantly agreed. At the same time, she glared at Qin Xianyun fiercely, then picked up the small bag on the chair and said to Qin Xianyun,"[Let's go!]
After seeing the two of them leave the Heavenly Heart Hall, Xu Xiulin laughed and said,""Old man Mu has finally done a great deed for our school. He has sent a genius over!」Gu Yueming and the others nodded in agreement. Pu Yanjun suddenly narrowed his eyes and said,"[Although Xiao Mei looks very gentle on the surface, she's very competitive on the inside. Now that she's been outdone by this young man, will she give him some trouble later?]」
Xu Xiulin suddenly said,"That's good. We'll have a good show to watch in the future!"」
Thus, the bored old men immediately started laughing slyly…
