Chapter 26: Yuexuan

In the afternoon,

Qian Renxue brought Zhou Yi to the most prosperous area in the center of Tiandou City and stopped in front of a tall building.

This was a small building five stories high; even in Tiandou City, it could be considered quite a tall structure. The first impression this building gave people was one of elegance and refinement.

The overall architectural style was slightly archaic, and there were only two simple characters on the plaque: Yuexuan.

There were not many pedestrians coming and going, but one could tell that those entering and exiting were all people of lavish attire or excellent temperament. There were both men and women.

Two young guards clearly recognized Qian Renxue as the Crown Prince; although they did not know Zhou Yi's identity, they presumed it must be very noble. Thus, they bowed and saluted one after another.

Just like that, they arrived at the magnificent hall without any obstruction, and Qian Renxue said to the tall young woman waiting on the side to receive guests.

"Please announce us; tell her that I have something to discuss with Lady Yuehua."

The young woman bowed slightly and then quickly headed to the second floor.

Not long after, a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman was seen slowly walking down the stairs, followed by two beautiful young women.

At first glance, this beautiful woman seemed to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but her eyes seemed to have seen through everything in the world, which was by no means something a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old woman could compare to.

The silver palace dress she wore looked so fitting on her. Zhou Yi sighed with emotion; she was truly worthy of being a person who possessed her own domain—this temperament alone was enough to make people feel favorably toward her.

After Qian Renxue and Tang Yuehua exchanged greetings, they began to discuss the main matter.

"Lady Yuehua, I have actually come this time for this friend of mine beside me. I hope he can learn music from you here."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Tang Yuehua turned her beautiful eyes toward Zhou Yi and examined him carefully.

This young man was dressed in white, and his appearance was delicate and handsome. From the beginning, he had been waiting for their conversation without arrogance or impatience. This calm and extraordinary demeanor made Tang Yuehua feel favorably toward him as well.

"Lady Yuehua, I am Zhou Yi. I have long admired your talent in music, and I myself am full of interest in musical temperament, but I have been troubled by the lack of a teacher. That is why I requested Brother Xue to bring me to see you, hoping you could teach me the Dao of musical temperament." Zhou Yi bowed to Tang Yuehua with a sincere attitude and said.

"To be able to address the Crown Prince so intimately, your relationship must be very good. Rest assured, I will accept you," Tang Yuehua said with a faint smile.

Listening to Zhou Yi's speech just now, she was even more satisfied with this future student. After all, this was the Crown Prince's person, so it was impossible not to accept him.

"Then Qinghe thanks Lady Yuehua."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, no need for formalities, it is just a small matter."

Thus, Zhou Yi's study of musical temperament was settled.

That night, relying on Qian Renxue's connections, he bought a small mansion within the Tiandou Imperial City. At the same time, he told Ning Fengzhi the address of this house; after all, he could not always live in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Zhu Zhuqing was also picked up by him. The young girl was quite embarrassed at first, but later, after he let her pay rent and be responsible for their daily meals to a certain extent, she settled in with peace of mind.

Ning Rongrong was very reluctant to part with Zhu Zhuqing, but Zhou Yi also told Ning Rongrong that if she wanted to find Zhuqing, she could come over to play at any time, which made her beam with joy; this way, she could both find Zhuqing and come out to play.

Just like that, Zhou Yi began his fulfilling life: in the morning, he went to find Ning Fengzhi to learn calligraphy and painting, and in the afternoon, he went to Yuexuan to learn musical temperament.

Good heavens, even in another world, one still had to study hard. However, he was very different from his previous life now; relying on the Suanni Divine Ability, he learned everything very quickly, which instead made him experience the joy of learning that he had not experienced in his previous life.

Of course, he was not like this every day. Every week, he would specifically set aside two or three days to go find Sword Douluo to "freeload" his insights into space to perfect his "Harmonizing with the Dust."

There was also Sword Douluo. Since the Dao Scripture also recorded the use of swordsmanship, he did not let Sword Douluo off either and often learned swordsmanship from him.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, he did not leave her unattended. Every day or two, he would take her to the Soul Fighting Arena to hone her skills. The Soul Fighting Arena was only open at night, and Zhou Yi happened to have nothing to do every night, which was instead a way of relaxation and entertainment for him.

If they did not go to the Soul Fighting Arena, he would practice with Zhuqing in the clouds. In this environment, the cultivation efficiency of both of them would be higher than in a normal environment.

One year later,

Yuexuan.

Elegant and tranquil lights shone out from the several-story building of Yuexuan, and an endless stream of people continuously entered through invitations.

As the Court Etiquette Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, those who could enter Yuexuan to study had to at least possess a noble title and be no older than thirty years old. Undoubtedly, this was the place where the new generation of nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire was cultivated.

Therefore, although Yuexuan itself was not considered much, no force dared to reach out to it. Even the royal family would not.

It is rumored that Xue Ye Great Emperor and the owner of Yuexuan, Lady Yue, have a somewhat special and close relationship. Of course, this is just a rumor.

Tonight is the annual graduation ceremony.

Another batch of students is about to graduate. Those invited are all the parents and elders of these students. Undoubtedly, they are all influential figures in this capital city of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The graduation ceremony is held on the third floor of Yuexuan, and many dignitaries have already sat down in the prepared venue. They all hope to see what kind of improvement their children have made through the cultivation of Yuexuan.

As the owner of Yuexuan, Tang Yuehua is still in a silver palace dress, standing on one side of the hall with a smile on her face. After her subordinates tell her that everyone has arrived, she nods in acknowledgment. The graduation ceremony officially begins.

A line of young men and women dressed in silver begins to enter from the doors on both sides. The number of at least a hundred people does not bring any noise to the hall. Every person's face reveals the same elegant smile, their steps are so harmonious with each other, and between their gestures, a faint nobility neither gives people a feeling of arrogance nor fails to make people look sideways.

Just at this moment, the door on one side of the hall opens, and a handsome young man slowly walks out, holding an exquisite and elegant strange stringed instrument.

He is wearing a straight-collared robe interwoven with green and white, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his long hair is casually draped over his shoulders. The whole person is like the essence of the world's beauty, a Confucian gentleman who gathers handsomeness, nobility, and elegance in one.

In addition, there is even a trace of Daoist detachment and transcendence, yet these two completely different temperaments can be perfectly integrated in him.

When he walks out from the side door, he becomes the focus of the entire venue almost instantly.

Even those graduating students who walked into the hall with elegant smiles earlier cannot help but cast a glance at him.

Especially the female students among them, many of whom have eyes filled with infatuation.

Looking at the stage again, three other different musical instruments and four gorgeous chairs have been placed in different positions in advance.

People can only distinguish two of them as drums and wind instruments.

Zhou Yi smiles slightly at the many guests.

Before anyone reacts, three figures appear in the center of the stage as if they were ink paintings. Looking closely, the faces of these figures are exactly the same as Zhou Yi's.

Zhou Yi and his clones sit down on the seats on the stage one after another, picking up their instruments, ready to perform.

Although the people off the stage cannot recognize the instruments, if Tang San could come, he would definitely be shocked to the point of being speechless.

These four musical instruments are the Jie drum, Pipa, Konghou, and Bili. That's right, these are all traditional musical instruments of China.
