Chapter 33

Xuanyuan Xi suddenly remembered something, "The Grand Master of Guanyuan Temple is quite skilled. Qin Yuchuan, if you have time, you should pay him a visit. Perhaps you could learn something from him."

"I understand. I will go if I have time," Qin Yuchuan replied.

After lunch, Qin Yuchuan returned to his courtyard. Compared to his days in the military, his current life was too relaxed.

He must be prepared and take precautions, as some things needed to be arranged in advance.

On the other hand, Feng Qingyi, who had attended a guqin lesson in the morning, felt exhausted.

Learning the ancient guqin was truly difficult. The female teacher who taught her was quite fierce. Couldn't they assign a charming and graceful teacher like the one for martial arts?

She wanted to complain, but there was no way. How tiring!

When Feng Qingyi arrived at the classroom, she found all her classmates staring at her. What was happening now?

Shen Hanyue waved at Feng Qingyi, who hurried over.

"What's going on with them? Why are they looking at me like that?"

Shen Hanyue shook her head, "I don't know either. Maybe they're envious and jealous."

Feng Qingyi sighed helplessly. She took her textbook from Shen Hanyue's desk. Class was about to start, so she should focus on studying.

Her study life was back on track. Feng Qingyi's schedule was tightly packed. The guqin lesson was scheduled after lunch, and the martial arts class after dinner. Every day was fulfilling, so fulfilling that she had no time to think about anything else.

At Jin Zun Tower, the premier restaurant in Shengjing City, Qin Yuchuan and his friends were chatting idly in a private room.

"Yuchuan, what are your plans this time?" Shangguan Yi asked.

Shangguan Yi, Chu Sixing, and Xu Liyan were friends Qin Yuchuan had known since childhood at the academy. The four of them had been close since young, and their bond remained strong despite not seeing each other for a long time.

Shangguan Yi came from a wealthy merchant family and enjoyed indulging in pleasure.

Xu Liyan was from the nobility, graceful and humble, treating others with warmth and gaining a good reputation in Shengjing City.

Chu Sixing's ability to stick around these men was solely due to his talent for socializing. He was lively, fond of lively gatherings, and a chatterbox.

Qin Yuchuan raised his teacup, "What plans could I have? I'll just take it one step at a time."

"That doesn't sound like you," Xu Liyan spoke.

"Are there no other ways besides gifts?" Surely, there must be other methods.

Shangguan Yi said, "There is another way. You can directly take her as your wife, and then cultivate feelings. Once you have her, it's only a matter of time before you win her heart."

Qin Yuchuan felt that discussing this with them was a waste of time. He would be better off reading some romantic novels.

"You all continue. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Watching Qin Yuchuan leave, Shangguan Yi asked, "What's with him? Was there anything wrong with what I said?"

Chu Sixing shook his head, "It didn't seem like it. Perhaps he plans to send someone to propose marriage? But it's quite a distance from Shengjing to the desert."

Xu Liyan stood up, "He's not going to propose. He just thinks Shangguan's suggestion wasn't appropriate. Let's gather again another day. I'll also take my leave."

Qin Yuchuan sensed someone following him and slowed his pace.

Xu Liyan walked beside him, "It's rare for you to be troubled by matters of the heart."

"I'm not a god," Qin Yuchuan said.

Xu Liyan chuckled lightly, "You've changed a lot over the years. Whether that change is good or bad, others have no right to comment. But you should be clear about it yourself."

"If you truly care for someone, and that person is worthy of your affection, then all you need is sincerity. You don't need wealth or benefits to accompany it."

"After all, you know that although Shangguan is a philanderer, he is the coldest among us. His women are only after his wealth, but I doubt the one you admire is like that."

Qin Yuchuan said, "Thank you."

"You've just returned to Shengjing, and many eyes are watching you. Be cautious in all matters. If you need anything, you can come to me."

"Very well." Qin Yuchuan did not refuse Xu Liyan's goodwill, but whether he would seek him out later remained to be seen.

After parting with Xu Liyan, Qin Yuchuan saw a street vendor selling sugar figurines.

"This rabbit, let me have one."

The elderly sugar figurine vendor handed a rabbit figurine to Qin Yuchuan, "Take it carefully, young sir."

After paying, Qin Yuchuan looked at the rabbit sugar figurine in his hand and decided to send it to Feng Qingyi.

These past few days, she had been replying slowly to the messages he sent her, and he wanted to see her a little.
