Xu Guannan let Chu Qingzhi sit on the teacher’s seat. “Miss Chu, please.”

Chu Qingzhi refused. “It’s not appropriate for me to take your seat. I’ll take Xuyao’s seat.”

Xu Guannan smiled. It was hard not to like this girl.

Chu Qingzhi walked over and sat on Chu Xuyao’s seat. There was an ordinary guqin on the table. “Is this the guqin you used in class?”

Chu Xuyao nodded. “Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi fiddled with the strings twice. The sound was in tune. “Xuyao, which song are you learning?”

“I’m learning ‘Geese on the Sand’, but I can’t play it well. Fifth Sister, is it possible that I don’t have the talent to learn the guqin?” Chu Xuyao said in disappointment.

Chu Xuyuan leaned over and said in a low mood, “Fifth Sister, I can’t learn well either. Do 1 have to be very talented to learn the guqin?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “It’s not difficult. As long as you master some basic skills, you can play a good tune even if you’re not talented.”

Iler seventh and ninth brothers were so smart. How could they not be able to master guqin?

The two little fellows’ chubby faces lit up involuntarily. They looked at Chu Qingzhi expectantly. They really wanted to play the guqin well.

When the students outside the room heard this, they focused their attention and their eyes were fervent.

Among them, there was no lack of people with good guqin skills. They thought that it would be great if they could learn something.

Xu Guannan walked over and looked at Chu Qingzhi eagerly.

As the most outstanding guqin player among the students, he was also proud. However, ever since he heard Chu Qingzhi play the guqin outside Hongyan Restaurant last time, he realized how ignorant he was. He yearned to make improvements. Even if he could not reach Chu Qingzhi’s level, at least he had a goal to strive for.

Chu Qingzhi said patiently, “I’ll play a song first. Take a look at my finger technique and comprehend it. If you don’t understand, we’ll talk after I’m done playing.”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao nodded. “Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi’s slender and beautiful fingers played on the guqin, and a melody slowly flowed out…

As soon as the melody spread, a scene appeared in everyone’s eyes. It was an autumn day when the wild geese flew south in groups, crossing the river. The lone goose in front landed on the sandbank first, followed by a few geese In the middle, then the ones at the back.

The guqin tune suddenly became different, and the scene in everyone’s minds changed… Some of the geese flew down without chirping, while others circled and flew down while chirping.

The guqin tune became slightly hurried… A group of wild geese flew over again. The lone goose in the lead looked up at the sky and cried out. The remaining geese quickly flew down. Dozens of geese in the sky flapped their wings and landed on the ground.

The sound of the guqin suddenly slowed down… Perhaps because they had rested enough, some of the wild geese that landed on the ground flew up and circled in the air, crying out as if they were calling for their companions to leave. The cries were uneven, and the sound of flapping wings was heard. Some stood there motionless, as if it had nothing to do with them.

The sound of the guqin alternated between calm and hurried… A group of autumn geese flew away, but there was an endless stream of them.

Clang… The guqin music ended.

Although the song had ended, the music was still lingering. Everyone was immersed in the guqin music and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

In a pavilion not far from the guqin room, two noble elders were also infatuated by this beautiful guqin music.

Suddenly, one of them clapped his hands and laughed. “Wenzhan, how is it?”

Li Wenzhan came back to his senses and stroked his beard. He smiled and said, “This person’s guqin skills are above mine.”

Guan Fuyuan asked, “Do you want to see this person?”

Li Wenzhan hesitated for a moment before saying, “I don’t think so. This person’s attainments are above mine. I want to find a disciple, not a master.”

Guan Fuyuan smiled and said, “You’ve never admitted defeat when it comes to guqin. Why are you afraid this time?”

Li Wenzhan looked at him helplessly. “I’m not afraid. 1 just understand my limits.”

Guan Fuyuan smiled. “Alright, whatever you say.”

A wave of applause erupted in the classroom.

Chu Xuyuan said in admiration, “Fifth Sister, you played so well. 1 think I saw a group of geese flying over from the opposite side of the river and landing on the sandbank to rest. When they had enough rest, they continued to fly away…”

Chu Xuyao was also filled with admiration. “Fifth Sister, I also heard geese chirping. It’s very vivid.”

Xu Guannan’s eyes were filled with respect. He knew that he couldn’t compare to the girl in front of him.

Jiang Zhaoyong used to be prideful, but after losing to Chu Qingzhi, he started to doubt himself.

Now that he listened to the guqin music, even if he didn’t know anything about guqin, he knew that this guqin skill was top-notch.

Those students who thought that their guqin skills were not bad could not help but be humble.

Chu Qingzhi maintained a calm attitude. “Did you see my finger technique?”

Chu Xuyuan lowered his head guiltily. “Fifth Sister, I was so focused on listening that I forgot.”

Chu Xuyao also lowered his head.

Chu Qingzhi patted the two little guys’ shoulders and smiled. “It’s fine. I’ll show you again. This time, I’ll play slower.”

The guqin music sounded again. This time, everyone’s gaze was focused on Chu Qingzhi’s finger…

Xu Guannan looked at it seriously. He hadn’t made a breakthrough in his guqin skills for a long time. He wanted to use this opportunity to make a breakthrough.

Some students who were very fond of guqin squeezed around Chu Qingzhi and looked at her finger techniques carefully.

A teacher came to the classroom with a book, but there was no one in the classroom. “Eh, is it a rest day today?”

So he walked out.

The teachers at the other classrooms also walked out with dumbfounded expressions. The teachers looked at each other with a look of confusion on their faces.

After watching Chu Qingzhi play the guqin for the second time, someone immediately started practicing.

Chu Qingzhi gave away her seat. “Xuyao, play. Let me see how well you’ve learned it.”

“Okay.” Chu Xuyao felt enlightened. After sitting down, he immediately started playing.

In the following period of time, Chu Qingzhi completely replaced Xu Guannan as the teacher and guided the students. Under her guidance, everyone gained something and played the guqin better and better.

Jiang Zhaoyong stood at the door of the guqin room and looked at Chu Qingzhi. How old was this girl? How could she do everything so well?

Unknowingly, he was convinced..
