Unexpectedly Joining Moonlight Pavilion

Fu Ye snapped back to his senses when he heard the other party's qin music. He realized this guy actually had some skill. The melody was decent too, but he couldn't feel the spirit or meaning of the piece.

As a Grandmaster who had mastered the guqin, Fu Ye felt it was necessary to give him some guidance.

The piece was fairly good, and the melody was all right, but there was no emotion in it. Fu Ye could only say, kid, you still need more practice.

After about five minutes, the other party finally finished the piece. Everyone around him looked at him with envy. After all, being able to compose a piece alone meant his qin skills had far surpassed theirs.

"So? Are you also convinced by my astonishing composition?"

The young man before him looked utterly pleased with himself, but Fu Ye merely shook his head helplessly.

"The piece is good, but it has neither form nor feeling. Before playing, you should calm your heart first."

Fu Ye directly pointed out the problem. The other party was too impatient, causing many notes to fail to convey the mood they were meant to express.

As a master who had fused with consummate-level qin skills, Fu Ye had already decided which piece from his past life he would play.

"You—"

The other party was about to lose his temper again, but Fu Ye gave him no chance to say much more.

As Fu Ye's fingers danced across the guqin, a dense, chilling aura of slaughter enveloped the entire classroom.

That was right. What Fu Ye intended to play was Ambush from Ten Sides, one of the ten great killing-intent pieces from his past life.

A terrifying Killing Intent filled the classroom. None of the students dared even breathe loudly, allowing that coldness to drift around them.

The students who had been waiting to see Fu Ye make a fool of himself were now trembling too hard to move. As for Fu Ye, the murderous aura they spoke of was merely a trace of the energy leaking from his body while he improvised.

After all, he used swords, and he had even bought consummate-level sword intent from the system. It was perfectly normal for his Killing Intent to be a little stronger.

Yet just as he was getting into the performance, a graceful figure pushed open the classroom door. The newcomer was Tang Yuehua, the head of this place and the founder of Moonlight Pavilion.

The music surged toward Tang Yuehua, carrying that chilling aura of slaughter as it instantly engulfed her heart. Her eyes abruptly turned toward Fu Ye, who was playing the guqin.

Fu Ye became more engrossed the longer he played. He had never particularly liked guqin music in the past, but now he found that its sound had a unique charm.

The surrounding students also seemed to gradually immerse themselves in that atmosphere. Their trembling slowly stopped, and they now found themselves enjoying the piece more than anything else.

Having been proficient in the four arts of qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting since childhood, Tang Yuehua naturally sensed that this piece was extraordinary.

With her discerning eye, she realized that the so-called aura of slaughter would not truly harm her. Thus, she boldly entered the classroom, walked to the center, and quietly listened to Fu Ye's performance.

Ambush from Ten Sides lasted roughly five minutes. Even after the piece ended, the students around him had yet to recover. It was as though they had been cast into a pitch-black night, able to hear only the cries of countless silent warhorses and the clashes of blades.

"Clap clap clap."

At that moment, applause came from the front of the classroom. Fu Ye looked back and discovered that Tang Yuehua had somehow arrived there already.

She was 1.73 meters tall and wore a silver palace-style gown. Her light blue hair was elegantly tied behind her back, while her gray eyes carried a gentle warmth. Her delicate, lovely face made everyone who saw her want to cherish her.

"Sir, this piece of yours is truly outstanding. Your qin skills have also greatly surprised Yuehua."

Tang Yuehua slowly rose to her feet. She had never seen him in Moonlight Pavilion before. Even nobles had to obtain her approval before sending their disciples here.

And this handsome young man with his extraordinary bearing had clearly not entered through any conventional means.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sister Yuehua. My name is Fu Ye. I came uninvited this time and caused you trouble. Please forgive me."

When Tang Yuehua called him "sir," Fu Ye knew that this girl had guessed he had not entered Moonlight Pavilion through any proper channels.

Of course, Fu Ye did not really care. He was already here. He had not caused trouble, so what was wrong with sitting in on a class?

When pursuing a girl, one had to be bold, attentive, and thick-skinned. Nothing could be done overnight. There was plenty of time; with a few more interactions, wouldn't feelings naturally develop?

"A guest is welcome, and your qin skills are no less than mine. With you here, I can relax a little as well."

Huh? What did that mean? Fu Ye looked utterly confused. She could relax with him here? How exactly?

"Xiao Zhang, bring Fu Ye's guqin to the front. Today, he and I will teach you qin skills together."

The students below: Huh??

Fu Ye: 6

The qin lessons lasted two shichen in total, roughly an entire morning.

When it came to teaching, he was usually the one lying at the back and sleeping. But now that he had been placed in the role of a teacher, he could only say that he wanted to sleep even more.

Still, with Tang Yuehua there, at most he could yawn a few times. Sleeping was out of the question with dozens of pairs of eyes watching below.

"All right, this morning's qin lesson has ended. This afternoon, Teacher Li will lead everyone in practicing calligraphy and painting. Make your preparations before class."

Tang Yuehua was utterly unsmiling when teaching the students, just like the teachers from Fu Ye's past life.

"Ahh..."

Fu Ye yawned. He was someone who never got sleepy, yet after just one class today, he was tired as a dog.

All he could say was that he was not born for studying. Cheating was much more comfortable.

Of course, one could slack off, but one could not truly be incompetent. Fu Ye only found the lessons boring enough to make him sleepy because he had obtained max-level qin skills from the system. Without the system, even if someone told him to sleep, he might not have been able to fall asleep.

"Fu Ye, come with me. I'll take you to Moonlight Pavilion to complete your employment paperwork."

Tang Yuehua stood up, and Fu Ye slowly rose as well.

Huh? Employment? What employment? He did not understand.

Three minutes later

As Fu Ye followed Yuehua into an elegantly decorated office, Tang Yuehua took a sheet of paper covered in writing from a cabinet.

"Huh? An employment application?"

What did this mean? She wanted him to work at Moonlight Pavilion?

"Huh? Didn't you come here to join Moonlight Pavilion as a teacher?"

This time, Tang Yuehua was the confused one. He was not a student, nor did he want to be a teacher, so what had he come here for? To cause trouble?

"Ahem, no. I came here to apply for a position."
