Chapter 129 Confucian Robe
But after Qin Shuang turned seven years old she changed, becoming capricious, temperamental, teasing Tianci. In the beginning, Tianci also accommodated Qin Shuang, because he learned from Jian Mo that Qin Shuang’s meridians were blocked. But the more he accommodated her, the more severe she became, even treating him as a servant of the Princess Palace, and finally these two childhood friends grew further and further apart, not seeing each other for many years. He vividly remembers the last meeting between him and Qin Shuang a few years ago. Tianci had been avoiding Qin Shuang for three years, two people haven’t seen each other in ages. When they met by chance in the city, Qin Shuang did not play any tricks on him, nor did she rudely insult him, but looked at him faintly and said:
“I don’t need pity.”
Two lines of tears rolled down from Tianci’s eyes, although he shed tears, but his eyes flickered like stars, full of joy.
“Shuang’er, have you recovered from the blow? Are you happy now?”
In the crowd Lan Ming Yue had a faint smile on his face, and he said secretly in his mind:
“I’m not the only narcissist in this world, haha… Shuang’er wearing a Confucian robe is really classy ah, should I also wear a Confucian robe?”
Zhou Haoran’s eyes reveal a trace of coldness. As a pure literati, he is very disgusted by those who rely on their identity as royal nobles, with no scholarly achievements to wear Confucian robes. He thinks this is a kind of blasphemy towards Confucianism. So when he saw Qin Shuang actually wearing a Confucian robe, a hint of disgust appeared in his heart.
However, this kind of disgust only he, with his pig-headed temper possesses. The inner thoughts of the people around him are completely different. Some people in this world are inherently noble. As some say, the life you are born into shapes you. If you are born into nobility, from an early age you will be influenced by the environment, slowly cultivating an honorable aura.
Some are noble, elegant, holy, majestic, or graceful…
Although different, but there is a commonality, they are all high above. Even a very cultivated person. Deliberately hiding their nobility, but people still feel their pride, their superiority. With their unapproachable aura, those looking at them have reverence in their hearts, they dare not speak loudly. They dare not get close.
However, Qin Shuang gives off a different vibe. In her body people can feel that elegant nobility, but people also feel familiarity, like the warmth of a spring breeze. People want to surround her, and tell her their innermost secrets.
As Tianqin City’s Spirit Pattern host Luan Feng’s impression of Qin Shuang is very good. Now he knows that Qin Shuang is already a third level spirit pattern teacher, his impression of her is even better. Seeing the temperament of Qin Shuang, he laughed:
“Seventh Princess. Today is the first time I’ve seen you in a Confucian robe. But what’s the meaning?”
Qin Shuang cannot help but secretly praise Luan Feng in her heart, originally she also arranged Xiu Niang in the crowd to shout, now its unnecessary. Luan Feng took the initiative to build a bridge for her, she smiled:
“After this Competition, Qin Shuang wants to study Confucianism.”
Qin Shuang did not call herself ‘This Palace’ but called her own name. Then she bowed and cupped her fists to Zhou Haoran, who was sitting on the side of Luan Feng:
“Also ask Master Zhou to accept Xiao Shuang, this student.”
Zhou Haoran stared blankly, and then his eyes narrowed, staring at Qin Shuang meaningfully, he faintly said:
“As long as you are willing to endure hardship, what harm is there in teaching you?”
“Thanking the teacher!” Qin Shuang lifted up her robe, ready to kneel and worship the teacher. Don’t say Qin Shuang, a princess, even if it is the designated heir to the kingdom, he also needs to kneel and kowtow.
“Wait!” Zhou Haoran opened his mouth to stop Qin Shuang: “I can teach you, but you don’t need to worship me as a teacher.”
Qin Shuang slowly straightened up, although Zhou Haoran refused, her face did not have the slightest frustration, still with a faint smile. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether she worships Zhou Haoran as a teacher, as long as she can learn the essence of Confucianism. And she understands Zhou Haoran’s thoughts. Her own brothers and sisters, all want to worship Zhou Haoran as a teacher but shes never heard of Zhou Haoran taking any of her siblings as a disciple before.
Because her siblings know, and Zhou Haoran is also very clear, once he accepts someone as a disciple, he will inevitably become the supporter behind that person. So for the upright Zhou Haoran its normal to not accept Qin Shuang as a disciple.
And Qin Shuang does not have the mind to compete for the kingdom’s seat, her eyes are farther, so her heart will not be disappointed. On the contrary, Zhou Haoran saw Qin Shuang’s indifferent look, and his heart was stunned, he could not understand Qin Shuang’s thoughts.
On the other side Luan Feng is anxious, looking at Qin Shuang he urgently asked: “Seventh Princess, don’t you want to study spirit patterns?”
“Naturally I still want to study spirit patterns!”
Qin Shuang winked at Luan Feng. Luan Feng immediately knew why Qin Shuang wants to learn Confucianism, merging Confucianism and Spirit Patterns, to seek a breakthrough in the realm of spirit pattern art. Thinking of Qin Shuang’s vein blockage, it has blocked her path in martial arts, so Qin Shuang has no choice but to choose Confucianism. Thinking here, he cannot help but sigh in his heart, but also praise Qin Shuang’s perseverance and fortitude. Looking at her, he then waved his hand, and the people of the Spirit Pattern Association began to give the twenty-three contestants above the high platform the test papers. When the examination papers are distributed, Luan Feng shouts:
“A hundred questions, one hour, now begin!”
On the side of the high stage, the timekeeper immediately flipped the hourglass, and twenty-three people, like Qin shuang, began to answer the questions. Qin Shuang answers very quickly. These questions are from the first-class spirit-apprentice to the tenth level spirit-teacher realm, and although Qin Shuang has only reached the sixth-level spirit-teacher realm, but in theory she is a veritable tenth level spirit-teacher. And she is better than any of the tenth-level spirit teachers on this continent.
Strictly speaking, the realm of spirit teachers on this continent are vastly far from her.
That being the case, the pen of Qin Shuang has not stopped at all. Of course, the pens in the hands of the twenty-three people present did not stop, at least no one stopped now, and the pace of writing is extremely fast.
But……
Gradually, someone began to slow down, and then stopped writing and looked around. Finally, only Qin Shuang, Jie Du, Zhao Chuan, Dian Jun and Liu Fei’er are still answering questions. The rest of them stopped, looking at these five individuals.
