CHAPTER 472: CHAPTER 471: MUSICAL GENIUS

Out of genuine admiration for the two homeroom teachers, Zhen Yu unreservedly shared her plan to take Han Mingyue and "descend together to class ten" upon their first meeting!

Much to her dismay, she received serious criticism and education in return! Teacher Cao played the bad cop, while Teacher Jiang played the good cop, giving Zhen Yu a thorough dressing down!!

Zhen Yu swore, she had never been so embarrassed in her entire life, let alone in front of Han Mingyue!

But what could she do!? She still had to bow her head and admit her mistake...

"Both teachers, I was wrong! I promise to stay quietly in class one,"

Before Zhen Yu could even finish making her promise, Teacher Cao suddenly interrupted!

"Actually, you don’t necessarily have to stay in class one! I think class two is also pretty good!"

Three students: "???"

What does Teacher Cao mean?

Teacher Jiang: "!!!"

You can’t just undermine me like that!

Cao Yong’s face turned dark under the scrutiny of everyone present!

But since he was already dark-skinned, no one could really tell if his emotions had changed.

"Class one’s Teacher Zhang Lei and I share an office; I’ve learned a bit about him indirectly. This person..."

The stern Teacher Cao couldn’t even bring himself to utter a negative adjective, opting instead to pull out his ace!

Just listen to what I say and do as I arrange!

"In short, one sentence! Zhen Yu, you go to class two!"

Zhen Yu immediately nodded! "Yes, Teacher Cao!"

-

Seeing Teacher Cao had arranged for his ’favorite pupil,’ Teacher Jiang then smiled and said, "Since the issue with you two, Zhen Yu, is resolved, it’s Bai Xue’s turn!"

Bai Xue, the little academic underachiever, was suddenly mentioned by her beloved homeroom teacher, causing her to become excited and nervous. "Teacher Jiang! I, I..."

Teacher Jiang’s smile was amiable, "Don’t be nervous, take your time. Bai Xue! It wasn’t easy for you to get into First High School! What are your plans for the next three years?"

"I plan to pursue the music talent stream!" As soon as her current passion was brought up, Bai Xue’s voice soared.

"Music talent stream?" Teacher Jiang pondered for a moment; being new, his knowledge about First High School was still limited! So he could only start by understanding more about Bai Xue’s situation, "Are you interested in studying vocal music or playing an instrument?"

"Playing an instrument! The guqin!!"

Instruments, those were outside Teacher Jiang’s expertise! However, he approached the problem from a unique angle!

"Have you already started learning? How do you feel about it? Is it difficult? I mean! Compared to studying, is it difficult?"

"Not difficult at all! I found it super easy! I got it right away!!"

"Oh?" Teacher Jiang was somewhat surprised, "Does your teacher feel the same way?!"

With a huge shadow cast over her heart, Teacher Zhen had no choice but to speak up.

"I never expected it, but Bai Xue turns out to be a music theory and instrument-playing genius!"

She’s only been learning for a few days! Yet she already plays quite convincingly! Unlike her...

As Zhen Yu had her own guqin learning experience for comparison, she realized on the very first day of teaching that Bai Xue was picking it up incredibly quickly! Almost everything Zhen Yu explained, Bai Xue understood; everything she taught, Bai Xue learned!

This stunned Zhen Yu so much that she immediately whipped out the Data Detector!

With one scan, Zhen Yu discovered that Bai Xue’s data was more extraordinary than anyone she had ever measured!

Name: Bai Xue

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Mental State: Normal

Physical Health: Healthy

Significant Talents/Potential

Social Skills: *****

Appreciation: ***

Eloquence: ***

Musical Instrument Theories: *********

——

"Genius?!" Teacher Jiang looked at Zhen Yu in astonishment, expressing some doubt at her use of the term. "Is that what the teacher who taught Bai Xue the guqin said as well?!"

Until this moment, Teacher Jiang still hadn’t discovered Zhen Yu’s identity as a guqin teacher.

So Zhen Yu had no choice but to reveal her role: "I’m the one teaching Bai Xue the guqin."

Of course! It wasn’t completely her own doing!

Because Zhen Yu was afraid she might lead Bai Xue, this sprouting genius, astray, she had He Baihe help her purchase a PAD! Then every time she taught Bai Xue, she would record it, and by means of trade, pass the PAD to Su Xuan for review!

And Su Xuan’s opinion was the same as Zhen Yu’s! Bai Xue did indeed have an extraordinary ability to learn and understand musical instruments! As well as the music theory knowledge that Zhen Yu was teaching at the same time...

Zhen Yu still remembers the PAD that Su Xuan traded back, where a costumed beauty said with excitement: "Sister Zhen! Rest assured and leave Sister Bai to me! I will definitely impart all my knowledge to her without holding back! She’s the one who can help me adapt your modern music into ancient scores!"

Thus, Zhen Yu, the ’matchmaker’, was tossed over the wall just like that!

Although she can still occasionally give Bai Xue some pointers now, Zhen Yu believes that in the near future! Zhen Yu would probably just need to pass the PAD back and forth and help Bai Xue with recordings...

——

"You taught her?! When did you learn the guqin? How long have you been learning?"

Teacher Jiang suddenly switched to an intense interrogative mode.

"Uh... I’ve only been learning for a few months..." Zhen Yu suddenly felt very guilty as she answered. She also knew that she was not truly qualified to teach, but her initial thought was—there’s a backer behind this!

"Nonsense!"

Teacher Jiang’s smiling face suddenly turned into a smirk, scaring Bai Xue enough to shrink her neck! She thought to herself: "Oh no! Teacher Jiang is angry!"

"With your skills, do you think Bai Xue can pass the special talent exam in three years?!"

"Can... ah, can’t!" Zhen Yu corrected herself promptly and against her will.

"Taking the special talent route can indeed give Bai Xue an advantage in the academic exams, but if that special talent isn’t truly special, isn’t it just the same as failing?!"

Although Teacher Jiang’s voice was neither soft nor loud, and he did not specifically reprimand anyone, the three students, including Han Mingyue, all immediately acted like quails—none dared to show off!

Bai Xue was even more exaggerated in her mind, calling for help, "Mommy! Teacher Cao, save me!"

Luckily, the three students hadn’t really done anything wrong, they had just not considered everything thoroughly. So Teacher Jiang didn’t go any deeper and directly turned to ask: "Cao Heizi! Besides the music teacher of the fourth company, do you know anyone in Qi City who can play an instrument?!"

"I really don’t know anyone who plays the guqin! This instrument is new to me! But there is someone who plays the erhu!"

"I have a relative who plays the flute!"

Zhen Yu and Bai Xue were looking at each other, when Teacher Jiang finished his brief chat with Cao Yong and suddenly turned to Bai Xue saying, "Wait until I contact Teacher Cao and make arrangements, next weekend you’ll follow us to become an apprentice!"
