Chapter 9, The Treasures of the Divine Sound System

It's quite good! It's just that sometimes I often see Grandpa Qin lost in thought by himself. However, most of the time he is with me, teaching me to play the piano

After a long while, Nina's emotions gradually calmed down. She glared fiercely at Ye Yinzhu and said: "After all these years, he hasn't come to find me himself, yet he sends you. What does he mean by that? I thought he had long forgotten me. What does he want you to do? Is it for this Sea Moon Clear Radiance Guqin?"

Unconsciously, Ye Yin Zhu forgot the presence of others and walked step by step towards the guqin, as if something was pulling at his heart. As he drew closer, he could see the strings shimmering with a faint blue light and the thirteen inlays made of pearls, resembling thirteen miniature bright moons, harmoniously resting on the instrument.

She was a tall and beautiful woman, appearing to be slightly older than Xueling and Lanxi. Her noble demeanor exuded a hint of pride, and beneath her school uniform, her long legs were the most attention-grabbing feature

With a sudden bite of his tongue, he cleared his muddled mind slightly. A pale yellow light enveloped his body. In a swift motion, Ye Yinzhu's body, propelled by a fantastical rhythm, had already circled around Nina. The dark red light blazed intensely as both hands, with eight fingers, simultaneously glided over the seven shimmering strings of the zither. A series of bright, mixed zither notes, accompanied by a swirling resonance, forcefully interrupted the next sound of the flute before it could resonate.

Director Nina led them into the first floor's classroom for mental magic instruction. This is a much larger classroom, with a total of one hundred seats. The walls of the classroom are made of special materials, facilitating the surround sound of music

What a wonderful place! No wonder it is so expensive

This time it was Nina who was surprised, "One third. What you said is inaccurate; it should take effect only after reaching one half. Unless the strength is at the blue level or above."

Early the next morning, Yin Zhu got out of bed very early. Su La was already gone, and on the table, there was a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge, clearly prepared as breakfast for him. Although the breakfast was simple, it made Yin Zhu feel very warm. Su La, though somewhat money-minded, was quite skilled in both cleaning and cooking. The three gold coins spent were worth it.

The Department of Divine Sound is situated in a highly favorable location within the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy, featuring an elegant and exquisite four-story white building. To the left of the building lies a small lake covering approximately one thousand square meters, while the other directions are surrounded by vegetation, with only a few pathways leading from different directions to the main building. Behind the main building is the dormitory for the Department of Divine Sound, consisting of uniquely designed white villas. Naturally, those wishing to reside here must pay a separate accommodation fee, which is also exceedingly expensive.

When Yinzhu turned around, he saw that yesterday's department head, Grandma Nina, had somehow already arrived by his side

Alright, I have made my decision. If you cannot lead the Divine Sound Department to win a match this time, your tuition will be doubled in the future

At this point, Nina appeared somewhat melancholic, letting out a sigh, "Perhaps our Divine Sound Department should not be classified within the realm of magic. Almost every student came here out of a love for music. Due to our lack of offensive capabilities, although we are ostensibly the top department at Milan Magic Martial Academy, the attitude of students and teachers from other departments has always been one of disdain towards us. Although the incident instigated by Ye Yinzhu was coincidental, I also wish to use this opportunity to let other departments know that our Divine Sound Department is not without merit. You bear the honor of the Divine Sound Department."

Peacock Road: "Rendering within music through mental power, evoking resonance in others"

When the lonely starlight transforms like a string of beads, and the waves return to their final curve, I stand by the qin under the moonlight. Do you know that I have waited for far too long

The mysterious path of Lan Xi: "One must not inquire. The identities of every student in the Divine Sound Department are highly confidential. After all, the relationships among the various nations on the continent are not very harmonious. Here, everyone is merely a student"

Nina's anger faded, replaced by a bright smile. "Yinzhu, be a good girl and tell Grandma Nina where your master is! As long as you tell me, Grandma will give you this Haiyue Qinghui guqin, okay? This is one of the most renowned guqins of our time, no less than those you lost. Back then, your master asked me for it, but I didn't give it to him."

Ye Yin Zhu helplessly said: "Cute does not seem to be a term used to describe men"

Nina stood on the podium, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the new students, and the classroom instantly fell silent

Xueling was leaning out of the second-floor window, looking outside, and she happened to see Yeyin Zhu running from a distance

Yin Zhu's answer was very simple, yet it caused Nina's expression to turn astonished

I don't know. Grandpa Qin said I still have a long way to go. Grandma Nina, your emotional fluctuations are too great; this is not good for a divine sound master, is it

A joke. Can't he teach himself? With his level as a divine sound master, does he still need to come here to learn from you?

Explosive Sound, a wave of sound that bursts forth in an instant, with a sharp penetrating power. It is equivalent to the instant-cast magic of mages from other schools. This ability can only be wielded by Sound Masters after reaching the Green level. Yin Zhu is still one tier away from using Explosive Sound.

Ye Yin Zhu recalled the words spoken to him by Qin Shang when he left the Azure Sea, saying: "Indeed! Grandfather Qin asked me to deliver a letter to the head of the Divine Sound Department, which should be you, right"

Good, ambitious, you truly are a disciple of Qin Shang. However, here you must listen to me. With you as a variable, I need to rethink the tactics for the competition; we will discuss it later. Oh, by the way, do not let anyone know that your qin magic is different from that of ordinary sound masters. The more others underestimate you, the more advantageous it will be.

As she spoke, she handed the sea moonlight back to Ye Yinzhu.

Nina frowned and said, "Do you think you can surpass the ocean? Peacock, if you cannot prioritize the team's victory, then you need not participate in this freshman competition."

Nina let out a sigh of relief, but immediately afterward, she gritted her teeth, "That bastard, he doesn't come to find me even though we're not married. Am I really that terrifying? Bastard, what a complete bastard. Tell me, where is he?"

She brought Ye Yin Zhu directly to the second floor, to the classroom for first-year students.

Ye Yinzhu looked reluctantly at the Haizhu Qinghui in her arms, took a deep breath, and presented the guqin to Nina, saying, "Then I will not take it. I cannot go against Grandpa Qin's words."

Yinzhu then realized just how terrifying this Grandma Nina was. Adhering to the principle of not speaking further to avoid trouble, he grimaced and remained silent. Xueling chuckled beside him, saying, "You look so adorable when you're at a loss."

At that moment, in the innermost part of the classroom, a young girl stood up and said, "Director Nina, I would like to participate as well"

Nina snorted, "In the academy, you need to be mindful of your words in the future. I heard that you accepted a challenge from a new student of the Wind System yesterday and will participate in this new student competition?"

You may leave first. I still need to help these girls select some equipment. Please do not lose these three items I am giving you. The magical robe is called the Moon Goddess Guardian Robe, a magical item produced by the Elven race. It possesses the Elemental Shield skill and an additional self-cleaning water magic, ensuring it will never be stained by any dirt. The Elemental Shield releases a varying range based on the user's mental strength and can be used three times a day, providing good resistance against both physical and magical attacks

Nina asked

A strange look flashed in Sula's eyes as she sighed, "What a pity. Well, you must be hungry. I will go prepare a meal so you can sample my cooking, to prove that your three gold coins were not spent in vain"

Nina's complexion instantly turned pale, and her body swayed as if she were about to fall

Nina's figure appeared before Ye Yin Zhu, blocking his gaze. Having lost sight of the qin, Ye Yin Zhu suddenly awakened from his obsession. He saw Nina's vacant expression.

Nina angrily grabbed the sea moonlight. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her mind, and the anger in her eyes instantly vanished. Well, Qin Shang, you said you wouldn't come looking for me? Fine! Your disciple is here; if you don't show up, I will hold him captive and see if you come.

Ye Yin Zhu shook his head and said, "No, this is not good. I cannot let a girl be my shield. Grandma Nina, I believe I can handle it myself."

Xue Ling was the first to raise her hand. Lan Xi subsequently expressed her intention to participate

It is not for you; it is merely to enable you to contribute to the new student competition for the Divine Sound System. The necklace is called the Mind Guardian, specifically designed to protect mental strength, which will be beneficial for your daily training. In the event of an attack by mental magic, it can safeguard your mental essence, preventing you from becoming an idiot. The Life Guardian bracelet can summon absolute defense once a day. Although it is absolute defense, it is still quite dangerous if the opponent's attack exceeds the purple level; you should ponder this yourself.

It is well known across the mainland that the tuition fees of Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy are as high as its teaching quality

Ye Yinzhu said with a hint of anger. At this moment, the guqin that had just been there was unknowingly embraced in his arms, and the feeling of a blood connection between the qin mage and the guqin made Ye Yinzhu reluctant to let it go.

Nina suddenly realized what she had just done; in a moment of emotional turmoil, she had unleashed a loud outburst. It would be troublesome if this caused irreparable psychological trauma to these children

Ye Yin Zhu was overjoyed; what he lacked the most now were money and a piano, and he had just acquired both.

The peacock proudly raised her chest, and it must be acknowledged that her figure is indeed the best among this year's freshmen

According to the introduction on the map in hand, this four-story building has a classroom for mental magic on the first floor, while the remaining three floors are classrooms for students.

Hello, Director Nina... oh, no, Director Nina.

A chant similar to the one before arose, and a hexagonal gem appeared in her palm without her noticing. A layer of purple aura illuminated after the gem was embedded in the door. A suffocating wave of magical energy instantly erupted, causing the bodies of Ye Yinzhu and the other three to stiffen momentarily

Oh, good

Saying this, he quickly dashed out.

Purple jade cold flute, a solitary silhouette standing tall alongside the jade strings and luminous pearls, where are you now?

Director Nina, Senior Ocean said yesterday that she would take us to participate in the competition. We just need one more person.

There was another person who was stunned, and that was Nina. Accompanied by four new students, she entered the treasure of the Department of Divine Sound. Just as she turned around, she saw Ye Yin Zhu's gaze filled with obsession, witnessing him uncontrollably approaching the ancient zither. At that moment, her heart seemed to freeze, and a strong pain instantaneously surged from the depths of her heart to every inch of her skin. The previously imposing Director Nina was, at that moment, trembling. Her heart seemed to freeze at that moment, and a strong pain instantaneously surged from the depths of her heart to every inch of her skin. The previously imposing Director Nina was, at that moment, trembling.

Where is the letter

The classroom is quite large, capable of accommodating forty students, yet this year's new students, along with Ye Yinzhu, number only twelve. At this moment, everyone has arrived, but the classroom still appears somewhat empty. Nina pointed and indicated for Yinzhu to find a seat.

Nina said: "Indeed. Through our music, mental power can be released on a large scale. The Sound Mage can be said to be the only type of magician whose magic is entirely area-based. Moreover, music is omnipresent and cannot be resisted by any form of protection, unless one is outside the range of the sound. As long as we possess sufficient mental power, we can use music to control our opponent's emotions. At that point, the balance of victory and defeat will be without any doubt. In the same level of competition, only the mental-type magicians' mental power can compare with ours, while magicians of other types have no chance at all. As long as we possess sufficient mental power, we can use music to control our opponent's emotions. At that point, the balance of victory and defeat will be without any doubt. In the same level of competition, only the mental-type magicians' mental power can compare with ours, while magicians of other types have no chance at all. Ye Yinzhu, tell me, what are the shortcomings of the Sound Mage?"

As a melodious tune resonated in the classroom, the hexagram before Nina silently split apart, revealing a wide passageway. The passage extended diagonally downward, and Ye Yinzhu and the other three, astonished, followed Nina into this unknown place

After walking forward for a hundred meters, a large door intricately carved with ancient patterns blocked their path. Nina stopped and said softly, "When you return, forget everything you saw today"

An intangible majesty emanated from her, causing the proud peacock to momentarily falter

Grandma Nina, please don't

Nina snorted and said, "My affairs are none of your business. How ridiculous! That little girl from the Wind Department actually dared to provoke you. Little does she know that you are the true genius. At just sixteen or seventeen, you have already reached the high-level Huang rank as a Sound Master, and you excel in the arena as well. Ye Yinzhu, listen to me carefully: no matter what, in this upcoming freshman competition, you must lead the Sound Department to achieve a good result. If you can make it to the finals, then, in my capacity as the head of the Sound Department, I will help you apply for a scholarship, exempting you from all future tuition fees, and you will also have the use of this Haiyue Qinghui Qin for as long as you need."

A mournful sound of the xiao, filled with a hint of anger and endless longing, pierced the air and lingered for a long time. A blue light, centered around Nina, instantly illuminated the entire treasure vault. Tears quietly slid down Nina's face.

Lan Xi hesitated and said: "But, Director Nina, can we really win? Our magical music..."

What do you have to justify this

Lan Xi chuckled and said, "This is true; it is status rather than strength. At our most formidable time in the Divine Sound Department, we had nine princesses from various countries simultaneously, and naturally, our status was the highest among all departments. This first department truly deserves its name."

What is going on?

To excel in one's work, one must first sharpen one's tools. I have brought you here to select a few pieces of equipment. This is the first time the Divine Sound Department is participating in the Freshman Competition, and we must not suffer a complete defeat

Ye Yin Zhu was unaware that the news of the Divine Sound Department participating in this freshman competition had already spread like wildfire, becoming common knowledge among everyone. He had inadvertently become a celebrity within the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy.

Nina shot him a glare and said, "Don't think it's easy. Don't forget, the Sound Master has little offensive capability. Just follow the arrangement I made earlier, but change the main attack from Ocean to you"

Ye Yin Zhu's situation is not much better; his mental strength is far inferior to Nina's. Moreover, being the closest to her, he is most able to perceive her current state of mind. An indescribable pain fills his heart, and his complexion turns pale. Fortunately, the clarity of his innocent and pure heart supports him, preventing him from becoming lost in the sound of the flute.

Praise the law of blue! You are not running a fever, are you

Ye Yin Zhu gazed at Nina with clear and tranquil eyes

Ye Yin Zhu has indeed learned from experience, as she has refrained from arguing with Nina regarding the *illustrated* books and has changed her stance.

From the elemental fluctuations emanating from these three items, Ye Yin Zhu could also discern that they were exceptionally valuable treasures

Upon hearing Nina's words, Yin Zhu could not help but feel overjoyed; three hundred gold coins would be sufficient for his expenses for quite a long time, not to mention the musical instruments. However, before he could fully rejoice, he heard Nina continue, "Except for Ye Yin Zhu, as a new student, he had a conflict with students from other departments on the first day of school, and his encouragement to participate in the competition has been revoked as punishment"

Ye Yin Zhu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but for more than ten years, Grandpa Qin has been alone."

Nina's expression changed repeatedly, her emotions fluctuating intensely as she gazed at the Sea Moonlight Qinhai in Yinzhu's hands, remaining silent for a long time.

There is.

He stretched his body vigorously, and the bamboo energy flowed slowly, bringing a comfortable and pleasant sensation that spread through every meridian of his body. Cultivating the night energy and meditation simultaneously had long become his habit. Ye Yin Zhu touched his right wrist and murmured to himself, "Fortunately, it hasn't been lost"

The material of the school uniform is quite good, and when Yinzhu wears it, it gives off a sense of elegance and vigor. The academy is relatively considerate; when the school uniforms were distributed yesterday, Yinzhu also received an internal map of the campus. Fortunately, having this map allowed him to successfully locate the position of his department, the Department of Divine Sound.

In the freshman competition, the contestants selected from each department generally possess magical abilities ranging from high-level Red to low-level Yellow. The team leader, a senior from the previous year, will not exceed high-level Yellow. Therefore, as long as you can resolve the timing issue of the music and with Haiyang's leadership, you have a complete opportunity to succeed. Even if there are mages whose strength is one or two levels higher than Haiyang, it is still difficult for them to surpass her in terms of mental strength. Thus, in the competition, you will need to engage your opponents in a team battle format. Your task as a group of four is to hold back the opponents before Haiyang's music can take effect, preventing them from interfering with her.

Nina looked at the speaking Xueling with some surprise, "The ocean is also going to participate? Alright, then we still need one more person"

Yin Zhu, here

Nina, in a fit of rage, was becoming increasingly indiscriminate in her words. As she recalled the explosive sound she had just unleashed, Ye Yinzhu began to understand more clearly why those female students were so afraid of her.

You no longer need to conceal it. With my level of spiritual power, if you are not practicing the same string magic as Qin Shang, it would be impossible for you to withstand it with mere red-level strength. No wonder you were able to remain unaffected by the ocean's zither music that day and even performed a duet with her; it turns out you are just like that bastard, where the red magical power represents not the third tier, but the ninth tier.

Nina asked eagerly, taking a few steps to stand in front of Ye Yinzhu, her breathing noticeably becoming uneven

Nina appeared somewhat shy when she asked this question

Ye Yin Zhu's gaze was directed to the left, for there he saw a guqin, the only one in the entire treasure of the Divine Sound Department. Its chestnut-colored lacquer, flowing water-like patterns, and a layer of lustrous sheen seemed to emanate an air of solitary pride. Among all the instruments displayed, it occupied a central position, while the surrounding instruments were positioned far away from it, resembling subjects guarding their sovereign.

Nina was taken aback, and her complexion improved somewhat. "Did he send you to find me?"

Yin Zhu said earnestly, "Unfortunately, my zither, along with the spatial ring, was lost on the way; otherwise, I could play a piece for you right now"

Is that true? That's wonderful

Nina said: "First of all, as the head of the Department of Divine Sound, I would like to welcome you all on behalf of the department. Regardless of why you chose the Department of Divine Sound, now that you are here, I hope you will complete your studies in the coming academic journey. Formal classes will begin in one week, as you may already know. This is because the annual freshman competition will be held in three days. Other departments are selecting candidates for the competition during these three days, but our Department of Divine Sound is an exception. This is because the annual freshman competition will be held in three days. Other departments are selecting candidates for the competition during these three days, but our Department of Divine Sound is an exception. However, student Ye Yinzhu has already registered on behalf of our Department of Divine Sound yesterday, and I would like to know who is willing to participate with him. If there are not five people, our Department of Divine Sound will not even qualify to compete."

No, I will not be a cannon fodder. As a noble Sound Master, I will never be a cannon fodder

Hastily putting away the purple jade cold flute in his hand, he quickly walked over to the three girls, releasing a faint wave of mental energy, probing their condition through the contact of his hand

Ah! And you? What is your identity?

Ye Yin Zhu tentatively asked, "Oh, I apologize, Director Nina, I have addressed you incorrectly again"

At almost the same moment, the three women of Lan Xichen, who had just been captivated by the brilliance of the gemstones, fell to the ground simultaneously, their eyes filled with pain, tears flowing uncontrollably down their faces, as if their hearts were being torn apart by the mournful sound of the xiao.

The bright moon's azure hue, like a pile, inadvertently fills my brows and heart with thoughts.

Yesterday, through a conversation with Sula, Ye Yinzhu learned from the library that the red and white stripes on the school uniform have a specific meaning. A pair of red and white stripes represents first-year students. The Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy has a five-year program. Of course, students must pass exams each semester to advance. Otherwise, they must remain in their current grade and start over. All graduates from the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy must at least reach the advanced yellow level.

It lies in the timing of performing the music. Generally speaking, for a divine musician, the music must progress to one-third of its duration before the effects of the mental energy infused into the music can manifest. In comparison to the incantations of other types of magicians and instant spells, this is rather slow

Lost

Ye Yin Zhu shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know either. Grandpa Qin just told me to bring a message and didn't say what for. Perhaps it's to have me come as a student."

Has he gotten married or not

It is so similar, truly too similar. He is exactly like the one who first arrived here. Neither is deceived by the gems, and the same discerning eye is solely focused on the qin.

Haha, hahaha. This is truly wonderful; heaven has granted me such a great opportunity, how could I let it slip away? Hmph, you old fellows from the other departments, this time I will show you what a true Sound Master is. The Freshman Competition will undoubtedly tremble because of our Sound Department. Here you go.

Do you have confidence in that

A hint of a smile appeared on Nina's aged face, "Alright, just two more to go"

I am a Sound Master, and of course, I rely on my own musical magic

Just now, Grandma Nina said that our Divine Sound Department is the top department of Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy. Is that really true? Don't the other departments say that we are just a side dish?

This is the original statement that Qin Shang told him, which Yin Zhu remembers very well

Ye Yin Zhu shook his head and said: "No, I am Master Qin's disciple"

It took Yin Zhu nearly an hour to run from the mixed dormitory to the Department of Shen Yin. He did not mind at all, considering it a way to exercise his body

Grandma Nina, this is too precious

Do you not have faith in me either? In fact, we, the Divine Sound Masters, are not entirely useless

Nina let out a sigh of relief, her tense expression relaxing considerably. Fortunately, the three girls had a solid foundation in mental strength, and with her outburst being interrupted in time by Ye Yinzhu, although they experienced some mental shock, it was not a significant issue. After resting for a while, they would be able to recover.

At present, Ye Yinzhu recounted in detail the incident where her kind act of giving to a beggar resulted in her spatial ring being stolen

Nina interrupted her, saying lightly: "All along, almost everyone has thought that sound mages are useless. In fact, they are mistaken. A true sound mage is immensely powerful, even the strongest among mental magic users. It is just that the cultivation is exceedingly difficult, which is why very few people know this secret. On the continent, there was a sound mage who, relying solely on his own strength, defeated six other magic users from different schools at the same time. In simple terms, apart from mental magic users, we sound mages are almost the nemesis of all other magic users. Can anyone tell me what the meaning of a sound mage is?"

Suddenly turning around, Nina's gaze became sharp, "Ye Yinzhu, tell me, what is your relationship with Qin Shang?"

Ye Yin Zhu nodded. From Nina's ability to recognize his skills and her entanglement with Qin Shang, he had already come to trust the elderly Nina before him, saying: "Grandpa Qin said I am about to enter the initial stage of Sword and Heart. However, breaking through the bottleneck requires both opportunity and time"

Yin Zhu nodded slightly

Nina sighed and said, "If you encounter any trouble at the academy in the future, just come to me. Since your master has entrusted you to me, I will take good care of you. Come, follow me."

Are you about to break through to the initial stage of Sword Courage and Zither Heart? Nina was taken aback, "So, you mean to say that you currently possess the cultivation equivalent to a high-level Yellow-grade Divine Sound Master?"

She led Ye Yin Zhu to the shelf on the right side of the treasure vault, took down a set of white magical robes from the top position, and stuffed them into Ye Yin Zhu's arms. Then she took him to the shelf where the gemstones were placed, retrieved a bracelet and a necklace from above, and gave them to him

Sula's movements were indeed swift; in no time, lunch was ready. There were two dishes and steamed buns. The dishes were ordinary greens, and there wasn't even a hint of meat, yet Yin Zhu was surprised to find that Sula's culinary skills were truly exceptional. The simple greens he prepared were full of color, aroma, and flavor. Having grown up eating bamboo shoots, he naturally preferred light flavors and was not picky at all, finding the meal extraordinarily delicious. Thus, the legendary Qin Emperor Ye Yin Zhu shared his first lunch with the Dark Night King Sula.

"Grandma Nina, I cannot say. When I left, Grandpa Qin specifically instructed me not to disclose his whereabouts to anyone who inquires."

Gazing across the horizon, it is the moonlight on the sea dyed by longing, the scenes in my heart that cannot be erased, perhaps there is still a trace of sorrow that is hard to dissipate.

At the top of the corridor, every ten meters is embedded a milky-white wizard, emanating a soft glow from hetushu.com. The air here is very dry, and there is no sense of oppression despite gradually descending towards the ground

Director Nina, I am willing

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Nina's eyes

Grandma Nina, are you alright

It seems so

Bastard. Let me know who that thief is, and I will kill him

Ah?

The door opens inward, revealing a room of approximately fifty square meters. Aside from the direction of the door, the other three walls are adorned with numerous grids, crafted from an unknown material that blends seamlessly with the walls. The left wall features various musical instruments displayed in the grids, their ancient styles indicating their long history. The right wall showcases magical robes, wands, and even magical armor and weapons. The wall opposite the entrance contains the most grids, filled with gemstones and magical gems. The thick, almost viscous waves of magical energy emanate from these hundreds of gems. This place is practically a small treasure trove. Upon entering, aside from Ye Yinzhu, Lan Xi, Xue Ling, and the peacock were immediately captivated by the gemstones in front of them, their eyes sparkling with excitement. Even the proud peacock could not conceal the overwhelming enchantment in her beautiful eyes.

Yin Zhu responded with a sound

Upon entering the teaching building, Yin Zhu's first impression was that this place resembled a palace rather than an academy. The resplendent decorations, adorned with numerous plants, did not appear gaudy. Although it was not yet class time, the sounds of musical instruments could be heard intermittently throughout the building.

At this moment, Yin Zhu's mental strength had just recovered after the shock, and for a moment, he was unable to react.

Ye Yin Zhu left as per Nina's instructions. Watching his departing figure, tears welled up in Nina's eyes. "You big jerk, the three-piece set of the God’s Guardian that you didn’t want, I gave it to your disciple. Do you know? At that time, this was the token of love I had prepared to give to you..."

This time, the classroom fell silent. Seeing that no one else spoke, Nina said softly: "Our Sound Magic Department has always been the top department of Milan Magic Martial Academy. However, behind the title of the top department, there are countless people who say we are merely mediocre magicians. Since this time it was Student Ye Yinzhu who proposed to participate in the Freshman Competition, regardless of the outcome, I hope you all can defend the dignity of the Sound Magic Department. For all participating students, on behalf of the Sound Magic Department, I will present each of you with an instrument and three hundred gold coins."

Lan Xi's lowered voice sounded in Yin Zhu's ear, "Her name is Kong Que, and her instrument is the pipa. It seems she is at the advanced level of the red rank, stronger than both me and Xue Ling."

How much of your grandfather Qin's skills have you learned

Once she understood, Nina's thoughts became lively. She glanced at the bamboo flutes above and below and asked, "To what level have you cultivated your musical magic? Feel free to speak openly; I am an old friend of your grandfather Qin, and I know almost everything about him. The levels of your cultivation are different from those of ordinary divine musicians, divided into three parts, each with nine tiers, correct"

Yin Zhu sat down next to Lan Xi without any hesitation, causing Lan Xi to blush. In fact, it was not that he had any special feelings for Lan Xi; it was mainly because Lan Xi, like him, was a piano student, and he himself did not have a piano.

Tonight, the xiao is still present

The sparkle in Nina's eyes indicated that she had clearly already devised this tactic

Sula extended his hand to touch Ye Yinzhu's forehead. His hand was small, but his fingers were long and cool, bringing a very pleasant sensation to Ye Yinzhu's forehead.

Surprisingly, this time Nina did not fly into a rage when he called her "grandma"; instead, her aged face showed a hint of blush. "From now on, you can call me Grandma Nina. How is he doing?"

Ah?

A long purple flute fell into her hands, a faint chill emanating from its body. Nina murmured to herself: "The fragrance of the long flute drifts, clouds fly without a trace, the sound of birds chirps at her slender fingertips.

Yin Zhu let out a mournful cry. Unconsciously, he once again touched Nina's reverse scale.

Director Nina clapped her hands and said, "In the days leading up to the official start of the course, others may arrange activities as they wish. You four, come with me."

Nina lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Alright. In that case, follow me."

You... you little fool raised by this big jerk

Yin Zhu murmured to herself.

How could she know that, as a practitioner with a pure and innocent heart, Yinzhu's guqin melodies only need to be played to one-third to produce an effect

Grandpa Qin is not a jerk

Nina walked to the wall behind the podium, which was adorned with a magical hexagram, extended her right hand, and pressed it against the center of the hexagram. A series of deep chants filled the air with rhythm, yet Ye Yinzhu and the others could not discern what Nina was chanting. A strong azure light emanated from her hand, instantly enveloping the hexagram in a brilliant blue hue. This was at least a symbol of a mid-level mage. To cultivate a Sound Mage to such an extent, it is likely that there are very few across the entire continent.

Grandfather Qin? Are you his grandson?
