“Your talisman…” Xue Ling looked at Jiang Li’s talisman, her eyes flashing, but her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
She thought the talisman she drew was good enough.
But after seeing Jiang Li's talisman, she realized that her own talisman was far inferior.
Laymen might not be able to tell the difference, but she knows the difference between counterfeit and genuine products.
That feeling can't be faked.
"What?" Jiang Li asked, seeing that Xue Ling didn't seem inclined to continue. "Do you think my talisman is bad?"
"No...no..." Xue Ling shook her head, gave Jiang Li a forced smile, and said honestly, "Your talisman is very spiritual, which I can't compare to."
“Miss Xue is too kind. The talismans of the Xuanmen Little Ancestor are exceptionally effective and extremely rare.” Jiang Li sighed again, her tone resolute and certain, “My talismans cannot possibly be better than those of the Xuanmen Little Ancestor. Please don’t be modest.”
The talismans she and the young ancestor of the Xuanmen sect could draw were at most just as good.
How could someone be better than me?
"Please don't flatter me." Xue Ling looked embarrassed. "My talisman is just so-so compared to yours. It's really impossible for it to be better than yours. Please don't flatter me."
"No, no..." Jiang Li said, taking out her phone and searching for Xuanmen Xiaozuzong's Weibo. She scrolled down to see the comments, "These are all active fans. The comments from fans are the most genuine. Peach blossom talismans, good luck talismans, all kinds of talismans have brought great benefits to your fans. Whether the talismans are drawn well or not is not important. What's important is..."
Jiang Li paused for a moment, then continued, "It has to be effective!"
“You’re right,” Xue Ling said, bowing her head.
She originally came to this show to crush Jiang Li.
But now...
She seemed to be constantly hampered by Jiang Li, and had no way to fight back.
Faced with genuine talent, how could she dare to expose her shortcomings?
then……
Xue Ling smiled again and conceded defeat, saying, "In terms of drawing talismans, I am indeed no match for Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang is very skilled, and I humbly admit defeat."
Jiang Li blinked her eyes, "No, please don't give up so easily. If you give up, it won't be fun anymore. Others are waiting for us to fight."
“Aren’t there other teachers?” Xue Ling smiled gently. “I admit that I’m not as good as you at writing and drawing talismans, but I can’t be completely bad at everything, can I?”
“That makes sense.” Jiang Li nodded. “In that case, shall we move on to the next item?”
"good."
Seeing this, the director couldn't help but say, "That's right, there's more than one thing to compete in. There are teachers waiting here too. But... are you all... that good? Don't you need to learn a bit before you compete?"
Before Jiang Li could speak, Xue Ling said with a smile, "Since we already know it, it would be a waste of time to learn it again. It's better to have a competition so as not to delay the teachers from teaching the other guests."
This statement is reasonable and well-founded, and it's easy for it to win people's favor.
She is capable, good-looking, and very understanding.
This is very pleasing.
"What would Miss Xue like to compete in?" Jiang Li asked curiously. "You choose, I'll listen to you."
"I'm good at several kinds of traditional musical instruments, so how about..." Xue Ling smiled, looking innocent, "we compete against each other one by one?"
"Okay." Jiang Li had no objections. "Whatever makes you happy."
Anyway, she had nothing to be afraid of.
Guqin, Pipa, Dizi, Xiao, Guzheng...
All of these are available.
Jiang Li casually picked up a flute and played with it in her hand, then gestured with her chin towards Xue Ling, "Would you like to start?"
Xue Ling nodded, "Okay, I'll start. I'll play a piece called Guangling San first."
Guangling San is a famous guqin piece, and most people familiar with the guqin will know this piece.
Xue Ling had indeed studied the guqin for several years, so her skill level made Liu Xi stand up involuntarily.
This level is far superior to many of her students.
"Miss Xue, you play the guqin so well. Would you like to further your studies in this area?" After Xue Ling finished playing, Liu Xi said excitedly, her eyes shining and her tone full of confidence, "I can assure you that as long as you study with me, you will definitely have a place on the guqin stage in the future."
Xue Ling was somewhat pleased by the praise, but she still lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Teacher Liu, you shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly. After all, Miss Jiang hasn't even started yet, has she? If her level is higher than mine, wouldn't it be a loss to miss out on a better student if you ask me to learn from you too early?"
Xue Ling pretended to be modest, but in her heart she felt that Jiang Li was definitely no match for her.
I'm sure I'll embarrass Jiang Li later.
Liu Xi had no ulterior motives; she simply admired talent.
Xue Ling is right, so it's best for her to wait and see.
So she said, "Alright, then so be it. But regardless of whether Miss Jiang's skill level is higher than yours, I sincerely want you to continue learning the guqin from me."
After the two finished their conversation, Jiang Li sat down in Xue Ling's original seat.
She plucked the strings with her fingers, then frowned and looked at Xue Ling, "Don't you ever tune the piano before you play?"
"Miss Jiang, do you not understand the guqin?" Xue Ling retorted veiledly, mocking Jiang Li for pretending to know what she didn't. "This guqin has already been tuned. Are you questioning Teacher Liu's skill level by saying that?"
"I wouldn't dare say that," Jiang Li chuckled. "It's just that the pitch is a little different from what I like."
After saying that, Jiang Li ignored Xue Ling's secretly annoyed look and casually began to tune the guqin.
Just as the viewers in the live stream were criticizing Jiang Li for showing off, Jiang Li slowly withdrew her hand.
She adjusted her posture and sat up straight, casually plucking the strings with her hands, and a melodious sound poured out from them.
Even though it's just a string of notes, it gives people a feeling of heavenly music.
It is exceptionally ethereal and beautiful.
Liu Xi looked at Jiang Li, and the light in her eyes instantly turned fervent.
This level...
Even she can't compare.
Xue Ling clenched her hands uncontrollably.
Who exactly is this Jiang Li?
They even know how to play the guqin!
Before she could figure it out, Jiang Li casually played a tune.
She just hadn't heard of it.
No, none of the people present had heard of it.
The music was so captivating that it made one's thoughts drift along with it.
In an instant, it felt as if I had arrived in a mountain forest, watching the babbling brook and listening to the birdsong and cicada chirping...
The fresh air rushed towards me, giving me a feeling of transcending the mundane world and cleansing my soul.
Gradually...
The scenery blurred, but a sense of Zen appeared in everyone's eyes and hearts...
That tasted wonderful.
Jiang Li played casually, and when she stopped...
The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room were stunned for a long time...
