After all, these skills to please patrons... huh.
Yeah, that’s basically it.
The simplest example is Yun Qian. She will also have to learn the Six Arts for Won in the future, which will consu quite a bit of ti, and compared to Miss Lu, she will start much slower.
"By the way," Miss Lu’s lovely face beca even redder. She cautiously glanced at Yun Qian and said softly, "Muyu... Morning Clouds and Evening Rain, right."
"Yes."
"Fairy Wen, pardon my disrespect, but this Morning Clouds and Evening Rain... is it really what Ms. Zhu said it ant?"
Wen Li tilted her head, then looked at the still dazed Zhu Pingniang and said, "Indeed, didn’t Master explain it clearly to you?"
Having grown up on Muyu Peak since childhood, Wen Li naturally didn’t find anything wrong with it.
And to be honest, apart from matters between n and won she didn’t understand, she had long been accustod to the sham relationship between fake phoenixes and virtual dragons. She understood it thoroughly, and after she beca a master, the pair of girls would invite her to parties.
"Ms. Zhu did ntion it, but..." Miss Lu gently patted her flushed cheeks.
A dignified Immortal Sect openly discussing matters between n and won seems sowhat inappropriate, right? If all the won who arrived were as alluring as Zhu Pingniang, that would be one thing. But in truth, neither the innocent Zhu Pingniang nor Wen Li had any trace of ’Hehuan’.
"I apologize for my rudeness." Miss Lu ca back to her senses, realizing that her persistence in the sect’s na was not very good.
Wen Li didn’t mind, she rather found it interesting that Miss Lu, who was from a brothel yet easily embarrassed... would surely be cherished by the Junior Sisters on Muyu Peak.
Then... Wen Li paused.
Previously, she ntioned Liu Qingluo.
She was sowhat interested in Liu Qingluo... Apart from the ancient texts, no one had seen a real Immortal Talent, and Liu Qingluo was the first, a true Immortal Grade with fire at its core among earth, wind, water, and fire, saying she wasn’t interested would be false.
Moreover, only Wen Li had the qualifications to be Liu Qingluo’s guide on Muyu Peak, which ant that she would simultaneously teach Liu Qingluo and Wen Li in the future... making Wen Li more concerned about understanding Liu Qingluo in advance.
Liu Qingluo has always lived in Beisang City, so Junior Lu should be able to satisfy so of her curiosity?
Actually, when Miss Lu ntioned Liu Qingluo to Wen Li, she already roughly described this girl’s soft personality, giving Wen Li a preliminary impression of Liu Qingluo.
Kind, using the silver she earned by ’selling her dignity’ to help other girls.
Fragile, she spends silver to gain a bit of existence’s aning, and when the silver fades away, Liu Qingluo might realize what remains, leading her to collapse anyti.
Lucky, because she soon found a new dependency, and even if that dependency was a married man, Wen Li considered it not wrong as she used it as a mirror.
Finally... content.
Because so people don’t need to embrace the Great Sun, which would burn her completely, Liu Qingluo would avoid Xu Chang’an, for her, a little bit of far-off radiance is enough to live happily...
After simply understanding Liu Qingluo, Wen Li had a basic understanding of her, and kindness, fragility, and luck weren’t really important. What stood out most to Wen Li was precisely the word ’content’.
Just these two words made her willing to teach Liu Qingluo wholeheartedly.
However, through Zhu Pingniang’s description, Wen Li sowhat understood that the woman nad Qingluo was truly fragile like glass... Once her final dependency disappeared, an Immortal Grade in a ntal collapse, perhaps would be as dangerous as Zhu Pingniang...
Even Wen Li, after eting Liu Qingluo in person, didn’t dare say... her talent was on par with that weak girl.
Hmm...
Yun Qian tilted her head.
Even though she wanted to say that Liu Qingluo’s talent had nothing to do with Miss Guan Yun, she knew she couldn’t say it.
It’s quite normal.
After all, Liu Qingluo’s talent ca from her, and Liu Qingluo was the first in the world, besides her, to clearly harbor ’admiration’ for Xu Chang’an... as well as being the most emotionally invested woman.
Liu Qingluo’s special status is, in so sense, even above Li Zhibai.
If placed in Xu Chang’an’s past life, if Li Zhibai was the main wife, then the most important person in Xu Chang’an’s heart, the one needing his protection most... undoubtedly would be Liu Qingluo...
Therefore, Liu Qingluo is quite an impressive person, which is undeniable even without Yun Qian.
"..." After Wen Li briefly analyzed Liu Qingluo in her mind, she still had a lot of doubts, so she shared her concerns with Miss Lu.
This confused Miss Lu for a mont.
"Want to understand that girl’s Qingluo... there’s actually nothing much to say." She looked at Wen Li strangely, then nodded, simply recounting Liu Qingluo’s history.
Sold into brothels at a young age, then relied on her zither skills to gradually climb to Wanzhi Building, and finally stood out from Wanzhi Building to beco the head courtesan, eventually attracting Zhu Pingniang to bring her to Flower Moon Building.
Miss Lu spoke lightly, after all, it was just a few words, but her eyes were very serious.
Wen Li was also thoughtful, she asked, "Junior Sister Liu, her zither skills are excellent?"
"Very good." Miss Lu replied without hesitation, "Even better than the Qin girl accompanying Ah Qing for dance earlier, to so extent, because... she not only has zither skills, but she also mastered all the Six Arts for won. Qin’Er puts her heart solely in the zither."
It should be known, Liu Qingluo was cultivated by Zhu Pingniang as her successor in zither skills, her talent needs no further explanation.
So Wen Li roughly understood.
Liu Qingluo, as a courtesan, obviously possessed high proficiency in zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, and dancing...
Thinking this way, the entire Flower Moon Building was chosen to include the most talented won in the Six Arts. Saying this place is a great ’seedbed’ for Muyu Peak is quite fitting.
Liu Qingluo was practically born for Muyu Peak, she is perfectly suited because only here will her skills not be wasted.
Similarly, moving the entire Muyu Peak to Flower Moon Building is reasonable, these are all excellent students, only needing a bit of cultivation talent, they wouldn’t fall short.
"It seems, Junior Sister Liu’s zither skills are indeed excellent," Wen Li knew Zhu Pingniang’s zither skills.
Miss Lu nodded, "Senior Wen, you are close to Qingluo. If you have the chance, go listen to her play the zither once... ah..."
Miss Lu suddenly paused, sighed, "Ah yes, that girl hasn’t played the zither for a long ti, not even bringing her Seven Strings when she went up the mountain..."
"Didn’t bring her Seven Strings..." Wen Li raised her head.
"Hmm," Miss Lu lowered her eyes for a mont, then looked up and said, "Before Qingluo was reduced to her situation, she was skilled on the zither. She entered the brothel with exquisite zither skills but never really liked music. Later, living at Wanzhi Building forced her to perform... but now that she’s left, she probably dislikes the Seven Strings even more now."
Thinking about this, Miss Lu sighed and glanced at Zhu Pingniang’s slightly trembling eyes, understanding her elder sister’s scheming better.
It was correct.
Liu Qingluo detests the Seven Strings, but targeting Xu Chang’an... worked well.
Dislikes playing the zither, right.
But what if she plays for the gentleman and lady?
Then naturally there would be no problem.
"There’s no need to worry much about Qingluo’s issue, elder sister has a plan, it will only get better," Miss Lu smiled.
"Junior Sister Liu... doesn’t like the zither..." Wen Li seed to partially understand. She didn’t understand courtesans, but she believed Liu Qingluo probably didn’t truly dislike it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t want to practice the zither.
Miss Lu understood this well.
Both liking and hating, both are correct.
She could understand Qingluo’s self-esteem struggles.
Even though she hasn’t truly lost her purity, selling her skills but not herself, yet coming this far, she’d feel disgust towards her own body, disdain towards her zither skills used to please n; that would be the most normal thing.
