Zither Emperor Chapter 973 Chapter 310 Prince Rui Qin Part 2

973: Chapter 310: Prince Rui Qin (Part 2) 973: Chapter 310: Prince Rui Qin (Part 2) Ye Yinzhu squatted down, positioning himself to look into Rui Qin’s eyes on the same level, and said gently, “I am Ye Yinzhu.

The title Zither Emperor is just an appreciation from friends.

You are Uncle Silvio’s child.

If you wish, you can call me Brother Yin Zhu.”

Rui Qin, not at all shy, immediately nodded and said, “Okay, Yin…”

He had just spoken when his words were abruptly cut off by a somewhat anxious voice, “No, Rui Qin.”

Ye Yinzhu and Rui Qin both looked surprised and turned towards the direction of the voice, only to see a beautiful woman in palace attire emerging from behind.

Her eyes revealed a mix of anxiety, worry, joy, and many plex emotions.

It was Xiang Luan.

Seeing Xiang Luan, the unusual gleam of intelligence in Rui Qin’s eyes that set him apart from other children disappeared.

Now, he looked just like a typical child.

“Sister,” Rui Qin called out excitedly while running towards Xiang Luan.

Xiang Luan scooped him up in her arms, and the tenderness on her face in that instant was something Ye Yinzhu and the others had never seen before.

Holding Rui Qin, Xiang Luan slowly walked up to Ye Yinzhu and said, “It’s been a long time, Yin Zhu.”

Seeing Xiang Luan again, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t pinpoint why, but there was a special sense of understanding in his heart, as if something was stuck in his chest, yet he couldn’t trace the origin of this feeling.

“Sister Xiang Luan,” Haiyang called out with surprise.

He left his grandfather’s arms and quickly walked up to Xiang Luan.

The reunion of these dear sisters naturally led to many heartfelt emotions, with touching tears sparkling in their eyes.

Xiang Luan was still beautiful.

pared to her previous striking charm, she seemed much more subdued but also gained a maturity she hadn’t possessed before.

Her pink hair flowed down her back, making her appear even more mature.

The scene of family reuniting filled everyone present with a warm feeling.

Ye Yinzhu smiled and asked, “Xiang Luan, why don’t you want Rui Qin to call me brother?

He’s your brother; shouldn’t he call me that too?”

Xiang Luan’s gaze shifted from Haiyang to Ye Yinzhu, a flicker of panic in her eyes, and she quickly shook her head, saying, “No, no, it’s not like that.

Yin Zhu, please don’t misunderstand.

He shouldn’t call you brother.”

“Why?” Ye Yinzhu asked, astonished, as Xiang Luan’s last words were definitive, leaving no room for negotiation, and this manner of speaking was somewhat uncharacteristic of her.

“Because…” The panic in Xiang Luan’s eyes became more apparent.

She took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm her agitated emotions.

But before she could explain further, Rui Qin in her arms spoke up.

“I understand, sister.

You are afraid that if I start calling him brother, he won’t agree to take me as his disciple.

The generational hierarchy must not be confused!”

“Take you as a disciple?

What’s this about?” Ye Yinzhu looked at Rui Qin, whose clear gaze and lovely little face bore a striking resemblance to Xiang Luan, though their personalities were clearly different.

Xiang Luan breathed a sigh of relief and explained, “Rui Qin has loved music since he was small and has always pestered me to teach him, but I play the Pipa, which isn’t suitable for boys.

So, I remended you to him.

That’s why…”

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and asked, “Do you like the Ancient Zither?”

Rui Qin nodded seriously and said, “I do.

Would you be willing to be my teacher?”

Ye Yinzhu said gravely, “Learning an instrument is not difficult, but the challenge lies in dedicating oneself to it, to grasp its true essence.

Can you tell me why you want to learn the zither?”

Rui Qin was momentarily stunned, thought for a moment, and said, “This might be the only thing I don’t know why I like.

After sister mentioned the ancient zither to me, I’ve listened to many people play, and from that time, I fell in love with the ancient zither.

I also want to find the reason why I like it, but I can’t.

It seems like I was born with a fate connected to the ancient zither.”

Ye Yinzhu’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise, “Then how much are you willing to dedicate to the ancient zither?”

Rui Qin didn’t hesitate and said, “Half of my heart and effort.”

“Only half?” Ye Yinzhu’s surprise grew even more.

Rui Qin nodded and confidently said, “I believe that by dedicating half of my effort to learning the Ancient Zither, I can definitely do very well.

You are my target.”

In this world, to boldly claim that one could match Ye Yinzhu’s attainment in the Ancient Zither with just half the effort, this Prince Rui Qin was truly the first and only one.

Yet, his confidence somehow made it seem like he was not joking.

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Very well, after I discuss some matters with Uncle Silvio, I will test you.

If you pass my test, I will accept you as my disciple.”

Ye Yinzhu’s three children, each talented in their own right, did not particularly enjoy musical rhythms, nor did they inherit his talent in the Ancient Zither.

However, the Prince before him was Silvio’s son, and though Ye Yinzhu had little time, he still planned to accept him as a disciple.

He made this decision for two reasons, one being the hope that his Zither Sect’s techniques would be better passed down, and the other, to give the Milan Empire peace of mind.

With his disciple being the Crown Prince of the Milan Empire, could the good cooperation between Qin City and Milan possibly change?

Rui Qin nodded earnestly and said, “Good.

I think, I will definitely pass your test.”

Ye Yinzhu raised his hand and gently touched his head, “I hope so too.”

Xiang Luan watched Ye Yinzhu and Rui Qin talk, her gaze being somewhat infatuated, so much so that she did not respond even after Haiyang called her several times.

“Xiang Luan, e back to your senses.

What are you thinking about?” Haiyang shook Xiang Luan, and she finally snapped out of it.

“Ah?

Oh, it’s nothing, just suddenly thought of some things.

e, Haiyang, Sura, let’s go over there and chat.

We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, you must have a lot to tell me.”

When men needed to discuss matters, it was natural for women to stay further away.

The former princessly haughtiness of Xiang Luan had now pletely turned into reasonableness.

Watching the three women take Rui Qin aside to chat, Ye Yinzhu’s gaze then returned to Emperor Silvio.

He paid his respects again.

Silvio, Xi Duofu, Fergerson, along with Ye Yinzhu, each took their seats.

Silvio said, “Yin Zhu, you disappeared for three years, it nearly killed your uncle with worry.

I was so happy when I got your message a few months ago.

Now that you’re finally back, Qin City is no longer without its leader.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “I’m sorry for making you worry.

Uncle Silvio, since you already know the purpose of my visit, I will speak frankly.

Just yesterday, I indeed promised Emperor Maximo that my eldest son would bee the future emperor of the Landias Empire.

However, there are several conditions involved.”

Then, Ye Yinzhu recounted his conversation with Maximo from the previous day in full detail, with no omissions.

After hearing Ye Yinzhu’s words, Silvio sighed and said, “Maximo is a smart man.

He wouldn’t have made such a choice if he hadn’t been pushed to a matter of life and death.

Although we are enemies, I cannot deny that he surpasses me in aspects of being an emperor.”

At this point, Emperor Silvio did not seem disheartened; instead, he wore a smile and looked at Ye Yinzhu, saying, “But, I am luckier than he is, because I have your help.

Now this old fellow Maximo, is ing to pete with me for luck.”

At his words, smiles surfaced on the faces of the four people present.

Any slight worry in Ye Yinzhu’s heart gradually disappeared.

He could clearly see that Silvio did not hold any grudge against him because of this matter, which was also the purpose of his visit.

For some reason, he felt that Silvio seemed much more open-minded than before.

Could it be because the Milan Empire had now secured an absolute leading position on the continent?

“Uncle, you also know that Maximo is, after all, Sura’s father, and Landias was once Sura’s home.

Moreover, my primary concern now is not the situation in Ryuzakinus, but the holy war against the Abyssal Plane.

With the holy war approaching, I will have to put everything else aside.

To unite and overe our mon enemy on the Ryuzakinus Continent, I can only promise with Emperor Maximo for now.”

Silvio smiled and said, “I understand your predicament.

In fact, you can probably tell, I am not a man with great ambitions.

How the future of the Milan Empire unfolds is no longer for me to decide.

The future of Milan now lies with Rui Qin.

I believe that under his leadership, no matter what changes occur on the continent, the Milan Empire will stand in the best position.

Even if your son leads Landias, I am confident of that.”

Ye Yinzhu was startled, although he knew Silvio placed great importance on Prince Rui Qin, he had not expected it to be to this extent.

Silvio said, “Yin Zhu, do you know what Rui Qin said before you arrived?

I had Marshal Xi Duofu e over specifically to discuss the matter that had just been announced by Landias, concerning your elder son Ye Siqin being the Crown Prince of the Landias Empire.

Rui Qin gave me some advice.

We are our own people, and I don’t need to hide it from you, he said…”

Ten minutes later, Ye Yinzhu became somewhat rigid, his gaze involuntarily drifting toward the boy leaning against Xiang Luan, the shock in his heart indescribable with words.
