After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

"I came here just to see you. You were the one who taught me how to play the pipa. What's wrong with me coming here to see my master?" Shen Li joked.

Qingshuang paused, surprise flashing in her eyes: "Your pipa skills have surpassed mine, haven't you? It's only been a year, that shouldn't be possible, right?"

"I don't know if I've surpassed you, why don't we have a competition?"

"You promised me before that you would come back to me if your skills surpass mine, so have you really surpassed me?" Qingshuang still seemed a little unconvinced. She had practiced pipa for so many years, but was she not as good as Shen Li who had practiced for only one year?

Shen Li laughed: "I really don't know. I was on my way back to Xiezhou Prefecture this time, so I thought of coming to see you."

Qingshuang knew that she said this to save her face. They were all pipa players, so how could they not know her skills? What's more, she also knew her level.

"Play a song quickly so I can listen." As she said this, she picked up the pipa on the stand.

Shen Li took it and played a song "Lotus" without any hesitation.

Although Qingshuang knew that Shen Li's skills might surpass hers, she didn't expect that after actually hearing the song and discovering that it was true, the gap in her heart was still quite uncomfortable.

When Shen Li was learning from her, he was a complete novice, but soon his skills caught up with hers. But even so, she didn't think it was a big deal because she had confidence in her skills.

If she wanted to surpass her, no matter how talented she was, she would have to practice for three to five years. But the facts still caught her off guard. It turned out that people cannot be compared with each other.

"Miss Qingshuang, what are you thinking about? I've been calling you for a long time." After Shen Li finished playing the piano, he found that she was in a daze and she didn't come back to her senses after he called her several times.

"No... no, you play very well, much better than me who taught you. Now your skills may really be the best in our dynasty." Qingshuang felt very complicated. She felt that she was very powerful. Shen Li was taught by her, but now, her skills were better than hers.

To be honest, she seemed a little jealous.

"Qingshuang, do you know Master Yuze?"

"Of course I know. He is the best musician in our dynasty. How many people who play music don't know Lord Yu?"

"Let me tell you, Lord Yu said that my pipa skills are better than his." Shen Li didn't want to show off, but was sharing with her sincerely. After all, she was the one who taught him how to play the pipa.

If she could teach a great person, she would be so happy and proud of it.

"Is... is that so? As expected, what you said before was just to save face for me, right? You've already surpassed me, but you still said you didn't know."

Hearing Qingshuang say this, Shen Li realized belatedly: "No matter how good I am, you taught me how to play the pipa. Aren't you happy for me?"

Qingshuang also realized that her attitude was a bit bad, so she forced a smile and said, "Of course I'm happy, I just find it hard to believe for a moment. Since Master Yu praised you, can you guide me again in the next few days? You also know that my skills have not improved much over the years, because I haven't met a more powerful person to guide me. Fortunately, I have such a powerful apprentice, I must seize the opportunity."

"Are you serious? You taught me."

"Of course I'm serious. Just tell me whether you agree or not?"

Shen Li naturally couldn't refuse: "Okay, I'll come to see you before I return to Kyoto."

She felt that Qingshuang seemed to have emotions, not as she showed, nor was she as happy for her as she thought.

But she could understand that if the people she had been teaching were better than her, she might feel disappointed.

The reason why she agreed to Qingshuang was because she wanted to repay her kindness in teaching her.

After leaving Fengming Tower, Shen Li sighed. It is said that people's minds are fickle. As expected, Qingshuang seems to be no longer the pure person who only pursues skills.

It is really difficult to find someone who can always keep his original intention.

In Xiezhou, apart from the people and things in the workshop, she seemed to know no one. She had always been grateful to Qingshuang and regarded her as a friend.

Alas! What a pity!

When she mentioned people she knew, she thought of Old Lady Shen's family. She wondered how they were doing.

Shen Yanyan should not be short of money now, and should give them money, so their life should be pretty good.

Forget it, she had finally come back, so she might as well go and take a look. She had time anyway, and the house in Xiezhou Prefecture was empty, so she might as well let them live there.

After all, they are relatives, and Old Lady Shen has changed her attitude towards them. Although she has no feelings for them, she has three brothers and a mother, so she should not care about the past anymore.

Thinking of this, Shen Li, Luo Qi, and Liu Xin went to the Shen family's courtyard.

Only to find that the building was deserted.

How could that be? This yard is hers now, so it's impossible for them to move away, right?

Could it be that Shen Yanyan didn't care about them? Ever since Lan Xueyan went to Kyoto, the shops and other things must have been sold, so Shen Wang and the others no longer work here.

They won't be able to live like this.

Could it be that they have returned to Heike Village?

It's not like she hadn't thought about it before, what would happen to their lives if Lan Xueyan was gone? Later, when she learned that Shen Yanyan and Gu Cheng'an were together, she felt that she didn't need to worry about it anymore.

After all, Shen Yanyan's biological parents are there, and Old Lady Shen has loved her since she was a child. No matter what, she will not ignore them.

But now it seems that she really didn't care.

Shen Li was thinking whether he should go to Pingjia Village to bring them back. It would be fine for others, but Old Lady Shen and Old Master Shen were old, and they should not be allowed to continue suffering.

After leaving the yard, Shen Li saw a woman coming out of the yard next to her. She hurried forward and said, "Aunt, I want to ask you, do you know where this family has gone?"

The woman looked at Shen Li and then asked, "Are you looking for them?"

"Yes, does Aunt know where they went?"

"Oh! How could you not know? Let me tell you, this family is not doing well. No one in the family can work, except for the young man who looks hardworking and has to go out to work every day to support the family. They seemed to be quite rich before, but I don't know how they fell into this state. The old lady of this family used to look down on us all, but she has changed since she fell seriously ill. Alas! I saw her doing laundry for others to supplement the family income a while ago."

Shen Li listened and found that, as expected, Shen Yanyan didn't care about them. Even Old Mrs. Shen had to rely on washing clothes for others to make money.
