I Have Five Senior Brothers - Chapter 16
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Among the five senior brothers, Gu Qingqing was not afraid of the most indifferent Si Lin, but of the gentleman-like Yue Zhao.
Although Si Lin was cold to people, he did not hide his emotions. If he liked someone, he liked them. If he did not like them, he did not like them. He was very straightforward.
The feeling Yue Zhao gave Gu Qingqing was different!
Strangers were like jade, and the young master was unparalleled in the world!
This was the first reaction of most people when they saw Yue Zhao. Yue Zhao’s behavior was the same. His behavior was magnanimous and open, just like a moral benchmark. Most people who were not very good would feel ashamed when they stood beside him.
However, in reality, he was not like that.
At least, he was not like that when he was facing Si Lin and the others.
Yue Zhao was also very polite to Gu Qingqing. At the same time, he took good care of her, just like a perfect senior brother. However, Gu Qingqing was very sensitive to people’s emotions. She could feel that Yue Zhao, this second senior brother, did not like her as much as he appeared to like her. He might not even like her at all!
This made Gu Qingqing appear a little reserved when she was facing Yue Zhao.
“Junior sister, this is the lesson that I have arranged for you. The instrument that senior brother can bring out the most is the musical instrument. However, I don’t know which instrument you are interested in, so we need to try it out one by one.” Yue Zhao had a perfect smile on his face. He looked at Gu Qingqing with a very gentle gaze and spoke in a very gentle tone, as if he was afraid of scaring her.
Gu Qingqing glanced at the densely written paper in Yue Zhao’s hand and then glanced at his smiling but unsmiling eyes. She nodded slowly.
Yue Zhao did not know that Gu Qingqing had already seen through his disguise. Seeing Gu Qingqing nod, his expression became even gentler as he brought her to his storeroom.
As a music cultivator, Yue Zhao was best at playing the guqin. However, he was also quite proficient in other musical instruments. He could be said to be an omnipotent musician. His storeroom also stored all kinds of musical instruments, and these musical instruments were all magic instruments!
“Junior sister, can you take a look and see if there are any that you like?” Yue Zhao opened the door of the storeroom and stood to the side, motioning for Gu Qingqing to enter by herself and choose the musical instrument that she liked.
This was the first time Gu Qingqing had seen so many musical instruments. She was stunned for a moment and took a glance at Yue Zhao before entering the storeroom.
She had never learned musical instruments before, so she was very unfamiliar with these musical instruments. She could not even name these musical instruments. However, for some reason, she could feel the emotions on these musical instruments, which made her somewhat shocked.
Her hand brushed over the musical instruments one by one and finally landed on a zither in the corner.
This zither looked a little old. The body of the zither was polished very smooth, and the strings were a little worn out. However, it could be seen that the owner was very attentive and took good care of it. It seemed that it also liked Gu Qingqing very much. After Gu Qingqing placed her hand on it, she could feel its happy mood.
Yue Zhao did not know that Gu Qingqing could sense the emotions of the instrument. However, when he saw the zither in Gu Qingqing’s hand, a hint of surprise finally appeared in his eyes. Even his face could not help but reveal a little surprise.
“Junior sister, you have good taste. This zither was used when I was young. Before I had my natal magic tool, this zither had accompanied me for a very long time.” Yue Zhao walked to Gu Qingqing’s side and reached out to brush the zither. His expression was filled with a sigh and some hidden emotion.
Originally, Yue Zhao only wanted to take care of this little junior sister for the sake of his master. His master wanted them to take turns teaching the little junior sister, so he could teach her. As for whether the little junior sister could learn well, that was up to her own ability.
However, he did not expect that the little junior sister would so coincidentally choose the zither he used when he was young!
This zither carried his entire childhood and childhood memories.
He looked at Gu Qingqing and for the first time, he felt that this junior sister was rather pleasing to the eye!
Although Gu Qingqing was also surprised, she was more happy.
Towards her five senior brothers, Gu Qingqing treated them as family from the bottom of her heart. Naturally, she hoped that she could get along well with them. Now that she saw that Yue Zhao’s attitude towards her had changed, she was naturally happy.
Since Gu Qingqing had already chosen the zither, the next lesson would focus on practicing the zither.
Of course, Gu Qingqing was not a musician. She did not need to practice it often. She only needed to be able to play the zither.
Because of the change in his view of Gu Qingqing, Yue Zhao became much stricter in the following teaching process. It was the same level as Si Lin when it came to swordsmanship.
In the morning, Gu Qingqing practiced the zither and horse stance. In the afternoon, it was time for her to train and practice her swordsmanship. It was no easier on the second peak than on the first peak. In the evening, Gu Qingqing was so tired that she collapsed on the bed and fell asleep very quickly.
In the middle of the night, Gu Qingqing was woken up by the sound of the zither. The sound of the zither was actually very soft, but Gu Qingqing’s ears were more sensitive, so she still heard it.
Other than Gu Qingqing and Yue Zhao, there was no one else on the second peak. At this time, the only person who could play the zither was probably Yue Zhao. Gu Qingqing did not think that Yue Zhao was the kind of person who would play the zither at night. After thinking for a while, she decided to put on her clothes and look for the place where the sound of the zither was coming from.
The place where Yue Zhao lived and the place where Gu Qingqing lived were two adjacent courtyards. However, the place where the sound of the zither came from was not Yue Zhao’s courtyard, but the deeper part of the second peak.
Every peak of the Hidden Spirit Mountain was very large. The place where people lived was only a part of it. Other than the place where Yue Zhao and Gu Qing Qing lived, there was also a forest on the second peak. Behind the forest was a cliff. The terrain was quite special.
At this moment, the sound of the zither was coming from where the cliff was. This made Gu Qingqing a little worried.
Fortunately, she had been taking the horse stance for the past few days. Although it was only for a few days, it was effective. She was not so tired that she could not walk.
The closer she got to the cliff, the more obvious the sound of the zither became. At the same time, the sound of the zither became more chaotic.
Gu Qingqing understood that Yue Zhao’s mind was in a mess. For a music cultivator like Yue Zhao, this kind of situation was very dangerous!
With a solemn face, Gu Qingqing quickened her steps. She wanted to reach the edge of the cliff as soon as possible, but she did not expect to be attacked by Yue Zhao!
Compared to Gu Qingqing’s cultivation, Yue Zhao’s cultivation was like heaven and earth. Gu Qingqing could not beat Yue Zhao at all. However, Yue Zhao seemed to be a little unconscious at this time, and his attacks were actually getting fiercer and fiercer.
At the critical moment, the Thousand Chimes Bell Si Lin gave Gu Qingqing to protect her activated.
The Thousand Chimes Bell was a defensive magic tool. Other than being able to withstand three attacks from a rank 7 powerhouse as Si Lin had said, it could also automatically protect its owner when the owner was in danger.
Fortunately, Yue Zhao’s attack was not targeted at her. Gu Qingqing could still rely on the Thousand Chimes Bell to block it, and she approached Yue Zhao with difficulty.
When she passed through the forest and came to the edge of the cliff, she was shocked by Yue Zhao’s appearance.
Yue Zhao sat at the edge of the cliff. His body was emitting a terrifying and chaotic aura. The jade hairpin that tied his hair had fallen off. His black hair swayed due to the wind that he created. His originally brown eyes had turned red, the right side of his face was covered with a strange pattern. It looked like a type of language, but Gu Qingqing did not recognize it.
The collar on his chest was wide open, and she could see that his body and neck were also covered with that pattern.
Unlike the image of a gentleman like jade in the past, the current one was very evil. It was like a flower blooming in Hell, enchanting and charming.
When his eyes swept over Gu Qingqing’s body, Gu Qingqing felt as if she was pierced.
She took a deep breath and subconsciously crushed the Distress Talisman that Rong Ye had given her.
Just as she was hesitating to do something, Yue Zhao’s figure suddenly disappeared. She was shocked and immediately looked for Yue Zhao’s figure. The next moment, she felt a chill on her back and subconsciously rolled forward. When she turned around, she saw Yue Zhao’s face magnified in front of her.
“Yue Zhao, wake up!”
