Chapter 38: Divine Skill (Part 1)

  Tang Wind Bar, this is a Tang Dynasty themed style bar.

  This Tang-style bar in Huan City has a great reputation and is doing very well, it's one of the favorite bars among young professionals and white-collar workers.

  The decoration of the bar is mainly in the style of the Tang Dynasty. There are no dazzling lights here, only various candles. There are also no soft and comfortable sofas, all wooden tables and chairs, as well as wine cups, which are imitation Tang Dynasty jade cups, ceramic cups and glass cups.

  The music inside the bar is also played by a professional classical orchestra, with instruments such as bells and drums, pipa, guqin, etc., presenting a ancient flavor of the Tang Dynasty.

  What's more, the bar also offers some free costumes of Tang Dynasty for customers to wear and experience the ancient culture.

  At this moment, Jiang Xu and Xiao Zi Qing were sitting in a corner of the bar.

  This Táng Fēng bar Jiang Xù was also heard of, but before this, he had never been here once.

  For Jiang Xu before his rebirth, this bar was almost nowhere that could attract him. There was no loud music, no sexy miniskirts, and no feeling of wild partying that young people loved.

  Of course, this bar still doesn't have much appeal for Jiang Xiu after his rebirth.

  In the imperial soul merged by Jiang Xu, there were several emperors from the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Shimin, known as the first emperor of the Great Tang, and Li Yu, the last ruler of Southern Tang, who was a master of poetry.

  It can be said that Jiang Xu is almost familiar with everything in the Tang Dynasty period.

  In Jiang Xu's eyes, the style of this Tang Feng bar is simply incongruous, and the so-called Tang Dynasty style is just a bluff. However, this doesn't matter much, as most people who come here are only seeking that classical elegance and serenity, and the "Tang Wind" is just an accessory.

  For example, Xiao Zi Qing likes this Tang Feng bar's classic and quiet atmosphere.

  She took a light sip of the fine wine in her ceramic cup, intently listening to the classical music played on the guqin. The liquid in her cup was not beer, nor red or white wine, but rather the ancient and fragrant "girl's red".

  This is also one of the characteristics of Tang Feng Bar, where no beer or red wine is sold, only pure handmade grape wine or old yellow wine like Niangjiu.

  Perhaps it was because she had drunk some wine, Xiao Zi Qing's pretty face was slightly red at this moment, and added a few points of femininity, the cold lines had melted unknowingly.

  By chance, Xiao Zi Qing's gaze swept across Jiang Xu's face.

  Xiao Zi Qing appeared to be listening to music, but in fact was secretly sizing up Jiang Xu.

  In Xiao Zi Qing's eyes, Jiang Xu didn't look like a seventeen or eighteen year old youth at all. Especially the calmness and composure on his body, even compared to some wise elders, it was probably not inferior in any way.

  Just like Zhang Zihao, he is seven or eight years older than Jiang Xu, but in front of Jiang Xu, his behavior is almost no different from that of a child.

  Moreover, upon closer inspection, Jiang Xu's appearance is actually quite attractive, very delicate, especially Jiang Xu's deep and profound eyes, as if they possess a special magic that makes people unknowingly fall deeply into them.

  Not only that, Jiang Xu also possesses extraordinary medical skills, his hands are also strong and somewhat terrifying, Xiao Zi Qing can't even imagine why Jiang Xu would understand so many things, how many secrets he has hidden in his body.

  Jiang Xu was actually also observing Xiao Zi Qing.

  Jiang Xu originally thought that Xiao Zi Qing came here to drink and wanted to drown her sorrows, but now it seems he was wrong. Xiao Zi Qing is very calm, and after leaving the hotel, her face returned to its usual coldness. She wasn't affected by Lan Mei Mei and Zhang Zi He at all.

  At this moment, the bar band just finished a song of Guzheng.

  Xiao Zi Qing finished the last sip of the daughter red in her cup, then softly said to Jiang Xu: "Jiang Xu, I want to say thank you again."

  Jiang Xuan then smiled and asked: "What else do you want to thank me for?"

  "To be honest, there's been something on my mind that I couldn't let go of. Maybe I'm stupid, but even though I saw through it all, I just couldn't put it down." Xiao Ziqing paused for a moment before continuing: "But tonight, I finally let everything go, and I mean completely let go."

  Xiao Zi Qing didn't know why she wanted to tell Jiang Xu these things, perhaps the real reason she invited him out for a drink was that she wanted to find someone who could listen to her talk.

  It's possible that Xiao Zi Qing also wanted to explain something to Jiang Xu, as for why she needed to explain, perhaps even Xiao Zi Qing herself wasn't clear.

  "Is it about Zhang Zihao's matter?" Jiang Xu asked lightly.

  "Uh-huh."

  Xiao Zi Qing nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes first had some memories, and then continued: "I met him in college, it was during our sophomore year, I signed up for the guzheng playing competition held by the school, he also participated."

  "I've liked listening to the guqin since I was young and have practiced for many years. Originally, I thought I could win the championship, but unexpectedly, he ended up taking it away."

  "It was also because of that competition that I got to know him, his guqin skills are really good, we often discuss things about the guqin together, and over time, we both developed some feelings for each other."

  "Not long after, he confessed to me. I didn't agree because at that time we hadn't known each other for a long time. I just wanted to spend more time getting to know him, maybe one year or two years, and then I might have agreed."

  "It was perhaps destined by the heavens that, on the day after I rejected him, he appeared before me with Lan Mei, and gradually revealed his true nature to me."

  At this point, Xiao Zi Qing suddenly fell silent for a moment, then continued to say: "When he and Lan Mei Mei appeared, I had a heart-wrenching feeling. At that time, I thought I should have liked him somewhat."

  "After that, he never appeared in school again. At a classmate gathering, I heard some rumors about him. It turned out that he had been with Lan Mei Mei all along. All his university expenses and spending were paid by Lan Mei Mei. His spending was huge, and many people thought his family background was very good, but actually the money was all from Lan Mei Mei."

  Hearing this, Jiang Xu couldn't help but laugh and say: "No wonder he's so afraid of Lan Mei Mei, haha."

  What Jiang Xu said is already very polite and did not point out that Zhang Zihao is a pretty boy, of course, this is the fact.

  Xiao Zi Qing naturally understood Jiang Xu's meaning, she nodded lightly and said: "This is his own choice, in this world there is no such thing as a free lunch, what you gain must be equal to what you pay."

  All these years, Xiao Zi Qing had actually seen through it, but she had never met Zhang Zi He, so this matter had never been truly put down in her heart.

  But today, she finally saw Zhang Zihao again, and the knot in her heart was completely untied tonight.

  It's unclear whether it was because she had seen through Zhang Zihao's character or because of the passage of time, but when Xiao Ziqing faced Zhang Zihao again, she no longer had the same feelings as before, nor did she have the same affection and heartache.

  Alternatively, as she herself said, she and Zhang Zihao had never really started in the first place, so it's not like they could end.

  Judging from Xiao Zi Qing's tone, Jiang Xu already knew that Xiao Zi Qing had truly let go of everything before.

  However, Jiang Xu wanted to make Xiao Zi Qing forget even more thoroughly. After a moment's thought, he said: "Zi Qing, do you want to completely and utterly forget him?"

  "I've already forgotten." Xiao Zi Qing didn't know what Jiang Xu meant, but she thought that she should have already forgotten Zhang Zi He.

  "You don't."

  Jiang Xiu mysteriously smiled and then directly stood up from between the chairs: "I have a way to make you truly forget him, wait for me here for a while."

  Having said that, Jiang Xu turned around and left directly.
