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.
