Wang Yangming's words had the same effect as the Buddhist saying that all problems of the mind, when pursued to the root, were actually only problems of the heart.

No matter how sinister the world is, as long as my heart doesn't move, I can't do anything to it.

And when Lin Xi said those words, the meaning was very clear. He said that he had seriously listened to the tune and understood the true meaning of the song, and was even more amazed and praised the high performance of the zither.

This was originally his greatest respect to her and was also his kind greeting, so it was probably the best way for him to get to know these two strangers.

But what made Lin Xi feel strange was why Zhang Zhiyan had revealed that kind of coldness and estrangement, she had never offended her before!

Therefore, Lin Xi's good impression of Zhang Zhiyan was not as obvious as before, and he no longer praised her beauty in his heart. He only treated her as a chance to meet with him, and upon thinking about how they wouldn't have much interaction after today, he suddenly felt cheerful.

In fact, Lin Xi had truly misjudged Zhang Zhiyan. Since young, Zhang Zhiyan's family had always been superior, but not only were she pretty, she also knew a lot. She was proficient in zither, chess and painting, and could be considered to be one of the best in the world.

Amongst those who pursued her, although there were some unskilled hedonistic disciples, there were even more who were truly talented and not even weaker than her.

Her father was also a ruthless person. Once, there was a silkpants who kept pestering her, but somehow, her father found out. Her father was so angry that he picked up a rolling pin and chased that silkpants for several blocks, which was rumored to be a legend in the circle.

However, she had no choice but to swallow her anger in front of Zhang Zhiyan's father. On the second day, the father of the silkpants came to her door to apologize and promise that she would never appear in front of her again, which was how the matter was resolved.

Even though Father Zhang detested these silkpants, she still took a liking towards those high class disciples who had true skills and knowledge. Anyone could be her nephew and be ungrateful towards them in their pursuit of Zhang Zhiyan, but she was also very happy to see that.

Amongst them, there were quite a few who had tried to use their literary skills to please Zhang Zhiyan, just like how Lin Xi had just shown off. How could they not know that they were just there to show off in front of Zhang Zhiyan?

So later on, there were also people who figured out the path of Father Zhang. The silkpants naturally escaped into the distance without a trace, while the high-class disciples that were truly talented were like headless flies as they circled around Zhang Zhiyan everyday, causing her to be extremely annoyed, but also unable to escape.

The reason why Zhang Zhiyan appeared in such a remote city like Lu Zhou was to avoid those people who pursued her. After hearing that Qin Yu wanted to stay at the Lu Zhou for a few days, he forced Qin Yu to agree to his request.

In other words, for a peerless beauty like Zhang Zhiyan, who wouldn't be moved if she saw her? This wasn't being overly conceited about her appearance, but the truth.

At that time, Ang Youyong heard Lin Xi's praise, but he did not understand what it meant. He could not help but say sourly: "Brother Xi, you can do it, I know your literary talent is good, but don't put on an act here, since I do not understand anything about it, come, let us sit down and talk."

"Haha, right, Lin Xi, let's sit down and talk." Qin Yu seemed to understand his own niece Zhiyan very well. In order to prevent Lin Xi from feeling embarrassed, he agreed and changed the topic: "Oh right, little brat, didn't you say you have good tea here?

Qin Yu's words immediately perked Ang Youyong up, and he even seemed a little pleased with himself as he laughed: "That's true, we knew that your Brother Yu and Zhiyan were coming here, so how can we not prepare well? Wait a moment, we'll call people to go and get it."

Ang Youyong whispered a few words into her ear, and then the waiter slowly walked out of the quiet room. A few minutes later, two other servants carrying an orderly set of tea set walked into the quiet room.

Most importantly, the electric kettle used to boil water for tea had been replaced by a small stove with a flame burning on it.

The Ang Youyong in his memory was not such an exquisite person, so he asked with a puzzled look: "I say, brat, your current position is really not ordinary at all. To be honest, what kind of tea is that, it would be meaningless to hide it at this time."

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Ang Youyong became even more pleased, and almost turned his nose upside down. Seeing this, Qin Yu really wanted to kick him: "Brother Yu, why would I lie to you?

"Isn't this just a dragon well? What's the use of this … wait, what is the dragon well that you were talking about?" When he heard the three words "Longjing Tea", Qin Yu originally didn't think much of it. However, as he thought of something, he suddenly looked at Ang Youyong suspiciously, as if he was confirming something.

"Yes, it's that Longjing!"

"New tea?"

"New tea!"

"Before dawn or before the rain?"

"Of course it's before the sun. If it wasn't for the fact that we couldn't even make a move before tomorrow, we wouldn't be able to make it into your mouth, Brother Yu."

"Pah!" Qin Yu suddenly slapped his thigh, and a thunderous noise came out from the quiet room. He then exclaimed with extreme joy: "Aiya, this is the real prehistoric lion peak and dragon well, I'm lucky to have you today. "Not at all, not at all. You have some conscience after all, I didn't love you for nothing!"

After pausing for a moment, Qin Yu seemed to suddenly remember something important as he rubbed his hands together and said, "I really can't waste such a good thing. Go and tell your people to go back.

Before he even finished speaking, Qin Yu turned his head to look at Zhang Zhiyan again and smiled with a face raised: "Niece Zhiyan, look at such a good tea, right? You also know that this is the best tea Uncle Yu has, right?

Actually, Qin Yu had not even finished speaking when he stood up and walked towards the teahouse in the center of the quiet room. His gentle voice sounded in his ears: "Alright!"

"Hahaha, my niece is the best. This trip was not in vain!" After asking for Zhang Zhiyan's consent, Qin Yu was immediately overjoyed. It had been a long time since he last drank the tea Zhang Zhiyan had personally brewed, and he couldn't learn to taste the tea at all.

Lin Xi looked at all of this, but did not interrupt, because he felt that he could not interject at all, and he also felt that it was a little strange!
