“What did you say a moment ago? I have already forgotten.” said Lin Feng while smiling. That tall and robust guy was surprised and then smiled. He stretched his big hands towards Lin Feng and said: “Yuan Shan.”
“Lin Feng.” Both of them shook hands and smiled at each other.
“Perseverance, willpower, courage and strength are the required skills to become a great commander.” said the teacher while nodding his head. He packed up his instrument and said: “Lin Feng, if you want to learn how to play the zither or the guqin. Come to me and I will teach you.” When he finished talking, he turned around and left.
Lin Feng was stupefied as well. He was smiling and, while looking at the silhouette of the teacher in the horizon, said: “Teacher, I will do my best to show you that you did not make the wrong decision.”
Everybody in the crowd was staring at Lin Feng with eyes full of admiration and envy. These musical cultivation skills were extremely powerful.
“Lin Feng, congratulations. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the zither or the guqin but the teacher will not teach me his methods.” said Wen Ao Xue while smiling sat Lin Feng.
“I’m just lucky.” replied Lin Feng while shaking his head and smiling.
“It seems like you are often very lucky.” said Wen Ao Xue and added: “Now, you are also a student of the academy. I will show you where we sleep.”
“Alright. Thanks.”
“I’m coming too.” said Yuan Shan who seemed to be very easy going.
“Alright, you are also a student of the academy, I do not see why you cannot join our group of friends.”
Wen Ao Xue brought them to the next palace. They quickly went inside, Lin Feng raised his head and was amazed. That castle had about twenty floors. From the center, one could see the sky through the open roof of the palace in the center.
“These are all rooms for the students. You should choose your rooms first. The middle is dedicated to practicing cultivation under the open sky.”
The palace was huge. There was a lot of free space within. Lin Feng found out that all the rooms were extremely large and had multiple living quarters inside as if it was a large house, it even had a large living area which was shared by the multiple living quarters within that room.
“All the rooms are the same. If you want to choose a room where nobody else is occupying a living quarters, that is not a problem. Do as you wish inside the palace. There’s only one thing that you should note. Men and women all live here so please be respectful. Besides, there are some people who like peace and do not enjoy being disturbed. Don’t move yourself into the same shared living space as them until they have given you their permission. Doing so is forbidden.”
