Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 205 Missing
This sentence also made Shen Mengning stand up.

If Shen Mengning refused to show it, she would be deceiving the current emperor.

Shen Fuyu's expression changed, and his eyes accurately penetrated the crowd and caught the person who was speaking.

Keep this person's facial features firmly in mind.

Before Shen Fuyu could open her mouth, Shen Mengning had already stood up from the crowd. Facing everyone's gazes that seemed to be waiting for a show, Shen Mengning was not afraid at all. Instead, she faced everyone and made a speech.

"Thank you for your kindness, but Meng Ning is not very good at Guzheng, so I hope you won't laugh at me when the time comes."

"Mengning has only learned the basics."

Shen Mengning was too generous. She didn't feel embarrassed at all because of everyone's teasing, nor did she feel eager to prove her own strength. This move won everyone's favor. Shang Qingyan narrowed her eyes dangerously, obviously noticing the change in everyone's attitude, and looked at Shen Mengning with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Miss Shen, what a joke! To be rewarded by the current emperor is far superior to us. If Miss Shen only knows a few basic skills, then what are we?"

Hearing Shang Qingyan's sarcastic words, Meng Yuan couldn't help but stand up first.

"You've worked hard, Miss Shang. Everyone knows that you only sleep two hours a day to practice dancing. Miss Shang, if you put this kind of perseverance into studying, you will definitely get the top scorer. Miss Shang, don't you think so?"

Meng Yuan spoke with a smile.

Shang Qingyan was scolded, her chest heaving up and down violently, and she was obviously very angry.

She could barely hold onto the smile on her face. Before Shang Qingyan could speak, Meng Yuan said to herself, "Compared to Miss Shang, Miss Shen does know a little bit about the guzheng."

Everyone has their own unique personality, so naturally there are people who don’t like Shang Qingyan.

It was a rare occasion for Shang Qingyan to suffer a setback, so naturally there were people who couldn't wait to add insult to injury.

In the end, it was Li Xinrong who spoke up and barely resolved the crisis.

Shang Qingyan sat aside angrily, and the guzheng was also moved over. Shen Mengning sat in front of the guzheng without changing her expression. She placed her slender white fingers on the strings and stroked them. She was wearing blue clothes, and she looked as dazzling as the Queen Mother of the West.

His cold and aloof temperament is fully displayed.

Compared to Shang Qingyan's brightness, Shen Mengning is just as cool and aloof.

Just by sitting in front of the guzheng, Shen Mengning's temperament has already become much better.

A true lady from a noble family, a talented woman from a famous family.

"Om."

Shen Mengning tested the strings and made sure there was no discomfort before starting to play.

The song had already become muscle memory. Shen Mengning had her hands on the guzheng and she couldn't help but move.

It is a very classic song "Feng Qiu Huang", but Shen Mengning expressed it in a different way.

Obviously everyone can play it, but Shen Mengning's performance was able to attract the attention of everyone present. They couldn't help but become intoxicated by Shen Mengning's piano playing. It seemed as if everyone's soul was purified and immersed in the emotions expressed in the song.

Shang Qingyan's face turned pale. No, it's impossible!

How could Shen Mengning play the piano when she had never hired a teacher?

and many more!

Mrs. Shen, also known as Shen Mengning's mother.

Before she got married, she became famous for her guzheng. She was not only good at niche music, but also could express classic music to the fullest.

Shen Mengning didn't hire a master because she already had an extremely outstanding teacher at home and didn't need anyone else at all.

Thinking of this, Shang Qingyan's face became extremely ugly.

She bit her lips tightly, her heart and eyes filled with resentment, and her cheeks twisted into a deformed shape as she listened to everyone praising Shen Mengning's guzheng.

Originally Shang Qingyan was ready to crush the whole audience, but Shen Mengning suddenly sang a song "Feng Qiu Huang" and crushed Shang Qingyan's brilliance.

Shang Qingyan took a deep breath and managed to control her emotions.

The song is over.

The applause was even louder than Shang Qingyan's before. "Sister, I knew you were the best."

Shen Mengwu's cheeks turned red with excitement, and her eyes were shining as she looked at Shen Mengning.

Shen Fuyu curled the corners of his lips, feeling confident about all of this.

The Shen sisters are no worse than anyone else.

After being together for such a long time, Shen Fuyu knew the Shen sisters very well. He knew that as long as the Shen sisters worked hard, the answers they handed in would be better than anyone else present. Only then did Shen Fuyu feel at ease to sit aside and let Shen Mengning perform independently.

"Miss Shen, why don't you show off your talents? We know very little about you. If it weren't for His Majesty's discerning eye and public recognition of your talent, we wouldn't have known you had these talents."

Originally, some people were quite critical of the emperor's decision, believing that Shen Mengning had come up with a good idea by chance, but that she actually had no real talent.

Who would have thought that Your Majesty was the one with the keen eye to discover the genius hidden among the crowd.

Now, everyone was convinced by Shen Mengning.

"Miss Shen, I'm a little confused about this. Could you help me explain it?"

After seeing Shen Mengning's true level, everyone believed what the emperor said.

The discussions about eating, drinking and having fun all disappeared, and everyone came forward to ask Shen Mengning for advice.

Shen Fuyu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, a look of satisfaction flashing across his black and white eyes.

Shen Mengwu looked at her sister with admiration, and noticed that her sister was shining in the crowd, her lips were broken from smiling.

There is no jealousy at all, only admiration for Shen Mengning.

After the discussion ended, Shen Mengning finally squeezed out of the crowd, her face full of fear and fatigue.

"Shen Fuyu..."

Shen Mengning's tone rose unconsciously, and her eyes were filled with a bit of grievance when she looked at Shen Fuyu.

They are really energetic.

Shen Mengning's throat was almost hoarse. When she met someone with a stubborn personality, Shen Mengning would argue with him for a few words.

"It's not easy to be a teacher."

When Shen Mengning thought about the teacher having to deal with students with different personalities, she couldn't help but feel a headache for the teacher.

"Sister, have some tea."

Shen Mengwu smiled and took a cup of tea from the table and handed it to Shen Mengning's mouth. Shen Mengning took a sip, and the burning throat felt a little relieved.

The group of people who were in an excited state did not notice that someone was watching them carefully in the corner. They did not leave quietly until Shen Mengning drank the tea.

"Miss Shen!"

Some people gathered around again, and Shen Mengning was unknowingly led astray.

Shen Fuyu let Shen Mengning grow up and did not stay with her.

As time passed and Shen Mengning still hadn't returned, Shen Fuyu became anxious.

"Second Miss Shen, have you seen the eldest lady? Do you know where the eldest lady is?"

Shen Mengwu, who was having so much fun, finally realized what was happening.

"Sister hasn't come back yet?!"

The two looked at each other.

A bad premonition spread in their hearts. Shen Fuyu and the second young lady immediately put down the teacups in their hands and began to search in the venue. Shen Fuyu walked to the corner and used his spiritual energy to feel carefully.

Desperately searching for Shen Mengning's unique scent.

Blame her!
