The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 16: Personally Teaching

Chu Jin Yao blinked, not understanding. Qin Yi was really an unpredictable person. She was sincerely asking, so why did he laugh? She was somewhat unhappy and planned to question him after he finished laughing but the fellow laughed endlessly. As such, she could only interrupt him, “I am asking you properly. Be more serious about it and don’t laugh.”

With a relaxed smile on his lips, Qin Yi replied lightly, “It could be that the teacher that taught me was better.”

The Crown Prince had been specially taught by scholars since he was a child and these people must not only have profound knowledge, they had to have noble morals and prominent reputations too. In the entire court of civil ministers and Generals, it could be said that the Prime Ministers and important ministers throughout the dynasties who could be the tutor of the Crown Prince would be proud of it. It was not just normally good to be Qin Yi’s teacher.

However, Chu Jin Yao did not know the value of the teacher that Qin Yi mentioned. When she heard that the other party’s teacher was good, her thoughts paused. “It is said that famous teachers make valued students. If the teacher is good, then normal people would not be able to imitate them no matter how much they learn. It is better for me to honestly practice.”

Qin Yi took a step to the side, hooked his fingers to signal Chu Jin Yao to come closer. She hesitated, “This…” Qin Yi currently had the visuals of a young male. As it was improper for male and female to touch each other’s hand in passing objects, how could she be so close with him?

When Qin Yi saw that Chu Jin Yao had not moved, he stretched his hand out and pulled her directly over, “Hurry up. I cannot leave the jade pendant for too long. If one does not teach by hand, there would not be any result in practicing.”

As Chu Jin Yao’s wrist was being held, she could only see the other party’s slender fingers. Qin Yi was still in a spirit state, thus his fingers were still translucent, but even so, it did not prevent him from covering her wrist with only one hand. With just a little force, he was able to pull her over.

Chu Jin Yao strangely felt that this was a pair of hands that practiced martial arts. If one did not practice martial arts, their fingers would not be this long and powerful.

How long has Qin Yi been cultivating that he was this powerful in both martial and scholarly arts? As Chu Jin Yao was thinking about it in a daze, there was a sudden flick on her forehead. Even though it was not painful, it was enough to wake her up.

“What are you doing?” Chu Jin Yao clutched her forehead, displeased, she glared at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi raised his brows, “Oh, is reason at your side for being distracted? Hold the brush properly and write as I have spoken.”

Chu Jin Yao’s heart was set on learning and if she did not concentrate, her pigtail would be caught by Chu Jin Miao. She immediately retracted her thoughts and listened carefully to Qin Yi’s words. Standing beside her, he taught her how to handle the brush, move the brush, lift it up and when she was unable to do it well, he would directly reach out and hold the brush to correct her as he was of an impatient character. He was to her left, and every time he wanted to hold the brush, his arms would stretch out from behind her as he monitored her corrections. Chu Jin Yao was very uncomfortable. She told herself that Qin Yi was a spirit and did not have any sense of guarding against males or females so she should not be calculative with him on such matters. When such matters recurred often, she slowly got used to it. She let him hold her hand and move on the paper and her writing became smoother.

Chu Jin Yao had previously rarely written. She was very afraid of the brush and ink but now, with Qin Yi, she actually started to get used to it quickly. When he let go afterwards, she could write a few decent words. Chu Jin Yao was very happy in her heart and turned around to say, “Look, I can write by myself!”
