Chapter 1441: Zhang Jiang
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
Known as one of the most talented female offspring of the Zhang Clan, Zhang Ziqing was a celebrity among the younger generation. On top of that, she had a graceful disposition and ravishing looks, which led to her having many suitors. Each day, there would be many men who tried to approach her, hoping that they might just luck out and win her fancy, and this had become a major source of annoyance for her.
As such, she had once declared that no matter who the person was, as long as his age was not beyond thirty and he was able to surpass her in the fields of zither, chess, and painting, she would marry that man without any hesitation.
While she did say such words, it was just to stop others from harassing her. After all, she did not think that there would be anyone in the world who could best her in those three fields.
But who could have thought that there would a man who was actually able to triumph over her in the field of painting so easily?
Even though this fellow's personality isn't too good, and his words are very jarring, there's no denying that he's a person of great ability. It might not be too bad to marry him.
Such was the thought that flashed across Zhang Ziqing's mind upon hearing someone amid the crowd reminding her of the matter.
Never in her life had she contemplated the notion of marrying any man before as she had always felt that they were all unworthy of her consideration, but if it was this man... she might just be able to grudgingly accept it.
As soon as such a notion took root in her mind, it swiftly grew at a pace where even she was unable to repress it anymore. Thus, she turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "May I know if Zhang shi is skilled at the zither too?"
"I do play it from time to time," Zhang Xuan replied with a nod.
Well, he was actually an 8-star demonic tunist, but it would still be best for him to keep a low profile.
"Then... what about chess?"
"I'm afraid that I don't know a thing about it." Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He had learned many occupations, but chess simply was not in the set of skills that he was interested in, so he had never really sought to learn it. As such, it could be said that he knew next to nothing about it.
"It's fine, I can teach you. Does Zhang shi want to drop by my humble abode to have a further discussion about the arts?" Zhang Ziqing asked with a slightly reddened face.
The intention behind her words was very clear. In a sense, this could already be considered as good as a confession.
"Discussion about the arts?" Zhang Xuan frowned a little before shaking his head. "It's only out of convenience that I have picked up those arts, and I consider them a pastime. I have already spent two days studying painting, and pardon me, but I'm afraid that I have no interest in devoting any more time into it."
He was here to face slap the Zhang Clan and force the young prodigy to appear, so how could he possibly have any spare time to learn about the arts or the whatnot?
Besides, I can further my understanding of the arts just by collecting the relevant books. Do I need to waste my time discussing them with you?
Hearing the young man's rejection, Zhang Ziqing's complexion immediately turned rather awful. However, she swiftly noticed a certain detail in the young man's statement, and she could not help but ask, "Did you say that you have only spent two days studying painting?"
