The next morning.

Shen An was in a sweet dream when he was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"Young Master! The Lord has given an order!"

The maid's anxious voice came from outside the door.

Shen An rubbed his sleepy eyes and thought:

"Again? Is Ling Shuangxue in menopause? Why is she looking for trouble every day?"

He opened the door lazily.

The maid immediately conveyed Ling Shuangxue's order.

"The Lord said that the young master must learn a song today. If he can't play it by the evening, he will chop off the young master's fingers!"

Shen An woke up instantly and his face turned pale.

"What? Chop off fingers? Is she crazy?"

The system reminded hurriedly.

"Host, go learn the piano quickly, don't cripple yourself!"

Shen An wanted to cry but had no tears.

"This is not learning the piano, this is to kill me!"

Helplessly, Shen An had to bite the bullet and start learning the piano.

He found the music sheet and practiced hard on the guqin.

"Ding Dong Ding Dong".

The sound of the guqin was so bad that it could kill people.

Shen An complained while practicing.

"If I really had this ability, would I still need to travel through time?"

In this way, Shen An practiced all day without sleep and forgetting to eat.

By the evening, his fingers had blisters.

But he finally played a barely acceptable song.

Ling Shuangxue walked into the piano room with a cold face.

"Let's start."

Shen An took a deep breath and started playing with trembling hands.

Although the notes would go out of tune from time to time, he finally played a complete song.

Ling Shuangxue listened expressionlessly and said lightly.

"Just passed. Your fingers are temporarily saved."

Shen An breathed a sigh of relief, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.

"Pass? Is it easy for me? Can you learn a piece of music in one day?"

Ling Shuangxue said coldly before turning away.

"Continue tomorrow. If there is no progress, you know the consequences."

Shen An almost fainted.

"What? Come again? You are torturing me to death!"

Back to the room.

Shen An looked at his swollen fingers and wanted to cry but had no tears.

"System, tell me, am I here to complete the task or to be tortured?"

The system comforted.

"Host, don't be discouraged, this may also be part of the task."

"Come on, I think Ling Shuangxue is bored and is making fun of me."

He sighed, resignedly picked up the music score and continued to practice.

After all, compared with losing a finger, the pain of practicing the piano is nothing.

One week later, the moon was in the sky and the courtyard was quiet.

Shen An sat on a bluestone, stroking the guqin with his fingers.

His appearance became more and more handsome, with long hair like a waterfall and eyes like stars, like a banished immortal.

Ling Shuangxue stood aside, wearing a white dress that was whiter than snow.

Her ice-blue eyes flashed with complex light.

She stared at Shen An quietly.

Shen An took a deep breath and began to play.

His fingers danced flexibly on the strings.

The melodious and graceful sound of the piano echoed in the night sky.

The moonlight sprinkled on him, giving him a layer of soft silver glow.

Ling Shuangxue closed her eyes, as if immersed in this beautiful melody.

The breeze blew past, gently blowing her hair and clothes, like a fairy in a painting.

The song ended.

Shen An exhaled gently and looked up at Ling Shuangxue.

Ling Shuangxue slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes were like two pools of autumn water under the moonlight.

She looked at Shen An coldly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"You finally look a bit like him."

Shen An just lowered his head and said softly.

"Thank you for your teaching, Your Excellency."

Ling Shuangxue turned around and faced away from Shen An.

The moonlight outlined her perfect silhouette.

"Keep practicing, don't let this good-looking body down."

After saying that, she left the courtyard coldly.

Leaving Shen An alone sitting in the moonlight, his fingers unconsciously stroking the strings.

Shen An looked at Ling Shuangxue's departing back.

He took a long breath and stretched his waist.

"Oh my, it's finally over. This Sword Master is really a hassle."

He muttered softly, stood up, and prepared to go back to the room.

The system suddenly appeared.

"Host, you play the piano well. Ling Shuangxue praised you."

"Come on, if it weren't for your 'Mastery of Piano' buff, I'm afraid I would have become a disabled person with missing fingers."

The system said proudly.

"Isn't this my wit? If I hadn't reminded you to exchange points for buffs, you wouldn't even be able to touch the strings now."

Shen An said as he walked.

"Okay, okay, you're the best. But to be honest, this buff is pretty powerful."

"You can play like this in just one week. I find it incredible."

"ThenYes, our buff is top-notch stuff. But host, don't get carried away, this buff also has a time limit. "

Shen An suddenly became nervous.

"What? There is a time limit? Doesn't that mean..."
