Speaking up to this point, Xian Cheng frowned. He thought that Feng Jianing would reject him, but before he could speak, he heard Feng Jianing change the topic. “I think that person must be Aunt Yiru’s good friend. Since Mr. Xian requested it personally, and this notebook is especially important to your friend in the Seven Stars Continent. In that case, I’m willing to fulfill your wish and give this notebook to Mr. Xian’s friend. Anyway, I’ve long memorized the content of the notebook.”

Hearing that Feng Jianing wanted to give the notebook to him so readily, Xian Cheng was a little surprised. However, he quickly reacted and said, “In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. Of course, I won’t take Miss Jianing’s things for nothing. I wonder if Miss Jianing has any needs?”

Feng Jianing almost blurted out, “I want Mr. Xian to take me in as your disciple and teach me how to play the piano!”

Xian Cheng was slightly stunned. This request was something he had never thought of. Xian Cheng looked at Feng Jianing meaningfully. No wonder she agreed so readily. It turned out that she had long thought about it. Previously, the information showed that Feng Jianing was a freshman in the piano department of the Capital University’s Music Academy. Moreover, Feng Jianing had been learning to play the piano since she was young. She also had a basic piano foundation. She was once called the piano princess of the Capital University.

Worried that Xian Cheng wouldn’t agree, Feng Jianing said obsequiously, “Mr. Xian, actually, I’ve always been your fan because I’ve loved playing the piano since I was young. I even went crazy for it. I hope to be able to get your guidance on this.”

Xian Cheng hesitated for a moment and finally agreed. “Alright, no problem. I’ll take you in as my disciple.”

Hearing that Xian Cheng had really agreed, Feng Jianing was so happy that she almost flew up on the spot. Her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. The famous piano prince of the Seven Stars Continent, the world-class piano master, Xian Cheng, was actually willing to take her in as his disciple. This was simply too dreamlike!

Feng Jianing couldn’t hide her excitement and couldn’t even speak properly. “Re-really? Is Mr. Xian really willing to take me in as your disciple? I heard that you have been in the industry for ten years and have never taken in any disciples…”

Xian Cheng said with a dignified expression, “Miss Feng Jianing, please believe me. As long as you’re willing to follow me to the Seven Stars Continent, not only will you be my first disciple, but you’ll also be my only disciple.”

After obtaining Xian Cheng’s confirmation, Feng Jianing was so excited that she felt like she was about to explode on the spot. She had already used all her strength to control the excitement in her heart. The youngest piano master in the world had taken her in as his disciple, and she was his only disciple. Just the thought of it made her so excited that she didn’t know how to express it. If not for the fact that she had to maintain her image in front of Xian Cheng, she would have screamed out loud.

Compared to her, Feng Yuanzhou’s expression was more realistic. He bent his legs on the spot and knelt down to Xian Cheng. His daughter had been taken in as Xian Cheng’s disciple, which was equivalent to finding a backer in the Seven Stars Continent. This made Feng Yuanzhou feel happy and proud for Feng Jianing from the bottom of his heart. This was definitely a pleasant surprise.

Feng Yuanzhou said excitedly, “Mr. Xian, I was only prepared to hold a small farewell ceremony for my daughter, but since you’ve agreed to take my daughter in as your disciple, this is a joyous occasion for our Feng family, so we have to hold a grand apprenticeship banquet. Only then will it be considered official!”

Hearing Feng Yuanzhou’s words, Xian Cheng waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to trouble yourself. I prefer quiet and don’t like to be disturbed and have unnecessary social engagements. Moreover, the secular red tape is meaningless to me. As long as Miss Feng Jianing goes to the Seven Stars Continent with me, she will be my only disciple. I never go back on my words and will definitely do what I say. You can rest assured about this. When the time comes, I naturally won’t treat her badly.”

Seeing that Xian Cheng rejected, Feng Yuanzhou didn’t give up and said, “Mr. Xian, in my opinion, we still have to hold this apprenticeship banquet. It’s not because our Feng family wants to swagger around, but purely to follow Xia country’s tradition. Only by holding the apprenticeship banquet can our Jianing be considered your real disciple, and everyone can be a witness. Otherwise, it’s just a verbal agreement between us. Firstly, it will show that our Feng family doesn’t value this matter and is disrespectful to you. Secondly, I’m afraid no one will believe it if word gets out. It will be a little unofficial.”

Xian Cheng said, “It’s between us if I take her in as my disciple. There’s no need to spread it everywhere. Besides, this matter can’t be hidden. At that time, the world will naturally know. At least, this will spread throughout the music world very quickly.”
