The Girl Tang Ying

A big tree was looked conspicuous in this garden. wind breezing made the leaf dancing around, butterflies flying around freely in the vicinity. calm pond with a number of fishes swimming on. near the tree.

Under this tree laid on his back against the grass is a boy closing his eye and resting his head on his arm. the boy was Xue Xin, after being led by the girl to this garden she left him alone.

Xue Xin ear twitched as he hears a footstep coming.

He opens his eyes to see a girl carrying a zither in her hand.

"Sorry for the wait. I need to take the zither in my room" smiled the girl.

"No problem" waving his hand as he didn't mind waiting here. it's nice laying around here.

"Before I play let me introduce my self again. my name Tang Ying" smiled the girl. yeah, this girl is Tang Ying that dragged him here.

'So bring him to play is mean having me listen to her playing her zither' thought Xue Xin.

"As you already knew. My name Xue Xin miss Tang" answer Xue Xin. I think it wouldn't mind calling her miss at her age.

"You can call me Little Ying. Grandpa said you are one year older than me" said Tang Ying while giggling.

"I'll call you that then. you can call me brother Xin if so" said Xue Xin.

'I wouldn't mind even if you call me grandpa' Xue Xin secretly thought. not like it will happen Xue Xin sniggered.

"I'll start playing my zither" said Tang Ying while sitting in from of him and preparing her zither.

I'm nodding at her and sitting properly to listen to her play.

Tang Ying calming herself and start plucking the zither playing a piece that she practiced a lot with her mentor.

Tang Ying never play her zither in front of anyone besides her family and her mentor.

So she feels happy that someone could listen her play her zither. she played the song that she mastered the most, she doesn't want to perform badly.

While playing her zither Tang Ying secretly snugged a look at the boy in front of her. he is closing his eyes relaxing himself enjoying himself from the song she performs.

Her face blushed slightly seeing his handsome face. at her age, she already has some knowledge for that matter. girl matured faster than a boy after all.

A girl playing her zither with a boy lean to a big tree. the atmosphere around so serene, this scene really depicted a form of peace if someone were to saw it.

Xue Xin leaning his back without him knowing. truthfully he never expected the girl to play so skillfully. his state of mind also became calmer.

He's tensed a lot after knowing he's reincarnating. that's why his action a little bit rigid and looks like someone that going to be judged by the law.

He is afraid of Grandpa Wei or someone else found out about his reincarnation.

He is afraid he would be regarded as some evil spirit that steals someone body.

But really, acting like the previous body owner is something he can't do. So he tried to create an image of a good kid instead.

Xue Xin subconsciously entering meditation state and start excavating his second mana pool.

When they have had dinner before Xue Xin's first mana pool already filled.

Tang Ying finished playing her zither and looked at Xue Xin, but Xue Xin still closing his eyes.

'He didn't sleep isn't he?' Tang Ying had a doubt look at Xue Xin, she is a bit displeased. she is already doing her best play her zither for him but here he is sleeping.

Tang Ying nudged the Xue Xin slightly while pouting.

"Hu..." Xue Xin opening his eyes abruptly, he feels someone touching him after he has done excavate his second pool.

'Huh' looking at the girl pouting in front of him Xue Xin a little bit confused 'What happens when I'm meditating?'

"Why are you sleeping" said Tang Ying a but angry seeing his reaction 'He must really sleep'

"I'm not sleeping! your zither play is really good that it calming my mind that I enter meditation state" explained Xue Xin hastily as he knows why the girl pouting at him now.

"Really?" a look of surprise can be seen in Tang Ying eyes.

"Really. I won't lie to you" nod Xue Xin giving an earnest look.

"Your zither is really good. little Ying very talented indeed" he's adding a little more praising word to appease her anger.

"Hehehe" the girl giggling, she is very happy someone praising the thing she takes proud of.

Tang Ying and Xue Xin keep chatting, the girl tells a story about her when she is at her house.

Her family always treat her the best because she is the only granddaughter in main family Tang Clan. that's why they doting her, but Tang Ying a little bit unhappy because she doesn't have any friend, the one accompanying her always her parents or brothers.

She is very fond of her Grandfather because he always brings Tang Ying to play outside unlike the others, her parent was always busy, and her brothers afraid something happens to her if they bring her outside the family manor, good thing she always obeying them and didn't throw a tantrum.

In the house beside playing around, she also studying under the mentor her parent hire, there are several mentors that teach her, like the one teaching her zither, embroidery, literature, etc.

She also studying alchemist under her grandfather, because Grandpa Wei is someone that has high attainment at alchemist.

She is also eager to quickly get 13 years old because her parent promise allowing her playing outside the family manor alone since Xue Xin already 13 years old that means the girl has one more years to have his current age.

Xue Xin listening to her telling about her, sometimes he nods and sometimes giving a short response to answer the girl questions when she asking about him.

Xue Xin also learning a lot about their family from conversing with her this time.

Unbeknown to them, Grandpa Wei was watching from far with a smile on his face, because Xue Xin didn't have enough mana to cast search magic make him didn't aware of this.

Search magic is a magic spell level 3 which will create a thin layer of mana spreading around the users, normally even if a magician didn't use this spell they can spread their mana outside their body and used it to sense their surrounding, but without the spell, it will use up a huge amount of mana, good thing in the past someone developing this spell and publicizing it made every magician can use it, even if they are still an apprentice magician.
