The Zither Music Inspection came to a close amid the crowd's sighs and murmurs.
No matter how one spun it, Jiang Li's rendition of "Hu Jia Eighteen Beats" that day became the talk of Yanjing City. The doubts about her achieving three levels of examination dissipated for a moment. Moreover, the zither skills Jiang Li displayed had many people reassessing the bet between Miss Jiang the Second and the daughter of the Meng Family, and in the betting houses, some people even began to back Jiang Li for the win.
These changes were gradual but pervasive. Overnight, it seemed everyone had reached a consensus: Jiang Li was no worse than any other noble lady in Yanjing.
This was naturally a favorable turn for Jiang Li, but not for everyone else. Not to mention the other female students of Mingyi Hall whom Jiang Li had outshone, Meng Hongjin, the other party in the bet, was also filled with restlessness.
