Chapter 670: Sister 266’s divine operation, impromptu arrangement: Simple_2
Bai Lian’s 4-minute and 28-second spear performance was edited into various shots, mostly featuring the final still frame.
Some included the spotlights at the beginning and her retreating spear move…
No matter which edit it was, each video garnered at least two hundred thousand likes, with the most popular one reaching several million.
The one Director Jian was watching featured her final aerial turn and retreating spear move.
The comments on this video were “Now I finally understand what my sister Heron meant when she said her skills were far from perfect. Compared to her, my sister Heron is out of her league.”
Spear and guzheng.
...
As it happened, Bai Lian was skilled at both.
“I’ve studied them,” Bai Lian said, somewhat surprised. “You called me so late just to ask about this?”
“Of course not. There is an international music exchange being held in Jiangjing,” Director Jian began on the main topic. “A gathering of the masters from the musical instrument field. You should come and find some inspiration when the time comes.”
This was Director Jian’s unique way of urging her to write a new song.
Bai Lian had to attend classes at Tongfeng, complete homework left by the professors, help Wang Xu and the others with Boyuan class’s questions, and even discuss ancient texts with Jian Zhe during her spare time.
During holidays, Director Ma would summon her to the laboratory. Her days were very fulfilling, but she hardly had any time to visit the music room.
“Sure,” Bai Lian said, scribbling down another equation, her mind clearly elsewhere.
“I have an old friend who I think would really like you,” Director Jian, recognizing the dutiful but distracted tone in her voice, knew she must be doing her homework. “Never mind, you finish your homework first.”
He hung up the phone.
Looking again at the tablet, proficient in guzheng, interpreting “The White Robed Journey” so beautifully, and this retreating spear move that became an overnight sensation on the internet, Director Jian remembered that back in Xiangcheng, Bai Lian was quite familiar with the head of the Calligraphy Association.
Even his own great-nephew heeded Bai Lian’s words closely.
All members of the Jian family could write in the Liang style, and although Director Jian was not highly skilled, he could write it as well.
He had seen Bai Lian’s writing, which was neat and carried a unique style of Guange body. So he wondered, could she also write in Liang style?
If she could write in Liang style too…
Director Jian thought.

On the first day of vacation, countless tourists visited Jiangjing.
The entrance to Jiang University was especially crowded with tourists. Although Jiang University had always attracted many visitors each year, none compared to this year, when tourists crowded the entrance early in the morning.
Jiang University restricted the number of reservation visitors each day, but those who couldn’t enter didn’t leave and simply used their phones to take photos at the entrance.
Those who could go inside would first visit the square, then the auditorium to see last night’s venue, and finally search for the Physics Faculty.
The number of people coming to check in at the Physics Faculty was beyond counting.
The usually low-profile Physics Faculty had never expected to rise in popularity this way.
Dean Huang lived in the university-provided housing.
Staff from the academic office and teachers of advanced mathematics, who lived next door, came over early to discuss the situation with him. The influx of visitors was too great; Bai Lian’s traditional Chinese music coupled with her martial arts, already a high-achieving student from Jiang University, was driving traffic to her videos on social media.
It sparked a trend of “Jiang University style” and “traditional martial arts.”
Many official bodies wanted to contact Bai Lian, but no one had her contact details. Unable to find any information, they all turned to the Physics Department.
“What does the Martial Association want with her?” Dean Huang, while grading the topology problems submitted by the Tongfeng class, couldn’t help but retort, “We don’t give out her contact information to them, no, and as for the general netizens…”
Dean Huang chuckled, “I hope they work hard and get into our Physics Faculty one day, to be in the same major as classmate Bai Lian.”
“Your Physics Department’s scores are already ridiculously high; are you going to set them even higher next year?” The calculus professor couldn’t help but put down his teacup. “Leave some students for us, will you?”
Dean Huang didn’t respond, moving on to the next answer sheet.
Neat and attractive handwriting.
It was immediately pleasing to his eyes.
While Academician Ma was busy and could only spare time for one class a week at Tongfeng, it was rare enough, and the homework problem sets were corrected by his disciple, Dean Huang. Whenever he encountered a remarkable answer, he would send it directly to Academician Ma.
These were the papers Bai Lian and the others submitted last week.
Dean Huang nodded, the handwriting looked nice, but… something felt a bit off.
Next to him, the advanced mathematics professor also noticed this, he “huh” out loud, “Isn’t this our Boyuan class’s exam paper?”
“What Boyuan class,” Dean Huang’s brow twitched, he quickly pushed that paper to the bottom of the pile, “This is a Tongfeng class’s exam paper, you saw it wrong.”
The next one was still Bai Lian’s exam paper, thankfully this time it was a topology question.
“That is our Boyuan class’s logo.” The maths teacher put down his teacup and insisted on taking the exam paper from Dean Huang’s hands, examining it carefully from top to bottom.
He taught first-year university physics students advanced mathematics, but the mathematics majors didn’t take advanced mathematics, he taught real variables in the Boyuan class.
This question was the one he assigned last time, he could recognize it at a glance.
Dean Huang watched expressionlessly as the look on the maths professor’s face grew brighter and brighter.
Inside, he was frantically complaining, what was Bai Lian up to, how did she even have time to do Boyuan class’s problems?!
What kind of slick move was his little junior sister pulling, huh.
“I think…” the advanced maths professor, holding the exam paper, looked at Dean Huang.
Dean Huang snatched back the exam paper, looked up, “You shouldn’t think, be careful or I’ll have the teacher hit you.”
The advanced maths professor: “…?”

Bai Lian was unaware that Tang Ming and Ning Xiao had turned in both of her answer sheets together after reviewing them.
She was popular these days, but her high school and university classmates were nice, and they didn’t sell her WeChat info everywhere; her phone number also wasn’t exposed.
Basically, nobody was harassing her, Bai Lian herself was very relaxed.
Of course, that was except for the daily harassing messages Xu Zhiyue sent her on WeChat.
Xu Zhiyue: [[AhAhAhAhAhAh.jpg]]
Xu Zhiyue: [Sister, are you coming today?]
Xu Zhiyue: [Sister, are you coming today?]
Xu Zhiyue: […]
She began flooding Bai Lian’s screen again.
Today was the 2nd, the Xu Family was holding a full-moon celebration for Xu En’s child, with the banquet set at noon.
Bai Lian had just returned from her morning run, sent her a symbol, and Xu Zhiyue stopped.
Scrolling down, the next message was from Ye Jingxian.
Ye Jingxian: [Junior sister, where is your opening bgm from? A lot of netizens want to know, the student council’s phone lines are being blown up.]
Bai Jian: [Just improvised, doesn’t have a name]
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
On the other side of the phone, Ye Jingxian was startled by Bai Lian’s message and sat up from her bed in the dorm.
Such a rhythmic music that had caused so much noise among netizens and could be called a divine composition was actually made up on the spot?
Ye Jingxian looked at the student council’s group chat, thought for a bit, then asked Bai Lian—
[Junior sister, can you post this music online? Netizens are all begging for the original track.]
The student council had the original audio sent by Bai Lian; there were also recordings from the event online, but live recordings always fell short in quality.
This music wasn’t related to Bai Lian, she took a screenshot and sent it to Dean Jian.
Dean Jian: [1]
Half an hour later, Jiang University’s Physics Department’s student council posted an audio source on Weibo:
[Here’s the audio source everyone has been searching for. Asked junior sister and she said it was improvised with no name, just have a quick listen.]
