The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

Should we continue fighting?

Lu Suzhen straightened her clothes and looked at Helian Yunshen, asking in a calm voice. Although she pretended to be calm, the violent heaving of her chest and the unusual expression on her face told her that Lu Suzhen's condition was not much better than Helian Yunshen's.

Wiping away the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, Helian Yun Shen stood up, found his folding fan amidst the ruins, and walked to Lü Su Zhen.

The voice carried a hint of pleading:

"Master Lü, is it really impossible for you to tell me?"

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed; some things require those involved to figure them out themselves. Only when Young Master Helian has grasped the true outcome will the time be right."

"To reveal this would be to divulge heavenly secrets, which would be very detrimental to my cultivation."

He shook his head, not giving Helian Yun Shen the answer he wanted to know.

When the words reached Helian Yunshen's ears, his face was filled with disappointment, but he did not continue fighting with Lü Suzhen.

The battle has just ended.

He was outmatched by Lü Suzhen in their battle; he was far inferior to Lü Suzhen in strength, so there was no need for him to fight to the death.

It's just a little bit off!

“Young Master Helian, this book of mine is about Taoist matters, involving divination and prognosis. I cannot explain it to you, but perhaps you can comprehend divination and prognosis yourself to understand your own affairs.”

Seeing Helian Yun Shen so distraught, Lü Su Zhen couldn't bear to see such a talented young man troubled by such a matter, so she came up with a different idea.

Let Helian Yun Shen learn on his own, and then he can perform divination and deduction for himself. In that case, it won't be considered that he revealed heavenly secrets.

As for his learning, he will naturally know the taboos of divination.

Whether or not a taboo is broken depends on how he acts.

He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Lü Suzhen. He glanced at the book Lü Suzhen took out of her bosom, but only for a moment before taking it from her.

"I thank you very much, Master!"

After accepting the book, Helian Yunshen expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Lü Suzhen.

Lu Suzhen merely smiled slightly at the gratitude and then headed towards Qingcheng Mountain, not lingering there any longer.

Instead of going up the mountain, Helian Yunshen went to the house at the foot of the mountain where he had left his white horse. He took his white horse from there, mounted it, and left.

On the mountain

"Master, this Helian Yun Shen is actually so powerful!"

"This Helian Yun Shen is truly a peerless genius of our time. With his current achievements, he may be able to enter the legendary Divine Realm before he turns twenty."

At that time, even I, as his teacher, might not be able to compare with him.

"Is it that powerful?"

Wang Yixing was quite surprised to hear his master's high praise. This was the first time his master had ever given such an evaluation to a young person.

Looking at his disciple, he raised his hand and patted Wang Yixing on the back of the head twice, speaking with a serious expression.

"You! I told you to focus on your cultivation, but you're always thinking about going down the mountain and about useless things. Now you know how big the gap is between your strength and others, right?"

“Master, you are making things difficult for your disciple. With Helian Yun Shen’s talent, how many people in this world can compare to him?”

I consider myself quite talented, but I still know my own limitations when I'm in his shoes.

Faced with his master's lecture, Wang Yihang was quite speechless.

He was surprised that his master thought so highly of him, comparing him to a genius like Helian Yun Shen, whose talent was unparalleled in the world. He was flattered and overwhelmed.

"I won't say any more to you. Focus on your cultivation! Diligence can make up for lack of talent. It's good that such geniuses exist. They can inspire you all to cultivate harder and improve your strength."

Finally, he said something to his disciple Wang Yixing, then turned around and went back to his room, closing the door and ignoring what was happening outside.

Meanwhile, on Helian Yunshen's side

Sitting on his horse, he took out the book that Lü Suzhen had given him and started reading it. The contents of the book gave Helian Yun Shen a bit of a headache!

"The things behind this gate are mysterious and profound, just like those in Buddhism. The most striking thing is that it's a bit hard to understand what they're about!"

Despite his complaints, Helian Yun Shen did not give up.

I tried my best to read through the book and understand its contents.

…………

The battle between Helian Yun Shen and Lü Su Zhen swept across the entire Northern Jianghu like locusts in just a few days, surprising every sect and family that knew of it.

At the same time, attention and vigilance towards Helian Yun Shen have increased again.

Qiandongcheng

In the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion

"It seems that our initial idea of ​​befriending him was absolutely right. Young Master Helian is so powerful. He will be able to protect Dongjun from danger, at least until Dongjun grows up to be able to protect himself completely."

"Alas! His Majesty is far too wary of the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion. If only the late Emperor were still alive."

Hearing his son's words, the Marquis of Zhenxi sighed. His words revealed his longing for the late emperor, recalling how he had fought valiantly under the emperor's trust, achieving great military exploits.

They established a formidable reputation!

But it has indeed turned out this way.

“Father, His Majesty is not the late Emperor. It is normal for him to be wary of the Marquis of Zhenxi’s mansion, after all, you were a person from the late Emperor’s era. Moreover, when His Majesty ascended the throne, you chose to watch from the sidelines and did not offer your support.”

He certainly wouldn't trust us.

It's normal for them to suppress us.

"You're a very insightful kid."

Hearing his son speak so clearly about these things, the Marquis of Zhenxi was very pleased.

Meanwhile, in Tianqi City

In the Imperial Study of the Northern Li Palace

Emperor Tai'an looked at the intelligence report sent by his secret guards. He felt a mix of joy and worry about the matter, and the feeling that had finally calmed down in his heart rose again.

He stood up, looked out the window, and lit the note in the candlelight.

"Why isn't such a gifted person a member of my Northern Li royal family? If this person were a core member of my Northern Li royal family, my Northern Li royal family would be able to control the world even better."

I wouldn't be so worried or distrustful of the martial arts world.

A sigh escaped from Emperor Tai'an's lips.

He sighed with regret that Helian Yun Shen was not a member of his Northern Li royal family, and also lamented that even if he wanted to use his daughter for a marriage alliance.

The result was always disappointing; the other party had absolutely no interest in his daughter.

Why can't Helian Yun Shen's daughter attract his attention when she is also a beautiful woman?

"Ugh!"
