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

Looking at the exhausted Helian Yun Shen, Yue Yao felt a pang of heartache for him. Without disturbing him as he rested from his exhaustion, she pulled him to rest quietly under a large tree.

"Perhaps if I hadn't had those thoughts in the first place, I wouldn't be in this dilemma. If we hadn't done those things, perhaps we could have been more honest with each other."

Looking at Helian Yun Shen resting on her shoulder beside her, Yue Yao felt a surge of emotion. For a moment, she didn't know whether to blame fate or Helian Yun Shen's sincerity and selfless devotion.

Or it could be something like, "We are friends," as he put it.

Unaware of Yueyao's complex emotions, Helian Yun Shen, who was fast asleep, was enjoying a peaceful dream while breathing in a comforting fragrance.

…………

Time turns like a wheel, and in the blink of an eye, it is already dusk, with the sun setting in the west, after several hours of rest.

Helian Yun Shen's condition also returned to normal.

Opening his eyes, he saw himself leaning against Yueyao's fragrant shoulder, and a deep sense of panic and tension welled up inside him.

He hurriedly lifted his head off Yueyao's fragrant shoulder, and his feet moved like a gust of wind, taking several steps back to increase the distance between himself and Yueyao.

"Miss Yuexi, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to."

Blushing, he apologized to Yueyao.

Seeing Helian Yun Shen's innocent expression, Yue Yao smiled and said it was alright.

At the same time, he spoke again to Helian Yun Shen.

"Young Master Helian, shall we continue on our way? There's no way to rest here."

"makes sense."

Upon hearing Yueyao's words, Helian Yun Shen looked around at the scenery. This desolate place was indeed not suitable for resting.

They stood up and walked side by side on the road again, heading towards a place where they could rest.

When we found a guesthouse where we could stay, it was already late at night, and the sky was still filled with the sight of a bright moon and few stars.

"Sir, would you like to eat or stay at the inn?"

The waiter greeted the two customers with a smile and inquired about their whereabouts. Helian Yun Shen looked at the waiter and spoke.

"Please arrange two rooms for me. Also, please prepare some meals."

"Waiter, I need a room!"

Helian Yun Shen had just finished speaking when a familiar voice came from behind him. Hearing the voice, Helian Yun Shen turned around to look.

Then I saw the person I had met not long ago!

Lei Mengsha, the Young Master of Zhuomo, is a very talkative person.

"Hey! Brother Yun Shen, it's such a coincidence to run into you here!"

The moment Helian Yun Shen turned his head, Lei Meng Sha saw his face. Lei Meng Sha recognized Helian Yun Shen at a glance and greeted him warmly.

He walked over and looked at Yueyao next to Helian Yunshen, slightly puzzled.

"May I ask who this girl is?"

"My name is Yue Xi. I have met this young master."

Upon hearing Lei Mengsha's question, Yueyao gracefully bowed and introduced herself. Looking at Yueyao, whose every gesture exuded aristocratic air, Lei Mengsha guessed that she must be a woman from a prestigious family.

"My name is Lei Mengsha. You can call me Mengsha, Miss Yuexi."

Hearing Yueyao's polite address, Lei Mengsha felt a little embarrassed to accept being addressed as "Young Master." He scratched the back of his head and replied to Yueyao.

After replying to Yueyao, he turned to look at Helian Yunshen.

"Young Brother Yun Shen, I didn't expect you to have already reached the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm in such a short time!"

"Brother Lei's cultivation has also improved since last time. I haven't had a chance to congratulate Brother Lei yet!"

Helian Yun Shen replied with a smile on his face.

Lei Mengsha listened to Helian Yunshen's words without saying anything, but he couldn't help but sigh at the extraordinary talent of this young man!

I am about five years older than him, yet I am still in the Great Freedom Realm while he has already broken through to the Carefree Heaven Realm. It is truly admirable how talented he is!

"Gentlemen, we only have two rooms left in the restaurant. What do you think?"

The waiter, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, spoke to the three of them, and Helian Yun Shen responded to what the waiter said.

"Brother Lei and I can share a room."

"I'll thank Yun Shen here. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

He expressed his gratitude, but instead of just taking advantage, he offered to treat her to dinner that evening. Helian Yun Shen initially intended to refuse, but Lei Meng Sha was simply too enthusiastic.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up.

After the three had finished discussing their plans, the waiter led them upstairs to their rooms. Once everything was settled, the waiter went downstairs to prepare the meal.

The inn's kitchen

"Shopkeeper, these three who came this time are all quite powerful. What should we do?"

"What to do? Of course, we'll just have to put up with it and make sure they leave our inn safely. We can do business without losing three people."

The shopkeeper listened to the waiter's words, slapped the waiter hard on the head, and replied to the waiter with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

The beaten waiter looked at the shopkeeper with some grievance.

She said it with a wronged expression.

"In that case, we should go and inform those people to prevent them from taking drastic measures tonight."

"Tell them to rest tonight, and let all the people staying at the inn pass. Don't make any noise, lest those three find out something."

We all suffered the consequences back then.

Listening to the waiter's words, the shopkeeper thought for a moment and finally decided to rest for the night and wait until the next day after these people had left.

The waiter didn't reply to these words, but quietly waited for the manager's instructions to go and tell them.

On the second floor of the inn

Helian Yunshen and the others were unaware of the thoughts between the inn's staff and manager. At that moment, the three of them were waiting in a room for their food to be served.

Let's sit down and chat.

"Brother Lei, what is the purpose of your trip this time?"

When asked this question, Lei Mengsha suddenly felt embarrassed and scratched her head. She sat in her seat and remained shy for a while before speaking.

"I'm going to Mingjian Manor."

"Famous Sword Manor? I heard my master mention this place when I lived in the small town. I heard it was a place where famous swords were often produced."

Many famous swordsmen would go there to ask for swords.

"But Brother Lei, aren't you from the Lei family of Jiangnan? I heard the Lei family doesn't shelve their swords and lay low? What are you doing there?"

When Helian Yun Shen heard about the Famous Sword Manor, he was very happy and talked about it with Lei Meng Sha. But as they talked, he felt that something was not right.

He then directly told Lei Mengsha what he felt was wrong.
