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

"I really should go to the next town to find a doctor to take a look at my arm."

Lei Mengsha felt the pain in her arm, and nodded in response to Helian Yunshen.

While Helian Yun Shen was concerned about Lei Meng Sha, Yue Yao, who was resting next to Helian Yun Shen, noticed that Helian Yun Shen was not in good condition and asked him about it with concern.

"Young Master Helian, how are you?"

"I'm fine, but I suffered some backlash at that time. It caused internal injuries, but I can recover with a little internal energy regulation. It's not a big problem."

In response to Yueyao's question, Helian Yun Shen replied. At the same time, noticing the dried blood at the corner of Yueyao's mouth, he asked with great concern and worry.

"Miss Yuexi, how are you?"

"Like Young Master Helian, I suffered some internal injuries. They're not serious; a little internal energy manipulation will allow me to recover. There are no other injuries."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Helian Yunshen breathed a sigh of relief.

Lei Mengsha observed their conversation and, judging from their demeanor, became certain that their relationship was quite unusual.

At the same time, it's quite frustrating.

Both were in battle, yet my side suffered such severe injuries—internal injuries and fractures—while the other two only had minor internal injuries.

That's so unfair!

Although I grumbled a few times in my mind, I didn't take it to heart in the end.

Outside the inn

The cautious and fearful innkeeper, seeing that Lord Lai Shouyu had not yet emerged from the inn, had already made up his mind to run.

Lord Lai Shouyu may already be dead.

"Running away is the best option!"

Having said that, he mounted his horse again and rode away.

In the inn

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, the three knew there were still people outside. Without thinking, they rushed out, only to find that the person had already gone far away.

Given that the three of them are still not fully recovered, it is unlikely that they can catch up with a fast horse.

So they decided not to pursue them.

"The one who just ran away must have been the innkeeper from back then."

"Ok!"

"It's so unfair to let this accomplice get away!"

Lei Mengsha was filled with resentment, muttering through gritted teeth. This resentment inadvertently aggravated the injury on his arm, causing him to wince in pain.

…………

After a night's rest, the three set off again.

After traveling for more than half a day, they arrived at a small town of some size. There, Lei Mengsha received simple treatment for her broken arm, shared a meal together, and then the three of them parted ways.

"We'll meet again someday, though mountains and rivers may separate us!"

"We'll meet again someday, though mountains and rivers may separate us!"

After saying goodbye to each other, the three of them went their separate ways.

Lei Mengsha headed towards the Famous Sword Manor, while Helian Yunshen and Yueyao continued towards the next town.

…………

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Helian Yun Shen and Yue Yao have experienced a lot together. After spending so much time together, Helian Yun Shen is no longer as shy and nervous towards Yue Yao as he was at the beginning.

As Yueyao spent more time with Helian Yunshen, she became increasingly reluctant to let him go to the Outer Heavens with her to cultivate the Void Thought Technique.

She didn't want Helian Yun Shen to suffer such danger.

“Young Miss, more than a month has passed. We cannot continue to delay like this. Please take the person with the innate martial vein that we have found back to Tianwaitian as soon as possible.”

In Yueyao's room at the town inn under the cover of night

The maid appeared beside Yueyao and spoke to her earnestly. Her words urged Yueyao to complete the task quickly, and Yueyao pursed her lips upon hearing this.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"Young Master Helian is not a person born with martial veins!"

"Ok?"

These words caused the maid to abruptly look up at Yueyao, her eyes filled with disbelief. She didn't quite understand what the young lady was saying, or why she would utter such words.

That guy's strength was terrifying, his talent and comprehension were exceptionally strong, and yet he wasn't born with a martial vein. What kind of person would be born with a martial vein?

"Young Miss, do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course I know what I'm talking about. Although that guy has strong talent, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. After all, there is a big difference in the difference between those who are born with martial veins. It can only mean that Young Master Helian has extraordinary talent."

Seeing that her words were refuted by the maid, Yueyao displayed the demeanor of a young lady and the acting sect leader of the Tianwaitian Sect, and spoke to her again.

Hearing this, the maid gritted her teeth and said finally.

"Young Miss, are you sure?"

"I'm sure. After spending more than a month together, I know a lot about Young Master Helian's lineage and so on. Only after understanding the situation did I realize that my initial judgment was wrong."

Faced with the questioning, Yueyao lied to the maid without batting an eye. The maid thought about it and realized that what the young lady said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

"Then please, young lady, return to the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect with us as soon as possible."

"I will bid farewell to Young Master Helian tomorrow and then return to the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect."

You can go down now!

"Yes, Miss."

The maid nodded and turned to leave Yueyao's room.

in the room

Yueyao sat quietly in the chair, looking up at the moon outside, a trace of sadness appearing in her eyes. She felt incredibly unfilial for doing this, unable to stand firm in her own heart.

However, she couldn't bear to see things continue like this. A thought kept telling her that she couldn't let Young Master Helian get hurt.

"I am truly a failed acting sect leader and a failed princess of the Northern Kingdom."

In another room

Helian Yun Shen sat quietly by the window, looking at the scenery and the moon outside. As he looked at the moon, he was thinking of Yue Yao in the next room.

"I wonder if Miss Yuexi is asleep?"

…………

Second day

"Miss Yuexi, are you leaving?"

Hearing Yueyao say she was leaving, Helian Yun Shen felt a deep sense of reluctance. At that moment, he longed to hold Yueyao's hand and plead with her, "Please don't leave me, okay?"

Such thoughts merely arise in the mind.

The words that came out of his mouth were different.

"Could you tell me where you live? Can I come to you then?"

When asked where she lived, Yueyao pursed her lips and didn't dare to reveal her home's location. She was afraid that if she did, Young Master Helian would go to the Outer Heavens.

The outcome will be beyond her comprehension.

"Young Master Helian, do you like me?"

Not knowing how to answer, Yueyao finally uttered the words she least wanted to say. Helian Yun Shen was struck dumb by the question.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
