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

The cold, questioning voice reached the ears of these men. Faced with such a chilling interrogation, the guards were now in a dilemma; it would be difficult to explain themselves if they simply took their leave and returned to the young lady.

When the young lady explains to the master that they, the guards and servants, will inevitably be whipped by the master.

"I'm asking you a question."

The icy voice rang out again.

No sooner had she finished speaking than the carriage caught up. The young lady, sitting in the carriage, watched as the guards hesitated and dared not step forward.

He immediately started swearing.

"You good-for-nothings! What have you been doing with my father's money? You can't even do a proper job!"

The guards, already resentful from the young lady's insults, felt even more frustrated and at a loss for what to do. At that moment, one of the guards mustered his courage and spoke to the young lady.

"Young Miss, the opponent is a master of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. Even if we all joined forces, we would not be a match for him."

When the message about the carefree heavenly realm reached the young lady's ears, she, who had been somewhat arrogant and domineering, lost her temper.

Looking at Helian Yun Shen, who was as gentle and refined as jade, with an air of unparalleled elegance and noble bearing, she still couldn't give up the sordid thoughts she harbored for him.

"Let's get going!"

After much deliberation, the young lady decided to wait until she reached her hometown of Ninghe City before making any decisions. She believed that her loving father would be able to grant her request.

Upon hearing the young lady's words, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to Helian Yun Shen with fear and apology on his face.

"Young master, please forgive us for disturbing you!"

Helian Yun Shen ignored their so-called apology and had no intention of fighting them. To resort to violence over such a trivial matter would make him appear petty.

He snorted coldly and continued on his way.

…………

dusk

After a day's journey on the official road, Helian Yun Shen finally arrived at the next place where he could rest. However, seeing the three characters "Ninghe City" written on the city gate gave him a headache.

This looks like the hometown of that so-called young lady!

"Rest for one night, and we can set off directly tomorrow. We won't have to worry about these things then."

There were no other large towns nearby where he could rest, and with the sky already so dark, Helian Yunshen could only console himself with this thought.

The moment they stepped into Ninghe City, the soldiers guarding the city recognized from the description given by the Earl of Ninghe that this was the person they had been asked to wait for.

He hurriedly ran to the Ninghe Earl's residence.

"Father, that person has already arrived. Go! Go!"

Upon hearing the soldier's report, Guan Fangmei, her plump body swaying, acted coquettishly towards her elderly father. Lord Ninghe, Guan Sheng, seeing his beloved daughter acting so affectionately, smiled gently and ruffled her hair.

Road.

"Okay, I'll do as you say and go prepare those right away."

"Thank you, daddy!"

Upon hearing her father's words, Guan Fangmei immediately gave him a joyful hug and expressed her gratitude. She then waddled out of the front hall, leaving Guan Sheng with a considerable headache after his daughter's departure.

"Let's give it a try!"

After suffering from a headache, Guan Sheng, who loves his daughter dearly, decided to go and try it out to see if he could succeed.

In an inn in the city

Helian Yun Shen used the money Yue Yao had given him to book a room, and then sat on a stool in the room, quietly pondering the content of the new killing song.

"Perhaps I can create some phantoms that can launch attacks by killing the song, and let them use their fists and feet to attack."

Muttering these words, he suddenly had an inspiration. Following this inspiration, he continued to think, and was just reaching a crucial moment.

There was a knock on the door.

His thoughts were abruptly interrupted by the sound, which displeased Helian Yun Shen. He pushed open the door with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

He looked at the people standing outside and said in a cold voice.

"What's matter?"

"My name is Guan Sheng, the Earl of Ninghe. May I come in for a chat, sir?"

When Guan Sheng was questioned by Helian Yun Shen, he introduced himself to Helian Yun Shen in a very kind and humble manner. After listening to this introduction, Helian Yun Shen quickly recalled the information.

“I have no interest in your daughter. I already have someone in my heart, so there’s no need for me to say anything here.”

After saying that, he prepared to close the door.

Guan Sheng did not leave immediately in response to Helian Yun Shen's statement, but instead raised his hand to stop Helian Yun Shen from closing the door.

When the door was stopped from closing, Helian Yun Shen stopped trying to close it and stood there quietly listening to what he was about to say.

"Young master, I am the city lord of Ninghe City, and the Earl of Ninghe bestowed by the imperial court. If you marry my daughter, everything here will be yours."

After all, she's my only daughter.

Moreover, I can guarantee that you will rise through the ranks in the imperial court to positions you have never held before.

how is it? "

The words of enticement came out of Guan Sheng's mouth.

This so-called bribery had no effect on Helian Yun Shen. He had no interest in becoming an official, and with his strength at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, he actually entered the officialdom.

Even without such so-called assistance, one can still obtain a good return from the imperial court.

"I have no interest in being an official, nor in being a so-called city lord. It's a waste of your time to tell me all this."

After all, I have absolutely no interest in your daughter.

"Of course, if you don't listen to me, we can have a fight, anywhere outside the city."

This refusal was even more decisive than the previous one, and Guan Sheng didn't give a direct answer. He was also hesitant to take action against Helian Yun Shen, as he was well aware of his own limitations.

"In that case, I will not disturb you any longer, young master."

He finished speaking in a friendly manner and left immediately. The moment he turned around, the friendly demeanor vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Having long held a high position and always been subjected to the admiration and flattery of others, Guan Sheng was naturally not happy to be rejected by such a junior, and twice in a row.

Watching Guan Sheng and the others leave, Helian Yun Shen closed the door again. As for Guan Sheng's attitude, that was naturally not something he should consider.

Whether his attitude is good or bad has nothing to do with me.

"Since it is a powerful phantom created through music, the amount of true energy mobilized must be considerable."

But how should it be played?

The basic idea was finalized, but how to play it was a real problem for Helian Yunshen.

After thinking it over, he simply took out his jade flute and began trying to play tunes and melodies, hoping to figure it out.
