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

Luo Xuan didn't think this was a trap for Xiao Ruofeng. In essence, this matter was very important to their Xiao family, after all, their Xiao family was the ruler of the Northern Li Dynasty!

Will Prince Xiao agree to this?

Compared to what the two were discussing, Helian Yun was more worried about whether Prince Xiao would agree to the matter. If he didn't agree, wouldn't all the preparations have been in vain?

"Don't worry, Ruofeng is a very loyal person, and I will not turn a blind eye to things that may endanger the people and the stability of Beili."

"We can just send him a letter when the time comes."

This concern was quickly dispelled by Lei Mengsha's reply.

Having heard this explanation, Helian Yun Shen stopped asking questions. He himself didn't know much about this matter, so he could only listen to the two's arrangements.

Luo Xuan and Lei Mengsha quickly discussed the contents and also wrote a letter, which they would arrange for someone to deliver when they left.

After that, the three of them only need to wait quietly here.

…………

This wait lasted for three days. During these days, the three of them did the same thing as usual, either going out for a stroll or sitting together chatting while waiting for the result.

In the Ninghe Marquis's Mansion in Ninghe City

Guan Sheng didn't seem very happy at the moment. Sitting in his study, he had a furrowed brow and was gently tapping the table as he pondered something.

He thought for a long time, then murmured to himself:

"Young Master Zhuomo and Young Master Qingge have been staying in Ninghe City for three days, and they have been spending these days with the young man Helian Yunshen."

Is there something important that the three of them are staying here?

Or has my actions been discovered, and the three of us are waiting here for the right opportunity?

Thinking of this, Guan Sheng broke out in a cold sweat, becoming overly tense and frightened. His fingers stopped tapping lightly on the desk, and his furrowed brows turned into a serious expression.

"If that's the case, these three combined are simply beyond my ability to handle. Even if some of them came, it wouldn't be easy to deal with these three."

We should think of a good solution.

When the cautious Guan Sheng had this suspicion in his mind, he immediately accepted the possibility of the worst outcome, adhering to the idea that it's better to believe it than not.

After muttering to himself, he calmed down and began to think about how to deal with the problem. After thinking for a while without any results, he stood up, pushed open the door, and called over his trusted confidant.

After his trusted aide approached, Guan Sheng whispered instructions in his ear. The aide immediately understood, nodded to Guan Sheng, and then went to make the arrangements.

I hope my worst fears won't come true!

He silently murmured this to himself, then turned and went back to his study.

Soon after, the inn underwent some changes compared to the past. These changes were not significant and would have been impossible to notice without careful observation.

The moment the three returned from outside and stepped into the inn, Helian Yun Shen, the most powerful among them, immediately sensed something unusual about the inn.

He whispered to Lei Mengsha and Luo Xuan.

"The aura of the experts in the inn is different now; it has changed a lot since we left."

"Let's talk about it back in the room."

Upon hearing Helian Yunshen's words, Luo Xuan replied quietly with a blank expression.

The three of them returned to their room as if nothing had happened. Their quiet conversation seemed so natural that the men sent by Guan Sheng's confidants had no idea they were about to be exposed.

At the door of Helian Yunshen's room

"Waiter, prepare my wine and dishes and bring them up!"

Without turning around, he shouted to the waiter downstairs, then pushed open the door and went into the room. The waiter downstairs heard the order and went down to prepare. He had just reached the kitchen in the backyard.

"You can leave the task of serving the food and drinks to me."

These informants blocked the waiter's path and gave him an impassive notice, which the waiter could only accept.

In Helian Yunshen's room

"Be careful, walls have ears. We can communicate directly on paper."

Luo Xuan picked up a calligraphy brush from the room and wrote this sentence on a piece of paper. The two looked at the sentence and nodded in tacit agreement. Then the three of them communicated on the paper.

'Were these people sent by Lord Ninghe?'

Helian Yun Shen wrote down his question on the paper. Lei Meng Sha and Luo Xuan looked at the sentence, nodded and then shook their heads at Helian Yun Shen.

Then Lei Mengsha picked up her pen and wrote:

'It's not possible to confirm this definitively at the moment, but it's highly likely that it was someone arranged by the Ninghe Marquis's residence.'

"You're right, it's very likely they arranged it. What we need to do is pretend we don't know these people exist, and wait for any unfamiliar people to come in."

Yun Shen, try to control this person using your martial arts. We can then question him.

Taking a brush from the Thunder Dream Assassin, Luo Xuan wrote this sentence and his arrangements on a piece of paper. Helian Yun Shen nodded upon seeing this, memorizing the sentence.

At this time

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lei Mengsha quickly gathered up the papers with writing on them on the table. Luo Xuan spoke towards the door the moment the papers were gathered up.

"come in!"

As these three words were uttered, the door opened, and the person who entered was dressed as a waiter. However, the unfamiliarity on his face allowed the three to recognize him at a glance, and Helian Yun Shen immediately displayed his martial arts skills.

The moment their eyes met, the illusion instantly took control of the person.

He stood there silently, his eyes glazed over.

"Put your things down, then close the door."

He parted his thin lips slightly and spoke to the guy.

The person controlled by the illusion obediently did as Helian Yun Shen instructed.

He put down the food and drinks, closed the door, and stood quietly in front of the three of them, like a puppet on a string.

"Yun Shen, can we question this guy?"

“No problem, this guy is just a Vajra Realm mortal. He has no ability to break free from my control. You can ask him anything, and he will tell you directly.”

Hearing Luo Xuan's question, Helian Yun Shen confidently replied to Luo Xuan, then looked at the guy and spoke.

"What's your name?"

"Guan Yu".

Guan Yu obediently gave his name, and then quietly waited for Helian Yun Shen's question. Seeing how obedient he was, Lei Meng Sha became somewhat impatient and spoke up.

"who are you?"

The question was met with complete silence. Guan Yu offered no reply, leaving Lei Mengsha quite embarrassed. Luo Xuan, on the other hand, breathed a slight sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't him who asked the question, and thankfully, Lei Mengsha had acted faster.

Otherwise, I would be the one in an awkward situation.
