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

"Brother Lei, I'll have to ask him myself to answer that."

"I'm just giving it a try, just trying it out."

Lei Mengsha scratched his face awkwardly, his words revealing his embarrassment. He regretted asking so hastily.

Let's wait for Luo Xuan to speak first.

Out of the corner of her eye, Lei Meng saw the gloating expression on Luo Xuan's face and wanted to punch him. How could he laugh at her embarrassing situation?

"Are you from the Ninghe Marquis's residence?"

Ignoring the flirtatious glances between Lei Mengsha and Luo Xuan, Helian Yun Shen directly asked the waiter a question, to which the waiter nodded.

After confirming, Helian Yunshen asked again.

What is your purpose in coming here?

"We received orders from our superiors to come and monitor the three of you, but we don't know our purpose!"

With a blank stare, he answered every question from Helian Yun Shen.

Upon hearing this, Helian Yun Shen knew that he had already asked almost everything he could, and any further questions would be futile, so he simply stopped asking.

To make him forget these things, the illusion control was directly lifted. The moment it was lifted, the waiter regained his senses and stared blankly at everything in front of him.

"What are you still doing here? Waiting for a tip? Get lost!"

Having just embarrassed himself, Lei Mengsha looked at the bewildered waiter and sternly reprimanded him. Before the waiter could even understand what was happening, he quickly turned and ran out of the room.

When I came out, I was still completely bewildered, not understanding why I had stayed inside instead of coming out directly.

And inside the room

Helian Yunshen and the other two closed the door and continued their quiet communication through paper, which the eavesdroppers in the next room couldn't hear at all.

The lack of any results left them extremely anxious and at a loss for what to do.

In the study of Guan Sheng in the Ninghe Marquis's mansion

At this moment, Guan Sheng was restless and paced back and forth in the room. After a while, he returned to his seat, looking as anxious as a headless fly.

Looking at the Xuan paper on the desk, he picked up a brush and wrote down the corresponding request for help.

"Young Miss, I have no choice but to turn to you for help. Otherwise, I will be reduced to ashes and unable to continue my infiltration here to assist you in restoring the Northern Kingdom."

I hope you can understand my predicament and help me.

After writing down the content, Guan Sheng muttered to himself.

After saying this, he handed the envelope directly to his trusted confidant, not letting him leave Ninghe City through the city gate, but instead choosing a very careful secret passage to leave Ninghe City and send out the contents.

After finishing everything, Guan Sheng sat down at his desk and removed the disguise mask from his face, revealing a face completely different from his own.

"Man proposes, God disposes. I don't know if I can make it in time, or if my worries are unfounded."

With a weary expression, he spoke these words, then sat quietly at his desk. After a while, he picked up the disguise mask and put it back on.

Adjust your mindset and step out of the study.

The anxious look he had in the study was now completely gone; he was still the refined and cultured Lord Ninghe Guansheng.

In Helian Yunshen's room at the inn

The three of them chatted and drank while communicating through papers.

"Brother Lei, Brother Luo, when will Prince Xiao Ruofeng arrive in Ninghe City?"

"I'm not sure about the exact time, after all, Ruofeng has a lot on his plate, and Tianqi City is quite far from here, so it will take some time for him to get here."

Only three days have passed; even if Ruofeng were incredibly fast, he couldn't possibly have arrived by now.

Lei Mengsha took the brush from Helian Yunshen and began writing on the paper. Luo Xuan, seeing that Lei Mengsha had already written down everything he wanted to say, did not take the brush from him.

Do we need to stay in Ninghe City any longer?

"We should indeed stay for a while, but I'm more anxious than you and hope this matter can be resolved quickly."

Lei Mengsha looked at the words and then wrote them down on the paper. Helian Yunshen couldn't understand why Lei Mengsha was so anxious, but Luo Xuan smiled and spoke up.

"Your brother Lei is missing his sweetheart. But she's different from us."

"It's all because of you, otherwise I would be able to stay with Xinyue right now, instead of sitting here drinking with you."

Lei Mengsha, who was being teased, said with a hint of resentment in her voice.

Hearing Luo Xuan say this, Helian Yun Shen suddenly became very curious about what kind of extraordinary woman this young hero like Brother Lei was so concerned about.

"Brother Lei, whose daughter is this Xinyue?"

Out of curiosity, Lei Mengsha voiced her question and began to explain to Helian Yunshen.

"Xin Yue is the daughter of Li Suwang of Jianxin Tomb. We met under unusual circumstances, but gradually we became close and developed feelings for each other."

............"

As Lei Mengsha spoke of these things, a smile spread across her face, and she was lost in these beautiful memories. Luo Xuan, however, immediately contradicted Lei Mengsha as he listened to her description.

"It's just that Miss Xinyue has a good temper. If it were any other woman, your foolish behavior back then would have gotten you turned into a hornet's nest with a long sword. And I saw your confession of feelings, too."

How could your description be as vivid and beautiful as yours!

He stammered out, "I like you, and I want to marry you!"

Because of that sentence, you were kicked out of the Sword Heart Tomb by Senior Li Suwang, who was reluctant to let his daughter get married. If it weren't for Miss Xinyue speaking up for you, you might not even be able to go to the Sword Heart Tomb now.

She's incredibly bad at talking!

"Luo Xuan, that's enough! Saying things like that just shows your envy and jealousy of me. If you're so capable, go find a woman you're infatuated with yourself."

What are you being so sour about here!

Lei Mengsha, whose plan had been foiled, directly mocked Luo Xuan for still acting like a naive person, but Luo Xuan ignored the mockery.

Upon seeing this, Helian Yun Shen quickly stepped forward to persuade the two, while raising his wine glass to indicate that they should drink.

At Helian Yun Shen's urging, the two stopped bickering and picked up their glasses to drink with Helian Yun Shen.

In the next room

Those who were eavesdropping cursed under their breath when they heard these useless words, thinking to themselves, "Can't you say something useful?"

…………

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. A man of completely different status and demeanor arrived in Ninghe City. He covered his face with a mask.

Even with such obstruction, one could still sense the man's difference. He stood quietly outside the inn where the three of them were, looking up at the second floor.

"Dream Killer, Luo Xuan, I'm here!"
