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

After saying that, Xiao Ruofeng stepped into the inn.

When the waiter arrived, Xiao Ruofeng didn't rush to ask about Helian Yunshen and the others' rooms. Instead, he took out two taels of silver from his pocket.

"Waiter, get me the best room. Money's no problem!"

Xiao Ruofeng's dashing and extravagant demeanor prompted the waiter to fawn over him in every way, hoping to gain extra income from him.

"Please come in, sir. The best room in our establishment is the No. 1 room at the very back on the second floor."

While speaking to Xiao Ruofeng, the waiter bowed and gestured to lead the way. Xiao Ruofeng followed quietly behind the waiter, and soon they arrived at the so-called "Heavenly Room No. 1".

Xiao Ruofeng, who was not short of money, was not stingy. He took out a few coins and tossed them to the waiter, saying "Here's a reward for you," before closing the door.

The waiter, beaming with delight upon receiving the money, clutched it tightly to his chest, as if afraid someone would see it. His shifty eyes scanned his surroundings before he quietly descended from the second floor.

He changed his expression and continued to greet the guests.

…………

The Heavenly Sect located in the western part of the Northern Heaven.

Having just returned and taken over the work from her younger sister Yuexi, Yueyao sometimes drifted off into thought about Helian Yunshen while handling her work.

However, she hid these distractions and longings very well.

"Young Miss, this is intelligence from our spies in the Northern Li territory. It was sent by a carrier pigeon with a red string tied to its leg, and it's extremely urgent."

The guard delivered the letter from the carrier pigeon's feet to Yueyao. Yueyao took it and immediately opened it to read the contents. All the contents were revealed the moment it was opened.

The contents of the letter made Yueyao's expression very serious. She put down the letter in her hand, tapped the table gently without speaking, and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Summon Yuexi, Yueqing, and the elders here. I cannot make this decision myself."

"As ordered!"

The guard said "Yes, sir" and went to notify the relevant personnel. Soon, Yuexi, Yueqing, and several elders of the Yue clan of Beique Kingdom arrived at the hall.

Yueyao didn't speak, but handed the letter in her hand to these people, who then passed it around among them.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Having seen enough, Yueyao asked the group a question, and they all stroked their chins, pondering the question carefully.

Finally, Yueqing spoke first.

"We can just give up. According to the letter, even if we try to rescue him, we won't make it in time. If possible, it would be safer to take care of him beforehand."

The first words that came out of Yueqing's mouth were ruthless.

Compared to Yueqing's decisive and ruthless approach, her willingness to weigh the pros and cons and give up easily, Yuexi seemed somewhat kind-hearted and unwilling to give up so directly.

"We cannot simply give up like this. He has devoted himself to the cause of restoring our Northern Que Kingdom and has been diligently and conscientiously carrying out his infiltration in Northern Li."

Wouldn't it be unfair to him to give up like this?

Moreover, he's not the only one infiltrating Beili; abandoning him like this would chill his spirit and wouldn't be good for what we want to do.

"Second sister, you're so indecisive. What's there to hesitate about now? Giving up is the best option."

Faced with Yuexi's rebuttal, Yueqing scoffed, clearly looking down on her second sister's thoughts. Yuexi, however, paid no attention to her sister's words and instead focused her attention on her eldest sister, Yueyao.

Yueyao then turned her attention to the clan elders. The elders, who had not spoken, saw that the three sisters had finished speaking and then spoke up.

"What Yueqing said makes sense, and what Yuexi said also makes sense. If we can rescue this person, we should do so directly. If we can't rescue him, we should do as Yueqing said."

Tell him not to worry about his children and family; the Heavenly Sect will take good care of them.

The elder's words were a way of avoiding taking action from either side, a somewhat conciliatory tone. Yueyao found this explanation quite reasonable, and thought the arrangement was quite good.

"In that case, arrange for the corresponding people who are lurking in Beili to carry out the operation. Yueqing, you will be responsible for receiving them outside Beili."

If possible, rescue them.

If that doesn't work, then do as you say.

"I understand, big sister."

Hearing this arrangement, Yueqing didn't say anything else, simply agreed and went to make the necessary arrangements. Soon, the group that had gathered together separated again, and Yuexi looked at her sister and said...

"Sister, did you and Yueqing really not find anyone with innate martial arts veins during your trip to Beili?"

"No, after some time, you and I will go to Beili again to look for people with innate martial veins. If we still can't find them, then you and Yueqing will go again next time."

The three of us sisters took turns going.

You'll find it eventually.

Yueyao kept Helian Yun Shen's matter a secret from Yuexi. Seeing her sister speaking so confidently, Yuexi said nothing more.

She immediately believed her, said goodbye to her sister, and left the hall. Watching her sister leave, Yueyao thought to herself:

Next time we go to Beili, we must find someone with a natural martial arts lineage. Only by finding such a person can we dissuade those people from their plans, and only then can Young Master Helian be safe.

I hope everything goes smoothly at that time.

After muttering these thoughts to himself, he lowered his head and quietly dealt with sect affairs.

In Ninghe City, which lies north of the territory

Helian Yunshen and his two companions met with Xiao Ruofeng in a private room at a restaurant in the city. The meeting was arranged very discreetly, with absolutely no possibility of being exposed.

"Ruofeng, what are you planning to do if you come over?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Luo Xuan got straight to the point and asked Xiao Ruofeng the question he needed to ask. Xiao Ruofeng smiled as he listened to the question.

"In my opinion, it would be best to get straight to the point; a mere earl is easy to handle. However, to avoid alerting him, it's necessary to make proper preparations."

Ideally, we should obtain even better evidence.

After replying to Luo Xuan's words, Xiao Ruofeng turned his gaze to Helian Yunshen. A lover of the martial world, Xiao Ruofeng greatly admired the exceptional talent of someone as rare as Helian Yunshen, and greeted him warmly.

"My name is Xiao Ruofeng. Greetings, Young Master Helian."

"Your Highness, you're welcome!"

Compared to Xiao Ruofeng's enthusiastic attempt to get closer to him and build a stronger relationship, Helian Yun Shen appeared rather indifferent. He still remembered his master's words: to ignore the Xiao clan as much as possible, lest he get involved in things he shouldn't.
