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

Is there truly a soulmate in this world who is yours to call?

Hearing Helian Yun Shen's words, Luo Xuan looked at Helian Yun Shen and asked this question from the depths of his soul. In his opinion, no one could understand, and no matter how beautiful the music was, it would not make people happy.

"Listeners are always present, but true connoisseurs are hard to find! For most so-called performers, the lack of connoisseurs might be a sad thing. But for me, this doesn't apply to performers who aren't particularly highly skilled."

They are merely stuck in the stage of believing that beauty is something no one understands, and that beauty needs a kindred spirit to appreciate it.

I think the beauty and goodness of a piece of music lies in its ability to allow all listeners to understand it and form their own interpretations, making all listeners kindred spirits, and eliminating the notion that kindred spirits are hard to find.

It's not a skill to have only one person understand what a thousand people are listening to; the real skill is to have all a thousand people understand what a thousand people are listening to.

Helian Yunshen looked at Luo Xuan, his face reflecting his own understanding of kindred spirits and music, and spoke these words.

Luo Xuan was slightly taken aback when he heard that.

After a moment of stunned silence, he realized the gap between himself and Helian Yunshen, and that he was still struggling to find a so-called soulmate.

Yun Shen was already thinking about turning everyone into a kindred spirit.

"That's about enough, it's time to settle the accounts."

Feeling that the lingering melody had reached its limit and there was no need to continue, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

After saying this, he raised his hand and directly dispersed the lingering sound that was still echoing in the attic. The dispersed sound disappeared in the attic.

Those who were still immersed in the moment gradually came to their senses.

The entranced look on their faces had vanished, and everyone looked around in confusion, with some hot-tempered individuals even shouting.

"Why did you stop? Keep blowing! I've got plenty of money!"

Is ten thousand taels enough?

"I'll give you 20,000 taels to keep playing, play that tune that just captivated me!"

"I'll offer fifty thousand taels!"

These people kept shouting and raising the price of the music playing in the room.

"Yun Shen, I didn't expect your music to be so expensive! It's almost ten thousand gold pieces!"

Lei Mengsha watched as these rich young masters, who didn't value money, kept pressuring Helian Yun Shen to continue playing. Helian Yun Shen, however, had absolutely no interest in it; if it weren't for the mockery he had just received, he wouldn't have played such a tune.

He can play a piece of music whenever he wants, and if he doesn't want to, no amount of money can make him listen.

"Young man, would you be interested in joining my royal court's musicians? I'll offer you a yearly stipend of 100,000 gold coins, and I can also give you a noble title and an official position."

"You'll be guaranteed a lifetime of wealth and luxury, and your descendants will enjoy a life that no one else can."

At that time, Xiao Tianmu, who had mocked Helian Yunshen, actually came to their room with such audacity, intending to use money to invite Helian Yunshen to his mansion so that he could play music for him.

Helian Yun Shen listened to Xiao Tian Mu's words with a cold smile on his face.

"I really don't know how you can be so arrogant as to say such things. Don't you even know your own limitations? You think you're worthy of me playing music for you!"

"You brat, how dare you humiliate me like this!"

Xiao Tianmu's face was very ugly, and his voice was low and full of anger. However, this so-called anger did not cause any ripples in Helian Yunshen's ears.

The only thing that caught Helian Yun Shen's attention was the two Great Freedom Realm guards beside Xiao Tianmu.

Seeing two Great Free Realm experts protecting a member of the Xiao clan here, he could only sigh at how wealthy the Xiao clan was!

"Ruofeng, is this what you call a friend? You're just going to stand here and watch as the Xiao family members are humiliated like this?"

Seeing that Helian Yun Shen ignored him, he directly turned his attention to Xiao Ruo Feng and accused him of something.

Xiao Ruofeng listened to his uncle's reprimand without showing any joy or sorrow, and slightly raised his head to look at his uncle.

"Third Imperial Uncle, weren't your words just now insulting my friend? And weren't your actions tarnishing the reputation of the Xiao family?"

Have we forgotten the ancestral teachings established by our forefathers?

"You, how dare you speak to your royal uncle like this? Don't you know any manners? Have you become this disrespectful after all these years of wandering the martial world?"

When Xiao Ruofeng used ancestral precepts to suppress him, Xiao Tianmu naturally felt he was in the wrong and couldn't argue with Xiao Ruofeng, so he directly brought up his status as an elder to pressure Xiao Ruofeng.

"Don't interrupt me. How are things between us going to be settled? Shouldn't we settle the score for how you mocked and humiliated me just now?"

Helian Yun Shen spoke again at this moment, and Xiao Tian Mu's face turned very gloomy upon hearing Helian Yun Shen's words. This was the first time he had ever been threatened by such a junior.

Who gave him the audacity to speak to him like that?

"Do you know who I am?"

"Who you are is none of my business! If you don't want to come out, then settle things between us. We'll see if you can hold out then."

When you die, remember to choose a good place for yourself.

Having said that, Helian Yun Shen unleashed the aura befitting a cultivator at the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Realm. Sensing this power, Xiao Tian Mu realized he had gone too far.

Today's situation won't be so easily resolved.

"Young master, how do you intend to resolve this?"

Knowing his own situation very well, Xiao Tianmu decisively chose to back down at this moment. He did not dare to gamble on whether the Xiao clan could suppress the other party.

It's good that they can suppress it; if they can't, it will be a bloodbath for him. When the main family finds out, they'll know that this kid's strength is at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm.

He might choose to endure it and not seek revenge. Besides, even if he did seek revenge, he'd be dead. What good would it do then? He'd have lost all the wealth and luxury he could have enjoyed.

Having thought all this through, Xiao Tianmu naturally wouldn't gamble his life on this matter.

"You are from the Xiao clan, how dare I, a commoner, make demands of you! I'm just asking how this matter is going to be resolved?"

When faced with Xiao Tianmu's question, Helian Yun Shen pretended to be very afraid of the Xiao clan, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

Hearing this, Xiao Tianmu's face turned pale and purplish, his expression dark and uncertain. His hands, which hung down in his sleeves, clenched into fists, suppressing all the anger in his heart.

"I was blind to your worth and did something that embarrassed you. You decide how to handle this matter."

Xiao Tianmu paused briefly before continuing.

"I have a fine jade flute in my residence. How about I present it to you as an apology?"
