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

"Jade Flute?"

Upon hearing the words "Jade Flute," Helian Yun Shen felt a slight interest and raised his head slightly, concealing the gloom and coldness on his face.

"That's right, it's a very, very fine jade flute. I spent a lot of money to acquire it. Just as a fine horse deserves a fine saddle, it would be most appropriate to present it to you, young master."

Although it pained Xiao Tianmu to part with the priceless jade flute in his mansion, he had no other choice but to offer something that could pique the other party's interest and apologize.

"You don't actually think that a jade flute can erase all the sarcasm you gave me back then, do you?"

Thinking that way is nothing but wishful thinking.

Interested as he may be, is it too easy for him to just let this matter go with a single jade flute?

'You brat! You brat!'

Xiao Tianmu's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart he kept cursing Helian Yunshen, repeatedly calling him a "bastard."

He cursed inwardly, but on the surface, he could only continue to smile obsequiously at Helian Yun Shen, while pondering what he could come up with to turn the tide.

"I also have a fine horse, Wuzhui, which I acquired from the west. It can travel a thousand li a day and eight hundred li in the morning. How about I give it to you, young master?"

Tap tap!

After saying this, Helian Yun Shen gently tapped the table, but his words showed no intention of replying to Xiao Tian Mu.

This clearly explains one's thoughts.

One time, when he tried to increase his offer but failed to meet the other party's requirements, Xiao Tianmu became so anxious that he scratched his head and wondered what kind of sincerity he could offer to move Helian Yunshen at this moment.

“Young master, you should explain yourself! I really don’t know what I can offer to move you again and make you forgive my past mistakes.”

"Do you have any good martial arts manuals with fist and foot techniques? If so, bring me a few. And give me a priceless folding fan."

In addition to what you said, I will no longer pursue your sarcastic remarks from back then.

I had originally planned to teach him a lesson, but after thinking about it, I decided against it. It wouldn't be appropriate to fight someone from the Xiao clan in Tianqi City, and besides, it was clear this guy was far superior to that hothead Dai Qian.

At the very least, one can clearly recognize that those who are pragmatic and adaptable are wise.

Knowing when to show your face and when not to.

"Young master, rest assured, I will arrange for someone to prepare the items and deliver them to your residence. May I ask where your residence is located?"

Xiao Tianmu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing these two requests, as they were not difficult for him. It simply involved spending some money and supplies and reducing his collection.

Compared to one's own life, it all seems insignificant.

"Just send it directly to Young Master Zhuomo's residence. I don't have a place to stay in Tianqi City, so sending it there will be fine."

"Young master, do you not have a residence in Tianqi City? Well then, I happen to have a three-courtyard house in Tianqi City, which I will give to you as a token of our acquaintance."

Upon learning that Helian Yunshen had no place to stay in Tianqi City, Xiao Tianmu offered to provide him with accommodation again. This solicitous offer was for added security, to avoid the possibility of Helian Yunshen returning to threaten and beat him later.

At the same time, it can also slightly improve one's image.

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Helian Yun Shen accepted the courtyard, which was given to him for free, without any sign of refusal.

After hearing that Helian Yun had accepted the money, Xiao Tianmu spoke to Xiao Ruofeng.

"Ruofeng, you can take this young master to my courtyard near Young Master Zhuomo's residence. You know where it is."

"Uncle, don't worry."

Although he didn't particularly like this royal uncle, he wouldn't ignore such a trivial matter.

Seeing that things were almost settled, Xiao Tianmu said goodbye and then led his men away from the room in a dejected manner.

Just as Xiao Tianmu and his men left, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside. The four of them looked over and saw the woman who had been playing the zither on the other side of the room come over.

Before the four could react, the woman swiftly took a few steps and arrived beside Helian Yunshen, grabbing his hand.

This sudden action startled Helian Yun Shen, who retreated hastily, a manner completely different from his earlier conversation with Xiao Tian Mu.

"Young lady, men and women should not touch each other. What are you doing?"

Putting away his shyness, Helian Yun Shen politely addressed the woman who had suddenly run over. Meanwhile, Lei Meng Sha and the other two were completely bewildered, unable to understand what was happening.

The most famous courtesan in Tianqi City actually did such a thing.

"This young lady once vowed that if she could encounter music that could captivate her, she would give herself to him and play music in harmony with him."

"And please rest assured, young master, I am merely a zither player at Yingchun Pavilion; I am not a member of Yingchun Pavilion, nor am I one of its maids."

These words left Helian Yun Shen even more dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond. Helian Yun Shen wasn't the only one dumbfounded; Lei Meng Sha and the other two were as well.

In the next room

Upon hearing these words, Yueyao's face instantly turned ugly as she stood up, gritting her teeth.

"Shameless! How could you utter such shameless and inappropriate words? How could someone like you covet Yun Shen?"

At this moment, Yueyao was completely unaware that she had changed her way of addressing Helian Yunshen, and her indignant expression frightened the girl in the room.

Under the watchful eyes of these girls,

Yueyao went directly from her room to the room of Helian Yunshen and the others.

"Isn't it despicable of you to impose your own ideas on this young master like this?"

Although she was very angry, Yueyao ultimately managed to suppress her urge to reveal herself and her anger with a sliver of reason.

The sudden sound of Yueyao's voice made Helian Yun Shen turn his head to look at the young master who had walked in.

Why do I have this feeling of déjà vu?

Looking at this young master whom he seemed to have never seen before, Helian Yunshen felt a sense of déjà vu, but he could not recall him.

"Young master, what brings you here to say all this? This matter seems to have nothing to do with you, does it?"

"It's true that it's not related, but I can't stand by and watch your behavior, so I want to step in and do something about it. When you're in the world of martial arts, loyalty and righteousness come first."

"One should stand up when faced with such a situation."

When Yueyao heard the question, she readily offered herself a plausible excuse.
