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

He turned his head slightly to look at the young man who had suddenly rushed over with a surge of passion, saying he was standing up for justice. He felt a sense of familiarity mixed with a feeling of strangeness.

"Have we met this young master somewhere before?"

"We met by chance, and it is fate that brought us together. I am Xi Yue, please give me your guidance!"

Upon hearing Helian Yunshen's words, Yueyao's hand, which was tucked into her sleeve, stiffened slightly before returning to normal. With a gentle smile, she introduced herself to Helian Yunshen.

The name Xi Yue entered Helian Yunshen's mind, but he couldn't recall it for a long time. Finally, he realized that he had mistaken her for someone else.

This is not someone I know.

Their meeting was indeed a chance encounter.

"I cannot marry you, young lady. I have someone I love, and I have made a promise with her. So I am sorry, and I wish you can find the man you desire."

Stopping thinking about these things, Helian Yun Shen looked at the woman in front of him who had said she wanted to repay him with her body, and gently said that he was rejecting her.

Upon hearing these words, Yueyao was shocked.

A strong sense of guilt and heartache welled up within her. They were right beside each other, yet they couldn't acknowledge each other. The burden of rescuing her father prevented her from recognizing Helian Yun Shen at this moment; she could only continue to hide these feelings deep in her heart.

"I can be a concubine!"

Helian Yun Shen was at a loss for words; he had never experienced anything like this before. The panic in his eyes could not be concealed by his composed demeanor; everyone present could clearly sense it.

Looking at Lei Mengsha and the others beside her, she pleaded pitifully with the three of them for advice on how to let this matter pass.

Lei Mengsha and the other two smiled at Helian Yun Shen, but made no move to offer any help.

They were speaking through their actions and their eyes:

We can't help you with this; you'll have to figure it out yourself!

We believe you.

"Young lady, please stop making such a fuss. The facts are clear. This young master does not wish to marry you, and the vow you made is none of his business."

Lei Mengsha and the others could do things without lifting a finger, but Yueyao would not do things like that. How could she bear to see Helian Yunshen in such a predicament?

He spoke up for himself again and again.

Helian Yun was deeply moved. Even though the matter was not yet over, he thought he would invite this young master for drinks and make his acquaintance with him later.

Seeing that the people who had suddenly arrived were all speaking up for Helian Yun Shen, Lei Meng Sha and the others, as the eldest brothers, could not continue to watch Helian Yun Shen be made things difficult for him.

“Miss Fengyi, this matter is indeed not good. Moreover, Yun Shen already has someone he likes, and continuing like this will not do either of you any good.”

You will meet even better people in the future.

You shouldn't be trapped by the vows you've made, and waste your entire life on them.

Everyone was speaking up for him, which made Helian Yun, who was not good at talking about such things or women, breathe a sigh of relief.

Fengyi looked at Helian Yunshen and then at Lei Mengsha and the others, then turned and left without saying anything about letting them go or insisting on their decision.

Only she knows what she is really thinking, and only she can tell others what she is really thinking.

"Yun Shen, why don't you just reluctantly marry her? Anyway, having multiple wives and concubines is quite normal. You can just make her a concubine, right?"

Reaching out to wrap his arms around Helian Yun Shen's neck, Lei Meng Sha joked with a mischievous smile. This joke reached Yue Yao's ears, and her phoenix eyes widened as she glared fiercely at Lei Meng Sha.

In my heart

He has beaten Lei Mengsha countless times.

"Brother Lei, please stop joking. I don't know her at all, so how can there be any talk of marriage? This kind of thing is absurd to begin with, so why let this absurdity continue?"

Besides, a girl like Fengyi deserves someone better; she shouldn't be a concubine with me, and I have no intention of taking a concubine.

Helian Yun Shen, who had been teased by Lei Meng Sha, turned and glared at him. After saying that to him, he turned his gaze to Yue Yao.

"Young Master Xi Yue, thank you so much for helping me out of this predicament today. I have nothing to repay you with, so how about I treat you to a simple meal?"

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Yueyao accepted Helian Yunshen's invitation without hesitation.

Seeing that Yueyao had agreed, Helian Yunshen looked at Lei Mengsha and the other two beside him and asked them questions.

"Brother Lei, Brother Luo, Brother Xiao, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

"I won't go. I'll go home and have dinner with Xinyue tonight. I didn't get to eat at home for lunch, so it's better to have dinner at home."

Of the three, Lei Mengsha was the first to resign.

Just as Lei Mengsha finished speaking, Xiao Ruofeng and Luo Xuan apologized and said they couldn't join them for dinner because they had other things to do that evening.

"OK then."

"Yun Shen, tomorrow, Brother Xiao, if I have nothing else to do, I would like to invite you, Meng Sha, and Luo Xuan to my residence for dinner, as a way of showing my hospitality."

After listening to Helian Yunshen's words, Xiao Ruofeng also mentioned inviting him to dinner. He then casually asked Yueyao if she wanted to join him for dinner at his residence.

As Yueyao looked at Xiao Ruofeng, she recalled the destruction of their country by Beili and the death of her mother.

"I won't go, I have other things to do."

The words of refusal came directly from Yueyao's mouth, and Xiao Ruofeng didn't invite her again after hearing the rejection. After all, they weren't close, and if she didn't go after one invitation, he wouldn't invite her again.

…………

Soon the five of them walked out of Yingchun Tower.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Li Xinyue standing quietly in front of Yingchun Tower, holding a long sword. Looking at his wife, Lei Mengsha, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Xinyue, it was Ruofeng who dragged me here. He said it was to better entertain Yun Shen, and I didn't do anything to wrong you when I went in."

We were inside listening to the courtesan, Fengyi, playing the zither.

Lei Mengsha's mind raced, and in a short time he came up with a solution, betraying his good brother in a very disloyal way.

Xiao Ruofeng was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

Is this the same Lei Mengsha I usually see? Why is his mind working so fast today, and why is he so quick to shirk responsibility?

Just as he was about to refute something, he noticed Lei Mengsha's pleading look in his eyes, and seeing this, Xiao Ruofeng stopped arguing.

Admit it openly and honestly.

“Sister-in-law Xinyue, this was indeed my fault. But don’t worry, we were just listening to music inside, we didn’t do anything else.”
