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

Helian Yunshen had little interest in so-called divine weapons; his gaze was now fixed on the boxes containing martial arts manuals.

He moved the box the butler handed him aside, then opened the boxes containing martial arts manuals, and what came into view was a fist technique book.

"Vajra Subduing Demon Fist? Isn't that a Buddhist martial art?"

Looking at this boxing manual, one can tell from the name Helian Yun Shen that it is a Buddhist martial art, and a widely circulated and powerful boxing technique within Buddhism.

"The Buddhist boxing style has a low learning threshold but a very high potential. When mastered, it is comparable to other so-called boxing styles and can even surpass them."

"I don't really like punching people."

The fist technique was indeed good, but after some thought, Helian Yun Shen finally abandoned it. He began to look through other so-called martial arts manuals, and as he looked at these manuals...

One particularly damaged ancient book caught Helian Yunshen's attention. All that could be seen were some very blurry characters, which were difficult to decipher without careful examination.

"This martial arts manual is now obsolete and can no longer be practiced."

Yueyao turned her head slightly to look at the ancient book. From its tattered state, she could tell that the martial arts manual was ruined.

It's unlikely to have any effect.

Faced with such words, Helian Yun Shen directly opened the ancient book. The contents were still scattered, and it was clear from the look that the contents were severely lost.

However, some content is still clearly visible.

These contents entered Helian Yun Shen's mind under his gaze, and before he knew it, Helian Yun Shen was deeply attracted by them.

Seeing Helian Yun Shen like this, Yue Yao was extremely anxious and worried that Helian Yun Shen would suffer internal injuries from such a broken and incomplete martial arts manual.

But he didn't dare to directly disturb Helian Yun Shen.

As for the steward, he dared not say a word at this moment, and could only stand quietly to the side and wait for Helian Yun Shen to come to his senses from this deep understanding.

…………

I don't know how much time passed, but the sky outside had changed from the color of the setting sun to the color of a bright moon and few stars. I turned my head to look at the sky outside.

Looking at Helian Yun Shen, who was still not enlightened, Yue Yao finally made up her mind to wake Helian Yun Shen from this deep understanding.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!!"

Suddenly, Helian Yun Shen burst into laughter.

The sudden sound startled Yueyao and the steward, especially the steward, who thought the young master had gone mad.

After the laughter ended,

Helian Yun Shen noticed Yue Yao and the housekeeper still there. Thinking of how he had laughed so loudly just now, an embarrassed look instantly appeared on his face.

Yueyao, however, didn't pay attention to these things and instead asked questions.

"Young Master Helian, have you gained any insights?"

"Indeed, the issue that had been troubling me for so long has finally been resolved, and I was able to successfully play the piece I had been thinking about for so long."

The contents of this tattered ancient book are more useful than those complete martial arts manuals.

He nodded and replied happily.

After replying, Helian Yun Shen couldn't wait to pick up the jade flute and put it to his lips to play. The beautiful sound of the flute filled the room.

Yueyao quietly observed Helian Yun Shen's martial arts technique, and under her gaze, the ground seemed to turn into a puddle of water.

As if the water itself had come to life, it gradually coalesced into a human figure, a figure that Yueyao naturally recognized.

This is none other than the fiery young master Lei Mengsha!

'Young Master Helian, what exactly is the purpose of this martial art you created? Could it be used to create an exact replica of someone?'

With these doubts in mind, Helian Yun Shen stopped playing his jade flute.

The moment the flute music stopped, the gathered thunderous aura vanished, and everything returned to its original state. As Helian Yun Shen put down the jade flute, joy was evident on his face.

"Young Master Helian, what's so special about the martial art you just displayed?"

"There's nothing special about it; it's just a martial art that can mimic others. It's not something that can be considered high art."

Faced with Yueyao's question, Helian Yunshen did not give a direct explanation, his words carrying a vague implication. Yueyao could tell that this was out of wariness towards her, and the reason for this wariness was naturally because she was currently disguised as a man, posing as Xi Yue.

Rather than the identity she held when she first met him.

Otherwise, Young Master Helian wouldn't have been so vague with her.

"Butler, prepare some fine wine and food for me. I want to enjoy a good drink and conversation with Young Master Xi in the manor!"

Seeing the sky outside, where the moon was already bright and the stars were few, Helian Yun Shen suddenly remembered that he was supposed to treat them to dinner.

I never expected it to take so long.

He then quickly gave instructions to the butler beside him.

Upon hearing Helian Yunshen's instructions, the steward agreed and went to prepare the appropriate fine wine and dishes.

Half an hour later,

Helian Yun Shen and Yue Yao sat at the dining table. Helian Yun Shen raised his wine glass to toast Yue Yao.

"Young Master Xi, thank you for your help today at Yingchun Pavilion."

"Young Master Helian, you are too kind. It was nothing at all. Besides, I already had the intention of befriending you because of your dignified appearance and upright character."

Helian Yun Shen felt a little embarrassed by such praise, and his shy nature resurfaced. He raised his wine glass and clinked it against Yue Yao's glass before downing the wine in one gulp.

Seeing Helian Yun Shen drinking so heartily, Yue Yao didn't hesitate to pick up her glass and drink it all in one gulp.

“Young Master Helian, I can tell you’re not keen on going to that kind of place. If so, then don’t go there in the future.”

Having experienced what happened during the day, Yueyao was worried that something like that would happen again, so she gave Helian Yun Shen some advice. After saying these words, Yueyao realized that it wasn't appropriate for someone of her status to say such things.

He then carefully observed the expression on Helian Yun Shen's face.

At this moment, Helian Yun Shen's expression remained gentle, without revealing any difficulty or unpleasantness, which made Yue Yao feel much better.

"Young Master Xi, this whole thing was caused by Brother Luo and Brother Xiao joking and teasing me without explaining the situation. If I had known, I certainly wouldn't have gone in."

That was my first time going to a place like that, but after what happened during the day, it was also my last time going.

Nodding, Helian Yun Shen spoke his mind. It was clear from his words that he had some reservations about such places.

Moreover, after what happened during the day, I felt even more averse to that kind of place.

"Alright, let's not talk about those unpleasant things that happened during the day."

"Young Master Helian, let's drink!"
