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

boom!

A loud thud was heard as the table was slammed.

The force of such rage caused a palm print to appear on the previously intact table, with cracks spreading outwards from the center of the palm print.

The moment the palm was raised

The table, which was still standing firmly, was shattered into pieces and lay on the ground.

The person who did this was a woman dressed like a man, with a ponytail, a beautiful face, and a heroic and valiant air about her.

The woman's face was filled with anger, which made it impossible for her to remain calm.

Where did that person go?

With wide, phoenix-shaped eyes, she listened to the question posed by the approaching eunuch.

When faced with Princess Xiao Wanqing's question, the eunuch lowered his posture and replied to her.

"Your Highness, this person and another man left through the south gate. It seems that some time has passed. Please, Your Highness, do not act rashly."

His words seemed to be persuading Xiao Wanqing.

But this only fueled Xiao Wanqing's anger, causing her, who was not exactly rational, to grab a gun and leave her residence.

Watching the Fifth Princess leave, the eunuch revealed a triumphant smile.

"Your Majesty, I have completed the task you assigned to this old servant."

After muttering this in a very low voice, he left the Fifth Princess's residence and headed towards the Imperial Study in the palace.

Meanwhile, on Helian Yun Shen and Yue Yao's side...

The two rode their horses quietly along the road outside the city. The journey was peaceful, with few disturbances or troubles occurring.

"Young Master Helian, if you leave Tianqi City like this, the Xiao family will not let it go easily. You must be careful and not fall into their trap."

Thinking of those things, Yueyao reminded him.

They were afraid that the Xiao family would succeed in their plan.

Hearing Yueyao's reminder, Helian Yun Shen turned his head to look at Yueyao with a smile on her face and replied.

“I already have someone I love. I have made a promise with her, how could I possibly give my heart to someone else? Wouldn’t that be betraying her? I can’t do such a thing.”

Let anyone who wants to be this kind of heartless person do it!

The unwavering resolve in his words, and the genuine emotion and deep feeling that constantly emanated from them, deeply moved Yueyao. While moved, she also kept berating herself for being so unable to let go.

She was also feeling melancholy about herself, wondering why she had to carry these burdens at a time like this.

"But what if you can't wait?"

"The world is vast, but I believe that I can find her by traversing it all with my own two feet."

"Finding her will solve everything."

These powerful words left Yueyao speechless. Though her face remained expressionless, her heart was bleeding.

She's crying!

After shedding tears and shedding blood, a steadfast thought welled up in his heart: to find a new person with a new innate martial vein as quickly as possible; once found, everything would be resolved.

When the time comes, everything in Tianwaitian can be handed over to my father and sister.

She can then put down her burdens.

"Young Master Xi, what are your plans next?"

Yueyao had been the one asking him questions the whole time. Suddenly, Helian Yun Shen realized that he hadn't asked 'him' where he was going or what he was going to do.

"Nothing particularly special, I just left home, thinking of venturing into the world. I want to experience the world and the martial arts world properly."

When asked about these things, Yueyao brushed it off by saying she wanted to travel the martial world. Hearing that Yueyao was also planning to travel the martial world, Helian Yunshen earnestly advised her against it.

"Young Master Xi, the martial world is not as simple as you imagine. I used to hear a lot about chivalry and high spirits in the martial world, but after I stepped into it, I found that chivalry is only a small part of the martial world."

The martial arts world is full of treachery, bloodshed, and slaughter. People who are drinking together one second may turn on each other with swords the next.

It's a truly dreamlike existence.

"Young Master Helian has a very thorough understanding of things!"

She spoke these words so calmly, but when she heard Helian Yun Shen say them in her heart, she began to feel sorry for him.

The young man who once stepped into the martial world full of youthful vigor and beautiful ideas has been tempered by the world and is no longer as innocent as he once was. He has begun to adapt to the cruel world of martial arts.

"It's not that I've experienced things thoroughly, but rather that I've come to understand them after seeing and knowing a lot about them."

That's all.

He spoke with great composure.

Just as Helian Yun Shen finished speaking, he saw a person who looked seriously injured leaning against a tree by the roadside not far ahead. He looked like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.

Pull the reins to stop the horse that is moving forward.

With her eyes fixed on the heavily injured man before her, Yueyao noticed Helian Yun Shen's attention and became somewhat puzzled.

"Young Master Helian, is there anything special about this person?"

“I experienced something very similar to this scene a few months ago, and at that time I was unaware of the danger before I went to help.”

The last injured man had deliberately injured himself in that manner, intending to cooperate with others to ambush and kill those who offered help, ultimately obtaining money and valuables.

"You mean this person might have malicious intentions?"

As Yueyao listened to Helian Yunshen's description of his experience, her eyes widened, and she unconsciously uttered these words.

Although he didn't nod, Helian Yun Shen had essentially tacitly agreed to the matter.

In the dark

"I didn't expect this guy to be so vigilant. I didn't expect that someone like him would mess up my plans."

The person hiding in the shadows spoke with great resentment.

Having said all that, he abandoned the planned operation and prepared to start the plan anew.

Are we just going to give up like this?

"At this point, we have no choice but to give up. If we don't, it will be difficult to succeed given his wary demeanor. Don't forget that this person is at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. If we face him head-on, we will only be defeated."

Hearing the words of resentment from those around him, the leader explained himself to them. After explaining, he was the first to leave, without lingering there for even a moment.

As for the so-called bait?

This person was indeed seriously injured; they were simply someone captured to set up a trap, not one of their own.

"In that case, we can leave this person alone. Let's go, Young Master Helian."

Having already decided not to offer any help, Yueyao became even less inclined to do so after hearing what Helian Yunshen said.

Helian Yun Shen nodded in agreement with Yue Yao's words, but I couldn't bear to see this person stay here.

'Never mind, there's a post station a dozen miles ahead. We can have those people come over then!'

If you can hold on until then, it means your life is not meant to end.

If it doesn't last, there's nothing I can do.
