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

After their conversation ended, the two ignored the corpses on the ground and returned directly to their residence.

The people here will then deal with these corpses. Those in the imperial court will generally categorize this situation as a conflict within the martial arts world.

In general, the imperial court doesn't care who lives or dies in conflicts within the martial arts world; it lets the martial arts community decide for itself.

In the inn

"Esteemed guests, are those martial arts practitioners outside already dead?"

The shopkeeper, looking at the two returning, asked them questions with a mixture of fear and trepidation. Helian Yun Shen looked at the shopkeeper when he heard their questions.

Although he acted very amiable, the shopkeeper was still very afraid and dared not look directly into Helian Yun Shen's eyes.

"It's all been resolved. When the officials ask, just say it's a dispute between martial arts practitioners. As for our names, they were written down when we checked into the inn, as you know."

If asked who you are, simply answer truthfully.

After saying all this, he didn't wait for the shopkeeper's reply.

Helian Yun Shen and Yue Yao went straight upstairs. How the shopkeeper would behave, what he would think, and what he would do were not things that the two of them wanted to pay attention to.

In the room

The two who had just returned were sitting in the room, their sleepiness completely gone after the battle. They were wide awake and had no desire to sleep at all.

Unable to sleep, the two could only sit there quietly.

Not long after sitting down, Yueyao looked at Helian Yunshen and thought that all of Helian Yunshen's attack methods were based on the jade flute. It was very powerful, but it had a drawback: the safety of the player was not guaranteed after playing it. Even if the safety was guaranteed, it still took time to play it.

With this in mind, Yueyao looked at Helian Yunshen and made a suggestion.

"Young Master Helian, have you ever thought about practicing a close-combat martial art? That way, you can use it for defense and self-protection when you can't play a tune, or when you don't have time to play a tune?"

"Close-combat martial arts?"

This idea of ​​learning martial arts left Helian Yun Shen momentarily stunned. He had indeed thought about it, but each time he pondered it, he ultimately gave up.

Or they come up with a new piece of music, which leads to the project being abandoned.

"I also have some other martial arts techniques that can be used to surprise me and buy me time to play the music. However, learning a close-combat martial art is also not out of the question."

He replied with a smile, telling Yueyao that he wasn't just good at playing music. He had other abilities, such as influencing an enemy's consciousness and thoughts through eye contact.

This method can only be used against those who are weaker than oneself; it has almost no effect on those who are stronger, or if it does, it is of little use.

While informing Helian Yun Shen of this, Helian Yun Shen did not refuse to learn a close-combat martial art.

Upon hearing this, Yueyao thought of teaching Helian Yunshen a close-combat martial art, but when she tried to speak, she realized that she was also relatively weak in this area.

In the end, all I could do was give an awkward smile.

"I had intended to share this with Young Master Helian, but I do not possess any particularly good close-combat martial arts."

Feel sorry! "

"It's alright, Young Master Xi is already very considerate. I would feel bad if you had to give up your martial arts skills. I can find a way to learn martial arts skills myself."

If all else fails, you can practice the basic boxing techniques my master taught me. They're not very useful, but they're far better than anything else.

Hearing Yueyao's apologetic words, Helian Yun Shen felt embarrassed instead.

He waved his hand repeatedly in response to Yueyao.

Upon hearing Helian Yun Shen's words, Yue Yao clenched her fists on her lap, thinking to herself:

We must find a very powerful close-combat martial art for Yun Shen!

Only in this way can we better ensure the safety of our loved ones.

"It's still early, let's go to sleep!"

Seeing that it was still quite dark and there was still some time before sunrise, Helian Yun Shen suggested they rest, as they couldn't continue sitting there like this.

The word "sleep" reached Yueyao's ears, and looking at Helian Yunshen, she couldn't help but feel shy and embarrassed again. Even knowing her current situation, she was still very shy.

"You go to sleep first! I'll talk to you later."

After saying that, she ran to the window and looked at the scenery outside.

Seeing him like this, Helian Yun Shen didn't say anything. He went to the bed, lay down, and closed his eyes, wanting to sleep.

But he found that even with his eyes closed, he was still not sleepy. With no sleepiness, Helian Yun Shen opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above the bed.

'I wonder what Miss Yuexi is doing now? Is she sleeping well? Is she eating properly?'

Unconsciously, Helian Yun Shen thought of Yue Yao, and of his beloved whom he hadn't seen for over a year, the person he longed for.

Little did he know that his beloved was right beside him.

'Unbeknownst to me, a year has already passed since we parted ways. For some reason, my longing for her has become increasingly intense, as if I want to see her again.'

I really want to go see her!

But where is she?

Where should I look for her?

As Helian Yun Shen thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, saddened that he missed her so much yet didn't know where she was. At this moment, all he could do was hold onto the vows they had made together, the promises they had made to each other!

While Helian Yun Shen was missing Yue Yao, he sat by the window looking at the full moon in the sky, his thoughts more complicated than Helian Yun Shen's.

The guilt and torment of not being able to reveal your identity when your loved one is right beside you!

The urgency to find someone with a new innate martial arts lineage!

She felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation, a feeling of powerlessness, due to the pressure and responsibility she carried as the young sect leader, acting sect leader, and princess of the Northern Kingdom, all stemming from her obsession with rescuing her father.

A complex mix of emotions swirled within Yueyao, leaving her constantly unsure how to express her feelings and mood.

'Yuexi, have you found someone with innate martial arts talent? If so, could you please send a message to your sister via carrier pigeon to inform her?'

He asked Yuexi, who had also come to Beili to search for someone with a natural martial vein, the same question in his mind, even though they were thousands of miles apart.

An unanswered question.

After asking herself this question, Yueyao turned her head slightly to look at Helian Yunshen and murmured to herself again.

Perhaps I should find a time to say goodbye to Yun Shen and do what I need to do now that I've come to Bei Li. Only after I've accomplished this can I make a final decision and choice.

Only then can I fulfill my vow to him!

After muttering these words to herself, Yueyao turned her head and continued to look at the full moon in the sky.

Meanwhile, Helian Yun Shen continued to stare at the ceiling, his heart filled with longing for his beloved.

The quiet night passed by as the two of them undisturbed each other, each lost in their own thoughts, and eventually, they both fell asleep.
