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

Under the name,

Helian Yun Shen turned his head to look at the Thunder Dream Killer on the Glass Beast Xiao Bai. He was quite surprised by what he said and was quite confused about the matter.

He still doesn't know what it is!

"Tell me what it is about? I don't know anything yet. It's not my style to do things in such a muddled way. Besides, what if I get used by you? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

"Actually, it's a power struggle between the Gu family and the Yan family in the Southwest. Initially, there was a balance, but that balance has now been broken."

............"

Lei Mengsha, like a chatterbox, explained the whole matter to Helian Yunshen, starting from the simple and gradually becoming more complicated. Helian Yunshen wasn't very interested in hearing such an explanation.

Getting involved in this power struggle is not a good idea, since I'm penniless and have no backing whatsoever.

“Yun Shen, your actions at that time had already disrupted the Yan family’s plans. Now you are a thorn in their side. You will have no choice but to join them, whether you want to or not.”

Luo Xuan looked at Helian Yun Shen's furrowed brows, thought for a moment, and then explained the situation to Helian Yun Shen from another angle. This angle was to consider Helian Yun Shen's perspective while also explaining the Yan family's situation to him.

At Luo Xuan's words, Helian Yun Shen, who had been pondering, stopped frowning and looked at the two of them before speaking.

“I feel like I’m being used by you guys, but what Brother Luo said makes sense. He did offend the Yan family in the city just now, so it wouldn’t hurt to help you out.”

"With Yun Shen's involvement, this matter will be a piece of cake."

Lei Mengsha was overjoyed to hear that Helian Yunshen was willing to get involved in this mess, slapping his thigh as he spoke. He then turned to Luo Xuan and recounted Helian Yunshen's battle against Xiao Li.

"Luo Xuan, you didn't see it! When Yun Shen fought against that white-browed Xiao Li, he used a combo attack that left him helpless and seriously injured."

I reckon he's been beaten down to a lower level; I wonder if he can recover.

"Yun Shen, no matter how capable you are, you're still not as capable as me. Don't act like this silly person you did today, or you'll mess things up again and it won't be fun."

Luo Xuan was also surprised by Lei Mengsha's words.

Despite his surprise, he calmly reminded Lei Mengsha to be careful not to have any accidents.

After being told that again, Lei Mengsha felt even more embarrassed.

…………

And so, the group, chatting and laughing, arrived at Lanruo Temple, the place they had agreed to meet with their contact.

Upon entering Lanruo Temple, they saw a woman dressed in a white gauze robe with a white skirt underneath, quietly waiting for them. Their arrival seemed to have caught her attention.

The woman turned around and looked at the group.

"Miss Yan Liuli of the Yan family is actually our contact person?"

Lei Mengsha and Luo Xuan were both surprised to see the beautiful woman in front of them. The contact person was actually a member of the Yan family, and a young lady of the Yan family at that.

Is it strange that you see me?

Yan Liuli replied to the group with a sorrowful expression on her face and no emotion.

Helian Yun Shen wasn't interested in who the contact was; he simply watched them talk and found a comfortable place to sit down.

As outsiders, Bai Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, like Helian Yunshen, couldn't get involved, so they found a place to sit, just like him.

"Sigh! If I had known you two were lucky enough to have someone save you, I wouldn't have intervened. If I hadn't intervened, I could have been leisurely resting in an inn in the city."

Why would anyone need to rest in this dilapidated temple outside the city?

"Young Master Huanyin, what palm technique did you use back then?"

Sikong Changfeng ignored the complaints in Helian Yunshen's speech and sat down to ask Helian Yunshen what kind of martial arts he used at that time.

The palm technique was incredibly powerful!

"I discovered this technique in ancient books and made some improvements later. I renamed this palm technique 'Angry Buddha Palm,' as the saying goes, 'The Buddha is compassionate, but there is also an angry Vajra.'"

It was slightly modified and then named this.

Hearing his question, Helian Yun Shen gave him a brief answer. Then he closed his eyes and quietly rested. Seeing this, Sikong Chang Feng said nothing more.

…………

Under the same night sky, in different places.

Two women who looked almost identical sat quietly by the campfire, watching the flames. Their purpose in coming here was simple: to find a way to bring back the person with a natural martial arts lineage and to help the Yan family in the Southwest.

"Second sister, why don't you go back with them this time?"

Looking at the campfire in front of her, the firelight reflected in Yueyao's eyes, and she finally spoke the words and thoughts that she had been thinking about for a long time.

Hearing her sister's words, Yuexi looked up at her and asked, puzzled.

"Sister, is there something you need to do in Beili?"

"I have some personal matters to attend to, so I'm thinking of not going back. Anyway, it's fine as long as the people with innate martial veins are taken back, I won't need to do anything then."

"Father can manage with your and Third Sister's help."

Nodding, Yueyao spoke to her younger sister, Yuexi.

As Yueyao spoke those words, she felt quite selfish and deeply guilty. But then she thought of her promise to Helian Yunshen and the longing she had felt over the years.

This made her want to make a decision.

Upon hearing about the personal matter, Yuexi guessed what had happened.

"No problem, sister. You can stay here. There will be no problem in Tianwaitian with me and Yueqing here. Besides, we can rescue Father by bringing back someone with a natural martial vein. With Father in charge, everything will be fine."

You've had a tough time these past few years.

"Yuexi, isn't your sister being selfish? Selfishly leaving all these things to the two of you while she runs away on her own."

Hearing her sister's understanding words, Yueyao felt even more guilty that her thoughts had been somewhat selfish. She asked her sister, Yuexi, with a hint of remorse in her voice.

When Yuexi, the younger sister, heard her older sister's words, she reached out and hugged her, speaking to her sister very gently.

"Sister, it's alright. You've been working so hard all these years. After Father went into seclusion, you've been taking care of everything at the Heavenly Outer Sect."

Yueqing and I are so grateful to you, we wouldn't think you're selfish.

Moreover, my mother once said: If you meet someone you like, you should pursue them and not leave yourself with regrets.

We from the Outer Heaven Sect will be fine.

Then, my sister can return to the Heavenly Outer Sect with her beloved!

"Thank you, Yuexi."

Her sister's comfort seemed to put Yueyao's mind at ease, and the guilt and worry on her face lessened considerably, as if she had figured something out.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do. Besides, my sister isn't such an indecisive or sentimental person. I almost didn't recognize you just now."
