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

"In that case, shall we go into the city? My brother-in-law will pay Young Master Helian the 10,000 taels of gold he needs."

Slightly relieved, Wen Hujiu invited Helian Yunshen into Qiandong City. He nodded without speaking and followed Wen Hujiu into the city.

Compared to other cities, this important northwestern town has a more somber and imposing atmosphere, with the entire city filled with a sense of readiness for battle.

Led by the warm pot of wine,

Helian Yun Shen arrived at the Zhenxi Marquis's residence in Qiandong City.

"Brother, what brings you here?"

Wen Luoyu, the younger sister of Wen Hujiu and the mother of Baili Dongjun, came out of the hall to greet the two. Wen Luoyu had a faint smile on her face, and her every move exuded the air of a noblewoman.

Although she is already a mother of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, she still looks so young, as if time has left no trace on her face.

"Who is this?"

After speaking with her brother, Wen Luoyu saw Helian Yun Shen standing next to Wen Hujiu. Looking at this young man who was about the same age as her son, Wen Luoyu couldn't help but show a look of shock.

The child's aura at such a young age is stronger than her father-in-law's, which means that the child is more powerful than her father-in-law.

What a generation of heroes!

"This is the famous Young Master Huanyin, Helian Yunshen. He came here mainly to ask his brother-in-law for money."

They introduced Helian Yun Shen's situation and explained their purpose for coming. Wen Luo Yu was a little confused when she heard that they were coming to their house to ask for money. After thinking for a moment, the only thing she could think of was that her son had gotten into trouble outside.

Did we offend this young master?

"On behalf of my son Dongjun, I apologize to Young Master Helian. I hope Young Master Helian will not hold that child against him."

After much thought, Wen Luoyu could only conclude that her son had caused trouble and offended the powerful Young Master Huanyin. With that in mind, she apologized to Helian Yunshen.

Wen Hujiu quickly explained after hearing his sister's words.

"It wasn't that Dongjun provoked this Young Master Huanyin; it's because Dongjun caused trouble at Mingjian Manor before. In order to get Dongjun out of trouble, we asked Young Master Huanyin for help."

The promised reward was ten thousand taels of gold as a token of gratitude.

"Thank you for your help, Young Master Helian."

Hearing her brother's explanation, Wen Luoyu glared at him fiercely. She was a little resentful that her brother hadn't explained things clearly, causing her to embarrass herself.

It made her feel very embarrassed.

However, being a woman from a prominent family, she possesses a strong ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

"Madam Baili, you're too kind. It's only right that I do what I'm supposed to do after taking the money."

Helian Yun Shen, who was not very good at interacting with women, instantly revealed his shyness again when faced with Wen Luo Yu, who was so poised, polite, and elegant.

However, compared to when he first met Yueyao, when he was so shy that he could even stutter, Helian Yun Shen was much better now.

"Young Master Helian, you're too kind."

With a smile on her face, she replied to Helian Yun Shen, while also being slightly amused by the shy appearance of this child who was about the same age as her son.

I thought:

She's still a person with a childlike heart.

"Young Master Helian, please stay at home for now. When my husband returns, the appropriate amount of money will be prepared for you."

Wen Luoyu didn't make the decision herself regarding taking out such a large sum of money, but waited for her husband to return. At the same time, she also wanted to keep Helian Yun Shen around for a while longer, allowing her family to make proper connections with him.

After all, if such a powerful person could be properly befriended, it would be of great benefit to the Baili family.

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

After thinking about it, Helian Yunshen did not refuse the matter.

…………

When Baili Chengfeng returned home, it was already nightfall. He had just arrived home when he learned about the incident from his wife. He originally planned to go and teach his son a lesson first.

After learning about this, he first went to Helian Yunshen's place.

"Young Master Helian, I apologize for keeping you waiting!"

Upon entering the room, Baili Chengfeng immediately lowered his attitude and expressed his apologies to Helian Yunshen, who in turn responded humbly to Baili Chengfeng's words.

"Your Excellency Baili, you're too kind."

"I am very grateful to Young Master Helian for helping my son when he was at Mingjian Manor. This is a reward of 10,000 gold coins that Hu Jiu promised to give you."

Meanwhile, someone in the wine jug said that the young master previously carried a jade flute and a folding fan. Seeing that the folding fan was no longer with him, it must have been damaged; this new folding fan can be considered an apology.

In addition to giving up the ten thousand taels of silver that was due, Baili Chengfeng also catered to Helian Yunshen's preferences and, through careful observation of his family, learned some details about Helian Yunshen's situation.

He then took out a fine folding fan and presented it to her.

Helian Yun Shen looked at the folding fan on the tray, and given his fondness and habit of folding fans over the years, he couldn't help but pick it up directly.

This folding fan is also made with jade as the fan ribs. This jade has been nurtured by true qi and has become as hard as meteorite iron and black ice.

The pattern design on it is very beautiful.

The auspicious cloud pattern is beautifully depicted.

The material used for the fan surface inside the folding fan is also unusual; it is made of silkworm silk, which is much stronger than ordinary silk.

These are top-quality materials, no matter what you're making.

The painting above is a landscape painting, and judging from the signature, it is the work of a master.

"Such a precious folding fan is too much for me to accept!"

"Young Master Helian is too modest. Back then, you helped my son escape from those people at Mingjian Manor and at the same time killed that old scoundrel Cheng Yu."

This is an immense favor to my Baili family.

It's just a folding fan; giving it to Young Master Helian is merely a drop in the ocean of repaying his debt of gratitude.

Baili Chengfeng exaggerated the favor he owed. However, Helian Yunshen knew very well that if he accepted the favor, it would be unreasonable not to lend a hand if the Baili family were to encounter real trouble.

But looking at this folding fan, Helian Yun Shen really wanted it.

After all, my old folding fan was broken, and I felt quite uncomfortable not having one in my hand.

After much deliberation, Helian Yun Shen was unable to resist his pure desire to obtain the folding fan and accepted it.

"Young Master Helian, I have prepared wine and dishes to entertain you. How about we go down and have a few drinks?"

Everything that should be given has been given, and everything that should be sent has been sent.

At this moment, Baili Chengfeng invited Helian Yunshen to have a meal together, so that they could reconnect through the meal.

Helian Yun Shen, who had been invited, rubbed his stomach and realized he was indeed a little hungry, so he agreed.
