The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 145 — Music Games
Yun Shao replied casually, “It's okay, just a little hurt because of the fight.”
Lian Huanran who was still worried, looked at Qian Wenwu who was behind Yun Shao with an anxious expression. The sensitive Qian Wenwu instantly noticed Lian Huanran's gaze on her. Qian Wenwu thought for a while, before hesitantly saying, “Tadi Shao was met with a fairly strong opponent.”.
Seeing Qian Wenwu's complicated expression and the angry and upset expression in Yun Shao's eyes, which Yun Shao himself tried to hide, Lian Huanran could not believe the matter was that trivial.
But Lian Huanran put aside the matter that Yun Shao faced earlier, and gave Yun Shao a magic medicinal pill. Seeing Lian Huanran's worried expression, forcedly, Yun Shao took the magic medicinal pill Lian Huanran had given him. Instantly, the injuries on Yun Shao's body began to improve.
While Lian Haocun who was an expert at reading one's facial expressions, already knew for sure that the problem Yun Shao was experiencing was not that trivial. So after Yun Shao took the magic medicinal pill, Lian Haocun said, “Tell us the truth, your facial expressions will not be able to lie to us.”
Lian Haocun's tone spoke still coldly as usual, and although Lian Haocun did not speak with emphasis in her words, Yun Shao nor Qian Wenwu felt a little intimidated and obliged to tell the truth. Surely, Qian Wenwu realized the oddity, as if, Lian Haocun was born as a figure with high power.
After thinking for a while, Qian Wenwu clenched his hands and said, “Fight, who is competing with Shao, is someone bad. During the match, he humiliated Shao and made him ridiculed in public.”.
Yun Shao clucked in annoyance and lowered his head to the side. Lian Huanran could see Yun Shao's hands clenched tightly. While Lian Haocun felt that Yun Shao's anger was a natural thing, according to his analysis, Yun Shao was someone who had high self-esteem, and certainly, was, yun Shao's opponent's act of humiliating Yun Shao would infuriate Yun Shao and upset him.
Lian Haocun nodded in understanding and said, “We will definitely reciprocate the actions of the person, who humiliated Yun Shao?”
Qian Wenwu shook his head, then in a nervous tone, Qian Wenwu said, “No, there is no need to go that far for our sake... That person had a high rank and reputation among the members of the Jade Wolf Sect, so there was no need.”.
Lian Huanran tried to persuade Qian Wenwu to tell her who the person was, but unfortunately neither Yun Shao nor Qian Wenwu shut their mouths to answer. While Lian Haocun did not try to persuade them even once, and just watched until without feeling the sky was getting darker.
“Come go.” Said Haocun who stopped Lian Huanran's persuasive action. Lian Huanran looked at the already quite dark sky and nodded his head. While Yun Shao asked in bewilderment, “Go? Go where?”
Lian Huanran smiled widely and thanked him. Then he, his older brother and Long Yuan went outside through the window. Fortunately because it was dark, the shadow of the three people who jumped from top to bottom did not look too obvious, and did not attract the attention of people. Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan, were settling in the bushes and looking for the pavilion described in the Chao Bence report.
After a nearly three-hour search, Lian Haocun and his group finally found a pavilion that looked very similar to the one described on the scroll that Chao Bence had sent. After all, the Jade Wolf Sect was so vast that it was only natural that they would spend so much time finding the pavilion.
The pavilion was in a rather quiet place, and gave off a calm and simple impression. Because the pavilion has a very simple design, and minimalist but stunning. Upon entering the courtyard of the pavilion, they could also smell the faint smell of medicinal plants. There was also a beautiful music that seemed to lead them to a place.
After communicating with each other through eyes, Lian Haocun and her group finally decided to go to the source of the music. The source of the musical sound was not too far away, it was located within a small forest around the simple pavilion. After arriving at the place, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan were amazed by the beauty of the scenery in which they stood.
There is a large lake surrounded by trees. There are also plants that emit a beautiful glow at night, as well as butterflies and fireflies that fly freely. In the middle of the lake, there is a pavilion with a rectangular shape. The pavilion had four pillars located in a square corner, and had a roof that formed a semicircle.
Naturally, there was a bridge connecting the small pavilion in the middle of the lake to the ground where Lian Haocun and his group stood. Without hesitation, they walked to the bridge. In front of them, there were four steps leading to the area within the pavilion.
In the small pavilion, Lian Haocun and his group could see a figure dressed in white, which was also the same color as the small pavilion. The long black-haired figure, sat cross-legged with Gu Qin on his feet. His pale-skinned hand, plucked the strings of Gu Qin cunningly. Although his eyes were covered by a white cloth, his Gu Qin's play was completely unperturbed, as if, he had already fused with the instrument.
The sound that Gu Qin produced really felt harmonious and beautiful, so the focus of Lian Huanran and Long Yuan shifted from alchemist, to Gu Qin's music game. Meanwhile, Lian Haocun only listened to music while waiting for the music to end. He clearly knew the man who played Gu Qin, already knowing their whereabouts.
Without feeling it, the game ended quickly. Both Lian Huanran and Long Yuan seemed oblivious to it, as if the music had been played back in their ears. Right after finishing his music game, the man with the blindfold asked with a gentle smile, “Is the music game beautiful?”
When he heard the man's voice, instantly, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan returned to their consciousness. Lian Haocun nodded his head, although he did not enjoy listening to music too much, it was undeniable that the music game was indeed beautiful. The man smiled with satisfaction, then asked, “What is the purpose of you looking for me?”
