Insufficient balance

  The woman in white saw Tang Hao being so clueless about romance and showed a displeased expression. Xu Renxia, who was watching from the side with Ai Ke, didn't dare to do anything either, which made Ru Nan feel somewhat unnatural, so she also pushed away the woman leaning on him.

  Guo Jing saw that he was the only one still holding onto the woman in his arms, and felt a bit awkward himself. He also let go of his hands and said to Tang Huo with embarrassment: "Don't be jealous, I was just pretending."

  Ai could see that Guo Jing was being quite rude, and asked Tang Huang: "Sir, aren't you the missing Tang Wan'er?"

  "Tang Wan'er?" Tang Hao didn't know how Ai Ke knew this name.

  "Yes, I also heard it from others. Tang Wan'er and Guo Shixiong grew up together, they were childhood sweethearts, and even entered the Lvfeng Sect together. Many people say she is Guo Shixiong's fiancée." Ai Ke said.

  Tang Hao didn't want Guo Jing to frame him like this in Lvfeng Sect, but now he was no longer Tang Yuanyuan, and the real Tang Yuanyuan was still in her own space ring, nor did she know what expression she would have after hearing this.

  "Unfortunately, however, Wany sister disappeared once when she was on a mission with Zhong sister, although Zhong sister is the most suspicious, but I absolutely don't believe it's Zhong sister who did it." Aike continued to say.

  Tang Huan smiled wryly and said, "I'm not Tang Wan'er. Guo Jing is a smooth talker who can't help but flirt with women. If you weren't Xu Renxia's girlfriend, I reckon he would have taken advantage of you too."

  Qing Shi Qi's table, apart from her and Hong Zhi, the two women without beautiful companions, the other four people all hugged a Jigong female cultivator in their arms. Although they were just puppets, physically, except for the dantian being replaced by the Ling Stone Array Method, they were no different from ordinary people, and they did not age or die, but they had no self-awareness.

  But for monks, this is not a problem. They think that as long as they can absorb yin and supplement yang while getting pleasure, why bother with so much.

  "I don't even know what we sisters did wrong, yet you all treat us with such disdain." A soft and beautiful voice came from a elegant room, accompanied by an unusual and charming fragrance that entered everyone's nostrils.

  At the same time, a slender figure emerged from the room. The woman had her hair styled in a flowing cloud bun, with her black hair hanging down her back like a waterfall. She wore a transparent silk dress that was almost see-through, revealing her golden embroidered yellow undershirt underneath without any concealment. A delicate waist was adorned with a gold-edged silk scarf, and although she didn't differ much from the others in terms of dressing, the aura emanating from her body made all the other flowers pale in comparison. The cold and stunning exterior paired with the gentle charm of a woman who had experienced the world made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

  "My humble name is Qi Tong, although I am of lowly status, but in terms of appearance, I was also one of the four great beauties of Guang Han Hall back then. I wonder if it's acceptable for me to serve you gentlemen?" The cold and elegant woman said.

  The man's eyes lit up and he shouted: "You come serve me, if you scout well I won't skimp on the reward."

  QiTong smiled coldly and turned back to the attic, saying softly: "However, the master of the pavilion had previously decreed that in order not to let the young woman snatch away the business of her sisters, a rule was established. Only those who can perform a duet with the young woman on the qin and sheng can spend a night with her. I wonder which one is willing to come and try?"

  The man who was called "Shixiong" by Hong Zhen stood up and said, "I have been learning to play the sheng for many years, I'm afraid I'm not good enough." Tang Huo, Guo Jing, Xu Renxia, and Ru Ran all spat out the wine in their mouths upon hearing this, making the man think that everyone was looking down on him with a hint of dissatisfaction.

  The man took over a jade flute and played together with the woman. The woman's piano sound was mixed with spiritual power, but this spiritual power was harmless to the listener, and instead had a refreshing effect.

  The man also felt this and added spiritual energy to the zither sound, but the woman was at the peak of her foundation-building cultivation, and the man's spiritual energy in the Qi-refining period seemed a bit lacking, and was quickly overwhelmed. The foundation-building man saw this and actually also added his spiritual energy to the zither sound, as if wanting to compete with the piano sound.

  QiTong ultimately showed a disdainful expression, merely lightly plucking the strings of the zither. The spiritual energy of the two people instantly dissipated, and at the same time, their faces also became extremely unsightly due to being counter-shocked.

  "Is there anyone else who wants to give it a try?" Qiting continued to ask.

  Qing Shi Tong's companion had been taken advantage of once, so he didn't dare to touch the nail again. Qi Tong shifted his gaze towards Tang Hua's table.

  "Why don't you all give it a try too? Women can also participate, and we have many tricks up our sleeves." Qi Tong smiled sweetly at Tang Huan.

  Tang Hao was looked at with numbness all over his body, but Tang Hao always felt that something was wrong. According to reason, the Lingxian Pavilion used the Guanghan Palace to make money in the past, but now the Lingxian Pavilion is gone, and they continue to receive guests for what purpose?

  Guo Jing still had a flirtatious look on his face and turned to Rouran beside him, saying: "You didn't learn that before? Why don't you go try it?"

  Rou Ran shook her head and said: "My cultivation is too low, going there would be embarrassing."

  QiTong smiled and said: "Young master can try it out, just think of it as practice."

  Rou'er's heart was somewhat curious about this strange spiritual music, and she took a new jade flute from the maid's hand.

  QiTong's zither sound rose again, and Rouran also blew the jade flute. Rouran was different from the man just now, and did not set up another flag, but merged his own spiritual power fluctuations into the original spiritual power fluctuations. Although it still sounded mainly with the zither sound, the flute sound made the zither sound more perfect.

  After a while, Qitian stood up and bowed, "It's been a long time since I've seen someone like you, young master. May I invite you to my chambers for a chat?" Qitian's words were as clear as day - she hadn't done it in a long time and was eager to find someone to alleviate her loneliness.

  Rouran put down the jade flute and was about to move forward when Tang Hao pulled her back, "This place is a bit strange."

  Ru Nan was already somewhat skeptical of Tang Huan, and being pulled by him made him even more depressed. However, he saw that Guo Jing also nodded in agreement, so he could only bow his head and say: "Miss, you are a peerless beauty, to be able to play a duet with you is already a great fortune, I dare not have other extravagant hopes."

  Everyone at Qing Shi Qi's table scolded Ru Ran for being an idiot, and Qi Tong also sighed: "Since the young master has a fierce wife, I won't force it."

  Tang Hao was speechless, he had merely pulled her into his arms and suddenly became her husband.

  "Nothing like that," Ruolan hastily shook her head and said, "We just met by chance."

  QiTong smiled lightly and said, "Since that's the case, young master can come whenever he wants, this humble girl will be waiting with an open door."

  Tang Hao suddenly stood up and asked: "What do you want to do by bringing us here? When can we go back?" Tang Hao finally couldn't help but say it out loud.

  QiTong still had that signature smile, "It seems like you all are not having a comfortable stay here, it seems we haven't served you well enough. But don't worry, you can rest assured and sleep peacefully tonight, tomorrow morning you will naturally leave. By the way, your tone of voice makes me feel very familiar, it reminds me of someone."

  "Who?" Tang Hao asked.

  Qī Tóng sighed, "The person who led the young woman to this desperate situation is... but anyway, the young woman also brought it upon herself. Never mind, let's not think about it anymore. You all have fun." Qī Tóng glanced at Rú Rán one last time before entering her own room.

  Now that we know we can leave tomorrow, everyone doesn't have much to worry about. The only regret is that in this place and situation, it's impossible to search for treasure anymore.

  Tang Hao chose a room and refused the white-clothed woman's request to serve him. He closed the door, not daring to sleep, and instead closed his eyes to cultivate.

  "Ah!" A sharp cry interrupted Tang Hao's cultivation.
