Chapter 26: Methods (Three More Votes Needed!)

  "Why don't we just make this matter public? Neither of us is interested in the sword anyway. Let's let those who want it fight for it, and after they've exhausted each other, we can also bring out the successor of the Li family. If we confirm that he is indeed the successor of the Li family, then giving him the sword would be fine. However, if we do this, we won't have anything to gain, but the successor of the Li family will become the public enemy of the martial arts world." Yu Qinghong explained.

  "This is simple, I will personally protect the Li family heir, at worst, I'll take out everyone who participated this time!" Yang Tianwen replied, but this answer even surprised himself. Take out everyone? This was something he wouldn't have thought of in the past. Had he changed? It seemed like it, but after changing, was he still himself? Yang Tianwen felt a thread of confusion and slowly sank into it.

  "Ah yo~~" Yang Tianwen suddenly shouted, looking down to see that Xiao Bai had bitten him hard at a critical moment, breaking the skin. Yang Tianwen's heart was greatly relieved, almost... , The awakened Yang Tianwen quickly came to a conclusion, no matter whether he had changed or not, as long as he was clear in his conscience, he was still the original Yang Tianwen!

  He picked up Xiaobai, and slapped its little butt hard, saying: "Can't you be a bit gentler? Look, it's all bruised!" Yang Tianya pointed at his own leg, scolding Xiaobai. However, he didn't make things difficult for it, and threw it onto the table to continue eating. He himself shouldn't get entangled in that kind of unnecessary trouble.

  Yu Qinghong didn't think Yang Tianwen's words were wrong at all. As long as the dead weren't from the Yu family, even if everyone in the world died, it had nothing to do with him. "Right! You're absolutely right, how come I didn't think of that!"

  Yang Tian was stunned for a moment. This guy is indeed the kind of person who fears that the world is not chaotic enough! Or should I say, this is the thinking of a superior being?

  "It's all right, don't say anything else. Fengxiu and everyone have come out." Yu Qinghong reminded, his eyes shining brightly as he looked down.

  Yang Tianwen also curiously looked down, a woman wearing a pink and white skirt, with long hair draped over her shoulders, a veil covering her face, and holding an ancient zither, walked up onto the stage. In terms of appearance, the beauties he had seen before were no match for this woman's figure, but since her face was covered, Yang Tianwen didn't know if she belonged to that type of beauty with a stunning back view.

  The woman gently placed the guqin on the guqin table, slowly sat down, and softly said: "This piece is called 'Light Humming'". After finishing speaking, she began to play the guqin. A gentle and elegant sound of the guqin spread throughout the entire hall.

  The sound of the zither pierced through his heart, making him feel physically and mentally relaxed. The entire audience of hundreds was mesmerized by the music, with even their breathing sounds barely audible. Yang Tianwen was amazed by this level of skill, although he didn't have much knowledge about zithers. But as the saying goes, "You don't need to eat pork to know what it tastes like, and you don't need to see a pig run to know how it moves." Judging from the music, Fengxiu was undoubtedly a master of her craft. The melody was low and gentle, like a woman's soft whisper, but it conveyed a sense of freedom and discontent with the world. Yang Tianwen didn't know why he could understand it, but that's what it sounded like to him.

  Freedom? How interesting!

  The music ended, and Fengxiu stood up with everyone else, saying: "Thank you all, I bid farewell." After finishing speaking, he picked up his zither and turned to leave the hall.

  "Oh? Only performing one piece? This Fengxiu's attitude is quite impressive." Yang Tian asked with a slight smile.

  "What a pity, one song a month. However, if you want to listen again, it's said that as long as you can understand the meaning of her piano or answer a few questions, she'll play exclusively for you at the Piano Institute. How about giving it a try?" Yu Qinghong asked curiously.

  "Not interested." Yang Tian asked, shaking his head and picking up the Bi Luo Chun tea on the table, taking a light sip.

  Yu Qinghong's face suddenly fell, and he deeply felt that under the calm and unremarkable exterior was hiding a ferocious beast. His personality is straightforward, saying one thing and meaning another. Being friends with this kind of person is the most reassuring and comfortable, but competing with them is asking for trouble.

  Yang Tian took a glance at the kid and knew what he was up to. Forget it, for the sake of brotherhood, I'll help out if I can. Pretending to hesitate, he opened his mouth: "Don't think I don't know what you're up to, wanting to make a move on someone but instead pulling me in as the vanguard."

  "Hehe ~~" Yu Qinghong smiled foolishly.

  "Didn't you say that the back of Tingyu Building is the Liu family of the Southern Shu imperial family? Aren't you afraid that Fengxiu and others are the emperor's and prince's forbidden relatives? This is taboo!" Yang Tianwen reminded.

  "Impossible! The women of the Scattered Flowers Building, perhaps I still need to be cautious, but this is the Listening Rain Building, and Fengxiu and everyone are absolutely free here." Yu Qinghong retorted.

  "Haha~~~ Really? Haven't you heard the phrase 'being unable to control one's own body'? Yang Tian asked with a slight smile. If it were that simple to just leave, then this Phoenix would not have been hinting at her desire for freedom in the sound of the zither. Born in a chaotic world, if beneath that veil lies an otherworldly beauty capable of captivating cities and countries, then freedom is but a distant dream. The current life is already the best it can be; if she were to leave, as a weak woman without support or backing, her fate would undoubtedly be tragic."

  Yu Qinghong wasn't a fool either, and after some thought, he understood what Yang Tianwen meant. As someone from a wealthy family, he actually understood the darkness behind it even better than Yang Tianwen. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I didn't expect that you would see through it more clearly than me."

  "It's easy for bystanders." Yang Tianwen shook his head and stroked the fur of Xiao Bai.

  "The performance is over, let's go back to sleep. Tomorrow will definitely have a lot of things to deal with." Yang Tianwen stretched his waist and picked up the little white cat that was sleeping on the table, then walked downstairs.

  Yu Qing Hong thought of Yang Tian's bold move on the road tonight, and his head suddenly became big. So many masters were defeated by one blow, and tomorrow will be a stormy night.

  The day passed like this. In the morning, Yang Tian asked Da Xiao Bai to get up early and lie down beside his head. The cute appearance made Yang Tian's mood comfortable.

  As soon as he came out of the room, he saw Yu Qinghong also coming out of another room. Yang Tian asked in surprise: "Hey, you little devil was unusually honest for once yesterday!"

  Yu Qinghong rolled his eyes and turned around to walk out the door, saying as he went: "You can call for breakfast yourself, I'm going out to gather some information."
