Chapter 318: Should I learn music from this old geezer?
When the commotion in the capital city of Riyan subsided.
About an hour and a half has passed.
Anyway, Yu Quzi's death was quite simple. The guqin suddenly broke free from his control and gathered a power that could crush heaven and earth. Yu Quzi then rolled his eyes and fell from the sky.
In short, it's completely lost.
When the onlookers finally realized what had happened, they were horrified to discover that a Saintly cultivator had fallen!
Undoubtedly, Yu Quzi's sudden death, Jiang Lingyun's appearance, and the confrontation between the other "Supreme Saint Cultivator" present will become a topic of conversation for a long time. Soon, starting from this Eastern Frontier, news of Yu Quzi's death will spread throughout the Xuan Tian Realm. Supreme Saint Cultivators are extremely rare in the world. Compared to the vast human population of the Xuan Tian Realm, they are an absolute minority standing at the very top, each one a one-in-ten-thousand existence.
The news of Yu Quzi's death will shake the entire Xuantian Realm.
Of course, Gu Heng would never know any of this.
"His Majesty!"
"The Valley Master of Thousand Sounds Valley is dead!"
Emperor Riyan was about to raise his hand to kill the fourth guard who had come to deliver the message and disturb his music and dance performance when his hand trembled.
"...You're saying that Yu Quzi, who reached the third level of the Supreme Saint realm, is dead?"
"Yes! It's said that Elder Luo Xian of Qianyin Valley has betrayed them, and even Yu Yinzi has been killed!"
"Understood, you may leave." (After listening...)
Emperor Riyan lowered his hand and then leaned back comfortably on the dragon throne.
The more he looked at the dancers in front of him, the more pleasing they seemed to him.
Good riddance!
……
Luo Xian had already returned ahead of time. Yu Quzi and Yu Yinzi had life tablets in Qianyin Valley, and now those tablets must be broken. In order to prevent chaos in Qianyin Valley, he had to rush back immediately to stabilize the situation.
Incidentally, he might also need to kill a few remnants of Yu Quzi's faction to ensure the stability of his position as Valley Master.
But most people will probably just be fence-sitters, listening to whoever wins.
As for Jiang Lingyun, she disappeared with Yu Quzi's complete corpse, but she said she would stay in the city a little longer, so Gu Heng didn't bother with her anymore.
Inside the Liu residence, Liu Changfeng personally served Gu Heng fine tea and led a large group of family members to kneel and perform various grand salutations to Gu Heng, showing not only respect but also deep gratitude and awe.
Of course, Gu Heng was not quite comfortable with such a grand gesture, so he quickly used polite words to ask him to leave.
So, only Gu Heng and Liu Yu were left in the courtyard.
"Young Master Gu, I truly don't know how to thank you enough this time..."
Inside the stone pavilion, Liu Yu was reserved, unsure of what to say, because nothing she said seemed to compare to what Gu Heng had done for her, not to mention that this kindness was extraordinary.
Gu Heng shook his head: "It's alright, there's no need for thanks."
Anyway, the system had already offered its "thank yous," so what could Liu Yu possibly want? It was true that the girl was very beautiful, but Gu Heng had no intention of taking advantage of her.
It's easy to ruin the image you've worked so hard to build.
Not to mention, Gu Heng is just a mediocre mortal, and his so-called demeanor is nothing more than a half-baked expert, and one with flaws at that.
"Oh, right, I'll leave this one to you."
Gu Heng took out the tattered guqin from his system inventory.
"I don't have any interest in playing the piano, and I wouldn't need it if it stayed with me, so I might as well just give it to you."
He pushed the Tongtianqin to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was stunned: "This...isn't this inappropriate?"
The sheer power this thing had just displayed filled her with a sense of despair. She was unaware of the existence of the Heavenly Harp, because in the Thousand Sound Valley, this treasure was naturally an absolute taboo secret.
But now that the item has fallen into Gu Heng's hands, Luo Xian naturally doesn't dare to ask him for it, and wisely slips away first.
But Gu Heng had nowhere to use the zither.
Without the "Musical Wonder" buff, he's a tone-deaf, musically challenged person. This thing looks broken, but it's actually very powerful. Since it's so powerful, why not give it to someone who knows how to use it?
"Not suitable?"
Gu Heng smiled and said, "If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable. You can accept it. If you don't accept it, then I'll use it as firewood."
The Heavenly Harp suddenly trembled!
"Then I want it!"
Hearing him say that, Liu Yu quickly hugged the Tongtianqin to her arms, afraid that Gu Heng would really burn it.
"now it's right."
Gu Heng finished the tea in his cup and then stood up.
"It's getting late. I have a little girl over there who's probably bored and pulling weeds right now, and maybe she's cursing me. I need to go back and cook for her."
"Miss Liu Yu, let's meet again if there's a chance in the future!"
After saying that, he left without looking back. He accomplished his task and departed, concealing his merit and fame.
Watching his carefree figure disappear into the distance, Liu Yu was stunned for a long time before she realized that he was gone.
"...Who exactly are you?"
Liu Yu murmured, her hands holding the Tongtianqin slowly tightening.
From beginning to end, Young Master Gu only made Liu Yu feel mysterious and gentle. Isn't that a strange feeling? He is obviously ridiculously strong, yet he is like an ordinary person, covered with the air of the common people. But these are all just appearances.
Liu Yu couldn't understand the truth beneath the surface at all.
Ultimately, it's because she's too weak.
But now she felt a deep curiosity about Gu Heng, and perhaps it was more than just curiosity...
"The Body of Ten Thousand Sounds... I never imagined that what Young Master Gu said was actually true." Liu Yu was startled.
"Who?!"
Where did that sound come from?
"Hehe, don't be afraid, little girl. I was just amazed by your talent and that's all I was saying. I'm not going to eat you."
The soul of the Silent Daoist suddenly emerged from the Tongtian Qin and landed in the stone pavilion. He then sat down in front of Liu Yu, his smiling appearance quite kind.
"You, you came from this zither..."
Liu Yu was also surprised.
"Girl, would you be interested in becoming my disciple?"
The Taoist Master Wuyin stroked his beard and smiled.
"But I don't even know your name, and becoming your apprentice is a major life event..."
Liu Yu stammered. The old man in front of her was actually quite unfamiliar, but she also felt a sense of familiarity. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly remembered that in Qianyin Valley, there was a mountain a thousand feet high that had been carved into a huge statue.
The person in the statue looks strikingly similar to the old man in front of me.
No, it shouldn't be called similar, it should be said that they were made from the same mold!
That statue was carved by a powerful figure in the past to commemorate the first master of Qianyin Valley, "Wuyin Daoren".
Could it be that……
"My name is Wuyin Daoren, just an old geezer, but I do know a little about music. How about it, want to learn from me?"
The Silent Taoist smiled, revealing his teeth.
However, it looks like he has lost most of his teeth.
Very scary.
