C885 Zither Sound
C885 Zither Sound
The Yellow Sky Desert was a border region of the kingdom, while the Skypiercing Mountain Range belonged to one of the four great dukes, King Luo.
Last time, when Lan Ruo was assassinated in Huang Tian City, although he sent his men to investigate and didn't have much of an inkling of what was going on, but in his heart, he knew that this matter was related to King Luo's escape.
He and King Luo had been at loggerheads for more than a day or two. He understood King Luo's conduct and behaviour very well.
"Did Lanruo leave by herself?" King Lanning said with some worry.
"I've already ordered Ling Yu to chase after him, I think he's already caught up." Ling Xuan replied.
Lan Ning nodded, "With Ling Yu here, I'll feel more at ease. Oh right, why did Lan Ruo go to the Skysplit Mountains?"
"It's been said that Qin Yun, who has been missing for more than sixty years, has appeared in the Skypiercing Mountain Range." Ling Xuan replied.
"Qin Yun." Lan Ning Wang was no stranger to this name. After all, Qin Yun had saved Lan Ruo's life and taken the core of the stars.
"I'm sure King Luo will send some people to report to the city lord and see how things turn out." Lan Ning Wang said to Ling Xuan.
"Yes." Ling Xuan replied, then turned around and walked out of the ice room.
"Interesting. It's getting more interesting." A smile appeared on King Lan Ning's face.
Then, King Lanning got up and walked out of the ice room.
Within the main hall of the Cloud Flower Hall.
A handsome man in his thirties, dressed in green, was drinking wine happily. He was Hua Ying's brother, the Flying Dragon Guard's leader, Hua Yang.
"Brother, drink more slowly. Eat more of the food I've prepared for you." Hua Ying smiled at Hua Yang.
Her eyes no longer held the charm and ruthlessness from before, but instead, the joy that came from the bottom of her heart.
Hua Ying and Hua Yang had been relying on each other since they were young, and had relied on themselves to fight step by step until now. These two siblings had a very deep bond with each other.
"Haha, although there are countless delicacies and fine wine in the capital of Ningyang, my younger sister's wine and culinary skills are still the best." Hua Pi laughed.
"If you like it, come back often. If I remember correctly, we haven't seen each other in two hundred years." Hua Ying said to Hua Yang.
"I want to as well, but the Flying Dragon Guard has been pacifying the king's rebellion all year round. I'm just stationed nearby and have taken some time to come over for a few days." Huang Ming let out a long sigh and said.
Hua Ying laughed, "I was just joking."
"By the way, I heard you had something to talk to me about, right?" asked Zhou.
Hua Ying told Hua Yang about everything that had happened, including the matter of the City Lord's birthday coming up tomorrow.
"Hmph, opposing my sister means opposing me. Tomorrow, I'll go meet that Qin Yun and Jinyang City's City Lord!" Hua Yang said bitterly …
Qin Yun was on his way back to his residence when he passed by a small mountain in the City Lord's Mansion. He could vaguely hear the faint sounds of a zither.
The melody was filled with a tinge of sadness as it brought back Qin Yun's memories. He could not help but recall his loved ones in the Chinese world.
"I wonder if they are doing well?" Qin Yun said dejectedly in his heart.
Then, Qin Yun traced the direction where the sound came from and looked around. He could tell that the owner of the sound was a person filled with stories.
Qin Yun did not choose to fly straight in the direction of the zither music. Instead, he slowly walked down the path.
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, there were no longer any buildings or the sound of people. Everything seemed much quieter, and under these circumstances, the sound of the zither became even more sorrowful.
Soon, a pavilion deep in the woods entered Qin Yun's vision.
A woman in white was playing with a zither in the pavilion. Her face was covered with a thin veil, and her whole body exuded a delicate and elegant aura. She looked like a fairy that had transcended the mortal world.
In the Great Thousand World, Qin Yun had seen a woman with such an aura. She was only the Left Emissary of the Cloud Flower Hall, Flower Fairy. However, when compared to her, she was clearly on a different level.
Although Qin Yun could only see the side of her face, he could tell from her eyebrows that she was slightly sad. However, he could not tell whether her Cultivation was real or not.
"Could she be a demigod or above Cultivation? Or perhaps there is some treasure on him that is concealing its presence? " With doubts in his heart, Qin Yun slowly walked over.
As Qin Yun had not deliberately concealed his aura, he had been discovered very far away from her.
"Who?" The white-clothed woman stopped playing her zither and spoke without turning her head. Her voice was extremely gentle, giving off a feeling as if she wanted to protect her.
When Qin Yun saw the zither music stop, he immediately realized that he had been impolite to her by rushing over.
"I'm Qin Yun. I've disturbed young lady's mood. I'm sorry, but I'll be leaving now." Qin Yun said to the woman in white.
As he said that, Qin Yun turned to leave. However, he heard the woman in white say, "You said your name is Qin Yun?"
Following that, the woman in white looked in Qin Yun's direction.
Although it was covered by a thin veil, Qin Yun could guess that the other party was definitely an exceptional beauty.
"Exactly." Qin Yun looked at her and answered with a smile.
The woman sized up Qin Yun and said indifferently, "You should no longer enjoy your manor. What are you doing here?"
"I am following the sound of Miss's zither." Qin Yun answered politely.
"Oh? You still understand the zither? " The woman in white said as she looked at Qin Yun with interest.
"I don't understand, but I can hear something special from the sound of the zither." Qin Yun answered.
"Then tell me, what did you hear?" The woman in white said to Qin Yun.
"Memories and sadness." Qin Yun answered softly.
When the woman in white heard Qin Yun's words, a complicated look appeared in her eyes. "I never expected that the rising star, Mister Qin, would also be someone filled with stories."

At this time, a ray of light shot down from the sky as a gold-armored guard appeared at the entrance of the pavilion. "Miss Yun Le, I've come under the orders of the City Lord to have you return and rest."
"Got it." The woman in white named Yun Le answered and said to Qin Yun, "Mister Qin, farewell today."
After he had finished speaking, his body turned into a gust of wind and disappeared into the pavilion without a sound.
"Mister Qin, farewell." The golden-armored guard turned and said respectfully to Qin Yun before following closely behind.
"So her name is Yun Le." Qin Yun muttered as he looked in the direction the woman in white disappeared to.
Qin Yun did not know that Yun Le's reputation in Ning Yang was much higher than his. She had the reputation of being a happy girl.
If it weren't for the fact that the Jinyang City Lord had helped her in the past, he wouldn't have been able to invite her with his status.
"Forget it, let's go back and rest. No matter what, it will be very lively tomorrow." As Qin Yun said this in his heart, he too vanished from his original spot …
