With a yawn, Dong Lang stretched lazily and stood up. I unknowingly fell asleep. ” Dong Lang said to himself. Once he got up, a robe fell off his body. Dong Lang turned around and picked it up, ”Master.” Picking up the robe, Dong Lang knew that Master must have arrived last night.

”Master.” ”Master.” Dong Lang skipped towards his master's room. When he opened the door, he found his master drinking tea.

”Oh, you're awake.” Shu Yu did not feel the slightest bit of surprise at Dong Lang's arrival.

”Hehe, I accidentally fell asleep last night.” Dong Lang scratched his head.

”Master, what are we going out for?” Dong Lang had wanted to ask the same thing yesterday, but the terrible defeat yesterday made Dong Lang forget to ask.

”Oh, haha, look at my memory. You guys are going to a village called 'Pre-Water'. The village has not been peaceful lately, go check it out.” is with 'Everlasting Pavilion's' Shu Qin, Shu Jian. ”

”Disciple understands.”

”Alright, hurry up and go.” Shu Yu waved his hand.

”Yes, Master. Your disciple will go now.” Although Dong Lang had only visited the Everlasting Pavilion once in the past five years, he could still find it. After about four hours, Dong Lang saw a small mountain peak. At the foot of the mountain, Dong Lang stopped. He still remembered the last time he came here, when he saw the words ”Everlasting Pavilion” in front of the mountain gate. With a majestic aura and the flurry of dragons and phoenixes, he couldn't help but stop his footsteps. Now that he saw it again, it made him look at it for a long time.

Along the way, the layout of the houses were similar to that of the Sword Pavilion's, but the place was a little more luxurious compared to the Sword Pavilion's. ”We have arrived at the hall of the Fourth Hall.” The disciple of the fourth hall of Sword Pavilion, Dong Lang, requests to see you. ” Dong Lang stood in front of the hall and shouted.

”Hahaha, it has been a long time since we last met, Little Friend Dong Lang. Is Little Friend Dong Lang here for the 'former water village'? ” Hall Master walked out as he spoke. He looked to be in his thirties, and was holding a fan in his right hand. He kept the fan with him, as if he was an otherworldly expert.

”Yes, Hall Master, disciple is here to look for Senior Brother Shu Jian, Senior Sister Shu Qin.” After all, Dong Lang could be considered the head disciple of the Sword Pavilion. According to seniority, there was no need to call him Senior Brother or Senior Sister, but these words made the Hall Master feel much better towards Dong Lang.

”Mm, alright. You can go now. ”In a room four miles to the east.”

After Dong Lang expressed his gratitude, he rode the sword and left. It only took a few breaths to get there. There were seven or eight bamboo rooms scattered about. A girl was playing a zither in front of the house. She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the sound of the zither was melodious.

”Eh? Do you know the rhythm? ” The woman seemed to have noticed Dong Lang's arrival and she stopped playing the zither. She gently pulled at her hair and smiled at Dong Lang. He smiled awkwardly.

”I don't understand. I just found it pleasant to listen to. That's why I became enthralled.” Dong Lang was also very direct. Indeed, for the past five years, Dong Lang had been cultivating the [Frost Arts], and he didn't understand the slightest bit about music.

”If you want to learn, I can teach you.” The woman covered her face as she laughed. Her laughter was like a silver bell that pierced deep into one's heart. Although it wasn't the appearance of a Moon-Shrouding Dirty Flower, it was still a different kind of feeling.

”You don't look very familiar. You don't belong to our 'Everlasting Pavilion'.” the woman asked.
