Chapter 247 (2/2)

At that, Tian Xu took a deep breath and asked, ”Tell me. How do you know Junior Sister Hua Cheng? Tell me everything.”

It was worth noting that Tian Xu and Hua Cheng were from the same generation, but Hua Cheng's talent was above Tian Xu's, and she was able to reach the Emperor Realm, whereas Tian Xu was still stuck at the peak of Skysoar Realm. Also, he had always admired Hua Cheng. But unfortunately, Hua Cheng had someone else in her heart.

As the gap between the two grew, he came to realize that there was not much of a chance that he could actually be together with Hua Cheng.

Xiang Shaoyun did not hide anything and told him everything. Of course, he exaggerated his story a bit, bragging about how he had managed to reach the human zither unity phase. That was how he caught Hua Cheng's attention and caused her to accept him as a little brother.

Tian Xu did not doubt a word of that, as he knew Hua Cheng was a friendly person who appreciated those with artistic talent. It was completely possible that Xiang Shaoyun had gained her favor by his talent in the zither.

And with the relations.h.i.+p between Gong Qinyin and Xiang Shaoyun, Hua Cheng would favor this young man even more. Tian Xu started lamenting the good luck this Xiang Shaoyun had.

”Since you have the backing of Junior Sister Hua Cheng, I doubt anyone will dare to give you any trouble in the pavilion,” said Tian Xu with a sigh. But he still couldn't help asking, ”Since Junior Sister Hua Cheng has not accepted you as her disciple, do you actually have a master?”

Xiang Shaoyun shook his head. ”Not for now, but Big Sister Hua Cheng told me she would find me a powerful master.”

”I see. Yes, that would be good for you,” said Tian Xu in disappointment. They continued chatting for a bit before he let Xiang Shaoyun leave.

”Shaoyun, did the vice pavilion master accept you as a disciple?” asked Liu Xinji when sending Xiang Shaoyun off.

Xiang Shaoyun shook his head. ”No.”

”What? Did you say something to offend the vice pavilion master?” asked Liu Xinji who instantly turned nervous. He was hoping that Xiang Shaoyun could become the vice pavilion master's disciple. With that, the status of both him and Zi Changhe would grow as well.

Xiang Shaoyun answered, ”Not really. Don't think too much, Elder Liu.”

He then stopped Liu Xinji from continuing to send him off. He wanted to take a walk with Zi Changhe alone. Since Liu Xinji was feeling discouraged because his plan had failed, he agreed and let the two walk alone.

Is it possible that this kid already has a master? Is it the Zither Empress? questioned Liu Xinji inwardly while looking at Xiang Shaoyun's departing back.

While walking through the pathway between two mountains with Xiang Shaoyun, Zi Changhe nagged repeatedly, ”Shaoyun, you have challenged the Lightning Alliance. I'm afraid the stronger members of the alliance will start showing up. You need to be careful.”

He was one of the few that knew about Xiang Shaoyun's extraordinary origin, which was why he had never viewed Xiang Shaoyun as an ordinary young man, and he had been keeping Xiang Shaoyun's origins a secret from even his master.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded and said, ”Don't worry, senior brother. I will be careful.” He paused for a bit before saying solemnly, ”Senior brother, I think it is best you attempt your Skysoar Realm breakthrough within this month.”

”Why so?” asked Zi Changhe in astonishment.
