Qin Feng and the others were stunned when they saw Meng Ying.
Yin Tiantian and Shen Mengying exclaimed in surprise, "How come it's you? Weren't you at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion in Yunxi City?"
Mengying was surprised to find it was an old acquaintance. She was slightly taken aback for a moment before she came to her senses and gave a faint smile.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to see so many of you again. We really are destined to meet."
I was originally a disciple of Miaoyinfang. In order to pursue the ability to play captivating music, I needed to experience the mortal world. My experience at Baihualou in Yunxi City was a form of cultivation, and I returned after gaining some insights.
"I never expected you all to come to Tianjiao City. What a coincidence!"
The moment Qin Feng saw Meng Ying, he immediately thought of the attack on Shen Mengying. However, seeing Meng Ying so calm and with such clear eyes, it didn't seem like her at all.
However, Qin Feng still kept a watchful eye.
In fact, Qin Feng and his group had discovered that Mengying and Miaoyinfang were related before they came to Yizhou, and Shen Mengying brought it up at the time.
When Xiaolan, the receptionist, saw that Mengying knew them, she tactfully left.
Yin Tiantian and Shen Mengying didn't think too much about it. They only remembered that Mengying played the zither very well at Baihua Tower last time.
"Great! I didn't get enough last time. I hope no one will disturb me this time. I want to listen to my heart's content."
Mengying smiled and said, "Okay, my piano skills have improved. I hope you like it."
She walked to the center, sat cross-legged, spread out the guqin, adjusted her breathing, and placed her slender hands lightly on the strings. Her entire demeanor changed instantly.
Her jade-like fingers began to dance, the movements elegant and natural, without the slightest pause, and a moving melody began to play.
The music was as soft and melodious as silk, stirring the hearts of everyone present.
The beautiful melody drew everyone into a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, making people feel very at ease.
It flowed through everyone's hearts like a gentle stream, bringing them a sense of tranquility and peace.
For example, when the morning sun is just beginning to shine, and you are still half asleep, something furry brushes against your cheek, which is very pleasant.
Immersing oneself in the beautiful music can help one forget worries and bring joy and peace of mind.
Qin Feng noticed that Meng Ying's piano skills had indeed improved.
Previously at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion in Yunxi City, Mengying's playing was equally elegant and beautiful, captivating the audience, but it didn't have the same effect as today.
It had an effect that seemed to cleanse the soul, making people let down their guard from the bottom of their hearts; it was extremely comfortable.
Qin Feng was startled by this thought and quickly composed himself. Being too relaxed was not a good thing; the art of music could catch people off guard.
After Mengying finished playing the piece, she smiled at everyone and said, "How did everyone feel? Are you all satisfied with my performance?"
Yin Tiantian stretched comfortably, as if she had just woken up, and mumbled indistinctly:
"It was so comfortable, so amazing! Mengying, you're incredible! Just now, I felt like I entered a very comfortable environment. It was so quiet and peaceful, filled with the sounds of nature. The sun was shining brightly, and there was a babbling brook. I loved it so much."
Shen Mengying quickly added, "After listening, I felt my mind was much lighter, and I didn't feel drowsy anymore. What's going on?"
Xiao Fan chimed in, "I feel the same way."
The group looked at Mengying curiously, waiting for her answer.
Mengying smiled and explained:
"Our Miaoyinfang is skilled in the art of music. Music can touch people's hearts, arouse their desires, soothe their hearts, bring them peace and tranquility, and even cleanse their souls. However, my skills are not yet proficient, and this is all I can do."
Yin Tiantian's mouth dropped open. "So amazing! I thought it was just playing the piano."
Mengying smiled slightly, "This is our way of cultivation, feeling the emotions of the world and playing our own chapters. Please forgive our poor performance."
Qin Feng looked at her meaningfully, "Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Mengying. You have truly broadened our horizons."
Mengying looked at him meaningfully, "Unfortunately, my music is useless to you, young master."
Qin Feng chuckled, "I'm just a rough man, it's normal that I don't understand."
Mengying didn't dwell on the issue, but instead asked a question that caught Qin Feng and the others off guard.
"By the way, when I was at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, after you all left, the City Lord of Yunxi City suddenly disappeared, did you know that?"
Qin Feng didn't understand what Meng Ying meant, and of course he couldn't tell her the truth, so he shook his head.
"Is that so? We've all left, how would we know? But since you've brought it up, you must know something, why don't you tell us?"
Mengying nodded and explained:
"I don't know much either, except that the young city lord of Yunxi City used to come to me to listen to his zither every now and then, but he hasn't come for a long time now, which I find strange."
Later, I discovered that City Chief Ren Tianya and Tianlian Mountain Patriarch Xie Zhenwei had both disappeared, and that's when I realized something terrible had happened.
Leng Yuexi, Xiao Fan, Yin Tiantian, and Shen Mengying appeared calm on the surface, but were somewhat worried inside, as it seemed that more and more people were paying attention to this matter.
Yin Tiantian feigned surprise, "Oh, is that so?"
Mengying continued, "Yes, later the Fengqing Sect came. By the way, do you know the Fengqing Sect? It's a force in Yizhou."
Upon hearing the name Fengqing Sect, Shen Mengying unconsciously frowned. "What's wrong? I know Fengqing Sect; it's not far from our Lingyan Pavilion."
Mengying nodded and continued:
"Later, Liu Xiaopeng from the Fengqing Sect arrived. He was the son of Liu Zhihao, the sect leader of the Fengqing Sect. He left in a hurry, having received some news."
His stay in Yunxi City was very short, no more than half an hour.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, as if he understood something. The Fengqing Sect was probably related to Shen Mengying's attack.
Shen Mengying had obviously thought of that too, and her expression turned quite unpleasant.
Qin Feng didn't know why Meng Ying told them these things, whether it was intentional or unintentional, or what her purpose was.
"Miss Mengying is indeed well-informed; we knew nothing about these things."
Mengying smiled slightly, "It's just that we're in the mortal world, surrounded by many people and gossip, so I only overheard a few things."
Qin Feng and the others remained silent.
Seeing that Qin Feng and the others had a lukewarm reaction, Meng Ying knew that this would not achieve the effect she wanted.
Her smiling face suddenly turned serious, and she activated the soundproofing array in the room.
Qin Feng and the others frowned as they watched her actions.
"What does Miss Mengying mean by this?"
Mengying took a deep breath, her eyes turned red, she was very emotional, and her voice became hoarse.
"Gentlemen, let me get straight to the point. I know what you want, but I hope you will promise me one thing."
Yin Tiantian had no idea what Mengying was up to. "What are you talking about? What do you want? What do you want us to do? Make it clear first."
Mengying looked at them with a serious expression.
“I know what Ren Tianya, the city lord of Yunxi City, and Xie Zhenyang, the patriarch of Tianlian Mountain, are looking for. If I’m not mistaken, the tokens they have are now in your hands.”
