Thinking of this, Yu Yan's gaze towards him couldn't help but carry a hint of inquiry.
She said, seemingly jokingly,
"Lord Yan wouldn't just stay here in Qianyin Pavilion, never stepping out of the gate, would he?"
"Mm," Pei Yan replied immediately.
Um?
Yu Yan's eyes widened.
She looked Pei Yan up and down.
"Even if you're a sound cultivator, you still need to go out and train. Otherwise, how will you improve your cultivation level? Pei Yan, you're kidding me!"
Pei Yan stared at her blankly.
If he goes out to gain experience, won't she have to find someone else when she comes back?
The man hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Yu Yan looked out the window at the sky.
It was already dusk.
That's all I have to say, I'll be going now.
Yu Yan left a storage bag as payment.
"Yu Yan!"
Pei Yan suddenly stood up and called out to her. Yu Yan turned around, her eyes full of confusion.
"If I... if I go outside, how will I contact you?"
Pei Yan's robe brushed past the Fuxi Qin, causing a soft melody to play.
Yu Yan lowered her eyes and glanced at the zither.
When she first came to Qianyin Pavilion, she was completely ignorant of music and couldn't tell who played the best.
But it was this zither that completely caught her attention.
When she came back here later, she wanted to hear music and also wanted to see the zither.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Pei Yan seemed to see a glint of light flash between Yu Yan's eyebrows.
He couldn't resist reaching out to touch it.
He barely managed to lift himself up before snapping back to reality.
"This is my communication stone."
Yu Yan withdrew her gaze, "Lord Yan has a single spiritual root. If one day you tire of the path of music cultivation, you may leave this zither to me."
Her peach blossom eyes held a half-smile, "Of course, I still hope you can break through your bottleneck."
With a creak, the door opened and closed again.
Pei Yan stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the communication stone in his hand.
After a long while, the man suddenly chuckled softly.
How did she realize that he had been stuck at a bottleneck for so long?
For a hundred years, his cultivation level has remained at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Perhaps he should listen to her advice and go out more.
He had learned almost everything at Qianyin Pavilion.
Tired of repairing roads?
Pei Yan couldn't help but recall the oath he had made in front of the old Taoist priest when he was ten years old and had accidentally acquired the Fuxi Qin.
From the moment he decided to switch to music studies, his mission was sealed.
If he doesn't master the art of playing the zither to its highest level, how can he fulfill his promise, how can he assist...?
Pei Yan's loving gaze fell on the Fuxi Qin.
At first, he couldn't distinguish the musical scales, so he practiced diligently for a hundred years and even came up with a method to come to the Thousand Sounds Pavilion.
Thanks to her, he was spared from abandoning his zither and breaking his vow.
He was prepared to die when the thought of giving up came to him.
Pei Yan lightly plucked the strings of the zither with his index finger.
It's like touching the star-like shimmering light between a woman's brows.
As Yu Yan stepped out of Qianyin Pavilion, she ran into the burly man again.
Upon seeing her, the other person quickly and respectfully lowered their head.
The woman's laughter was wicked.
She deliberately tossed the jade pendant in her hand and then dropped it, casually tossing it into the arms of the big man as she passed by.
The other person's body trembled.
"Honorable guest..."
"I don't know how you got recruited. Keep your things safe and hand them over to your master later."
The burly man was taken aback.
He held the jade pendant in both hands, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Yu Yan didn't care what he was thinking.
She was not interested in the Thousand Sounds Pavilion, and even less interested in becoming its master.
If Pei Yan wanted to thank her...
Although she didn't know why he was thanking her.
It would be better to lend her the Fuxi Qin so she can study it.
"Yanyan, what are you doing here?!"
