Chapter 609 - Zither Goddesss Immortal Cave (1/2)

”W-Well… Since Prime Disciple Ai says so… We'll forget about this incident. However, make sure it doesn't happen again, or the Sect Master will be very upset with you.” The sect elder said to her.

Because Ai Wan was Song Ling'er's disciple, the other sect elders didn't dare to punish her, as they believed that they would be overstepping their boundaries as a sect elder to discipline the Sect Master's disciple.

”Thank you, sect elders. This will not happen again.” Ai Wan bowed to them.

She then glanced at Yuan for a moment before leaving the Music Pagoda.

Yuan also decided to leave since it would be impossible to look at the music sheets in peace after that little commotion.

Once he left the Music Pagoda, Yuan noticed Ai Wan standing outside, almost like she was waiting for him.

”I'm sorry for acting up just now,” she suddenly said to him.

”I get agitated when people lie and make bold claims before me. You should know that 'God Descends from Heaven' isn't something ordinary people can play, and when someone claims they can play such a song to the end, it's only natural to doubt their claims.”

”If I had known that you were the same person from that competition… I'm sorry.” Ai Wan apologized to him again.

Yuan could tell that she was sincere in her apology, so he didn't hold any hard feelings for her.

”Don't worry about it. It was just a misunderstanding,” he said to her.

”Thank you.”

After a moment of silence, she asked him, ”By the way, what are you doing at our sect? Do you intend on becoming a disciple?”

”No, I am only here because of Senior Song. I will be leaving soon.”

”What a pity…” Ai Wan sighed.

”Pity?” Yuan lifted his eyebrows in a questioning manner.

”I heard from my Master that you are only playing the zither as a hobby and that you don't intend on becoming a zither expert. If I had your talents, I would definitely focus on becoming the best zither expert in the world.”

”I mean it's not like I am not playing the zither at all. I just don't want it to be my main focus, as there are other things that I find more entertaining,” said Yuan.

”It's your life, so I won't tell you how to live it. However, you will definitely disappoint many people with your decisions.” Ai Wan shook her head.

”Anyways, I have one last thing to ask you… The zither you used to play just now… It's the Soul Ensnaring Zither, right?”

”Yes, it is.”

Ai Wan went silent for a moment before speaking, ”Do you want to try something?”

”What are you talking about?”

”The Zither Goddess used to be a disciple of our Heavenly Melody Academy. Did you know this?” Ai Wan then asked him.

”Yes, I do.”

”Then did you know that her immortal cave hasn't been opened ever since she left?”
