Chapter 632 - Going To The Min Family (1/2)
”Hey, Yuan, before you leave, can we play the zither again for a bit?” Fei Yuyan suddenly asked him after a moment of awkward silence.
”Of course.” He immediately agreed.
”Let's do it at my backyard like we used to.”
”Okay.”
Fei Yuyan turned to look at Elder Shan and said, ”I'm sorry, Master, but I will end my training early today.”
”Do as you please.” Elder Shan nodded.
Yuan then followed Fei Yuyan back to her living quarters.
Once they were in the backyard, they sat down beside each other with their zither out.
”The Soul Ensnaring Zither? What happened to the Divine-grade zither you obtained at the competition?” Fei Yuyan asked him.
”Oh, that thing? I sold it.” Yuan casually said.
”Y-You sold a Divine-grade treasure…?” Fei Yuyan's eyes widened with disbelief.
”I didn't need it since I already have the Soul Ensnaring Zither, and I needed the money back then.” Yuan shrugged.
”But the Soul Ensnaring Zither isn't really a treasure…”
”While that is true, it still performs the same if not a little better than the Divine-grade zither.”
”In the end, it's not like I will be using it as a weapon, so it really doesn't matter to me.”
”I guess so…”
”Anyways, which song should we play first?” Yuan then asked.
”I am fine with any song.”
”Then why don't we play the songs that we played during our practice session before the zither competition?” Yuan suggested.
”Sure.” Fei Yuyan nodded.
A few moments later, they began playing the zither together, and they would spend the next few hours playing without any breaks.
At the end of their duet, Fei Yuyan stood up and bowed to him, ”Thank you for playing with me.”
”There's no need to thank me. We're partners, remember?” Yuan said with a smile on his face.
”Partners…” Although Fei Yuyan knew that Yuan was only talking about their partnership for the zither competition, it still made her incredibly happy to hear such words coming from him.
”Are you going to leave now?” She then asked him.
”Not yet. I still have to visit Xuan Wuhan before I can leave.”
”I understand. Once again, good luck with the Stairway to Heaven, Yuan.”
”Thank you.”
After saying their goodbyes to each other, Yuan made his way to Xuan Wuhan's living quarters.
”Hm?” Yuan noticed a figure standing outside Xuan Wuhan's living quarter when he approached it, and it turned out to be Xuan Wuhan herself.
”Yuan!” Xuan Wuhan immediately called out to him when she noticed his figure.
”Hello. Are you waiting for somebody?”
”Yes— you! I heard from my grandfather that you have returned to the sect, and I figured that you might visit me, so I have been waiting for you since then.” Xuan Wuhan said with a bright smile on her face.
