Chapter 359: Chapter 43: Do you also like Yu Xiang’er? [Ask for Monthly Ticket!] _1

Music Pavilion.

This is a music hall established by Nanyin Square in more than seventy large cities of the Yu Dynasty. It hosts performances all year round, but its primary purpose is to select talents for Nanyin Square.

The Music Pavilion recruits twice a year in spring and autumn. Children interested in the cultivation of Music Law can be sent here for selection.

If one can successfully learn in the Music Pavilion for three to five years, they can become excellent musicians or dance masters, receiving the respect of noble families and even the imperial family. If they could stay in the Music Pavilion, they would inevitably become famous experts.

Of course, the very best ones stand out in cultivation and Music Law. They can be sent to Nanyin Square to seek the real way to Music Law.

As for the current core disciples of Nanyin Square, they are the cream of the crop amongst the talented musicians of Nine States.

That should give you an idea of how strong their talents must be.

Could Li Feiyu have been hiding in the Music Pavilion in Donghuai City all this time?

Or perhaps the owner of this belly band resides in the Music Pavilion, and she has some relationship with Li Feiyu?

Chu Liang, carrying these questions and the belly band, returned to the inn with Yun Chaoxian. He wouldn’t leave this vital piece of evidence, obtained through great hardships, to Tang Shi and Ji Lingyu.

After all, they were still competitors.

Just like how Ji Lingyu could easily find out who the belly band belongs to by just taking a stroll in the Music Pavilion and matching the aura on the band, she wouldn’t take Chu Liang and the others with her. Their cooperation had ended when they tracked down the Music Pavilion.

Walking on the street, Yun Chaoxian asked, "What should we do next?"

He had become used to relying on Chu Liang, having reached a conclusion with his wisdom that surpassed the Heavenly Gang Sect...since Chu Liang was wiser than him, listening to him must be the right choice.

Chu Liang said, "Although Miss Ji won’t help us find the belly band’s owner, it’s much easier now that we have a rough idea. If all else fails, we can borrow a Spirit Dog from somewhere else. It will serve the same purpose as her."

"Spirit Dog?" Yun Chaoxian thought for a while, "Thunder Fortress surely has one, should we go and ask?"

"Uh...," Chu Liang laughed nervously, "If we are really going to Thunder Fortress, I won’t show my face. Do you know anyone there?"

"Yes, I do." Yun Chaoxian nodded confidently.

"Who?" Chu Liang asked.

"That Deng Yixiao, I fought with him in Shu Mountain last time." Yun Chaoxian grinned.

There had been a large-scale brawl at the gate of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands in Shu Mountain last time. Chonglou Temple helped Thunder Fortress, Yun Chaoxian hence made a move and clashed with Deng Yixiao.

"..." Chu Liang fell silent for a moment.

It seems that Brother Yun could not distinguish between "familiar people" and "enemies."

After a pause, he said, "Let’s not rush then, let’s go check out the Music Pavilion first."

He thought that as a famous heroic thief from Jiangnan, Li Feiyu must often go out. If they visit the Music Pavilion and find out who is suspicious, who had strange behaviors last night, or who has "close" contact with outsiders, they might find something valuable.

Everything else can wait till later.

With that in mind, the two arrived at the Music Pavilion.

Although the Music Pavilion in Donghuai City was not big, it seemed lively, with many people coming in and out of the main gate and the main hall.

As Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian stepped over the threshold, they saw a square table in the hall with a middle-aged woman wearing a musician’s robe seated behind it. It seemed she was there to welcome the guests.

Seeing the two of them walk over, the female musician asked, "Are you here to watch the performance?"

"Ah...yes." Chu Liang immediately nodded, "Can we go in?"

"Turn left here, walk to the end, and queue up to buy tickets," the female musician pointed to a corridor nearby.

"Thank you." Chu Liang thanked her and walked over with Yun Chaoxian.

However, after walking through the corridor, they did not see any ticket office. Instead, they saw a door that looked like it led outside the Music Pavilion.

What’s going on?

Confused, Chu Liang pushed the door open.

"Wow——" Both of them exclaimed in amazement.

Behind the door was a large empty space, which was currently crowded with people! From a close look, one could see that it was a winding queue, filled with people to the point where they could hardly be counted.

Chu Liang felt that there seemed to be more people than the audience at the last Shu Mountain Peak Conference.

"What’s going on?" Both of them were puzzled.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw two people looking back at him.

One was a harsh man with a red knife at his waist, and the other was a man with a white cloth wrapped around his face. The harsh man was none other than Ren Hongdao, the eldest senior brother of the Heavenly Gang Sect, and the masked man was unmistakably Minister Zhang in terms of his stature and features.

It was actually them!

Could it be that the news has been leaked?

That was Chu Liang’s first reaction.

But the next second, Ren Hongdao spoke: "Junior Brother, Warrior Chu, do you... also like Yu Xiang’er?"

Yu Xiang’er?

Chu Liang vaguely remembered this name because anyone who had heard about Nanyin Square would know of the top three unrivaled talents of this generation.

Yu Xiang’er was the most prominent, followed by Xue Lingxue, and lastly Shen Qingyan.

Had she come to Donghuai City?

Chu Liang had only heard about her, while Yun Chaoxian, being a simple-minded strong man, only cared about who among his peers was the strongest.

Yet, they both nodded simultaneously: "Ah, yes, yes."

Though they didn’t know, they still nodded.

"I’ve liked Yu Xiang’er for a long time," said Chu Liang seriously, while trying to remember, "In Nanyin Square, I prefer Yu Xiang’er, second only to Shen Qingyan. However, overall, my favorites are Jiangjiang and Yue Bai from our Shu Mountain Sect!"

These words were the exact ones he had heard from Lin Bei before. He had only changed one of the names.

Hearing this, Ren Hongdao, a fierce man who had slept with a long knife from childhood and his mere glance was enough to silence a street full of children, suddenly showed a smile, as if he had found a confidant.

He firmly grasped Chu Liang’s hand, "Me too. However, I prefer Shen Qingyan first, followed by Yu Xiang’er. Since you also like them both, then we are good friends."

"Ah, hehe..." Chu Liang attempted to smile in the same way while recalling, "Qing Yan Qing Yan, a beautiful woman with a sweet voice."

Ren Hongdao answered excitedly, "My heart yearns for Qing Yan, it’s all for her happiness!"

"Yay...""Yay!"

Chu Liang was swept up in the excitement, voicing his joy.

Minister Zhang, standing by their side, coughed lightly, "Ahem, Brother Ren... we should still be aware of our image."

Upon hearing this, Ren Hongdao immediately withdrew his hands and crossed them over his chest, resuming his cold demeanor, while whispering, "No problem, not many people recognize me."

After a few more sentences, Chu Liang found out that Yu Xiang’er from Nanyin Square would be performing here tomorrow, hence the large number of people in line to buy tickets today.

As core disciples of Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Ren Hongdao and Zhang Chen could have revealed their identities for Music Pavilion to arrange some high-end seats for them, at the very least, they wouldn’t have to queue. However, Minister Zhang, who had already falsely claimed to be elsewhere after being recognized, would inevitably cause some negative impact if he was exposed in Donghuai City again. So that’s why he came masked in the queue.

Seeing them in such a state, Chu Liang tentatively asked, "Given your leisure time to watch the show, may I presume you have found some leads on Li Feiyu?"

"Not yet," Minister Zhang replied. "We haven’t made any progress, but since Brother Ren has an interest in this Miss Yu’s tour, I decided to accompany him here to relax."

"Oh, I see..." Chu Liang was finally assured.

But immediately after, Zhang Chen asked, "Aren’t you two also here for the same reason? Have you found any leads?"

"We haven’t found anything either." Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian immediately shook their heads.

But Ren Hongdao looked at Yun Chaoxian and wondered, "No leads, then why’s your face turning red?"

"Ah?" Yun Chaoxian became even more nervous.

Chu Liang said on the side, "Perhaps Brother Yun is feeling shy about seeing Miss Yu."

"Yes, I’m shy." Yun Chaoxian said.

"That’s understandable." Ren Hongdao nodded, then glanced at Yun Chaoxian again, "Why are you not only blushing but also sweating?"

"Ah..." Chu Liang said again, "Maybe Brother Yun is feeling a bit hot?"

"Yes, I’m hot." Yun Chaoxian said.

"We martial artists should be able to endure both heat and cold, how can we be afraid of heat? Hey, why are you shaking?" Ren Hongdao asked again.

"..." Chu Liang muttered under his breath that this person’s mental endurance was too poor and didn’t know how to cover for him.

Just then, Yun Chaoxian answered himself, "I might be a little cold..."
