Chapter 360: Chapter 44: It’s Her [Seeking Monthly Ticket!]_1

Yu Xiang’er’s performance at the Music Pavilion was not a large-scale tour, but a spontaneous showcase as she happened to be here. Cases of disciples from Nanyin Square performing here were not uncommon, but someone of Yu Xiang’er’s status didn’t perform often.

Unlike individual tours that heavily advertise, those who knew about this event and bought tickets were all fervent fans from Donghuai City. The crowd was sizable but not growing any larger.

Soon after, two women joined the group.

"Junior Sister, Miss Ji?" Ren Hongdao looked at them puzzledly: "Why are you here too?"

As it turned out, they were Tang Shi and Ji Lingyu, and they happened to be in the same situation as Chu Liang.

Hearing Ren Hongdao’s question, both young women blinked, about to answer, when Chu Liang asked them: "Are you also fans of Yu Xiang’er?"

"Ah yes, yes, yes." Tang Shi and Ji Lingyu immediately nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the situation mirrored the one before.

"Great." Ren Hongdao nodded approvingly, "I didn’t know we had so many like-minded people in the Heavenly Gang Sect."

Minister Zhang was standing nearby, watching them in silence, with a smile.

Tang Shi glanced at him and asked: "Why is Brother Zhang’s face covered?"

"Hush." Minister Zhang raised a finger and said, "Don’t call me by my full name when we’re outside."

Chu Liang chuckled, finding himself in a similar situation as Minister Zhang.

The difference was that he had too many admirers, while he was hated by many...

Hence, he suggested: "Actually, I’m in the same boat, Brother Zhang. Maybe you should pick a pseudonym like I did for when you’re out and about."

"That’s a good idea." Minister Zhang replied.

"My alias is Chu Liuxiang, how about you take the name Zhang San?" Chu Liang suggested.

Minister Zhang: "..."

In essence, these two names were similar.

However, one seemed to lack effort and even seemed like a cop-out to some extent.

All of them spent long hours waiting in line to buy the tickets that day, agreeing to watch the performance the next day.

Back at the inn, Yun Chaoxian said: "This won’t work. With my Eldest Senior Brother and the others around, how are we going to gather information?"

"It won’t work during the day." Chu Liang replied: "How about we sneak into the Music Pavilion at night?"

...

Night came.

Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian came to the outside of the Music Pavilion, preparing to sneak in under the cover of darkness.

Just as they arrived at the street next to the Music Pavilion and were still assessing the situation, they saw a shadow leap into the courtyard.

But in a blink of an eye, a tune rang out from within the Music Pavilion.

Twang--

The sound was so strong that the intruder who had just made it in was immediately flung back out, rolling on the ground!

Soon after, several guards from the Music Pavilion came rushing out.

A voice shouted from within: "Beat that scoundrel who dared to sneak into the Music Pavilion and peek at Miss Yu to death, no mercy!"

"Ah! Ah! I won’t dare anymore!"

"..."

Listening to the screaming, Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian winced.

Nanyin Square differs from the normal Immortal Sects as they do not need disciples to gain experience through battle. Each core disciple, who is one in ten thousand, is very precious. As they are not skilled in combat, at least one guardian is assigned to protect them.

Usually, the guardian is a musician in the sect from the previous generation who failed to become a core disciple but possesses high strength. These people are often cultivated to become combat musicians.

Like Xue Lingxue who Chu Liang had met before. There didn’t seem to be any elders around her, but a guardian was surely in the group who would step in when danger arises.

The one who just shouted was probably Yu Xiang’er’s guardian. Considering the intensity of the attack, he should be someone from the Peak Sixth Realm.

"How do we get in?" Yun Chaoxian asked.

Chu Liang considered for a moment and said: "To get in unnoticed, we could perhaps have a brawny man storm in through the main gate drawing the attention of the guardian, while another person, who is sneaky, uses this opportunity to slip in unnoticed from the side."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chaoxian hesitated and replied: "But I am both brawny and sneaky. What should I do?"

"..." Chu Liang paused for a moment and said: "In that case, do me a favor and storm in."

Neither of them were the type to beat around the bush. Once a plan was laid out, they didn’t waste any time.

Yun Chaoxian covered his face, left the Zhenshan River Halberd behind, and stormed into the Music Pavilion with his fists raised, shouting: "I want to see Yu Xiang’er!"

"Another one?" The guardian of the Nanyin Square was furious, the notes of his music sizzling with sharpness.

Swish! Swish! Swish! ——

In fright, Yun Chaoxian barely managed to dodge mid-air, flipping twice, "You didn’t strike that hard just now!"

"If I don’t kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, do you all really think I can’t handle you guys!" The protector has yet to appear before Yun Chaoxian, but his voice and the sound of the zither had already reached him.

The zither’s sounds resonated, instantly forming a large formation!

Yun Chaoxian was trapped within it, barely able to move and getting hit occasionally despite his sturdy physical body. At the same time, he felt somewhat unlucky. How did he suddenly become the sacrificial chicken?

Just when he was about to collapse, a woman’s yell came from outside: "Hey!"

Another person broke into the formation!

...

While the protector was distracted, Chu Liang seized the opportunity to hide his presence and quietly sneak into the Music Pavilion.

Looking around, he wanted to find someone in the pavilion and have a casual chat.

Although the Music Pavilion seemed small on the outside, the interior was vast with complete landscapes. He was planning to cross this garden and head to the area where the apprentices resided.

Suddenly someone called from behind: "Warrior Chu?"

"Who?" Chu Liang abruptly turned around and saw Ji Lingyu, only then he was relieved.

No wonder she recognized him immediately, Ji Lingyu had an extremely keen sense of aura.

"Miss Ji, how did you get in?" asked Chu Liang.

"I had Tang Shi distract attention outside, then I snuck in," said Ji Lingyu.

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang laughed.

Indeed, human wisdom is universally applicable.

And so is human strength.

"Then let’s move forward together without revealing ourselves. Finding Li Feiyu is our top priority," said Chu Liang.

"All right." Ji Lingyu softly agreed.

At this time, they could only collaborate regardless of friends or enemies.

Since she was also a wise person, she could hear Chu Liang’s unspoken meaning... If there’s more competition, as long as Chu Liang shouts, everyone will lose out.

They advanced together while hiding their presence, passing through a garden to a large wooden house. Both of them cautiously peeked through the window to find what seemed to be a hot spring pool with flower petals floating on the water and human shadows under it.

Although the water surface was obscuring the figure and the aura, from the flower petals...

It seemed like a woman was bathing?

Ji Lingyu immediately glared at Chu Liang: "Don’t look!"

Chu Liang immediately turned his back.

Ji Lingyu nodded in satisfaction, "You indeed are a gentleman."

"Not only am I a gentleman, but I also advise you to turn around..." said Chu Liang weakly.

"I am a woman too; there is no issue seeing..." Ji Lingyu replied, and turned her head to take another look.

Upon looking, she suddenly shivered.

Behind them stood a woman in a long purple robe holding a zither, her eyes coldly staring at them.

If it’s not the Music Pavilion Protectors who struck earlier, then who else?

The power of the Peak Sixth Realm is indeed formidable; Yun Chaoxian and Tang Shi, both core disciples of the Heavenly Gang Sect, couldn’t even delay for a moment.

Ji Lingyu waved her hand and said with a smile: "If we happened to pass by accidentally, could we leave?"

"Humph!"

The protector snorted coldly, violently plucking the zither strings, hoom ——

The zither sound was like a sword, indestructible!

Chu Liang and Ji Lingyu simultaneously dodged to both sides!

The zither sound naturally startled the woman in the pool. She quickly rose from the water, dressed quickly, all within the span of a breath.

A fragrant figure rushed out of the wooden house, asking anxiously: "Master Zhao, what happened?"

"Xiang’er, there is no need to panic. Two thieves just sneaked in," the protector said.

Her tone was much gentler when she spoke to this woman.

In the chaos, Chu Liang could only see the woman’s slim figure. Her face was obscured by her wet hair, but he could faintly see that she was remarkably beautiful, emanating an allure akin to a lotus emerging from the water.

On the other hand, Ji Lingyu suddenly shouted: "It’s her!"
