Chapter 591: Chapter 64 He Just Finds It Noisy [Seeking Monthly Pass!]_1

When Chu Liang arrived at the Nanyin Square residence, he found it deserted. He was about to leave when he saw a figure emerge silently from the shadows. It was Shen Qingyan.

Her face was cautious, but once she recognized him she relaxed.

"Miss Shen, what’s going on?" Chu Liang asked curiously, "Why are you the only one here?"

"The members of Nanyin Square seldom participate in the Imperial City battle, so they have all gone out to celebrate," Shen Qingyan explained.

She invited Chu Liang to sit down and they began to converse.

"Why didn’t you join them, Miss Shen?" Chu Liang said, then asked, "You seemed on edge just now, what are you guarding against?"

"Sigh." Shen Qingyan sighed lightly.

After a pause, she said, "I suppose there’s no harm in telling you, especially since it’s you who informed me of my origins."

Chu Liang then learned that after her unexpected discovery of the Shen jade talisman last time, she had been filled with doubt and later sought advice from her mentor.

Only then did the Nanyin Square Master reveal the truth: Shen Qingyan was indeed a descendant of the Shen family.

The Shen family’s ancestors were high officials in the previous dynasty. During the final days of the dynasty’s overthrow, they had made provision for the future. Among these assets was a treasure compiled from valuable pieces from the national treasury, intended to be used for the reestablishment of the dynasty.

Knowing that they would be pursued, the Prime Minister of the fallen dynasty entrusted the treasure to an ancestor of the Shen family. Only he knew the location of the treasure and how to access it.

The Shen family later settled in Shaonan Town, keeping their true identity hidden for hundreds of years, their knowledge of the treasure long forgotten by others.

Everything changed when incidents occurred that resulted in the Shen family’s secrets being reported to the Imperial Court.

The Regent Residence’s members had not come to take the treasure vase containing the Wish Spirit, but to investigate the old hidden treasure. Eventually, the Shen family was wiped out, and the Nanyin Square Master took in the surviving baby.

If not for the former dynasty’s involvement, why else would an incident in such a small town have drawn the attention of the Regent Leader?

The Nanyin Square Master made an agreement with the Regent Residence to keep the child’s identity a secret, treating her as an innocent infant, which effectively buried the Shen family’s past under the dust of time.

No one could have predicted that in a mere decade, the seal would be broken, stirring up the stories of the past once again.

Of course, Shen Qingyan knew nothing of the Shen family legacy or the treasure of the former dynasty. However, her identity could unintentionally attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. It was for her protection that the Nanyin Square Master had kept her identity a secret.

Now, however, Shen Qingyan was certain that more people knew about her lineage - people aside from the Nanyin Square Master and those in the Regent Residence.

"The man who suddenly appeared and stole the jade pendant last time, his cultivation level was well beyond ours, yet he kept retreating without resisting. I suspect that he has been watching me all along," Shen Qingyan said.

Chu Liang agreed with her hypothesis.

The black-clothed man’s true cultivation level was definitely in the Sixth Realm and quite likely at its peak. Had he retaliated, he wouldn’t have been injured by Shen Qingyan. Yet, he chose to evade continuously, even while being attacked.

It was indeed puzzling.

Assuming the only thing he wanted was the jade pendant, it wouldn’t have made sense because the night he met Shen Qingyan was a chance encounter. There was no way anyone could have predicted that he would give the jade pendant to Shen Qingyan then.

It was merely a coincidence.

So what was all that about?

There was something inexplicably odd about the situation.

Considering Shen Qingyan’s identity, Chu Liang began to wonder if perhaps someone knew about her lineage all along. Had they been watching her in hopes of finding clues related to the old treasure?

But if they knew about her, they would know she was unaware of her origins.

Overall, the matter remained mystifying.

"For a long time, I’ve had a nagging feeling that I’m being watched whenever I leave the house," Shen Qingyan frowned, "but I’ve never found any evidence of it."

"After that person snatched the jade pendant last time, I was able to ascertain that it was him who has been following me."

Indeed, it wouldn’t feel great to be tracked and surveilled by such a hidden expert.

Luckily, Shen Qingyan was not a weak woman without a background. Her cultivation was not weak, and behind her, she had her Sect and her Sect Leader. Not only the experts within Nanyin Square, but there were also countless cultivators willing to lend a helping hand at the call of Nanyin Square.

Nobody would dare to do anything to her.

"I have a thought." Chu Liang pondered: "Previously, the only people who knew about your origin were your Sect Leader and Regent Residence. Neither of them had a reason to follow you. If there was a third party, it would be the person who denounced the Shen family to Regent Residence. This person must know about the Shen family and your background, and he must still be alive..."

"Ah." A flash of brilliance flickered in Shen Qingyan’s eyes, and she instantly said, "That’s true! If that person is still alive, he would naturally know everything... but who is he..."

"You could check the records in the Regent Residence." Chu Liang suggested.

Given his relationship with the Regent Residence, it would be convenient for him to make inquiries. Still, since this was somebody else’s matter, it would not seem right to dig too deeply.

His main purpose for this visit was to seek help from Nanyin Square.

After hearing Chu Liang analyze, Shen Qingyan asked: "Young Hero Chu, what would you like from us?"

Then Chu Liang got to the point: "I wish for someone to assist in our cultivation."

...

When Chu Liang returned with four maidens from Nanyin Square, the people of Shu Mountain were somewhat surprised.

They originally thought he might have asked Xue Lingxue to play "Surging Wave Assistance Song" once more. Instead, he brought back a band from Nanyin Square. Even their touring group couldn’t gather such a lineup.

Chu Liang didn’t plan to be this extravagant; he just wanted Miss Xue to play a song.

However, once he explained his intentions, Shen Qingyan immediately agreed, not only volunteered Miss Xue, but she also offered to join.

The moment the several ladies returned in celebration and heard Chu Liang was in need, they plunged into enthusiasm.

Not only Xue Lingxue, but Yu Xiang’er also knew him well and naturally agreed.

Iron hammer, although unfamiliar, had fought side by side in the Void Realm. She immediately beat her chest in agreement, "Chu’s warrior has a problem, I will certainly be the first to step up!"

Regardless of their previous relationships, nobody would help a rival in the eve of the Battle of the Imperial City unless that rival was essential for their promotion.

After reexamining the situation in the latter stages of the Hundred Doors Battle, without Shen Qingyan joining Chu Liang’s alliance, Nanyin square wouldn’t have a chance for advancement. So they naturally showed them no animosity.

The ladies promptly musical formation and played the gallant "Surging Wave Assistance Song".

Wang Xuanling waved his sleeve and set up a prohibition to prevent noise and light from escaping, avoiding any interference from other Immortal sects.

Chu Liang, Jiang Yuebai, and Xu Ziyang sat on the ground in the backyard, running their cultivation at full strength. They felt their Qi Sea swelling far more than before, boiling as soon as it started to circulate.

Boom——

The combined performance of the four ladies’ Surging Wave Assistance Song was far more effective than Xue Lingxue’s solo performance, pushing everyone’s Qi cycle to its peak in a moment.

Ling Ao sat on the threshold of the main hall, vigilantly watching out for any intruders. Since he hadn’t entered the Perfect Cycle before, his path as a body cultivator didn’t benefit from it. So all he could do now was to play the role of a security guard, preventing outsiders from interrupting the cultivation.

The joys and sorrows of others are not shared.

He just found it noisy.
