An Hour to Uncover Qin Wangchuan's Entire Background

"Just as I thought."

Qin Wangchuan lightly plucked the strings, a knowing glint in his eyes. "<Nine Heavens Prelude> is actually the predecessor of <Nine Heavens Phoenix-Leading Melody>, or rather, its unfinished prototype."

"Interesting."

"I never imagined that the Nine Heavens Zither Emperor Sutra I cultivated back then would have any karmic connection here."

"Brother... you can play the piano?" Su Yingxue's almond-shaped eyes widened, sparkling with tiny starlight, as if she had discovered some incredible secret.

Qin Wangchuan replied without stopping his fingers, "I know a little bit."

"But..." Su Yingxue's ears turned red, and her voice grew softer, "I feel you play it even better... even Mystic Sound Fairy..."

She didn't dare to continue, but her bright eyes clearly said: Brother is amazing! Even more amazing than a fairy!

Qin Wangchuan suddenly found it amusing and deliberately teased her, "What? You think I shouldn't know these things?"

"No!" Su Yingxue shook her head anxiously, the hairpins in her hair jingling. "It's... it's..."

She never expected her brother to be so... so... The girl racked her brains but couldn't find the right words to describe it.

In the end, she could only blush and mutter softly, "Anyway... my brother is so amazing!"

Ye Jianwei, standing behind the two, pursed her thin lips, a hint of pride appearing at the corner of her mouth.

She knew better than anyone that her Young Master's musical skills had already transcended the ordinary.

Whenever he plays the zither, even the most unruly crane in the courtyard will fold its wings and stand still.

This place alone is far beyond my reach, let alone the so-called Mystic Sound Fairy —she probably can't even decipher a single note that the Young Master casually plucks.

Just then, a Divine Sense transmission suddenly rang in Qin Wangchuan's ears:

"Young Master, the target has just entered the Mystic Sound Pavilion."

His fingertips paused slightly as he played the zither, but the Zither Music did not stop; only a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"It's finally here..." Qin Wangchuan said softly, his fingertips lightly brushing the strings, the lingering sound gradually fading away.

He rose gracefully and instructed the two people beside him, "Please wait here for a moment. I'm going to meet an... old friend."

That person was Xu Qing.

Although the Imperial Capital densely populated, a quick scan with Divine Sense immediately located the boy whose cultivation had been completely destroyed.

I didn't go looking for him because I figured since I was already there, I might as well listen to a song, but the result was...

Generally.

Outside the Elegant Pavilion.

The Mystic Sound Fairy gently plucked the strings of her zither, and the man not only followed her rhythm but also subtly echoed her!

The two responded to each other, supported each other, and encouraged each other. This was not something they did intentionally—it was a tacit understanding!

It's a tacit understanding that only kindred spirits can comprehend!

But this tacit understanding didn't last long, because after Mystic Sound Fairy finished playing, the other person was still playing.

The Zither Music grew faster and more profound, playing pieces she had never heard before.

Mystic Sound Fairy froze abruptly, staring blankly at the unfamiliar yet familiar melody.

This was clearly the "Nine Heavens Prelude," yet it was far more profound than she knew—every variation subtly aligned with the Heavenly Dao, and every note pointed directly to the Origin Source.

In the void, the phantom of the golden phoenix continuously condensed, one, two... In the blink of an eye, nine golden phoenixes were circling on the top of the pavilion, each exuding a different Dao Rhyme. These were far more solid and more... perfect than the one she had just summoned.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious Phoenix Cry came from the distant sky.

Mystic Sound Fairy suddenly looked up and saw a dazzling golden light streak across the sky through the eaves—it was a real Primordial Golden Phoenix, spreading its wings that Covering the Sky and Sun and flying towards the Mystic Sound Pavilion!

The glazed tiles on the roof trembled under the phoenix's might.

This is the true Phoenix-Attracting Melody! Even the legendary Primordial Phoenix was drawn by this Zither Music, breaking through its boundaries to come here!

A single tear silently slid down the cheek from the Mystic Sound Fairy's eye.

She had been searching for the complete version for hundreds of years, and now she finally heard it.

Without a doubt, this person was the soulmate she had been searching for!

"Zheng--"

The Zither Music stopped abruptly.

"Why did it stop?!"

Mystic Sound Fairy instinctively stood up abruptly, her glass-like eyes filled with astonishment.

Why did it suddenly stop?

It was so exciting, it was almost at the most crucial part...

This is far more painful than simply stopping.

The door to the elegant room opened, and a young man in a long black robe with Golden Patterns stepped out. Dark gold Dragon Pattern flowed along the hem of his robe, each gold thread so lifelike and captivating that one dared not look directly at it.

His features were exquisite, his demeanor aloof, his robes fluttering, and a radiant glow seemed to emanate from him, making him appear like Exiled Immortal descending to earth.

'Was it him? Was he the one who was playing the piano just now?'

Mystic Sound Fairy stared intently at the young man, desperately hoping he would turn around and look at her. Then, the two nodded in tacit agreement.

But no.

For the first time Mystic Sound Fairy, who was always confident in her appearance, was disappointed.

The boy didn't even glance at him out of the corner of his eye, and left without looking back, disappearing at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

'It wasn't him...'

Just as Mystic Sound Fairy was feeling disappointed, the Zither Music again in the elegant pavilion.

Mystic Sound Fairy pricked up her ears and listened intently.

It was still the same complete <Nine Heavens Prelude>, exactly as it was, and it could still summon the phantom of the golden phoenix, but for some reason...

I feel like something's missing.

Looking up, there was no one else in the private room except for the two women.

"It's not that either, so then..."

As she spoke, she stared blankly in the direction the boy had left, her fingertips unconsciously touching her heart.

Something there is throbbing violently.

"It's him."

Having said that, Mystic Sound Fairy quickly walked in the direction the young man had left.

Fan Zi's knuckles turned white, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes—he had long regarded Mystic Sound Fairy as his own possession, and had dismissed countless presumptuous suitors over the past year.

But at this moment, those beautiful eyes that were always cold and aloof towards him actually followed the back of the black-robed youth, revealing a flutter of emotion that had never been seen before.

"This brat from who-knows-where..." he gritted his teeth, his voice barely audible, "Does he even dare to lay a finger on the Young Master I've set my sights on?"

"Investigate!"

He suddenly shouted, startling the servants behind him who trembled.

"Within one hour—" Fan Zi stared at the trembling servant, each word dripping with chilling intent, "Young Master want that man's entire background, including his ancestors for three generations!"
