Would You Leave If I Offered Enough?
"I am also a connoisseur of music, so I can naturally tell that this is the story of a little girl whose family was destroyed, but there should be a sequel."
Chu Feng finished speaking and took a sip of tea.
Thump!
Qin Qin was flustered when someone pointed out her secret. She unconsciously plucked a string, her eyes filled with wariness and confusion.
She carefully observed Chu Feng sitting not far away, thinking to herself: This young man clearly has no cultivation, so how can he see the scenes in the music?
Qin Qin decided to test the man in front of her further, and then said to the maid beside her, "Xiaolian, get Young Master Chu a new pot of wine."
"Yes."
After Xiaolian responded, she quickly brought out another pot of wine.
Chu Feng had just taken a sip of wine when the music started again.
He slowly closed his eyes, listening to the story told through the music.
Images gradually appeared in his mind, but this time the images were clearer, giving Chu Feng a sense of being there.
This is the Zither Dream Technique).
Chu Feng immediately thought of a spell from the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.
Without giving it much thought, he turned his gaze to the image.
The same night, the same sounds of fighting.
The only difference was that the location had changed to a sect, and one of the fighting parties was the same black-clad man we saw last time.
In the midst of the battlefield, a young girl covered in blood is being protected by a middle-aged woman as they try to fight their way out of the encirclement.
But two fists can't fight four hands, and the woman soon couldn't hold on any longer.
Before she died, she handed a teleportation talisman to the girl, instructing her to use it to escape.
The girl gritted her teeth and agreed, then used the talisman to escape.
Several days later, the girl returned to the sect, but it had been reduced to ruins.
Chu Feng saw the girl's face, which bore a resemblance to Qin Qin's, filled with endless resentment as she stood amidst the ruins.
The music stopped again, and the screen disappeared.
"Young master, would you like to hear more of this story?"
Qin Qin's voice rang out, and Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes.
He said with great interest, "Of course I want to hear it. I'm getting more and more curious about what secrets you have that have allowed you to survive two massacres."
"Young master, as you listen to this last song, I must warn you: listening to it will surely bring about your death."
Qin Qin's tone carried a hint of warning, her eyes beneath the blindfold were fixed on the other person, and she would take action if the other person made any unusual move.
Chu Feng said nonchalantly, "Does anyone think they could kill me here at the Dao-Seeking Academy?"
"So, young master is a disciple of the Dao-Seeking Academy. No wonder..."
Qin Qin's words were ambiguous, it was unclear whether she was referring to Chu Feng daring to continue listening, or to his previous daring to oppose Young Master Ling.
Thump, thump, thump...
As the music began, Chu Feng saw another scene.
A dozen or so men in black were seen chasing and killing a woman.
The woman in question was none other than Qin Qin.
"Why, why, no matter where I go, you will never let me go?"
At this moment, Qin Qin was like a ferocious beast on the verge of rampage.
However, the guys opposite her didn't take Qin Qin seriously at all.
"Because you possess something that someone as lowly as you should not have."
Qin Qin was visibly taken aback upon hearing this. She seemed not to have expected that the misfortunes she had encountered actually stemmed from herself.
What do you want?
A man in black sneered, "Since you're going to die anyway, I'll tell you what we want: your eyes."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qin's face showed surprise, and she slowly removed her blindfold.
A pair of extremely alluring Double Pupils appeared in Chu Feng's eyes.
Heterochromia by birth.
Chu Feng subconsciously murmured those four words, snapping himself out of his reverie while listening to the music.
Qin Qin's zither playing stopped abruptly, and she looked at Chu Feng with a surprised expression.
Her Zither Dream Technique had long been perfected, allowing cultivators with a higher cultivation level to immerse themselves in dreams.
However, the other party was able to wake up easily and remember everything in the dream, clearly indicating that their cultivation level was more than one major realm higher than his own.
In the face of such a master, all my pretense is pale and powerless.
"That's right, I was born with heterochromia, and from birth I was considered an omen of bad luck."
If it weren't for my parents' love, I would never have been able to grow up.
Unfortunately, all of that changed when I was twelve.
Chu Feng asked, "Then you joined a sect and learned the Zither Dream Technique there."
"That's right. Although I was born with heterochromia, I was born in a small place and no one could guide me in cultivation. Even after I joined a sect, I only learned some rudimentary techniques."
I obtained this Zither Dream Technique by chance during one of my training sessions.
Qin Qin said calmly.
Chu Feng then asked, "So, you've already activated your heterochromatic eyes?"
Qin Qin shook her head. "It doesn't count as activation. Apart from that time when I was surrounded and killed by men in black, I unintentionally used the power of my heterochromatic eyes once when I was on the verge of death."
But that battle also injured my heterochromatic eyes, rendering them unusable.
"I see."
After muttering something to himself, Chu Feng asked, "I heard from Xiaolü that you can leave Pavilion of Fragrant Beauties at any time, is that true?"
Qin Qin nodded slightly. "That's right, but I don't plan to leave Pavilion of Fragrant Beauties at the moment."
Chu Feng asked with a smile, "So you mean you'll leave Pavilion of Fragrant Beauties if you're offered enough?"
Qin Qin was somewhat taken aback. She had heard countless sweet words and attempts to lure her with money in the Pavilion of Fragrant Beauties.
But she had never met anyone as direct as this young master Chu before. "Judging from your tone, young master, you want to take me away?"
Tell me, what do you want?
Chu Feng swirled the wine glass in his hand.
He was somewhat interested in the little girl in front of him; she had heterochromia and had even accidentally used her ability once.
Of course, the most important thing is that this girl has great fortune.
Having survived the destruction of his Lineage and sect, he is still alive today.
He had only ever seen such good fortune in Han Paopao.
As for whether that force would destroy the Dao-Seeking Academy, he wasn't worried at all.
If that force dared to cause trouble at the Dao Dao-Seeking Academy, Qin Qin would have been taken away from Dao-Seeking City long ago.
There's absolutely no way she'll continue accumulating spirit stones here.
Without hesitation, Qin Qin said, "I want a spiritual medicine that can cure my heterochromia. If you can produce such a medicine, I'm willing to go with you."
"It's that simple?"
Chu Feng was slightly surprised. He had prepared a series of speeches for accepting a disciple, but the other party only wanted a spiritual herb.
Qin Qin said unhurriedly, "You should know that I was born with heterochromia. Ordinary spiritual medicines may not be able to heal my injuries. We might need to use sacred medicines."
However, judging from your cultivation level, you are at least an inner disciple, or even a true disciple, in the Dao-Seeking Academy. I can give you this opportunity.
"It's a pity, I'm not a disciple of the Dao-Seeking Academy."
Chu Feng then changed the subject, saying, "However, sacred medicines are really not a problem for me."
Having endured so many hardships, Qin Qin naturally wouldn't easily believe any man's words.
"Qin Qin is not the kind of naive woman; please, young master, prove your strength."
"Simple."
As Chu Feng spoke, he took out his identity token from his storage bag and placed it on the table.
"Does this prove my strength?"
