Although the middle-aged woman had been at the Waterfront Chamber for many years, she had never seen a woman as stunning as Yi Yi.

 

However, even though the young woman seemed meek, she was fairly defiant.

 

The day she was sold to the brothel, she wounded her face and refused to receive treatment.

 

No sold woman could protect her modesty in a brothel like the Waterfront Chamber. Even female disciples from the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, who were there to get some training, would fall from grace.

 

The middle-aged woman was displeased with what Yi Yi had done at that time. It was because she had spent a lot of money to purchase the young woman, so she hoped that the latter would help her recoup the cost.

 

Fortunately, she was skilful in playing the zither. Since she was a performer, she did not have to show her face. Her skills in playing the zither could attract a lot of guests.

 

That was why the middle-aged woman never forced her to heal the wound on her face. She had no idea why the young woman was sold to a brothel.

 

Nevertheless, since Yi Yi was now part of the Waterfront Chamber, she had to accept her fate sooner or later. It was pointless for her to resist it. No one in this place could avoid falling from grace.

 

After the middle-aged woman left with the other performers, the private room fell silent.

 

The woman named Yi Yi still hung her head low while holding the zither. She went to the other side of the partition and sat down cross-legged before adjusting the strings.

 

Although Chu Xiao could not see her face, her alluring eyes showed that the face behind the veil must be stunning.

 

He was in a good mood, feeling that this would be a wonderful night.

 

Soon enough, the melodious sounds coming from the zither were continuously heard.

 

Some symbols seemed to be hovering in the void, which was a splendid sight.

 

Through the partition, Chu Xiao could see the slender woman playing the zither with her bony fingers as she was shrouded in mist.

 

Her fair hands seemed to have a mysterious power that could play the most melodious music in the world.

 

At that moment, the sounds of the zither were heard coming from this private room. Many guests were amazed and mesmerised.

 

Upon seeing that, Chu Xiao was pleasantly surprised. He could hardly conceal the fervour behind his gaze.

 

,,,

 

Meanwhile, a towering figure in a purplish-gold cloak suddenly traversed across the universe and landed on a famous peak in Southbarren Ancient Territory. His gaze was sharp, and his intimidating aura made the void tremble.

 

He was surrounded by wisps of Beastial Energy. It looked like he was shrouded in a purple mist, which was a splendid sight.

 

“Have I finally arrived in the Southbarren Ancient Territory?” The person was none other than the Seventh Crown Prince of the Beast Court, Di Kun, who had left Endless Beasts Territory upon receiving a directive.

 

He had no idea why the voice told him that he would achieve his goal by coming to Southbarren Ancient Territory.

 

However, rather than staying in Endless Beasts Territory and aimlessly dealing with the resistance of Land of Celestial Suffering, he decided to follow the directive and come to Southbarren Ancient Territory.

 

Nevertheless, considering how vast this place was, he had no idea what he was supposed to do upon his arrival. He did not have any aim at this moment.

 

“There must be a reason why the mysterious being informed me about this. Since he’s almighty, he would not lie to me, right?” With his sharp gaze, Di Kun scanned the different areas of this territory. Other than being ambitious, he was also capable and powerful.

 

After giving it some thought on this peak, he captured several cultivators and looked into their Souls. He took a look at their recent memories and found out about the recent happenings in Southbarren Ancient Territory.

 

“Thousand Treasures Secret Domain has shown up. Perhaps what the mysterious being has told me has something to do with that?” At the thought of this, Di Kun disappeared from the peak.

 

…

 

“Who’s playing the zither over there? She is just as skilful as Fairy Cai Yun.”

 

Meanwhile, in the 33rd floor of the Waterfront Chamber in Purple Return City, Zi Yunchuan, Zhao Tianfan, and the others were mesmerised by Fairy Cai Yun’s music when the sounds of the zither were continuously heard coming from somewhere else.

 

Sometimes the music was calm, but sometimes it was intense. It was as though they were listening to some heavenly music. Some crystal-like symbols even hovered in the void over there.

 

These people were surprised, not expecting that someone in the Waterfront Chamber could be as adept at playing the zither as Fairy Cai Yun.

 

“It seems that there are some hidden talented people in the Waterfront Chamber.” Ming Ying could not help but be amazed.

 

“Who’s playing the zither?” Fairy Cai Yun had intended to show her skills in playing the zither in front of Gu Changge to win his favour. Much to her surprise, the music suddenly coming from another place disrupted her rhythm, forcing her to stop.

 

She was displeased deep within, but she would never show her emotions on her face in front of so many people.

 

The private rooms of the Waterfront Chamber were soundproofed, but the sounds of the zither still reached them. It showed that the person playing the zither was indeed skilful as her music penetrated the Soundproofing Arrays.

 

Following the disruption, Fairy Cai Yun could only rise to her feet. If she kept playing the zither, she would pale in comparison. After all, it was the other person’s music that disrupted her.

 

[Why am I not aware that there’s such a musical talent in Waterfront Chamber?] Fairy Cai Yun was thinking about telling someone to find out who ruined her plan. Still, she kept a charming smile on her face while approaching Gu Changge.

 

“I hope you liked it, sir.” She sat down beside him.

 

Gu Changge nodded and said, “I’m honoured to listen to your melodious music.”

 

“Thanks for the compliment, sir. It’s my pleasure to perform for you.” Fairy Cai Yun put on a bright smile.

 

Following Fairy Cai Yun’s performance, Zi Yunchuan and the others became aware of her intention. Therefore, they avoided this topic when they chatted.

 

They would not want to see Fairy Cai Yun getting closer to Gu Changge, for it would be bad news for them.

 

Although the different Forces seemed to be getting along well, they were still competing with each other behind the scenes. It was the same for these young cultivators.

 

In their following talk, they coincidentally brought up their coming trip to Thousand Treasures Secret Domain. They hoped to acquire several pages of the wordless scripture.

 

Then, another person brought up the current situation in the Primary Hope Civilisation. They had been paying attention to the battle between Land of Celestial Suffering and the Beast Court. They wondered how long it would last.

 

Someone asked Gu Changge what he thought about this matter to find out the stance of the Force behind him.

 

Gu Changge only smiled in response and said that something major was going to happen in the Primary Hope Civilisation. There would no longer be peace. He also told them to protect themselves during this time of calamity—that if  they were not careful enough, they would die and their Souls would dissipate.
