News of City Lord Manor's zither recital had long been known by the various large factions of Myriad City. Everyone knew that Fairy Youqin and Fairy Wuxia would appear at the zither recital.
Back in Paradise Chapter's Heavenly Treasures Arch, the two fairies had played the zither and engaged in an exciting duel. Those who were lucky enough to witness it relished it, but those who had not witnessed it found it regretful.
At today's zither recital, one could finally see the clash of two geniuses.
The various large factions that received invitations brought many youths with them. In fact, this was not only a zither recital between Fairy Youqin and Fairy Wuxia. It was also a gathering of young elites from the various large factions.
Yi Yun was a genius alchemist who had been in the limelight recently. He was also Fairy Wuxia's friend, so it was no surprise that he had been invited by City Lord Qin.
On the mirror-like lake in City Lord Manor, dozens of gigantic pleasure boats were anchored on the lake's surface. One of the largest pleasure boats even had a tall platform where City Lord Qin sat.
On one of the pleasure boats, there were more than ten zither players playing the zither. There were more than a hundred female dancers dancing on the lake's surface.
A gentle breeze blew as the lake shimmered. The scene was like a painting from the heavens.
This was the first time Ru'er was attending such a banquet. She followed behind Yi Yun as she looked around curiously.
Dong Xiaowan was also following behind Yi Yun. She had an elegant bearing to begin with, so her appearance immediately attracted the attention of many.
However, when people saw her, they immediately turned their gazes to Yi Yun, who was in front of her.
"That's Yi Yun."
"This Master Yi is indeed promising at a young age. However, it's because he's young that he's arrogant."
"He actually dares to come to today's zither recital. I heard that he has offended most of the large factions in Myriad City over the past few days. Today's zither recital will not be easy for him. "
Ru'er felt very uncomfortable hearing the discussions.
"Young Master …"
"It's fine." Yi Yun scanned the crowd. He naturally knew that with his status, if he did not join any faction in Myriad City, he would only be suppressed by the combined might of the various large factions. Even today's zither recital was not friendly to him.
In just a short while, Yi Yun saw a few familiar faces.
"Young Master Yi, we meet again." The person who spoke was Zhou Baifeng. Beside him was Zhang Zhiyuan.
Both of them had been humiliated by Yi Yun previously. Now that they met again, Zhou Baifeng was still fine, but Zhang Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with undisguised coldness and even killing intent.
Zhang Zhiyuan touched the hilt of his sword without batting an eyelid. He obviously could not draw his sword in City Lord Manor. However, it was also a form of demonstration. "Yi Yun, I do want to meet you. I want you to know that although alchemists enjoy esteemed statuses in Myriad City, the true faction that rules over Myriad City is completely based on strength."
Zhang Zhiyuan said lightly. With the Zhou family backing him, he did not mind offending Yi Yun.
Zhou Baifeng only smiled at Zhang Zhiyuan's provocation and did not stop him. At this moment, a pleasant female voice rang out.
"You must be Young Master Yi. This is the first time Ziyu is meeting Young Master Yi. The last time I went to Yun Xin Loft, I happened to bump into Young Master Yi in seclusion."
A purple-dressed girl walked over leisurely. She was none other than Fairy Purple Rain from the Guiyuan family.
The moment Fairy Purple Rain appeared, even Dong Xiaowan paled in comparison. In fact, when a girl's beauty reached the pinnacle, it was difficult to determine who was superior. At this moment, the only thing that mattered was one's bearing. Fairy Purple Rain's bearing was truly like the misty purple rain that came with a cool breeze.
"Fairy Purple Rain, I'm really sorry. I was in seclusion for too long. It's my honor to be able to meet Fairy Purple Rain after coming out of seclusion."
Yi Yun smiled as he cupped his fists. Although Yi Yun had ignored the Guiyuan family's solicitation, as long as they were polite, Yi Yun would not take the initiative to offend them by saying impertinent words.
"Fairy Purple Rain, I'll excuse myself for a moment. I still have to greet City Lord Qin before coming to the zither recital."
As Yi Yun spoke, he passed through the hall and flew to the cruise liner in the middle.
"City Lord Qin." Yi Yun greeted City Lord Qin with a bow.
He looked at Princess White Fox who was beside City Lord Qin. "Fairy Wuxia."
Princess White Fox hugged her zither as she smiled at Yi Yun and nodded gently.
"Haha, Yi Yun, you came so late. Come, come, come. Have a cup as punishment." City Lord Qin said with a hearty laugh.
At that moment, everyone noticed Yi Yun. They never expected that Yi Yun would dare to be so high-profile in a place like this.
"This punk is fearless because he is in City Lord Manor." Zhang Zhiyuan was extremely displeased as he watched Yi Yun fly towards the cruise liner.
He could only enter the banquet by following Young Master Baifeng, but he did not have the right to greet City Lord Qin. As for the graceful figure beside City Lord Qin, he could not approach her at all.
Yi Yun cupped his fists and smiled as he drank a cup of alcohol. Just as he was about to say something, City Lord Qin suddenly frowned slightly.
"Oh? The people from the Myriad Immortal Pavilion are here as well … "
As City Lord Qin spoke, a group of people walked out from the main entrance of the hall.
The person leading them was none other than Zuoqiu Bo.
And beside Zuoqiu Bo was a man who looked like a youth. He was dressed in white and his black hair was disheveled. He carried a sword on his back.
The group of people flew up and landed on a cruise liner in a carefree manner. They sat down immediately. The long-haired young man raised a cup of alcohol from the table and toasted City Lord Qin from afar. "City Lord Qin, I'm Si Yusheng. Here's to you."
Si Yusheng?
Yi Yun did not recognize the person. Dong Xiaowan whispered into Yi Yun's ear, "Young Master, Si Yusheng is the successor to the Myriad Immortal Pavilion's Pavilion Lord. The biggest family clan in the Myriad Immortal Pavilion is the Si family. And the Zuoqiu family clan was originally a mercenary of the Si family. Later on, the Si family produced a peerless figure that slowly prospered and established the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. Every Pavilion Lord was a direct descendant of the Si family. The Zuoqiu family clan slowly became the second largest family clan in the Myriad Immortal Pavilion.
Yi Yun nodded. Just from the way Zuoqiu Bo treated the white-dressed man, he could tell that it was different from how he treated Zuoqiu Haoyu. Zuoqiu Haoyu was only a young master of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. As for the white-dressed man, he was the successor to the Myriad Immortal Pavilion's Pavilion Lord.
"The person beside City Lord Qin is Yi Yun, the one who sliced off Zuoqiu Haoyu's arms. His alchemical skills are extremely impressive." Zuoqiu Bo transmitted his voice into Si Yusheng's ear.
"So it's him. Haoyu grew up with me from a young age. We are like brothers. Haoyu's problems are my problems. Besides, this Yi Yun is using Qin Zhengyang's support to go against my Myriad Immortal Pavilion. If we were to let this matter rest, wouldn't our Myriad Immortal Pavilion be bullied by anyone? People might even think that we are afraid of Qin Zhengyang. "
"Look at these people. They are waiting for our reaction. I know that other than the Zhou family, the Guiyuan family's Fairy Purple Rain was also rejected by Yi Yun, "said Si Yusheng coldly.
Although City Lord Qin raised his cup in response to Si Yusheng's toast, he did not drink it immediately. All he did was look at Si Yusheng and say leisurely, "Young Master Si, I'm very happy that you came to visit me. However, I seem to recall that I did not give you an invitation?"
As City Lord Qin wanted to invite Yi Yun to the zither recital, he did not send the invitation to the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. It was to prevent any awkwardness between the two parties.
However, Si Yusheng had come uninvited. This made City Lord Qin feel that there was tension.
"Haha, City Lord Qin, it's true that you did not give me an invitation. In fact, yesterday at Myriad Immortal Palace, I met your esteemed residence's Young Master Wufeng. It was Young Master Wufeng who invited me."
Oh?
Upon hearing Si Yusheng's words, City Lord Qin frowned slightly. Qin Wufeng was his youngest son, but he was also a good-for-nothing son.
As for Myriad Immortal Palace, it was a place of extravagance and pleasure established by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. It was similar to Heavenly Treasures Arch, but as Myriad Immortal Palace was established outside Myriad City, it was not restricted by Myriad City's rules. This allowed warriors to indulge in their pleasures in Myriad Immortal Palace. Promiscuous sex, abuse of female slaves, gambling, and using hallucinogenic drugs … As long as there were runes, one could completely release the dark side of one's heart.
How could Qin Zhengyang be happy that his youngest son had gone to Myriad Immortal Palace?
At that moment, Si Yusheng's figure had already transformed into a blur. He appeared on City Lord Qin's cruise ship and stood behind Yi Yun.
Upon seeing Si Yusheng appear, the corners of Young Master Baifeng's mouth curled up slightly. He looked like he was watching a good show.
"There will probably be a good show to watch."
It was not only Young Master Baifeng. The young elites from the various factions that had been rejected by Yi Yun revealed looks of schadenfreude when they saw Si Yusheng and Yi Yun appear on the same cruise ship.
Si Yusheng was different from Zuoqiu Haoyu. He seldom interfered in matters of befriending others, but he was extremely famous. He relied on his terrifying cultivation speed and astounding martial talent, as well as his identity as the heir to the Myriad Immortal Pavilion!
Si Yusheng was a very high-profile person. He was even somewhat domineering. Anyone who offended him would pay a terrible price.
No one doubted that if they were not in Myriad City, Si Yusheng would immediately kill Yi Yun.
Of course, this was City Lord Manor after all. In front of City Lord Qin, Si Yusheng probably could not do anything to Yi Yun.
Upon seeing Si Yusheng arrive on the cruise ship, City Lord Qin frowned slightly. Si Yusheng had come with ill intentions.
Yi Yun turned around. He knew that the person was here for him.
However, he did not know what he could do in such an occasion.
"You are Yi Yun, right?" Si Yusheng looked at Yi Yun as the corners of his mouth suffused a sneer. "Back then, you cleaved off Zuoqiu Haoyu's hands and disgraced my Myriad Immortal Pavilion. I should settle this score with you."
"How do you want to settle it?" Yi Yun pricked up his brows. Was he going to attack in front of City Lord Qin?
"In fact, according to my usual habits, I would directly capture people who offend the Myriad Immortal Pavilion like you and throw them into my Myriad Immortal Pavilion's dungeons to be tortured to death."
When Si Yusheng said that, he changed the topic and continued, "However … I, Si Yusheng, admire capable people. Young Master Yi, your talent is admirable. Besides, City Lord Qin is here today. On account of City Lord Qin, I have a solution that satisfies both sides."
