Chapter 1293 Liang Xiaosheng

"Thank you, Lady Li. That's all of the questions I have for now." Yuan said to Li Luoyang sometime later.

"You're leaving already? Why don't you stay here a little longer to chat? This is my first time encountering someone taught by the Zither Goddess other than myself." Li Luoyang looked a little sad after realizing that he was about to leave.

"I have other businesses to attend to, so I cannot stay for too long."

"One more song! You can leave after playing one more song!" Li Luoyang raised a single finger on her hand and shoved it at his face.

Yuan nodded with a smile and agreed, "Okay, I will play one last song." After taking a moment to ponder what song he wanted to play, Yuan began moving his fingers on the zither.

'This is—!'

Li Luoyang's eyes widened with excitement when Yuan started playing 'The Old Dream'. Now that she knew he had been taught by the Zither Goddess, she wasn't surprised that he could play the song.

Of course, Yuan didn't learn the song from the Zither Goddess, nor did he recall it in Tian Kai's memories. After listening to it once, he'd completely ingrained it within his memories. As for how he managed to figure out Li Luoyang's mistakes during her performance, it was purely because of his own expertise and instincts. Li Luoyang's performance didn't sound 'wrong' to him, but in his mind, it would sound better with his changes. Li Luoyang agreed with such changes, hence why she wasn't upset when he corrected her.

At the end of the song, Li Luoyang muttered in a dazed voice, "It sounds even better than I remember…"

"Thank you," Yuan said with a smile on his face as he stowed away the zither.

"Then I'll be leaving now."

"Will you visit this place again?" Li Luoyang then asked.

"Honestly? Probably not, since I came here with a purpose." Yuan did not lie to her.

"Is that so… That's unfortunate. However, if you ever feel like it or happen to be nearby, please visit us. I'd like to listen to your music again."

"Of course."

"Oh! One more thing! I never got your name."

"It's Yuan, and do you mind if I leave through your window? I don't want to deal with the crowd outside."

"Sure thing." Li Luoyang chuckled.

After leaving through the window, Yuan did not wander too far away from the building, and he began to ponder what he should do with Liang Xiaosheng and his Ancient Seal.

Fortunately, he had been keeping track of Liang Xiaosheng's location through divine sense this entire time, so he didn't need to wait for him to return to the Tunes of Heavens' Establishment. However, there was a bigger problem.

'How should I approach him without making him want to punch me at a glance?' After what had transpired with Li Luoyang, he was certain that Liang Xiaosheng had been offended and felt humiliated by the rescheduling, so he couldn't just approach Liang Xiaosheng as nothing had happened.

After pondering for some time, Yuan eventually came up with a somewhat risky plan.

'It may be risky, but if everything goes right, I won't need to fight him for the Ancient Seal.'

Yuan disappeared from the streets to prepare for his meeting with Liang Xiaosheng.

Meanwhile, Liang Xiaosheng was drowning himself in alcohol at a nearby restaurant as he waited for his appointment with Li Luoyang.

"That goddamn bastard! Which rat hole did he crawl from?! How dare he humiliate me in front of everyone and force Lady Li to choose between us?! I'll skin him alive the next time I see him!" Liang Xiaosheng slammed his cup on the table, causing the entire restaurant to tremble.

However, despite the disturbance he was causing, nobody approached him, as he was a well-known individual within the city, so everyone knew his identity.

After consuming alcohol nonstop for several hours, Liang Xiaosheng paid the bill and left the restaurant, feeling a bit drunk.

The moment he stepped outside the restaurant, he sensed an unfamiliar yet overwhelming aura coming from outside the city.

When he sensed his aura, his eyes widened with shock, and the slightly drunk expression on his face became completely serious.

'What a powerful presence! And this aura… it can't be!'

In order to confirm his doubts, Liang Xiaosheng immediately flew towards the aura's direction.

Sometime later, Liang Xiaosheng halted his movements when he saw a figure hovering above the trees in the distance.

This figure was draped in a full-length black robe with long, flowing golden hair cascading down the back, and their face was concealed behind an ordinary-looking mask. It was evident to even the most oblivious observer that the individual before them was far from ordinary.

Liang Xiaosheng's body trembled when he noticed the details on his clothing.

'That appearance! That aura! The Golden Dragon Robe?! What is something like that doing down here?! What is a Dragon Emperor in the Third Heavens?!'

Unsurprisingly, Liang Xiaosheng came to such a conclusion. He hailed from a prominent dragon clan where such information is common knowledge.

'I was told that some people from the upper heavens would be showing up in the lower heavens, but I wasn't expecting to meet any Dragon Emperors!' he cried inwardly.

Shortly after Liang Xiaosheng's arrival, Yuan slowly turned around to glare at him with a serious atmosphere around him.

"Who the hell are you?" Yuan asked in a cold voice, pretending not to know him.

Liang Xiaosheng subconsciously lowered his head in submission and responded in a respectful voice, "This lowly one is from the Azure Dragon Family, and my name is Liang Xiaosheng."

"One of the Four Ancient Families, huh? And what does the Azure Dragon Family want from me?" Yuan suddenly activated Dragon's Gaze to scare Liang Xiaosheng a little more and to erase any doubt Liang Xiaosheng had of his identity.

'Dragon's Gaze?!' Liang Xiaosheng nearly crapped his pants when confronted by its terrifying pressure.

"The Azure Dragon Family has nothing to do with this! I was coincidentally in a nearby city when I sensed your impressive aura, so I decided to check it out! I'm sorry if I had disturbed you!" Liang Xiaosheng shouted in a terrified voice.

Seeing Liang Xiaosheng's reaction, Yuan deactivated Dragon's Gaze and retrieved his aura, allowing Liang Xiaosheng to breathe properly.
