Chapter 76: Brother Luo, Look At Who I Found
Luo Wusheng was somewhat familiar with the piece of music being played at the moment.
When he went to the Red Blossom Pavilion for the second time, Yao Ji played it for him.
Now, this piece of music echoed through the crowd, seemingly able to soothe their unease and gradually dissolve the previous tension.
(It can't be wrong Only she has the ability to achieve such an effect with the sound of a Qin)
But since she had refused before, why was she playing the Qin now?
Hmm If she really was the Empress Mortal other self, maybe she was very satisfied with his resolution of the demonic being incident? So she made an exception to play a piece for him and help him solve his problem?
However, based on what he saw now, it was already beyond what exceptional Qin skills could explain.
To make the Qin sound resonate so far and still make it impossible to find its source, this was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
Was she planning to expose that she is a cultivator?
Luo Wusheng pondered in his mind.
"What a beautiful Qin sound"
Behind him, Miss Sword Fairy listened attentively, a trace of astonishment on her face.
(Even those peak masters from other mountain peaks who practice both the Qin and the sword might not be able to play such a wonderful piece of music, right?)
The young girl subconsciously compared the Qin sound to the melodies she had heard before, but found that those tunes she had once thought were beautiful were far inferior to what she was hearing now.
Bai Xiaoyao on the other side had a similar expression, but she felt like she had forgotten something, so there was a hint of confusion between her eyebrows.
Just as the Qin music was about to stop, Luo Wusheng received a telepathic message in his mind.
["Young Master Long Dahai,' Yao Ji wishes to meet you. Could you move to the meeting place after calming the guests?"]
It was the voice of the maid Xiao Guai.
That little maid indeed had cultivation as well, but he wondered how they managed to conceal it.
He didn't pay attention to the strange tone in the telepathic message.
After confirming that his speculation was correct, as the Qin music came to a complete stop, Luo Wusheng took a deep breath.
"Cough I suppose all of you have calmed down by now?"
His voice resonated with the little remaining spiritual power, drawing the attention of the guests towards him.
At the same time, they also noticed that their hearts had indeed calmed down quite a bit, and they all showed surprise on their faces, some even marveling at the fact that the Demon Artifact Pavillion unexpectedly had such preparations.
However, it seemed that none of them associated it with the courtesan from the Red Blossom Pavilion. Perhaps no one would link a seductive courtesan with a master capable of transmitting the sound of a Qin for ten miles?
Luo Wusheng, lost in thought, continued, "Now that everyone seems to be at ease, I won't disturb you any longer in selecting your weapons at the Demon Artifact Pavilion. I shall take my leave."
He didn't elaborate on the reasons for his departure.
The surrounding crowd, seemingly more clear-headed after listening to the Qin music, quickly reacted to Luo Wusheng's words and bid their farewells with clasped fists.
To be honest, they felt quite pressured being around the current Young Master of the Demon Sect.
"Safe travels, Lord Luo."
Nodding slightly in response to the crowd's respectful greetings, Luo Wusheng started walking towards his residence in the royal city.
After all, the Demon Artifact Pavilion was not an appropriate place for receiving guests.
But just as he had taken a couple of steps, he stopped.
His gaze swept over his junior sister and Little Yuli, who were closely following behind him, and he fell into contemplation.
Should he bring these two girls along as well?
In the end, Luo Wusheng decided to bring both girls to the main hall of his residence.
Mainly because he couldn't surpass his junior sister's keen sixth sense.
When he had mentioned meeting the Qin player, his junior sister directly asked in response, "The one from the Red Blossom Pavilion?"
The Miss Sword Fairy, who seemed a bit absent-minded, also asked what the Red Blossom Pavilion was.
When Bai Xiaoyao mentioned the term "brothel," the young girl's eyes changed.
That look seemed to say, "I didn't expect someone like you, with your distinctive features, to visit such a place?"
Seeing his carefully crafted persona crumbling, Luo Wusheng immediately agreed to let the two little girls accompany him.
If necessary, he could show them the true Luo Wusheng, who had no interest in carnal pleasures.
Now, the three of them were already seated in the main hall of his residence, waiting for Yao Ji's arrival.
Luo Wusheng was genuinely curious about why the courtesan had changed her mind and what she wanted to discuss with him.
(If she wants to expose the Empress Mortal other self's identity to me it should be impossible. That is the Empress's biggest secret and cannot be revealed so easily.)
If there was something that couldn't be disclosed to others, should he ask his junior sister and Little Yuli to temporarily leave? What if the two little girls refused to comply?
Speaking of which, there was a craftsman in the Demon Artifact Pavilion who had made some kind of agreement with him before But considering the current situation at the Demon Artifact Pavilion, he probably wouldn't come, right?
Luo Wusheng was starting to drift off in his thoughts.
But he quickly snapped out of it.
Because the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
He turned his head to look.
Sure enough, a woman adorned in a light red veil, holding an ancient Qin in her arms, entered the hall with graceful steps. Behind her was a young maid, and both of them exuded an ethereal aura.
"Young master is truly extraordinary, even bringing two women to meet this concubine? Are you trying to show off something to me?"
There was a hint of displeasure between Yao Ji's eyebrows as she spoke.
Yao Ji couldn't reconcile the image she had of this young master with the person in front of her. He had even used a false name when visiting the Red Blossom Pavilion to listen to her music. How could he now bring other girls to meet her?
Luo Wusheng, who had already decided to let go of his emotions, seemed unable to understand the meaning behind her gaze. He didn't respond to her teasing and merely smiled, bowing to the courtesan.
"Thank you, Yao Ji, for your help today. But I must admit, I'm surprised that you had a change of heart and chose to play this piece for me."
Luo Wusheng's expression remained calm. "Didn't you refuse the invitation sent by Long Dahai' from my sect yesterday?"
Upon hearing his frank words, the maid behind Yao Ji couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Yao Ji, on the other hand, seemed to understand the situation and shook her head lightly without concern.
"This matter is indeed related to you, young master However, it involves some of my secrets. Could you please dismiss those around us?"
"No!"
"Not possible!"
The two little girls, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly stood up and objected simultaneously.
But then, their gazes shifted towards each other.
The situation became awkward for a moment.
(We've reached this point, huh)
Luo Wusheng sighed inwardly, but he looked at Miss Sword Fairy with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It was understandable that his junior sister cared about his image as her senior brother, but why was Little Yuli getting involved in this?
However, he didn't dare to ignite the fuse of the powder keg at a time like this.
Just then, there was a commotion at the door.
A loud voice came from outside.
"Brother Luo, guess who I've brought with me?"
It was Long Dahai's voice.
Seeing his good friend enter the residence with a young man dressed as a diviner, a faint smile appeared on Luo Wusheng's lips.
Fortunately, when Luo Wusheng learned that the two little girls would be coming along, he had already anticipated the possibility of the current situation and made preparations in advance. He had informed Long Dahai to quickly bring the person he was supposed to bring.
He had asked Long Dahai beforehand whether the person coming was a diviner and whether they were male or female.
It was a convenient way to defuse the tension in the hall.
