Chapter 112: The Maiden Ye Lan!

  "Dà Liáng Guó?" Xiao Yun's face was expressionless, had he really left the country just like that? That demonic eagle had actually brought him to Dà Liáng Guó.

  "Xiao Gege, what's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Yun daze off, the girl quickly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xiao Yun's eyes.

  Coming back to his senses, Xiao Yun said, "Is this place far from the demon tribe?"

  "Huh?"

  The girl looked a bit strange, wondering why Xiao Yun would ask about the demon tribe, but still replied, "Crossing Tongtian Mountain and heading east for 800 miles is Longmen Pass. After passing Longmen Pass, outside the pass is the territory of the demon tribe. Brother Xiao, do you want to go outside the pass?"

  Xiao Yun shook his head, at least he wasn't taken out of the pass, and even if he fell from such a high place, he didn't die, so it seemed that he was still quite lucky.

  "Was it you who killed that strange eagle?" The girl asked again.

  Xiao Yun did not respond.

  Xiao Yun didn't respond, and the girl's expression turned a bit strange. She stared at Xiao Yun for a moment before asking tentatively, "Big Brother Xiao, when you were unconscious, you kept calling out 'Lin Niangzi'. Who is Lin Niangzi? Is she your lover?"

  The girl said this, and saw Xiao Yun's face stiffen, and immediately knew that she had touched on something Xiao Yun didn't want to mention!

  Xiao Yun smiled wryly and didn't want to discuss the matter. He took a deep breath and changed the subject, "By the way, I still don't know your name?"

  The girl also felt a bit dull and hurriedly smiled, "My name is Ye Lan! The 'ye' in leaves, the 'lan' in orchids, just call me Ah Lan."

  Laughter dissipated the depressing atmosphere, Xiao Yun nodded and wanted to get out of bed, but when she lifted the quilt, she was wearing only a pair of shorts, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

  "Ah, your clothes are all ruined!" Ye Lan's face turned red as she rummaged through the closet and pulled out a fur coat. "Wear this for now, and here's a storage pouch for you. You're badly injured and need to rest, don't go running around."

  The most important thing was the storage bag. Xiao Yun took it over and, in front of Ye Lan, didn't dare to check if there were fewer things inside.

  She looked up at Ye Lan, and Ye Lan knew that Xiao Yun was going to get dressed, so she quickly stood up and said to Xiao Yun, "The medicine is here, remember to drink it."

  Xiao Yun nodded and waited for Ye Lan to go out and close the door before picking up her clothes to examine them.

  The wound on his body had not healed yet, and every slight movement would pull the wound open, causing him to grit his teeth in pain. After studying it for a while, Xiao Yun finally figured out how to wear this fur coat.

  The leather jacket has a tiger skin exterior, but the inside is soft fabric. It fits well on my body and feels comfortable. I look at myself in the copper mirror on the table, and with a feather inserted into my hair, I become an indigenous primitive person.

  After checking that nothing was missing from the storage bag, Xiao Yun tied it to his waist and walked out with a swagger.

  ——

  Outside, a small courtyard.

  Ye Lan sat cross-legged in the courtyard, her hands clasped together like a lotus flower on her chest, with a faint white glow emanating from her palms. A small insect fluttered its wings and hovered above Ye Lan's palm, resembling a bee at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was slightly smaller than a bee.

  Ye Lan's hands gently rotated, pinching out various finger seals. The small insect emitted a white glow and flew around Ye Lan's body, causing Xiao Yun to be surprised that as the insect flew, the surrounding heavenly spiritual energy also fluctuated.

  That insect was actually absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its speed was not slow. Xiao Yun watched with a somewhat distracted expression.

  It seemed that he felt Xiao Yun coming out, Ye Lan hurriedly pinched a key, and the insect shook its wings and flew back to Ye Lan's palm. In the next moment, something even more astonishing happened, and the insect actually transformed into a white light, which directly entered Ye Lan's brow.

  "Huh, Big Brother Xiao, you're awake?" After a brief pause, Ye Lan turned her head to look back and saw Xiao Yun leaning against the door frame looking at her. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she got up and walked towards Xiao Yun.

  "Alan, what were you just doing?" asked Xiao Yun with a tone of surprise and three parts curiosity.

  Ye Lan said, "Nothing, just practicing!"

  "Cultivate?"

  Xiao Yun was stunned. Based on his guess, it should be a cultivation technique, but such a strange way of cultivating, he had never heard of or seen before.

  "What's with that bug?" Xiao Yun pointed at Ye Lan's brow.

  Yelan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later, you're still recovering from your injuries, go back to bed!"

  Jian Ye Lan didn't say anything, Xiao Yun also suppressed his doubts and didn't ask further. He shook his head and said, "No need, just take me around wherever you want!"

  Looking out of the courtyard, there was a slope below, and at the foot of the slope were many houses, forming a large mountain stronghold, possibly with two or three hundred households. Xiao Yun thought to take a walk around, first to familiarize himself with the surroundings, and secondly to exercise and help recover from his injuries.

  "Huh?" Ye Lan heard this and seemed somewhat embarrassed.

  Xiao Yun saw him and said, "What's wrong?"

  Ye Lan squeezed out a faint smile, "Our village doesn't really welcome outsiders, otherwise, Xiao Gege, I'll take you around this place."

  "Unwelcome to outsiders?"

  Xiao Yun paused for a moment, not making things difficult for Ye Lan, and nodded towards her. However, in his heart, he was thinking, what kind of place is Tongtian Village? A minority group on the Tianle Continent? Shouldn't minority groups be very hospitable?

  Ye Lan supported Xiang Yun as they walked out of the courtyard, occasionally turning her head to glance at Xiang Yun. She couldn't help but think that Xiang Yun was born with a good appearance, and no matter what she wore, she looked great. She was naturally a clothes rack, and even if she dressed like a savage, there was still something special about her.

  ——

  Boya Mountain, Tianyin Sect Elder Hall.

  "How did this happen?"

  A voice came from inside the study, with a hint of suppressed anger in it.

  Xie Tian's face turned iron-green, ten elite disciples went out but only five returned, not to mention that they lost half of them, and two were hijacked halfway.

  Among them, not only was there his disciple Lu Jianfeng, whom he had watched grow up and loved exceptionally, but also Xiao Yun, who had been entrusted with great expectations. Especially after learning that Xiao Yun had broken through the Leigong boundary, it made him feel even more unbearable.

  Breaking the music barrier, it means that Xiao Yun has found the Zuyin fruit. As a pre-heavenly music prodigy, he might have led the Tianyin sect to regain its former glory, but now all of this has turned into an illusion.

  Five elite disciples, losing one would be a tremendous loss. Although it was expected that some disciples might die during the Sacred Trial, Xie Tianyi never thought he would lose so many. If he had known this would happen, perhaps he would have given up on this opportunity to participate in the Sacred Trial.

  "Master, we've done our best. That demonic envoy led a large group of demonic eagles to attack us, and we could only save Wanjun and the others." The three stood respectfully in front of the desk, Liu Yuanchen said to Xie Tiangui.

  "Hum, foolishness!" Mu Tian'en had been silent and expressionless beside them, but now he couldn't hold back anymore. He glared at the three of them and burst out in a loud scolding, "Do you know or not? A First Heaven's Music Child is encountered only once every hundred years, what it means to our Tianyin Sect! You've lost him for me, how dare you come back?"

  "Born Optimist?"

  The three of them heard this and were immediately stunned. It was common for Mu Tian'en to lose his temper, but it was rare for him to be so furious. They all quickly knelt down on the ground.

  "Brother, calm down!" Xie Tianci advised the three of them who were about to rush out, looking at Liu Yuanshan who was kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear and confusion. "Xiao Yun is a pre-heavenly music prodigy who has been enlightened by the heavenly music!"

  "What?"

  The three of them suddenly lifted their heads, looking at Xie Tianci with an incredulous gaze. Xie Tianci's words were like a spring thunderclap exploding in their minds - Pre-Heavenly Joyful Youth, and even more so, Heavenly Music Enlightenment, was this possible?

  Born with a rare talent for music, to achieve this requires an extremely high level of musical attainment. For an ordinary person to compose songs that surpass the level of "Lingering Sound" is already a very difficult task. Even in the entire Tian Yue continent, it's not easy to find a few people who can do this, let alone those who can reach the level of "Tian Lai Enlightenment", which is already the limit. Such talent is indeed rare and can be considered as once-in-a-century encounter.

  Thinking back to Xiao Yun's previous performances, they had also witnessed Xiao Yun composing heavenly music, and the song "Hao Qi Jue" even reached the level of an eighth-grade refined melody, which shows his attainments in the way of music. With heavenly music as a guide, it's not impossible, or rather, it's very possible.
