Chapter 97: Three Passerbys

Seeing this, Su Yu and Ke Qiao did not hesitate and took out their zithers, placing them on the table.

Su Yu brought out the zither he had prepared in advance.

What he took out now was not the Heaven Rank sunset clouds zither, but a Profound Rank zither.

He had long been prepared with items of every grade; his longsword and chessboard were the same.

Starting from the Yellow Rank, he would prepare some for use at every stage.

Only in this way could he ensure nothing would go wrong.

Su Yu placed the Profound Rank zither on the table and set it up.

Ke Qiao also had a Profound Rank zither.

Just as Su Yu was wondering what tricks this Legacy might have, he saw Ling Wanqing walk in.

Her entrance did not attract anyone's attention; after all, she was someone with an ordinary appearance and cultivation level that was not outstanding among them.

No one would notice her, and the same went for Ke Qiao beside Su Yu.

He did not pay attention to Ling Wanqing's arrival, but Su Yu was different; he was still somewhat surprised that Ling Wanqing had also entered this pavilion.

Forget it, Su Yu stopped thinking about other things. In any case, Ling Wanqing looked no different from him right now, just another Passerby character.

No one would notice either of them.

Su Yu watched as Ling Wanqing walked closer and closer until she sat down next to Su Yu and Ke Qiao.

Su Yu felt a bit embarrassed; this was truly a coincidence.

Ling Wanqing looked around. The reason she sat here was that she saw these two people were quite ordinary, and since she was the same right now, she sat down next to Su Yu.

She had also seen the commotion caused by Yin Yun and knew this feeling well, which was why she rarely left the Celestial Maiden Sect now. Even when she did, she never appeared in her true form.

She had come this time to listen to this Zither cultivator's Legacy and hear the music played by this Zither cultivator using Zither Intent.

She also wanted to gain some insights to see if she could acquire some understanding while listening to the performance, thereby improving her own Zither Intent.

She did not need this Zither cultivator's Legacy; after all, she already possessed her own Zither Intent, and her Zither Intent was not weak either.

Seeing that everyone else had taken out their zithers, Ling Wanqing did not go against the grain. After all, who would come here without their own zither?

Ling Wanqing took out her zither and placed it on the table.

Su Yu saw the zither Ling Wanqing took out. This zither was not simple; it had actually reached the level of a Heaven Rank.

One must know that Heaven Rank weapons were extremely rare in the Southern Region, and those who possessed them were very few.

He did not expect Ling Wanqing to actually have a Heaven Rank zither.

However, she had masked the grade of this zither. In the eyes of others, this zither was also of Profound Rank quality, just looking much better on the outside than an ordinary one.

But not many people would pay attention to this zither, as the grade of the zither was what mattered most, and appearance was of no use.

Su Yu looked at Ling Wanqing's zither; it was truly a good zither, not much worse than the sunset clouds zither he had crafted himself.

Those not beside Ling Wanqing would not pay too much attention to her zither.

Ke Qiao, who was beside Su Yu, was different.

"Hey, this Miss, your zither is really good, it looks really nice."

Su Yu knew Ke Qiao's personality, so he was not surprised by this action. After all, Ke Qiao loved making friends and was a warm person.

Ling Wanqing also acted like an ordinary person.

"Many thanks for Brother's praise, your zither is not bad either," Su Yu watched Ke Qiao strike up a conversation.

This kid surely could not have imagined that the woman he was talking to was Ling Wanqing.

"This Miss, it is fate that you are sitting next to us. May I ask your name?"

Ling Wanqing pondered for a moment, "I am Ling Si."

Ke Qiao immediately introduced himself, "My name is Ke Qiao."

He then pulled Su Yu and said, "This is my brother who came with me, his name is Su Yu."

Su Yu also nodded toward Ling Wanqing, "Hello, my name is Su Yu."

"Brother Su, Brother Ke, hello."

Ke Qiao scratched his head, "Miss Ling, your surname is the same as that one from the Celestial Maiden Sect."

Hearing this, Ling Wanqing also smiled slightly.

"It is a pity that such a level of existence is not something people like us can imagine."

Su Yu looked at Ke Qiao; if he knew that the person chatting with him was Ling Wanqing, he wondered what expression Ke Qiao would have.

Ling Wanqing looked at Ke Qiao and said, "Are you talking about Peak Master Ling of the Celestial Maiden Sect?"

"Exactly, that is her."

Ling Wanqing said, "I have also heard of her."

Ke Qiao waved his hand, "Forget it, anyway, we can only talk about her behind her back, we can never see the Immortal Master herself."

"Let the three of us just listen properly to this Zither cultivator's performance later."

"I suppose for us, even if we cannot obtain the Legacy, it will still be greatly beneficial. You two must also understand this logic."

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing nodded.

"Alright, it is almost about to start, let us prepare."

As the crowd continuously entered the various pavilions, it was clear that the pavilions were almost full.

The central pavilion lit up, and at this moment, a phantom appeared in the central pavilion.

The phantom slowly walked toward the zither placed in the middle of the pavilion until the phantom sat down.

Seeing this, everyone knew it was about to begin and held their breath, waiting for the sound of the zither to come.

Su Yu watched as the phantom in the pavilion began to pluck the strings; it had started.

In an instant, the sound of the zither flowed into the ears of everyone present, and suddenly, visions changed continuously along with the changes in the zither music.

Everyone present was shocked by this scene.

Su Yu listened to this zither music and also enjoyed it very much; the level of this Zither Intent was indeed acceptable. This was the most skilled Zither Intent he had heard so far.

He had also heard Ling Wanqing play before, but Ling Wanqing had not used her full level. Although he knew Ling Wanqing's Zither Intent was also very high, he had not had the opportunity to hear her true performance.

At this moment, Su Yu really wanted to take out his wine and listen to this performance while sipping wine.

But he still did not do such a thing in front of everyone.

After all, as a Passerby like him, he should listen well when he had the chance, instead of having the leisure to drink.

After a piece ended, the visions manifested by the zither music also disappeared accordingly.

Many people had not yet come to their senses.

After listening, Ling Wanqing realized she had indeed come to the right place. After listening to this performance, she had gained some new insights into her own Zither Intent.

After listening to this Zither cultivator's Zither Intent, she also knew that her own Zither Intent was a bit stronger than this Zither cultivator's, but that did not affect her gaining something from this performance.

It would not be long before her Zither Intent could advance another step.

However, there was still some distance from that Domain of the Zither, but she was not in a hurry; she would take it slowly.

She still had Sword Intent to cultivate; she wanted to obtain both Concepts.

When everyone came back to their senses, the sound of a zither rang out again.

It was someone playing their own piece to prove their insights and Aptitude to that Zither cultivator.

Many people reacted and followed suit.

Su Yu saw that Ke Qiao was also doing the same, preparing to play.

As for Su Yu, he also had to put on a show; playing casually would be enough.

Ling Wanqing watched Su Yu prepare to play the zither, and she also mimicked Su Yu, preparing to put on a show as well.
