Hearing someone calling out to them, Xia Tian and Xia Xing lang stopped walking, and they turned their heads towards the woman.

A woman in her twenties with light brown hair in a white dress that was tight enough to reveal her beautiful curves, as well as her sizeable bust of about 36B, walked down the stairs from the second floor, and she approached them directly.

The woman’s face was quite beautiful, although she was not as pretty as Xia Xing, moreover she looked too serious, almost like a geek. She had slanted brown eyes, thin brown eyebrows, and a very snub nose, but she had sensual red lips.

Xia Xing instantly recognized the woman who was approaching them, Xia Tian only glanced at the woman, then he turned his gaze to the guzheng earlier. “Eh? Why are you here, Sister Mengxin?”

“This place belongs to my Murong family, so of course I’m here, Xing’er. I was the one who didn’t expect to see you two here, what are you guys looking for?” She was Murong Mengxin, the first daughter of the Murong family, and the Murong family is the owner of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Murong Mengxin then followed Xia Tian’s gaze towards a guzheng, then she asked him. “Are you interested in that Guzheng, Young Master Tian?”

Xia Tian nodded, and said casually. “I’m really interested in that Guzheng, but it’s a shame that lowly maidservant behavior puts me in a bad mood.”

Hearing that, Murong Mengxin glared at the maidservant briefly, making her shudder. Murong Mengxin could see from Xia Tian’s gaze that he really knew how to play guzheng, as his gaze was filled with deep longing, then she spoke to Xia Tian again. “How about this, Young Master Tian. You seem to be fluent in guzheng, how about you can play a song for us, and I’ll give the guzheng to you for free.”

Xia Tian smiled at her then said confidently. “Miss Murong is indeed a meticulous person. Very well, I will accept your offer then.”

‘Is he really Xia Tian? His attitude is not like the rumors circulating outside.’ Murong Mengxin said to herself.

Xia Tian then walked towards the guzheng, when he arrived in front of it, he directly placed his hand on it. Then he closed his eyes, and a few moments later he plucked one string of the guzheng. 𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺

*Ting…*

Just a single note made the people in the room feel the sadness and longing deep in their hearts, the aura emitted by Xia Tian also made them even more emotional.

Xia Tian’s hands began to pluck the strings, he played a song that was foreign to their ears. Even though they didn’t recognize what song he was playing, but the melody and accompaniment made the song very pleasant to their ears.

They stared at Xia Tian who was playing guzheng with his eyes closed, his expression filled with sadness and longing for someone. And that feeling was not buried in his heart for a year or two, but maybe hundreds or thousands of years.

Xia Xxing, Murong Mengxin and everyone else started to shed tears. The more Xia Tian played with the guzheng, the more their hearts were tormented by such deep sadness and longing.

Seven minutes later, Xia Tian had finished his guzheng play, and immediately the place was filled with applause, even those who had been whispering scornfully, they were also amazed by Xia Tian’s guzheng play.

“Your guzheng play is really great, Young Master Tian!” Murong Mengxin said in awe, as she wiped her tears, then she let Xia Tian keep the guzheng, and she asked. “Do you still want to look for something else, Young Master Tian? We can talk in my room if there are other items you need.”

“En, I do still need some other items, Miss Murong.”

After Xia Tian said that, Murong Mengxin then took him and Xia Xing into her room, as soon as they entered, Alice immediately said.

[There is someone watching over you, Master. It seems that she is this woman’s personal bodyguard, she is quite beautiful, and she is also strong, Master.]

Xia Tian raised his eyebrows. ‘Show me their status, Alice.’

=======================

Xia Tian raised an eyebrow at Murong Mengxin’s status, as this was the second time he had encountered such a strange status after Mo Xiaoqi, but he was quite surprised to see that her spiritual root was at Divine grade.

As for Lin Xue, he didn’t care much for her, as there was nothing special about her status, other than her body technique and technique.

But he was quite attracted to Murong Mengxin, because she was a beautiful woman, and she also had Divine grade spiritual root.

[Do you want to make Mengxin your dual cultivation partner, Master?] Alice immediately teased him, as soon as she found out what Xia Tian was thinking.

‘Sigh, we’ll see in the future, I haven’t thought about her for now.’ Xia Tian inwardly sighed, then he took out a list of seven ingredients, and handed it to Murong Mengxin. “Can you help me with these ingredients, Miss Murong?”

Murong Mengxin received the list, and she read first by seconds, before long she said. “The other four ingredients are already available here, as for the Purple Soul Grass, Green Lotus Root, and Gold Rank Fire Beast Core. I have to find them first, and I will try to contact our other branches first, that way I can collect them faster.”

“En, it doesn’t matter Miss Murong, because I’m not in a hurry either.” Xia Tian said with a nod, he was relieved that Murong Mengxin was willing to help him, moreover the Thousand Treasure Palace’s branches were spread all over the southern continent.

“Okay, after I collect all of them, I will directly send them to Xia Manor.” Then Murong Mengxin asked curiously. “Can you tell me the story behind the song you played earlier, Young Master Tian?”
