Chapter 562: Chapter 553: Miniature Mo Xiaoyao

"Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon! Xueh Wuheng!" Shi Feng murmured the name softly.

Originally, when Shi Feng listened to this melody, he had heard it before—it was created by his disciple Mo Xiaoyao. He had initially thought that the person discussing the melody was a disciple of Mo Xiaoyao’s.

Now, however, he did not expect that the one who played the melody was Qin Rufan’s disciple, Xueh Wuheng.

Yet, this was normal; Qin Rufan’s disciple playing a melody created by his master, Mo Xiaoyao.

Now that he had encountered it, Shi Feng wanted to meet this granddisciple. Then, Shi Feng spoke again to the maid, "Take me to meet Xueh Wuheng."

"This... this..." After hearing Shi Feng’s words, the maid showed a troubled expression and said, "Young Master, that... that requires the consent of Young Master Xueh Wuheng before I can take you there."

After a moment, the maid continued, "Young Master, let’s do this. You continue to wait here in the hall for a bit, and I will go and ask Young Master Xueh Wuheng."

"Mm! Go ahead." After hearing the maid’s words, Shi Feng nodded and then said, "Tell him that I, the young master, have listened to the Melody of Sorrow of Freedom and would like to meet the person who played it."

"The words of the young master will be conveyed exactly as said to Young Master Xueh Wuheng," said the maid.

"Mm! Go ahead!" said Shi Feng.

"Young Master, please wait a moment!" The maid turned and once again departed gracefully.

Shi Jinsuai, who was nearby, suddenly looked enlightened after hearing their conversation. He also remembered that Shi Feng was a disciple of Emperor Xiaoyao, and both Emperor Xiaoyao and the World’s No. One Alchemist, Qin Rufan, were disciples of Emperor Nine Nether of the Netherworld. This made Xueh Wuheng, theoretically speaking, a fellow disciple of Shi Feng.

After a while, the maid who had left returned, wearing a smile as she approached Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai. Coming up close, she said to Shi Feng, "Young Master, I have just relayed your words to Young Master Xueh Wuheng. After hearing them, he is also very interested in meeting the Young Master."

"That’s good! Then take us to him," said Shi Feng.

After hearing the maid’s words, Shi Jinsuai knew Xueh Wuheng wanted to meet his ’Brother Shi’ Shi Feng. Considering he was an outsider, he prepared to leave. But upon hearing Shi Feng say "us," he decided to join and see what this disciple of the World’s No. One Alchemist was like.

The sound of the zither continued to resonate in the Divine Love Pavilion. The maid led Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai, and gradually, they left the hall and entered a backyard filled with artificial hills, small bridges, and flowing water—the scenery was still quite beautiful.

Not long after, a quaint small building appeared in front of them. The maid led Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai to the front door of the small building. The continuous sound of the zither was precisely coming from this building. Faintly, there was also the sound of women’s laughter.

Hearing the women’s laughter coming from inside the building, Shi Feng frowned and muttered in a low voice, "This... is this a disciple of Qin Rufan, not someone taken in by Mo Xiaoyao?"

The three stopped at the door, and just then, the maid spoke through the room’s door to the outside, "Young Master Xueh Wuheng, these two young masters have arrived."

"Zing!" As soon as the maid finished speaking, suddenly, a "zing" sound occurred—the continuous zither sound instantly stopped. Following this, a young man’s voice emitted from inside the room, "Please invite them in."

After saying that, the young man inside spoke again, "You all, please leave first."

"Yes! Young Master!" A lovely, crisp voice rang out. These voices were all from women, and judging by the sound, there must have been at least a dozen women inside the room.

Is this really the disciple Qin Rufan took in?

Then, the door of the small building opened. One after another, pretty faces and graceful figures appeared in Shi Feng’s line of sight. The women giggled as they walked out from inside, and bursts of fragrant wind accompanied them, wafting towards Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai.

These women, beautiful and lithe, varied from innocent to enchanting, from mature to petite, all wearing translucent fabrics that tantalizingly obscured and revealed their bodies.

In total, there were eleven beautiful women, each one a breathtaking beauty. The maid who had led Shi Feng and his companion here looked pretty enough, but compared to these eleven women, she was significantly less striking.

As all the women left the room and moved away from the small building, the maid bowed to Shi Feng, "Young Masters, your servant takes her leave."

After bowing to Shi Feng and his companion, the maid turned and bowed towards the inside of the small building, "Young Master Xueh, your servant takes her leave." Having done this, she gracefully stepped back, turned around, and left lightly.

"Let’s go inside," Shi Feng said to Shi Jinsuai next to him, and he walked towards the door first, entering the small building.

It was an extremely elegant room. As Shi Feng entered, he still smelled the same delicate fragrance that had lingered on those women.

Then, Shi Feng saw in the middle of this exquisite room a young man dressed in white, his long hair draped over his shoulders and his features strikingly handsome, appearing carefree and unbound, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

In front of the man, there was no guqin table, just an ancient guqin floating in front of him.

Seeing this carefree and unbound young man in white, Shi Feng thought to himself, this was simply a miniature version of Mo Xiaoyao. Could this person be the illegitimate child Mo Xiaoyao had unwittingly fathered with some woman? And then he became a disciple of Qin Rufan?

Perhaps because Shi Feng had mentioned the Melody of Sorrow of Freedom to the maid, Xueh Wuheng greeted Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai with a natural smile as they entered. With a wave of his white robe, two rosewood chairs suddenly moved to a spot not far in front of Xueh Wuheng.

Then, Xueh Wuheng pointed to the two redwood chairs and said to Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai, "Please, guests, have a seat."

"Thank you!" Shi Jinsuai bowed to Xueh Wuheng and then walked over to a redwood chair and sat down.

Shi Feng maintained a calm demeanor, sitting down on the redwood chair beside Shi Jinsuai without any hesitation, his gaze still fixed on Xueh Wuheng.

The more Shi Feng observed this disciple, the more he found that his appearance, the earlier movement of waving his robe, the smile on his face, and the tone of his speech, increasingly resembled Mo Xiaoyao.

And the crowd of beauties they had met upon arrival, even their temperament, was strikingly similar.

After Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai sat down, Xueh Wuheng continued to smile and asked, "May I know who it was that recognized the Melody of Sorrow of Freedom I was playing just now?"

After speaking, Xueh Wuheng’s gaze lingered on Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai, scrutinizing them closely.
