Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 659 - 658

Chapter 659: 658

Huo Yuanzhen waved her hand casually, and an ancient zither appeared before her.

Seated with her legs crossed, Huo Yuanzhen meditated for a long time before she stretched out a pair of jade hands and placed them on the zither. Delicate fingers strummed the strings, and the beautiful sound of the zither immediately spread out. These notes were precisely the ten pieces Su Yang had just written.

The music was graceful and delightful, yet it was confined to this room. A ring of purple light enveloped the room, sealing the sound within and preventing it from escaping.

As Huo Yuanzhen played faster and faster, the air within the room began to pulsate. That air slowly condensed, and Spiritual Energy gathered, forming visible musical notes that filled the entire room.

Suddenly, the music from Huo Yuanzhen’s hands became intense, and the notes also rapidly oscillated. Fortunately, the surrounding purple glow pressed down quickly, containing the musical notes within it.

However, this situation did not last for long. As the music from Huo Yuanzhen became more intense and the notes oscillated more violently, the purple light eventually shattered under the force of the notes, dispersing completely.

At this moment, Huo Yuanzhen timely ceased playing, and the music stopped abruptly. The musical notes in the air, however, lingered for a long while.

Huo Yuanzhen stood up, looking at the musical notes that filled the air, and nodded, "Just as I suspected, this lad’s compositions are not ordinary pieces; they are Immortal melodies that can be used for cultivation. They can even enhance my cultivation level, indeed extraordinary. Had I known this, I should have asked for a hundred pieces instead of just ten."

Su Yang naturally did not know that it was Huo Yuanzhen who had asked for the musical pieces, not Huo Qianfang.

Ever since Huo Yuanzhen last heard the songs Su Yang had written for Ying’er, she had a faint feeling that these compositions were special. However, without seeing the actual pieces, merely listening to the performance, she was unable to discern their true intricacy. Therefore, she had been manipulating Huo Qianfang’s spirit all this time to coerce Su Yang into parting with the pieces.

Though Huo Qianfang was outward in personality, she was certainly no match for Huo Yuanzhen. Relying solely on Huo Qianfang, it would naturally have been impossible to force Su Yang to live in the same room with her and then use this situation to pressure Su Yang into composing for her.

But Huo Yuanzhen was different, as the saying goes, "an old ginger is hotter than a new one." With her strength as a Terrestrial Immortal, Su Yang was unable to detect her control over Huo Qianfang, and he was indeed deceived by her.

Of course, Huo Yuanzhen could no longer go to Su Yang for more pieces now. Su Yang had only given her ten pieces, and if she threatened Su Yang with this matter again, he might actually resist.

So, after much thought, she decided that she would have to find another approach.

A hint of a smile suddenly flashed in Huo Yuanzhen’s eyes, and she went straight to the next room where Huo Qianfang was.

Huo Qianfang was still slumped on the sofa, asleep. After having her spirit controlled by Huo Yuanzhen, she needed to rest for a while before she could recover.

This kind of manipulation was something ordinary people should never attempt lightly. Being controlled mentally was extremely dangerous.

Luckily, Huo Yuanzhen was kind to Huo Qianfang, and each time she controlled her spirit, she would use her power to heal Huo Qianfang’s body. As a result, Huo Qianfang’s body was being tempered without her realizing it.

Huo Yuanzhen stood beside Huo Qianfang and gently touched her forehead, a stream of purple light slowly seeping into Huo Qianfang’s body.

Huo Qianfang gradually woke up, and seeing Huo Yuanzhen beside her, she was startled and stood up in a hurry.

"Great-aunt," Huo Qianfang said softly, her eyes filled with curiosity.

She had seen this great-aunt so few times. The last time was when she was very young, and at that time, she just thought this great-aunt was too young-looking and exuded an air of an Immortal.

Seeing her again, Huo Qianfang felt strange because this great-aunt looked remarkably similar to her.

Moreover, decades have passed and this lady hasn’t changed a bit, which is truly enviable. Time seems to have left her untouched; could this be the effect of being a cultivator?

Huo Yuanzhen smiled faintly, sitting on the sofa, "Take a seat."

Huo Qianfang sat down next to Huo Yuanzhen, and looking at Huo Yuanzhen’s smiling face, she always felt somewhat uneasy.

"Fang’er, you’re not getting any younger!" Huo Yuanzhen said with a light smile.

Huo Qianfang was startled for a moment and said softly, "I... I haven’t even celebrated my twentieth birthday yet..."

"That’s old enough to start thinking about marriage!" Huo Yuanzhen declared.

Huo Qianfang was baffled. You’re a lady in her sixties or seventies who hasn’t married, and you’re worrying about the marriage prospects of a girl who isn’t even twenty?

"Do you have any boys you like?" Huo Yuanzhen asked with a smile.

Huo Qianfang looked utterly bewildered and shook her head, "Granny, I’m still young. Besides, I’m quite busy right now and don’t have the time to worry about other things."

"Ah, what’s there to be busy with? The affairs of the Huo Family don’t all fall on you," Huo Yuanzhen chuckled, "For a young girl, finding a good man is of utmost importance. Shall I help you look for one?"

Huo Qianfang was speechless, "No need, Granny. Actually, I..."

"What do you think of Su Yang?" Huo Yuanzhen suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Huo Qianfang was stunned. What did this mean?

Huo Qianfang had truly met Su Yang only twice. The first time was when Ying’er participated in that singing contest, and the second was last night at Ziyun Pavilion.

The other two encounters weren’t really Huo Qianfang meeting Su Yang, but Huo Yuanzhen manipulating Huo Qianfang to meet Su Yang. So, she herself didn’t know what had happened during those two times.

Huo Qianfang’s interest in Su Yang was mainly because of the songs he wrote for Ying’er, which had moved her as well. As for anything else, she hadn’t really given it much thought.

When Huo Yuanzhen suddenly made such a statement, it naturally took her by surprise. What was going on with Granny that she suddenly wanted to play matchmaker with her and Su Yang?

In fact, upon careful thought, Su Yang wasn’t unlikeable. He was certainly much better than the likes of Lian Shaoye from Pingbei Province!

Huo Qianfang’s heart fluttered, and she flushed red with embarrassment. How had she started thinking along these lines?

"Granny, Su Yang and I are scarcely acquainted," Huo Qianfang hurriedly said.

"It’s fine, familiarity comes with time!" Huo Yuanzhen laughed, "Besides, he has written ten pieces of music for you, he has been quite nice to you!"

"What?" Huo Qianfang’s eyes widened. She indeed wanted Su Yang to write songs for her, but Su Yang was firm in his refusal. What was going on? And he wrote ten pieces at once?

"See for yourself." Huo Yuanzhen handed over the ten pieces of music with a smile, "Ten pieces! Isn’t that enough to express his feelings? Fang’er, it’s true that a girl needs to be reserved, but sometimes you need to take the initiative. Otherwise, if a boy sees no hope, he might just back away!"
