Chapter 470: Chapter 469 Pest Control (Part 2)

My goodness, this python has become a spirit, it even dances to music, Lin Tian watched, completely astonished. This was indeed the python that had escaped earlier, it was actually under the control of Li Qingyun and her granddaughter.

Could this be the Snake Gu that Professor Xue and his wife mentioned? He wondered to himself.

He couldn’t understand the sound of the ancient qin, but Xiao Manxuan listened with great interest, and even looked at the python curiously without any of the fear she had before.

Li Qingyun did not play for long, stopping after three minutes, and the python also stopped writhing and crawled back behind the altar.

She stood up, and her first glance was not towards Lin Tian, but towards the curious Xiao Manxuan.

"Little girl, what is your name? It seems you can understand the melody I play?" Li Qingyun asked kindly.

"Big sister, my name is Xiao Manxuan, how should I address you? I understood a bit of it just now, although the melody was obscure and difficult, it seemed not too hard to play," Xiao Manxuan called her ’big sister’ straightforwardly.

Lin Tian could only cover his face, a look of helplessness on his face, it was indeed another misunderstanding.

"Second Miss, Granny Li is Miss Li Yue’s grandmother, calling her in this way will mix up the seniority." Lin Tian had to intervene and remind her.

The little girl referred to Li Yue as sister, and now she called Li Qingyun big sister, completely messing up the seniority.

Upon hearing Lin Tian’s reminder, Xiao Manxuan clearly did not believe it, she turned and looked at Li Yue, who nodded affirmatively. Xiao Manxuan immediately gaped, her face in disbelief.

"How... how is this possible." The little girl barely managed to speak after a long time.

"Little girl, my name is Li Qingyun, Yueyue bears my surname, and she indeed is my granddaughter, this is simply some Youthful Appearance Technique, nothing to be so shocked about. However, I am quite interested in you," Li Qingyun said, assessing Xiao Manxuan with a slight smile.

It took Xiao Manxuan a full ten minutes to accept this unconventional fact.

"Granny Li, I’m really sorry, I just called you big sister." Xiao Manxuan apologetically said, as mistaking seniority is a serious matter in Huaxia.

However, Li Qingyun didn’t take it to heart at all, still smiling, she said, "Little girl, you just mentioned that you could play it, care to give a demonstration?"

"I’ll give it a try." Xiao Manxuan didn’t refuse and directly sat in front of the Qin platform.

Since Li Qingyun wasn’t in a hurry to explain the purpose of the meeting, Lin Tian wasn’t in a hurry either; it was still early before 7 o’clock.

Just as Xiao Manxuan sat down, she exclaimed, "This... this is the ancient Qin Lu Qi!"

"Lu Qi, what a strange name for a Qin, is it famous?" Lin Tian, who wasn’t well-versed in the field of music, didn’t know much about these ancient Qins.

Xiao Manxuan gently touched the body of the Qin and sighed, "In ancient times there were four famous Qins, the Zhou Dynasty’s Hao Zhong, the Spring and Autumn’s Rao Liang, the Western Han’s Lu Qi, and the Eastern Han’s Jiao Wei, Lu Qi is entirely black yet subtly emanates a dark green glow, like green vines entwining an ancient tree, I didn’t expect one of the lost famous four Qins, Lu Qi, to appear here."

Li Qingyun nodded, confirming that Lu Qi wasn’t a replica, and said, "The Tang Dynasty’s Spring Thunder, Nine Heavens Jade, Great Saint’s Legacy, Du You, Taigu Yiyin and the Ming Dynasty’s Ben Lei, along with the four great Qins, are called the ten famous Qins, it’s a pity that there are few still existing in the world.

That it was a relic from the Western Han period left Lin Tian amazed, he then recalled the ancient Qin at Fanyin Temple, which wasn’t part of the ten famous Qins, otherwise Xiao Manxuan would have recognized it immediately.

However, Lin Tian faintly felt that, in front of that ancient zither, the so-called famous zither Lu Qi seemed merely ordinary. He had not realized it before, but now that he compared them, the difference was apparent.

He did not know the origin of that zither, and Lin Tian grew curious.

"Ding-dong..." Xiao Manxuan also gently stroked the strings, and the pleasant sound of the zither rang out again. A "rustle" sound followed, and the python emerged once more from behind the altar table.

It looked up at Xiao Manxuan doubtfully, but soon, just as before, it began to twist its body. Three minutes passed, the sound of the zither stopped, and the python slithered back behind the altar table.

"Genius, simply a genius. With such talent, she would learn Gu techniques at twice the speed," Li Qingyun exclaimed, eyes shining as he looked at Xiao Manxuan as if she were a priceless treasure.

Li Yue also looked on with admiration, while Lin Tian was again dumbstruck. Was the Second Miss possessed by the spirit of a zither god? She had listened once and could play it completely, even controlling the python, which meant she played exactly like Li Qingyun had.

However, seeing the gleam in Li Qingyun’s eyes, Lin Tian knew she had the intention of taking a disciple. Since ancient times, good masters were hard to find, and good disciples even harder. Now that one had appeared, it would be strange if Li Qingyun were not moved.

Second Miss, please don’t agree, Lin Tian still couldn’t accept her being like the Gu Cultivators, always dealing with snakes and insects.

"Granny Li, I currently have no intention of learning the Gu technique," Xiao Manxuan, being clear-headed, had also discerned Li Qingyun’s intention and thus declined explicitly.

Lin Tian breathed a huge sigh of relief, then purposefully stepped forward and said, "Granny Li, you invited me to resolve a Gu issue, right? Can we start now?"

Although Li Qingyun was disappointed, she did not press the issue and simply nodded, signaling Lin Tian and the others to follow.

This time, they took a different secret passage. Lin Tian followed the pair to a slightly smaller underground hall, where objects were stored all around, though they were all covered with black cloth.

In the middle of the hall, there was a long table covered with a black cloth. From the bulging shape under the cloth, Lin Tian could tell that it obviously covered a person.

No, not a person. With such covering, it could only be a body! On closer inspection, it seemed not to be, as the black cloth slightly undulated—a clear sign of breathing. Lin Tian was very curious about what Li Qingyun was up to.

The normally talkative Xiao Manxuan, upon suddenly seeing a body in the basement, scaredly hid behind Lin Tian, yet couldn’t help her curiosity and peeked out.

"Mr. Lin, before we proceed with the Gu removal, we must first conduct an experiment to ensure complete success," Li Qingyun said.

"What experiment?" Lin Tian asked.

"A pest removal experiment!" Li Qingyun said with a mysterious smile and then stretched out her hand to uncover the black cloth on the table.

"Ah..." Xiao Manxuan couldn’t bear to look and covered her eyes directly.

Lin Tian, however, looked on indifferently, but when he saw the person under the black cloth, he was instantly stunned and could no longer remain indifferent.

Under the black cloth was a woman, a woman wearing simple garments, which were hardly garments at all, covering only the sensitive areas with a towel and her body marked with ancient and profound symbols—surely drawn by either Li Qingyun or Li Yue.

Looking at her face, the woman had some beauty, but upon seeing the woman’s face clearly, Lin Tian was completely confused. He had met this woman not long ago, but why was she here with Li Qingyun?
