Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: Detecting a Flaw

"Alright, young friend, tell me, let me see where the mistake was." The old man spoke calmly.

"Sure, first of all, this tune is ’High Mountain and Flowing Water,’ a famous song from the Spring and Autumn Period. It’s said to be composed when Senior Yu Boya excelled at playing the zither strings and Zhong Ziqi was skilled at discerning melodies and meanings, creating a bond between them."

Chen Tianlong gently closed his eyes, recalling what he’d heard, then continued, "But, old master, when you play ’High Mountain and Flowing Water,’ you’re missing a listener. Thus, the whole tune lacks depth, and the feeling of nodding to a friend with a knowing smile, the bond in the heart, is completely absent. That’s why I said there’s a small flaw."

Upon hearing this, the old man took a deep breath, realizing this young man was truly exceptional. To discern such subtle things showed his keen insight and extraordinary wisdom, making him a rare talent.

In an instant, Chen Tianlong woke up and saw the old man continue playing the zither before him.

"I see, I was dreaming just now."

Chen Tianlong smiled wryly and continued listening to the music.

Meanwhile, Hao Shuai was still in the dream, surrounded by darkness, with his brother Hao Jian standing not far away.

"Brother, why are you here? Since you died, I’ve barely been able to hold on, it hurts so much. I must kill Chen Tianlong to avenge you," Hao Shuai said through gritted teeth.

"Brother, I believe in you. No matter the cost, you must eliminate Chen Tianlong and restore the Hao Family, understood?" Hao Jian’s apparition replied.

"Yes, I will. I must diligently cultivate the Star Absorption Technique, become the greatest in the world, and kill those who’ve harmed us," Hao Shuai swore angrily to his brother.

"Good, haha..." Hao Jian said before vanishing.

"Brother! Don’t go, I still have things to tell you....." Hao Shuai hurriedly reached out his hand but grabbed Pure Yang Feifei next to him instead.

"Huh? Hao Shuai, what are you doing? Do you want to die!"

Pure Yang Feifei was about to explode. If it weren’t for her master in front of her, she’d have immediately gone berserk and destroyed Hao Shuai. Look at what you grabbed, you scratched my beautiful back with your rough hands. freeweɓnøvel.com

"Yikes?"

At this point, Hao Shuai also woke up, looking at Pure Yang Feifei glaring at him, realizing he was in trouble and that he had been dreaming.

"I’m sorry, Bingshuang, I didn’t mean it just now."

After realizing, Hao Shuai hurriedly apologized, frightened because Pure Yang Feifei was a Celestial Dao Seven Stars, near Great Perfection. Even if his powers were restored, he wouldn’t stand a chance against her.

"Hmph, sorry, sorry. You think I don’t know what you want, trying to take advantage of me while I’m not paying attention, right?" Pure Yang Feifei shot Hao Shuai a glance.

Hao Shuai felt so wronged, there wasn’t any taking advantage, and now he’s misunderstood. If he had, it could at least be justified.

"Hahaha, it’s Bingshuang. You cared enough to come see this old man?" The old man stopped playing and stood up slowly.

"Master, I missed you!" Pure Yang Feifei started acting coy.

The four people beside her were already stunned; Chen Tianlong thought, "Master? Isn’t that Senior Yun Zhonghe?"

Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "I am Chen Tianlong, greetings to Senior Yun Zhonghe."

"Greetings to Senior Yun Zhonghe."

Lin Wushuang, Wu Mengting, and Hao Shuai heard what Chen Tianlong said, immediately reacted, and spoke in unison.

"Hahaha, no need for formality. Since everyone is here, there’s no need for pleasantries." Clearly, Senior Yun Zhonghe was easy to get along with; the Sect Leader, Pure Yang Daoist had said he had a strange character, which Chen Tianlong couldn’t quite understand.

"Thank you, Senior Yun Zhonghe," the four replied.

At this moment, Pure Yang Feifei walked over, grabbed Senior Yun Zhonghe’s hand, and smiled, "Master, you’ve grown much younger!"

Chen Tianlong was a bit speechless, "Is this still Pure Yang Feifei?"

She seemed like a different person, but it all happened in reality.

Chen Tianlong was a bit bewildered. At this moment, Senior Yun Zhonghe spoke, "Hmm, Feifei, is there something you want to ask, otherwise, you wouldn’t come personally to Lingyun Pavilion, given how strict your father is?"

"Hehe, no, I just missed you," Pure Yang Feifei continued to deny.

"Away with you, stop pretending. What’s the matter, tell me." Senior Yun Zhonghe suddenly became serious. Chen Tianlong finally understood what Pure Yang Daoist meant about his strange character.

"Ah? You guessed it, Master."

Seeing Senior Yun Zhonghe’s seriousness, Pure Yang Feifei dared no longer act coy; she understood her master’s character—once serious, it’s business time, and there’s no place for cutesy behavior.

"Alright, speak up, why bring so many people here?" Senior Yun Zhonghe looked around at several people, then asked seriously.

"It’s like this, Master, this is the Trial Taker of Celestial Pill Sect, Chen Tianlong, whom you instructed previously to meet." Pure Yang Feifei repeated her father’s words.

"Oh? So it’s him, haha, impressive, impressive, to come out unscathed from Divine Dragon Cave is truly remarkable."

Senior Yun Zhonghe finally understood what was happening; he’d sensed Chen Tianlong’s extraordinariness when entering his dream, realizing who he was. No wonder he radiated Immortal Bone essence and wisdom beyond compare.

At this moment, Senior Yun Zhonghe already had a plan in mind, but outwardly he continued, "I invited Chen Tianlong, so what about the others around him?"

Senior Yun Zhonghe pointed at Hao Shuai and others, asking, "Are they Trial Takers too?"

"Indeed, Master, they accompanied Chen Tianlong, and that’s all," Pure Yang Feifei was taken aback, fearing her master might want them gone, so she quickly clarified.

"Hahaha, good, welcome." Senior Yun Zhonghe suddenly smiled.

"Yikes?"

Everyone expressed the same confusion; Senior Yun Zhonghe’s character was truly strange, not letting anyone fathom his thoughts.

This was exactly Senior Yun Zhonghe’s strength, making it difficult for others to predict him, which was the best defense. Years of cultivation granted him supreme prowess and the ability to enthrall others, keeping everything under his control.

Even the dreams of Chen Tianlong and Hao Shuai were orchestrated by him; from the moment they entered, they’d been subjected to Senior Yun Zhonghe’s tests, completely unaware.

However, Chen Tianlong, having some insight, gradually perceived Senior Yun Zhonghe’s intentions, "Is Master testing us? It feels strange."

Chen Tianlong began to ponder, deciding to be more attentive later, lest he unknowingly miss an opportunity.

"Alright everyone, follow me to the parlor," Senior Yun Zhonghe said.

"Alright, Master!"

Pure Yang Feifei gestured to Chen Tianlong.

Chen Tianlong got the message and immediately led Lin Wushuang and Wu Mengting to follow, with Hao Shuai trailing behind.

After arriving at the hall, Senior Yun Zhonghe didn’t linger but went straight to his room, leaving Chen Tianlong surprised. "Didn’t Senior Yun Zhonghe inform us earlier? He invited me over, yet now he heads back to his room, what does this mean?"

Seeing Senior Yun Zhonghe’s action, Chen Tianlong grew anxious and signaled Pure Yang Feifei. Helpless, Pure Yang Feifei had to brace herself and follow through.
