Chapter 71 -71 Southern Border City_1

The recent hot news about Southern Border City are twofold. The first is that Miss Xue from Nanyin Square is kicking off her inaugural tour here.

The second is that monsters have appeared causing havoc in the Li Family Village located just outside the city. Several people are already reported dead.

Among the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Nanyin Square is quite unique. Even though it is listed among the Ten Earth Immortal Sects, its activities starkly contrast the regular sects and factions.

Nanyin Square has been imparting the knowledge of the Music Law since ancient times, making it the holy land for musicians of the Immortal Sect.

The disciples of the sect have been practicing the Music Law since childhood, with all their cultivation focusing on musical instruments. They may not be weaker than the average person and possess their unique Divine Skills, yet they rarely engage in combat.

The musicians of the Immortal Sect aim for their music to be heard in the Heavens, reach the Earth, and touch the Mortal Realm. During the early stage of their Music Law cultivation, they seek to infect more people with their music, aiming for greater resonance. The more resonance they generate, the more successful their cultivation.

Thus, the cultivation process at Nanyin Square involves selecting the most talented amongst numerous outer-door disciples, admitting them as inner disciples, providing them with abundant resources, planning their tours, and promoting the Music Law.

This practice ensures that each generation of Nanyin Square’s inner disciples achieves great fame and countless followers. Nanyin Square also uses popularity as an important index, which will assist in the final selection of the inner disciples.

After completing their respective tours over several years, each generation of inner disciples will participate in a grand selection event at Nanyin Square. At that time, disciples’ followers from all over the world will gather to support their respective musicians, hoping to make them the Chief Disciple of that generation, bringing them wide fame.

This system is responsible for a unique phenomenon. Although Nanyin Square has the fewest number of disciples among the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, it could be considered the most influential.

Over thousands of years, the cultivation of Music Law has become more profound, leading to numerous seekers of truth at Nanyin Square, including those capable of wielding Tianyuan. Therefore, although the method of cultivation is unique, nobody dares to underestimating it.

The competition among this generation’s inner disciples of Nanyin Square is extremely fierce.

Two years ago, Yu Xiang’er, a genius was considered the de facto Chief Disciple of this generation.

Shortly thereafter, Xue Lingxue emerged, gaining fame for her extraordinary talent before she even left the mountain.

Shockingly, just a year later, Shen Qingyan appeared. Known for her unsurpassed beauty and unparalleled ancient melodies, Shen is surely another once-in-a-lifetime prodigy.

No wonder some lament that any one of these three would be the Chief Disciple in the past, but they all had to compete within the same generation.

This is truly a highly contested generation for Nanyin Square.

Now, Yu Xiang’er’s tour has already held several performances, mostly in large cities of the Eastern Region. However, Xue Lingxue, for her first tour, did not choose to go head-to-head with her but instead came to the Southern Region.

Yet, the Eastern Region of the Yu Dynasty is known for its prosperity and many cities, while the Southern Region is mostly wild mountains and sparse cities, ultimately incomparable. Presumably, after gaining some popularity in the Southern Region, Xue Lingxue will inevitably return to the Eastern Region.

Southern Border City, located at the junction of the Eastern and Southern Regions, is one of the busiest cities in the Southern Region. For this very reason, it was chosen as the location for Xue Lingxue’s inaugural performance.

While there are still a few days to go before the concert, the preliminary promotions have already been successful. Miss Xue’s performance has become the hottest topic in the city. Even the discussion of where the venue will be and which company will host it has become a popular subject.

…

“You two are the Immortal Masters from Shu Mountain Sect?” A middle-aged man with a mustache greeted with a bow and a nod, “I am Steward Cui, the manager of the Li Family Village. You can call me Old Cui.”

“Steward Cui, there’s no need to be so formal, we’re not that much younger than you. Please just treat us like your nephews.” The boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes stepped forward, arm around Cui’s shoulder, “This is Chu Liang, and I’m Lin Bei. If you wouldn’t mind, I’ll call you Uncle Cui.”

Lin Bei again started to display his knack for instant camaraderie.

“Ah, you two… you two young heroes are overpraising me.” Steward Cui laughed, “Our Manor Lord has been quite busy recently and hasn’t been in Southern Border City, otherwise they would have surely come to welcome you two personally.”

“It’s all the same,” Lin Bei responded with a wave of his hand, “What we’re doing here is eradicating harm for the people, everything else is not important.”

“What a noble sentiment, young Hero Lin!” praised Steward Cui.

Steward Cui led the two of them into a room where they sat down. They continued to banter, until Chu Liang couldn’t help but interject, “Steward Cui, why don’t you start by telling us about the details of the strange occurrences?”

“Oh, right right right.” Steward Cui slapped his forehead and sighed, “The reason we invited young heroes from the Shu Mountain Sect is simply because we had no other recourse.”

“Recently, our Li Family Village has been vying to secure the tour sponsorship of Miss Xue from Nanyin Square. We were just about to clinch the deal, the victory was in sight.” Steward Cui began to explain.

The Li Family Village, located on an open hillside outside Southern Border City, is not a private residence, but a high-end recreational garden serving the elite.

Wanting to host Xue Lingxue’s performance naturally aimed to attract more popularity and make their name known.

“Our only competition is Jingyue Pavilion on the Qin Nan River. They run a painted boat business. Their proposal includes parking a painted boat by the river for Miss Xue to perform on, while the audience sits along the riverbank. Haha, how ridiculous it sounds.”

Steward Cui continued, not forgetting to take a jab at their competitor in the process.

Warrior Lin timely flattered, “Indeed.”

“Before the deal was finalized, a strange incident occurred in our manor. For several consecutive nights, people have encountered a monster! The monster is as swift as the wind, making us unable to keep tabs on its movement. We do employ a few warriors at our manor, but they are unable to follow its movement. Eventually, a few groups of guests were terrified and the news spread.” Steward Cui continued.

“Furthermore, that monster seems to only scare women, not men, the reason is unknown…”

“The incident was not serious initially, and no one was injured. But Jingyue Pavilion seized the opportunity to inflate rumors that several people had already died because of the monster haunting our place. The rumors spread, and now we are at a disadvantage in the competition to host the performance…”

“Therefore, we sought help from Shu Mountain Sect, hoping the young heroes could help us eliminate the monster.” Steward Cui said expectantly.

“But isn’t Nanyin Square already one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands? Is it necessary to ask us for help?” Chu Liang was rather confused.

“Aha, you probably don’t understand Nanyin Square well.” Lin Bei laughed knowingly, “Those Immortal Sect musicians indeed have high cultivation, but they always disliked fighting. Moreover, Nanyin Square historically had a limited number of inner disciples and would rarely act on behalf of others to exorcise monsters and demons.”

“As for Miss Xue’s tour in the Southern Border City, it’s crucial to her. She has to focus all her thoughts on preparing for the performance. If any monster distracts her, forcing her to divert extra energy to eliminate the monster, it could affect the state of her performance.”

“Their practice method is somewhat different from that of normal cultivators.”

“Warrior Lin is correct,” Steward Cui said, “Nanyin Square certainly wouldn’t help us with such matters. Additionally, the founder of our Li Family Village was also a disciple of Shu Mountain Sect. So, we provide offerings to Shu Mountain every year, and have always maintained a good relationship with the sect.”

“So it was a manor built by a Shu Mountain predecessor, we must enjoy ourselves thoroughly then,” Lin Bei immediately said, “Uncle Cui, I have another inappropriate request. I wonder if it’s convenient?”

“Warrior Lin, please do tell.” Steward Cui naturally showed full hospitality.

“So, after we help you eliminate the monster, naturally handling the performance will be an easy task. By then, could we stay in the manor for a few days to enjoy ourselves before leaving after the end of the performance?” Lin Bei asked.

“Haha. This is naturally no problem at all; I can agree on behalf of the Manor Lord. If you two young heroes solve our problem, we must treat you generously. After all, Warrior Lin, you are looking forward to Miss Xue’s performance, right?”

“Hehe.” Lin Bei giggled, “Among all of Nanyin Square, I endorse Shen Qingyan first, followed by Xue Lingxue. But in the whole realm, my favorite is still our own from Shu Mountain Sect, Jiangjiang, Jiang Yuebai.”

“Oh my, Warrior Lin and I are indeed like-minded! I also endorse Shen Qingyan first, and appreciate the renown of Immortal Jiang from the Shu Mountain Sect. Sadly, I have never had the chance to meet her.” Steward Cui revealed a sincere smile for the first time upon hearing this, “Qing Yan, Qing Yan, so pretty and with a voice so sweet!”

“Qing Qing my heart, joyous for your bright smile!” Lin Bei also added excitedly.

The two men’s enthusiasm took the best of them. They clasped hands, their faces illuminated with excitement, they looked like long-lost kindred spirits found far across the world.

Chu Liang, standing aside, wore a face full of question marks.

A thick-browed, big-eyed Lin Bei… Given his tender age, his antics could be overlooked. But Uncle Cui, you must have passed your prime for four times by now, right? What’s with all this?

What’s with the salt? What’s with the sweetness?

Are we truly living in the same world?

Huh?
