C265 The Music in the Distance

Article 265. The zither music in the distance    

    

The night sky was slightly cool. The Ancient Demon Star Domain at night was even more beautiful than the Dust.    

    

Chu Yan and the others were drinking in the restaurant. They were all wine lovers, so when they drank, they naturally didn't say anything. Hua Zhixu was a typical example. He loved wine very much. Of course, he didn't drink all kinds of people. He only drank with people who were temperamental. Just like Lau Xi, the two of them got along very well.    

    

Some people said that wine was a kind of lofty sentiments. Those who were willing to drink it, those who knew wine, must be people who could be taught.    

    

"Good fellow, the three of you really can drink. This is the last cup. Tomorrow, the Li Huo Academy will report in. You can't be late." Lau Xi was speechless. He had always thought that he could drink alcohol, but today, he had suffered a huge loss with Chu Yan and the other two.    

    

"Alright." Chu Yan smiled and nodded.    

    

"Where did the three of you come from? You must have a lot of stories on you, right?" Du Meiling, who was standing at the side, stuck her chin up and looked at Chu Yan and the other two curiously.    

    

Chu Yan smiled bitterly. A lot of stories? There were really a lot of stories. Four years of ups and downs had turned into a sorrowful day. The last battle in Dust that day was tragic and heroic. However, Chu Yan just smiled and did not explain anything.    

    

"Mr Chu, it's your first time coming to Ancient Demon Star Domain. Why don't you go to my Lau Mansion at night?"    

    

"That's good as well. You three can go to the Lau Mansion. The Lau Mansion is very big, so it won't be a problem to have three more mouths of yours. If I'm a man, I'll let you live in my family. " Du Meiling's beautiful eyes could not help but flash with a touch of sadness.    

    

"Then I will have to trouble Brother Liu." Chu Yan said politely. He also hoped to grasp the Ancient Demon Star Domain as soon as possible. In just a day's time, Chu Yan had a simple understanding of the Ancient Demon Star Domain. The Li Huo Academy was in the eastern part of the Ancient Demon Star Domain. In the eastern part, the five houses were the most powerful, and the first house was naturally referring to the Li Huo Academy. The five families were also referring to the Jiang family, Lau family, du Family, Lo family and Huo Family. The Jiang family was the first, and the Lo family was the second. The Huo Family was the third, and the Lau family and Du Family were now somewhat desolate.    

    

Therefore, it was easier for Chu Yan to understand the situation of the Ancient Demon Star Domain in the Lau family.    

    

After the banquet ended, Chu Yan and the other two followed Lau Xi back to the Lau Mansion. Lau Mansion was very large, with more than a hundred guest rooms.    

    

"Mr Chu, this Lau Mansion is huge. There are many emperors among the younger generation." Fatty smacked his lips and said.    

    

Chu Yan nodded. That was true. There were many sovereigns below the age of thirty in Lau Mansion, and Lau Xi's current strength was also at the fifth level of the Sovereign realm. One should know that this kind of strength was absolutely at the level of a genius in the Dust, but it wasn't considered outstanding in the Ancient Demon Star Domain.    

    

"Hehe, Lau Xi has returned? What, did you pass this year's Li Huo Academy test?" As soon as Lau Xi and the other three returned to Lau Mansion, a young man walked towards them. He was slightly older than Lau Xi by one or two years. He immediately stopped Lau Xi and the other three.    

    

"Lau Jingtian, what a good dog! Don't block our way!" Lau Xi saw the young man's face, and his expression immediately became hostile.    

    

The young man called Lau Jingtian was also angry. He said with a faint smile, Lau Jingtian, what a good dog!" Little brother Lau Xi, no matter what, I'm still your elder brother, right? Why are you talking like that?"    

    

" Elder brother? Are you worthy?"    

    

"Hmph, don't get too agitated. There's no point in talking nonsense with me. I'm only here to tell you that the elders have already decided in a meeting today. I will remove your position as the elder of Grandpa, and soon your sister, Lau Qing, will marry Lo Yu through marriage. At that time, Lau Mansion will become a family with the Luo Prefecture. You'd better not resist anymore. You might as well do your sister's work. To be able to marry into the Lo family... This is a gift to Lau Qing."    

    

"My sister will never marry Lo Yu!" Lau Xi roared.    

    

"It's useless even if you don't agree. This is the rule. Humph! I advise you to be tactful. A wise man knows when to submit to circumstances. Now that the Lo family is flourishing, we can establish a relationship with them. This is the blessing of the Lau family. " Lau Jingtian said, then he looked at Chu Yan and the other two. "You three are friends of Lau Xi, right? Get out of here. Lau Mansion doesn't welcome you."    

    

"Lau Jingtian, you are going too far! The three of them are the guests I invited!" Lau Jingtian said coldly. "Let me tell you something. This Mr Chu is also a student of the Li Huo Academy. He has over 600 Fire Markings this year. You can't afford to offend a future Fire Marking Great Master."    

    

"So what if he is a student of the Li Huo Academy? More than 600? And a future Fire Marking Great Master? What a joke. I have already seen the list of people who will be taking the test this year. He should be that despicable Chu Yan from the stars, right? He's only sixty-seven, and Jiang Yan's examination this time is one thousand four hundred. Lo Yu had 1,300 of them, and in terms of Fire Pattern Great Master... He is also Jiang Yan and Lo Yu. Who does he think he is?"    

    

Lau Jingtian said disdainfully. Then, he looked at Lau Jingtian. "Kid, I can't stop you if you want to stay, but let me give you a piece of advice. It's not easy for you all to walk out of the despicable stars. It's not easy to cultivate, so don't create trouble for yourself. This is a critical moment for the Lau Mansion. You all better listen to me."    

    

After saying that, Lau Jingtian turned around and left. Chu Yan and the other two were speechless. Fatty laughed bitterly and said, "Mr Chu, do we have the word 'country bumpkin' written on our faces? Why are we looked down upon everywhere?"    

    

Chu Yan ignored Fatty and looked at Lau Xi. "Do we make it difficult for you to live here? Or else, we can go out and stay in a restaurant. "    

    

Lau Xi sighed. "I'm sorry, I dragged you guys into this. It's fine, you guys can stay in Lau Mansion. No matter what, I'm a direct descendant of Lau family, so I have the right to serve three people. "    

    

"Do you need help? If you need help, you can tell me." Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still asked.    

    

Lau Xi was stunned. He felt a little touched in his heart, but he still shook his head and sighed. "No need. You can't interfere in this matter. You guys have just come from the Little Star. In this half a year, you are staying in the Lau Mansion. You guys can leave after half a year."    

    

Chu Yan nodded his head. Since Lau Xi didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.    

    

Chu Yan and the other two temporarily stayed in Lau Mansion. At night, the sound of a zither could be heard in Lau Mansion. The sound of the zither was very beautiful, and it felt a little desolate. It echoed in the bamboo forest.    

    

Chu Yan frowned. He followed the sound of the zither and found a beautiful woman in the bamboo forest. The woman looked like she was in a painting, and she was extraordinarily beautiful.    

    

"What a touching sound of the zither!" Chu Yan couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped. A gentle voice of a woman came from afar, "Young master, you didn't sleep at night and hid outside the bamboo forest to spy on this little girl. Is there something wrong with the rules?"    

    

Chu Yan was stunned. He dared to guarantee that the girl in his position wouldn't be able to see him. However, the girl noticed him. Did he use the sound of the zither to determine the direction?    

    

"Miss, you have to atone for your crimes. It was just that you were moved by the beautiful sound of the zither late at night. I was curious, so I came here to investigate. I didn't mean to offend you." Since he had been discovered, Chu Yan walked out immediately.    

    

"Young Master, are you concerned about the distance?" The lady was wearing a white dress that was as white as snow. She raised her head and looked extremely beautiful, especially her pair of clear eyes that were as pure and clear as jade in water.    

    

"That's right. How did you know?" Chu Yan smiled bitterly and nodded. He was concerned about the future. Dust, Lau Qingcheng, and his parents.    

    

"This zither music is for people in the distance. Only those who have something to do with their heart and care about the distance will be attracted to it. It seems like this zither music is for those in the distance. It seems like only those who have something to do with it will be attracted to it. Young master..." The girl smiled lightly, "Little girl, Lau Qing, young master is..."    

    

"Lau Qing?" Chu Yan suddenly realized that this girl was Lau Xi's little sister. He replied with a smile, "Chu Yan, from afar."    

    

"I really wish I could have a look at the beautiful scenery in the distance. Unfortunately, I don't have the chance." Lau Qing said with a smile. Chu Yan frowned. "Miss, you are still so young. Why do you say you don't have the chance?"    

    

"Young master, you should sleep early. The zither music has disturbed you tonight. I hope you can forgive me!" Lau Qing's delicate body trembled. She suddenly put away the ancient zither.    

    

Lau Qing left, leaving Chu Yan to sigh helplessly. At this time, Lau Xi suddenly appeared beside him. He looked at the back of the woman with a painful expression. "Qing'er was born with peerless talent. But unfortunately, her parents were lost early. From the moment her parents passed away, she gave up on cultivating. She played the piano with all her heart, thinking of the people in the distance every day. The hateful thing was that... My parents aren't here, and as her older brother, I'm actually unable to protect her!"    

    

"Falling from the Lau Mansion, you want to test Lau Qing's marriage with the Lo family in exchange for the honor of the family?" Chu Yan glanced at Lau Xi, who nodded with a bitter smile. "It seems you have already guessed it."    

    

"Lo family has been thriving these few years. Lo Yu's father, Lo Tianya, has become even more famous. A Fifth Grade high grade Fire Mark Master was very famous in the eastern part of the Ancient Demon Star Domain. If it was just a marriage alliance, it would be fine. But this father and son pair coveted beauty, but Lo Tianya was still very old. He had to take into account his reputation. Therefore, he had no choice but to use Lo Yu's identity. He kept getting married and taking in concubines, but all the girls who married into the Lo family were humiliated by this father and son pair. The obedient girls were treated as slaves, and the disobedient girls took away their souls. Become a fake corpse and continue to toy with me!"    

    

"Now, has the Lo family set their eyes on Lau Qing?" Chu Yan asked.    

    

"En! Actually, this wasn't the most hateful thing. Ever since her parents passed away, qing'er had never left the Lau Mansion. So no one in the outside world knew about her. But not long ago, there were some people in the Lau Mansion who wanted to cling onto the Lo family. Lau Jingtian and his father were the same. They actually took the initiative to tell Lau Qing to the Lo family." Lau Xi roared furiously.    

    

"Selling a girl for glory, for survival. Such a family is really pitiful." Chu Yan finally understood all of this.    

    

"Why did you set the time to be half a year later?"    

    

"In half a year's time, the two families will have a Fire Pattern competition. When the time comes, if I can win, I will have the chance to reject this marriage." Lau Xi said seriously, "So I must work hard... even if I know it is impossible, I will definitely defeat Lo Yu."    

    

Chu Yan nodded and patted Lau Xi on the shoulder. "Cultivate well. I will definitely be able to."    

    

"Really?" Lau Xi smiled bitterly. Lo Yu was ranked second in the Li Huo Academy this time. He had 1,300 fire marks, but he had only barely made it into the top 100. Was it really possible to defeat Lo Yu?    

    

Chu Yan didn't say anything. This was a matter of Lau family after all, so he wasn't in a hurry to interfere. However, if Lau Xi said anything, he would probably help him. He hoped that the beautiful music could be so pure.
