*puff*

Tianzhu disappeared from the remote area earlier and reappeared again in an inn after saving his new (sworn) little brother, Xian Tian, who had his fate pretty much similar to him, after doing this good deed Tianzhu felt really fresh and happy.

~~~~~~

One week later

The hall in the corner of the street became very lively and crowded again. One could see every guys here were with happy and excited expression on their faces. Who wouldn't be happy if they could see the city's number one beauty, this time if one paid attention to this crowd one could see a lot of familiar and unfamiliar faces of people, the number one beauty was indeed lived up to her name, even people of another country came to this city just to listen to her zither and see her face. Unlike previously, this time Tianzhu came quite early but he still stood at the back because he didn't like this kind of crowded and noisy place, however, for the sake of hunting down Lin Xian'er he needed to endure.

Suddenly the crowd sensed something and turned their gazes to the to the road behind, what they saw made them became high and shocked, the crowd became dead silent, there was a group of celestial beauty clad in white plus the white veils covered their faces too, they were walking on their way toward the hall. There were totally five beautiful maidens, two in the front, the other two at the back and one in the middle, with just a glance the crowd could instantly guessed that the maiden clad in white with a veil on her face in the middle of the group must the Lin Xian'er, while seeing this scene, all the men here became stunt, 'What a top notch beauty, a goddess indeed'. Lin Xian'er was silently walking in the middle while carrying her Divine Celestial Zither on her back, Tianzhu was also silently standing at the back and he also silently gazed at her, he was also stunt and thought 'Hmm, she was indeed the number one beauty, she was even more beautiful than my Lang'er when she was in her youth, if Lin Xian'er become an immortal she would surly become even more beautiful than this at least hundred thousand times.'

A while later Lin Xian'er arrived inside the hall and then the other maidens immediately closed the curtain. Seeing this the crowded became disappointed but still none of them left the area, a few minutes later Lin Xian'er still didn't play her zither so the crowded became anxious and chatted to each other noisily, suddenly *Ding* *Ding* this was the sound of zither and it was also the sign to tell the crowd to silent.

"All Gong Zi, today Xian'er will play a song called Divine Fall of the Heavenly Flow." Said Lin Xian'er lightly to the crowd, although the sound was light but the crowd could clearly hear it, her sound was so gent, and divine like, the crowd almost went into illusion just because of this.

A few seconds later, Lin Xian'er started to play her song, the sound of her zither was so pure and very comfortable to the ears and spirit. The crowd became stunt and went in daze once again, this song was filled with caresses, sympathy and divinity, one could feel his soul was very excited and yearn for the love, suddenly they arrived in a beautiful land, filled with fresh and beautiful grasses, flowers, tress, lake and water fall and on a hill, one could see a celestial beauty sat on there while quietly playing her zither, her fingers were so flexible and beautiful, they were flowing beautifully with the notes of the song. If possible they wanted to stay here forever, watching this divine beauty playing the zither for the rest of their life, not waking up from this illusion.

Tianzhu was not an exception either, he silently stood on another hill while gazing at Lin Xian'er playing her zither, this song was indeed filled with pureness, it could heal and strengthen one's soul, and for Tianzhu his spirit became very free, his mind became very calm and filled with freedoms, he erased all of the thoughts inside his mind, right now he didn't think even a tiny bit thing, he only watched and listen to Lin Xian'er, not thinking of anything else.

Lin Xian'er skills in illusion was very special, when one went into her illusion, she could listen to one's thoughts, she could basically read one's mind, nothing could hide from her. However, right now there was a "Customer" of hers, whom she couldn't read his mind, he basically wasn't thinking about a thing, from when Lin Xian'er succeeded in training this skill, she met all kinds of people, there were quite a few people who piqued her interest, those people could prevent her from peering into their mind by using their own unique skills or abilities, also there were a type who couldn't prevent her from peering into their mind, however, all of them were very sincere and pure people, they never thought of even a tiny bit of bad things and didn't have any ill intentions or lusts.

However, she never met the type who didn't think of anything, because no matter who, they couldn't prevent their own mind from thinking, no matter how strong they were, but when one strong enough he could control his organs but not the mind, except for a newborn baby, the baby was like a pure white paper, they didn't know anything, they couldn't think about anything, they even didn't know what the word think is, they could only breath and sleep.

She also tried to read a baby's mind before but she found out that a baby couldn't think of anything, their mind was especially pure, but now she met an adult who had his mind like that of a baby, he didn't think of anything, only listened and watched her song, it was like he could control his own mind, but she didn't know that she was wrong about this, Tianzhu didn't control his own mind but instead, he freed his own mind, freed his thoughts, like freed a bird from its cage, the cage became empty but it didn't mean that the cage couldn't put the birds inside anymore, like Tianzhu's mind, although he freed all of his thoughts it didn't mean that he couldn't think anymore, it was similar to temporary freed one's own pet to go for a walk but that pet will eventually come back and would have the same character and personality.

Upon seeing this, she became very interested in Tianzhu, the song was almost end but she purposely expanded it so she could test Tianzhu's skill, then she suddenly changed the rhythm and attacked him instead.

When Tianzhu saw a bunch of attacks flew toward him, he chuckled lightly and raised his index finger then tapped gently in the air, and then all of sudden, the attacks that were flying frowzily in midair suddenly dissipated into thin air like there was nothing in the first place. When Lin Xian'er saw this she frowned and her eyes suddenly lit up, then she attacked Tianzhu again by raising the speed of the song, and this time the attacks were much more than before and it was also a ten folds stronger than before too, however Tianzhu didn't chuckle this time, he also didn't use his finger to tap the air this time either, he just glanced at it with a tranquil expression and he blinked his eyes once but after that one blink, those attacks also disappeared with the blink of his eyes too, like he could directly erase those attacks by blinking his eyes.

Lin Xian'er became stunt and went in daze for a while, suddenly she looked at the hill where Tianzhu was standing "Sir was too powerful, Xian'er couldn't afford to attack anymore, may Xian'er know sir's noble name?"

When Tianzhu heard this he lightly smiled "I'm just a nobody, not worth of your attention, I just came here because I heard of your incredible reputation of zither and illusion, so I want to see it with my own eyes."

"You must be joking with Xian'er, no nobody was powerful like you, even if you're a hidden expert you must also be famous in the past too, so I'm sure that sir is not a nodody. Also, after sir saw my skills, what is your opinion about it?"

"Hmm, I'm really a nobody, just trust me. But about your skills of zither and illusion, both were indeed good, but not enough, it couldn't satisfy me completely, however base on your talent, maybe you could make me satisfy one hundred percent in the near future, but it also depends on what techniques you're going to learn too. Your song was self-created right?"

"Yes, it was created by me, it seems sir is very knowledgeable about music too?"

"Not much, I just know a bit about music. Your song was indeed good, but there's still a few flaws, to be able to create a song with a few flaws like this is very great though."

"Flaws? But my master said that my song has no flaws, it was perfect. However, if sir says so, please enlighten Xian'er."

"Don't take my words as offense, I could say that your master was still an amateur regarding about music, I could tell that most your skills were inherited from your master, and your master learned it from a secret manual that she found it by chance, am I right?"

"Y-y-yes, it is indeed as sir said. But how did sir know about this?"

"Hmm, this could be said that it wasn't any secret toward me, I also know about this skill but the perfect and complete version one. Don't ask about this, but I can give you pointers about your self-create song a bit, if you change the line "Light of the heaven shone on the stone of a celestial mountain" to "Light of the stone shone in the middle of heaven" instead, the line "Heaven dropped the petals in the summer" to "Heaven dropped the petals in the snowy winter" instead, the line "The moon flow, the heaven still" to "The rainbow flows till the heaven's edge" and lastly the line "Shiny night, fall the moonlight" to "Shiny night while moonlight flows, heaven flash make the couple last" instead, then this song will become perfect and I can guarantee that this song will become a tier 5 song that equal to that of a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant Realm cultivation technique."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian'er's eyes became lit up and she suddenly changed all of the lines like Tianzhu told, and to her astonishment the result was too godly, too inconceivable, this song can now be use to attack a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant Realm cultivator early level, after changing those lines, the song weirdly formd its own mandate and spirit, as this meant that it jumped from a tier 3 song to a tier 5 song that could attack a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant Realm cultivator, raising one's level of song was not an easy matter, one needed to have a tremendous knowledge of music and words, also one needed to have a strong soul and cultivation, if one didn't have a strong enough soul power and cultivation and he/she forcefully raise a song's level, his/her astral core would shatter and that would be a very troublesome matter.

After playing the newly improved version Divine Fall of the Heavenly Flow, Lin Xian'er turned her gaze to Tianzhu again, she saw his being and figure but she couldn't see his facial appearance clearly. Just as she was about to say something Tianzhu said to her instead "We'll meet outside if you don't mind it."

"Yes, I would like to see you too."

Then Tianzhu instantly disappeared from his standing spot, upon seeing this Lin Xian'er became shocked once again, if one wanted to get out of the other people's illusion world, the only way to get out was to defeat the illusion creator, or forcefully break the illusion by fighting, however Tianzhu could get out of this illusion without doing a thing to her or her illusion.

'Just how powerful is he?' thought Lin Xian'er. Then she also left the illusion world.

The crowd also left the illusion world but they left since the time Lin Xian'er found Tianzhu, however the crowd haven't left the street corner yet, they wanted to wait for Lin Xian'er to come out first.

Suddenly the curtain opened up and Lin Xian'er walked out of the hall and she looked to crowd as if she was finding someone. When some guys saw this their eyes immediately lit up, they tried to followed her gaze and finally she gazed at a certain direction and coincidently, the crowd saw a familiar person, he wore a silver robe with a dragon image on his robe, with his hands behind his back, his expression was calm as if he was sure that he was the one who Lin Xian'er was currently gazing at, "Omg, he is they city lord's son, also a genius of Royal Sacred Sect Ji Shuliang, wow Lin Xian'er was looking at him? But when did he come back to the city?" someone shouted.

The crowd all knew who Ji Shuliang was, he was a proud son of the city lord, he was also a top genius. Two years ago, he passed the test of Royal Sacred Sect and successfully became an inner disciple, he was also one of the top genius of that sect.

"Wow, but why did Lin Xian'er looking for him? Did they know each other? Surely they must be acquainted with each other, they were both the top genius. He was very lucky huh!"

Then Lin Xian'er walked off the hall and she walked toward Ji Shuliang direction. When ji shuliang saw this, he became very proud and he smiled widely. When Lin Xian'er arrived in front of him about 0.5 meters, he became very excited "It's a pleasure to meet you, fairy Xian'er", he tried to pretend to be very humble and good manner, Lin Xian'er nodded at him and said "It's nice to meet you sir, please follow Xian'er to a place where we can talk privately." Then he walked toward Lin Xian'er and just as Ji Shuliang was about to say something, Lin Xian'er continued to walked forward and the she walked passed him and he saw another guy whose appearance wasn't any worse than him (Just his own shameless thought) clad in white, and Ji Shuliang seemed to sense something was not right.

"It's nice to see you too, fairy Lin Xian'er." Tianzhu said and nodded with a smile.

"Please" Lin Xian'er gestured and Tianzhu followed her.

Upon seeing this Ji Shuliang became stunt, the crowd became stunt, but when Ji Shuliang woke up from this stunt, his expression became very ugly, when the crowd saw him they also realized that they were wrong from the start. Lin Xian'er was finding another person but this guy just stood in front of the other guy, that's all, the crowd couldn't hold it anymore and they burst into laughter, this scene was kind of funny, the guy thought he was the one who Lin Xian'er was talking to, he even wanted to follow her, haha what a clown.

"SHUT UP, OR I KILL YOU" he shouted at the surrounding with killing intent, this was his true shameless face and personality.

When the crowd sensed this they immediately shut up and covered their mouth *Hiss* 'This guy's cultivation was at 6th Level Heavenly Dipper' shocked the crowd.
