"Tan Songyun..." Yuan muttered in a low voice after Tian Kai’s memories came to an end.

Although Tan Songyun did not know of his reason for leaving, Yuan did.

’If the Celestial Emperor hadn’t found him, he would’ve definitely remained by her side for as long as possible...’ he sighed inwardly.

Nonetheless, he was quite shocked to learn of Tian Kai’s relationship with Tan Songyun, who would eventually become known as the Zither Goddess.

’Teacher and lover, huh? I wonder if she’s still looking for me...’ Yuan wondered as Li Luoyang’s performance reached its end.

There were still many unanswered questions, such as how Tian Kai and the Zither Goddess met in the first place, as he was told that they didn’t know each other by Song Ling’er.

He was told that the Zither Goddess had been born 25,000 years ago while the God of Music existed for millions of years.

What if Song Ling’er had been talking about a different God of Music? What if Tian Kai wasn’t the God of Music like he’d originally thought? These are questions that won’t be answered until he finds the Zither Goddess or regains more of Tian Kai’s memories.

"Thank you all for coming here today to witness my performance. I will return next month and have hopefully improved my skills by then." Li Luoyang gave the audience a respectful bow, causing the place to erupt with cheering and encouragement.

At the end of her performance, the light in the room slowly returned, and the workers there would go from table to table asking for payment.

Coincidentally, Yuan’s table was towards the exit, so Li Luoyang would be walking in his direction.

When Li Luoyang got close enough, Yuan subconsciously muttered, "For your first song, you should slow down a bit on the 51st, 88th, 109th, 171st, and 182nd note. Speed up on the 17th, 27th, 49th, 82nd, 122nd, and 251th note."

"Eh?" Li Luoyang halted her movements and glanced at Yuan with a shocked expression on her face.

Even without Yuan’s advice, Li Luoyang knew that she had misplayed several notes, but he’d also mentioned notes that even she didn’t realize she had messed up. Her performance was nothing short of perfect to the audience and she’s never received any complaints before, much less being corrected on a song that only she should know how to play, so one could imagine the surprise on her face.

’H-How does he...? It’s not as though I play ’The Old Dream’ often, either!’

And before she could respond, Yuan continued, "You’re the Zither Goddess’ disciple, aren’t you? If you have some time later, I would love to have a chat with you."

It wasn’t a secret that Li Luoyang had received guidance from the Zither Goddess, as it was part of her advertisement campaign, but with the way he spoke, Yuan made it sound like he didn’t know before today.

"Do you know my master?" Li Luoyang couldn’t help but ask him.

He nodded, "Somewhat."

"And what was your relationship with her?" she continued inquiring.

Yuan pondered for a moment and retrieved the Soul Ensnaring Zither before responding, "Our relationship is a bit difficult to explain."

"That’s the Soul Ensnaring Zither! Why do you have something like that on you?!" Li Luoyang nearly dropped the zither in her grasp when she saw the Soul Ensnaring Zither, something owned by the Zither Goddess.

As far as she was aware, the Zither Goddess had left the Soul Ensnaring Zither in the Lower Heavens, and only those who could play it could receive it.

’Does that mean he can play it...?’ Li Luoyang swallowed nervously at the thought of hearing the Soul Ensnaring Zither’s sound, as she had tried to play it before and failed miserably.

Seeing her expression, Yuan plucked one of the strings with a smile on his face. The moment he released the string, a heavenly note resonated throughout the building. Although it was just a simple, single note, it was filled with wonder and mystery.

The sound sent chills down Li Luoyang’s entire being.

After a brief moment of silence, she asked him, "Do you have time now? I’d like to invite you to my room."

Before he could even answer, Yuan felt a cold gaze behind his back.

It was Liang Xiaosheng, and he was giving him deadly stares for some reason.

However, such a question would be answered the very next moment.

"Lady Li! You mustn’t! You have a very important client today! He’s from the Azure Dragon Family!" One of the workers there reminded her of her schedule.

Li Luoyang sighed, "Young man, will you be staying here for long? Or you can come back later tonight when I am off work."

"Unfortunately, I have somewhere else that I need to be, so I won’t be here for long."

Li Luoyang began to contemplate. She didn’t want to offend the Azure Dragon Family, especially since her client was their former patriarch. However, she had been dreaming of hearing a song from the Soul Ensnaring Zither ever since she learned about it hundreds of years ago and didn’t want to miss the opportunity.

"..."

Liang Xiaosheng wasn’t someone who cared about money. He was more irritated at the fact that Li Luyang had chosen Yuan instead of him. However, since it was difficult to make an appointment with her even for someone like him, he decided to not make a scene there and just accept his free sessions.

After forcing a smile on his face, Liang Xiaosheng spoke, "Don’t worry about it. I have nothing but time on my hands since my retirement and the compensation is more than fair."

Meanwhile, Yuan sighed inwardly, ’Looks like it’ll become even more difficult to take his Ancient Seal without fighting...’
