Chapter 281: Legend of the Saint of the Guqin, the Heavenly Enchantress
Following that, Jian Chen rarely ventured out of his room and continued to cultivate. He could rarely be seen by the other members and would only occasionally spar with Qin Xiao.
He was always constantly reminded of Elder Wu who hadn't come to bother him any more. It was almost as if he had disappeared from the Tianqin clan and was no longer seen by Jian Chen.
This pattern continued for a month. With the assistance of the monster cores, Jian Chen was able to make a breakthrough to become a Peak Great Saint Master.
After, Jian Chen had spent another large amount of time to stabilize his newfound power and to eliminate any of the hidden dangers brought by the monster cores in his body. After all that was done, he continued to cultivate with the monster cores once more.
Soon, another half month had past. News of the Multicolored Stone had already lost its interest in the Tianqin clan since everyone had already forgotten about it.
Similarly, Ming Dong hadn't been idle and followed Jian Chen's lead by shutting himself in his room and earnestly cultivated his own strength with the help of a monster core.
Ten days later in the morning, Jian Chen finally opened the door to his room and walked out.
Looking at the nearby room of Ming Dong, Jian Chen could detect even behind the closed door a small and obscure fluctuation of energy; Ming Dong was still cultivating at this moment.
Slowly taking in a deep breath of the morning air, Jian Chen muttered, "We've been here for two months now. Not too long from now, the Tianqin clan will surely send men to Mercenary City." Looking at Qin Xiao's residence some distance away, Jian Chen hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to walk over. The definite time for when this would happen needed to be verified by Qin Xiao.
Just as Jian Chen was about to enter the isolated compound of Qin Xiao, a guard standing by the gates blocked him.
"Fellow brother, is Qin Xiao currently inside?" Jian Chen cupped his hands respectfully.
"The young lord went to the training grounds earlier, he is no longer inside his compound." The guard replied.
Afterward, Jian Chen headed for the training grounds. After these past few weeks, Jian Chen had traveled with Qin Xiao to the training grounds multiple times, so he was familiar with the way to the area.
Just as Jian Chen was crossing by a garden, the sweet melody of a guqin being played could be heard in a nearby pavilion. Almost as if the song had an enchanting ability, the moment anyone heard this melody would feel as if their heart strings were resonating along with the guqin.

The moment Jian Chen heard the sound of the guqin, he unconsciously stopped walking and turned to looked toward the source. He could only see a woman wearing a white colored pao robe with her back facing Jian Chen in the pavilion. Her jade white fingers could be seen dancing along the strings of the guqin as the sweet melodies rang throughout the area.
Walking toward the pavilion, Jian Chen quickly approached the back of the white robed woman. Her black hair hung behind her shoulders down to her back. A white veil covered her face so that Jian Chen couldn't see her appearance.
The part of the woman's face that could be seen could only be described as quite heavenly, almost devastatingly beautiful.
The woman playing the guqin was the second sister of the Tianqin clan.
