Chapter 528 - Blissful Melody Scripture

Yin Jingwu was in the Astral River Realm, and no one stopped him from acting against Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie stayed alert, tension thickening the air around them. If necessary, he could hide Chen Ruoyan and Jian Xing'er in the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, just as he had done with Gu Yu in the sea whirlpool. He could then eliminate Yin Jingwu and find a way to escape Serene Sea City.

Suddenly, a powerful shockwave rippled through the space, sending tables and chairs flying.

"Stop this at once!" A commanding voice rang out from the second floor. A woman dressed elegantly appeared, her presence immediately drawing attention and halting the impending conflict.

"It's Lady Yan! She's the personal maid of Lady Murong!" Whispers spread among the crowd as they recognized her. Lady Yan was known for managing the House of Tea Art's affairs, including delivering messages for her mistress.

"Lady Yan, this man injured a disciple of my Azure Crimson Gate, and I can't let this matter go. Please allow me to finish my business. I will personally apologize to Lady Murong after that." Yin Jingwu cupped his fists together at the woman in a polite tone.

"The feud between you two has nothing to do with me. My lady has given the word that this place prohibits any fights. If Young Master Yin insists on fighting, you will be barred from House of Tea Art." Lady Yan showed no mercy even to Yin Jingwu and warned that anyone would be banned if they resorted to violence there.

This punishment was severe, and Yin Jingwu glared at Liu Wuxie fiercely.

"This kid injured someone, and shouldn't he be crippled according to the teahouse's rules?" Yin Jingwu asked. Since he couldn't attack personally, he could only use the teahouse's rules against Liu Wuxie.

All eyes turned to Lady Yan, waiting for her response. After all, they had all witnessed Liu Wuxie injuring Cheng Chen earlier. Even though Cheng Chen’s injury wasn't severe, it didn't change the fact that Liu Wuxie had used force.

"The lady said this young master acted in self-defense and didn't violate the teahouse's rules. However, Cheng Chen has caused trouble here repeatedly, and he will be barred from House of Tea Art starting today." Lady Yan glanced at Liu Wuxie, nodding at him before placing Cheng Chen on the blacklist.

"No!" Hearing that House of Tea Art blacklisted him, Cheng Chen went mad and rushed over to Lady Yan. But before he could even get close, a powerful wave of energy swept over.

An old woman appeared behind Lady Yan, holding a cane, and unleashed an even more terrifying force that sent Cheng Chen flying away. Being barred from House of Tea Art meant he couldn't enjoy the expensive tea here or listen to the mesmerizing music.

"Throw him out!" A few ugly women emerged from the shadows. That's right, they were hideous. They threw Cheng Chen and his friends out.

With that, this farce ended in a way that surprised Liu Wuxie. He was baffled as to why the mysterious owner behind the House of Tea Art would help him.

"We deeply apologize for what happened earlier. To make up for it, we will give everyone a pot of Jade Bamboo Dew for free." Lady Yan's calm voice spread through the room as she glanced at the chaotic scene.

"Lady Yan, you're too kind!" Everyone was excited to drink the Jade Bamboo Dew for free.

Liu Wuxie stood up to leave.

It was easy to judge a person by their voice, and the owner of such a beautiful voice wouldn't be unattractive. Many young prodigies felt their bones becoming mush and closed their eyes to savor the voice.

"Lady, please don't misunderstand. The tea and music are great, but I have other matters. I will visit again if I have time in the future." Liu Wuxie cupped his fists together at the teahouse to show his apology.

"Since you have matters to attend to, I won't keep you around. I hope you can revisit the teahouse in the future." The pleasant voice echoed again, allowing Liu Wuxie to leave without further pressing.

"For sure!" Liu Wuxie cupped his fists together. This time, Lady Yan didn't block his way and allowed them to leave, disregarding the mockeries in the surroundings.

Liu Wuxie had a growing suspicion that the teahouse was far from ordinary, but he wasn’t interested in probing further. If it had been a typical place, he wouldn’t have hesitated to meet Lady Murong. However, he decided against it, trusting his instincts.

After leaving the teahouse, the trio quickened their pace. They weaved through a few streets to shake off any pursuers before they finally stopped.

"Brother Liu, Lady Murong's voice is really beautiful," Chen Ruoyan said enviously. Each word she spoke was melodious to the ears.

"This is the first time I’ve heard a voice like that," Jian Xing'er added, her expression still showing signs of surprise. But she also felt uneasy. If even she and Chen Ruoyan were affected by Lady Murong’s voice, it was no wonder men would be easily enchanted.

"She has cultivated the Blissful Melody Scripture, and each word is imbued with bliss, making it impossible for others to resist," Liu Wuxie said. He had already guessed from the first word from Lady Murong that she had cultivated the Blissful Melody Scripture.

This technique wasn't rare in the Celestial Realm; many women liked cultivating it. He was baffled because of its appearance in the True Martial Continent. He wondered if the True Martial Continent had some form of relationship with the Celestial Realm.

"I see... but it's astonishing that such a strange technique exists in the world," Chen Ruoyan remarked in disbelief. The idea that someone could refine their voice to such an extent seemed almost unbeatable.

Even the deepest grudges could be soothed with just a few words, and unless one possessed an exceptionally strong will, resisting the power of the Blissful Melody Scripture would be impossible.

"There are so many prodigies in the House of Tea Art. Can it be that they're unaware of it?" Jian Xing'er asked curiously.

"This technique was long lost, and few remember it. Even if they do, who would give it much thought? It's human nature to be drawn to beauty," Liu Wuxie explained. Listening to melodious voices and elegant zither music was part of life's pleasures.

"Brother Liu, did you leave quickly because you realized that the person behind the House of Tea Art isn’t ordinary, and you didn’t want to get too involved?" Chen Ruoyan asked, piecing together his reasoning. After all, Liu Wuxie had declined the invitation to the second floor.

"That's right!" Liu Wuxie nodded. He had already achieved his purpose to help them grow by bringing them out.

"There's an inn up ahead. Let's rest for the night and explore tomorrow!" The trio chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the city's center, where a massive inn appeared. They paid a hundred thousand spirit stones and rented an individual courtyard for three days.

The trio was startled by the high costs in Serene Sea City. Ordinary people couldn’t afford it, but Liu Wuxie wasn’t concerned. After eradicating the Teng Clan, he had obtained their vast wealth and resources.
