Chapter 242: There's another mission?
Liu Yu understood, but she didn't ask any more questions and became even more cautious, not daring to say anything recklessly.
She wasn't stupid, and neither was Bai Feier. Liu Yu had asked her before how she got the sacred sword at her waist, but Bai Feier refused to say, saying, "You must not pry into the origin of this item." This immediately intimidated Liu Yu.
Because the Bai family couldn't possibly have such a treasure to make Bai Feier's sword.
Throughout the entire Sunflame Dynasty, only the royal family possesses Saint-grade magic weapons. Rumors circulate that Saint-grade supreme treasures, and even quasi-Emperor-grade ones, exist within the Dynasty's Great Secret Realm, but no one has ever seen one. Most believe it's merely gossip spread by the Sunflame royal family to encourage the talented individuals entering the Great Secret Realm. However, Liu Yu has seen Saint-grade items and yearns to possess one of her own. Bai Feier, who has never left the Sunflame Dynasty, seems to have had far more "adventures" than Liu Yu.
This made her, her "good little sister" who used to look up to Bai Feier but whose cultivation level had surpassed hers by only a small margin, curious.
Where did my dear sister get her holy sword?
For Liu Yu, the answer is now obvious.
Nine times out of ten, it was given by this "Young Master Gu".
Furthermore, Bai Feier clearly introduced Gu Heng and his disciple as "mortals," and the person in question didn't even try to refute it, as if Bai Feier's assertion that he was a mortal meant he was.
How could Liu Yu not understand?
Young Master Gu absolutely did not want others to expose that he was acting like a "mortal".
Although Liu Yu never quite understood why such a powerful person would choose to live like an ordinary person, she didn't care. Perhaps she hadn't reached that level yet.
When the time comes, Liu Yu will see if she can resonate with others.
"So you two know each other?"
Upon seeing Bai Feier, Gu Heng relaxed and readily sat down at the table, pouring a cup of tea for everyone present.
"This is my good sister. However, a few years ago, she caught the attention of an elder from Qianyin Valley who was recruiting new disciples. He thought she was a promising talent and took her back to Qianyin Valley to train her properly."
Bai Feier chuckled and revealed her relationship with Liu Yu.
Anyway, there's nothing to hide.
Seeing that Gu Heng had already poured the tea, Liu Yu was somewhat flattered, but she still sat down and drank with him.
They're being so kind; there's no reason to refuse. "Ah, although I'm not an expert in music, judging from Miss Liu's performance just now, even someone as ignorant as me can tell that Miss Liu's skill level is definitely not bad, and her future is surely limitless!"
Liu Yu was overjoyed. Such a powerful figure had affirmed her musical arts, which was of extraordinary significance!
"Young Master Gu, you flatter me greatly. I am but a novice..."
Gu Heng spoke with utmost sincerity.
After all, Gu Heng didn't understand music at all, and the system had no intention of teaching him. Although he wanted to play music himself, he simply couldn't.
This is what happens when someone is stupid.
After several rounds of tea and having finished their conversation, and with the little girl also wanting to leave, Gu Heng bid farewell to Liu Yu and Bai Feier. Before departing, he took out a musical score.
"This time it's unfamiliar, the second time it's familiar, so I'll also give Miss Liu a small gift as a memento." He handed the musical score to Liu Yu.
"This is……"
Liu Yu found it strange, but she still took it and opened it. The whole thing was filled with rather obscure and complex musical patterns, which she could hardly understand.
"A musical score, which I found by chance. I don't understand these things myself, but Miss Liu does, so I'll just give it to you."
Gu Heng was actually lying.
This untitled musical score is from the system's shop, but it's quite special. The system notes that "the prerequisite for using this item is 'knowledge of music.' Since the host does not know music, it is recommended to give it to someone else."
This system is really good. To prevent him from getting stuck on something and going to learn music, it bluntly told him that he should just give this thing away.
That's great. So great that Gu Heng curses the system one more time every night before bed.
"If Miss Liu is interested in the music above, then take it. If you don't need it, you can use it as a table leg."
Gu Heng appeared generous and magnanimous.
Since it's all at the expense of the system, whatever happens is right.
Of course, he couldn't just say that this thing was from the system store and was worthless to him; if he said that, people would probably think he was a fool.
Liu Yu carefully put away the nameless musical score and nodded: "Then thank you, Young Master Gu!"
Gu Heng left with Qin Yiyao.
The two best friends continued their conversation, even though it was already late at night.
"Truly exquisite... This score incorporates profound techniques of some kind of musical theory; I can only understand less than one ten-thousandth of it!"
Liu Yu stared intently at the first page of the nameless musical score for a good two or three hours before reluctantly closing the cover. She simply couldn't explain how sophisticated this object truly was.
But she only understood a tiny bit, and Liu Yu felt that her musical style had become somewhat...distorted.
"Whatever he gives you will never be bad. Keep it safe and don't let anyone else know about it."
Bai Feier gave her instructions.
Since Gu Heng gave her a strange object, it means that she is also one of those who know the "secret".
"Well, I see!"
Liu Yu nodded quickly.
They both knew, of course, that the "thing Gu Heng picked up casually" probably came from some extremely dangerous place or some ancient secret realm.
Since we have this opportunity, we shouldn't waste it.
……
Meanwhile, in a private room at Yunxiang Tower, with the lights off, Gu Heng lay listlessly on the bed, wondering where he should go tomorrow.
The system interface popped up.
"Ok??"
Gu Heng's eyes widened in surprise.
This system interface has never appeared like this since it came into existence. It will never appear unless Gu Heng actively calls it up.
What's going on today?
The system interface flickered, then stopped, and a text message appeared—
"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission 'Change of Music' and successfully correcting the causality of the damaged 'Cosmic Sound Destiny Star'. Keep up the good work!"
What does this mean?
Gu Heng was momentarily stunned.
When did this system issue any tasks? And he even completed a task he wasn't aware of?
