Mei Niang turned into a light and flew for the Misty Pavilion.
Inside, there was no one.
No, there was actually someone still around.
Mei Niang noticed Chen Changan on stage, sound asleep, and still as unimpressive as ever.
Because Mei Niang knew him somewhat, she could determine he was a Dao Saint.
That incredible and terrifying expert could not be anyone other than this youth in white.
Mei Niang harboured doubts at first, but not anymore. It was the ruined wooden zither in front of him that cemented her decision.
Having used it before, it contained a trace of her Immortal Dao. As a powerful and mighty Immortal Lord, that small trace was beyond what a Golden Core cultivator, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator, could do so much damage to it.
Chen Changan was beyond plain, with low cultivation, but appearances were most definitely deceiving.
[It’s a disguise for sure! He’s that grand expert, a Dao Saint!]
She hesitated before coming closer, facing this grand persona that improves her cultivation. Mei Niang held nothing but respect for him. “Thank you, Senior, for your assistance.”
In the peaceful and tranquil Misty Pavilion, only Chen Changan’s light breathing was heard.
[Is Senior sleeping?] Mei Niang understood that the Dao Saint had a weird personality from the earlier events. Quite natural, actually.
Mei Niang let him be, waiting at the side in silence.
Chen Changan lay on the stage without any decorum to speak of.
With the Dragonised City’s crisis lifted, Misty Pavilion’s girls came back.
Mei Niang whispered, “I can’t let them disturb Senior.”
A force made sure to keep the girls outside.
Despite being spent and exhausted, Chen Changan’s sleep was not that great, waking up in the middle of the night. [The damn stage is too hard and uneven.]
He noticed Mei Niang by his side. “Mei Niang, what are you doing here?”
[Didn’t the Enchantress leave? Why is she back? Is the danger over, or did she want me to point out her zither skills still?] The ruined wooden zither caught his attention. Chen Changan felt awkward; he ruined her zither.
[Does she want compensation?]
In the dead of night, only they occupied the large Misty Pavilion.
Chen Changan could even catch her scent, natural and soothing. Scratching his head, he was still confused.
“Mei Niang, I’ve made the mistake of ruining the wooden zither. I’ll be sure to pay for it.”
Mei Niang startled, quickly shook her head, speaking with extreme respect.
“Senior, it’s just a wooden zither. I must thank Senior instead, for saving Dragonised City and helping me improve my cultivation.”
Chen Changan’s eyes widened.
[She knows I was the one that played! But what’s that about helping her cultivation? Nothing to do with me.]
But Chen Changan figured it out. He used Immortal Solution and Special Effects when playing.
As Mei Niang and Xie Bo fought, the music entered their bodies, and the Immortal Solution was absorbed by her.
[Is that why she advanced? Got to be. It broke my cover as well, to the point that this pretty enchantress calls me Senior. Not even laying low can hide my outstanding aura.] Chen Changan smiled, and his eyes fell on Mei Niang.
Through the music, Chen Changan sensed Mei Niang and Xie Bo’s battle, their strength, and their Immortal Daos.
Since Chen Changan had met so many Immortals, even Dao Protectors, gauging their level was easy.
