1697 Treasure!


    Shocked, Chu Liuyue’s pupils constricted, and her heart was in her throat!


    However, the water droplet did not go far. It just floated quietly in front of her.


    Although the surrounding light was dim, the water droplet was still dazzling.


    “Don’t worry. Now that it has acknowledged you as its master, I naturally won’t take it back.” The person on the other end of the line sounded teasing.


    Chu Liuyue rxed and calmed herself down. Then, she cupped her fists and bowed respectfully to the person opposite her. “I lost myposure for a moment. Please forgive me, Senior.”


    She was now certain that this person was indeed this water droplet’s previous owner!


    Nobody had ever been able to summon this water droplet away so easily! This was really her senior!


    The other partyughed again. “It’s your opportunity to obtain this thing. I’m no longer its master; it’s just that I’ve not seen it for too long and miss it.”


    As the figure spoke, Chu Liuyue saw the water droplet shake gently. Then, it gradually turned into a transparent page!


    No, it was no longer transparent at this moment. On it, several colorful streams of light were flowing slowly and brightly.


    Chu Liuyue was slightly dazed. This thing… So it was a music score? For the past few years, I had no idea at all.


    As if reading her mind, the person opposite her smiled and said, “This is only one of the pages. There’s only a small section of iplete music score on it that can’t be yed, so it’s normal that you don’t recognize it.”


    Chu Liuyue nodded in understanding, but she was still rather surprised.


    As early as she had obtained this thing, she could tell that it seemed to be a page forcefully torn from a book. She had many guesses about its origin, but she didn’t expect it to be… a music score!


    “I thought you would’vee long ago. I didn’t expect it to take so long.” As that person spoke, their fingertips twitched.


    A transparent book suddenly appeared out of thin air—it was overflowing with light!


    Chu Liuyue’s eyes hurt from the light, and she subconsciously turned her face away and narrowed her eyes. However, she didn’t raise her hand to shade her eyes. She would rather endure the pain and stare at the book, for fear of missing anything.


    She did not need to think to know that this book must be the music score that the other party had mentioned previously!


    That broken page must belong to this book!


    “I’ve stored this music score with me for many years. Now, I can finally find a new master for it.”


    Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat!


    All this time, she had wanted to find the rest of the pages, but she had never had the chance. She didn’t expect all of this to be ced in front of her now!


    “However, this book is actually notplete.”


    The other party’s sudden change of topic made Chu Liuyue’s heart sink slightly.


    “Back then, everyone was trying to snatch it, so I tore this good music score into three parts. Other than the two pages here, even I don’t know where the remaining one is now.” The figure shook their head in apparent regret.


    When Chu Liuyue heard this, she inexplicably felt that something was wrong. Back then? Tried to snatch it? This music score…


    Hang on! A white light suddenly shed across Chu Liuyue’s mind! Ancestor previously said that tens of thousands of years ago, the shocking battle in which legendary warriors fell seemed to be… for a book! Could it be this is it?!


    “This is it.” The person smiled faintly.


    Chu Liuyue was shocked. I clearly didn’t say anything just now, and my expression was controlled to be very calm, so why does the other party seem to know everything about me?


    “This is my ce, so I can naturally pry into some of your thoughts. However, you don’t have to worry too much. I can only sense a portion of it, and it’s basically rted to my music score. As for the other thoughts you’ve hidden deep… It’s difficult for me to know. Of course, I’m not interested in those.”


    Only then did Chu Liuyue heave a sigh of relief.


    She had no doubt about that. With the other party’s strength, it wouldn’t take much effort to deal with her.


    There was no need to beat around the bush.


    “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you, Senior.” Chu Liuyue’s attitude was very proper as she bowed politely. She knew very well that it was useless to y any tricks in front of someone of this level.


    It was better to be frank.


    But this time, the waves in her heart did not stop for a long time.


    It could be seen how precious this music score was to attract so many true gods and even legendary warriors to fight for it!


    Previously, she was still sighing with emotion, but she never expected that the treasure—which had once caused chaos in the world—was actually on her! Although it was only an iplete part, there were many cultivators in the world who wanted this iplete page but couldn’t find it!


    At the thought of this, Chu Liuyue’s heart raced, and her blood seemed to be boiling!


    She had long known that this thing wasn’t ordinary, but after knowing the truth, she was still shocked!


    …


    Chu Liuyue’s reaction seemed to satisfy the other party.


    “Although this music score was divided into three back then, there’s still a connection between them. Since the one in your hand was the first to awaken and let you be its master, the remaining two will naturally obey you and respect you.”


    “The third page has been lost for a long time. We probably won’t be able to find it for a while. Let’s not talk about it for now; just take my share first.”


    Actually, Chu Liuyue had already guessed the other party’s n, but she was still a little surprised when she heard this. Such a treasure was actually… handed to me so easily?


    “You don’t have to feel burdened. Although I’m its old master, I’m only a remnant consciousness stored in this music score now. Even if this music score isplete, there’s no meaning in leaving it with me. The reason I’ve endured until now is that I’m waiting for its new master to appear.” The other party paused.


    Chu Liuyue immediately sensed a gaze on her, and she immediately tensed.


    “Which means—you!”


    Chu Liuyue clenched her fists tightly. “So… you were the one who kept luring me here with the sound of the zither?”


    “That’s right. Unfortunately, those people have been pestering you and wasting a lot of time. It’s really annoying.”


    Chu Liuyue could hear a hint of impatience in the other party’s voice.


    “But I’ve already chased them all elsewhere. At the very least, they won’t disturb you again until you’ve fused these two music scores.”


    At this point, Chu Liuyue finally understood. The only thing I have to do now is integrate these two music scores like the other party has said! They’re just two portions, so it shouldn’t be… difficult, right?


    As Chu Liuyue thought about it, she immediately cupped her fists and bowed to the other party. “Thank you for your generous gift, Senior—”


    “Don’t be happy too early.” The other party interrupted her with a smile. “It won’t be toote to thank me when you really do it.”
