"Hey, Yuan, before you leave, can we play the zither again for a bit?" Fei Yuyan suddenly asked him after a moment of awkward silence.

"Of course." He immediately agreed.

"Let's do it at my backyard like we used to."

"Okay."

Fei Yuyan turned to look at Elder Shan and said, "I'm sorry, Master, but I will end my training early today."

"Do as you please." Elder Shan nodded.

Yuan then followed Fei Yuyan back to her living quarters.

Once they were in the backyard, they sat down beside each other with their zither out.

"The Soul Ensnaring Zither? What happened to the Divine-grade zither you obtained at the competition?" Fei Yuyan asked him.

"Oh, that thing? I sold it." Yuan casually said.

"Y-You sold a Divine-grade treasure…?" Fei Yuyan's eyes widened with disbelief.

"I didn't need it since I already have the Soul Ensnaring Zither, and I needed the money back then." Yuan shrugged.

"But the Soul Ensnaring Zither isn't really a treasure…"

"While that is true, it still performs the same if not a little better than the Divine-grade zither."

"In the end, it's not like I will be using it as a weapon, so it really doesn't matter to me."

"I guess so…"

"Anyways, which song should we play first?" Yuan then asked.
