Chapter 1753 Tossed Aside Like Trash

"Do you mind giving us some space?" Yuan asked the guards surrounding them.

"B-but what if she attacks you?"

"I'll be fine. She won't be able to hurt me," said Yuan, his voice filled with confidence.

The guards exchanged looks with each other before backing away.

"You're looking for me, right? How can I help you?" Yuan started the conversation.

"I would like to verify your identity. Can you remove your mask for me?" Tan Songyun said after a moment of silence.

"Sorry, but I cannot reveal my face to a stranger. Can you introduce yourself first?" Yuan said.

Tan Songyun clenched her fists, but she played along and introduced herself, "My name is Tan Songyun, member of the Vengeful Fairies, once known as the Zither Goddess!"

'So it really is her…' Yuan thought to himself. He never thought he'd meet the Zither Goddess in the Fifth Heaven, and in such a weird fashion, no less.

"I see, but Lady Tan, what is my identity to you? Why do you need to confirm my identity?"

Tan Songyun suddenly removed the veil covering her beautiful features, revealing her ethereal face.

"I am looking for a man—someone who tossed me aside like trash after using me like a toy!" she declared in a cold voice.

Yuan's eyes widened with shock after hearing this. She was obviously looking for Tian Kai, but why would she say such awful things about Tian Kai, who clearly loved her?

"I-I see… so you're looking for someone who wronged you… but what does that have to do with me? Was the one who wronged you a Dragon Emperor? I can confidently say that I have never wronged anyone like you in my life…"

"No, the one who wronged me was a human."

"Then—"

"However, he also has many fake identities, and I wouldn't be surprised if a Dragon Emperor is one of those identities."

Tan Songyun lifted her arm to point at the zither in Yuan's grasp and continued, "There are only two individuals in this world who can play that Soul Ensnaring Zither. Me and that man."

"This zither?" Yuan caressed his fingers across the zither, playing beautiful notes. "It's just an instrument. How can there only be two people in the world who can play it?"

"It requires a special technique. Otherwise, it won't make any sounds," she explained.

"Ah, it was like that when I first found it, but after tinkering with it for a while, I managed to develop a technique for it," Yuan chuckled.

Tan Songyun's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, her patience running thin.

"I left that Soul Ensnaring Zither in the Lower Heavens. Why did a Dragon Emperor from the upper heavens like yourself visit such a place?"

"Really? I found it in the upper heavens, though."

"By the way, I never got your name," Tan Songyun suddenly said.

"My surname is Xiao."
