Chapter 14 (1/2)
A Nan Ke Dream
Pang Wan makes the firm decision to never pass on pick-up skills to Gu Xi Ju ever again, this person really is a plank of decayed wood that cannot be carved
But she still wishes to continue discussing about Sang Chan with Gu Xi Ju, after all, only by getting a clear idea of what finer details the eous to her ‘Mary Sue feram’, in the days to come
Today she is currently looking in theable to spot a trace of heavenly poise like a “fragiletre in the wind”, when she suddenly hearsoff to the banquet soon, are you not going to hurry up?”
She hastily holds up her skirt and heads out,
Pang Wan obviously knohat kind of a look that is, that is an ‘I really don’t like you, but cannot do anything about it for now’ feeling of abomination Very soon does she find the cause of such an expression —— receiving special treatain, everyone else rides their own horses, only she alone has been arranged to sit inside Gu Xi Ju’s carriage
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Gu Xi Ju sees her sitting in the carriage, looking all around without saying a word, and could not help saying so
Pang Wan casts a glance at hi: “Aren’t you the Supreme Chief of Wu Lin, why do you still need to sit in such a pae……?”
Gu Xi Ju had not yet gotten the chance to open his mouth, when maid B’s ice cold voice had already intercepted frouished faold, not someone that any commoner can compare to!”
Pang Wan does not say anything, and only turns her back onher face as she bares her teeth and waves her claws (i maid B’s words, when she mouths up to the word “co to her own face
Gu Xi Ju bursts out laughing, his hand reaching out to knock onto her forehead: “Nonsense”
Pang Wan pouts, obediently clieside
The journey to the banquet is very long, Gu Xi Ju did not speak to her anyh the letters in hand, presuo, all those papers had already yellowed
He looks at theh he wants to have all those words and sentences imprinted in his heart
Pang Wan observes hi, this truly is an extrenani, proud but not conceited, his appearance included, all is perfectly right —— it is only unfortunate that it just so happens, he had already been taken by senior first
As she keeps thinking about it, she truly feels unwilling to give in at heart, suddenly blurting out a line of question: “Does Supreer brother, a paternal or er male cousin?”
Who knows? Sheto solely her
Gu Xi Ju raises his eyes to look at her, a lock of black hair hanging down from his forehead: “No”
Pang Wan’s heart was hit with disappoint: “A nepheill also do”
Gu Xi Ju shakes his head: “I’m the family’s only child, no brothers or sisters”
It took great difficulty to come up with a way out, only to have it coh, her numbed body lazily plops onto the soft seat like a snake
“What made you suddenly ask that?” Gu Xi Ju places down the letters in hand, quietly gazing at her
“If, if……” Pang Wan buries her face into the seat pad, gruer brother……”
“What if I did?”
In the next ot up towards the soft seat, both his arms propped onto the sides as he loo doards her
Pang Wan was not willing to raise her head, her speech unclear as she says: “I will, I will……”
In the end, the other half of her words were not heard, and so Gu Xi Ju inches his head even closer, it comes to no surprise that his lock of black hair would brush onto the girl’s round shoulders Casually pushi+ng away that lock of annoying hair, he once again pursues her words: “En?”
“Supreme Chief, we’re here!” The ice cold voice sounds from outside
At the same tihtning speed, but sees the two people inside the carriage with a cal at their respective sides in a civil manner
Tch, she inwardly scoffs, snappily saying to Pang Wan: “Get off!”
Each and every lantern is lit inside the hall, the maid per Wan alone, so Pang Wan very clearly sensesablaze
On the contrary, maid A is very calm, she stands at the doors with her head proudly raised, and even deliberately lends Pang Wan a supporting hand when she walks by, frightening Pang Wan into inspecting if there is anything off on her as soon as she steps inside, in the end, she finds that she was being too narrowup
The atrand, with around a hundred or so people participating, each and every one displaying the lofty bearing of ns docility with her head bowed as she follows after Gu Xi Ju, whilst her eyes looks past her lashes as she quietly observes her surroundings
“No need to guess, all are leaders of different sects” Someone says above her head
Looking up, she sees a s
Gu Xi Ju had already taken a seat at this ti Wan and Bai Xiao Sheng stands behind at the left and right side of him respectively, just like the youthful door Gods, Golden Boy and Jade Maiden[1]
Taking advantage of theWan asks Bai Xiao Sheng in a very quiet voice: “Is it a Wu Lin ?”
Bai Xiao Sheng shakes his head, answering Pang Wan with the same voice level: “No, it is a seasonal report summary”
With just one clear sound of Gu Xi Ju clearing his throat, the entire site instantly falls into silence, a bearded man below the left seat is first to rise as he wraps his fist in greeting: “Heng Shan’s (Mount Heng) Xu Rong here, greets Supreme Chief!”
“Duan Zhi Qiu of the Dali Kingdoentle
“Tang Men’s (Gate of Tang) Tang Fei Feng greets Suprereets Supreme Chief!” More and more people rises from their seats as they report their names, many of whom are much older than Gu Xi Ju, their expressions and tones are all greatly respectful
The round of reporting na, Gu Xi Ju nods his head, asking: “Has all been going well for everyone lately?” His appearance and bearings looking rather in tune with that of a E imperial court
All sects very quickly begins to report back, thecredit to spread their names for matters such as, how many bandits and scums of the society their disciples had eradicated, and what kind of treasures they have seized Instead it is that Lady Fei Feng fro, when it came to her turn, she says she had newly developed a type of spring drug, it is able to have the one poisoned to see any other person as the one they love, thus ridding all guilt and burdens to engage in having an affair
(Of Shu or shǔ zhōng / 蜀中 refers to today’s province of Sichuan where Tang Men was reportedly located)
(Spring in Chinese – chūn /春 can also be used for various different s such as romance/love, life, vitality, youth but in the case of the spring drugof lust)
Spring drug has never been so that can be openly put out on the table, so before she had even finished speaking, within the hall, there were already people issuing sounds of “pei-pei” as they spit out their contempt
“Does everyone by chance know, the world’sis but the obstacle that is love?”
