35 Thousand Treasures Pavillion - 10.2 (1/2)
On their way to the Thousand Treasures Pavillion, the carriage that Fan Hui Zhong and Fan Zhu Xia unexpectedly halted in its tracks due to an elegant-looking, distinguished man with handsome features atop a Horse Wind Drake, a type of spirit beast that resembles a mighty stallion, usually used by the various powers elite force; had suddenly gotten in their way and came to a stopin front of their carriage, waiting for them to fully come to a rest before making his way to the side and knocking lightly on the carriage door.
Ignoring the anticipation in the crowd's faces, the man patiently waited for someone to acknowledge his presence while the crowd waited on baited breath on what was going to happen.
Murmurs could be heard as people whispered to each other as they speculated on what's about to happen.
”That man on top of that mount-type spirit beast, Isn't that-?”
”It is, it is! Only a blind man wouldn't know who that person is!”
”Then why are the people inside that carriage keeping him waiting?”
”Keep quiet you fool! Do you not recognize the symbol engraved at the carriage door?!”
”Not really, this may even be the first time I've seen it.”
”You idiot! Has your head been filled with water that you could not recognize the crest of the one and only Lei Wangye?!”
”Yes you old fool, it belongs to no other than Lei Wangye!”
Despite hearing the agitated murmurings of the crowd, the man atop the Horse Wind Drake still had a carefree expression on his face.
Finally, there was movement a slight movement visible inside the carriage before the curtains on the carriage window was pulled back before a man with strong, sharp features looked out to see the one who knocked.
This man was precisely the Lei Wangye; Fan Hui Zhong!
Recognizing Fan Hui Zhong, this inadvertently threw those who recognized him into a shocked frenzy, completely surprised at his reappearance in the imperial capital but contrary to them, the man atop the Horse Wind Drake had a smile grace his lips which made some of the ladies who were watching the scene involuntarily blush and sigh at the sight.
Truly this man was a feast for the eyes!
With an elegant and distinguished bearing, coupled with his strong yet gentle scholarly appearance, hereally drew the attention but despite of this, the man completely ignored the crowd and instead warmly greeted Fan Hui Zhong with a respectful voice.
”Lei Wangye, it is a pleasure to see you again after all these years.”
Glancing at the man who spoke, Fan Hui Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly before recognition flashed in his eyes.
”Wu Zhang He? Is that you?”
”En. I didn't think that Lei Wangye would recognize me.”
”Of course I'd recognize you! You were a very promising and talented general even back then.”
With a slightly sheepish smile, Wu Zhang He brushed off Fan Hui Zhong's compliment with a laugh as he replied, ”Please Lei Wangye, you jest! This lowly one is nothing compared to you.”
