After Fan Hui Zhong left with Wu Zhang He, along with two guard escorts at Fan Zhu Xia"s insistence, the crowd dispersed while talking about what they saw and aside from confirming the news that it was really Lei w.a.n.gye that was riding inside the carriage but also this mysterious young miss who is supposedly his daughter!While the streets were abuzz with the news, the carriage that Fan Zhu Xia was in, finally arrived in front of the Thousand Treasures Pavillion.
Coming to a stop, both Min Sheng and Chun Hua who had remained completely silent throughout the trip, both got off and made their way to the carriage door.
Knocking lightly twice, Chun Hua then softly called out and said, "Young Miss, we"re here."
Waiting patiently, Min Sheng surveyed the surroundings with a narrowed gaze while Chun Hua smiled lightly when she saw the carriage door start to open and hastened to place a small circular stepping stool before offering her hand to help a.s.sist her Young Miss in climbing down.
While all of this was happening, both Chun Hua and Fan Zhu Xia was completely unaware of the stir that they caused!
Looking at them, one would see a beautiful and elegant young lady that is comparible to a celestial being with her graceful bearing and almost water-like movements as if she floated down to land on the ground as she got down and off the carriage.
Each of her movements were soft and fluid, while the silvery blue ribbons that were braided into her hair moved gently along the breeze as if it was floating in the sea of her deep raven hair which contrasted with her pale blue robes that enveloped her soft, womanly curves which swayed subtly as she walked making all the people"s eyes, especially the men, transfixed at her movements.
Even her face which was partially hidden by the veil was especially eye-catching. The veil not diminis.h.i.+ng the obvious beauty and allure her countenance has, making people wonder what kind of kingdom-toppling beauty is actually behind the wispy piece of silk that obstructed their view of her flawless face.
While her appearance filled the crowd with curiousity and to some, longing, Fan Zhu Xia only felt excitement at finally arriving at their destination.
Standing in front of the Thousan Treasures Pavillion, Fan Zhu Xia was in awe just by looking at it"s exterior!
With tall walls made out of extremely smooth stone that it"s surface were like jade with elegant bamboo tiles and an awe-inspiring gate with bronze doors that is large enough to fit even their carriage in the entirety of it"s width, with room to spare that is currently opened wide to reveal a stone pathway with immaculately trimmed flowering plants and bushes on either side, leading all the way into a pair of elegantly carved doors made out of expensive spirit wood where a couple of attendants stood beside looking as if they were out of a painting.
Engrossed with her surroundings, Fan Zhu Xia looked around her interestedly, barely noticing that half of her escorts, along with Min Sheng and Chun Hua were following quietly behind her, unwilling to divert her attention, because of this, Fan Zhu Xia"s mind wandered as she thought about where the other less conspicuous paths led to, almost forgetting what they initially came there for in the first place.
When one of the attendants decided to go ahead and meet them halfway, he lowered his head respectfully and nodded in greetings as he welcomed them.
Even a man like him who has seen countless people with extremely prestigious backgrounds couldn"t help but feel a tinge of nervousness when standing in front of this young miss.
Aside from her obvious deep connection to the infamous Lei Palace judging from the crest on the carriage that she was previously riding, even her demeanor spoke volumes!
The aura she exceeded was both lofty yet enchanting, sweetly innocent yet indescribably untouchable.
It truly made everyone feel as if they were in a dream when in her presence.
Luckily, he, Ho You wasn"t as unexperienced and unlearned with the ways of the world despite his young appearance. This was even noticed by Fan Zhu Xia when she saw him quickly regain his composure enough to even give them an amiable yet courteous smile.
This even gave Fan Zhu Xia a pleasant surprise.
"Honoured guests, are you here to attend today"s auction?"
Subtly paying closer attention to the attendant, Fan Zhu Xia gave him a small smile in return before answering him.
"Sir is correct. We are indeed here for the auction. Has it started already?"
"Please no need to be so courteous to this lowly one. This Honoured Guest may just refer to this one as Servant You."
"You? That is a wonderful name meaning friend, this Young Miss is wondering if you would be a friend to her and show her around the Thousand Treasure Pavillion?"
This gave Ho You an even better impression of her. Young, yet not conceited nor arrogant when treating those who most people would think was lower than them in status unlike most of the people who come here.
This made Ho You feel as though this young miss is growing more pleasing to the eye the more he is around her making his next words be filled with sincerity.
"It would be Ho You"s great honor. Please follow me."
