From the Outer City to the Inner City, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, especially at the city gate, where people were like rain, with a constant flow of carriages and horses, and an endless stream of people from various prefectures, with the prosperity even surpassing that of the Qianlong Assembly.
After all, most of the people who came to see the Qianlong Assembly hadn't left, and instead, more people were continuously attracted from all over.
Furthermore, many beauties from the Baihua List had already arrived today. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
With numerous attendants and supporters, even the Sky Patrol Guard had to maintain order on site, acting as security.
It was like a top celebrity holding a concert... "Hmm? Old Huang, where are they?"
In the crowd, Li Mo, who was heading to the Hentong Main Branch, suddenly found his surroundings empty.
Only Huang Donglai was still following him closely.
"They said they'd go ahead, but it's actually because you can't fly in the Inner City and have to dismount for routine checks," Huang Donglai said, looking around vigilantly.
Li Mo understood.
Those brothers, who were close to his heart, had gone to see the women on the Baihua List.
Perhaps they even wanted to try sending an invitation, taking advantage of the fact that they were new and the early bird catches the worm...
"Old Huang, why aren't you going?"
"The most charming are the most dangerous..."
"..."
Huang Donglai kept his eyes straight ahead, looking as if he was wary of a flood or a fierce beast.
Li Mo, however, was open and unreserved, neither avoiding nor deliberately staring at anyone, embodying the spirit of a true gentleman.
At the city gate.
Upon reaching the city gate, they indeed saw Murong Xiao, Xiao Qin, and the Three Swordsmen of Hengyun.
"Godfather, you go ahead and wait for us at the main branch."
Zhong Zhenyue, who had already changed into a city guard uniform, quickly let them pass.
"?"
Aren't you the Little Marquis? Why are you personally guarding the city gate?
"It's fine, I'll wait for you all. Later, I still need to arrange accommodation for them, so I'll get to know them beforehand."
As Li Mo spoke, his Tianming Divine Eye invisibly activated.
"Shen Niangzi of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, a master of music, truly embodies the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth."
"You might not have heard of Tu Yan, but you must have heard of the Hehuan Sect's Junior Sister..."
"That little princess of the Merfolk Race, right? When she cries, tears must fall like pear blossoms in the rain. No wonder the Merfolk Race doesn't treat pearls like rice; who could bear to make her cry..."
Then he took out a small notebook and quietly began to record by the side.
He was still so fond of investing.
Those women were just a fleeting glance, a quick look, like celebrities getting off a plane.
He had to admit his hand speed was much faster now; his writing was quicker, and sometimes, a thought would just emerge in his mind and instantly appear on paper.
"Godfather, what do you think of that Tu Yan?" Zhong Zhenyue asked.
"Tu Yan has very long legs, and she dresses very well, but in terms of figure, she's a bit taller..." Li Mo said while writing.
"And Shen Niangzi?"
"Shen Niangzi's strong suit is her elegant and refined temperament, though it's not as good as when she was teaching martial arts."
"The Merfolk Princess..."
"If I punch her, how long will she cry?"
Li Mo kept his eyes straight ahead, completely an unfeeling investment recording machine.
Someone nearby, dressed as a scholar, who was clearly a supporter {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} of a certain lady, overheard him and widened his eyes:
"Who is that 'she' you're talking about? I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but where in the world is there a perfect person?"
"Han Xianzi."
"..."
The person silently lowered his head and entered the city.
"Indeed, no one is perfect. Does the Ice Cube have no flaws at all?"
Li Mo stopped writing and remained silent for a moment.
"Ah? Does she?" Zhong Zhenyue was stunned.
Li Mo said earnestly, "When I wasn't familiar with her, I always worried she'd chop me to death with a sword."
"..."
After a moment, Li Mo put away his small notebook; he had finished recording everything he needed to.
Thus, he had no reason to continue standing there. He bid farewell to everyone and headed to the main branch first.
As soon as he left, all the brothers, who held him dear in their hearts, finally breathed a sigh of relief. After bending their backs all morning, they could finally straighten up. The little flame of confidence that a Dragon of Hidden Potential could enjoy the admiring glances of beauties with a shake of his body, was rekindled.
Hmm, since ancient times, beauties have been paired with heroes!
When Li Mo left, everyone was a young hero!
Who was Wang Qi Dou Hun? He could effortlessly charm girls who liked the exceptionally talented, the young and wealthy, and even those who preferred niche interests like blacksmithing.
Especially Wu Chushu, when Li Mo was present, he dared not show off in front of others.
Now, Old Wu also straightened up.
With a long sword in his arms, his hair fluttering without wind, he walked leisurely to the carriage procession of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"I am Wu Chushu of Hengyun Sword City. I have long heard of Shen Niangzi's exceptional musical talent, and I have specially come to present an invitation."
"Oh."
A faint voice came from inside the carriage, and then there was nothing more.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward for a moment.
Fortunately, suddenly, the curtain of another carriage not far away was lifted, revealing a beautiful face with starry eyes.
"You are Wu Chushu?" she asked.
"Oh? You've heard my name? May I ask for your name, young lady?"
Wu Chushu felt more confident and perked up again.
This was the normal script, after all... "Hehuan Sect, Tu Yan."
"Hiss..." Wu Chushu was initially a bit wary, but after taking a deep breath, he still decided to present the invitation.
Everyone said that women from the Hehuan Sect should not be touched, but this Tu Yan was both pure and alluring, looking innocent and flawless, yet exuding a subtle charm... Moreover, she seemed to admire him greatly... Tu Yan's eyes sparkled even brighter:
"I know, you know that person who knows Wang Qi Dou Hun, right!"
"..."
The scene became even more silent for a moment, the quietness deafening.
Wu Chushu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
So, in her heart, he was merely... 'the one who knows Wang Qi Dou Hun'?
It turned out to be true.
As soon as Tu Yan finished speaking, the carriage from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which had just given him the cold shoulder, also opened its curtain, and she was not alone.
Other beautiful women, some came in person, while others sent their maids to inquire.
"How is Wang Qi Dou Hun as a person? Is he truly a gentle gentleman as rumored?"
"He is generous with money, spending thousands at a time. Is it true or false?"
"I heard that in the battle of Southern Xinjiang, he led the charge. I really want to see how heroic he is..."
"By the way, does he take concubines?"
"If he doesn't take concubines, then having a romance, an affair, even a fleeting one, would count as having been 'blessed' by him."
Being surrounded by a myriad of flowers, with singing and dancing, was a scene from Wu Chushu's dreams.
But at this moment, he was filled with tears, speechless, and looked up at the sky.
He should have left with them just now. He wanted to escape so badly...
Behind him, all the brothers, who held him dear in their hearts, fell into deep thought.
Li Mo had already left!
He wasn't even here, yet he could still make their scalps tingle and make them feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles?
They wanted to meet some girls and consider their lifelong matters, but they found that there was no need to consider; everyone wanted to be 'blessed'...
Is anyone in charge here?
