"This character... is... empty!"
"Yes, it’s empty, I’ve seen it!"
"This... is the character for boundary!"
....
Gu Pengyou’s voice had never stopped since the beginning.
Chen Xuan was quietly admiring the beauty.
But this quiet scene was broken half an hour later.
"Sister, I’m here!"
A young man in a blue brocade robe, with a white jade pendant hanging from his waist, hurriedly walked in.
"Hmm?"
When he saw the cup in Chen Xuan’s hand, he was suddenly stunned.
This was his sister’s favorite cup. Not to ntion outsiders, even when he ca, he had never been allowed to use it.
Who is this person?
"You wait! No talking!"
Gu Pengyou didn’t even look at him, just said a word, and continued to look carefully again.
"Hmm...?"
The young man looked at her and then at Chen Xuan, completely bewildered.
But due to his sister’s pressure, he quietly went to the counter and leaned against it.
His eyes were fixed on Chen Xuan.
But even though he was curious as if a cat was scratching his heart, he didn’t dare to ask.
"Hehe!"
Seeing his discomfort, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Of course, what he got in return was the young man glaring at him fiercely.
Clearly dissatisfied.
This wait lasted two hours.
Gu Pengyou finally finished watching, but her face showed a look of lingering interest.
Holding the paper in her hand, she walked over slowly.
The young man was just about to speak, but was stopped by a gesture from her.
Instead, she handed the paper to Chen Xuan with an apologetic face, "I’m really sorry, there are quite a few I don’t recognize either!"
In terms of knowledge, although she was young, there were almost none in Jiuyue Mansion who could surpass her!
She did have that confidence.
But these were ancient characters, and even as well-read as she was, there were nearly twenty of the hundred characters she did not recognize.
Chen Xuan took it and looked carefully.
"It’s already very good! Thank you, Miss Gu."
With hands clasped in thanks,
he had only intended to stroll around today, but unexpectedly made such a gain.
It was like the unintentional planting of willows that grew to shade.
Looking at the sky outside, he said, "I’ve disturbed you for long enough, I shall take my leave now."
"Then... the rest of it..."
Seeing him about to leave, Gu Pengyou hurriedly asked.
After all, he had many more ancient texts, and it would be a pity to miss them.
"Rest assured, I will co again tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Gu Pengyou felt relieved and then said, "If Young Master Xuan is willing, you can bring the original with you, which would give more confidence!"
"This...."
Chen Xuan hesitated.
"Apologies, it was presumptuous of ,"
Gu Pengyou quickly said. Such ancient texts were certainly very precious, and it was indeed inappropriate to make such a suggestion when they had only t by chance.
"Oh, it’s not that, it’s just that this ancient book belongs to an elder in my family. It’s not convenient for to decide, how about I consult and let you know? Miss Gu, would that be alright?"
"Young Master Xuan is considerate!"
Gu Pengyou bowed in salute.
"You’re too kind!"
Chen Xuan nodded and returned the bow before leaving the Ancient Moon Studio.
It was only after he left that Gu Ming could no longer hold it in. "Sister, who is this person? You were so courteous to him!"
The Gu Family was the top family in Jiuyue Mansion.
Nurous people wanted to associate with them.
Even a servant of the Gu Family walked with their head held high outside.
Yet, unexpectedly, his sister, the most talented of this generation in the Gu Family, favored by both their father and uncle, the first beauty of Jiuyue Mansion,
was now so courteous to a stranger.
Even her gaze towards him shone.
It’s too unusual!
"Didn’t I say? Don’t co here unless it’s important!"
Gu Pengyou didn’t answer him.
And was slightly displeased.
Completely different from how she was with Chen Xuan earlier.
"Oh, it’s Father who asked to call you, Uncle has returned from the Imperial City!"
"Uncle is back?"
Gu Pengyou was a bit surprised because last ti Uncle said this trip to the Imperial City would take at least half a year, but it had only been six months.
Could sothing major have happened?
"I’ll leave this to you, I’m heading back first!"
Saying this, she gave him no ti to speak and turned into a white light flying towards the Gu Mansion.
"This... what is going on!"
Gu Ming had a bitter face and was very helpless.
He ca to call soone, but ended up staying behind himself. He wanted to go back too.
Perhaps Uncle had brought him nice things from the Imperial City!
"Or maybe...."
Looking at the sky, it was about the right ti.
He might just go and address it directly.
Leave!
...
"Nine Immortals Tower!"
Having left the Ancient Moon Studio, Chen Xuan, of course, didn’t forget today’s goal.
"So tall!"
Chen Xuan looked up, saying it was a building but it was more like a tower.
"1, 2, 3..."
A total of ten floors.
Moreover, each floor’s outer railing was a different color.
And the styles were varied.
"Interesting!"
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but say, even the brothel was like this; it indeed seed to have so ability to attract those in power from outer mansions.
Then he walked toward the grand entrance.
But before reaching it, he was stopped by a woman dressed in red.
"What’s the matter?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at her with so confusion.
The woman didn’t speak, just extended her hand directly.
"What do you an?"
Chen Xuan’s face didn’t look very pleased.
He just wanted to enter the brothel, yet he was stopped and had a hand extended at him.
"First ti here?"
The woman seed unconcerned with his expression, rather impatiently asked.
"What if it is?"
"For first-tirs, you pay one thousand taels. It’s the rule of Nine Immortals Tower! Also the threshold!"
