Chapter 1042: Honored guest (4)
He was wearing a thick, long dress with a lapel. Each layer of the skirt had plicated embroidered patterns at the corners, making it very easy to distinguish.
The innermost layer wrapped around his legs, and the later layers became shorter. As the flower edges circled, they formed a unique pattern on his dark-colored traditional dress.
Because of the inconvenience of the dress, Yi Chang didn’t take big steps. With each step, only the tip of her black boots with cloud patterns could be seen, which made her look elegant.
As soon as pinluo saw him, he immediately went silent. He hid behind song qingxiao and secretly sized up this Lord Yi Chang from the corner of his eye.
Yi Chang didn’t care about his gaze, his deep eyes fell on song qingxiao, ”
“I didn’t know that you were ing, so I didn’t make any preparations in advance. I hope miss song doesn’t mind.”
He didn’t look very old, but he spoke in a genteel manner. There was an ancient and rigorous style to his eloquence, which was extremely inconsistent with his youthful appearance.
However, it was not surprising that he did it, as if everything was natural.
He didn’t seem to be embarrassed by her words or actions. From his eyes, he had an extremely rare determination and calmness that people of his age had. It was as if only people who had experienced the world would have the calm and posure of seeing through everything.
“I heard that miss song is here for the Dragon King?” Yi Chang smiled and casually mentioned the purpose of song qingxiao’s visit.
As soon as he said this, not only was uncle Xiang, who had calmed down, shocked, but even pinluo was shocked.
This handsome young man didn’t seem to have any intention of playing dumb with song qingxiao. He wasn’t even worried that she would find out about her background.
Song qingxiao had a feeling that Yi Chang knew that she had heard the conversation between her and uncle Xiang, so he was using this to test her reaction.
She pursed her lips and continued, ”
“I’m indeed very curious about the Dragon King.”
“Hahaha.”
Yi Chang laughed heartily when he heard her admit it.
He looked handsome, and his every move had an indescribable sense of being out of the world. As he laughed, his eyes were overflowing with brilliance, revealing a few neat white teeth. He looked confident and elegant, but not without elegance.
“Miss song, you’ve e at the right time. Two days later, we’ll be holding the Dragon King’s sacrifice. You can take a good look at it then.”
“Eh?” Pinluo didn’t expect him to say something like that, and he couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.
Perhaps it was because an ordinary person’s sudden voice had interrupted his mood, it made the elegant Yi Chang a little unhappy.
The smile on his face quickly disappeared, and he nodded to song qingxiao.
“The Dragon King’s ritual is approaching and I have a lot of things to do. I’ll take my leave and leave churong here to serve you. He’ll arrange your acmodation later.” When he spoke, he didn’t even look at pinluo, who was standing timidly behind song qingxiao, as if he didn’t care about this ordinary young man.
“If there’s anything I didn’t do well, please forgive me.”
After saying this, he nodded and turned around.
The other dark-clothed men all bowed respectfully, their arms crossed in front of their stomachs. After he left, everyone felt as if a big stone had been removed from their hearts, and they raised their heads with smiles.
A man in his forties or fifties stepped forward and chuckled as he looked at song qingxiao.
miss song, I’m churong. Lord Yichang has told me to take good care of you. He had a medium build and broad shoulders. He was slightly shorter than Yi Chang and was dressed similarly, but he lacked Yi Chang’s presence.
Perhaps it was because he was dressed like Yi Chang, song qingxiao felt that his face was similar to Yi Chang’s. She was about to take a closer look, but churong seemed to have noticed her gaze and turned her face away instinctively.
“Although our place is small, the scenery is not bad. Since it’s not dark yet, why don’t I ask someone to take you around and have a look?”
Just as he finished speaking, a hoarse male voice called out, ”
“Third uncle,”
Churong frowned and turned around instinctively. Song qingxiao also turned around and saw a skinny old man standing about seven or eight steps away from them. He looked at churong and hesitated to speak.
The old man was about 70 years old. His hair was white, his cheeks were wrinkled, and he was all skin and bones.
He interrupted churong’s words, causing an unhappy look to flash through her eyes. She turned around and asked, ”
“What is it?”
His tone was stern, as if he had been offended. The old man licked his lips and hesitantly said, ”
“One of the people that xiangyuan brought in is injured and needs medical treatment.”
