1938: The Hundred Rivers City

The Hundred Rivers City

The next day, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu slept in. Leng Shuang put the prepared breakfast in the courtyard and withdrew.2

Feng Jiu added one more bowl of rice congee for him and asked, "Should I pay respects to your master?" After all, it's his master and the two houses were next to each other. If she didn't come to visit him, it seemed a bit rude.

"It's not urgent." He picked some small dishes for her. "Let's eat! Wait until we go to the city. For his matter, let's wait a few days." 

Feng Jiu didn't mention it again. After the two of them had finished breakfast and were about to go out, Leng Shuang came to report. "Mistress, that Young Miss is here."

Feng Jiu chuckled. "It's alright for her to come. She must be very familiar with the city. Let her show us around." As she said this, she walked out with Xuanyuan Mo Ze, while Leng Shuang followed behind.

In the outer courtyard, Yang Xiao Er, dressed in dark green, ran over when she saw Feng Jiu. "Sister Feng, I'm here again!"

Feng Jiu smiled. "We're planning to look for a shop today. You're here at the right time, come with us to have a look!"

"Alright, I'm familiar with the city. What kind of storefront are you looking for? Tell me, I'll bring you there." She smiled with her eyes narrowed to a crescent.

"Let's talk while we're heading there." She turned her head and told Leng Shuang and Leng Hua behind her. "You two should follow too!"

"Yes." The siblings replied and stood behind her.

Yang Xiao Er was very happy when she heard that. Her smile was so wide that her eyes turned into a line as she glanced secretly at Leng Hua. Her round face flushed with excitement. Great, Brother Leng Hua is going, too!

Several of them went out. With Yang Xiao Er as the guide, they walked to the most prosperous area in the city.

As soon as they appeared on the street, they attracted a lot of glances and amazement. After all, there were several of them, handsome men and women, and few people could match their noble spirit. Not only did the people in the city wonder who they were. Even some cultivators guessed secretly.

Some of them recognized the chubby girl wreathed in smiles as Yang Xiao Er and started talking in a low voice.

"Isn't that Yang family's second Young Miss? Who are those next to her? They are very good looking."

"They look like the children of an influential family. The temperament is not comparable to one of us."

"Not quite so."

An old man shook his head and whispered, "What is the temperament of a man and a woman in front of them? The old man has lived for so many years and can judge others accurately. The identity of a man and a woman in front of them must be unusual. The latter two look like attendants, but the young man in white has the same temperament as the son of an influential family, while the woman in black is a little cold. She's cold even without getting close. She's not a person anyone can provoke."

Listening to the old man's words, the whispering people beside him quieted down and stopped talking. Their eyes followed the party until the sight was blocked by the people in the street. Then, they heard the old man's voice again.

"Our Hundred Rivers City is the most prosperous and prestigious among dozens of towns and cities in the region. It is also close to the boundary of the Opulent Celestial Sect. It is normal for powerful people from other places to come to our city. There's no need to make a fuss." 

The old man said. With his hands clasped behind his back, he shook his head, then walked away while humming a song.

In the front, Yang Xiao Er pointed to a store and asked, "Sister Feng, what do you think of this place?"
