In an attic enveloped in white mist and adorned with clusters of flowers, a gentle fragrance wafted through the air.
At a glance, the floor was covered with white jade, and precious sandalwood formed the beams. Even the screens displayed paintings by renowned artists from the imperial capital.
At this moment, within the loft, two beautiful women sat facing each other, sipping flower tea.
The woman on the left wore a pink robe, her black silk hair coiled on top of her head, secured with a phoenix-shaped golden hairpin.
Her narrow, elongated eyes, high nose, and full lips were complemented by the colorful clothes that accentuated her figure, appearing somewhat snug.
This was a mature and enchanting beauty, every move and gesture exuding a unique charm that captivated those around her.
She was the head of the Hundred Flowers Sect, Jiang Yexin!
On the other side was a woman in a black dress, her flowing black hair cascading freely, concealing the ample curves of her seated form.
She covered her face with a black square scarf, obscuring her features, but the prominent contours still revealed her as a stunning beauty.
Especially her eyes, emitting a faint blue light like cold ice, were quite remarkable.Her name was Cang Mu, the behind-the-scenes manager of many jewelry and cosmetics shops in the Hundred Flowers Valley, with the Treasured Butterfly Pavilion being one of her assets.
Jiang Yexin lifted the teacup, took a sip, and spoke softly with her tender voice, “The Myriad Sword Sect has been restless lately. It has closed its doors to guests, and outsiders are not allowed to enter casually.”
Cang Mu lazily stretched, revealing her full figure. Unconcerned, she replied, “It’s just that Liu Jianli has returned, and they want to start the domination of heaven and earth.”
“I see. Was the thunderstorm on the summit of the Star Moon Peak the other night related to this matter?”
Cang Mu remained silent, staring intently at Jiang Yexin, making the latter somewhat uncomfortable.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Jiang Yexin couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“That thunderstorm was caused by the emergence of the Myriad Sword Sect’s Sword Ancestor’s sword, the Purple Thunder Divine Sword. They plan to use it as the foundation to construct the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, assisting Liu Jianli in overcoming the heavenly tribulation.”
“Also, Yexin, if you want to ask about Yue Hexuan, just be straightforward, no need to beat around the bush.I don’t want to be like this when facing my own niece.”
“Why are you talking about Yue Hexuan for no reason?” Jiang Yexin’s expression remained unchanged as she took another sip of tea.
“The Star Moon Peak is that guy’s sword peak. You heard people say there’s thunder soaring there. Aren’t you worried about him, so you deliberately came to ask me? With your appearance, you really resemble my niece.”
“You are obviously asking about things related to your sweetheart, but you have to pretend as if nothing has happened. Do you really think that everyone else is a fool?” Cang Mu covered her mouth and yawned.
With her thoughts exposed, Jiang Yexin remained calm, steering the conversation away. “I heard you mentioned before that your niece settled in a remote town by the order of the family. Did you meet her?”
“Things there have settled. Family members urged her to return quickly, but that girl, probably because she has someone she cares about there, refused to leave. Following the family’s orders, I contacted her, asking her to go back and visit the old man to avoid any trouble.” Cang Mu tilted the tea cup, then raised her right hand, covering her face with her sleeve, and finished the flower tea.
Jiang Yexin nodded, “No wonder you weren’t here the past few days…”
“Speaking of which, in your family’s traditions, a woman’s true appearance can only be seen by her future husband before marriage. But I’m just a woman, so in front of me, you can lift the veil casually. No need to go through the trouble of drinking tea.”
Putting down the teacup, Cang Mu said leisurely, “I’m too beautiful. I’m afraid that if you see my true face, you won’t be able to help falling in love with me and forget about that lover in the Myriad Sword Sect. I would feel guilty then.”
Jiang Yexin’s eyelids twitched. After a moment, she sighed and spat out a breath.
Not long after, hurried footsteps were heard from the stairs. The girl who was guarding the door ran over, excitedly saying, “Master, there’s another poem from Elegant Court that has triggered an eighty percent bloom of flowers.”
“Hmm?” Jiang Yexin was slightly stunned. She then lightly tapped the void, and the scene at Elegant Court immediately appeared. This was also a function of Elegant Court’s precious artifact, capable of projecting images across distances.
In the image, a scroll of poetry floated, and in a short moment, it rose high like the previous poetry crown.
She carefully read it and couldn’t help but praise, “Unexpectedly, after many years, I’ve seen another masterpiece.”
Looking at the black-dressed beauty in front of her, who lazily lay on the table without lifting her head, Jiang Yexin couldn’t help but be curious. “Aren’t you usually the most fond of these literary things? Today, a masterpiece has emerged, why don’t I see any interest in you?”
“Come on, your Hundred Flowers Sect’s Elegant Court probably has no appreciation ability. The selected poems and verses are at best something barely readable.”
Jiang Yexin understood that the other party had a hidden meaning. The young man who had once written the poem crown couldn’t even activate the crystal lamp in the Treasured Butterfly Pavilion.
“I know you have high standards, but have you ever thought that the poetic art of The Great Qian has been weak for a long time? It’s not easy to produce such a masterpiece. You should know that even those who come from the Imperial Academy in the capital, only a few of them can leave their poems in the elegant courtyard.”
“Heh.” Cang Mu shrugged it off and chuckled. For her, the scholars in the Imperial Academy were just a bunch of mediocrities who couldn’t write poetry.
But at this moment, in the holographic projection, the people around the elegant courtyard suddenly became restless, and a cry was heard: “Heavens, these… these flowers, they’ve all bloomed!”
Hearing the commotion, the two beautiful women looked over.
They saw a riot of colors, each flower petal radiating colorful light, dazzling and stunning!
“They’ve really all bloomed… Who on earth is this person, to have such ability?” Jiang Yexin looked surprised. However, when she saw the young man in the holographic projection with an equally shocked expression, she instantly understood.
The one who caused all the flowers in the elegant courtyard to bloom was not the current young man!
Suddenly, within the Hundred Flowers Valley, golden characters streaked across the night sky like meteors, falling into the elegant courtyard and forming poems in the void.
Everyone stared at the suspended golden poem, their eyes widening, taking in a sharp breath.
They had never seen such poetry, feeling their hearts race, their breath caught. Even if they exhausted all the words of praise in their minds, they couldn’t describe the beauty of this poem.
“Who wrote this poem? Who is the author?” This was the answer everyone present wanted to know!
Jiang Yexin thought of the direction where the golden characters leaped out and pondered. The black-dressed beauty, who had been listless earlier, suddenly stood up and disappeared into the attic.
“Master…” The girl who came to report was a bit at a loss.
“Let’s go to the Treasured Butterfly Pavilion!”
…
Qin Feng glanced at the poems that leaped outside the window, not paying much attention.
Because in front of him, the crystal lamp containing the jade hairpin had slowly opened. A white mist dispersed like water vapor, revealing the extraordinary nature of this jade hairpin!
The girl leading the way was still immersed in the previous poem, unable to extricate herself until Qin Feng spoke, bringing her back to reality.
“The glass bowl has already been opened, so can I take this jade hairpin now?”
“Ah? Um…” The girl nodded bewilderingly. He had just written a masterpiece, but he showed no change in expression, only focused on the jade hairpin?
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng quickly reached for the jade hairpin. As he held it, he felt a cool sensation, which made people feel quite comfortable.
He originally intended to put the jade hairpin into the spatial ring, but to his surprise, it couldn’t be accommodated!
From this, it could be seen that this jade hairpin was a high-quality treasure!
Qin Feng felt secretly delighted but calmly tucked the jade hairpin into his embrace. He casually said to the Black Charcoal Head beside him, “Now that we have the jade hairpin, let’s go.”
“Ah? Oh, okay, Young Master.” The Black Charcoal Head also seemed a bit dazed.
The two were about to leave.
Seeing this, the girl reacted and quickly spoke, “Young Master, are you leaving just like this?”
“What? Do you want to back out?” Qin Feng frowned.
“Of course not, it’s just that, with the poem you just composed, don’t you want to stay here until the people from Hundred Flower Sect arrive, letting everyone know that the poem was written by you? For the scholars, this is a great honor.”
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, waved his hand, and said, “No need. I’ve always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and I don’t care about these reputations.”
Of course, the most important thing was obtaining the treasure. He didn’t want too many people to know, and he was also afraid that the Manager of Treasured Butterfly Pavilion might change his mind after coming…
The girl, upon hearing this, was greatly shocked. This young man was completely different from the scholars she had met before. No wonder he could write such a stunning piece!
As the two were about to leave, the girl gathered her courage and asked, “Can you tell me, Young Master, whom the poem is written for?”
Qin Feng paused for a moment, smiled, and replied, “Naturally, it’s for my wife.”
With that, he left without looking back.
Leaving the girl standing there, dumbfounded.
