From the outer city to the inner city, the scenery around changed rapidly, especially at the city gates where people were as numerous as raindrops, breathing in and out like a bustling flow of carriages and horses. People from various prefectures came one after another, more flourishing than during the Qianlong Conference.
After all, those who came to watch the Qianlong Conference were few, whereas people attracted from all over continued to pour in.
Moreover, many of the beauties listed on the Hundred Flowers List had already arrived today.
With so many attendants, even the patrol guards had no choice but to be present on-site to maintain order and act as security.
It was just like a top celebrity holding a concert…
“Hmm? Old Huang, where are they?”
In the crowd, Li Mo, who was heading towards Tonghang General Bank, suddenly noticed that his companions were gone.
Only Huang Donglai was still closely following him.
“They said they would go ahead because they can’t fly directly into the inner city; they have to come down for routine checks.” Huang Donglai looked around cautiously.
Li Mo understood.
The brothers he was with went to see the women listed on the Hundred Flowers List.
Perhaps they also wanted to try delivering a visiting card, taking advantage of their new arrival, hoping to get a chance first…
“Old Huang, why didn’t you go?”
“The most charming is often the most dangerous…”
“…”
Huang Donglai kept his eyes straight ahead, looking as if he was wary of a flood or a beast.
Li Mo, on the other hand, was open and frank, not avoiding anyone but also not deliberately staring at anyone, embodying the principle of a gentleman being open and aboveboard.
At the city gate.
Upon arriving at the city gate, Li Mo saw Murong Xiao, Xiao Qian, and the Three Swordsmen of Hengyun.
“Father, you can go ahead now. We’ll wait for you at the general bank.”
Zhong Zhenyue, who had already changed into the city guard uniform, quickly let them through.
“What?”
Aren’t you the young lord? Coming to see the city gate yourself?
“No need, I waited for you. Later, I still need to arrange accommodations for them. I want to get acquainted with them in advance.”
As Li Mo spoke, his Heavenly Fate Divine Eye activated subconsciously.
“Lady Shen from Xiaoxiang Pavilion is a master of music, gathering the essence of heaven and earth.”
“You might not have heard of Tu Yan, but you must have heard of the junior sister from the He Huan Sect…”
“That little princess of the Jiaoren clan? She must cry like pear blossoms in the rain; no wonder the Jiaoren clan doesn’t treat pearls like rice. Who could bear to make her cry…”
He took out a small notebook and silently began writing next to him.
He still loved making investments.
Those women were just fleeting glances, like passing by a horse and flowers. It was similar to when a star descends from an airplane.
It couldn’t be denied that his handwriting had become much faster recently; sometimes, thoughts in his mind would leap onto paper as soon as they appeared.
“Father, how about Tu Yan?” Zhong Zhenyue asked.
“Tu Yan has long legs and knows how to dress well. From a body shape perspective, she’s taller…”
Li Mo said while writing.
“What about Lady Shen?”
“Lady Shen excels in a refined and graceful temperament, though she’s less skilled in teaching martial arts.”
“Jiaoren princess…”
“How long would she cry if hit with a punch?”
Li Mo kept his eyes straight, completely a cold investment recording machine.
Someone nearby, dressed as a scholar, widened their eyes. Clearly, they were a fan of a certain lady:
“Who is the person you’re talking about? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but where does a perfect person come from?”
“Cold Fairy.”
“…”
That person silently lowered their head and entered the city.
“Indeed, no one is perfect. Does Ice Chunk have any flaws?”
Li Mo paused, pen in hand.
“Huh? There are?”
Zhong Zhenyue was taken aback.
Li Mo earnestly replied, “When I wasn’t familiar with her, I always worried she might k*ll me with a sword.”
“…”
After a moment, Li Mo put away his notebook. He had recorded everything he needed to.
Thus, there was no longer any reason to stand there. He got up, greeted everyone, and headed to the general bank first.
Once he left,
All the brothers finally relaxed. After bending their backs all morning, they finally dared to straighten up. The confidence of the young talents, who felt they could enjoy the admiration of beautiful women, flared back to life.
Yes, beauty has always been paired with heroes!
Once Li Mo left, everyone became young heroes!
Who is this Wanzhu Douhun?
Girls who like talented and wealthy men, or even those who like niche things like blacksmithing, can all be handled easily.
Especially Wu Chushu, with Li Mo’s help, he wouldn’t dare show off in public.
Like old Wu, who also stood up.
Holding a longsword, his hair moving without wind, he walked leisurely to the front of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion’s convoy.
“I am Wu Chushu from Hengyun Sword City. I’ve long heard that Madam Shen of the Shen family is an outstanding musician, and I specially came to deliver a visiting card.”
“Oh.”
A faint voice came from inside the carriage, and then nothing else happened.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Suddenly, the curtain of a carriage not far away was lifted, revealing a face with starry eyes.
“Are you Wu Chushu?” she asked.
“Oh? Have you heard of my name? May I ask your name, miss?”
Wu Chushu gained confidence, standing up again.
This was the normal script…
“He Huan Sect, Tu Yan.”
“Sis… Tu Yan.”
Wu Chushu was initially cautious but took a deep breath and decided to deliver the visiting card anyway.
They say the women of the He Huan Sect are untouchable, but this Tu Yan is both pure and seductive, appearing innocent yet carrying an indescribable allure…
Moreover, she seemed to worship him…
Tu Yan’s eyes shone brighter:
“I know, you know that person from Wanzhu Douhun, right!”
“…”
The scene grew even quieter, the silence deafening.
Wu Chushu was struck by lightning.
So, in her heart, he was merely someone who…
Indeed, that was the case.
The moment Tu Yan finished speaking, the carriage that had previously rejected Wu Chushu also opened its curtains, and she wasn’t alone.
Other ladies, some coming personally and others sending maids to inquire.
“How is Wanzhu Douhun as a person? Is he truly the gentle and cultured gentleman as rumored?”
“Is it true that he spends lavishly, throwing thousands of gold coins in one go?”
“I heard that in the battle of the South Border, he led from the front. I really want to see how heroic he is…”
“Oh, does he take concubines?”
“If he doesn’t take concubines, having a relationship and falling in love would be considered a successful experience.”
Being surrounded by birds singing and flowers blooming in a myriad of flowers, this was Wu Chushu’s dream scenario.
But at this moment, he was overwhelmed, speechless.
He should have followed along earlier; he wanted to escape…
Behind him, the brothers he was with were all lost in thought.
Li Mo had already left!
Without him on site, how could they feel nervous and uneasy?
They wanted to get to know the girls and consider their lifelong plans, only to find out that no one needed to consider anything anymore; everyone wanted to be favored…
Is there anyone managing this?
There is indeed someone managing this…
