Seeing that everyone had arrived, an official from the Ministry of Rites came out to give a speech, including the things to take note of along the way. The young masters were not in the mood to listen and soon impatiently urged them to hurry up.
The official did not get angry, as this was all within his expectations. He meticulously read out everything before giving the order to set off.
The procession set off in a grandiose manner. Xue Pan could not help but approach the handsome young master, "Brother, how should I address you? You look a little familiar, have we met before?"
Song Qingshu thought, it's not strange that you find him familiar. This handsome young master is the yellow-robed girl disguised as a man. As a princess and a member of the Jianshan Academy, a top young master like Xue Pan would have most likely seen her before.
However, the yellow-robed girl had always lived in seclusion and rarely showed her face in public. Therefore, unless one was very familiar with her, they would not be able to recognize her even if she looked familiar.
"I've never seen you before." The yellow-robed girl was very cold and did not even look at Xue Pan.
Xue Pan did not mind and continued to ask, "Which branch of the Tianbo Yang Estate are you from? The Yang Estate has very few male descendants. Logically speaking, I should have heard of you."
"That's none of your business." The yellow-robed girl pulled on the reins and increased the distance between them. Her entire body seemed to be enveloped in ice, exuding an unapproachable aura.
"You have character, I like it." Not only was Xue Pan not angry, but he instead became even more interested. Just as he was about to catch up to her, Xue Baochai pulled him back with a dark expression.
"Why are you stopping me?" Xue Pan was a little dissatisfied.
Xue Baochai snorted, "Don't provoke her, or I won't be able to protect you."
Xue Pan looked puzzled, "The Yang Estate of Tianbo has long since declined. Now that our father is a high official, why should we be afraid of the Yang clan?"
"In short, there are many things that I can't explain to you." Seeing that he was still unwilling, Xue Baochai could only say, "Her martial arts is very high and she's in a bad mood. Have you forgotten that you were beaten up by Liu Xianglian?"
Xue Pan's breathing stopped. He could not help but feel a chill down his spine when he thought of the tragic situation back then. If he was beaten up in front of so many young masters, how would he be able to face others in the future? He could only give up on this idea for now.
Song Qingshu seized the opportunity to ask, "Big Sister Bao, there doesn't seem to be anyone from the Yang family on the list to go to Western Xia this time. Why is she here?"
Xue Baochai deliberated over her words and said, "She joined us temporarily, and her identity is rather special. No one dares to stop her, and Zai Fu and the others feel that with her accompanying you, she can also protect you, so they acquiesced."
Xue Pan shivered, "Is he really that powerful?"
Song Qingshu had a pensive look on his face. With the yellow-robed girl's martial arts, she was indeed competent enough to protect these people. But the key point was, didn't she tell me that she was going to go into closed-door training last time? Why did she suddenly want to go to the Western Xia this time?
"Baoyu, you are being unreasonable here," Xue Pan suddenly said.
"Huh?" Song Qingshu was confused.
"You're clearly mocking me after seeing me suffer a setback." Xue Pan said unhappily.
"You're overthinking things." Song Qingshu hadn't expected Local Bully to be such an actor.
"Of course I am," Xue Pan said angrily. "No, you should go and try to strike up a conversation with him. Only then will I be able to vent my anger."
"You shouldn't be thinking like that." Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a little amused. "What if I go and strike up a conversation with him?"
Xue Pan laughed foolishly, "That's impossible." Jia Baoyu's body reeked of makeup, so only women would look at him differently. In the eyes of men, he was definitely not as popular as a masculine man like him. Moreover, he had just experienced that handsome young master's cold demeanor. Many people had already suffered at his hands, and his mood was visibly bad. Wouldn't he be asking for a rebuff if he went over now?
"I'll go and try." Song Qingshu had originally wanted to ask the yellow-robed girl why she was going to the Western Xia. Now, he had found an excuse to go over.
The yellow-robed girl lagged behind the group, and there was no one within a one-meter radius. It was as if there was an invisible domain around her that kept people at a distance of a thousand miles.
"Get lost!" Noticing that Song QingShu had gone over, the yellow-robed woman coldly glared at him. Originally, with her self-restraint, she would not have been so rude, but she was in a bad mood, and there was also a large group of crazy bees and butterflies that kept coming to bother her. If it was anyone else, she would just chase them away, but when it came to Jia Baoyu …
Thinking that all of this was caused by Jia Shidao's rebellion, she looked at the traitor in front of her and naturally couldn't help but feel angry.
Xue Pan, who was far away, faintly heard the words "get lost" and almost laughed out loud. He instantly felt much better.
Song Qingshu didn't mind. He smiled and asked, "Why are you so angry, little sister? Is there something bothering you? "
"Little sister?" The yellow-robed girl couldn't help but frown when she heard his strange name. "You can tell that I'm a woman disguised as a man?" She often traveled in Jianghu, so she was very familiar with disguising as a man. In addition, she usually lived in the capital, so none of the people just now saw through her disguise.
Song Qingshu said, "I've been around women for a long time, so I'm very sensitive to the differences between men and women. You smell different from those stinky men."
The yellow-robed girl looked at him and said, "Your tone and expression are very similar to a friend of mine."
"Oh?" Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "You must have a good relationship with this friend, right? It seems that I've taken advantage of you. "
"No, you're as annoying as he is!" the yellow-robed girl said coldly.
"Uh …" Song Qingshu didn't expect this development at all. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you go to the Western Xia thousands of miles away because of that friend?"
"It's none of your business." The yellow-robed girl said coldly and rode to the other side. She whispered to herself, "I just took it as going out for a walk."
Song QingShu had sharp ears and eyes. When he heard what she said, he roughly guessed what was going on. Most likely, she wanted to avoid him, so she left Lin 'an for Xixia. But fate played tricks on people like this. She just happened to be closer to him.
Seeing that Song Qingshu came back, Xue Pan opened his mouth wide and said, "You could talk with him for so long. How did you do that?"
Noticing that many people were looking at them, Song Qingshu didn't want to cause more trouble, so he shrugged and said, "I was driven away by him in the end." The people around him were relieved.
They hurried all the way to the west. One day, they suddenly came to a town and found it was very lively with lanterns and streamers. A busybody couldn't help but ask a local, "What happened here? Why is it so lively?"
"Miss Hua of the Red Sleeves House will choose her guests today. Aren't we going to join in the fun?"
"Miss Hua?"
"She's the Top Courtesan of the Red Sleeves House. Everyone knows that she's an outstanding beauty. Of course, we all want to see her."
…
Hearing the discussion, Xue Pan beamed with joy as he ran over to discuss this matter with Song Qingshu and invited him to join in the fun.
"Top Courtesan?" Song Qingshu frowned. He was not interested in these things now. "You come from Lin 'an. What kind of beauty have you not seen? How beautiful can the Top Courtesan of this small place be? I won't go. "
