471 Shocking Secret (4)
Yu Wan held her folding fan and cupped her hands in return. “Greetings, Miss Dong.”
Dong Xian’er smiled sweetly. “Young Master, there’s no need to be so polite. Just call me Xian’er.”
Yu Wan: Uh…
“Please sit.” Dong Xian’er pointed to the chair opposite the eight-seater table.
Yu Wan and Yue Gou sat down.
Dong Xian’er glanced at Yue Gou and said with a smile, “Young Master’s guards are each stronger than the other.”
Yu Wan said politely, “You flatter me.”
Dong Xian’er raised her slender hand and poured two glasses of wine for the two of them. Yu Wan took the glass from Yue Gou. “He doesn’t drink, I’ll drink for him.”
Dong Xian’er said angrily, “Young Master, you even indulge the guards around you. Why don’t I see you doting on Xian’er?”
Here we go again. It was really scary when a woman acted coquettishly. Yue Gou was not only her guard, but also her family’s mining expert. How could she not cherish him?
Fortunately, Dong Xian’er did not harp on this. She forgot about it after asking. She leaned against Yu Wan and said gently, “I haven’t asked for Young Master’s surname?”
“My surname is Yan,” Yu Wan said as she distanced herself from her.
“Young Master Yan.” Dong Xian’er smiled as if she didn’t mind her dodging and continued to lean against her. “It’s not the time to eat now. Why are you here at Juxian Restaurant? Are you meeting someone or gathering information?”
“So Xian’er has an appointment?” Yu Wan would not be led by the nose.
Dong Xian’er did not expect that her unintentional words would reveal her thoughts, nor did she expect that such a flaw that no one would notice would be keenly captured by the other party. Dong Xian’er was stunned for a moment and said coquettishly, “So what if I did? But the person I was waiting for did not come. You men are indeed the same!”
So it was a man she was waiting for.
Dong Xian’er put on a smile again. “Young Master Yan hasn’t told me what you’re here for? If you want to ask for information, you might as well ask me. What I know might not be less than the Juxian Restaurant.”
“Is that so?” Yu Wan took a sip of wine without batting an eyelid. This woman was too cunning. If she was not careful, she could fall into her trap. Of course, Yu Wan was not to be trifled with. It was enough to fall once, but it was not so easy to let her fall a second time.
Yu Wan said seriously, “To be honest, this is my first time in the Capital. I wonder if there’s anything interesting in the Capital. I’ve been to the Biluo Villa. Is there anything equally famous?”
Dong Xian’er couldn’t help but laugh with trembling shoulders.
Yu Wan: Ex, your laughing point is a little low…
After Dong Xian’er was done laughing, she said in high spirits, “Is the Biluo Villa considered interesting? I’m afraid Young Master Yan has never been to a good place. The most famous place in the Capital is the Gu Temple.”
It’s here.
Steady.
“Are there many Gu temples in the Capital?” Yu Wan asked in a normal curious tone.
Dong Xian’er smiled. “Of course, but there are only two or three famous ones. Which one do you want to go to? I’ll accompany you.”
Yu Wan said with a vexed expression, “I don’t know which one to go to either. Are the gods worshiped in these Gu Temples the same?”
“It’s different,” Dong Xian’er said. “There are those who worship the Gu King and those who worship the Gu Queen. Young Master, have you heard of snow toads?”
You mentioned this yourself. Yu Wan said without changing her expression, “No.”
Dong Xian’er smiled and said, “The snow toad is a Gu Queen who was consecrated in the Gu Temple on Xiling Mountain.”
Xiling Mountain!
Dong Xian’er sized up Yu Wan’s expression and said with a smile, “Young Master, it seems that you’re interested in this Gu Temple. There’s no time like the present. Let’s set off now.”
Women, just because you say so!
It was naturally better to do it earlier than later. Yu Wan brought Yue Gou and boarded the carriage with Dong Xian’er to Xiling Mountain.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. They spent more than two hours climbing up the Gu Temple. However, when Yu Wan saw the golden “Snow Toad” enshrined on the table in the middle of the hall, she was dumbfounded. “This, this is the Gu Queen you mentioned?”
Dong Xian’er nodded piously. “That’s right, isn’t it very beautiful? Actually, it was also a Gu King, but because it was too beautiful, it was praised as a Gu Queen by the world.”
Yu Wan felt a bolt of lightning flash above her head. “It’s fake?”
Dong Xian’er widened her almond-shaped eyes. “It’s real. It’s made of real gold!”
Yu Wan held her forehead and panted. “No, I mean, I wasted my time climbing just to see this… statue?!”
Dong Xian’er was stunned for a full three seconds. Then, she held her stomach and laughed loudly. She laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her body. If it weren’t for the pillar supporting her, she would have rolled on the ground.
Yu Wan’s face darkened. Was it so funny?
Dong Xian’er laughed until her stomach hurt. “…Have you seen a real Guanyin in the Guanyin Temple and a real Guan Yu in the Guan Yu Temple?”
Yu Wan : “…”
I refuse to answer your question.
Dong Xian’er finally understood that Yu Wan wanted to see the live Gu Queen. However, because she was really overjoyed, she did not link the two medicinal primers. She held her stomach that was aching from laughing and said, “The… live Gu Queen is not here.”
“Then where is it?” Yu Wan said coldly. She looked especially like Yan Jiuchao!
Dong Xian’er wiped her tears of laughter. “On Gu Mountain. However, not everyone can go to Gu Mountain. Even the Queen can’t go, except for the Emperor and Gu Elder.”
Gu Elder was an elder among Gu Masters, his strength was even above that of a Great Gu Master. There were only a handful of Gu Elder in the entire Capital.
Dong Xian’er smiled. “The Gu Master Meng that the Little Commandery Princess brought is an Gu Elder. He just deliberately hid his strength to cater to the Little Commandery Princess’s play. If you want to see the live Gu Queen, why don’t you look for him? Don’t you know his senior brother? Just ask him to help you again. However, I advise you to move quickly because the Gu Queen is the only one who can replace it now that the Nanzhao Holy Artifact is gone. I wonder if the Queen will get her hands on it?”
