Chapter 424: The Divine Maiden Appears
Chapter 424: The Divine Maiden Appears
The weather was calm and pleasant.
Tan'er was awakened by the sound of wind chimes, stretching lazily and rolling over, only to fall onto the ground with a loud thud.
Rubbing her sore head, she stood up groggily, "Young Master, the bed in your room is too small!"
Shang Wuyou's voice sounded indifferent, "Are you awake? If you are, hurry up and pack, we're leaving soon."
Tan'er tilted her head towards Shang Wuyou, who was sitting in a chair reading, "Why are you in my room?"
Shang Wuyou turned a page of his book, "I'm in your room because of you."
Tan'er looked around and patted her head, "I remember now, something's not right. I think you're feeling down, so I slept in your room."
She couldn't share a bed with Shang Wuyou, and the small bamboo bed she slept on explained why she fell to the ground when she rolled over.
Shang Wuyou coldly humphed, "You sleep like the dead. If I were feeling down, I would have died a hundred times over."
Tan'er furrowed her brows, "Why are you acting more and more like the Grand Commander?"
Shang Wuyou turned away, "I would never be like that woman's man."
Tan'er: "...That's hard to say."
"Young Master, may I enter?" A maid's voice came from outside the door.
Shang Wuyou glanced at Tan'er, who was bowing her head and adjusting her collar without any hesitation.
He quickly averted his gaze and said, "Be mindful, young lady."
Tan'er responded with an 'oh,' and swiftly took off her cotton-padded jacket.
Shang Wuyou immediately turned his back and sat upright, facing the wall.
"It turns out there was a needle leaf that pricked me all night."
Tan'er plucked the leaf and put her jacket back on.
"Are you done?" Shang Wuyou asked.
"Yes," Tan'er replied.
Only then did Shang Wuyou allow the maid to enter.
The maid fetched water for Shang Wuyou to wash up. Seeing Tan'er bent over, adjusting her sleeves, the maid's eyes flashed involuntarily.
Shang Wuyou glared at her, "Don't speak out of turn, or I'll cut out your tongue."
The maid was startled.
When did the Young Master become so ruthless?
Who has he been learning from outside?
Shang Wuyou cleared his throat lightly, "You may leave now."
"Yes, yes," the maid replied.
After she left, she remained shocked for a long time.
Today, they were going to Safehaven Hospital.
When Shang Wuyou and Tan'er reached the entrance, the carriage was already prepared.
Gongsun Ziyu sat in one of the carriages, opening the window and speaking to the two of them in a peculiar tone, "If you don't want to go, don't keep others waiting for so long!"
Tan'er pouted, "Did you wait for us?"
"Ziyu," another woman's voice slowly echoed from inside the carriage. It was gentle and elegant, yet carried an air of authority and dignity.
Gongsun Ziyu's temper was instantly suppressed as she glared at the two of them and closed the curtain.
"Wuyou, your carriage is behind." The woman's voice was like a heavenly melody, reminding Tan'er of Miaojiang. She thought of the Divine Maiden, whose voice was the second most pleasant after her sister's.
Tan'er tilted her head, "I like my sister the most."
Her sister's voice was the most pleasant, followed by the Divine Maiden, and then Baozhu...
"It's been a long time since we've seen Baozhu. I miss her." Tan'er sighed.
Shang Wuyou glanced at her, "What are you thinking about all day? Why are your thoughts so outlandish?"
Tan'er jumped onto the carriage, "Young Master, come up quickly!"
Shang Wuyou's mouth twitched. You still remember that I'm Young Master,' but how can a maid get into the carriage before the Young Master? On their way to Safehaven Hospital, besides Shang Wuyou and the two daughters of the Gongsun family, there were also numerous disciples and royal guards accompanying them.
After all, Gongsun Liuying's status was not what it used to be. She was not only the eldest daughter of the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion but also the future daughter-in-law of the imperial family.
Tan'er lifted the curtain, gazing at the bustling citizens and tightly packed buildings, and asked, "Young Master, will you also go to the Spirit Mountain to help the Safehaven Hospital?"
Shang Wuyou replied, "There's no Safehaven Hospital on Spirit Mountain, but my eldest sister has a kind heart. She often hides her identity and goes to villages to provide medical treatment and cure illnesses without asking for a single cent.
Tan'er immediately said, "Elder Sister is also like that!"
Shang Wuyou hummed, "How can she compare to my eldest sister? My eldest sister is the daughter of destiny, born under an auspicious sign, with exceptional talent and knowledge. Not only is she highly skilled in medicine, but she's also proficient in the art of escaping through the gates of ghosts and spirits. She's the one who has mastered the Thirteen Ghost Gates Needles to the highest level."
Tan'er hugged herself, "Elder Sister is also like that!"
Shang Wuyou spoke sternly, "You'll come to understand my eldest sister's abilities later, and you'll admire her."
Tan'er said solemnly, "No, I won't!"
Shang Wuyou: "My eldest sister..."
Tan'er: "Shut up!"
"Whose carriage is that?"
"It's from Qianji Pavilion."
"Who's traveling with such a grand procession?"

"There are royal guards, so it must be a young miss, right?"
"Is it her?"
The ordinary citizens stopped in their tracks, casting reverent glances at the carriage.
"My grandson suddenly had a high fever and couldn't stop vomiting. The doctor said there was no hope, but it was this young miss who saved my grandson!"
"My mother-in-law fell last month, and it's dangerous for an elderly person to fall. Fortunately, she encountered the young miss from Qianji Pavilion, and my mother-in-law was saved."
"I remember last month, a village was plagued by rats, and it was this young miss who helped the villagers solve the problem."
The ordinary citizens couldn't help but praise Gongsun Liuying whenever her name was mentioned.
Gongsun Ziyu had a look of disdain on her face, but she was sincerely impressed by her eldest sister, "Elder Sister, you're truly amazing!"
"Hmph."
On the second carriage, Tan'er scoffed.
Shang Wuyou said, "My eldest sister has genuine abilities. She's not like that Xun Crown Prince from the Great Zhou, who seeks fame and steals others' credit. If you don't believe me, you can try her."
Tan'er swiftly shot out a silver needle.
Shang Wuyou's expression changed, "You—"
The silver needle flew into the front carriage, piercing Gongsun Liuying's back of the head.
Gongsun Liuying remained calm, like an ancient well. She slightly tilted her head and used two fingers to catch the incoming silver needle with force.
With a swift movement of her hand, she shot the needle back, unmoved.
Tan'er looked at the silver needle stuck in the carriage wall, its tail still swaying, indicating the immense force behind it.
Shang Wuyou broke out in a cold sweat, "You're crazy! How dare you attack my eldest sister?"
Tan'er said with confidence, "Try me if you don't believe me!"
Shang Wuyou quickly called out to the front carriage, "Elder Sister—"
Gongsun Liuying calmly said, "It's fine, don't take it to heart."
Shang Wuyou's expression relaxed.
Tan'er touched her chin.
Whether that Kirin Prince is a fool or not, I don't know, but this Gongsun Liuying truly has some skills.
The successor of the Thirteen Ghost Gates Needles, previously only had a sister, and now there's also Gongsun Liuying.
What a bother.
Miaojiang, Wushan.
Bao Shu was awakened in the middle of the night by a series of sneezes.
Holding onto Wolf Cub's tail, she went to find Liu Muyan, dragging him like a small doll.
Liu Muyan stood at the peak of Wushan, observing the stars.
"Zhaoshao has come."
She spoke softly.
Bao Shu looked up at her, "I miss Mother."
Liu Muyan gazed at the starry sky, "Does Zhaoshao want to find Mother?"
Bao Shu thought for a moment and said maturely, "To accompany Great-Grandmother."
Liu Muyan patted her head and looked at the vast starry sky again, "Tianfu, the master of the Southern Dipper, takes the divination of Kun, and is the Phoenix Star Cluster. Why are there two Tianfu?"
Bao Shu looked up at the sky with a serious expression, "One hundred stars."
It's the first watch of the night, the last day of double rewards. Hurry and check your pockets, and if you have tickets, vote now!
