Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "He is indeed a distinguished person, but Tiantian is just a servant girl in a wealthy family. How could she be so lucky as to meet a distinguished person? Not to mention condescending to come to our house to see him?"
"According to what you said, do you know the identities of those two people?" asked another woman in a brown dress.
Aunt Zhang lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure, but it's probably around 70% to 80%..."
"Oh? Tell me!"
Several women looked at Aunt Zhang eagerly.
Aunt Zhang shook her head in an inscrutable manner and said, "I can't say."
Ji Xingzhi listened to the conversation between Aunt Zhang and others, and raised his eyebrows slightly. When he was about twenty steps away from Aunt Zhang, the woman in green winked at everyone. Then, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to Ji Xingzhi and fell silent.
Ji Xingzhi was wearing a blue brocade robe with a blue belt around her waist. The robe was embroidered with exquisite patterns. Her long hair was tied into a bun and tied with a blue and white headband. She wore a half-mask that looked like gold, revealing a pair of dark and bright eyes, a perfect chin and beautiful lips.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
It was Aunt Zhang who reacted the fastest. She stood up and greeted Ji Xingzhi, "Sir, why are you here?"
After a pause, Aunt Zhang looked behind Ji Xingzhi. Seeing no one behind her, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Where is the young man who was traveling with you?"
The two distinguished guests staying in her house have been acting even more like grown-up girls these days. They never go out unless they can. They stay in their rooms all day and no one knows what they are doing. It is really strange that they actually go out now.
Ji Xingzhi said indifferently, "He has something to do and should be back soon."
Aunt Zhang nodded in understanding and gestured for Ji Xingzhi to sit where she had just sat, saying respectfully, "Please sit down."
Ji Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, walked forward and sat down without thinking, and asked casually: "Is there any place with beautiful scenery here?"
Aunt Zhang thought about it but couldn't figure it out. Apart from this iron tree, which could be considered a scenic spot, there was really nothing to see in this cliff village.
After a while, the brown-clothed woman suddenly said, "I know a place with amazing scenery. It's shrouded in clouds and mist, and there are pavilions and terraces. It looks like a fairyland on earth. I've forgotten the exact route, but I remember it was a long and bumpy climb up the mountain. It wasn't easy to get there."
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
The woman in green asked doubtfully, "Why haven't you told anyone about such a wonderful place?"
The woman in brown clothes looked ashamed and said, "I was just gathering herbs for my child when I stumbled up here by mistake. The mountain path is rugged and steep, and I nearly died on the way down. After the child recovered, I went to look for it, but I couldn't find the way up. I told the child's father about it, but he said I was possessed by evil spirits. But I thought no one would believe me if I told him, and he would think I was possessed by evil spirits instead, so I never told him again."
After hearing what the brown-clothed woman said, everyone fell silent, each thinking about their own things.
Ji Xingzhi pondered for a moment and then asked, "Auntie, do you remember where you came from?"
Hearing this, the brown-clothed woman nodded, stood up, turned around, pointed to the mountains in the distance, and said, "I went up from the middle mountain."
After hearing this, Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for telling me, Auntie."
If she guessed correctly, the paradise on earth that the brown-clothed woman mentioned was most likely Guanshui Peak.
