Chapter 611: Marriage, Xie Xihe is confident (Update 1.31, Second Update)
Now that Xie Xihe was the only one left, it became much easier to move around.
She avoided the patrolling guards and the occasional passing Brahma maids along the way, and it only took her an hour to reach the Nanci Peak of the Fanjing Mountains.
By the way.
The Fanjing Mountains are the largest mountain range in the Ancient Martial World. They are located in the northeast of the Ancient Martial World and occupy nearly one-fifth of the area of the Ancient Martial World.
The forbidden area of the Brahma clan where the abyss is located is in the northeast of the Fanjing Mountains. From the forbidden area to the southwest is the snow-capped mountain plateau that Xie Xihe had visited before, bordering the Holy Maiden Peak, the main peak of Fanjing.
The Saint holds a high status in the Brahma tribe, even above the tribe leader. Therefore, the Saint Peak is also the highest and largest peak in the entire Fanjing Mountains, guarded by many other peaks.
The closest ones are the three secondary peaks - West Secondary Peak, South Secondary Peak, and Southwest Secondary Peak.
They are the locations of the clan elders' meeting, the storehouse and library, as well as the clan leader's and Brahma clan's main halls. They are all heavily guarded and heavily protected.
At this time, Xie Xihe was near Nanci Peak.
Unfortunately, the medicinal herbs that Xie Xihe needed were quite precious and were honored to be placed in a warehouse in Nanci Peak.
Another group of maids came from a distance. Xie Xihe had expected this and had already hidden behind a rockery in advance, waiting quietly for them to go away.
At this moment, there was a whispering voice, and Xie Xihe vaguely heard the word "Old Duan". Her ears moved slightly, and she immediately listened attentively.
The two maids at the end of the team were speaking, whispering in each other's ears while no one was paying attention.
"Has something happened in the clan? Why are treasures like the Holy Wood and the Blood Beads taken out?" one of the round-faced maids asked curiously.
The beautiful maid beside her looked up and saw that no one had noticed, so she lowered her voice and said, "Something big has indeed happened. I heard, but I'm not entirely sure, that the clan might be planning a marriage with Elder Duan."
The round-faced maid exclaimed, "Ah!" and said with wide eyes, "No, no, no... No way, isn't Mr. Duan already over a hundred years old? At this age, he still wants to arrange a marriage?"
She was troubled and whispered, "Let me be clear, I don't mean anything else. I respect and admire Mr. Duan in my heart, but... well, with his status, if we want to arrange a marriage, the woman's status must not be low. At least she has to be an unmarried legitimate daughter. But the age difference is too big. Isn't this... abusing her?"
The last few words were barely audible, but the pretty girl who was very close still heard them. She was so scared that she almost dropped what she was holding and covered her mouth.
He barely managed to hold it in, but he was also both angry and amused. He glared at the round-faced maid in warning and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever say I wanted to marry into an old family?"
He raised his head and glanced around again, lowering his voice even more: "I'm talking about Elder Duan's side! Over there! Besides Elder Duan, isn't there another one?"
The round-faced maid's eyes widened again, her level of surprise no less than before: "You mean... Master Heng?!"
The beautiful maid gave her a teachable look and asked mysteriously, "Do you remember the rumors in the clan a few days ago?"
The round-faced maid thought hard, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Are you talking about Miss Yuyao rescuing two people from the back mountain?"
The beautiful maid nodded, winked in the direction of the main peak, and said meaningfully, "Didn't Master Duan come here in person just one day ago?"
The round-faced girl had already imagined in her mind a scene where a young man in distress was rescued by a rich lady, and the two secretly fell in love, but could not be together due to the difference in their status. Unexpectedly, there was a big turn of events, and the young man in distress turned into a young master of a wealthy family. The two were a perfect match, a golden boy and a beautiful girl, and finally lived happily together.
His eyes were almost full of stars: "Wow, this is too romantic! No, I must find a way to stay on the main peak and witness this extraordinary marriage with my own eyes!"
“…”
The sound of their conversation gradually faded away, and Xie Xihe walked out from behind the rockery. His brows were calm, but there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in his eyes.
She looked up in the direction of the main peak, and after a moment of hesitation, she suddenly gave up hiding her whereabouts and walked out in a swagger.
A patrolling guard passed by and was stunned for a moment when he saw Xie Xihe and realized that it was someone he had never seen before. However, he was impressed by her demeanor and calmness, and subconsciously bowed to her.
Xie Xihe nodded casually and continued walking forward.
Only after the people walked away did the guards stand up and look at each other.
"Whose family is this lady from? She is even prettier than Miss Yuyao. Why do I seem to have never seen her before?" Someone couldn't help but express his doubts.
"I'm also wondering, such a beautiful girl, even if she's just a lady from a side branch, I shouldn't have no impression of her at all, right?"
"Huh, you haven't seen it either?"
"The same to you?"
The ten-man patrol team exchanged opinions and were shocked to find that not a single person in their group knew the young lady!!!
The captain, upon discovering this, was furious. He slapped the nearest team member on the head and angrily said, "Why should I be polite to you if I don't know you? Why are you being so respectful to me if I don't know you?!"
The team member cried out in indignation: "I was following you, Captain! You were the first to salute!"
The other team members agreed deeply.
That’s right, they all followed the salute of the previous team member.
The captain's liver ached even more. He took a few deep breaths to suppress the urge to leave, and roared, "What are you still standing there for? Chase them! That's Nanci Peak!!"
