It took about two hours to reach the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, six sedan chairs sent by Wanshou Temple were already waiting for your arrival.
"Master Murong, ladies, the host has arranged sedan chairs for you. Please get in."
Murong Qingyun returned the greeting to the young monk who was in charge of receiving them and said, "Young Master, I would like to thank Master Zhiyuan for his meticulous arrangements. Today we are here to pray for the Emperor, and since we are praying, we must be sincere. Let's not take the sedan chair, let's walk up from here."
"Yes." The young monk bowed to Murong Qingyun and said politely, "Mr. Murong and Miss Murong, please follow me."
"Let's go, Xiao'er." Murong Qingyun looked at Murong Xiao, who was wearing a light blue dress and looked like a willow in the wind, and her heart was filled with joy. Naturally, she ignored the other four women who were secretly envious of her.
As they went along, Murong Qingyun acted as a qualified guide, introducing the scenery around Wanshou Temple and the origins of its historical sites.
In his opinion, Murong Xiao had been locked up in a secret room for many years, and this was his first time out of the palace. Although he was doing so under the pretext of praying for the emperor, he actually regarded today's trip as their first date outside the palace.
Listening to Murong Qingyun explaining to him non-stop, and then asking her if she was tired, Murong Xiao answered with the smile of a lady from a wealthy family.
According to her previous personality, she would have taken Murong Yan to her side to accompany her. Because she was Murong Yan's only friend and her only support here, so she should take care of her.
But now she didn't want to. One day, they would be fighting for their lives, a life-or-death struggle. There was no point wasting her expression. Even if it was just a pretense, she didn't want to.
Seeing her sullen and angry, Murong Xiao felt incredibly happy. In this new life, just seeing Murong Yan's gloomy face made her happy. For a while now, she had made it her pastime to piss her off intentionally or unintentionally. If she didn't get her sulking for a day, she'd feel bored.
Although Murong Xiao and his group did not reveal their identities, they walked up the mountainside all the way. Seeing this, many people made way for them.
This group of handsome men and beautiful women are so eye-catching that you can tell at a glance that they are descendants of noble families.
"Get out of the way! The sedan is coming! Get out of the way!"
Just when Murong Qingyun and his group were about to reach the top of the mountain on foot, there was a sudden noise from behind, accompanied by a few screams from time to time.
Without looking back, one could tell that some sedan chairs were going up the mountain like crabs, bumping into pedestrians on the roadside. Some of them were thrown into the grass nearby because they could not dodge in time.
For a moment, everyone was indignant and very dissatisfied with the person in the sedan chair.
"Get out of the way, those in front!"
The sedan chair was moving very fast, and the bearer was not a monk from the temple. He shouted at Murong Qingyun and his group in front of him in a loud and rough voice.
The unreasonable shouting of the sedan bearer made Murong Qingyun frown slightly, and also made Murong Xiao frown slightly.
Murong Qingyun frowned because, in the entire capital, apart from those few princes, he had never taken anyone seriously. Furthermore, in the capital, every young man of some status, even the princes, knew his name. Who dared to be so unreasonable?
And the blind people behind him actually dared to scold him! How dare they bump into Xiao'er. Today, even if it was just to establish his authority in front of Xiao'er and let her see his reputation and status in the capital, he would definitely not let those people behind him pass smoothly.
