Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, seemingly not quite understanding why Yun Chuwei had asked this question.
However, he quickly came to his senses.
He couldn't help but start thinking about it seriously.
He disliked Xiao Wenmo from the first time he met him.
He originally thought that it was the Miao King who arranged for Xiao Wenmo to be their guide, which led to his dislike of the person.
However, upon closer reflection, this doesn't seem to constitute a reason for him to dislike this person.
Just as Weiwei said, her initial answer was only out of respect for the Miao King.
As for Weiwei, she not only didn't want this guide, but she didn't even have the thought of saying another word to him.
Why did he...?
Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Xuan and slowly asked, "Have you thought of something?"
Xie Xuan shook her head: "This person gives me a very strange feeling. I'm quite sure I don't like him. Before, I thought it was because of you that I disliked him, but now I think, perhaps it's not because of you!"
Yun Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly and slowly said, "It seems we need to investigate this Xiao Wenmo thoroughly!"
Xie Xuan replied, "I'll investigate!"
Yun Chuwei immediately agreed.
She felt at ease leaving this matter to Xie Xuan.

When Yun Chuwei arrived at the place where the bonfire party was being held, she found that many people had already arrived, the bonfire had been lit, and various kinds of food had been laid out on the table next to it.
At this moment, the Miao King also arrived.
After meeting up with Yun Chuwei, he led her toward the high platform in the square.
The Miao King held this banquet to celebrate with his people and welcome Yun Chuwei's arrival.
He also wanted everyone to see what Yun Chuwei looked like, so that no one would be foolish enough to offend her.
However, to avoid any unexpected situations, he did not arrange for him and Yun Chuwei to be among the crowd, but rather on the high platform.
This makes it easier for the guards to protect them.
On the way to the high platform, the Miao King couldn't help but ask, "Miss, didn't I tell you that my younger brother has been following you and acting as your guide? Why isn't he here? But he's been disobedient and hasn't come to see you."
Yun Chuwei didn't hide anything and said directly, "He came to see me, but I felt I didn't need a guide, so I let him leave."
The Miao King frowned slightly, realizing that his younger brother still couldn't win Miss Yun's favor.
Yun Chuwei then asked, "The Miao King and Young Master Xiao seem to have a very good relationship?"
The Miao King seemed to recall past events and said with a smile, "I am more than ten years older than this younger brother. When he was born, I had already established my own residence. After our mother passed away, I raised him. Naturally, we have a very good relationship."
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "Young Master Xiao has been to the Central Plains?"
The Miao King shook his head in denial, but then asked with some curiosity, "Why would the young lady ask such a question?"
“I just saw Young Master Xiao perform the Great Chu salute to me, and it was very standard. I thought he had been to the Central Plains!” Yun Chuwei explained.
The Miao King immediately took credit, saying, "That was because I specially found someone to teach him, and I also told him that when he sees the young lady, he should perform the Great Chu etiquette."
Yun Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly, then smiled: "So that's how it is."
The two reached the platform, politely declined each other's invitation, and then sat down together. Their tables and chairs were not arranged in a hierarchy, but rather side-by-side.
Yun Chuwei had no objection to this sorting.
However, she did not intend to let Xie Xuan, who had been following her, stand there indefinitely.
So, she smiled and said to the Miao King, "Please, Your Majesty, give Lord Wen a seat next to me."
In an instant, the Miao King was filled with turbulent emotions.
Having the privilege of being given a seat next to the young lady is not something everyone can have.
At least when Lord Huo was in power, this situation wouldn't have occurred.
Or rather, even if a position were offered to Lord Huo, he would strictly adhere to the rules and refuse such a position.
And what about this one?
The Miao King showed no emotion on his face, but simply followed Yun Chuwei's instructions and had the maid add a seat.
After that, he kept looking at Lord Wen, wanting to know how Lord Wen would handle the current situation.
He hadn't expected that Lord Wen would sit down without any pressure whatsoever.
Lord Wen even picked up the tea on the table, poured himself a cup, and drank it. After he finished drinking, he picked up another cup, poured a cup, and placed it in front of the young lady.
After that, he poured himself another glass and continued drinking.
In the eyes of the Miao King, this man's demeanor was somewhat casual and rude.
However, the young lady didn't seem to blame him at all.
Is this the kind of man who's been spoiled by a rich young lady? He was once again convinced of his wise decision to have his younger brother try to please her.
If the younger brother catches the eye of the young lady, wouldn't he be spoiled rotten by her?
When that time comes, the Miao region will surely also gain glory, just as the saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
He was once again relieved that he had arranged other ways for his brother to gain public recognition.
So the Miao King spoke up, "Young lady, to express our welcome to distinguished guests, we Miao people always present Miao dances. Young lady is a distinguished guest of our Miao region, and I have had them prepare the best dance. Why don't you come and watch it with me?"
Yun Chuwei nodded: "Alright!"
King Miao was pleased with Yun Chuwei's straightforwardness. He clapped three times, and drumbeats resounded in the square.
Soon, a lithe man led a dozen or so men to the square and began to dance.
The lead dancer was none other than Xiao Wenmo.
Xiao Wenmo's clothes seemed to be specially designed; they were a garment resembling the Wenwu embroidery.
On one side are wide sleeves that flutter and rustle with the rhythm, tracing exquisite arcs.
On the other side, there was no fabric at all, revealing her shoulders and arms. The firm yet not bulky lines of her muscles showcased a healthy beauty.
The men behind Xiao Wenmo were all shirtless.
The sight of a dozen teenagers dancing energetically to the beat of a drum was truly striking.
Yun Chuwei's gaze fell on that group of people, a smile playing on her lips; she seemed to be in good spirits.
Seeing Yun Chuwei watching intently, the Miao King couldn't help but feel a little smug.
He knew that a capable woman like Miss would definitely not be able to resist a multitude of handsome men.
He felt that even if it wasn't his own younger brother, any other young man who caught the young lady's eye would be excellent!
Xie Xuan, sitting next to Yun Chuwei, looked rather unpleasant.
He reached out and grabbed Yun Chuwei's wrist, almost gritting his teeth as he said, "Yun Chuwei, was the dance very beautiful?"
Yun Chuwei glanced at Xie Xuan, knowing he must be jealous.
She smiled, not teasing him, but whispered, "Look at Xiao Wenmo's dancing, can you tell if there's anything wrong with it?"
