"Now that we've arrived in Chang'an, after a long and tiring journey, let's go and explore this ancient and magnificent city!"
"it is good…"
Ayao readily agreed, since Shao Siyuan wasn't in a hurry, she didn't bother to worry about it.
Anyway, the so-called "destined person" is someone who is destined to be with Shao Siyuan, not her.
"Boss, check out!"
After paying the bill and leaving, Shao Siyuan accompanied A Yao as they strolled around Chang'an City.
Both women were wealthy, so they bought whatever good things they came across along the way.
For an hour, the smile on Little Deer Girl's face never stopped.
"Xiaoyuan, where are we going now?"
Looking at the various jewelry and snacks displayed in the storage bracelet, Ayao, with a string of candied hawthorns in her mouth, asked a question indistinctly.
Time is frozen within the storage bracelet's space; food stored inside won't spoil even after a hundred years. Therefore, taking advantage of the ample time, Little Deer Girl quickly prepared a large amount of food for herself.
"It's getting late, let's hurry to the Court of State Ceremonial..."
"That's a post station where the Tang Dynasty received foreign envoys and guests. We can stay there and rest..."
As she spoke, Shao Siyuan took out a map of Chang'an that she had just purchased from the Chamber of Commerce and began to examine it with a frown, searching for the location of the Honglu Temple.
"right here!"
"First go east, then south, and finally west!"
........................
After wandering around for an hour, Shao Siyuan finally brought A Yao back to the starting point where they had set off.
"Xiaoyuan, do you even know the way?"
Looking around at the somewhat familiar surroundings, Ayao was speechless.
How come she never noticed before that Xiaoyuan had such a terrible sense of direction?
Could it be because they have always lived deep within the Xuanwei Forest, are exceptionally familiar with it, and have never left?
"Of course I recognize it!"
Noticing the speechless look in Xiaolu Nu's eyes, Shao Siyuan felt a little embarrassed, but still maintained a tough tone.
"So tell me, which way should we go now?"
A sly glint flashed in A Yao's eyes, her tone full of teasing.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush..."
"I'll go ask for directions first..."
After saying this, Shao Siyuan headed towards a small stall next to her.
Ayao:………………
Upon approaching the stall, Shao Siyuan called out to a figure in a blue robe standing with his back turned.
"Young master, excuse me..."
"May I ask you for directions?"
The sound was crisp and melodious, like a gentle stream flowing through the heart, exceptionally pleasant to hear.
"Ask for directions?"
"Where would you like to go, young lady?"
Recognizing that the person asking for directions behind him was a woman, Jiang Che replied and subconsciously turned around to look. Shao Siyuan's exquisite face immediately came into view.
The young girl was beautiful, with well-defined features, delicate eyebrows, bright red lips and white teeth, eyes as clear as water, and snow-white skin. Her oval face was exquisite and flawless, fair and smooth, and her long, emerald-green hair cascaded down to her hips.
Wearing a light red long dress, her figure was slender and shapely, with exquisite curves. The long dress perfectly concealed her figure, making it difficult for anyone to see anything about her.
The girl possessed an ethereal quality, profound and mysterious, dignified and elegant, as pure as the first snow.
Isn't this Shao Siyuan?
Looking at the girl's exquisite face in front of him, Jiang Che was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
After his cultivation breakthrough, Jiang Che suddenly had a whim. Under the influence of the "Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune" entry, he had a premonition that he would have an opportunity to gain something that night. So he left Qingyun Manor and came to Chang'an City to wander around.
After wandering around for an hour, they didn't encounter any rare and precious treasures, but instead ran into Shao Siyuan, who came to ask for directions.
So, this girl is my destiny?
The more Jiang Che thought about it, the stranger it seemed. If Shao Siyuan was his destiny, then it actually made sense...
After all, doesn't this woman's name contain the character "缘" (yuan, meaning fate or destiny)?
Jiang Che glanced at a little girl who looked to be less than 1.5 meters tall behind Shao Siyuan and immediately recognized her.
Yao Mei?
Good heavens, it's this little girl!
You should know that in the game, this female character is someone that countless male players deeply hate!
Yao looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. She was petite, with a small chest and a perky bottom. Her face was youthful and slightly chubby, with delicate features and a cute, youthful appearance. She had a kind of fair, slender beauty.
Loli!
She's a legal loli!
Jiang Che felt his inner loli soul begin to burn fiercely.
If I were to hold this in my arms... cough cough...
As the saying goes, I desire both mature women and cute girls.
Only children make choices; Jiang Che wants them all!
Of course, although Jiang Che thought this way, he didn't show it on his face. If he came up with a creepy uncle-like demeanor, he probably would scare the little girl away...
………………
"Young master, may I ask which direction the Court of State Ceremonial is located in..."
As Jiang Che sized up Shao Siyuan, Shao Siyuan was also sizing up Jiang Che.
With a face like jade, eyes like bright stars, a tall and straight posture, and an unrestrained and elegant demeanor.
He is truly a handsome and elegant man!
A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, and she smiled brightly as she expressed her request.
What is this called?
The mountains and rivers seemed to block the way, but then a village appeared amidst the willows and flowers.
She was initially unsure about finding her "destined one," but unexpectedly, she met him right away.
Fate is truly wondrous; will it somehow draw two destined people together?
In the past, I prayed for others' fate, but now I, Shao Siyuan, have truly experienced the wonder of fate.
"The Court of State Ceremonial?"
"That's where the Tang Dynasty receives guests from all over the world. Are you two young ladies here to attend the International Lantern Festival as well?"
Jiang Che asked, feigning surprise.
"That's right, we come from the great river valleys, invited to attend the International Lantern Festival convened by Her Majesty the Empress..."
"Does the young master have the time to show you the way?"
Shao Siyuan nodded with a smile and immediately changed her mind, wanting Jiang Che to guide her.
Now that she has finally met her destined one, she naturally wants to learn more about him.
Ayao raised her soft, milky-white face, blinked her watery eyes, and looked at Shao Siyuan for a moment, then at the man in front of her, a hint of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.
This was the first time she had ever seen Shao Siyuan approach a man and offer to show him the way.
Instinctively, the little deer girl felt that Shao Siyuan must have some ulterior motive.
Could it be that this man in front of her is the one she calls her destined one?
.....................................
094: Diao Chan: My lord, I have no way to repay your great kindness. I am willing to offer myself to you!
"certainly……"
"Your question comes at an opportune time, young lady. I do have nothing to do at the moment, but I'd like to take you two ladies to the Court of State Ceremonial when I have time..."
Jiang Che nodded, thought for a moment, and then agreed.
Jiang Che would certainly not refuse Shao Siyuan's request.
Since we have nothing else to do, taking Shao Siyuan to the Court of State Ceremonial can even strengthen our relationship, so why not?
After all, who would refuse the opportunity to spend time alone with a beautiful girl or a legally cute loli?
"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, young master..."
Seeing that Jiang Che had agreed, a hint of surprise flashed in Shao Siyuan's eyes. She smiled sweetly and thanked Jiang Che.
"a piece of cake……"
"please……"
...........................
After leaving the West Market, Jiang Che led Shao Siyuan and A Yao to stroll around Chang'an City for half an hour before arriving at the Honglu Temple, located in the east of the city.
Having made frequent trips to the Honglu Temple over the past two days, Jiang Che was already very familiar with the route and easily led the two women to the entrance of the Honglu Temple.
"Young lady, this is the Court of State Ceremonial..."
"Once the maids have confirmed the invitations you have, they will arrange your accommodations..."
Jiang Che slightly raised his eyes to look at the Honglu Temple in front of him, and smiled faintly at Shao Siyuan beside him.
