Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shu Jun, despite his young age, had managed to read through all the books that had been cherished by generations in his family. He did not just read them, he remembered every word.

While he came from a family of medical pract.i.tioners, he was not a bookworm. He was well-versed in the affairs of the martial world.

Seeing Liu s.h.i.+mei looking puzzled, he explained, The Colored Gla.s.s Pavilion Auction House is located in the Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley on the western outskirts of the Imperial Capital. The true entrance to Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley, where thousands of b.u.t.terflies can be seen, is approximately three more miles down this road. Thats where my master will be able to witness countless b.u.t.terflies.

Liu s.h.i.+mei gazed outside at the vast fields of flowers and asked, Isnt that rather strange, though?

She pointed to the abundant flowers outside and continued, Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley is said to have thousands of b.u.t.terflies, so why havent we seen more than a few here?

Thats because there is a formation within Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley, which prevents those b.u.t.terflies from leaving, Liang Yi said as he toyed with the short knife in his hand. The b.u.t.terflies outside are wild, but the ones inside are raised by the Colored Gla.s.s Pavilion! If we want to go in later, well need their permission; otherwise, we wont be allowed in.

A formation? Liu s.h.i.+mei grasped the concept and inquired further, So, are these azalea flowers also tended by the Colored Gla.s.s Pavilion?

Liang Yi nodded and explained, Exactly. The Colored Gla.s.s Pavilion employs hundreds of people specifically to tend to all the flowers in this valley. The servants inside Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley are referred to as azalea flower servants by the outside world.

So, it seems the head of the Colored Gla.s.s Pavilion has a fondness for azalea flowers? Liu s.h.i.+mei concluded.

She thought of Colored Gla.s.s Drunk, and since Zhong Lang had some issues with Colored Gla.s.s Pavilion, she did not inquire further, merely instructing him to handle it on his own.

Now, Zhong Lang was hiding in the shadows, acting as her shadow guard. She wondered if Colored Gla.s.s Pavilions proximity would pose any threat to him.

Later, she would have to find a reason to ask Zhong Lang about this!

Liang Yi spoke, Its not that. I heard that the master of Colored Gla.s.s Pavilion has a liking for peonies. Theres a small pavilion deep in the Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley, within a radius of one hundred meters, where only peonies are planted!

Liu s.h.i.+mei pondered.

Someone who liked peonies, yet planted azaleas that covered several hills?

What kind of logic was this?

Huangfu Ling Yao turned around and saw Liu s.h.i.+mei furrowing her brows, lost in thought. His eyes twinkled, and he chuckled, How do you all know so much? Youre quite impressive!

He had a silly look on his face, and Liang Yi glanced at him, her lips twitching as she replied, Its not that we know a lot; its that you know too little!

Huangfu Ling Yao pursed his lips, clearly unhappy.

But he cast a glance at Liu s.h.i.+mei and, in the end, swallowed his dissatisfaction. He put on a smile and said to Liu s.h.i.+mei, Wife, didnt I say this place would be fun? How is it? I didnt deceive you, did I?

You didnt deceive me. Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley can be said to be the only place near the Imperial Capital that rivals Spring Garden in terms of beauty! Liang Yi s.h.i.+fted his sitting position, leaning against the carriage wall, facing him directly. He asked, But, I must ask, Future Brother-in-law, how did you know about this place?

Although the Second Prince was often bullied for being a fool, he roamed the Imperial Capital every day, so it was not strange that he knew about the fun places in the city. However, how could a fool like him know what Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley in the western suburbs was like?

It was worth suspecting!

Liu s.h.i.+mei also looked towards Huangfu Ling Yao and asked, Lingyao, has anyone brought you to Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley before?

Although Shu Jun was a face-paralyzed handsome young man, he was quite curious about his masters affairs, especially concerning this future brother-in-law who was also a fool. He looked over as well, waiting for Huangfu Lingyaos answer..
