Chapter 354: Thousand Butterfly Valley
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 rembered every word.
While he ca from a family of dical practitioners, he was not a bookworm. He was well-versed in the affairs of the martial world.
Seeing Liu Shii looking puzzled, he explained, “The Colored Glass Pavilion Auction House is located in the Thousand Butterfly Valley on the western outskirts of the Imperial Capital. The true entrance to Thousand Butterfly Valley, where thousands of butterflies can be seen, is approximately three more miles down this road. That’s where my master will be able to witness countless butterflies.”
Liu Shii gazed outside at the vast fields of flowers and asked, “Isn’t that rather strange, though?”
She pointed to the abundant flowers outside and continued, “Thousand Butterfly Valley is said to have thousands of butterflies, so why haven’t we seen more than a few here?”
“That’s because there is a formation within Thousand Butterfly Valley, which prevents those butterflies from leaving,” Liang Yi said as he toyed with the short knife in his hand. “The butterflies outside are wild, but the ones inside are raised by the Colored Glass Pavilion! If we want to go in later, we’ll need their permission; otherwise, we won’t be allowed in.”
“A formation?” Liu Shii grasped the concept and inquired further, “So, are these azalea flowers also tended by the Colored Glass Pavilion?”
Liang Yi nodded and explained, “Exactly. The Colored Glass Pavilion employs hundreds of people specifically to tend to all the flowers in this valley. The servants inside Thousand Butterfly Valley are referred to as ‘azalea flower servants’ by the outside world.”
“So, it seems the head of the Colored Glass Pavilion has a fondness for azalea flowers?” Liu Shii concluded.
She thought of Colored Glass Drunk, and since Zhong Lang had so issues with Colored Glass Pavilion, she did not inquire further, rely 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 Glass Pavilion’s proximity would pose any threat to him.
Later, she would have to find a reason to ask Zhong Lang about this!
Liang Yi spoke, “It’s not that. I heard that the master of Colored Glass Pavilion has a liking for peonies. There’s a small pavilion deep in the Thousand Butterfly Valley, within a radius of one hundred ters, where only peonies are planted!”
Liu Shii pondered.
Soone who liked peonies, yet planted azaleas that covered several hills?
What kind of logic was this?
Huangfu Ling Yao turned around and saw Liu Shii furrowing her brows, lost in thought. His eyes twinkled, and he chuckled, “How do you all know so much? You’re quite impressive!”
He had a silly look on his face, and Liang Yi glanced at him, her lips twitching as she replied, “It’s not that we know a lot; it’s that you know too little!”
Huangfu Ling Yao pursed his lips, clearly unhappy.
But he cast a glance at Liu Shii and, in the end, swallowed his dissatisfaction. He put on a smile and said to Liu Shii, “Wife, didn’t I say this place would be fun? How is it? I didn’t deceive you, did I?”
“You didn’t deceive . Thousand Butterfly Valley can be said to be the only place near the Imperial Capital that rivals Spring Garden in terms of beauty!” Liang Yi shifted 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 road 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 Butterfly Valley in the western suburbs was like?
It was worth suspecting!
Liu Shii also looked towards Huangfu Ling Yao and asked, “Lingyao, has anyone brought you to Thousand Butterfly Valley before?”
Although Shu Jun was a face-paralyzed handso young man, he was quite curious about his master’s affairs, especially concerning this future brother-in-law who was also a fool. He looked over as well, waiting for Huangfu Lingyao’s answer..
