Since the eldest apprentice brother had said there was nothing to worry about, she also didn’t worry, but she did find it a bit strange.
[Ahhhhhh, I really love this atmosphere!! This is just what a girl’s heart fluttering feels like, they really managed to capture the relationship between the two characters from the novel.]
[For the first ti, I feel that young actors do have acting skills, just look at this blushing and heart-racing appearance, I feel like my heart is racing along with it.]
[Alright, the role of the younger apprentice sister has truly been established, and now I’m quite looking forward to what Su Wan will be like. In the novel, Su Wan is superior to the younger apprentice sister in every aspect, but she doesn’t have the younger sister’s vivacity. I wonder if Shu Wan will be able to portray it.]
Quickly, Ning Xiao bid farewell to his master’s sect and descended Dawu Mountain, heading towards the Capital.
Dawu Mountain was known throughout the world, and as its eldest disciple, Ning Xiao naturally received the courting and preferential treatnt of various forces.
Marquis Ning Yuan wanted to develop a good relationship with Dawu Mountain, so he specially invited Ning Xiao to his banquet.
It was at this banquet that Shu Wan, playing the role of the Marquis Mansion’s legitimate daughter, first t Ning Xiao.
Amidst the clinking of cups and the passing of wine vessels, everyone curiously inquired about Ning Xiao’s experiences on Dawu Mountain.
Although Ning Xiao had lived in the mountains for a long ti, he had been taught the ways of social intercourse by his master since he was young, and at this mont he wasn’t the least bit nervous, conversing freely with everyone.
"Hero Ning, you’ve arrived at an opportune mont today," a middle-aged man raised his cup towards Ning Xiao, "Do you know who the most beautiful woman in the world is?"
"I do," Ning Xiao nodded.
Despite its remoteness, Dawu Mountain was not isolated from news of the outside world, and naturally, he knew that Su Wan was considered the most beautiful woman in the world.
"She is the cherished pearl of Marquis Ning Yuan," Ning Xiao replied.
"Five years ago, Marquis Ning Yuan’s daughter was still a child when she first appeared at the imperial banquet, and even then her beauty was stunning. Now, Miss Su has finally co of age, and everyone wants to behold her beauty."
"The young miss has always admired Dawu Mountain, and upon hearing that young master Ning Xiao would be coming, she specially requested to play a piece of music for you, young master Ning Xiao. Today, I am also fortunate to be brightened by Mr. Ning’s presence."
"Marquis, you honor ," Ning Xiao returned the toast to the Marquis.
"Marquis, the young miss is ready," at this mont, a servant stepped forward to report to Marquis Ning Yuan.
"Good," Marquis Ning Yuan nodded, "Let Wan’er co."
As Marquis Ning Yuan’s voice fell, curtains on both sides of the banquet hall were lowered, and a guqin and chair were placed in the center.
"The young miss has arrived."
Following the maid’s announcent, everyone’s gaze turned towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
Before long, Su Wan appeared, and in that instant, everyone felt that the moon and stars in the sky paled in comparison to her.
She wore a gorgeous and dignified ancient dress, the top made of light green satin, adorned with delicate gold thread embroidery and silver thread edging, with exquisite jade buttons decorating the collar and cuffs, and the hem inlaid with myriad, dazzling jade ornants that swayed gracefully with her every light step.
And her face, which seed to be graced with the essence of heaven and earth, truly justified the title of "the world’s most beautiful woman."
As a legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion, every movent she made was imbued with the elegance and propriety befitting a lady of a noble family.
She sat in front of the guqin, her slender jade fingers touching the strings, and the lodious sounds of the guqin instantly poured forth, delivering a splendid auditory and visual feast to all present.
[I knew Shu Wan was beautiful, but I didn’t expect her to look so stunning in ancient costu. Who understands my feeling, I am willing to hail her as the goddess of ancient costus!!]
[It’s incredible, this temperant, it truly exudes the aura of an ancient noblewoman; just by standing there, I really believe she is the legitimate daughter of a noble family.]
[This guqin music has sothing special, where did they find such a master to play? It must have cost quite a bit of money, the production team really put in the effort.]
After Su Wan had played a piece on the guqin, it took everyone a long while to co out of their trance.
"Indeed worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in the world, she truly has been a feast for the eyes."
"The Marquis has taught his daughter well, with such a daughter, what worries could there be about her limitless future?"
In the current dynasty, it was customary for ministers to send their daughters to the harem as a ans to consolidate their power.
It was common knowledge that the Holy Emperor adored beautiful won, and with looks like Su Wan’s, nearly everyone could imagine the favor and honor she would receive once she entered the harem.
The crowd discussed Su Wan’s prospects, while she stood to the side with a proper smile on her face, yet there was an inexplicable sense of loneliness about her.
At that mont, Ning Xiao suddenly interjected, "Miss, it seems your hand has been injured by the guqin strings, I hope it’s nothing serious?"
