The buildings in Andu were of high quality. Even the ordinary buildings on both sides of the street had several floors. There were not many gaps between the buildings. For a nation's capital, this kind of congestion was normal.
However, there was a special place in the city. The pavilions here were generally of the lower levels, and each pavilion took up quite a bit of space, and there were rows of trees and flowers separating the pavilions from the others. Some of the pavilions looked like a garden belonging to a large family, but the design was not in the shape of a courtyard.
"This is the Southern Palace?"
Zhao Xiaoxue was puzzled as she stood at the southern entrance to the street. Why was it different from what the wedding lady had said? At least, she had never thought that the Southern Palace would look like the same street.
"Reporting to the Young Noble, this is the Southern Palace, the place where all the great elementalists live! If... Young Master wants to find the culprit, you shouldn't have come here! "
To be honest, Xia Yu and Qiu Cheng were still a bit worried when the wangfei came to investigate.
Although His Highness the Southern King did not fear anyone, these doctors were all eccentric. Although they were all weak like the wind, their hands held a power that could not be underestimated. If they were to offend them, it would be a little troublesome.
This was especially so within the Southern Palace, where His Majesty had once ordered that nobody was allowed to cause trouble inside, much less harm the Origin Doctor. Thus, the Southern Palace's territory was basically the domain of the Origin Doctor.
"Sigh!" Don't worry, I'm only here to take a look. That person's actions are indeed despicable, but fortunately, he didn't injure her. Since I don't want to pursue the matter, I won't keep on pestering him! "
Seeing the nervous expressions of the two, if Zhao Xiaoxue did not explain herself, the two of them might stay on guard, and in the end, they might not let her in. Zhao Xiaoxue could not let this happen.
"Alright, since young master has put it this way, I am relieved!"
As long as the wangfei didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, the two of them weren't afraid. Even if they did make a move, it would be easier to reason with the emperor.
"Is this really the Southern Palace? It doesn't look like it will close at all. It's clearly just one street, there's so many people, it's so lively! "
Zhao Xiaoxue walked in front and observed her surroundings. She was wondering why Niang Niang said that the Southern Palace would close. Could it be that Niang Niang didn't want to bring her here, so she purposely made up this lie?
"Young master, the Southern Palace will indeed close. It will only be open for six hours every day, for those who seek help to request a visit. During other times, outsiders will not be able to enter!"
Xia Yu patiently explained on the side.
"A membership application? Could it be that these people were all here to apply? Aren't there too many people!? "
Indeed, this was a different world. The chances of people getting strange illnesses here were quite high.
"This young master is really joking. If it were not for the annual Dou Qi Competition, how could he allow so many people to enter the Southern Palace!"
Those who came here naturally liked to join in on the fun, and upon hearing so many questions from this extraordinarily fair looking young master, they couldn't help but to ask.
"Oh, I see! Thank you for answering my questions! "
The other party looked to be around thirty years old and had quite a thick build. However, his upper and lower lip was a bit thin. It seemed that he was someone who liked to talk, but his heart wasn't bad.
"Haha, it was nothing. It was a simple task. How can I not thank you? Could it be that young master came from afar and did not know about the battle spirit competition?"
The man looked at the two men standing beside the young master with a dignified air. They did not look like ordinary guards at all. It could be seen that this young master's status was not ordinary at all.
"I... Normally, you don't like to go out, so... "He knows very little about the matters outside!"
Zhao Xiaoxue thought that she did come from a far away place, but if she said it, the two people behind her would definitely think that she was lying. After all, Snowy was a native of Anduin.
"It doesn't matter. There is nothing in this city that I do not know. If young master does not mind, we can travel together!"
"Alright!"
Since the other party was willing to recommend her to him, Zhao Xiaoxue could not refuse.
"My surname is Zhang, may I know how to address you?"
When Zhang Jingzhi reported his name, Zhao Xiaoxue felt that this person was not bad, so she said in a very serious manner,
"My surname is Zhao Mingxue!"
What Zhao Xiaoxue said could be considered the truth, but there was a small word in the middle of it.
"So it's Brother Zhao Xian!" "Let's go, it's getting late. I'm afraid the Dou Qi Competition is about to begin!"
After a few simple pleasantries, Zhang Jing led Zhao Xiaoxue to the depths of the Southern Palace because the location of the Dou Qi Competition was located at the innermost area of the Southern Palace — Lotus Flower Platform!
Scholars fought with flowers as a companion. Although the Immortal Doctor's competition was not a dance to make ink, but it was not like martial artists who would draw their swords and kill. Thus, there would always be flowers in this kind of competition.
Although he was walking in a hurry, Zhang Jing did not forget to give a supplementary lesson to this young brother Zhao, whom he had just met.
"Using a flower as a companion is indeed elegant and artistic, but why do I have to choose a lotus flower this winter?" Isn't a plum blossom good? "Could it be that little brother is ignorant and ill-informed, that the lotus flower can now bloom in winter?"
In the past, when she went against science, Zhao Xiaoxue didn't believe it at all. But ever since she came to the Spirit Continent, her appearance had never been scientific. Therefore, even if something unscientific happened, she could still accept it.
"Why can't the winter lotus blossom? If only there could be another heavy snowfall! "
As he spoke to that point, Zhang Jing had an intoxicated expression. It could be seen that he had seen such a wondrous scene before. Zhao Xiaoxue was extremely curious. Could it be that a lotus flower could bloom in the middle of winter?
Actually, among all the flowers, her favorite was the lotus flower, but she had been busy studying and did not have the time to carefully appreciate it. Occasionally, she would pass by the lotus pond in the park and couldn't help but stop to admire it.
Zhao Xiaoxue didn't think she would have the chance to see something like this after coming to this foreign world. She quickened her steps and pushed her way through the crowd to the railing.
Very quickly, a large pond over 2000 square metres long appeared in front of him. At the edge of the pond stood a crowd of spectators.
In the center of the lotus pond, there was a large round table. On both sides of the round table, a long jade table was arranged neatly. On the table, a few white-robed young men were arranging the items.
So it turned out that the battle location of this doctor was not ordinary at all. It was just that …
Zhao Xiaoxue slightly lowered her head. It was true that this was a lotus pond, but there were still green lotus leaves floating on the surface of the water. Even though there were lotus leaves, she didn't see a single lotus flower.
"Brother Zhao Xian, come here quickly!" I'll bring you to find the best place to spectate the battle! "
Zhang Jing had finally found Zhao Xue. He originally wanted to hold her hand, but was stopped by Zhao Xiaoxue.
"These are all lotus leaves, they're all the same no matter where you look!"
There was no helping it, she was too disappointed just now. Zhao Xiaoxue was not in a good mood.
