C60 Chapter 53 The Secret of the Dance of the Butterfly

It was rumored that during the Spring and Autumn War Kingdom's era, when the famous political families and poets of Chu, Qu Yuan, were exiled, they lived on the Mount Yujing, beside the Miluo River. In 278 B.C., Ying, the capital of Chu, was conquered by the Qin army. Qu Yuan felt that it was hopeless to save his country. As Qu Yuan had died on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth lunar month, the commoners would pay their respects to this patriotic poet. Every year, when the day came, a grand dragon boat competition would be held, and all kinds of wrapped dumplings would be thrown into the river. Once every year, at this time, the Miluo River would be surrounded by a sea of people, extending for over a hundred miles and surrounding the entire place until not even a drop of water could leak out. In addition, Miluo Town was famous for this story.

This evening, the sky was dark and gloomy, signalling the imminent arrival of heavy rain. Miluo Town was still bustling with noise and noise, making the not-so-big town appear lively. Perhaps it was because of the annual Dragon Boat Festival, where people rushed over from all directions, thus turning this place into a bustling metropolis.

Just then, three light cavalry soldiers rushed into the town. It was Shao Jian and the rest, pulling on their reins to stop the horses, and said to Zhang Jiming and Zhang Wudie: "We have finally arrived at Miluo Town, looks like it will rain heavily in a while, let's first find an inn."

Zhang Jiming also said: "Indeed, we must hurry up and find an inn. With this many tourists, if we delay it a bit, we might even end up sleeping on the streets."

Zhang Wudie dismounted from her horse, and looked at the crowded street: "I never thought that there would be so many tourists in this small town, looks like this year's Dragon Boat Festival will be exciting." As she spoke, she reached out to help Kang down. Shao Jian and Zhang Jiming also dismounted from their horses, and started to lead the horses forward.

Little Kang ran a few steps and followed along, tugging at Shao Jian's clothes as he called out, "Big Brother Shao Jian, wait for me."

Shao Jian turned around and smiled to him, "Alright, quickly," as he said that, they walked forward, and in a short while, they arrived at a dignified inn.

Seeing that there was business coming, the waiter quickly came out and asked with a smile: "Guests, are you staying here?" Shao Jian nodded and replied. The waiter then called an old man to take the reins from the three of them and lead the horse to the backyard. He then said to the three of them, "Please come in." As he spoke, he turned around and led them into the store.

Entering the shop, Zhang Wudie asked the waiter: "Do you have any good guest rooms here?"

As soon as the waiter heard about the big business, he immediately replied, "There's a good guest room. How many rooms do you want?"

Zhang Wudie said: "Let's go to the fourth room first, I'll bring you there for us to take a look right now."

Hearing that she would be the first to enter the fourth room, the waiter was immediately shocked, thinking to himself, "Which family does this young miss belong to? "Let's go to room four first. It seems like we've met a great benefactor today." He smiled mischievously at the few of them before leading them to their respective rooms.

The waiter asked in confusion, "Why would the three of you want four rooms?"

Shao Jian smiled slightly and said, "There's still a friend who hasn't arrived yet. I'm afraid he won't have a place to stay if he's late, so I left it for him first."

Zhang Wudie laughed and took out a large gold ingot from her chest to give to the waiter, then said: "I will give you the rest, in the next two days maybe a few other friends will be coming, your shop will take good care of them, when the time comes there will be a reward."

The waiter hurriedly nodded his head and bowed, "Yes, yes, yes. This servant will definitely do as you say. If there is nothing else, this servant will take his leave first." He raised his head and saw Shao Jian nod his head before walking out.

At this time, the sky became darker and darker. After a while, a torrential downpour came from the sky. Occasionally, the sound of thunder could be heard. Because they were tired from the journey, the few of them went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, when Shao Jian woke up, it was already bright, but it was still drizzling outside. After washing up and having nothing to do, he once again took out the ââ Master of Sword Arts' and flipped through it. Just then, there was a light knock on the door, Shao Jian kept his sword technique manual and shouted: "Come in."

The group was slowly pushed aside, with Zhang Wudie entering. She then walked to the opposite side of Shao Jian and sat down, smiling: "What are you doing now?"

Shao Jian smiled at her and said: "Nothing, why are you up so early?"

Zhang Wudie looked up at the misty window, and did not directly answer him. After a moment, she said gently: "Do you like rain or snow?"

Shao Jian was startled, he thought why would she ask about this for no reason at all, raising his eyes to look at Zhang Wudie's beautiful face and pitch black hair, he asked: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Zhang Wudie slowly turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't even think of changing the topic, you just need to answer. Do you like the misty spring rain or the snowy winter?" With that, he supported his head and looked at Shao Jian's handsome face with a tinge of arrogance, and gently smiled: "Hurry up and say it, I'm waiting for your answer."

Shao Jian felt uncomfortable looking at her, he quickly averted his eyes and smiled: "Do you really need me to answer this question?"

Zhang Wudie replied: "That's right, just hurry up and say it."

Shao Jian laughed bitterly: "Alright, I have never seen someone who is forced to answer like you before. I'll just say it, but after I finish answering, you will have to answer one of my questions, isn't that what it means to be fair?"

Zhang Wudie did not care what kind of question he would ask, and anxiously replied: "Alright, just say it."

Shao Jian slightly smiled, and then said slowly: "Actually, I like both of them. In the spring, the drizzling rain heralds the revival of all living things, and the birth of all new life brings a fresh and natural atmosphere to the people; while the snowflakes represent holiness and are not eroded by any external objects, making people feel detached from the world. "

Zhang Wudie waited for him to finish speaking, then said with a smile: "You're right, but I'll let you choose one."

Shao Jian thought for a while and said, "Then I still prefer winter when snow is dancing in the air. It's because I got to know this sacred and clear season on the first day that I became sensible, and this season left many good memories for me." Saying that, he looked at Zhang Wudie and smiled. At this time, Zhang Wudie already occupied a very large position in Shao Jian's heart, which was why he was able to tell her things that only her junior brother Lan Feng knew.

Zhang Wudie looked at him and laughed: "I also like snow, because I have always wanted to be as pure and pure as the snow."

Shao Jian said: "Now, shouldn't I ask you?"

Zhang Wudie said: "Alright, ask away." She giggled and stared at his handsome face.

Shao Jian thought for a while and said: "Then tell me, are you the Third Miss of that wealthy family in the end? "Even now, I still don't know where you got your information from, and you are playing alone in the martial arts world. I think your parents will definitely worry about you."

Zhang Wudie frowned, and muttered: "Can't you ask me something else, do you always ask me that?" She then took out a jade pendant from her chest pocket and handed it over to Shao Jian, and laughed: "This is for you, you are not allowed to ask about my origins, now is not the time for you to know, there is still this jade pendant, you are not allowed to give it to others, and do not easily show it to others."

Shao Jian took the jade pendant that Zhang Wudie was holding, and the young lady's body temperature and fragrance still remained, he asked: Why did you suddenly give me this?

Zhang Wudie glared at him and said: "Just keep it safe, maybe you'll be able to use it in the future."

Shao Jian nodded his head, he smiled at her, then carefully examined the jade pendant in his hand, only to see that on the front of the jade pendant was carved the word 'sword', he was suspicious, what was the meaning of the word sword, could it be that this was the symbol of Zhang Wudie's family? Then, he flipped over the jade pendant over, only to see a dragon and phoenix engraved on the back of the pendant, Shao Jian was immediately shocked, the dragon and phoenix pattern was used by the Imperial Palace, how could a commoner dare to appear, who was this unruly Zhang Wudie? Is she? This didn't seem possible. If it really was like this, then what was the explanation for the word 'sword' on the jade pendant?
