Chapter 159: Giving Gifts
"Is it really an invitation for distinguished guests?"
Yang Xu had not seen the words on the invitation, but from the expression that appeared on the face of the maid Xiao Qian, he could easily guess.
"Hmph!"
He snorted coldly and immediately stopped paying attention to Mo Wangchen, turning to Xiao Qian instead, "Noon is almost upon us, please hurry and lead us inside."
"Please follow me, the three of you!" Xiao Qian bowed slightly and then walked ahead, leading Mo Wangchen, Yang Xu, and Luo Tian toward the VIP area.
As they walked, Yang Xu glanced at Mo Wangchen and suddenly sneered. He then looked at Xiao Qian, "I see that the lady has a robust aura. Could it be that you have reached the first layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm? Could you possibly be one of Empress Yun’s or Emperor Yun’s close attendants?"
Xiao Qian, being at most twenty-one or twenty-two years old and having achieved the Spirit Transformation Realm at such an age, was considered a remarkable talent in Yun Country. Such a person would unlikely be a mere palace maid and was very likely someone close to Emperor Yun or Empress Yun.
"Replying to Young Master Yang," Xiao Qian smiled, her demeanor possessing the grace of a well-brought-up young lady, and she was keenly aware of proper etiquette, "I am a maid serving close to Empress Yun. I take care of Her Majesty’s daily needs. Today is Her Majesty’s birthday, and the palace is short of staff, so I came here to assist."
