When they went down the Star Picking Tower, she was still carried down on Xiao Xu's back.
Wood Spirit had heard a lot about this famous Chu Qing-Yan, but when he saw with his own eyes how his master did not oppose her, and even carried her intimately on his back like a child. He finally believed it, that master treated this little girl doll differently from other people indeed.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he swept a look at the cloud jade that Chu Qing-Yan was playing with in her hand in passing and was immediately stunned.
At this time, he heard her tilt her head to ask his family's master. "Body protecting pearl doesn't sound like a good name, can I change its name?"
"Whatever you want."
"Then I've decided, 'stars' it is!" Chu Qing-Yan smilingly said.
Xiao Xu did not comment on it.
Afterwards, Wood Spirit stared helplessly as Chu Qing-Yan tossed the pearl up and down. Little Great Aunt, you are playing with something worth a city in your hands ah! When he saw her carelessly stuff the pearl into her sleeves, Wood Spirit's two eyeballs almost popped out.
He used his eyes to ask his family's master, did you not tell this little great aunt that there are only three pieces of cloud jade that have been discovered in this world, and that among the pieces was the one in her hand?
Xiao Xu shot him a faint glance, does it matter if he told her or not?
Wood Spirit really wanted to poke his eyes out, if he had known this earlier, even if you beat him to death, he wouldn't have helped master to grind this cloud jade into the size of a pearl and let this little great aunt play with it like a marble!
Chu Qing-Yan could feel that Wood Spirit's gaze was always on her, so she raised her brow and looked towards him. However, to her surprise, he had already turned his gaze away. She originally wanted to build a good relationship so later she could secretly learn from him. After all, their craftsmanship was really too outstanding! If in the future she left the prince's manor with nowhere to go, she could still use this craftsmanship to make a living!
And at this moment, Chu Qing-Yan heard Xiao Xu coldly command. "Tear it down."
"Yes." Wood Spirit accepted the order and waved towards the people behind him. The people immediately swarmed up, dashing up the stairs, and quickly and efficiently started to tear it down.
Chu Qing-Yan looked on dumbstruck, in a blink of an eye, she saw three floors had already been torn down.
She somewhat came to a realization. On top of this high mountain, a tall tower appeared mysteriously. It was built very quickly with an elaborate design, very likely it would arouse other people's suspicions. Therefore, it was better to tear it down after building it to avoid people with aspirations in getting information to use against him. Moreover, Xiao Xu's identity was right there, if this was to spread to Western Xuan's Emperor, she feared that there'd be more veiled criticisms. She looked at the Star Picking Tower that was lower by a huge chunk in an instant with sorrow in her heart.
It was the first time she had gotten so close to the endless sea of stars.
The very first time that someone had really built a Star Picking Tower just because of some nonsense she made up.
She couldn't help but recall a classic story, it was the play "The feudal prince bestows fire", where King You of Western Zhou kingdom, in order to get a smile from Bao Si his concubine, one of the famous Chinese beauties in history, he did something preposterous. And Big Block of Ice, for her birthday actually wasted so much manpower and physical resources; wasn't he just like King You of Zhou?
