8 The geniuses of the noble families {Part 3}

Di Cheng was in awe watching the city which is surrounded by four large pagodas and the streets are decorated with colored lanterns and flowers, as many people from different parts of province visit this place, the entire city immersed in the festive atmosphere. Di Cheng and Di Chen visited some stalls and bought some expensive things.

Di Cheng was more enthusiastic in selecting decorative items for his mother whereas Di Chen bought items which will help his cultivation. " Brother Chen, I never thought cultivation resources are that expensive. I only bought a few decorative items as a gift for my mother and I almost used up my pocket expenses. " Di Cheng said to Di Chen while looking at the nearby stalls.

Di Chen thought for a while and said, "Di Cheng even though you are not a cultivator you should use a storage device to store and carry things. Take this bracelet it is a gift from me," with that he took a silver colored bracelet with red stripes and gave it to Di Cheng. Di Cheng wore the bracelet and stored the things he bought.

While they are strolling a commotion broke out nearby palace walls and saw people crowded there to watch the fun. Di Chen and Di Cheng are watching from distance. There is a girl picking the flowers and broken vase lying on the ground she was none other than Xia Ling the maid in the imperial palace and there are three people staring wickedly at her they are young masters of Tu, Chu, and Su families. Tu She of Tu family is angrily looking at Xia Ling and said, "Damn bitch!! How dare you splash water on me, do you know who I am?"

Xia Ling slowly stood up and hung her head low she didn't speak. "Tu She just let it go, she didn't do it on purpose and nothing happened to you," advised Chu Yan of Chu family but his eyes never left her. " Tu She, it is not good for your reputation to cause trouble, just ask something to compensate and everything will be settled," said Su Song of Su family lewdly.

Many people in the crowd understand the nature of these young masters but no one spoke, they don't want to meddle in the affairs of noble families. When Xia Ling heard them she trembled in fear and her face became pale. She is a maid in the imperial palace, but she doesn't want to cause trouble, maids in the palace don't have any special significance, if people in palace knows about this, it will ruin the palace reputation, so she has to endure it.

"Brother let her compensate with 100 gold coins or let her serve for three days in our courtyard as a maid," Su Song suggested.

They want to take her as a plaything, by looking at her dress they knew she is not a cultivator and came from the ordinary background but her looks are exceptional, she is beautiful and has fair white skin and long black hair. Su Song thought if she is from an ordinary family taking out 100 gold is impossible, so she has to choose the second option.

When Xia Ling heard what Su Song said her face turned green, she works as a maid for the princess, so she doesn't lack anything, but she didn't bring a lot of money now.

When she was in a dilemma how to overcome the situation a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist she was startled and saw a youth wearing a warm smile looking at her said, "Sister, where have you gone, I was searching for you everywhere. Let's go home mom is looking for you." It was none other than Di Cheng. Xia Ling is looking at the youth grabbing her wrist foolishly.
