Xiu talked to one of the guards to let them stay together for a little while. They did that because the other entourage took too much space and they needed them to share some space for them. They could find some other place to rest, but their horses were already in bad condition and they didn't want to push them any harder.
The guard passed the question to one of the maidservants and she whispered to the woman who wore a with veil and covered her lower face. Yao Ling assumed that the woman was their leader. When the woman gave her agreement, her subordinates efficiently moved and quickly gave way to them.
Yao Ling accidentally met the woman's eyes and she was mesmerized by the beauty of them. The color of her eyes was mystique grey and it was a quite rare color. Yao Ling was startled for a few moments before composing herself, but she couldn't stop staring at the woman's beautiful eyes. The eyes... seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't recall where she had seen them.
