Zhi Family Banquet (9)

A pair of servants immediately ran from the back room. She slid the letters towards the servants. "Deliver by the end of today!" they bowed then split the stack in two before running out of the door."

Shi Rong turned on her heels to leave but was stopped by her small delicate voice. "Miss Da Lui might you mind me asking what the Zhi family has done to you madam?"

Shi Rong turned around swinging her long white hair as a light flashed in her dark eyes. "That will be revealed at the banquet at the end of the week. I shall return shortly with goods to be delivered."

The small thirteen year old girl nodded her head flipping the token into the air as it landed in her shirt.

Shi Rong walked out the door then turned behind the building walking into the abandoned side street then disappeared into the Heavenly Pavilion. Unknown to her two figures have emerged into the city walking past he building she just exited.

....

A petite lolita girl around the age of thirteen walked side by side with Xia Lingxiao. Her long curly red hair hung down her back as she walked twirling around swinging her slim yellow dress.

His long dark brown robes swayed in the breeze with every step as he hurriedly made his way through the crowd. He suddenly stopped in the middle of the street in front the Auction Hall and Messenger Center. He turned his gaze towards the small brick building and narrowed his eyes. "Hmmmm."

The small girl began pulling on his long black ponytail. "Hey Lord Lingxiao what are you looking at?" She peered around his shoulder at the small brick building with a confused expression.

Xia Lingxiao retracted his gaze looking forward once more at the bustling street and continued forward. "Nothing Shen Cao, have you located your friends in order to find that woman?"

Shen Cao continued to pull on his hair as she swayed her other head looking up into the clouds with a dazed and careless expression. "Hmmm, i have sensed them in the area but their signal is incredibly weak to the point I can barely get a reading but they are definitely here."

She returned her gaze towards the street. Her eyes landed on a servant sticking a poster on the wall. She released her grip on Xia Lingxiaos hair running towards the servant and snatching the paper from his hand. She bounced up and down returning to Xia Lingxiaos side. "Hey Hey Hey Lingxiao this Zhi family is holding a grand banquet with an entertaining show inviting the entire city and the next city over. My friends and that woman are bond to show up can we go. Can we, Can we, Can we pleaseeeee!"

Xia Lingxiao narrowed his eyebrows as he closed his eyes and crossed his arms across his bold slightly exposed chest. "We can attend for only a few moments but Shen Cao if you don't sense your friends we shall immediately search the next city. The only reason why we're here anyway is because you said you sensed them come into the city. Can't they find you?"
