Chapter 202: Foreknowledge of This Matter?

...

Leaving through the gates of the Droplet Imperial City, they bypassed a stretch of Clearwater Hills and followed a trade route heading west.

The Miao Mountain Sword Sect had a total of only five members: a swordswoman wearing a broad-brimmed hat, who was slightly older, with a black veil falling from the edge of her hat, obscuring her face.

The other four girls were dressed the same, but with varying accessories.

Although they did not wear the veils all the time, they clearly preferred not to reveal their faces to strangers in unfamiliar places.

In the country where the Miao Mountain Sword Sect was based, a woman's visage was considered mysterious and sacred. Zhu Minglang had been there and noticed that in the city-states and capitals, probably more than half of the women would wear veils as commonly as earrings or jewelry, retaining a sense of hazy beauty.
