In the bustling city of Jiankang, the streets were filled with people, and the atmosphere was lively. Suddenly, the crowd surged towards the city gate, blocking the way and causing a stir.
The reason for this commotion was the arrival of a certain someone. The news spread like wildfire, and people rushed to catch a glimpse of him.
"Ah! It's Wei Jie! Wei Jie is in the capital!"
"The most beautiful person in the world, Wei Jie, pure as ice and smooth as jade, his name renowned throughout the land, even Heavenly Immortals would bow their heads to him."
"Legend has it that when he was five years old, his exceptional demeanor and bearing caused a sensation during a trip to Luoyang, and people marveled that he was like a little figure carved from a jade disc."
"He was even more beautiful at thirteen. I was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of him from afar in Hedong Commandery. His stunning beauty shook my heart, and I still can't forget it."
"Now he's twenty-five, who knows what he's like? I'm going to die if I can't see him."
The crowd surged to catch a glimpse of him, their eyes filled with longing and anticipation.
The curtains on the carriage were lowered, concealing his figure. The crowd erupted in extreme dissatisfaction, completely blocking the road, trapping the carriage in the middle like a wall.
The guards who should have been maintaining order in the marketplace also stood by, craning their necks in anticipation.
It was as if Wei Jie, having arrived, would not be allowed to pass through this street without showing himself to the elders of the capital!
"Shu Bao, let me see you!"
"I saw you twelve years ago and haven't been able to forget you since. I've thought of you day and night..."
"If I miss this fated encounter today, I will die on the spot."
Some who had seen Wei Jie's extraordinary grace and beauty, their long-held yearning erupted at this moment, and they surged forward.
Several people actually rushed forward and forcibly pulled down the curtains, their strength so great that they almost dismantled the carriage.
Instantly, a peerless face was revealed, causing the onlookers to fall completely silent for a moment.
The beauty of that single glance left everyone breathless, even Hermit Zichen, hidden in the crowd, stopped breathing.
"This person's countenance is like a water mirror, reflecting brilliance, as if seeing the blue sky through clouds and mist."
"No matter who it is, upon seeing Wei Jie at this moment, they were entranced."
He was like a clear, bright mirror among men, radiating an unparalleled radiance, like seeing the blue sky after the clouds and mist had dispersed.
From his appearance to his posture, from his aura to his demeanor, nothing was flawed.
Perhaps his only flaw was the lingering, sickly air that permeated this dazzling, exquisite beauty.
He was weak, extremely weak, with a slight frown between his brows, as if plagued by an unremovable illness. Even the light silk brocade seemed to weigh him down.
Yet, this very weakness, this flaw, seemed to make him truly perfect.
After all, something too exquisite, without a single blemish, might be difficult for people to accept.
"Jie is truly lacking in energy. I beg the elders of the capital to spare me a path."
Wei Jie pleaded with a melancholic and helpless tone, his voice clear and crisp like the chime of jade.
Facing the sea of people, the carriage itself seemed on the verge of being crushed, and he appeared unable to bear it.
After speaking, he seemed to be gasping for breath.
But to others, this voice was also so beautiful it made them unable to breathe.
"Heavens, even his voice is this beautiful."
"I'm going to die!"
"Back away, we'll back away now. Bao'er, you must take care of yourself."
The crowd was packed shoulder to shoulder. Those in the front promised to clear a path, but they couldn't retreat.
People behind kept pushing forward, and more crowds were still arriving from afar.
The onlookers were pressed against each other, even trampling one another, completely blocking the way.
Many had seen Wei Jie from afar, and now that they had finally cornered him on the street, they were overcome with an uncontrollable impulse. They would rather be trampled to death here than miss the chance to see him up close.
"Deng Tuzhi, please act, or people will die again," Wei Jie said weakly.
"Yes..."
