True Person Rong refused in no uncertain terms. Bai Zixi pressed her lips together and looked at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua caught her meaning and immediately declared, "If Senior Sister isn't going, I'm not going either."
True Person Rong said, "Well... you can go."
Mo Hua said, "I can choose not to."
True Person Rong rarely tried to persuade anyone, and she rarely involved herself in such messy affairs. But now, because of Zi Xi's feelings, she found herself roasting over the fire and had no choice but to persuade Mo Hua.
Helpless, True Person Rong pointed to the invitation adorned with a large gilded peony and asked:
"Do you know how valuable this invitation is?"
Mo Hua did not quite understand. "How valuable?"
True Person Rong sighed. "I have no regard for the sordid business on Flower Street... but even I know an invitation to Jade Fragrance Pavilion's Courtesan Banquet is worth a fortune and almost impossible to obtain."
"Throughout Houtu City, who knows how many factions and young masters want an invitation to the Courtesan Banquet, just to attend the feast at Jade Fragrance Pavilion and glimpse the courtesan's beauty—a face that could make fish sink and wild geese fall from the sky... You can't even buy one with Spirit Stones. In past years, people have died over these invitations..."
Even Mo Hua was surprised. "This invitation is worth that much?"
Just to see a courtesan? Have these people gone mad...?
Mo Hua looked at the invitation in his hand, the one worth a fortune and almost impossible to obtain. A brilliant idea suddenly struck him:
"What if I sold it? I wonder how many Spirit Stones I could get..."
True Person Rong felt her chest tighten as ten thousand horses thundered through her mind.
