The thoughts churning through Young Master Nan's mind were precisely what worried Miao Dingyi. It wasn't that he couldn't afford the money to watch Shi Chun's current projection, but that he didn't want people misunderstanding his family's relationship with Shi Chun. It was enough for the family to keep an eye on him in private; there was no need to make it common knowledge. His daughter still had to marry someday.
Should he thank Young Master Nan for what he had done or not?
Miao Yilan didn't know whether she ought to thank him either. She waved a hand to say there was no need, then rose to give the elder her seat and obediently went to stand beside her mother.
Whatever else might be involved, cutting ahead of the various sects that had paid to queue was hardly a problem for Young Master Nan. The image soon appeared on the Mirror Projection Screen.
Yet Young Master Nan and the others didn't realize it at first, because the image showed a gorge without a single person in sight. Nobody knew whose requested scene this was.
The sight changed the atmosphere on the spot. Everyone stared at the screen, unsure why they were suddenly being shown a gorge.
Even after the uneventful view of the gorge ended and switched to someone else, nobody understood what had happened, nor did anyone give it much thought.
Only Young Master Nan, who had waited and waited in vain, grew a little impatient. Soon, the steward ran back to report and asked, "Young Master Nan, did you see it?"
Young Master Nan's temper flared at once. "See what? Do you think I'm blind?"
Knowing he had misunderstood, the steward hurriedly explained, "No, Young Master Nan. That gorge just now was where Shi Chun was located."
