Maiden Galaxy

Chapter 418: Guqin Music Like Before (teaser)

In history, Huo Guang was Huo Qubing's brother from a different mother. He lived through the Wu, Zhao, and Xuan dynasties, consolidated power in the court, and made meritorious contributions his entire life. A certain idiom regarding unease originated from him. It was said that Emperor Xuan followed Huo Guang as if there were thorns and brambles at his back. Two years after Huo Guang died, the Huo Clan was exterminated by Emperor Xuan. Huo Guang was number one in the Qilin Pavilion, and she alone did not write out her full name, merely calling herself "the Great Minister of War, Generallisimo, and Marquis of Bolu of the Huo Clan."

The Star Names of Star World all had relations, but it was unclear whether or not this was a reason that Huo Guang placed so much importance on her True Name.

As Chen Mo pondered, he followed the others into the Rippling Water Hall.

In the hall were rows of tables arranged in a fan shape. The highest seat was luxurious, embedded completely with gems and surrounded by ten seats. Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi, and Zhao Chongguo walked among the seats.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged at Zhao Chongguo's designated table. He looked around this enormous palace, the interior and exterior of which were decorated extravagantly. The outer beams and crossbeams were all covered in crystal, colored glass, and paintings. Above the throne was a jadeite qilin in the Temple in Heaven, and near the throne were six jade pillars carved with reliefs of qilin. From top to bottom, these were all connected into one. Blue light glowed, fully displaying an ethereal air.

The backrest of the throne was carved with dragons and adorned with red lacquer and a screen. To the left and right of the throne were a large incense table and a luduan¹ incense table. In front of the throne was a cinnabar step, and it had four additional incense tables to its left and right. The incense tables had three incense sticks, filling the room with their scent.

Every gem, every incense stick, even every speck of dust in this hall was a valuable Spirit item. With Chen Mo's eyesight, he could see that using these Spirit items for forging would simply be enormously beneficial. For them to surprisingly be treated as materials for a palace, only one of the Sixteen Star Marquis could have the spirit for such extravagance.
