Chapter 378 The Ceremony of Sacrifice to Heaven Begins
The two chatted and didn't wait long before Shen Han came back.
"Mrs. Yun, Cai Ling'er, look at these clothes."
When he stepped into the courtyard, Shen Han had not noticed Liu Xilan's visit.
After seeing it, the whole person paused and then became serious.
At this moment, Liu Xilan's eyes also fell on Shen Han.
The clothes on Shen Han's body were newly sewn for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
Sacrifice was a very serious and grand matter in the Wei Dynasty.
Generally speaking, you have to dress up to show that you are important.
Liu Xilan couldn't help but look at it a few more times before retracting her gaze.
Shen Han is handsome and elegant. He usually wears very simple and elegant clothes, showing a bit of freedom and ease in his outfit.
But today, Shen Han was dressed in fancy clothes, and his whole temperament had changed somewhat.
He was originally free and handsome, but today, he seems to be more calm, dignified and dignified.
"I didn't know that Fairy Xilan was visiting. It was a bit abrupt just now."
Shen Han saluted and apologized.
He could be so casual in front of Mrs. Yun and Xiao Cailing, but in front of other people, Shen Han was a little embarrassed.
"It's not rude, but you let me see another side of you, Shen Han, which is more interesting than usual."
A smile appeared on Liu Xilan's face. When such a beautiful person like her smiled, a beam of light seemed to light up around her.
Hearing Liu Xilan speak, Mrs. Yun beside her just stared at her, thinking in her mind.
She is also very satisfied with this Liu Xilan.
And when Shen Han came back just now, Liu Xilan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Mrs. Yun felt in her heart that Fairy Xilan must also have some admiration for Shen Han.
Just Shen Han
"Let Fairy Xilan laugh"
Before Shen Han could continue speaking, Mrs. Yun beside her moved her chair slightly.
"Fairy Xilan, do you think Xiaohan's clothes look good today?"
Liu Xilan was slightly stunned when she was asked. It felt a bit excessive to ask her this question.
"Mrs. Yun, what strange questions are you asking?"
Shen Han tried to smooth things over for Liu Xilan, but Liu Xilan hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
"I'm dressed up today, but I look more calm. I was a handsome young man before, but now I'm more like a handsome young man with great dignity."
Liu Xilan did not hesitate to express these words of praise, which made Shen Han feel a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Yun, who was sitting aside, looked at the two of them with an old mother's smile on her face.
It's just that Shen Han didn't seem to want to talk anymore and coughed lightly.
Liu Xilan seemed to notice Shen Han's embarrassment. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke.
"I came here today to do something small.
When you came to Xiaoyao Peak before, you had some conflicts with Junior Brother Ye.
He was also very stubborn and wanted to make a bet with me.
The bet is a battle between you and Shen Ye. If you can beat Shen Ye within one year, I will win.
If Chen Ye wins, Junior Brother Ye wins.
I just didn't expect that in just a few months, I would actually encounter you and Shen Ye.
He then lost a secret realm in his hand to me. I thought that if I could win, I would also have a share of your strength.
I want to invite you to go with me."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yun immediately clapped her hands: "Of course you can, but if Xiaohan wants to inherit the title, he must at least wait until he worships his ancestors."
"Of course it's no problem. It's normal to wait for a few months."
Liu Xilan smiled, her invitation was still very sincere.
It was just Shen Han who was a little hesitant.
Summer noon is actually a bit sultry.
No one said anything, but the cicadas around them kept making noisy noises, making people's minds feel as hot as summer.
"I may be a little inconvenienced."
Shen Han didn't know what he was worried about, but he actually refused.
"It's okay. If you can't be free, then forget it. It's not forced."
Liu Xilan's eyes were slightly lowered, a little disappointed, but her words were still quite free and easy.
"Thank you Fairy Xilan for your understanding. The situation I am facing now is complicated and the crisis is hidden.
Exploring the secret realm with Fairy Xilan may even involve you."
Shen Han's face showed a look of solemnity and he explained softly.
Hearing this, Liu Xilan also smiled and nodded.
"It's because I didn't think about it well before. I'll just wait until I have the opportunity to talk about it later."
With that said, Liu Xilan also stood up and prepared to leave.
After sending Liu Xilan to the entrance of the academy, the two said goodbye.
When Shen Han returned to the yard, Mrs. Yun and Cai Ling'er just sat on the chairs, staring at Shen Han.
Shen Han took a few steps forward, and their eyes also moved a little.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it directly." Shen Han felt helpless.
"Xiaohan, Fairy Xilan is very kind to you and is a very nice person."
"I know, so I don't want to hurt her or embarrass her."
When Mrs. Yun heard this, she pursed her lips slightly and wanted to say something, but she felt something was wrong.
Being so firm and single-minded actually shows your character.
However, Mrs. Yun really likes Liu Xilan.
"You are just going to the secret realm together to have some experience. This does not mean anything about you and Fairy Xilan."
After thinking about it, Mrs. Yun added.
Shen Han shook his head: "After defeating Shen Ye in the competition, Luo Zuchen's murderous intention towards me will only become more serious.
I am indeed not talking nonsense. The situations I face now are complicated and I encounter crises from time to time.
When you go out to explore secret places, you are even more likely to fall into danger."
This explanation is quite reasonable.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yun also frowned slightly.
Naturally, she also hoped that Shen Han would be safe and well.
"Xiaohan, you have grown up, and only you can make your own decisions on these matters.
As long as you have no regrets in the future, Cai Ling'er and I will be happy for you."
Shen Han nodded, naturally he understood the meaning of Mrs. Yun's words.
Two days passed.
Before the hour of the hour arrived, most of the people who were participating in and preparing to observe this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven had already arrived at the altar of sacrifice.
The sacrificial altar is outside the palace, on the east side.
This place is not as forbidden as the palace.
If you want to observe, just stand a little further away.
Mrs. Yun had long since reconciled with Shen Lingsheng, and she was no longer a member of the Shen family.
This time, she could only be regarded as an outsider in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, observing from a distance.
But she didn't care about this. Yun Shuang didn't want to get involved with other Shen family members.
What's more, I came today because I wanted to see the jokes made by those in the Shen family.
The ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven starts at the hour of Chen.
Unless the Shen family made it clear that they wanted to rebel, they would not dare not come to this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
Otherwise, it will give the royal family another opportunity to attack.
The sun rises early in summer, and it is already bright before Chen hour.
There was still about a quarter of an hour before Chenshi, when the Shen family finally arrived.
Shen Qingshan, Shen Lingsheng, Shen Lingyong, the old lady of the Shen family, and Mrs. He all came reluctantly.
Mrs. Yun had a smile on her lips, and even looked at the Shen family with some pride.
And these Shen family members also saw Yunshuang.
When Yunshuang was protecting Shen Han, the Shen family always liked to preach jokingly, forcing her not to help Shen Han anymore, saying that Shen Han would bring disaster.
Nowadays, the Yun family of others is prospering, and the family power is becoming more and more powerful.
