After having fun in the night market at night, everyone from the Xiangyu sect returned to the academy to rest.
After opening the door, Lorraine Hill carried the bag and returned to his room. Dai Ju, who had been sleeping on the chair before, had already woken up.
When he saw the girl coming back, he chirped aggrievedly, as if he was sad why Luo Lan didn't take him out to play.
"Okay, okay, I will take you out next time." The girl walked up to the little guy, picked it up and touched it.
"You see, Blue Jay has only been out a few times, so let me let you go this time." Afterwards, Lorraine Hill took out the snacks bought at the night market from the bag, broke them open and fed them to this greedy little guy.
Settle down.
Lorraine Hill looked at this guy's fat body and couldn't help but shake his head, then put the remaining pieces of snacks on the plate and let him peck at them.
After a good night's rest, Lorraine Hill found Gu Lie the next day, wanting to inquire and understand the situation.
There was a large round table in the spacious room, and Lorraine Hill and Gu Lie were sitting at the table.
"Does Luo Lan want to ask about the arrangements of the court?" Gu Lie looked at the beautiful girl with silver hair and black skirt.
"Yes." Lorraine Hill nodded.
"Not long after I came to Luojing, I asked several officials of the Spring Lawsuit. They said that it is relatively close to the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, and the fall will be officially announced at the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival."
Later, after Lorraine Hill asked about the specific process in detail, she felt relieved, and then she asked about the Ye family.
"This is easy. I'll write a greeting note for you and have it sent to Ye's house. There will be a reply in a few days." The Xiangyu sect is a well-known sect that visits people's homes, so they still have some respect.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu Lie." The girl nodded.
A few days later, Gu Lie handed an invitation to Lorraine Hill.
"Recently, the Yefu will hold a flower-viewing party, and a lot of people will be invited. You happen to be visiting, and this is the invitation." After finishing speaking, he handed a dark blue invitation to the girl.
After the invitation was unfolded, the dark blue background was printed with gold powder, pavilions, pavilions, and silver powder flowers. There was also an inscription on the last side, which was very exquisite.
"The autumn wind is getting beautiful, and you can go to the pavilion and smell the fragrance."
Although there is no word for flower in it, it expresses the meaning of flower appreciation, which is somewhat elegant. The time is set on the 25th of the seventh month of the Dragon Calendar, which is five days later.
Just after Lorraine Hill accepted the invitation, Gu Lie asked about another matter.
"Junior sister, do you want to sign up for this Chilou sword fight?"
Logically speaking, Lorraine Hill, as one of the representatives of the new generation of the Xiangyu Sect, will definitely participate, but with her special status now and her usual quietness, she may not necessarily go.
"Do I have to go?" The girl turned her head slightly and looked at this senior brother with her clear eyes.
"That's not the case." Gu Lie looked at the suddenly cute junior sister and moved his gaze.
"Then I won't go, it shouldn't affect me." Lorraine Hill blinked.
"Uh, okay..." Gu Lie had no choice but to agree.
The outcome of the Chilou Sword Fight will affect the faction's reputation in the world. Although there is no mandatory requirement, if several generations of disciples cannot enter the top ten finals, then the faction's status as a disciple cannot be maintained.
However, now that the Xianyu Sect is very powerful, not counting Lorraine Hill, Gu Lie and Sumire Hua are also at Sequence 7, so there is no need to worry about this at all.
"During this period, Luo Lan should guide the others. The sword fight will begin at the beginning of August in the Dragon Calendar, which is ten days later."
"Yes, I will." Lorraine Hill nodded.
In the following days, in addition to instructing other disciples in their practice, Lorraine Hill occasionally went out for a walk when he had time to see this bustling city. When night approached, he would return to his room to read and rest.
Stablize.
After a few days of this, the flower viewing party at Ye Mansion began.
In the morning, Lorraine Hill arrived outside Ye Mansion according to the time on the invitation.
The broad streets are lined with carriages. Some of these carriages are carved with incense and some have gauze-covered windows. They are very luxurious. Many of them are pulled by exotic animals, which makes them even more noble.
"Bi family, Mr. Bi Haihong has arrived~"
"Nagarjuna Blood Sect, Master Shen Xi has arrived~"
"Prince Caisu's Mansion, Princess Liuyue has arrived~"
"The dew stains Bifang, Fairy Xiangqi has arrived~"
"Beifu Mountain, Mr. Canglan has arrived~"
As guests came in holding invitations one after another, the waiter at the door sang loudly.
Just as Lorraine Hill approached the gate, another chant came from the front.
"The tiger roars over the Nine Desolate Mountains, Yue Guan." This chant was not shouted by the waiter, but by a man wearing dark coarse cloth. He was eight feet tall, with his hands on his sides, and his joints were thick and full of calluses.
.
"Who is this?"
"Didn't he have an invitation? Logically speaking, he just came to visit, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"I don't know, but I just know that there is a good show today." Several people nearby were talking to each other. Most of them were the younger generations of the Luo Jing family, and they were particularly enthusiastic about this kind of excitement.
The waiters at the gate were a little embarrassed, and then several of them quickly reported to the palace. Soon after, a man in black clothes came out to greet him.
"I have admired the name of Yue Guan for a long time. Since I forgot to send the invitation before, it is really a dereliction of duty on the part of the servants in the mansion. I am really sorry..."
After his words of comfort and the arrangement of the steps, the disciple from Jiuhuang Mountain no longer froze at the gate and followed him into the mansion.
"It's Ye Zhen, the Third Young Master of Ye Mansion. He probably heard the noise and came out to smooth things over." Several young nobles nearby continued to discuss.
"This rhetoric is actually quite interesting. This banquet is jointly organized by Ye Mansion and several families with whom they have good personal relationships. If others want to attend, just inform them in advance. Generally, they will not refuse. It is originally a gathering of friends. The more people there are,
The more lively it is.”
"I guess this person doesn't know the inside story and just came to visit today temporarily. After all, Jiuhuang Mountain is located in a remote place and people there don't know any etiquette and rules." Others guessed.
"Seeing how he and Mr. Ye Zhen are talking calmly, it doesn't look like he has an old grudge against Ye Mansion. It's really strange."
"Hey, speaking of this, I remembered something. Do you remember He Xingzhou Bai Forging Workshop?"
"It has some resemblance. It is said to be a workshop for making weapons, but its strength is average and it can't gain much recognition."
"The Hundred Forgings was the property of the Yue family before. Later, due to poor management, it was acquired by the Liu family during the great changes a few years ago."
"It is said that the legitimate son of the Yue family was engaged to the Liu family at that time, so he trusted the Liu family very much and did not want to be cheated by the Liu family."
"This matter is not very glorious to tell in detail. As a result, the descendants of the Yue family fell into despair, so the Liu family gave the descendants of the Yue family a severance package and moved their descendants to various states to disperse."
"And the former legitimate son of the Yue family happens to be named Yue Guan."
"Interesting, tell me more. How do you know so much?" Several young people next to him suddenly became interested and gathered around while waiting.
"Haha, I know this well. My wife is from He Xingzhou. Last year I went back to her hometown with her and found out a lot of interesting things." A young man in aqua brocade flapped his folding fan, feeling very proud.
Lorraine Hill looked forward, and from time to time there were sounds of gossip in her ears. She shook her head slightly, then lowered her head and moved forward.
Because there would be more people to meet today, she took out the phantom pendant she used in Emenas to cover up her appearance. She looked just like Loren once, with black hair and black eyes. Although
Beautiful, but not too surprising.
When he arrived at the gate, Lorraine Hill took out the invitation and handed it to the waiter on the side.
"Scorching Sun Xiangyu Sect, Fairy Luolan has arrived~"
As the waiter sang, she stepped into the mansion with a little curiosity.
After entering the courtyard, there were several pavilions with tea and fruits on the tables. Several guests sat in them to rest and wait. Looking ahead, some people walked directly along the main road and walked inside.
It seems that this is not the main venue for the banquet, but a temporary resting place for guests who have been waiting for a long time to rest before continuing to enter the inner venue, or for some guests to wait for acquaintances here temporarily and then enter together.
Several young people sitting in the hall looked at the black-haired girl who entered the courtyard and started talking casually.
"Didn't Fairy Jinhua from the Burning Sun Xiangyu Sect come? I've never heard of this girl named Luolan before."
"But his background should not be bad. He may be a branch of the royal family. After all, Luo is one of the royal surnames."
Regarding the title closure of Lorraine Hill, only a few people in the upper echelons of the dynasty knew about it, and it was not announced to the outside world. Therefore, many nobles in Luo Jing did not know this girl with black hair and black eyes.
"However, judging from her appearance, she is indeed a rare beauty. Would you like to get to know her?" Several young people in the hall joked to each other.
"Huh, I'm powerless. As you know, my father recently made a marriage arrangement for me, and the other party is the fourth young lady of the Lian family."
"Hoho, we still know the name of the fourth lady of the Lian family. It seems that I won't be able to go out drinking with you in the future."
"Why?"
"If you drink well, then when the fourth lady comes over and beats you up, she will also give me a good beating. Who can I talk to to reason with you?"
"this....."
The fourth young lady of the Lian family has always been known for being fierce and willful. Although she is indeed good-looking, few people in Luojing dare to provoke her. However, after all, she comes from the six major families in Luojing, and there are still many people who propose marriage. Since this one can get engaged to her,
His family background is probably not bad either.
Wherever there are people, there are all kinds of stories.
Not long after Lorraine Hill entered the Ye Mansion, he learned a lot about the Luojing aristocratic circle from various small conversations around him.
Which young master has fallen in love with which beauty, someone has been caught cheating on someone, a certain restaurant has recently introduced a new dish, what gossip has been spread in the palace recently, and so on.
And when she walked along the corridor seven times and eight times and entered the main venue of the flower viewing banquet, a suddenly bright scenery unfolded before her eyes.
A clear river surrounds the green hill. On both sides of the river are trees with lush foliage. A three-story pavilion stands on the green hill. Many guests gather here. Some are walking along the river, and some are in the hall.
They were playing chess with others, some were sitting on the hillside playing the harp, and others were holding bird cages, watching and talking to each other.
Most of the people who came here were aristocratic children in Luojing. Other people from the big sects who came here were also accompanied by familiar people. On the other hand, Lorraine Hill, who came in alone, felt a little strange for a moment.
Fortunately, she didn't care much about it, and just followed the guests in front of her across the small bridge to the green hill where the party was held.
There are many benches scattered around the hillside, and some waiters are delivering exquisite snacks back and forth. Some guests even sit directly on the hillside to drink and have fun. Looking at their bold and uninhibited appearance, it is difficult for outsiders to criticize this unethical behavior.
Behavior.
"Haha, it's autumn again. I wonder what exotic flowers and plants this mansion has prepared."
"No matter how beautiful the exotic flowers and plants are, they are not as beautiful as the beautiful women..." The two men in robes were already a little drunk.
"No, you don't need to help me, I can still...burp~" Before he could finish speaking, he hiccupped and broke away from the support of the waiter on the side.
"I still have to wait for the arrival of Fairy Xiayue..." He muttered, causing the people on the side to laugh.
"I think Fairy Xiayue doesn't like you..."
"Haha, what kind of person is Fairy Xiayue? How could she treat such a rude person?" Several other young people also laughed.
Lorraine Hill walked into the pavilion and climbed up the stairs slowly. The noisy sounds below still did not stop. Listening to the gossip and discussion, she also knew what kind of person Fairy Xiayue was.
Yunsha Xia Jiangtian, who came from He Xingzhou, is a new generation disciple of Xia Jiangtian. It is said that he has reached the sixth level of perfection now and will advance to the seventh level at any time.
In today's Plantagenet Dynasty, there are about twenty known Sequence 7 Extraordinaries. Even if there are some who live in seclusion and never emerge from the world, the number will not be too many, no more than thirty. Those who can enter Sequence 7 can indeed be called extraordinary.
.
Human beings are no better than monsters. Although the accumulation of experience has resulted in the perfection and power of techniques, wisdom also leads to many thoughts and sorrows, so many people are stuck. Today, all those who can reach Sequence 7 are geniuses.
Among the geniuses, they can even defeat Sequence 8 monsters in the wild.
The benefits brought by wisdom are indeed many, but it is not without disadvantages. Humans are also rare animals. Even if their life is good and there is no threat of death or survival, they will commit suicide for various reasons. When they get rid of the control of instinct, they will
Just like a ship leaving the harbor, gaining freedom also gains suspicion, disbelief and anxiety about everything. Or maybe in the eyes of those people, living as happy as a piggy is just a luxury.
Just when Lorraine Hill was sitting quietly in the corner, admiring the beautiful scenery of the falling yellow trees in the courtyard, another burst of singing came from the distance.
"Yun Sha Xia Jiang Tian, Fairy Xia Yue has arrived~"
After a while of commotion, a veiled woman walked slowly over. She was wearing a white gauze dress that gradually turned to red. She had a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure. There were two similarly dressed women accompanying her. It seemed that
They are all classmates of Xia Jiangtian.
If Lorraine Hill were to evaluate her, this woman and her appearance would probably be similar to Fengano from the Anemii family, but her ethereal and extraordinary strength made her even more touching and kept her awake at night.
On the green hill, many young people turned their eyes to look at the three women. Several young men also walked out of the hall and were about to come forward to talk.
"Liu Manzhi, do you dare to confront me!"
A loud shout rang out, and a man in coarse cloth strode out and stopped in front of the three of them. His eyes were like a torch, staring at the person behind Xia Yue. The woman was wearing a pink and purple gauze dress, and she seemed to be
The legitimate daughter of the Liu family named Liu Manzhi.
Various noisy sounds rang out in the venue, and several waiters from the Ye family ran quickly, looking for the stewards of the Ye family to come out to mediate. Some other young masters from aristocratic families who did not know what was going on immediately came out and stood between the two parties.
"Where did you come from, a rough country man, to be so rude to Fairy Xiayue?"
