It has been three days since the Red Tower Sword Fight ended. During this time, the streets and alleys were full of voices discussing the competition.
"In my opinion, the woman from the Magic House is more terrifying. If she had faced Sudenglou directly, she might have been eliminated directly."
"It's a hypothetical again. How come there are so many assumptions? I think you are making assumptions again."
"Actually, many masters say that the woman's practice is very special. Maybe the appearance you see is just an illusion."
"After all, how could there be such a flawless beauty in the world? It's as illusory and unrealistic as a dream."
There was a burst of noise in the teahouse.
"Actually, I care more about the princess. She is so beautiful and so strong." A man on the side exuded beautiful thoughts.
"If His Majesty passes the throne to King Huainan, does that mean that the princess will ascend to the throne in the future?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense." A companion on the side touched his shoulder, indicating that King Dai is extremely powerful today.
"Hey, I'm just thinking about it."
"Hey, you don't have to think about it. I think during the competition that day, the princess was very concerned about the young general Zhuo. Maybe they didn't know each other even if they didn't fight. The two of them have already expressed their feelings to each other."
"No way, this... this shouldn't be possible." Suddenly his illusion was shattered, and the man said sadly that he didn't want to hear it.
"Haha, I think it's true. Yesterday I saw two people taking a boat ride on the Nightless River. Although there were other young people on the same boat, these two were sitting in the middle and talking to each other."
"Ah...how could my Royal Highness Yu Bing be deceived so easily?" The man became even more sad.
"Doesn't anyone care about the Red Sentence Sect? I heard that this time, I'm going to take away the membership of Teruya Palace and replace it with the Red Sentence Sect."
"It's possible. After all, the incident in the Ximu Mountains was too big. It is said that a special being took action to calm it down."
"What kind of special existence, why don't I know about it?" Some people on the side also asked.
"Well, it's hard to say specifically. Anyway, the higher-ups have blocked the news. I guess there will be an explanation in a while."
"But if the matter is so big, it can't be calmed down so easily. I thought it was Lord Chifeng who took action before."
"Lord Chifeng has been living in seclusion in Yuzhang Mountain these years and has not appeared for a long time."
"Perhaps the impact of the changes in the world has not passed yet. Many immortals have died before, and today's practitioners have not even appeared in the eighth level."
"Hey, it's a pity that I failed to seize this golden opportunity. I heard that in recent years, many major sects have broken down their family ties, opened their doors widely, communicated with each other, and vigorously supported some outstanding disciples. It is not as good as before.
It’s so closed.”
"I really envy that man. He was born as a commoner. Not only did he enter the Palace of Swordsmanship, but now he has become the top leader of the Red Tower and has become the unparalleled number one swordsman in the world." This man described the experience of climbing the tower.
"Hey, don't talk about it. I also want to climb the Red Tower to fight swords, win the purple tassel, and participate in the feast of burning tail and transforming into a dragon."
"The tail-burning feast, the tail-burning feast, it is a feast that many people dream of."
"Either we can win the gold medal in literature, or we can win the sword in Chilou."
"And this year's tail-burning banquet will be held at the top of Yuzhang Mountain. I don't know how many heroes will gather there."
After the sword fight is over, the next grand event is the tail-burning feast on the day of the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival.
Why is it called so? It can be regarded as citing an allusion. Originally, commoners in the countryside, or people with no powerful family backgrounds, as long as they can seize the sword from the Red Tower or be named on the gold medal, their identity and situation will change drastically.
Before the change, I was on the rise.
Such behaviors and experiences are like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, so this banquet for entertaining talents is also called the Banquet of Burning Tail and Transforming into a Dragon.
A room somewhere in the academy.
Lorraine Hill was sitting on a sandalwood-backed chair beside the table, holding a chubby little bird in her arms. Opposite her was Gu Lie, a fellow student, and the two were talking about recent events in the room.
"Isn't there still no response from Chun Sui?"
Lorraine Hill asked curiously. She had previously expressed that she wanted to see the red phoenix, but Chun Guanshi had never given a definite response.
"No, it is said that Master Chifeng has been in seclusion for self-cultivation. Chief Chun cannot see Master Chifeng at the moment." Gu Lie shook his head. The Xiangyu sect has many old friends among the officials of the Four Seasons. This information can still be found out.
Arrived.
"What about the seal in the previous letter?"
"It is said that after the report was reported to His Majesty, Your Majesty personally went to Lord Chifeng's residence to inquire. His Majesty's status is unusual, so naturally he does not need to report like Chun Guan."
"Is this so..." Lorraine Hill touched the fluffy Daiju Bird in his arms and thought for a while.
"It's just that I still want to politely refuse some things. I don't really need the status of a princess." Lorraine Hill said softly.
"Is it the influence of the incident last time? It seems that you are a little annoyed by those royal children." Gu Lie picked up the teapot and slowly poured hot tea into the teacup in front of him.
Although he looks like a strong and bold man, Gu Lie is actually very good at tea tasting.
"That's not the case. It feels like being a princess is very troublesome. There are people watching everywhere you go, and you have to follow some etiquette. Besides, I'm actually not familiar with King You." The girl shook her head, and then said
He took out a small piece of preserved fruit from his sleeve and fed it to the open-mouthed bird in his arms.
"Haha, the glory and wealth that so many people dream of are so unbearable to Junior Sister Luo Lan." Gu Lie laughed.
"This state of mind is indeed rare. No wonder he is the most favored peer in our sect."
"Senior Brother Gu Lie, please stop laughing at me, I am serious."
The silver-haired girl shook her head and puffed out her cheeks slightly. She seemed to have learned a lot of expressions from Eidolon during this period.
"In that case, how about I go to Chunguan and ask again." Gu Lie touched his head and said that he would try harder.
"Then please trouble me, senior brother... How about I write another letter and explain the reason." Lorraine Hill thought carefully and then decided like this.
"good."
Afterwards, Lorraine Hill took out a special gold-sprinkled paper and used it to write the letter to be submitted.
Junyong's delicate handwriting fell on the light yellow paper, which reflected a slight golden light, faithfully recording the words in it.
The gold-sprinkled paper is an annual tribute provided by the Xiangyu Sect to the royal family. It is specially used to issue imperial edicts, important documents, or formal documents. The handwriting written on it will not corrode for thousands of years. The paper is thin and tough, and is not afraid of water or fire. It is extremely good.
It was also because it was made by the Xianyu Sect itself, and because this matter was special, that Lorraine Hill could use this page to write a letter, hoping to be taken seriously.
"alright."
A few minutes later, Lorraine Hill picked up the pen, but remembered that she had not stamped it yet. After thinking for a while, she looked at the chrysanthemum-wearing bird in her arms.
It's you.
Under Dai Ju's bewildered gaze, Lorraine Hill picked it up, pressed one of its feet into the ink pad, and then pressed it on the page to form a red footprint.
Then, Lorraine Hill added a small line of words.
Luo Lan carried a bird stamp with her to confirm, and after writing, she also drew a simple and cute look of Dai Ju, as if she wanted to use this to dilute the overly serious and direct atmosphere.
Presumably Master Chifeng can also understand her own situation. After all, in the eyes of these great witches, Lorraine Hill is as young as a newborn child.
After everything was prepared, the girl sealed the envelope and handed it to Gu Lie.
