"Everyone!" Suddenly, a male voice interrupted," Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and this place is where the people gather. If you have any grudges, please find another place!”The few of them looked at the man who spoke. It was a man in embroidered clothes who was around thirty years old. His appearance was ordinary, but he had an imposing manner. Behind the man were dozens of armed guards.
The man waved his hand, and dozens of solemn guards surrounded Yun Zhaoling and the others. " I know," the man in embroidered clothes said as he approached them." All of you are capable people. Ordinary guards like me can't stop you at all." However, be it immortals or demons, there were rules to follow. If you still insist on making a fuss, I don't mind making a trip to Tianhui City and discussing the truth with the City Lords.”
Qiu Shaochan pointed at Ye Xiaolin and said,"We're just standing here watching the lights. She's the one who insisted on pestering us!"”Ye Xiaolin bit her lip but did not say anything. The embroidered-robed man suddenly smiled and walked to Ye Xiaolin's side. Then, he stretched out his hand to hold Ye Xiaolin's shoulder and said to Qiu Shaochan,""My wife has always had a strong temperament. If there is any neglect, please forgive me.”As the man spoke, his eyes unconsciously darted a few glances at Fu Moran.
Hearing this, the few of them were surprised, and Qiu Shaochan was even more speechless. Fu Moran let go and bowed to the man." It's just a misunderstanding. We'll take our leave."”Fu Moran was about to turn around when the man said,""I am Chang You, a rough person who doesn't know much about etiquette. However, he also understood the principle of being a guest. Since you are acquainted with my wife, I should invite you to the residence for a chat. I wonder if you are willing to give me this face?”
Since the man had said so much, it would be impolite if he said he didn't want to go. Moreover, the grudge between Fu Moran and Ye Xiaolin needed to be resolved. "If that's the case, we'll be troubling you." Liu Yanxing answered.”"Yan Chong!" Chang You stretched out his hand to guide them." This way, please."”
Qiu Shaochan turned around to look at the high platform, only to see that the crystal curtain lamp and the cloaked man had disappeared. The shopkeeper was hiding far behind the high platform. Seeing that they were about to leave, he carefully poked half of his head out to look. Qiu Shaochan stomped her foot and could not help but glare at Ye Xiaolin. Yun Zhaoling also looked back. It seemed that the cloaked man had bought the crystal curtain lamp in the chaos. He was quite calm.
Chang You led the few of them to a large mansion near the river. They saw two colored lights hanging high above the door, and the words "Wangjiang Residence" were inscribed on the door. After entering the gate and passing through a stone wall, a corridor with upturned eaves and waterside pavilions appeared in front of everyone. The waterside pavilion was surrounded by gauze curtains and screens. The corridor and waterside pavilion were hung with colorful lights, reflecting the colorful lights in the water.
Wow! Yun Zhaoling sighed heavily in her heart. She couldn't remember if she had ever seen such a scene before. However, she had never seen such a magnificent scene in the ten years she had stayed in Lianghu Mountain. It turned out that a house could be built like this? To her, it was really novel. After he went back, he could discuss it with his parents.
Chang You led them into the waterside pavilion. There were two main seats on the east side of the waterside pavilion, and six tables and chairs on the north and south sides. There were two red sandalwood incense tables in the northwest and southwest corners, each with a small and exquisite golden incense burner. There were three heating stoves in the middle of the waterside pavilion. If they had not just come in from the outside, they would have thought that it was a warm spring.
Chang You called for them to sit down and brought Ye Xiaolin to the main seat. Then, she instructed the attendants to serve good wine and delicacies. Chang You raised the wine glass in front of her and said to the few of them,""Today, my wife was reckless. I apologize to everyone on behalf of my wife!”As he spoke, Chang You raised his head and drank the wine in his cup. However, Yun Zhaoling noticed that Ye Xiaolin's eyes seemed to reveal some complicated meaning.
Fu Moran and the others didn't say much and each drank a cup of wine. Qiu Shaochan did not move, and Yun Zhaoling did not move either. No matter what, she could not let Qiu Shaochan be alone. Of course, Ye Xiaolin beside Chang You did not move either. Chang You glanced at Yun Zhaoling, then said to Qiu Shaochan,""Miss Qiu, are you still angry?”
Qiu Shaochan was straightforward." How can I not be angry? I clearly had my eyes on that colored light, but she just had to come and interrupt, and in the end, she was intercepted. That colored lantern is rare in the world. Where can I find another one like this?”Although Ye Xiaolin had a look of disdain, she did not say anything. Yun Zhaoling couldn't help but look at Ye Xiaolin strangely. It seemed that ever since Chang You appeared, she had become silent.
"I've heard of the colorful lamp that Miss Qiu mentioned." Chang You smiled faintly. I'll get someone to ask about the person who bought it, but if I really can't find it, I can't do anything. I can't find the exact same colored lights, but I hope Miss Qiu can settle for the next best thing. I will give you a lantern that will satisfy you as much as possible. What do you think, Miss Qiu?”
Qiu Shaochan was not satisfied." How is that the same…"”That's right. Although Chang You was an ordinary person, she was not an ordinary person among ordinary people. Liu Yanxing interrupted Qiu Shaochan," It's just a lamp. General Chang doesn't need to spend money." However, I'm afraid that we still have to properly talk to Madam Chang about the old matters of the past. Otherwise, in the long run, it would be a knot in everyone's hearts.”
Yun Zhaoling couldn't help but look at Liu Yanxing. What should Ye Xiaolin say? One was her ex-love, the other was her current husband, and she had to say it in front of the two of them. No matter what, it was not good, right? Yun Zhaoling turned to look at Ye Xiaolin. As expected, Ye Xiaolin's expression was a little ugly. Fu Moran was about to say something when Chang You said,""Actually, I've heard my wife mention Young Master Fu before.”
"But I feel that at that time, be it my wife or Young Master Fu, they were both young and frivolous. Even if there were any excessive words or actions, it was not a big deal.”Chang You paused." My wife is impatient, but I heard that Young Master Fu has already advanced to Immortal Lord. You shouldn't lower yourself to my wife's level."”Hearing this, Ye Xiaolin could not help looking at Chang You in surprise.
"I think General Chang has misunderstood." Fu Moran bowed to Chang You.”Fu Moran glanced at Ye Xiaolin and continued,""Chang Furen and I didn't have any excessive actions back then. Even if we didn't talk too much, it was only because we had been together for a long time that I treated her as a very good friend. Just like what General Chang said just now, I was young and frivolous at that time and did not know how to avoid taboos. That was why I caused others to misunderstand and wronged Madam Chang.”
Fu Moran stood up and bowed to Ye Xiaolin." Madam Chang, I was young and ignorant back then and caused others to make things difficult for you. This is my fault." If there is a need in the future, I will definitely repay this debt.”"No need." Ye Xiaolin said,"From now on, you and I will go our separate ways. Just pretend we don't know each other."”Fu Moran nodded and sat down.
Ye Xiaolin stood up and lowered her eyes.""Since it's irrelevant, I'm not in the mood to entertain you.”With that, Ye Xiaolin turned around and left. Yun Zhaoling couldn't help but admire Ye Xiaolin. She lived so freely that she could compete with him.
"My wife has always been like this. Please don't take offense." Chang You smiled. Since it was a misunderstanding back then, I have to apologize to Young Master Fu here. I've offended you just now!”Chang You toasted Fu Moran and then started chatting and laughing with the crowd. Yun Zhaoling began to eat. He could finally start eating.
Fu Moran wanted to leave a few times, but Chang You's words diverted her. Seeing that it was getting late, Chang You naturally asked them to stay here. Fu Moran had no choice but to agree. When they entered the resting room, Qiu Shaochan was still huffing and puffing." It's clearly her fault. Why are you all telling me to give in to her?!" Liu Yanxing was also detestable. Who was he helping?”
Yun Zhaoling pulled Qiu Shaochan to sit down." Don't be angry, don't be angry." When we get back, I'll get Yaotian to find you an identical one. He's very capable.”"How is that the same?" Qiu Shaochan snorted. Didn't the shopkeeper say that this lamp was a gift from Goddess Nvluo's lover? The meaning is different." Yun Zhaoling laughed, and Hua Ling also laughed.
Qiu Shaochan glared at Hua Ling, then looked at Yun Zhaoling." What are you laughing at?”"He's just making up a story to win everyone's favor. How can you believe that?" Yun Zhaoling said. If I were to make it up, I could make up eight to ten better ones.”Qiu Shaochan shook her head." This story is true!”It was Yun Zhaoling and Hua Ling's turn to be surprised.
Qiu Shaochan continued,"I've traveled around the world and heard many stories. I've heard the story of Goddess Nvluo before, but the content is slightly different.”Yun Zhaoling was interested." How is it different? Tell me."”"It's true that Goddess Nvluo is the mountain god of the Secluded Bamboo Mountain, but before that, she was actually a god like her sweetheart. After committing a grave mistake, he was demoted to the Heavenly Palace and became an Earth God.”
"Legend has it that the Secluded Bamboo Mountain is actually dark and is a place to imprison felons. Therefore, her sweetheart had spent a lot of effort to personally make this crystal curtain lamp for her. It was said that the origin of the luminous pearl was not small, but it was unknown where it came from.”
"Also, Goddess Nvluo didn't die of old age. It's because a part of the enchantment barrier of the Serene Bamboo Mountain was broken. You have to know that the prisoners in the mountain are all demons with profound spiritual power. In order to protect the enchantment barrier of the Secluded Bamboo Mountain and prevent the world from suffering, Goddess Nvluo used all her divine power to fill the gap in the enchantment barrier. However, her divine power was also exhausted because of this, and her soul was scattered.”
Qiu Shaochan sighed and said,"Later, her lover rushed over with the heavenly soldiers and repaired the array, but he could not save Nvluo's life." In a fit of anger, her lover had split the Secluded Bamboo Mountain in half. It was said that many demons had lost their lives because of this, and her lover had also been severely punished. You saw that lantern too. It's not an ordinary item. Most importantly, there's a sad and beautiful story behind it.”
Hearing this, Yun Zhaoling couldn't help but sigh." If that's the case, Goddess Nvluo is indeed pitiful."”Qiu Shaochan turned to look at Yun Zhaoling, who was a little absent-minded." Forget it. If it's gone, so be it. It's just that I'm not fated to be with it." A crystal curtain lamp that allows me to see Goddess Nvluo with my own eyes is not bad.”
In the dark night, in the distant sky, a black figure carrying a colorful crystal lamp slowly ascended. The man stroked the colorful lights beside him with one hand, his eyes fixed on the ever-shrinking Changyao City. His voice was cold and firm as he said,"Lingyao, I'm back. In a few days, I'll come and pick you up. Don't worry, I won't let anyone who harmed you off.”
Yun Zhaoling turned over and saw a pair of eyes staring at her in a daze. Yun Zhaoling felt his scalp go numb and he was completely awake. When he saw that it was Qiu Shaochan, Yun Zhaoling punched her angrily." Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you staring at me?”Qiu Shaochan blinked her eyes." I've thought about it, but I still can't take it lying down. Let's go and meet that Ye Xiaolin at night."”
Yun Zhaoling took a deep breath. The more she tried to stop Qiu Shaochan, the more she was afraid that Qiu Shaochan would become more enthusiastic. Hence, he turned around and asked,"Right, who is this Ye Xiaolin, and why is she so entangled with Fu Moran?”Qiu Shaochan pursed her lips." They're just cultivating immortal energy together in Qu Mingtang. They're about the same age as us, so we're classmates who see each other all the time. There's no need for us to deliberately pester each other.”
Qiu Shaochan paused for a moment and fell into her memories." The Ye family has a lot of experience in Tianhui City. Therefore, Ye Xiaolin is considered a lady of status in our generation. He was born in a good place, was quite smart, had a cheerful personality, and got along well with everyone. At that time, Fu Moran and Liu Yanxing were publicly acknowledged as handsome men in our generation.”
"There are many people who like them and are close to them. She is not the only one.”Qiu Shaochan sighed." At that time, be it Fu Moran or Liu Yanxing, they were still young. How would they know how to reject? How could he guess so many thoughts? He just treated them as classmates of the First Bureau and kept in close contact with them, never going overboard. Moreover, most of the time, it was a group of people gathered together. There was no time to be alone. He didn't see anyone else in trouble, but he didn't know why she had such a deep misunderstanding.”
"Then what did she say about her reputation being destroyed?" Yun Zhaoling asked.”Qiu Shaochan shook her head." I'm not sure about the details. She only heard that Ye Xiaolin had stayed in Fu Moran's courtyard one night and was seen coming out the next day.”
"After that, the whole city was filled with rumors. Ye Xiaolin couldn't stand those rumors and soon left Tianhui City, staying at a distant relative's house. But I know Fu Moran's character, there must be some misunderstanding.”
Qiu Shaochan scoffed,"Fu Moran was also troubled at that time, and the Ye and Fu families became enemies because of that."?City Lord Fu had intended to fulfill their marriage, but Fu Moran fell seriously ill not long after, so the matter was dropped and no one brought it up again. Although hundreds of years had passed, the relationship between the Ye and Fu families had not eased much. Even if they had something to do, it was just a few polite words on the surface.”
"This matter is really confusing," Yun Zhaoling said. " Then…Ye Xiaolin also mentioned that Fu Moran likes Yun Zhaoling…" Qiu Shaochan looked at Yun Zhaoling and said,""I don't know if what Ye Xiaolin said is true or not, but just now…Fu Moran didn't refute it, so it must be true.”"Even you don't know?" Yun Zhaoling asked.”
Qiu Shaochan shook her head." To be honest, I really couldn't tell back then. He and…Nianxin actually did not have much contact.”"What about Ming Nianxin?" Yun Zhaoling asked. She likes Fu Moran too?" Qiu Shaochan pursed her lips." I don't know either.”
Yun Zhaoling's eyes widened." Aren't you very good friends? How could you not know if she likes Fu Moran or not?”Qiu Shaochan looked at Yun Zhaoling and let out a long sigh." That's right. Nianxin really hid her thoughts too deeply.”"But…I did joke about them that day, but it was just a joke. Who knew that it would cause the two of them to fight?”
