Chapter 332 Suffering from Lack of Experience

night.

The moon shines brightly, and the lights are dazzling.

Laughter and shouts echoed throughout Yushui City.

Walking down the street, Chu Qinghe and the others looked like the most beautiful scenery.

Along the way, everyone's eyes, regardless of gender, were focused on the group, as if everything around them had become blurred, except for Chu Qinghe and his companions, who became increasingly clear amidst the dazzling lights.

Wherever the group walked, the previously noisy crowd quickly quieted down.

Only after the group had walked away did gasps of amazement and uproar emerge.

However, Chu Qinghe, Shui Mu Yin Ji, and the others were already used to this situation, and their expressions did not change at all.

Meanwhile, Qu Feiyan and her companions continued their hurried wandering around the area.

However, instead of the previous three-person team, it has become a four-person team.

However, compared to Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, Lin Shiyin and Xue Qianxun appear more reserved.

Upon reaching the center of Yushui City, looking at the bustling streets, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but remark, "Compared to last year's Lantern Festival, there seem to be even more people in Yushui City this year!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyin smiled and said, "In the past year or so, there have been almost no incidents of martial artists causing trouble or gang fighting. As time goes by, more and more merchants and their families come here, and the city naturally becomes more lively."

No matter the time, places with better public security are more likely to attract more people.

Yushui City is located in a remote area, and even top-notch experts are rare there.

However, due to Chu Qinghe, the entire Yushui City is now under the jurisdiction of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, which also includes people from the Inviting Moon Flower Palace and the Water Mother Yin Ji Divine Water Palace.

Strictly speaking, it is jointly guarded by two top-tier forces and one first-rate force.

As for the imperial court, Zhu Wushi must have given specific instructions as well.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to cause trouble in Yushui City?

Therefore, although Chu Qinghe did not do anything intentionally, he unknowingly brought blessings to the region.

Qu Feiyan pouted, looking sullen.

For others, the improved public security in Yushui City is entirely beneficial.

But for Qu Feiyan, it had one drawback.

During this period last year, Qu Feiyan was occasionally able to rob the rich to help the poor.

During the process, I would also take a small fee as a reward to help me win at mahjong or poker later.

But now, because the Green Snake Gang and Iron Fist Sect in the city have been subdued by the Sun Moon Divine Cult, and the two sects are jointly managing the city, even those unscrupulous merchants who used to be rich and heartless have become more restrained. As a result, Qu Feiyan is now embarrassed to take action against these people again.

This has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of people Qu Feiyan can now rob.

In the past, when Qu Feiyan and the other girls played mahjong, the chips for gambling were measured in "liang" (a unit of weight).

However, now, the unit of measurement is "wen" (文).

Even in such cases, it's common to find that your wallet is emptier than your face.

Thinking of this, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but think of the two boxes of money under Xiao Zhao's bed.

"This sisterhood can last a lifetime."

Meanwhile, at the entrance of a lantern shop.

Bai Changfu, the owner of the lantern shop, looked at the poem written by the man in front of him, concealed the disdain in his eyes, and returned the bad poem written by the man with a smile.

After using his silver tongue to coax the other party into spending money to buy a lantern for the woman beside him, Bai Changfu glanced at the scholar who was still racking his brains trying to compose a good poem by the stall and sighed inwardly.

Last year, after seeing Chu Qinghe's poem, Bai Changfu's appetite became so spoiled that he never saw another poem that amazed him at first sight during the subsequent lantern festivals.

I did find quite a few beautiful lines in that so-called "heartbreaker" storybook.

But those things only appear in storybooks, so they can't be sold for money.

Half a month ago, during the Lantern Festival, Bai Changfu was overjoyed and ready to wait for Chu Qinghe to leave his calligraphy with his beauty so that he could make a fortune. However, he waited from night to day but failed to see Chu Qinghe.

This left Bai Changfu feeling lost and dejected for the past two weeks.

I feel terrible.

However, just as Bai Changfu forced a smile and shouted the slogan "Exchange poems for lanterns, no charge" to attract people, amidst the dim lights, Bai Changfu's gaze quickly swept across the street and noticed several incredibly beautiful women.

When Bai Changfu shifted his gaze and noticed Chu Qinghe walking in front of the women, he felt his back no longer ached, his legs no longer felt tired, and his whole body was full of energy.

Then, Bai Changfu rushed to Chu Qinghe in a few steps.

"Young master! Will you also be exchanging lanterns for poems this year?"

Looking at Bai Changfu in front of them, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue raised their eyebrows slightly, and memories of last year instantly flooded their minds.

Immediately afterward, Yaoyue's eyes lit up.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yaoyue and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Is this woman trying to pull the same trick again?"

Last year, after Chu Qinghe wrote that poem here, Dongfang Bubai secretly sent someone to buy back the manuscript of Chu Qinghe's poem, but the news he received was that the manuscript of Chu Qinghe's poem had already been bought first.

Based on Bai Changfu's description, Dongfang Bubai could be certain that it was the people from Yihua Palace who had bought the manuscript of the poem first.
