At this time, many people had come to the lantern festival and were chattering.

"Oh, I don't know if we will be lucky enough to receive the blessing of the Qilin God today."

"Even if I don't get the blessing, I'll be satisfied if I can see the Qilin God."

"That's right. I'm really looking forward to the appearance of the Qilin God. After all, I've never seen a god in my life."

While they were chatting, small vendors on the streets on both sides of the lantern festival had already started setting up their stalls.

In the largest open space of the Lantern Festival, the Qilin Envoy was leading people to sort out the final procedures.

"You have practiced privately so many times, and now all you need is this step. Pay attention, if anyone makes a mistake in that step, don't blame me for being cruel."

The Qilin God used words to hit everyone.

"Yes, messenger of God." The people present replied respectfully.

The Qilin Envoy nodded in satisfaction and said, "Keep on with your work. Remember to send some people to the entrance of the Lantern Festival to greet the distinguished guests standing in the front row today."

Soon, the Lantern Festival officially began, and the show of the Qilin God appearing was about to make its grand debut.

"County Magistrate Su, you actually came in person. The Qilin God must be very happy to see you."

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look a lot younger. It must be the blessing of the Qilin God."

The Qilin Envoy smiled and greeted the famous people in the county, then looked at the arranged seats in confusion.

He waved to the waiter not far away, "Has the merchant who donated a thousand taels of gold today not arrived yet?"

The waiter thought for a while and nodded, "We didn't see him when we stood at the street corner to greet him."

The Qilin God's messenger frowned after hearing this. This person was obviously interested in Qilin God's affairs before, and he donated so much gold for it, but it hasn't even come yet. Could something have happened?

The Qilin God was particularly concerned about this kind of rich people who could squeeze money out of money many times, so he thought for a while and said.

"Go to the courtyard where he is temporarily staying and see if there is anything that has delayed him."

Without waiting for the waiter to nod, Xu Jinhuan walked over with a smile.

"Sorry, it's not good business. I encountered something on the way, so I came a little late. Am I not late?"

The Qilin Envoy immediately smiled and shook his head, "We are not late. The time is just right. That is your seat. This waiter will take you there."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "That's good. I'm really looking forward to what will happen tonight."

The Qilin God's Envoy thought Xu Jinhuan was talking about the Qilin God's appearance, and he puffed out his chest proudly upon hearing that. "Don't worry, your trip today will definitely be worthwhile."

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Xu Jinhuan was led to his seat by the waiter.

The richest man Zhou looked unhappy even when he sat down.

When he saw the county magistrate sitting in the first seat, he didn't care too much. After all, he should give the county magistrate face.

But when he saw the waiter leading him to the third seat, there was already some anger on his face.

Who is the short-sighted guy who arranged the seats? Even if it weren't for his relationship with the master, he should have sat in the second seat just based on his status among the Qilin God's believers.

Is he, the richest man in Tongqiao County, so worthless? How will the people of Tongqiao view him in the future?

Just when Mr. Zhou wanted to find the Qilin Envoy to have a talk, he saw the Envoy smiling and talking to a young man.

Then the young man actually sat next to him, which was the second seat.

Who is this person? Mr. Zhou glanced at Xu Jinhuan silently and began to speculate in his heart.

Xu Jinhuan didn't care about the gazes of the people around her at all. She casually opened her folding fan and fanned herself, waiting for the show to begin.

Before long, the chairs in the open space were filled, and more people knelt behind the chairs. It was a huge crowd, which was enough to show the influence of the Qilin God in Tongqiao County.

But soon, these believers will turn to the arms of her land god, Xu Jinhuan thought with a smile.

When the Qilin messenger saw that the auspicious time was approaching, he walked towards the platform with a smile.

"Fellow villagers of Tongqiao County, we are gathered here today to witness the appearance of our Tongqiao County's true God, Lord Kirin. Are you looking forward to it?"

"expect!"

"Qilin God, Qilin God!"

The Qilin Envoy stretched out his hand and waved it downwards with satisfaction, signaling everyone to keep their voices down, and then he continued.

"Ever since the Qilin God appeared in our Tongqiao County, our county has enjoyed good weather, abundant harvests, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, without illness or disaster.

Let us pray to the Qilin God and thank him together!"

After hearing this, the kneeling people's faces were filled with worship for the Qilin God, and for a moment the sound of prayers resounded throughout the entire venue.

"Thank you for the blessing of Qilin God. I hope Qilin God will continue to bless my family."

"Qilin God, please bless my daughter-in-law to have a son, so that my Gu family can continue to have incense."

"Qilin God, please bless my husband's business to be prosperous, and bless us to be harmonious and in love."

…

Compared to the kneeling people, most of the people sitting on the chairs prayed silently. They closed their eyes for a while, as if they had finished praying in their hearts, and then opened their eyes.

But Xu Jinhuan didn't close his eyes to pray at all. He had been observing the Qilin Messenger on the high platform. When he saw him suddenly make a strange gesture to the people behind the scenes, he knew the time had come.

The man who was looking at the Qilin Envoy turned around and made a gesture to the people around him. Soon, an exquisite Qilin slowly appeared in the night sky.

"Hurry, look, what is that?"

"Could this be the Qilin God?"

"The Kirin God has appeared?"

The Qilin God immediately smiled and said, "The Qilin God has heard your prayers. He is moved by your sincerity and is willing to appear to bless you."

When the kneeling people heard this, they kowtowed even harder. For a moment, the venue was filled with the sounds of kowtow and prayer.

"Meet the Kirin God!"

"May the Qilin God bless our family."

Some people sitting on the chairs were surprised by the Qilin in the air and quickly knelt on the ground.

While most people were busy kowtowing and praying, the Qilin Envoy made a gesture to the people behind him.

Then he smiled and said, "Master Qilin God told me that in order to retain more power to bless you, he can no longer stay in the air.

In a moment he will appear behind the screen and bless the true believers."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qilin in the air began to flicker, and then disappeared with a "swish".

And behind the screen, there was another loud "bang", as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
