Luojing, East Continent.
After having fun in the night market at night, the people from the Xiangyu Sect returned to the academy to rest.
Pushing open the door, Loran Hill returned to his room carrying the bag. Dai Ju, who had been sleeping on the chair, had already woken up.
When it saw the girl coming back, it chirped in grievance, as if it was sad why Roland didn't take it out to play.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely take you out next time." The girl walked over to the little guy, picked it up and touched it.
"Look, Blue Jay has only gone out a few times. Just let him go this time." Then Loran Hill took out the snacks he bought at the night market from the bag, broke them open and fed them to the greedy little guy, and then he calmed down.
Loran Hill couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the guy's fat body, then put the remaining snacks on a plate and let it peck at them by itself.
After a good night's rest, Loran Hill found Gu Lie the next day to ask and understand the situation.
There was a large round table in the spacious room, and Loran Hill and Gu Lie were sitting at the table.
"Loran, do you want to ask about the arrangements in the court?" Gu Lie looked at the beautiful girl with silver hair and black dress.
"Yes." Loran Hill nodded.
"Shortly after I arrived in Luojing, I asked several officials from the Spring Court. They said that it was getting close to the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, and that the official announcement would be made during that time."
After that, Loran Hill asked in detail about the specific process, and then she felt relieved. Then she asked about the Ye family.
"That's easy. I'll write a visiting card for you and have someone deliver it to the Ye family. You'll get a reply in a few days." The Xiangyu Sect is a well-known sect that receives visits, so they still have some face.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu Lie." The girl nodded.
A few days later, Gu Lie handed an invitation to Loran Hill.
"The Ye Mansion will hold a flower viewing banquet soon and will invite many people. It's a good time for you to visit. Here is the invitation." After saying that, he handed a dark blue invitation to the girl.
When the invitation was unfolded, pavilions and towers were printed with gold powder, as well as silver powder flowers on the dark blue background. There was also an inscription on the side, which was very exquisite.
"The autumn wind is getting more beautiful, and I am enjoying the fragrance of the pavilion."
Although the word "flower" is not included in the name, it still conveys the meaning of flower appreciation and is quite elegant. The date is set for the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, which is five days later.
Just after Loran Hill accepted the invitation, Gu Lie asked about another matter.
"Junior sister, are you signing up for the Red Tower Sword Fight?"
Logically speaking, as one of the new generation representatives of the Xiangyu School, Loran Hill must participate, but her current status is special, and she usually likes quietness, so she may not necessarily go.
"Do I have to go?" The girl tilted her head slightly and looked at her senior brother with clear eyes.
"That's not the case." Gu Lie looked at this suddenly lovely junior sister and shifted his gaze.
"Then don't go. It shouldn't have any impact." Loran Hill blinked.
"Uh, okay..." Gu Lie had no choice but to agree.
The result of the Red Tower 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 will be lost.
However, the Xiangyu Sect is now very powerful. Even if we don't count Loran Hill, there are still Gu Lie and Jin Hua, two Sequence 7s, in charge. There is no need to worry about this at all.
"Then during this time, Luo Lan should guide the others well. The sword fighting will begin in the beginning of August in the Dragon Calendar, which is ten days from now."
"Yes, I will." Loran Hill nodded.
In the days that followed, besides guiding the other disciples in their training, Loran Hill would occasionally go out for a stroll and see the bustling city. As night approached, he would return to his room to read, maintaining a stable routine.
After a few days, the flower viewing banquet in Ye Mansion began.
In the morning, Loran Hill arrived outside the Ye Mansion according to the time on the invitation.
The spacious streets were lined with carriages. Some of these carriages were decorated with carvings and burning incense, while others had gauze windows covering them, which was quite luxurious. Many of them were even pulled by exotic animals, making them look even more noble.
"The Bi family, Master Bi Haihong has arrived~"
"Longshu Xuejie Sect, Master Chenxi has arrived~"
"Prince Cai Su's Mansion, Princess Liu Yue has arrived~"
"Luning Ranbifang, the fairy Xiangqi has arrived~"
"Beifu Mountain, Master Canglan has arrived~"
As the guests entered one by one holding their invitations, the waiter at the door sang loudly.
Just as Loran Hill approached the gate, another chant came from the front.
"The tiger roars in the Nine Desolate Mountains, Yue Guan." The chant was not made by the waiter, but by a man dressed in dark coarse cloth. He was eight feet tall, with his hands on his sides, his joints thick and covered with calluses.
"Who is this?"
"Didn't he have an invitation? Logically speaking, he's just coming to the door, so it shouldn't be that serious."
"I don't know, but I just know there's going to be a good show today." Several people nearby were talking to each other. Most of them were young people from the big families in Luojing, and they were particularly enthusiastic about this kind of excitement.
The waiters at the gate were a little embarrassed, and then several of them hurriedly reported to the mansion. Soon after, a man in black and gorgeous clothes came out to greet them.
"I have long heard of Master Yue Guan's great name. I forgot to send you the invitation before. It is indeed the fault of the servants in the mansion. I am truly sorry..."
After his words of comfort and the arrangement of the stairs, the disciple from Jiuhuang Mountain no longer stood still at the gate and followed him into the mansion.
"It's Ye Zhen, the third young master of the Ye family. He probably heard the noise and came out to smooth things over." Several young nobles nearby continued to discuss.
"That's actually quite interesting. This banquet was originally co-hosted by the Ye Mansion and several families with whom we have good personal relationships. If others want to attend, just let them know in advance. We generally won't refuse. It's a social gathering, so the more people there are, the more lively it is."
