The next day, Qu Lingyuan got out of bed early.
She was not really preparing for the trip, and the foot of the mountain was not that attractive to her. She got up so early just to dress herself up.
The only one who can make her care is Yu Jinjiang.
Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Even the most beautiful face needs exquisite clothes and makeup to match it, otherwise it would be a waste of talent.
While washing up, Qu Lingyuan called Yi Ling.
"Is there any unusual movement over there?"
Qu Lingyuan slept soundly all night, while Yi Ling went to keep an eye on Shi Ran all night.
"She contacted someone from Wangsheng Pavilion again, and even met with the Pavilion Master in the early morning." Yi Ling's tone was as cold as water.
"Oh? The same old trick again?" Qu Lingyuan chuckled.
Are all the female supporting characters so unskilled that they have to use the same method twice? Isn't this forcing her to reveal her true identity?
After a few seconds of silence, Yi Ling pondered, "It's worth mentioning that the head of Wangsheng Pavilion... looks a bit like you."
Qu Lingyuan frowned, then relaxed.
"A melodramatic plot? My father is not dead?" She put down the comb in her hand and sat aside.
If you think about it this way, it might not be a bad thing.
It also saves her the trouble of investigating and finding evidence. She can just ask the people in Wangsheng Pavilion directly.
I just don’t know what Wangsheng Pavilion’s attitude towards me is. Even if they are really relatives, she has been in Huashan for so long, maybe they will be regarded as a spy?
"The Pavilion Master is very young, he can't be your father." Yi Ling curled his lips and reminded her.
Qu Lingyuan glanced at him and randomly guessed, "Oh, that must be my brother."
It doesn't matter who it is, no matter their identity or attitude, we have to confront them head-on to confirm it.
If the Pavilion Master and himself are really related by blood, then the feud between Wangsheng Pavilion and Huashan can be explained.
It was Huashan who destroyed the bandit’s nest back then.
But if they did something good, they wouldn't be wiped out...
Qu Lingyuan was a little confused for a moment.
Now that Shi Ran is acting as a middleman, she doesn't have to go find the Wangsheng Pavilion's lair herself.
This is really...convenient.
We’ll talk about it when the time comes.
After figuring it out, she got up and packed her things.
Yu Jinjiang came to have lunch with her, and the two of them immediately set off down the mountain.
Shi Ran stayed quietly in the room, oblivious to what was happening outside.
Wangsheng Pavilion can even deal with the old leader and Gu Chi, so why can't it deal with Qu Lingyuan?
I've already told Wangsheng Pavilion not to hurt Yu Jinjiang, so I guess they won't break their promise...
This was the only thing she was unsure about.
————
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the mountain was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.
The air was still filled with the faint smell of fireworks after the firecrackers, and the ground was covered with broken red petals, as bright as brocade.
There are fewer hawkers on the street, probably because everyone has gone home to be with their families.
The ancient Spring Festival was filled with a strong sense of ritual, with people praying and officials offering sacrifices to their ancestors.
There are fewer street vendors, but a lot more "street artists".
Most of them have no relatives to reunite with, so they just seize this opportunity to perform well, bring good luck to others, make more money for themselves, and pray that they can live well in the new year.
In ancient times, men and women generally would not engage in intimate behavior on the street. Unfortunately, Qu Lingyuan was from the modern era, and Yu Jinjiang had lived in Huashan since he was a child and had very little contact with women, so he didn't quite understand these things.
They walked hand in hand on the street. There were many people around, so no one paid any attention to them.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the day for ancestor worship and New Year's greetings. Passersby are of all kinds. Qu Lingyuan thought that Wangsheng Pavilion would not appear in broad daylight.
Not knowing the specific route of her and Yu Jinjiang, how would Wangsheng Pavilion plan to assassinate her? She was very curious about how Shi Ran discussed this with the Pavilion Master.
Yiling couldn't explain it.
They used code words when talking, even when they were face to face, and were extremely cautious.
All you can see are expressions and looks.
Finally, he heard Shi Ran add, "There is no need to hurt Yu Jinjiang."
Qu Lingyuan was very curious at this time. Wangsheng Pavilion had such a strong opinion about Huashan, would they really only target her and not hurt Yu Jinjiang?
Shi Ran was taking things for granted.
If something really happened to Yu Jinjiang, she would have no way to seek justice even if she regretted it.
"Do you remember the temple where you drew fortune last time?" Yu Jinjiang turned his head and saw her in a daze, then gently pinched her little hand and asked.
Qu Lingyuan came back to her senses and was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course I remember."
Their signatures were still a pair, but they hadn't had time to tell Yu Jinjiang yet.
Pointing at the bustling crowd in the distance, Yu Jinjiang said, "There's going to be a temple fair near the temple. Let's go and see it together?"
When you go out to play, you always have to have a destination. There is no point in wandering around the streets except watching street performances.
There are also performances at the temple fair, which are more formal.
"Let's go!" Qu Lingyuan pulled him and took the initiative to walk forward.
She had never seen a temple fair before.
There were many people in front, so in order to avoid being separated, we gathered closer.
"Wow--"
The crowd not far ahead burst into cheers. Qu Lingyuan was very curious and took advantage of her petite figure to pull Yu Jinjiang in.
Looking closely, it turned out to be an "illusion" performance, commonly known as a jugglery trick. In Qu Lingyuan's understanding, it was a magic trick.
"Which gentleman would like to come forward and experience the magic?" The "magician" standing in the center of the crowd looked gentle and fair-skinned, but his voice was loud.
He only wants men, probably because he is worried about the inappropriate physical contact between men and women.
Many people in the crowd were eager to come forward, so he simply picked one at random.
This mysterious "illusion" was very magical in the eyes of ancient people. Many people did not know that it was fake and really thought that the person could perform "magic".
