Chapter 586 The Power of Righteousness
"I don't quite understand. We don't have such a festival in Xicheng." An Yan told him the truth.
"Then we should take a look." Ouyang Mingxi gestured for An Yan to follow him.
The two of them soon arrived at a tall building, from where they could overlook everything, see the panoramic view of the city, and even see the sea, which was the best view.
Ouyang Mingxi looked at An Yan and asked her, "Are you afraid of heights?"
"I'm not afraid." An Yan replied.
"Then let's go up to the roof." Ouyang Mingxi said as he extended a hand to An Yan, "Hold me, I'll take you up."
"No, I can go up by myself." An Yan said as she jumped onto the roof and found that the scenery here was even more beautiful. She could see the entire city at a glance. It was really magnificent.
Ouyang Mingxi also followed up. He felt that after experiencing many lifetimes, An Yan's temperament had changed so completely. She used to be a very obedient person and had no ideas or thoughts of her own.
"Come, sit down. It's tiring to stand." Ouyang Mingxi gestured for An Yan to sit down on the roof.
An Yan sat down carefully, and then saw many lights slowly rising in the sky above the entire city, which looked like Kongming lanterns, but they shouldn't be, because Kongming lanterns are not that bright, and on the other side of the sea, there were also many lights rising.
What an amazing sight.
Ouyang Mingxi spread out his palm, and saw a lamp appear on his palm, slowly rising into the air.
An Yan found that lights were also rising around her. She asked, "It's really different."
"This is everyone's wish. It can be transformed into a lamp and released. One day it will come true." Ouyang Mingxi glanced at An Yan. Her profile was so beautiful, and illuminated by the warm yellow light, she looked even more delicate and charming.
An Yan said: "It's quite interesting. The night sky is completely filled with lights. It is everyone's wish."
"What's your wish?" Ouyang Mingxi asked him, looking down and found that the red string on his little finger was connected to An Yan's again.
An Yan's heart was startled. She glanced sideways at Ouyang Mingxi and felt that he seemed familiar. There was also an inexplicable emotion surging in her chest, making her unable to tell what the feeling was.
"What's wrong? Can't think of it, or don't you have it?" Ouyang Mingxi asked her.
An Yan turned her head and said, "I can't think of any wish at the moment. If I really have to name one, it would be peace and prosperity for the whole world."
"You are really magnanimous. Unlike other women, you always ask for small things." Ouyang Mingxi chuckled. In that life, he did not have only An Yan as his wife. Although he made her the queen, he also had three thousand beauties in his harem.
He did not have any interest in women, but in order to stabilize the court, he had to welcome many women into the palace. Therefore, in this life, he did not want to have a harem, nor did he need to rely on women to consolidate his imperial power.
Ouyang Mingxi believed that he was strong enough to give An Yan the best future, which he owed her.
An Yan said: "It's nothing, people are always different."
Ouyang Mingxi asked, "When do you plan to go back?"
"I would like to stay for two more days. The library in your palace is really good. There are many books that I have never read before." An Yan told him the truth.
"I also want you to stay for a few more days, but since you are the mayor of West City, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Ouyang Mingxi said.
An Yan nodded and said, "That's what I said."
"I'll take you home." Ouyang Mingxi said.
"You also have heavy responsibilities, so there's no need to see me off." An Yan signaled him not to be so polite.
The night wind blew, ruffling An Yan's hair and sticking it to her cheeks.
Ouyang Mingxi waved his hand, and a brocade cloak instantly appeared. He draped it over Anyan and said, "Don't catch a cold."
An Yan glanced down and said, "We should go back." Then he jumped off the roof first.
Ouyang Mingxi did not follow immediately, but raised his palm and waved it towards the sky. A huge golden dragon was seen flying in the air, and many fireworks bloomed and turned into golden powder and fell down.
An Yan reached out to take it, and found a small lotus lantern appeared on the palm of her hand, with a row of words "I want to send her back to the city" appearing on it. It slowly rose into the air, and the words disappeared.
Ouyang Mingxi then came down from the eaves and said to An Yan, "I hope my wish can come true."
An Yan didn't know what was wrong. She didn't seem to have any reason to refuse. Besides, this was just a trivial matter. Her brain hadn't figured it out yet, but she had already responded, saying, "Okay."
Ouyang Mingxi chuckled, and then sent An Yan back.
There were two other people staring at their backs, they were Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen.
Yan Qingqiu said: "I don't think he is a good person. What does this mean now? He is stealing your woman."
"They are destined to be together. There is a natural attraction that binds them to each other." Li Rongsen sighed softly. It seemed that he would need to put in more effort in the future.
"But he knew about the relationship between you and An Yan, and yet he still did such a thing." Yan Qingqiu just didn't like Ouyang Mingxi.
"Everyone can't help it." Li Rongsen said while coughing.
"Go back, you'll be feeling unwell soon." Yan Qingqiu gestured for Li Rongsen to go back and rest, then said, "It would be better if you didn't come to see me. You insisted on coming along, knowing clearly that it would make you uncomfortable."
Li Rongsen didn't say anything. He just walked slowly, looking up at the sky from time to time. It was full of warm yellow lights.
Yan Qingqiu said, "I never expected this love rival to be so difficult. It's completely beyond my imagination. With such a person, I'm sure this old man would have no choice but to side with him."
"The old man just wants An Yan and Zheng Yuan to be together." Li Rongsen said.
"This old man is so heartless. He doesn't even think about how you treat him on a daily basis." Yan Qingqiu frowned.
Li Rongsen didn't blame the old man, he just said: "He is worried about An Yan, afraid that she will be hurt."
At this time, Ouyang Mingxi was seen standing in front. He must have just sent An Yan back and was now waiting for Li Rongsen.
Li Rongsen said to Yan Qingqiu, "Go back to your room first. I'll have a conversation with him."
"Then if you have anything, just call me and I'll come out right away." Yan Qingqiu said as he walked into the yard.
Ouyang Mingxi asked him, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
"Much better." Li Rongsen replied.
"I don't want to do anything to hurt you, but I can't seem to control my emotions." Ouyang Mingxi looked helpless.
"This is not surprising. It's normal to like An Yan." Li Rongsen didn't blame him.
Ouyang Mingxi added, "Rongsen, you don't have to give up. Try to see if she can fall in love with you again. If she can, I have nothing to say."
The sincerity of these words made Li Rongsen feel a little emotional. He said, "Of course I won't give up. I will do my best to make her remember me."
"I agree, and I wish you the best, but I don't want to suppress my feelings either. Let's each rely on our own abilities, okay?" Ouyang Mingxi's eyes were burning, as if he was declaring war, but also as if he was negotiating.
Li Rongsen had no choice but to agree, so he said, "Okay."
Ouyang Mingxi patted his shoulder lightly and said, "You should get some rest early." Then he strode away.
Li Rongsen looked back at his back, thinking that the fate between the two was really strange. A few days ago, Ouyang Mingxi hadn't said that he had any feelings for An Yan, and it didn't even seem that he had any feelings for her. But now he said that he couldn't control it. Is it really that serious?
