Li Xue immediately stopped dancing, left with several guards, and became a spectator.
Seeing Li Xue leave, the men could only turn their attention to the other girls.
Li Guang was still dancing with great enthusiasm, unaware that Li Xue and several guards had already left the dance floor.
At this moment, a commotion broke out among the surrounding crowd, and people began to applaud. An old man dressed in red walked onto the dance floor, carrying a tray full of candy.
The old man went to the center of the dance floor and started dancing with the young people.
Li Xue was a little confused as to how a clown-like old man could cause such a sensation by entering the venue and dancing, and receive such enthusiastic support from people both inside and outside the venue, thus bringing the dance party to a climax.
Perhaps this is the unique feature of Nansha Ancient Castle: just enjoy the spectacle and don't worry about anything else.
The revelry continued, and the bonfire burned brighter and brighter, with flames leaping more than ten feet high, illuminating everything around them.
People were focused on the young men and women dancing in the venue; they were the stars of the dance. Li Guang was undoubtedly the most handsome man there, outshining all the other men in terms of both physique and appearance.
Just then, a man skipped along and suddenly came up to the old man, asked for a piece of candy, and handed it to the girl next to him.
The girl took the candy, immediately put it in her mouth, and happily ate it, which drew cheers and applause from the audience.
Li Xue found it a bit unbelievable. The girl had only eaten a piece of candy; what was there for the people on the outside to be so happy about?
Boys started giving candy to girls, and the crowd cheered, wave after wave.
By this time, Li Guang was surrounded by many girls dancing around him. Li Guang found it very interesting. He knew some of the customs of ethnic minorities, but this kind of interactive dance between the audience and the audience was something he had never seen before.
Just then, a girl entered the ballroom, and her appearance caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.
The girl had a great figure and a beautiful face. Her clothes were noticeably different from the other girls', making her look noble and elegant.
When the girl appeared at the ball, the other girls immediately paled in comparison. She went to Li Guang's side and began to dance.
There were originally many girls dancing around Li Guang, but when she joined in, they quietly withdrew.
The girl's dance was beautiful, and coupled with her stunning beauty, it was a delight to behold. Li Guang couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
At this moment, Li Guang couldn't help but sigh. In the southern border of the Great Northern Dynasty, there was such a beautiful woman. Judging from her attire, she must be a lady from a prominent family in some tribe.
Li Guang noticed that there were fewer people dancing at the scene, and he didn't see Li Xue and the guards, so he decided to leave to find Li Xue.
At this moment, the girl approached Li Guang with a smile and said:
"I want some candy. Could you please give me a piece, sir?"
An old man in red clothes walked around them with magnetic dance steps. If she wanted candy, she could just reach out and grab it. Why was the girl asking him for candy?
At this moment, everyone was in high spirits. Looking at them, Li Guang didn't think much and casually took a piece of candy from the old man's tray and handed it to the girl.
The girl took the candy with great excitement. She looked at the candy in her hand, then at Li Guang, her eyes filled with tenderness. She gently put the candy into her mouth and ate it.
The moment the girl put the candy in her mouth, the whole scene erupted in excitement. Why did people react so strongly to the girl eating a piece of candy?
Li Xue felt that there must be something going on, but she didn't know it. Thinking of this, she asked an old man next to her.
The old man sized up Li Xue and said:
"It seems the girl isn't a local. Those young people were dancing a matchmaking dance, and the one in red is the Matchmaker, who's holding a marriage candy."
If a girl at the scene takes a liking to a young man, she can ask him for candy. If a boy also takes a liking to a girl, he can get a piece of marriage candy from the God of Marriage and give it to the girl.
The girl ate the candy on the spot, which meant they were engaged, and everyone present gave them their blessings.
After the ball, they became a couple and probably got married.
The girl we just saw is the daughter of our Nanyi tribe chief. She took a fancy to that young man, so she asked him for marriage candy.
I wonder whose son this is. How lucky he is to have caught the eye of the clan chief's daughter.
You must know that the chieftain's daughter is the most beautiful girl in the entire castle, possessing not only extraordinary skills but also excelling in both literature and martial arts.
After the old man finished speaking, he didn't notice Li Xue's expression and continued to revel with the crowd.
Li Xue was shocked. This was terrible. Why did Li Guang take a fancy to someone else's girl and even want to marry her?
She knew that Li Guang might not know this custom and had misunderstood it, so she wanted to tell Li Guang to leave this place immediately.
Just as Li Xue was about to step forward, more than a dozen fully armed female soldiers entered the fray, followed by even more imposing military officers.
The female soldiers approached the girl and Li Guang and immediately knelt down.
"Congratulations, young master! Congratulations, young lord!"
The girl's face was beaming. She glanced at the female soldier kneeling before her and excitedly spoke:
"Get up, everyone. Take the young master and return to the castle immediately. Today is a joyous occasion, and everyone will be rewarded."
The female soldiers immediately cheered, and the soldiers behind them rushed forward to protect the girl and Li Guang in the middle.
"Young Master, return to the castle. Everyone else, please make way." A general on horseback arrived at the scene and led the group to leave.
The crowd quickly parted to make way, and the group immediately left.
