Chapter 82: Chapter 82
What kind of large-scale bloody scene is this? Just as she was wondering, a big hand came up and the unsuspecting Su Yue was led forward.
The wind blew up her skirt, and she could only follow the person in front of her closely. There were many figures on both sides of the river, all of them relatives who came to offer sacrifices to the deceased.
Lotus lanterns of various colors floated on the river, illuminating the whole night with a warm light and dispelling a lot of sad atmosphere.
Going against the flow of people, Su Yue stared at Gu Lanxuan's back, the delicate ancient silver ribbon intertwined with the flamboyant black hair.
He still likes black robes with brocade fronts. He is really good at matching them. Every set of casual clothes wraps up his attractive figure just right, casual yet elegant.
He was already favored by God, his appearance was extremely handsome, and the Xuanji Pavilion was a powerful force that everyone in the world wanted to please.
He seems to be born without the constraints of the world, and he dares to do things that others would not dare to do. Just like now, he actually dares to drag a young girl who has not left the court to run around on the street. It is obviously a big taboo of Zifeng, but
Su Yue didn't want to blame him at all.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, maybe he was confused by the night tonight, and suddenly he felt peaceful in his heart.
As she followed him through the sea of people, the warmth from her palms made her heart tremble.
"My lantern!" Su Yue exclaimed subconsciously, turning back suddenly to look at the lantern that had been squeezed away by the crowd, with only two ropes fluttering in the wind in her hand.
Gu Lanxuan chuckled and pulled her along to trot, away from the crowd, and did not stop until she reached the Lover's Bridge in the city.
Su Yue withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes: "Young Master is really not taboo at all."
"What are you taboo about? Do you still want to chat with those two things?" Gu Lanxuan still looked carefree. All the filters Su Yue had just added to him were withdrawn, and his favorability dropped by one.
"Is that your man?" Su Yue asked the man who deliberately bumped into Ruan Yingying and Tong Yumeng. Gu Lanxuan did not deny it, but just hummed.
"They are all the same thing." After receiving his approval, Su Yue curled her lips and made another mental note to Gu Lanxuan.
Gu Lanxuan did not defend himself. He didn't care about other people's evaluation of him. Instead, he asked: "Isn't Xiao Linlang going to put on the lantern?"
It was okay not to mention it. When Su Yue mentioned this, she thought of the lanterns being squeezed away by the crowd. She snorted dissatisfiedly and complained: "All the lanterns are lost."
Not having to deal with those things, Su Yue suddenly felt more relaxed than ever before. At this time, she unexpectedly let go of all her guard and looked a bit delicate for her age.
Gu Lanxuan raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a man descended from the sky. He handed over the newly purchased lantern with both hands and bowed his head respectfully: "Young Master!"
It was the man who bumped into Ruan Yingying and Tong Yumeng just now. Gu Lanxuan took it and said: "You have nothing to do, go and play."
"..." Su Yue secretly rejoiced, but what she showed was disgust. This scene is a perfect setting in a bloody novel. No matter whether the male protagonist or the second male lead, there is always a sincere and powerful subordinate behind him.
"Everyone in Xuanji Pavilion is an elite, and Qing Huan is a pretty good prospect." Gu Lanxuan saw Su Yue's appraising eyes falling on Li Qinghuan, and guessed what she was thinking.
Qing Huan? Li Qing Huan? Su Yue immediately corresponded to his storyline. She and Ye Xi's lieutenant Bai Cha had been acquainted with each other from time to time and became a pair of happy enemies.
The subsequent story line is unclear, I only know that it is still be. In short, no couple in the book has a perfect ending.
Su Yue said perfunctorily and took the lantern from his hand unceremoniously.
Gu Lanxuan saw her squatting by the river, writing her birthday on the lantern with a pen, and curiously wanted to take a closer look.
Su Yue hurriedly hid the lantern behind her back, with a vigilant look on her face, as if to guard against thieves.
"Stay away!"
She hid it quickly, but Gu Lanxuan still saw two words: "Twelfth Moon? Who is it?"
"It's none of your business." Su Yue said angrily. Gu Lanxuan only felt that she was not as gentle as a boudoir girl. Then he thought about it and thought she was Yue Linlang, and felt that it was normal.
After writing the lantern, he gently put it into the water. Only then did Gu Lanxuan see the words on the lantern.
Su Yue, on the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the ninth year of Tianyuan.
Su Yue? Gu Lanxuan has doubts in his heart. Isn't that Princess Zifeng?
"I was just entrusted by someone." Su Yue spoke as an explanation. She watched the lanterns go away before getting up and talking about business, "Young Master, can you tell me why you are here?"
Gu Lanxuan was leaning against the wall, with a tall and thin figure, a leisurely attitude, and an indifferent expression. Her thin lips were slightly raised, and she raised a lazy smile: "I'm here specifically to see Xiao Linlang."
"Looking for me?" Su Yue looked up and down. If she hadn't been thinking about the plot all the time, she would have been captured by his charming image that captivated all living beings.
"Young Master's order?" Su Yue asked. She couldn't think of anything else she had that was worthy of his personal visit.
"No!" Gu Lanxuan shook his head and said solemnly, "A date."
"???" Su Yue thought he was confused, "Is the young master's brain broken?"
"I'm serious." Gu Lanxuan stretched out his slender palm, "It's time for Xiao Linlang to return my favor."
"..." Favor? Is it Hua Haitang's favor?
Seeing that Su Yue was confused, Gu Lanxuan curled his fingertips slightly and said with a hint of charm in his voice: "Come on, go on a date with me."
He did help with Hua Haitang's matter. Without his help, it would not have been so smooth. But... today is the Ghost Festival, isn't he taboo?
"Young Master is really good at choosing the right time." Su Yue replied dully, not rejecting his date invitation.
"The gate of hell is wide open, and the evil soldiers are taking advantage of it. Doesn't Xiao Linlang not want to know who is causing the trouble?"
Gu Lanxuan knew her temperament. If she really just came to put out lanterns to worship her relatives, she would not send the maid away. What's more, the people she was offering sacrifices were not her relatives at all. She obviously came here for the rumors in the city.
After being exposed by him, Su Yue made no excuse. Gu Lanxuan saw that she was stuck there like a piece of wood, so he took the initiative to step forward and hold her hand tightly: "Be obedient and go on a date with me."
Su Yue had no choice but to straighten her fingers and let him pull her away. Refusing to interlock her fingers was her last stubbornness. Gu Lanxuan found it very funny.
According to the custom of the Hungry Ghost Festival, one must go home before midnight. This may be due to the Yin soldiers taking advantage of the way. Those who do not go home will never be able to go back.
So before midnight, there were only a few scattered figures left in the originally bustling Chengxin Street, all of them were vendors closing their stalls in a hurry.
"Young Master, aren't you bored?" Su Yue asked without changing her expression, and Gu Lanxuan reached out to press her stubborn fingers.
