”When does the moon come near, the sound of falling swallows.”
Luo Lingwei thought it was interesting. Obviously, it was the end of spring, but why did it start to sing an autumn song?
”Who is the singer?” Luo Lingwei was curious.
At this moment, with his eyes closed and his mind resting, Ye Lianhe heard Luo Lingwei's question and replied, ”Vermillion Bird Bridge's Swallow Tower.”
”Is there a story?”
Luo Lingwei became even more curious.
”Shh!” Ye Lianhe whispered into Luo Lingwei's ear.
”The one playing is not the singer, but the puppet.”
Puppet? Luo Lingwei was so scared that goosebumps appeared on her back. Was the Xuan dynasty that mysterious? Why are there puppets?
”Those who trespass into the territory of Xu An, the biggest master of cicadas, will die. Those lotus flower lamps were her warning to the participants of the Golden Dinner of the Night. The puppet that played the lute was the finished product of her lower grade. The pipa strings are the best weapon. ”
Luo Lingwei nodded. The golden feast of the night was a celebration for the entire city. On that night, all the doors were free to enter and leave. Players were free to ask their attendants to do anything they wanted.
It was similar to the King's Games of the modern era.
If not for the fact that the system had confirmed that there were no additional transcenders, she would have suspected that the former emperor of the dynasty who invented the game was a powerful woman from the modern era.
The big boss of Swallow Phoenix Brothel definitely didn't want to participate in the game, so he let out the river lantern warning ahead of time. But...
”Why is Xu Anguo's teacher, Su Yeyue, living in Xuanguo?”
”I don't know.” Ye Lianhe shook his head. No one knew about her true origins from the Swallow Tower. She came from Xuanguo, so it was just a piece of news she released herself.
It was hard to tell if it was real or fake.
Luo Lingwei originally wanted to see what a puppet in a novel was like, but her curiosity caused the cat to not want to die in a foreign land just because of her little life, so she gave up.
The young maid's eyes darted around, and she smiled as she approached Luo Lingwei to put on a show, ”Princess, you must be curious about what kind of puppet this is, since it's your first time here.”
Luo Lingwei's expression turned dark as she coldly looked at her: ”What do you mean?”
The young maid didn't seem discouraged at all as she took out a wooden rabbit the size of a thumb from her sleeve. The little rabbit was very exquisite in her work, the joints of her eyes were all made into moving parts. The small eyes followed his movements and moved nimbly.
Ye Lianhe stared at the young maid calmly.
”Hmm?” Luo Lingwei gathered her energy and sized up the young maid.
It was probably because they hadn't covered up their tracks along the way that they had all come running towards Nightingale. This time, the little girl didn't know who it belonged to.
”The Swallow Tower's OP refuses to participate in the Golden Dinner of the Night. However, towards the guests that have travelled here from afar, he still wishes to show his hospitality as a guest. This rabbit is the first to give the wangfei sincerity, are you satisfied with it? ”
Luo Lingwei understood and feared that the Swallow School Mistress had long predicted that they would pass through here today, so she had arranged for people to intercept them. Whether it was the singing or the river lamps, she had revealed them on purpose.
”Don't you think your intentions are too obvious?”
The young maid held the rabbit and did not speak any further.
With an indifferent expression, Ye Lianhe said, ”If Yanzi wants to invite you, then it would seem that I am not being sincere.”
