The Lantern Festival was very lively.
Everyone decorated the streets with lanterns and streamers. Even the nomads learned from the outside world and hung all kinds of lanterns everywhere. It was very beautiful. The streets were full of crowded people who were wandering around to enjoy the sights.
Many shops would place riddles under the lanterns in order to attract customers or attract popularity. Although the nomads were not good at this kind of word game, their forthright character made them want to have a try. However, those riddles were too difficult, and they only solved a few in the morning.
Unlike other places, the cold weather in Zhongjing City made there more ice sculptures here, and the people here were very good at ice sculpting. The center of the street was full of all kinds of ice sculptures, including dragons and beasts, all of which were lifelike. Not to mention children, even adults liked them very much.
However, everyone knew that the prettier and more beautiful things were in the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival was located in a huge courtyard in the southwest of Zhongjing City. The courtyard covered an area of nearly 100 acres, and it was usually the place where the rich people of Zhongjing City played. Every Lantern Festival, the courtyard would be completely decorated with the Lantern Festival theme. Even through the wall, one could see a lot of beautiful scenery inside.
However, this scenery could only be seen from outside the wall, and it would cost a lot to enter the Lantern Festival. The nomads of Zhongjing City were not rich, and most of them could not afford it.
Of course, this did not mean that no one came to the Lantern Festival. On the contrary, the Lantern Festival would be overcrowded every year.
The people who came here were all rich people of Zhongjing City, and the Lantern Festival was not only for appreciation, but also a symbol of status and strength.
If you could not come to the Lantern Festival, it meant that you were not strong enough. If you could come to the Lantern Festival, it meant that you had a certain amount of financial resources. After the Lantern Festival was spring, when all the businesses of the year began. There were countless business opportunities in the Lantern Festival. It could be said that at the beginning of the year, a considerable part of the cooperation started in the Lantern Festival.
The older people talked about business, while the younger people talked about potential. On one side of the Lantern Festival, a part of it was opened for the young people. All the young people of Zhongjing City gathered there, and there was no one left out.
When Han Ya brought Lu An into the Lantern Garden, Lu An was immediately attracted by the ice sculptures here.
Before today, Lu An had never seen an ice sculpture. He only knew a little about ice sculptures from the words of others. But no matter how he described it, it was not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes. The huge ice sculptures in front of him, and even the huge ice palace, made him feel astonished.
Lu An looked around as he walked. He walked and stopped in the Lantern Garden, completely attracted by the magical ice sculpture. Beside him, Han Ya was also patiently accompanying him. To Han Ya, this kind of ice sculpture had long been used to it. Moreover, there was nothing new about these ice sculptures every year. They had always been the same.
In the Lantern Festival, Han Ya and Lu An passed by. Although not many people had seen Lu An before, many people knew Han Ya. When they saw the young man beside Han Ya, they more or less guessed that this young man was Lu An.
Thinking of this, many people cast their eyes on the two of them, and all of them were looking at Lu An. However, they found that this young man's appearance was much different from what they had imagined. There was no aura around him. Instead, he looked very ordinary.
Although Lu An's appearance was rather delicate and pretty, he didn't look boorish in the nomads' sense of beauty. Such an image undoubtedly disappointed them.
After walking half of the Lantern Garden, the two of them came to a stone bridge. After crossing the stone bridge, there was a large courtyard in front of them. The sound of laughter inside was very loud. Obviously, there were quite a lot of people.
"What's inside?" Lu An looked at Han Ya and asked curiously.
"A place where young people gather." Han Ya looked ahead and said expressionlessly, "It's said to be a young talent, but there are very few real talents. Most of them are playboys."
Lu An was startled. He frowned slightly and said, "Forget it. Let's go back."
"That's not necessary." Han Ya shook her head slightly and said, "There are a lot of interesting things inside. Let's go in and have a look."
Lu An was startled. He nodded and walked into the courtyard with Han Ya.
After passing through the courtyard, their eyes suddenly opened up. A huge artificial lake stood in the middle of the courtyard. Even though it was winter, the water in the lake was still flowing. There was no sign of it freezing.
And all the buildings here were all above the small lake. Whether it was the pavilion or the road, there was no exception. There were even many ice sculptures in the lake. They were like dragons coming out of the water. It was very spectacular.
When Lu An saw this, he was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. An ice sculpture that could sit in the water, he didn't even think about it.
"The water in the lake doesn't freeze because there are two water attributed beast cores at the bottom." Han Ya looked at Lu An's expression and gave a rare smile. She explained, "The reason why the ice sculpture doesn't melt is that there is a layer of metal on the surface of the underwater part."
When Lu An heard this, he suddenly realized and couldn't help but admire her in his heart. Although it doesn't seem like much, to be able to use crystal cores to create a lake and to cover the ice sculpture with metal, this kind of spending is not something that ordinary people can afford.
The two of them slowly walked on the bridge. Lu An noticed that there were still fish swimming in the lake under the bridge. It seems that the temperature of the water was really not affected by the outside world.
However, Lu An didn't notice that as he and Han Ya strolled, more and more gazes were focused on them.
On the other side of the courtyard, in a luxurious pavilion, there were two people whose gazes were focused on them. Ever since they noticed them, they didn't look away.
Wang Wei, Wang Xue.
There was a huge scar on Wang Wei's face. This scar was very obvious and shocking. It made his originally ugly face even uglier. Not only his face, but even his back had scars. Although doctors could remove the scars, it would take a full year. This made Wang Wei extremely uncomfortable.
Wang Wei looked at the two of them with eyes full of hatred. He even gnashed his teeth, wishing that he could tear the two of them into pieces!
Compared to Wang Wei, Wang Xue's gaze was much colder.
Moreover, she didn't even look at Han Ya. Her gaze was completely focused on Lu An.
In this half a month of recuperation, she would often think of the battle that day. Later when she heard that Lu An could actually withstand Huang Kai's punch, she was even more shocked. She had never been so interested in anyone before. After half a month, seeing Lu An again, her heart was filled with an indescribable emotion.
This was – anticipation?
Very quickly, Han Ya and Lu An arrived at a pavilion. Many people in the pavilion recognised Han Ya. They also knew that this young man was powerful. They all took the initiative to greet him. Han Ya and Lu An also politely returned the greeting and started to chat with these people.
Seeing the two of them surrounded by the crowd, Wang Wei's heart was filled with resentment. He suddenly stood up from his chair, the teacup in his hand heavily smashed onto the ground!
This smash shocked the people in the pavilion. Even Wang Xue frowned at Wang Wei, her face full of dissatisfaction.
"I can't stand it!" Wang Wei's voice was low and roaring, as if it contained endless anger. He clenched his teeth and said, "Do any of you have any way to humiliate that kid?"
The surrounding people were stunned. These people were usually those who fawned over Wang Wei. Now that their boss had spoken, how could they not use their brains?
In a moment, the entire pavilion started to discuss softly.
"Boss, my archery skills are very accurate. I can compete with him in archery!"
"My equestrian skills are not bad. But in this courtyard, it's a little difficult to display …"
"I can smell the fragrance. Usually, I can differentiate those women based on their rouge fragrance!"
"… …"
In a moment, these people blurted out everything they knew, not caring if it was appropriate or not. There were some things that even Wang Xue felt ashamed for them when she heard them.
However, Wang Wei did not care. He waved his hand and said loudly, "Enough, those who have a skill follow me! Whoever can teach that kid a lesson, I will reward heavily! "
Hearing this, the crowd was delighted and quickly said, "Thank you boss!"
Then, a group of people followed behind Wang Wei and walked forward noisily. Wang Xue frowned and thought for a moment, but still followed.
Soon, Han Ya and Lu An, who were chatting with the surrounding people, heard a series of frequent footsteps behind them. Following that, they heard an ear-piercing voice coming from afar!
The two of them turned around and saw Wang Wei pushing away the people blocking his way. He stepped into the pavilion aggressively.
Following that, Wang Wei did not say a word. He stepped hard on the stone chair in front of Lu An and shouted, "Kid, do you dare to compete with my people?"
