🌺🍀Chapter 25 : Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet and Battling Lanterns (Part 1)

The three of them watch him leave and Xie Lian spoke again. "[Name], the Lord Rain Master you spoke earlier, was it Rain Master Huang?"

"That's right. The Rain Master hasn't change in centuries." You replied. "What, someone you know? An acquaintance?" Shi Qingxuan asked. Xie Lian shook his head and said softly, "Although I haven't had the honour to meet Rain Master, I owe a debt and I am profoundly grateful."

Shi Qingxuan smiled. "That's true. Although there aren't many who are acquainted with the Rain Master, those who have never spoken a bad word. Oh, except Pei Ming."

"Is there a dispute between them?" Xie Lian asked.

"Naturally. Those who have hung around the Upper Court for so long all have some sort of dispute or deceit. Let me tell you, Rain Master is a shadow in Pei Ming's heart." You said.

"Shadow?..." Xie Lian wondered he suddenly remembers an incredibly important individual. He called out, "Lang Ying! That Child!"

Shi Qingxuan piped up. "Are you talking about the child you brought back up from Paradise Manor? The Heavenly Emperor has seen him, and he's currently at General [Name]'s place." He said.

"I'll bring him down for you when I get the chance." You said.

"That'd be too much trouble, how about I go up instead?" Xie Lian replied.

Shi Qingxuan nodded in delight. "Same difference. Coincidentally, it'll be Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet soon. It's a one-year event, you shouldn't miss it! Especially you General [Name]! Not once in many thousand years you never attended this event!" Shi Qingxuan jabbed her finger against your chest, catching you off guard.

"This year my brother will come back too! I'll introduce you then." She said, her tone was full of pride for her own elder brother. Xie Lian couldn't help but smile, thinking. "Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, huh..."

You made a deep sigh, thinking about the festival. Every year for the Mid-Autumn Festival all heaven would hold a Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet to celebrate and watch the people in mortal realm as entertainment. There was also a very important "game" during the banquet called, "The Battle of the Lanterns". The thought of this kind of game, you would hear on everyone's lips was "it's only a game", "no need to take it seriously" and "it's just a game" like... seriously? A game? Mostly all of them secretly held their breath, hoping their devotees would fight for them.

If there really was one who didn't fight, I'd be only You and Jun Wu. The only officials who took this game for a game. The funniest part is even you took this game for a game, you always won the top 1 in the game even you never participated and all the heavenly officials assumed it was the power of your fortune and luck!

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie Lian drew an array outside the Puqi Shrine. [Name] locked the door from the outside, Rouye was left behind to keep Qi Rong bound and reported to the Heavenly Court.

As soon as they have arrived, You could see streets, corridors, and terraces were filled with increased body guards, probably appointed after Hua Cheng's intrusion last time. The Banquet was set under the moon, in open air, surrounded by elegant fragrances, clouds of prosperity, and blossoms flurried In the air like snow, giving way both the space for entertainment and moon watching.
