Chapter 331 Prelude
Not long after Meng Ning left, the door of Qiandeng's room was pushed open again.
Fen Dao Ke, Xiang Yu Yin and Hei Zhu walked in one after another, the moonlight stretching their shadows very long.
"Miss Qiandeng, how have you considered it?"
Fen Dao Ke stood in front of the window, his back to Qian Deng, and spoke in a calm tone.
Qian Deng sneered: "Consider it? You killed so many of my clones, where else can I go? If I don't cooperate with you, can I still fly into the sky?"
"That's true."
Xiang Yuyin gently waved the folding fan in her hand.
"In that case, let's get ready. Zhang Yingcai has agreed to marry into the Lu family, and the wedding is imminent. The Thousand Lantern Festival is the best time."
Heizhu remained silent, just looking around the room vigilantly.
Fen Dao Ke suddenly turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "What is your relationship with the person who just left?"
"Oh, you mean him."
Qiandeng was playing with the comb in his hand absentmindedly.
"He was born in the Three True Sect, and now he has joined the Baotian Academy. What a pity, that kid has quite a talent, it would be great if he could continue to stay in the Three True Sect and annoy you Nine Realms Sect."
"He already suspects you?"
Fen Dao Ke narrowed his eyes, "Do you want me to take care of him for you?"
Qian Deng chuckled: "No need, with his ability, he can't even guess what I am thinking."
"Take care of yourself."
Fen Dao Ke said this and left with the two of them.
Not long after the door was closed, Lu Shengxiong rushed in, "My dear sister, Zhang Yingcai is coming to propose marriage today, you have to accompany me to check it out!"
"Of course I want to go."
Qiandeng's lips curled up into a meaningful smile, and he thought secretly in his heart.
I've already tried him for you.
Inside the Lu Mansion, red lanterns were hung high, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.
Zhang Yingcai, dressed in a brocade robe, knelt in front of the hall with elegance and kowtowed to Lu Dahai.
"My son-in-law, Zhang Yingcai, has come to ask to marry your granddaughter, Lu Shengxiong."
Lu Dahai stroked his beard and smiled: "Well, well, Yingcai is indeed a good young man."
Seeing that the proposal was going smoothly, Zhang Yingcai suddenly spoke.
"But I have a small request, I hope my father-in-law will agree to it."
"But it doesn't matter."
Lu Dahai was in a good mood and waved his hand, appearing particularly generous.
"I also want to take a concubine this time, her name is Du Xiaoping..."
As soon as these words came out, Qian Deng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly narrowed his eyes and dug his fingernails deep into his palms.
She suppressed the violence in her heart and still had a blessing smile on her face.
This bitch, who said that she wished everyone in the world could be equal, turned around and wanted to take a concubine.
Kill!
After the guests left, Qiandeng found Xiang Yuyin and spoke in a cold voice.
"I agree to your conditions. I will fully cooperate."
There was a crazy light in her eyes, as if she wanted to tear the whole world apart.
As the night deepened, a waning moon hung in the sky, as if coldly watching the shocking storm that was about to unfold...
Soon, the Thousand Lantern Festival is coming.
The city of Yangzhou is decorated with lights and filled with a festive atmosphere.
In front of the Lu Mansion, twelve pairs of bronze lions stood majestically, and the vermilion lacquered gate was open to welcome the endless stream of guests.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu! Congratulations, Mr. Lu!"
"Haha, please come in, please come in!"
Lu Dahai stood at the door, greeting the guests with a smile on his face.
Important officials from the six ministries of the Great Yan court, provincial governors from the Jiangnan region, and wealthy businessmen from the city of Yangzhou all arrived at the event, with a constant stream of carriages and horses.
The mansion was covered with red carpets and large red lanterns were hung everywhere, creating an atmosphere of joy.
"I heard that during this Thousand Lantern Festival, the Lu family will not only hold a wedding, but also a grand banquet!"
"That's right, all the dignitaries from the entire Yangzhou city are here."
At the same time, there was singing and dancing in the Shili Waterside area.
All the brothels were decorated with lights and the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras were everywhere.
"Everyone, the annual Dance God Election is about to begin. Please take your seats!"
On the waterside pavilion, beauties of all kinds competed to perform. The music was melodious, and the singing was graceful, making the place very lively.
The time has come, Meng Ning knows, it's time for Qianqiu to leave.
He was extremely anxious and quickly came to the heaven and earth.
"Miss Qiandeng? She's already gone out."
The little maid replied.
"What?!! Qian Deng left?"
Meng Ning frowned, feeling ominous, and turned away.
He searched everywhere in Yangzhou City and finally found Qiandeng at the Shili Waterside Pavilion.
She was seen dancing on the stage in a red dress, with graceful movements that attracted countless eyes.
Beside her, Fen Dao Ke and several other masters of the Nine Realms Sect were guarding her with a fierce look in their eyes.
"Damn it!"
Meng Ning clenched his fists, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He walked forward quickly, but saw Qiandeng's eyes swept over him indifferently, as if they had never met before.
"Thousand Lights!"
Meng Ning shouted in a low voice.
Qiandeng ignored her and continued her dance.
Xiang Yuyin sneered and stood in front of Meng Ning: "Young Master Meng Ning, please respect yourself."
Meng Ning felt a chill in his heart.
He never expected that Qian Deng would betray him at this critical moment.
Is she really willing to become a tool of the Nine Realms Gate and watch the people in the city suffer?
On the other side, inside the Lu Mansion.
"Sir! Something bad has happened!"
A yamen runner rushed into the Lu Mansion in a panic, interrupting the guests' toasting. His forehead was covered in cold sweat and his face was as pale as paper.
The county magistrate put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned and asked: "Why are you so panicked?"
"A large number of undead corpses appeared outside the city... and are rushing into the city!"
The bailiff's voice trembled.
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. The guests looked at each other and whispered.
"What? Undead?"
"What should I do?"
"Could such a grand festival be a tragedy?"
The county magistrate's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he quickly turned to Lu Dahai: "Master Lu, you are the agent of Baotianyuan in Yangzhou, this matter..."
Lu Dahai frowned, put down his wine glass, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, everyone. I will gather those who seek the law to go outside the city to remove the corpse."
He walked quickly to the back hall and called the butler: "Immediately notify all seekers of the law in the city to rush out of the city immediately!"
The butler took the order and left, while Lu Dahai took advantage of the chaos and quietly slipped out from the back door.
He wrapped his cloak tightly and hurried towards Po Lin Monastery.
"Master Duobao, the situation is urgent. Please save the people of Yangzhou!"
At the same time, the singing and dancing on the Shili Waterside Pavilion continued. Qiandeng's dancing became more and more enchanting, attracting everyone's attention.
Meng Ning stood in the crowd, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"Qian Deng, you stinky woman, how dare you lie to me!"
"You want to compete for beauty, huh? Fine, fine. There are many masters protecting you. I can't force my way in, but if that's the case, I'll use ordinary methods!"
"This year, I will participate in the Yangzhou City Dance God Election."
The next moment, Meng Ning left the scene and came to a secret place to travel through time!
He found the dough maker Master Liu and made a request.
"Master Liu, please pinch my face. As for appearance? Please do your best. I want you to pinch me into the most beautiful woman in my life!"
Dance God Election?
Haha, I want you to become my stage!
...
In the chaos, Lu Dahai had already arrived at the Baolian Monastery. The temple door was closed, and he knocked on the door knocker anxiously.
"Master Duobao! I am Lu Dahai, begging for an audience! Begging for an audience!!!"
