Chapter 1409: Sky Lantern
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Hehua wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and nodded with a smile. “I’m just so happy.” It was clear that Jiang Yue was going to be with Xue Yan and would not leave this house. She would still stay in this house, but Hehua still had a feeling that she was going to marry her daughter off.
…
It was only when Xue Yan left Locust Village and no one at home looked at him like that that his back loosened. He secretly glanced at Jiang Yue. He admired Jiang Yue, for actually still being so calm now.
Without saying anything, he rode straight to town.
When they arrived at the town, they did not say anything. One of them rode to the South of the town, and the other rode to the North of the town.
Xue Yan had come to the North of the town because he knew that Jiang Yue had plans for the festival. The other house was where Jiang Yue had stayed in when they did experiments. He felt that Jiang Yue would probably use it, so he naturally couldn’t go there to prepare a surprise for Jiang Yue today. That big house was closer to the main shop, and all the children in his family lived there. It wasn’t good for him to prepare a surprise there either. Therefore, to prepare for today’s surprise, he bought a rather large house in the North of the town.
When he arrived at the large courtyard, he stopped the horse. A secret guard hurriedly came out of the courtyard, took the reins of the horse, and led the horse in through the side door.
Xue Yan entered through the main door.
Once he entered, he went straight to the hall of the courtyard.
The hall was filled with sky lanterns that he had personally made the past few days. Every room and hall was filled with sky lanterns.
On every lantern, he wrote personal messages for Jiang Yue.
It just so happened that the weather was good today. When these sky lanterns flew up, they looked impeccable.
Originally, he had planned to arrive at this courtyard house in the evening and ask the Cloud Guards and the Secret Guards to help him move these sky lanterns into the courtyard. However, because his family members had urged him and Jiang Yue to go out early in the day, he had arrived earlier than planned. Therefore, he decided to move them himself.
He moved the sky lanterns from the main hall, side hall, and various rooms out and placed them in the courtyard.
When he bought this house, he saw that the courtyard of this house was especially large and s.p.a.cious. It was just right for the sky lanterns to display themselves, so he bought it.
The courtyard was filled with sky lanterns, and the corridors were also filled with sky lanterns. He could imagine the spectacular scene of so many sky lanterns flying into the sky.
The sky was not completely dark yet. It was only in the evening, but the streets were already starting to be lively. Some people had begun to pray to the G.o.ds in their courtyards.
When the sky turned completely dark, the lanterns were lit and the people were alive!
At this time, Xue Yan was not in a hurry to put out the sky lanterns yet. Instead, he waited until the streets bustling with people before starting to put out the sky lanterns one by one.
The guards helped him hold the sky lantern so that it could rise into the air better.
Because of the help of the guards, the sky lanterns were all released pretty quickly. Xue Yan had yet to raise his head to look at the scene in the sky when a guard called out, “Hey, why are there sky lanterns over there too?”
Xue Yan looked in the direction that the guard was pointing at and saw that there were also countless sky lanterns rising in the South of the town. In the night, it was extremely dazzling.
Then, the sky lanterns on the North and South sides slowly approached and spread out. Not long after, the whole area above Peace Town was filled with sky lanterns.
