If the guests hunt one of the three spirit-antlered deer, they can get tens of millions of gold prizes. In the final analysis, this is just a gimmick played by wealthy sects like Rufeng Sect and Gu Yueye.

The Poetry Hall is condescending, with green tiles and flying rafts. Looking down from the hall, the hunting forest not far away is shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The guests arrived one after another and congratulated Nangong Liu. No matter who came, Nangong Liu politely returned the greetings one by one and invited him to take a seat. After half an hour of busy work, all the guests sat down and followed the Secretary. The chimes of the music pavilion rang, and the night banquet officially began.

"I don't know which guests the head of Nangong will let go to the forest garden to compete."

"It's not about drawing lots. Let me tell you, those who are drawn are all very lucky. Think about it, the one who hunts the spirit-antlered deer will receive a reward of tens of millions, and the others who do not hunt the deer can also be captured in the forest. Other spiritual beasts, or fairy fruits. Where can there be anything better in this world?"

While they were having a lively discussion, the palace door suddenly opened, and Nangong Si and Song Qiutong walked up to the balcony at the same time. The handsome man and the pretty girl, with golden and red weaves, walked hand in hand to the headmaster.

Nangong Liu stood up, nodded with a smile, and said loudly: "You distinguished guests come from all over the world, from all the major immortal sects and mansions. It is really a great honor for you to come to Rufeng Sect to attend the children's wedding ceremony despite your busy schedule."

The guests below all praised him: "The master is so polite."

"The young master and the young lady are handsome, talented and beautiful, they are truly a rare pair."

"Yeah yeah."

These flattering words were almost exactly the same as what the supporters said to me when I got married in my previous life. Mo Ran felt bored after hearing this, and subconsciously wandered around the crowd with his eyes, and soon found Ye Wangxi who was sitting next to Elder Shuanglin. .

Ye Wangxi lowered his eyes, still dressed simply, and was just eating the food in his bowl, never raising his head to look at Nangong Si.

His expression and behavior were all the same as before, even calmer than usual. Perhaps because he had been living a very hard life, such a person already knew that he was unable to fight for his life. Mo Ran looked at him and suddenly remembered that he liked a pagoda lantern sold in the night market when he was a child.

The lantern was very delicately made, with every eaves tile outlined, but the old artist demanded a high price, so although the lantern was good, it never sold. Of course, Mo Ran couldn't afford it, but almost every night, he would wait for the night market to open and run to the stall to look at it for a while. The shadows of the pagoda lights flowed, and the splendor was solemn, illuminating the child's dark eyes.

Until one day, a young man and woman came, all dressed in silk and satin. The girl took a fancy to the pagoda lantern at a glance. She just said she liked it like a coquettish person, and the man next to her paid for it. Lanterns are sold.

The pagoda was taken away. Mo Ran raised his head and watched the old artist take it down from the wooden shelf where it had been hung for a long time. He handed it to the girl with both hands. The swaying lights finally illuminated Mo Ran's longing eyes. The face, and then disappeared at the end of the night market street along with the pair of beautiful women.

Mo Ran felt uncomfortable at the time, but he was also obedient and calm.

He was the same as Ye Wangxi now. In fact, when they saw the pagoda lantern for the first time, they knew that such a luxurious thing was destined not to belong to them. In fact, every night when they were illuminated by the pagoda, they had rehearsed the situation of losing this light thousands of times in their hearts.

It's not about letting go and being relieved.

But from the very beginning, I knew clearly how it would end, so I never dared to pick it up.

"Come on, come on, the lot is drawn, the lot is drawn -" the old servant of the Confucian Feng Sect held a large bronze twig pattern, came to the throne with a smile on his face, held it over his head, and presented it to Nangong Liu, " Master, the auspicious time has come, please draw lots!"

"Okay! Come! Head Nangong is here to catch one!"

Nangong Liu said with a smile: "It's better to obey orders than to be respectful. Twenty-two lots will be drawn. The young heroes who are drawn must also be rewarded and participate in the night hunting. If anyone is not willing to go, then please go in advance. Say thank you, thank you so much!"

After waiting for a while, some girls from several small sects had low cultivation levels and were timid, so they asked their parents to go up and ask the head of Nangong to take their names out of the book in advance.

Xu Shuanglin glanced at Ye Wangxi and asked with a lazy smile: "Little Ye Zi, do you want to go and have fun? If you want to go, I will do something for you and open a secret door."

"I'm not going." Ye Wangxi said, "Father, please tell the leader to remove my name."

"How can that be done? If I win, I will get 10 million gold."

Ye Wangxi: "..."

Xu Shuanglin's temperament was far more tame than his adopted son. He thought for a while, then curled up a wilted smile and said, "Then if you don't want to go, then I will go."

"Father...you are already in your forties this year..."

"What's the matter? I look young. When I go and hunt down those three deer, I will get 30 million gold. If you don't take the windfall, the earth will destroy you and the sky will kill you."

Xu Shuanglin insisted on going his own way and didn't notice the frustration of his adopted son at all. He pulled up his shoes and went to find Nangong Liu with a smile. He whispered a few words next to Nangong Liu, and others would only think that he was going to take away Ye Wangxi's lottery. Who knew that he loved money as much as his life, and he wanted to get in and play with it.
