Chapter 240

~4 min read 768 words

Zhang Lin was momentarily stunned, then looked toward Sheng Sheng Sheng Man.

Sheng Sheng Sheng Man only smiled without speaking, watching Zhang Lin set down the bell.

She then gave Zhang Lin a curtsy to express her thanks.

Seeing this, Zhang Lin suddenly felt this little Miss was rather pitiable.

Although her ears were good, being too good was also a kind of illness; this world was probably terrifying for her.

But Sheng Sheng Sheng Man's face was always smiling, showing no trace of any pain.

Sheng Sheng Sheng Man came to the window, tilted her body, and carefully listened to the conversation between Flower Monk and Lang Feng.

……

At this moment, in the Baoxiangde Sect on the second and third floors, many people were already seated on the small balconies.

But some of the Baoxiangde Sect doors were tightly shut.

It was obvious that some were willing to reveal their identities, while others valued their privacy more.

Zhang Lin also saw Old Lady Huo sitting on a Baoxiangde Sect balcony on the second floor.

Her position was neither too close nor too far from the stage; this Baoxiangde Sect was probably one she had reserved year-round.

Across from Old Lady Huo, a Baoxiangde Sect door opened, and Yang Lusi walked out from inside.

She was wearing a qipao today, which, paired with her East-meets-West face, made her all the more graceful and charming.

The moment Yang Lusi appeared, she sat down in the chair on the right.

Her sitting down caused many people in the Baoxiangde Sect on the second and third floors who had been talking to pause.

Under the influence of the second and third floors, the voices in the main hall all quieted.

Because everyone, reminded by the master of ceremonies, had flipped through the New Moon Restaurant's guidebook.

It specifically mentioned that seat on the right.

Unless one lit the Heaven Lamp, one could not sit there!

So the moment Yang Lusi sat down, it caused a sensation throughout the entire hall.

The master of ceremonies naturally noticed her situation as well, and immediately sent someone to inquire.

Yin Nanfeng glanced at the extraordinarily beautiful Yang Lusi.

She smiled and asked Zhang Lin: "So this is the lamp you gave up?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the famous Professor Yang."

"She's a specialist at Shanghai Medical University, specializing in virology."

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to have a connection with Professor Yang as well?"

Zhang Lin replied frankly: "You know she's Yang Lusi, but don't you know she's a descendant of Li Li Weisi?"

"I know Li Li Weisi's past in Xia Country; is it so strange that I know Yang Lusi?"

Yin Nanfeng raised an eyebrow and said no more.

Zhang Lin saying these things, she naturally knew.

But after seeing Yang Lusi's appearance, a trace of sourness welled up in Yin Nanfeng's heart.

That was why she had used words to test Zhang Lin.

At this moment, the attendant who had gone to inquire arrived beside Yang Lusi and whispered a few words in her ear.

Yang Lusi was seen shaking her head and saying a few words to the attendant.

The attendant immediately flushed with excitement, looking very thrilled, and nodded repeatedly!

When he returned downstairs and said a couple of words to the master of ceremonies, the master of ceremonies' face was also full of excitement.

The reactions of these two made everyone in the hall curious.

A good half of them were attending such an occasion for the first time.

They all widened their eyes, wanting to see what trick the New Moon Restaurant was going to play!

Before long, an attendant came out holding a very long bamboo pole with a hook at the tip.

Everyone saw something skewered on the hook.

It was a small lantern, only the size of a small watermelon, with a small candle inside; the cloth covering was dark cyan and very dim—clearly not meant for illumination!

The person Yang Lusi had brought with her took the lantern and hung it on the hanging clasp of the Baoxiangde Sect pillar.

In that instant, the Baoxiangde Sect on the second and third floors first stirred slightly, then erupted into an uproar.

And then burst into warm applause and cheers!

Meanwhile, the master of ceremonies below began calling out names.

"The current generation's chief of the Mountain-Moving lineage, lights the Heaven Lamp!"

The moment these words came out, many people on the second floor who had merely been smiling and applauding earlier directly stood up from their seats in excitement!
