Chapter 620: The Deadly Technique Called Sincerity

Chapter 620: The Deadly Technique Called Sincerity

In just a few days, in a blink of an eye, it was time for the Literature Gathering to begin.

As night fell, a round moon hung high like a jade slab, and the stars shone brightly.

Everyone in the Imperial City was smiling.

Bright lanterns were hung in every household, expressing the joy of reunion and longing.

Colourful riddle lanterns adorned the streets, and everywhere, men racked their brains to impress the ladies and earn a smile.

It’s worth mentioning that this lantern festival was organised by the Star Seizing Tower, with a long street resembling a colourful river flowing towards the brightest point of lights.

At the end of this gathering of lights was the venue for the Literature Gathering – Flying Sky Courtyard.

Actually, Qin Feng was looking forward to the Literature Gathering.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, spending time with family and friends, drinking and singing, admiring the bright moon together, isn’t that wonderful?

Of course, the main reason is that Qin Feng has been wanting to perform a poem for a long time, the Mid-Autumn Water Tune Song, a must for transmigrators!

Usually, he couldn’t find a suitable opportunity, as writing a Mid-Autumn poem for no reason seemed to lack the aura of being illustrious in front of others.

But today, on a full moon night, it was especially suitable!

Just imagining the scene of everyone being stunned at the moment when the poem was written, Qin Feng felt extremely satisfied.

Walking along the long road, following the crowd to the end, the scenery suddenly became clear.

The Flying Sky Courtyard came into view, even Qin Feng was quite surprised.

Colourful lanterns fluttering, beautiful women dancing, the smell of delicious food and wine permeating the air.

Most importantly, the Flying Sky Courtyard was actually built in the air, at least three zhang above the ground.

But after careful observation, Qin Feng also understands its structure. It’s like a bridge spanning a river, with triangular structures at the fixed points that support this pavilion.

As everyone knows, the triangular structure is the most stable in every sense...

To show off his knowledge in front of his wife, Qin Feng talked about this discovery. Originally, he hoped to receive admiration from the beauty, but when he looked back, everyone’s faces... why do they look so unpleasant?

“Why do you all look like this, could it be that you don’t like this Literature Gathering?” Qin Feng asked curiously.

Lan Ningshuang, who had carefully dressed up, spoke coldly first, “How could it be, young master? It’s just that there are too many people, and we’re not quite used to it.”

She hadn’t expected to meet her imperial brother so soon. If she had known that Qin Feng would bring so many people, she wouldn’t have come to this literature gathering... Anya regretted it deeply.

Outside the palace, the two of them often pretended to be strangers and avoided speaking to each other.

In order to prevent his younger sister from being snatched away by Qin Feng, the Prince welcomed everyone to enter the Flying Sky Courtyard while dragging Qin Feng along.

His assessment of Qin Feng as a lecherous person was not only based on the comments made by the courtesans earlier, but also on the current situation – who would bring so many women to a literary gathering to appreciate the moon?

Qin Feng couldn’t understand why Brother Jinwen was so enthusiastic. He turned to the Peaceful Academy students and said, “You don’t have to be so reserved. Feel free to explore around; you can enjoy the fine wine and delicacies here to your heart’s content.”

The Crown Prince replied, “Indeed, you may do as you please.”

Liu Jianli and the other three watched as the two walked further and further away, exchanging glances and falling into silence.

They all wanted to follow, to find a chance to be alone with Qin Feng, but none of them wanted to make the first move, lest it be too obvious to the other three.

Until Anya spoke up, almost as if to herself, “Every year at the Literature Gathering, there are riddle-solving and couplet-matching games. I’ve gotten tired of the riddles over the years and thought there was nothing new, so let’s try the couplets this year.”

With that, she stepped onto the stairs, although the direction she was going was clearly the same as Qin Feng’s departure.

Seeing this, the others didn’t say much and followed closely behind.

Anya stopped when she noticed, “What are you all doing?”

“This is my first time at the Literature Gathering and I’m not familiar with this place. I originally wanted to follow the Young Master to see and learn, but he left on his own. So all I can do is accompany you and wander around as I please,” Lan Ningshuang said with a smile.

Even though she said that, deep inside, she was thinking, ‘How can I let you find Young Master without my knowledge?’

Cang Feilan casually added, “I am also quite interested in couplets. Why not go together?”

Hearing their words, Anya’s eyelids twitched slightly. She took a deep breath and smiled, “Very well, then follow me.”

With that, she looked at Liu Jianli and asked quietly, “What about you? Would you like to join us?”

Liu Jianli shook her head and parted her lips slightly, “I came to the Literature Gathering to be with my husband. I’m going to find him. You can all do as you please.”

With that, she walked past the three of them and headed in the direction Qin Feng had left.

Cang Feilan and the others stood frozen.

Little did they know, there was a deadly technique in the world called Sincerity...
