Chapter 870 Happiness
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the top of the mountain, making the figures of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong extraordinarily slender. Silence spread between the two of them, as if it was part of the quiet scene. Gu Jiuchen's deep gaze always stayed on Ye Linglong, and he could feel the bitterness behind her smile, which was an indescribable complex emotion.
"Linglong," Gu Jiuchen finally broke the silence, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his tone, "This battle was thanks to everyone's concerted efforts. We should celebrate it well, what do you think?"
Ye Linglong was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant. Yes, they had just experienced a life and death battle, and now that they had won, they should celebrate and reward everyone for their hard work.
"Well, you are right," Ye Linglong raised a sincere smile, "We should hold a banquet and invite all righteous people to celebrate together."
Gu Jiuchen nodded, a hint of appreciation flashed in his deep eyes: "Okay, then it's settled. Let's settle on the Tianxian Sect, and let everyone feel the power of our Tianxian Sect.
Hospitality. "
"Yeah," Ye Linglong responded with a smile, "I'm going to find Mingyue, she's the best at organizing these things."
With that said, Ye Linglong turned around and walked in the direction of Mingyue. Looking at her brisk back, Gu Jiuchen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He knew that although Ye Linglong looked heartless on the surface, she was actually more delicate and sensitive deep down than anyone else.
"Linglong, wait for me!" Mingyue's voice came from a distance, and she was seen trotting all the way to Ye Linglong's side, with a bright smile on her face, "I heard that a banquet is going to be held, is it true? ?”
"That's right," Ye Linglong smiled and nodded, "Thanks to everyone's help, we were able to win this time, so I want to invite everyone to celebrate together."
"Great!" Mingyue clapped her hands excitedly, "Leave this matter to me, I guarantee it will be done properly!"
"That's all thanks to you, Mingyue," Ye Linglong said with a smile, "By the way, I also want to add a fireworks show to the banquet, what do you think?"
"Fireworks show?" Mingyue's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea! When the colorful fireworks bloom in the night sky, it will be very beautiful!"
Seeing Mingyue's excitement, Ye Linglong couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. She believes that this banquet will be very lively and will become an unforgettable memory in everyone's heart. The bright moon moved vigorously and resolutely, and the banquet was well prepared. She distributed invitations widely, inviting heads and disciples of various sects to come to the Tianxian Sect to participate in the grand event. As the news spread, people from all righteous sects were all excited and expressed their expectations.
As the leader of the righteous path, Master Xuanfeng was naturally the first to respond. He brought several of his proud disciples and carefully prepared congratulatory gifts to the Tianxian Sect early. I saw him with white hair and a childish face, and a strong spirit. He was holding an exquisite jade box in his hand. The box exuded faint spiritual energy fluctuations. It was obviously a rare treasure.
"Congratulations to the Tianxian Sect for achieving such a glorious victory. I have brought you a small gift, and I hope you will accept it." Master Xuanfeng handed the jade box to Gu Jiuchen, his tone full of admiration.
Gu Jiuchen nodded slightly, took the jade box, and said with a smile: "You are so polite, Master. It is already an honor for the Tianxian Sect that you can come to participate."
In addition to Master Xuanfeng, other righteous sects also sent people to congratulate him. For a time, there was a lot of traffic and excitement in front of the gate of Tianxian Sect Mountain. Disciples from all factions exchanged greetings with each other, exchanged battle experiences, and shared the joy of victory.
On the night of the banquet, the Tianxian Sect put up lanterns and colorful lights, and the lights were as bright as day. The huge square was filled with banquets, and there were all kinds of fine wines and delicacies, and the aroma was fragrant. Righteous people gathered together, chatting and laughing, drinking and celebrating the victory together.
Ming Yue dressed in gorgeous clothes, shuttled among the guests, arranging everything in order. She entertained every guest enthusiastically, always with a bright smile on her face, like a happy lark, adding a lot of joy to the banquet.
"Linglong, look, everyone had so much fun. Our banquet was such a success!" Mingyue came to Ye Linglong with a wine glass and said excitedly.
Ye Linglong smiled slightly and glanced at the lively crowd, but she felt slightly nervous in her heart. She knew that she had an important "performance" tonight. In order to add more color to the banquet, she specially learned a dance from Mingyue and prepared to perform at the banquet.
"Yes, everyone is very happy." Ye Linglong responded softly, glancing in Gu Jiuchen's direction casually. I saw him chatting and laughing with several heads, showing his royal demeanor in every move.
Sensing Ye Linglong's gaze, Gu Jiuchen turned his head slightly, his deep eyes met hers, and the corner of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc. That look seemed to say: "Don't be nervous, I will always look at you."
Ye Linglong's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and a blush crept onto her cheeks. She took a deep breath and encouraged herself secretly: Ye Linglong, come on!
Mingyue noticed Ye Linglong's nervousness, patted her hand gently, and encouraged: "Linglong, don't worry, you have been preparing for so long, you will definitely be able to do it."
Ye Linglong glanced at Mingyue gratefully, took a deep breath, and walked to the center of the square with elegant steps. Melodious music sounded, and she danced to the melody. Her figure is light and her dance is graceful, like a beautiful butterfly dancing among the flowers. Every rotation and every jump is full of agility and elegance.
Gu Jiuchen sat on the high platform, his eyes always following Ye Linglong's figure. He saw the confidence in her eyes and the smile on her face, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that Ye Linglong was no longer the little girl who had just entered the Tianxian Sect. She had grown into a confident and brave woman.
After the dance, thunderous applause rang out in the square. Ye Linglong bowed slightly and thanked everyone. She saw the admiration in Gu Jiuchen's eyes, and her heart was filled with joy. This applause was not only an affirmation of her dancing skills, but also a recognition of her efforts.
Mingyue walked to Ye Linglong and said with a smile: "I told you that you can do it! Look, everyone is applauding you!"
Ye Linglong smiled lightly and said: "Thank you for this. If it weren't for your encouragement, I wouldn't dare to perform on stage."
The two smiled at each other, and everything was self-evident.
As night fell, the banquet was coming to an end. Mingyue arranged for the disciples to set off fireworks in the center of the square.
With a loud bang, a huge golden firework bloomed in the night sky, lighting up half of the sky. Then, countless fireworks soared into the sky, embellishing the night sky with colorful colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all kinds of colors complement each other, beautiful beyond words.
Everyone looked up at the gorgeous fireworks, with happy smiles on their faces. At this moment, all the troubles and sorrows were thrown behind, leaving only pure happiness.
Gu Jiuchen walked to Ye Linglong, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and admired the beautiful fireworks together.
"It's so beautiful..." Ye Linglong exclaimed.
"Yes, it's beautiful." Gu Jiuchen echoed softly, but his eyes fell on Ye Linglong's side face, his eyes full of tenderness.
After the fireworks show ended, the guests also dispersed one after another. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong strolled in the moonlight, enjoying the rare quiet time.
"You are beautiful tonight." Gu Jiuchen suddenly said.
Ye Linglong was slightly startled, then her cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "Thank you."
The two fell into silence, but this silence was not awkward, but made people feel extremely warm and comfortable.
Suddenly, a pigeon flew from a distance and landed on Gu Jiuchen's shoulder.
Gu Jiuchen took off the letter box on the pigeon's feet, opened it, and his face suddenly became solemn.
"What's wrong?" Ye Linglong noticed Gu Jiuchen's strangeness and asked with concern.
Gu Jiuchen handed the letter to Ye Linglong and said in a deep voice, "Read it yourself."
Ye Linglong took the letter and read it carefully. There was not much content in the letter, but it surprised her. This letter from afar was actually related to Gu Jiuchen's life experience...
Ye Linglong read the letter word by word, and felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart, heavy. What was said in the letter was too incredible, but it revealed a convincing power that made her unable to easily reject it. She slowly raised her head and looked at Gu Jiuchen beside her, but saw that his face was normal, as if the content of the letter had no effect on him at all.
"Jiuchen, this..." Ye Linglong hesitated, not knowing how to start. What was said in the letter was contrary to everything Gu Jiuchen had always believed in. She was worried that he would be shaken or even collapse because of it.
