Chapter 123 The correct answer to ‘Lord Ye’s passion for dragons’
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wen Yantong stood by the door of Linglong Building holding the wrapped Snow Jade Lotus Bow.
She sniffed, the tip of her nose turned red in the cold.
Mu Yang stood on the other side of the door, with his head facing the wall, completely lost in thought.
Chi Jingxi and Cheng Xin were still in the store. It was said that this Snow Jade Lotus Bow was carved into shape by a master-craftsman. When it was finished, many people came and wanted to buy this bow, but they were all rejected.
That's why when Wen Yantong achieved a one-shot-win, it caused an uproar in the entire building. In the end, the shopkeeper invited out the owner and packed the Snow Jade Lotus Bow to Wen Yantong according to their agreement.
Chi Jingxi came out after wiping his shoes clean. When he saw Wen Yantong and Mu Yang standing divided on each side, he raised his eyebrows.
Cheng Xin walked to Mu Yang's side and grabbed his shoulders, "Forget it. Isn't it just a bow, there will be better ones."
Mu Yang raised his head slightly. Upon closer inspection, the corners of his eyes were still a little red, "I can't believe that Wen Yantong took it away..."
Wen Yantong was equally bewildered, "Don’t mention you, even I myself can’t believe it."
Chi Jingxi glanced at her, his interest suddenly piqued. "Were you acting during that previous martial arts class?"
Wen Yantong quickly shook her head, "That's my real level!"
Chi Jingxi said, "What about today?"
Wen Yantong said, "That’s all thanks to your help."
Chi Jingxi naturally didn't understand, but in fact Wen Yantong couldn't comprehend it either. No matter what, she couldn't figure out why she could have such miraculous luck after Chi Jingxi scolded her a few times.
Could it be because Chi Jingxi had a jinx mouth, or was it because she had an invisible BUG? Could it be that a golden finger was given to her after she transmigrated into this novel?
Wen Yantong almost burst into tears in joy. She never thought that there would be a day when she was given a golden finger.
But wasn’t this golden finger a bit strange?
Did she have to be scolded?
Wen Yantong silently glanced at Chi Jingxi. This person didn't like to scold others very much, but he liked to beat people up.
Chi Jingxi noticed her peeping, "What are you looking at?"
Wen Yantong chuckled, stretched her neck to look over there, "Is Young Master Mu still angry?"
Chi Jingxi lazily raised his eyelids and looked in the same direction, "Why would he be angry, he is the one who is lacking in skill."
Afterwards, he walked to Mu Yang's side and slapped him on the back of the head. Since they were a distance away, Wen Yantong did not hear what Chi Jingxi had said. However, Mu Yang widened his eyes in surprise at his words. Joy sprouted on his face as he hugged Chi Jingxi's arm.
Cheng Xin smiled helplessly, and at the same time pulled Mu Yang back, fearing that he would worsen Chi Jingxi's wound.
Fu Zixian took two steps forward and stood beside Wen Yantong. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know how to start. It just so happened that Wen Yantong's arm was a little tired at this time, so she stretched her shoulder.
So Fu Zixian said, "Give the bow to the guards. If you keep holding it, it may tire you out."
Wen Yantong looked around and didn't know which guard to give it to, so she pursed her lips and said, "I'd better hold it myself..."
"Hand it to me." Chi Jingxi stretched out his hand.
Wen Yantong was momentarily stunned by his sudden enthusiasm. When she handed over the bow box, Chi Jingxi took the bow box and passed it to the guard next to him, his movements were very casual.
The guard took the bow box, turned around, and walked away, towards an unknown direction.
Wen Yantong watched the guard go away in a daze. Soon, she heard Chi Jingxi say, "Yang’er, weren’t you clamoring to come out, where do you want to go now?"
Mu Yang was much more energetic now. He eagerly replied, "There are many people putting up sky lanterns at the east end of Banxia Street, let's go there and have a look."
Wen Yantong looked up and found that there were many sky lanterns floating in the sky. They looked like moving stars, slowly making their way into the distant universe.
Perhaps because of the wind, these sky lanterns flew very fast, and thousands of them were sent into the sky. Each lamp carries people's ordinary prayers, hoping it would be seen by the deities in the sky.
Everyone made their way to Banxia Street, following the huge flow of people. They would stop from time to time to observe the displays on the side of the road. After walking halfway through Banxia Street, the large lanterns on both sides disappeared, replaced by stalls selling miscellaneous goods and lantern puzzles. These lantern puzzles were a common game during the holidays; there would be a riddle written on each one, and the correct answer would be awarded with the lantern.
Mu Yang was very interested in the lantern puzzles. He casually picked a lantern and studied it for a long time but couldn't come up with the answer.
Wen Yantong squeezed over to take a look. There was a single idiom written on the lantern: Lord Ye’s passion for dragons.
The answer to the riddle was also a five word sentence.
Seeing that Mu Yang was so troubled, Wen Yantong decided to take it upon herself as she said, "This question is so simple, you still haven't figured it out?"
Mu Yang’s face was full of confusion, "You know the answer?"
"Let me analyze it with you." Wen Yantong pointed at the ‘Lord Ye’ and said, "Isn’t Lord Ye referring to a person surnamed Ye?"
Mu Yang nodded, "Yes."
"And the word 'passion', can’t it also mean love or fondness?"
Mu Yang responded again, "Yes."
Wen Yantong coughed twice, "The focus is on this dragon. This dragon does not refer to the dragon flying in the sky, but the dragon(龙) in Long-yang(龙阳)[1]."
"Ah?" Mu Yang was stunned.
"So the combination of these words means that Lord Ye has a Long-yang disposition and likes men." Wen Yantong continued, "Then the answer to this question should be: The addiction of Long-yang."
