After that, Shi Ling stood up and counted the time. It was almost dark now, he had an appointment with Lin Yue to go to the East Lake to enjoy the scenery, so he couldn't be late.

After cleaning up the cave, Shi Ling went to take a bath. After changing into a clean and tidy set of clothes, he went out.

Shi Ling went to Garden Pavilion to look for Lin Yue. Lin Yue was dressed very beautifully today, with a jade-green dream dress that perfectly outlined her devilish body, some jewelry hung from her waist, and a light golden hairpin was stuck in her bun. She wore a light makeup on her face, giving off a kind of soul-stirring beauty.

Shi Ling was stunned when he saw Lin Yue. However, Lin Yue smiled and held Shi Ling's hand as they walked outside. She said, "Do you know what day it is today?"

Hearing that, Shi Ling shook his head in shock and said, "What day is it?"

Lin Yue chuckled again, but she didn't answer Shi Ling's question. Instead, she brought Shi Ling towards the East Lake.

Soon, Shi Ling realized that there were a lot of people visiting the East Lake to admire the scenery. Most of them seemed to be a couple, and Shi Ling and Lin Yue naturally attracted a lot of attention as they walked together.

At this moment, Shi Ling suddenly said: "I know, today is the Spring Festival, right?"

Lin Yue looked at Shi Ling with a hint of bitterness in her eyes. Why did this blockhead only remember now?

Lin Yue nodded slightly and said, "Every year at this time, many dao companions would come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the East Lake."

With that, Lin Yue brought Shi Ling to the East Lake. Looking at the huge lake, there were countless branches scattered outwards. There were hundreds of lights around the lake, brightening up the originally dark sky.

As Shi Ling and Lin Yue walked along the busy path, they felt as if they had entered the streets of the mortal world. Afterwards, Lin Yue pulled Shi Ling to the lakeside and they both looked into the lake.

Because of the special bodies of these fish, it caused them to shine at night. It was as if they were fireflies in the forest, and they were very beautiful. On the lake, there would occasionally be boats swimming, and on the shore, there were even a couple of lovers laying lotus lights in the water.

Shi Ling looked at the glowing fish and said: "This is quite a good scenery, but to be honest, in the current cultivation world, there are very few sects that would set up a festival to celebrate like Spirit Sword Sect, right?"

Lin Yue nodded her head as her beautiful eyes swept over the fish in the lake. She crouched down and gently splashed the water on the surface of the lake. Her movements were so gentle that everyone who was watching her was stunned.

At this moment, Shi Ling also squatted down. He heard Lin Yue say, "The main reason why the Day of the Red Peak is a special festival in Spirit Sword Sect is because the second generation Patriarch set up it in memory of his dao companion who once died."

Shi Ling didn't say anything. He just sat quietly by the side. It wasn't that Shi Ling was deliberately ignoring Lin Yue, it was just that Shi Ling didn't know what to say when he heard Lin Yue's words.

Lin Yue didn't say anything else at this moment. Her beautiful eyes looked at the water lamp in the lake, which rippled along with the waves. Then she looked at Shi Ling, who was sitting beside her.

Her smile seemed to have an infectious effect, causing Shi Ling, who sat beside her, to also laugh, even though he didn't know what he was laughing about at all.

At this time, a phoenix cry resounded across the East Lake's shore. Everyone turned their heads when they heard the cry and saw a golden young phoenix circling in the sky before landing on a white jade gold palanquin.

There were many bodyguards beside the palanquin. In just a short time, it had ruined the bustling scene and attracted a lot of unfriendly gazes. If it wasn't for the identity of the other party, people would have started cursing at him.

Shi Ling and Lin Yue immediately recognized who the sedan chair was when they saw it. Shi Ling couldn't help but mutter, "Yue Qingcheng also came to celebrate the Spring Festival. That's quite strange."

In Shi Ling's eyes, Yue Qingcheng was a very cold girl. Since she had no friends by her side, she should be very disgusted by the bustling scene. But today, she personally came here for the first time and on the day of the Spring Festival, it was time to think about it.

Lin Yue suddenly said, "I heard that it's Lady Princess' birthday, that's why she came here, right?"

Shi Ling couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Maybe."

With that, Shi Ling pulled Lin Yue away and said, "She's playing with her. I'll go with us. Don't bother with her."

Lin Yue felt a little uncomfortable from Shi Ling's action of holding hands. Her small face couldn't help but blush slightly, and she immediately let Shi Ling lead the way.

"..."

In the sedan chair, Yue Qingcheng leaned against a beauty's bed. Her jade wall gently propped up her head as her bright yet emotionless eyes gazed through the translucent window screen at the scenery outside. Looking at the bustling scene before her, there was no expression on her face.

There was a person standing beside Yue Qingcheng, and that person was a very handsome man. At this moment, he was dressed in white and gave him a refined feeling, and a faint smile hung at the corner of his mouth. If there was an ordinary girl here, she would definitely be captivated by his gentle smile.

However, Yue Qingcheng didn't even look at him, because her gaze had always been fixed outside the window. She calmly said: "Today is the Spring Festival of Spirit Sword Sect?"

Mo Chen nodded calmly and said, "Yes, in the entire cultivation world of the Nine Prefectures, only Spirit Sword Sect would set up such a festival. It is said that every year, there is a wondrous scene at the East Lake."

Yue Qingcheng said in a lukewarm tone, "Is this the reason why you brought me here?"

At this time, Mo Chen smiled and said, "I also prepared a gift for your highness, coincidentally, only the East Lake can display it to the princess. Therefore, I boldly chose this place."

Obviously, she also wanted to see what tricks Mo Chen would pull. At the same time, she was also curious about whether this Eastern Lake scenery was really as rarely seen in the mortal world as the Spirit Sword Sect disciples said.

However, just as Yue Qingcheng was still pondering, she saw a familiar figure at the shore of the East Flower Region.

Yue Qingcheng gently lifted the curtain and looked over. She saw Shi Ling leading a beautiful girl to swim around the Donghu Lake. From the looks of it, they were probably a couple.

At this moment, Yue Qingcheng's originally calm and tranquil eyes actually rippled slightly. She couldn't help but think back to the time when she was on a cliff and wanted to jump off the cliff to commit suicide, but was persuaded by that man's words and actions. She couldn't help but recall Shi Ling's words to her.

"If you don't mind my lowly birth, I won't care about your background."
