Chapter 784: Chapter 782: Fifth Brother, Why Is Your Face Red?_1
“Cough, cough, is that for real?”
Before the words had faded, there was a series of coughs inside the tent, as the young men were all shocked by the explosive gossip, their little hearts trembling.
“Hehe, I’m too young to be selected.”
Lin Yixuan hugged Baoya and enjoyed the show, grinning from ear to ear.
“I’m only thirteen, so it’s none of my business.”
Lin Jinpeng, realizing the situation, grinned stupidly as well.
...
“I’m fourteen.”
Feng Yi patted his chest and laughed with relief.
“I’m also fourteen.”
Wang Meng straightened his back, not caring at all.
“You’re in danger.”
Feng Yi gave him a pitying look: “With a head like yours, some people would believe you’re twenty.”
“Hahaha.”
The group of young men laughed heartily along, holding their stomachs.
“Brother Long and Little Medicine Fool are the ones who are really in danger.”
Wang Meng wasn’t happy and retorted stubbornly: “They both have the right age and height, and are more attractive than me. If someone is chosen, it would definitely be the two of them.”
“Cough, cough.”
Mo Canglan and Lin Jinlong, who had been innocently caught in the crossfire, couldn’t help covering their mouths and coughing incessantly.
“Brothers, have you all packed up yet?”
Lin Qingluo’s crisp and pleasant voice came from outside the tent: “The gala is about to begin. Commander Xu is waiting for us outside the camp. It’s not good to keep him waiting for long.”
“We’re ready.”
Lin Jinlong seized the opportunity to lift the curtain and exit the tent to ease the awkwardness.
“Fifth Brother, why is your face red?”
Lin Qingluo had already heard about the courtship gathering from Little Kingfisher and, under the bright moonlight, she teasingly looked at him.
“The weather was too hot, and it was stuffy inside the tent.”
Lin Jinlong fanned himself with his hand, avoiding her gaze.
“Sister, are we going to ride horses?”
The others came out one after another, and Lin Yixuan, holding Baoya with a smile, approached Qingluo.
“We’ll ride.”
Lin Qingluo smiled and nodded: “The Naiman Tribe is not far from the camp. It will only take half an incense stick’s time to get there by horse.”
“Great, let’s go ride the horses.”
Lin Yixuan, free of worries, happily ran towards the stables.
Feng Yi and the others quickly followed.”
“Um, Master, can I not go?”
Mo Canglan was the last one to come out of the tent, the tips of his ears slightly red.
“Why? The bonfire party is a lot of fun.”
Lin Qingluo was puzzled: “I heard there’ll be archery and wrestling competitions. It’s sure to be lively.”
“After riding horses for two days straight, my legs are a bit sore. I can’t walk properly.”
Mo Canglan messed with his hair, stuttering in explanation, his face turning bright red.
Lin Qingluo was very considerate: “There’s an excellent medicinal ointment that you can apply before bed. It’ll be fine overnight and won’t interfere with horse riding the next day.”
“Cough, cough.”
Mo Canglan almost choked on his own saliva.”
“If he doesn’t want to go, let him stay.”
Lin Jinlong empathized and understood his feelings.”
If it weren’t for his desire to protect his sister, he wouldn’t want to go either.”
“Brother Lan, you really won’t go?”
Lin Qingluo seemed slightly disappointed: “It’s a rare opportunity to relax. It’s a shame.”
“I won’t go.”
Mo Canglan had a sudden idea and found himself a perfect excuse: “I’ll stay behind and sort out the goods, categorize the items we bought in Loulan City and rearrange them.”
“Alright.”
Lin Qingluo smiled helplessly and stopped trying to persuade him: “Since Brother Lan is insistent, you’ll stay in the camp tonight. Contact us if anything comes up.”
“Alright.”
Mo Canglan let out a quiet sigh of relief.
**
The courtship gathering was a grand event for the unmarried young men and women of the Grasslands.”
Aruhan, the beautiful jewel of the Grasslands and daughter of the Naiman Tribe’s chieftain, held the courtship gathering, which was particularly grand.
The attending unmarried youths were dressed in their best attire, looking radiant.”
As night fell, a crescent moon hung in the sky, surrounded by scattered stars.”
