"Really? Guan Nan and Beiyun are both near the Divine Capital. They say the land there breeds talent, so it's packed with experts. It seems this Lotus Lantern Dharma Assembly at the South Mansion will be quite lively."

The unaffiliated Martial Artists along the road began whispering among themselves, discussing the curious happenings within the South Mansion.
'Sealed Sects from Guan Nan and Beiyun were invited, too?'
Zhao Xuanqi's expression stirred slightly.
"Here, have one."

It was the same Lotus Fragrance Cake that had been for sale all over the streets.
