The literary gathering had begun!

Princess Yaoguang stepped out of the side hall, with Xia Chen and Lu Tong following behind her.

After leaving the side hall, Xia Chen led Xia Qian away from Yaoguang's group. He went to a corner of the main hall and stopped beside a Daoist.

"Daoist Xuanzhenzi, drinking alone is no fun. I'm not particularly interested in this gathering either. How about we drink together?"
