Chapter 91 - 73, Jianghu
Under the cover of night, the hues of Hongyi Lane were intensely vivid.
From one end of the alley to the other, lanterns were strung up in celebration, as if it were a wedding celebration each day and a dissipation of worries each night with drunken revelry, the whole building alive with beckoning red sleeves.
The Golden Workshop had made a name for itself by adorning its beams and columns in gold foil and gold powder amidst this vibrant red, its Qiannqiu Pavilion embellished with gems, dazzling and resplendent.
Such designs were commonplace in Jinling, but in Luocheng City, this workshop stood alone.
In a corner outside Hongyi Lane, Wu Yun slowly blended into the darkness, while Chen Ji quietly climbed the eaves with his hands, effortlessly jumping up to stand firmly atop.
With another light leap, he grasped the extending part of the roof corner, swinging himself onto the rooftop.
His right leg was injured and lacked strength, but thankfully with twenty-six stoves lit tonight, he could easily climb with the strength of his arms alone.
Chen Ji crouched down, quietly surveying the surroundings. Below, the crowd flowed like a river, and above, the gray hipped roofs were undulating like hills.
The ridges of the roofs were like mountain ridges, the side facing Hongyi Lane lit while the other side remained dark.
