The lively Lantern Festival continued until midnight before gradually coming to an end.
After the festival ended, Hua Qianwu paid a visit to the City Lord's Mansion.
At the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Gangquan stood at the door, greeting Hua Qianwu with a beaming smile as she arrived.
Before long, Hua Qianwu, followed by a group of attendants, reached the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
Upon seeing her, Yuan Gangquan's heartbeat instantly quickened. Even though he had numerous beautiful wives and concubines, in comparison to Hua Qianwu before him, they all seemed to pale significantly.
"Miss Hua's personal visit to Carefree City is such a pity I couldn't welcome you myself," he said.
Hua Qianwu dismissed the matter, "It's alright. My arrival was abrupt; it's normal that you weren't prepared."
"Then... may I boldly ask if you've come to Carefree City simply to hold a Lantern Festival?"
