Another tavern:
Several young men and women sat there.
The young men were handsome, and the young women were delicate and beautiful.
Some had loose, disheveled hair; some were bald; some chuckled foolishly; some had hollow eyes, like puppets.
They were students of Loulan Martial Academy.
This time, joining forces while the top students could not be bothered to act, they had finally snatched the assessment mission of escorting Daughter of Stonemason Xu and the betrothal gifts into the Gongyang Family for the wedding.
In their eyes, this mission was easy beyond belief.
Therefore, after accepting the mission, they rushed straight to Rose City at top speed, then decided to follow the rules and relax for a day.
Taking a day to relax after accepting a mission was also a tradition of Loulan Martial Academy.
Because competition within Loulan Martial Academy was too fierce, too stifling, too insane.
Even as children of top-tier aristocratic families, they did not dare slack off in the slightest.
Instead, they had to work even harder.
Assessment missions were difficult in the eyes of students from prefectural cities and state cities. Sometimes, enormous costs had to be paid to complete them.
However:
Loulan Martial Academy students treated assessment missions as vacations for play and relaxation.
The mission was difficult?
How difficult could it be?
They had absolute confidence that they could sweep away everything before them.
Even if they had to destroy aristocratic families in prefectural cities or even state cities, they felt it would be easy.
This time, escorting the Xu Family's wedding procession and fending off some possibly real, possibly fake minor state-city family felt even easier.
So... as was customary, they came to the tavern to indulge themselves.
Drinking!
Listening to music!
They even swayed their heads, strutted about, sang, and danced.
