Hong Ye and the Zhao family members happened to be walking below the Star-picking Hall when they were drawn by the loud noise above their heads. Cheng Fang and the three ladies of the Zhao family, who were not far from them, naturally heard it too.
Zhao Long and Hong Gang, who were walking at the front and just about to have a small drink, were now standing still, looking up at the Star-picking Hall, their faces full of surprise and suspicion.
Under the Star-picking Hall, they weren't the only ones.
Today is the day of the sect's sacrificial ceremony. Many people, like the Zhao and Hong families, had just returned from the Sect Temple, or were preparing to go there to offer sacrifices, so there were at least several thousand people below the Star-picking Tower at this moment.
