Amidst the chaos, the day of the Cultural Gathering finally arrived.
At this time, all major inns in Ling'an City were already full, not only with the scholars participating in the gathering but also with bystanders here to enjoy the spectacle.
So, even before the sky brightened, the area before the specially constructed Cultural Gathering Pavilion was already crowded with people.
The fake Xu Ling'an, also known as Shi Chang, truly went to great lengths to amplify the prestige of this gathering.
This Pavilion was specially built for the Cultural Gathering, and its grandeur needs no further mention. Crucially, its location is quite prominent, situated on a vacant lot beside the City Lord's Mansion.
The main structure is a towering building a hundred meters tall, opulent and luxurious to the extreme, with several large Water Mirrors hanging in the plaza out front.
