May the gods from the upper realm protect Xia Xiaoxian and bring her a happy life.

Then he squatted down, put the lotus lantern into the river, and watched the lantern float eastward with the water.

The women by the river looked at Shen Yuyao's face with unconcealable envy in their eyes.

When Shen Yuyao stood up, she saw two figures pointing at her not far away.

When she tried to concentrate and see clearly, the figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Mother, Xiaoxian is hungry."

Xia Xiaoxian raised her head with a look of grievance, which made Shen Yuyao feel distressed.

"Okay, mother will take Xiaoxian to the restaurant."

[Since my mother wants to investigate the strange happenings in Xijing, the restaurant is crowded and would be a great place to gather information.]

I see!

"Okay, mother will take you to the restaurant for dinner." Shen Yuyao said with a smile.

Shen Yuyao was wondering why Xia Xiaoxian was getting hungry so quickly before noon.

"Good girl, please, give me some food..."

"Please, give me some copper coins. I haven't eaten for several days..."

As soon as Shen Yuyao turned around, she was blocked by two beggars, one tall and one short.

Beg her for food!

Shen Yuyao took out some change from her bosom and was about to hand it to the two beggars.

The tall beggar's expression suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand and tried to pull Shen Yuyao's sleeve, shouting, "It's so similar!"

Shen Yuyao turned her head sharply and saw the hand reaching out. Her eyes almost popped out of her head in shock.

The meridians on this hand are bulging and the joints are thick, which shows that the hand has practiced martial arts. There is also a tree-shaped tattoo on the inside of the wrist!

Shen Yuyao's heart trembled.

Only then did he look at the beggar carefully.

His steps were steady and the meridians on his forehead were bulging. He was a master who practiced both internal and external skills.
