"Do all the people from the Underworld have to come down to undergo tribulations?" Bai Tuantuan asked curiously. "Why is that?"

"The Way of Heaven is boring."

Ning Nanxiao said calmly

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled in the sky. Ning Nanxiao coughed twice and said softly, "See? You can't say anything bad about it, or you'll throw a tantrum. Isn't that like a child?"

Bai Tuantuan chuckled to herself, then said, "Don't say anything more, or I'll strike you with lightning."

Ning Nanxiao smiled and said, "Let's go."

The two traveled for several days before finally arriving at the city of Jinzhou.

"Once we get to Jinzhou, we should be able to see Yuanyuan." Bai Tuantuan thought of the grievances Liu Yuanyuan suffered because of her cousin, and wondered how her relationship with her parents was now.

The two dismounted and led their horses inside.

"Uncle Chengzu is really amazing. There were no traces along the way."

Bai Tuantuan looked at the vendors on both sides: "Although Jinzhou is not a big town, it is very lively."

Soon, the two arrived at Erdong Restaurant.

Just as Mu Yangzhi was about to leave, he saw the two of them and shouted loudly. He then rushed towards Ning Nanxiao, crying, "Waaah, brother, you're back! I missed you so much!"

Bai Tuantuan: ……

Bai Han and Chen Luo also rushed out quickly, hugging Bai Tuantuan and asking her how she was doing.

For a time, Erdong Restaurant was exceptionally lively.

In the side room, Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao ate while answering questions from their elders, naturally avoiding the important points.

Although the two spoke simply, Bai Han and the others knew that the two children had suffered.

After finishing her meal, Bai Tuantuan wiped her mouth and looked at the Emperor, saying, "On our way back, we ran into Cui'er and her father. Your Majesty, I saved them. Don't worry, they won't go looking for the Third Prince anymore. They'll definitely stay far away."

The Emperor sighed softly and looked at Bai Tuantuan: "You little rascal, you're still too soft-hearted."

"You're going against me, and you even said it out loud. Aren't you afraid I'll blame you?"

"Don't be afraid!" Bai Tuantuan said with a smile, "The Emperor is a wise ruler!"

"You little rascal!"

The Emperor was utterly helpless: "Alright, since it's already done, then so be it."

"Your Majesty, have you found anything fun to do in Jinzhou? Or anything interesting to do?" Bai Tuantuan approached the Emperor with a smile and said, "Everyone says that the wine in Jinzhou is exceptionally delicious. Your Majesty, please take me there!"

"Nonsense!" Bai Han glared at Bai Tuantuan. "What are you, a girl, doing drinking?"

Bai Tuantuan shrank behind the Emperor, put her hands together, and said to the Emperor in a coquettish tone, "Uncle Emperor, please take me with you. You see, my grandfather and maternal grandfather definitely won't listen to me, but they won't dare to argue with you."

The Emperor laughed loudly: "What, are you using me as a shield? Alright, I wouldn't dare go against your two grandfathers."

Bai Tuantuan pouted: "Uncle Huang is so annoying!"

The group chatted and talked, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.

By the time Bai Tuantuan had rested, it was already evening.

The night market in Jinzhou is also very lively. As soon as I opened the door, I saw the Ningnan Xiao (a type of vertical bamboo flute) at the entrance.

"babble?"

Bai Tuantuan tilted her head: "Is something wrong?"

"Shall we go out for a walk?"

Bai Tuantuan smiled and said, "Okay!"

The two naturally held hands and walked out.

“I was just about to come find you. Come on, come on, there’s a play going on outside, let’s…” Mu Yangzhi’s eyes fell on the two’s intertwined hands, and he was instantly stunned.

The next second he yelled, "Dad! Dad! Something's wrong! The cabbage's gone! The cabbage's gone!"

"Grandpa Bai! Grandpa Chen! Uncle Chengzu!"

"No, what do you mean Uncle Chengzu! Uncle Chengzu, look at your good son!"

So, the two who originally wanted to go out and have fun were forced to sit down by their elders.

Chen Luo was so angry that he glared and yelled, "Separate them!"

Bai Tuantuan quickly let go of his hand, and Ning Nanxiao had no choice but to look at Ning Chengzhu.

Ning Chengzhu's smile never stopped: "Hahaha, Uncle Chen, don't worry, hahaha, he's just a young man! It's normal! Uncle Chen, don't worry, if Nan Xiao dares to bully Tuantuan in the future, I will definitely teach him a lesson for you!"

Chen Luo glared at Ning Chengzhu, then looked at Ning Nanxiao and said, "Tell me, what's going on between you two?"

"Grandpa Chen, I love Tuantuan."

“Grandfather, I also like Ning Nanxiao, so…” Bai Tuantuan’s face was flushed, but her eyes were bright and sparkling.

The Emperor and Eunuch Cai watched the show from the side.

Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao recounted the events, and upon hearing this, Eunuch Cai couldn't help but exclaim, "The princess and the prince are a perfect match!"

"This old servant still remembers how handsome the princess and the prince were when they were little. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. If they had each found someone else, this old servant would have been heartbroken. This is just right, just right!"

The Emperor glanced at the excited Eunuch Cai and laughed, "Just wait and see. Tuan Tuan's uncles are not so easy to deal with. Nan Xiao will have a hard time after he returns to the capital."

"Your Majesty, why do you seem so pleased? Aren't you worried that the Crown Prince won't be able to get past the Chen and Bai families?"

The Emperor shifted to a more comfortable position: "What are you worried about? I'm just waiting for Nanxiao to come to me for the imperial decree to grant us marriage. As for the Bai and Chen families, they're not unreasonable. Let's just treat it as a bit of fun."

Grandpa Cai also laughed.

However, Ning Nanxiao was forced by Chen Luo to the point that sweat beaded on his forehead: "Grandpa Chen, don't worry, I, Ning Nanxiao, will only love Tuantuan. If I ever let him down, you may punish me as you see fit!"

Ning Chengzhu quickly added, "Yes, yes, that's it!"

Chen Luo stared at Ning Nanxiao for a long time before saying, "Nanxiao, your identities are different from ours. When we die, our lives are over, but you are different. You have memories, and you have a long time ahead of you. If you don't like Tuantuan in the future, don't bully her."

Bai Tuantuan was taken aback, and then a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Bai Han also said, "If you don't like her anymore, just give her back to us, Tuantuan."

Bai Han then looked at Bai Tuantuan and said very seriously, "The Bai family and the Chen family will always be your home. Our descendants will always be your support. Don't be afraid to come back, understand?"

"Grandpa Bai, Grandpa Chen, don't worry, that day will never come."

Ning Nanxiao's face was filled with unspeakable solemnity: "I have loved Tuantuan for hundreds of years, and I will not give up."

The crowd was somewhat surprised. Several hundred years?

"Back then, Tuantuan didn't understand the feelings between men and women, so I just thought it would be enough for me to stay by her side. I never expected that in this life, she would come to her senses..."

"Brother, you're really in a bad situation," Mu Yangzhi couldn't help but sigh.

Ning Nanxiao shook his head: "I said all this just to show the two elders my sincerity. I will not let go of Tuantuan, never..."

For a moment, Bai Han and Chen Luo fell silent.

After a long while, Chen Luo snorted coldly: "We don't care about what happened before, no matter how nicely you talk, we won't listen. We'll see what you do in the future!"

Ning Nanxiao smiled, stood up, and bowed deeply to the two elders: "Please supervise me, Grandfathers!"
