Just as the vine was about to lean against the railing for a moment, it was unexpectedly kissed, causing its leaves to blush faintly.

"Little one, what are you doing! Shame on you!"

Wu Hua, with her thick skin, hugged it tightly.

"Tengteng, how can you be so kind! You even saved some meat for me. Come here, give me another kiss!"

As she spoke, she leaned in to kiss him, but Qin Luo, who had walked over, grabbed her and lifted her up.

"You little rascal, you're getting more and more shameless! Tengteng is a girl, you're being a pervert!"

Wu Hua then stopped pouting, her limbs hanging naturally at her sides, and her head drooping down.

"Okay! Then I won't kiss you!"

Seeing its appearance, Tengteng burst into laughter. Qin Luo and Wu Hua also had a low threshold for laughter.

Their laughter carried far and wide.

The little jay eggs in the water of life swayed joyfully along with the laughter.

It seems to desperately want to break free from the eggshell's confinement, but lacks the strength to do so.

The little seedling is no longer a seedling; it has grown into a sapling.

It stared blankly at the human, beast, and vine laughing and joking around, seemingly trying to distinguish who they were by their voices.

When Qin Luo looked over, she saw it swaying the branch from side to side, as if it were dancing or thinking.

She looked at Wu Hua again.

"Little one, the little sprout has grown up. Shouldn't we give it a name?"

Wu Hua looked at the Bodhi tree, as if to say, "I was prepared all along."

"When I agreed to Titi's request, I already decided on the name: Qin Ya'er! How about the nickname Ya Miao?"

Qin Luo and Titi were unsure how to express their opinions, feeling that although they had given names and surnames, it still felt somewhat perfunctory.

Wu Hua, however, felt good about herself.

"How beautiful it is! All plants in the world begin as buds, which means new life and also represents Titi's expectations for it!"

After hearing what it said, Qin Luo actually thought the name was quite good.

"Okay! From now on, it will be called Qin Ya, and its nickname will be Ya Miao! Tengteng will be called Qin Teng, and its nickname will still be Tengteng! What about the little bird? And the calf?"

Wu Hua raised her little head and the name came out on her lips.

"The little bird is named Qin Sheng, and its nickname is Bu Xi, representing the endless flow of the water of life! It also contains the bird mother's last wish that it live on. The calf is named Qin Niu, and its nickname is Niu Niu, which sounds powerful!"

Everyone was very happy with their names, especially the little calf, who ran over and licked Wu Hua's little face.

After being licked, Wu Hua screamed in terror, "Ahhh! Luo Luo, I'm dirty!"

Then, another burst of laughter and Wu Hua's jumping up and down erupted in the space!

Early the next morning

Wu Hua and Qin Luo opened the door to their inn room and saw Lü Siqing waiting at the entrance.

He first politely bowed to the two of them.

Good morning, elder brother and younger brother!

Qin Luo and Wu Hua returned the greeting.

Good morning, come in and tell me what's up!

After nodding, Lü Siqing went into the room and made sure to close the door behind her.

He thought about it all night. Since he didn't like his older brother, he couldn't offend those who were good to him for his sake.

Moreover, based on his guess, anyone who could make his elder brother go to such lengths to get to know must be someone not to be underestimated.

If that's the case, why can't he take advantage of his proximity to the source?

He closed the door, turned around, and knelt down in front of Qin Luo and Wu Hua to admit his mistake.

"Brother, younger brother, I'm sorry!"

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow at him

"Oh! What makes you say that!"

Lü Siqing knew that if she wanted to befriend them, she had to show them sincerity.

He took out the envelope and banknotes from his pocket and held them above his head with both hands.

"Brother, please read the letter!"

Qin Luo took the letter but not the silver notes.

Lu Siqing did not lower her hand, but instead held it high above her head.

After Qin Luo finished reading the letter, she helped him up.

"This isn't your fault; you were just being used, so there's no need for this!"

Lü Siqing stood up, his attitude still very humble.

"Although I was being used, I didn't inform you immediately after I found out..."

Qin Luo smiled brightly at him.

"It's not too late to tell you now. The letter says he's waiting for you in Arlan County. It seems he's very confident about our itinerary!"

Wu Hua tilted her head and asked her.

"How did he determine that? We didn't tell anyone about the travel route!"

Qin Luo shook his head

"I don't know either, maybe Yalan County is just an excuse!"

She turned to look at Lü Siqing

"The key is when he gets to know us better! That's when he'll show himself!"

Her words made Lü Siqing even more ashamed. He lowered his head, looking at his toes, but his tone remained exceptionally firm.

"Brother, please rest assured, I will not help him harm you. I will find someone to send a message to Granny later, asking her to help me complete my household registration and travel permit and send them to me. I will then set off!"

His words did earn him some respect from Qin Luo.

"What official position does your father hold in the capital?"

Lu Siqing thought for a moment and replied, "I heard from my nanny that when she took me away, my father was serving as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

Qin Luo didn't know what rank the Vice Minister of Rites was, so she asked Wu Hua in her mind.

The Martial Arts Encyclopedia immediately provided the answer: "A third-rank official!"

Qin Luo thought it was quite impressive. A third-rank official ten years ago, he must have at least reached the second rank by now!

Then Wu Hua continued, "Don't be afraid, we can't compare to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion or the Duke of Qi's Mansion! At worst, we still have our prince brother!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo exclaimed, "That's right! Then what's there to be afraid of!"

He turned to Lü Siqing and said, "Don't go through all that trouble. After breakfast, I'll take you to the yamen to get a new household registration and travel permit. You can come with us. We can't bear to leave a child like you here!"
