Half an hour later, Jiang Yueyang and others followed Lin Yan to his residence.

It was a quiet little courtyard, which looked ordinary but exuded a unique tranquility.

There were many tools and wood used to make puppets piled up in the yard, and a small puppet was left on a table nearby.

Just as the three of them were looking around the yard, the door of the house in front suddenly opened from the inside.

What came into the sight of several people was a puppet with a female appearance. The puppet was wearing a beautiful dress and had an exquisite hairstyle.

Jiang Yueyang and the other two were stunned.

If the puppet's exposed face and hands were not made of wood, they would have thought it was a living person.

Because the puppet's eyes were so vivid, as if they had a soul.

But the puppet looked a little childish, like a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Jiang Yueyang was the first to come back to his senses, and his voice was still filled with disbelief, "Master Lin, is that the puppet you made?"

"She's not." Lin Yan walked towards the puppet and stroked its cheek out of habit. "She was a birthday gift from my father for my fifteenth birthday."

In other words, the puppet was made by Lin Yan's father as a gift for him on his fifteenth birthday.

No wonder he looks so childish.

The puppet tilted its head, as if it was rubbing Lin Yan's hand with its face.

The third prince swallowed in shock, then ran up to look at the puppet curiously, Jiang Yueyang and the fifth prince followed closely behind.

The puppet didn't have any special reaction to the three of them staring at him, it just looked around mechanically.

The third prince asked, "How are her eyes made? They look like human eyes!"

The puppet's eyes are made of a wood that is very similar in color to the eyes. The whites of the eyes, the pupils, and the surrounding bloodshot are all very realistic.

This may be the main reason why this puppet is so lifelike.

Lin Yan shook his head. "I don't know. My father was gone before he could teach me."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang secretly pulled the sleeve of the Third Prince, signaling him to express his apology.

The Third Prince said, "I'm sorry, I don't know."

"No problem." Lin Yan took the puppet's hand and pulled her to his side. "Your Highness, please come in."

The third prince nodded slightly, stepped over the threshold and walked in.

As soon as they entered, they saw more than twenty exquisite puppets, both male and female, standing in the area near the window.

There were some puppet limbs and heads that had not been put together yet piled on the ground. Jiang Yueyang felt that it must be very scary to see them at night.

The third prince and the fifth prince walked quickly over there. The fifth prince subconsciously reached out to touch the puppet, but was stopped in time by the third prince.

The Third Prince turned around and looked at Lin Yan, "Lord Lin, can we touch it?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please."

After getting Lin Yan's consent, the third prince and the fifth prince began to play with the puppet, but their actions were not rough.

Jiang Yueyang glanced at the puppet beside Lin Yan, pointed at it and asked, "Master Lin, does she have a name?"

"flowery."

Hearing the word "Ruhua", Jiang Yueyang's mouth twitched, and she felt a crow flying over her head, cawing and dropping a string of black dots.

The system burst into laughter, [Hahaha... Ruhua? What a tacky name!]

Hearing the system's loud laughter, Lin Yan didn't react. But if you look closely, you'll find a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

The third prince was attracted by the laughter of the system and asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Yueyang ignored him and confirmed again: "Master Lin, what did you say her name was?"

Lin Yan pursed his lips slightly, "Ruhua."

"Puff~" The third prince quickly covered his mouth, "Sorry, I couldn't... I couldn't control it."

Jiang Yueyang tried hard to control her expression, "Does the name Ruhua have any special meaning?"

"I don't know, my father didn't say." Lin Yan paused, then said, "I don't think it sounds good."

Jiang Yueyang chuckled in her heart, you also know that it doesn’t sound good?

"I gave her a new name, but after her father passed away, I changed it back," Lin Yan continued.

"I wonder what the new name is?"

"Lingyue."

"That sounds nice!" Jiang Yueyang smiled brightly, "Can I call her Lingyue?"

Facing such a beautiful puppet, she really couldn't call out the name Ruhua, as that would be too unfair to her.

"Can."

At this time, the third prince had stopped laughing, put down his hand that was covering his mouth and was about to say something.

But before he could utter a sound, a scream came from the Fifth Prince.

The three looked over in the direction of the sound, and saw the Fifth Prince being punched by the puppet in front of him.

【Oh!】The system exclaimed.

With a dull thud, the Fifth Prince fell to the ground. He was now covering his cheeks and looking at the puppet in horror.

The puppet that was beating people was performing a set of martial arts, sometimes swinging punches, sometimes kicking, and sometimes jumping up and doing roundhouse kicks, scaring the Fifth Prince on the ground so much that he kept backing away.

“Third… Third brother!”

The Fifth Prince's cry for help brought the stunned Jiang Yueyang and the Third Prince back to their senses, and they hurried over to help him up.

Lin Yan was one step faster than them and was already operating behind the puppet.

After a while, the puppet stopped moving.

The third prince asked, "Fifth brother, what did you do?"

"I...hiss~" The Fifth Prince's face hurt as he spoke, "I just twisted the round thing on the back of the puppet."
