Jealousy snarled, "What, are you even better looking than your father?"

"Daddy is the most handsome!"

Hearing Qin Jue's jealous words, Xiao Xi'er skillfully flattered him.

"snort"

"Daddy's the best!"

"Mu ah"

Qin Jue, who had just been kissed, was finally happy. "Is there anything else fun?"

"Daddy, you don't know, that pretty boy's hair color is different from mine!"

"Her hair is different from Daddy's!"

Little Xi'er stretched out her little paws, scratched her own hair, then scratched Qin Jue's hair, and said earnestly...

"Oh? How come it's different?"

Qin Jue was also curious about why that person's hair was different.

"The pretty guy's hair is just like..."

"It's the same color as the cat's fur, and the same color as the steamed bun, so pretty!"

As she spoke, Xiao Xi'er's eyes narrowed as she recalled Nan Tianyi's appearance.

"White?"

Qin Jue wasn't saying this to Xiao Xi'er, but rather to Zou Heng.

"Yes, Master."

Hearing Qin Jue's question, Zou Heng nodded and replied to Qin Jue's words.

Upon receiving Zou Heng's affirmation, Qin Jue's eyes narrowed.

"And the handsome guy even looked at my jade pendant~"

Xiao Xi'er took out the flame-shaped jade pendant hidden in her clothes and waved it in front of Qin Jue.

"What else did they say?"

"My pretty son even asked my mom!"

Qin Jue's hand, hidden in his sleeve, gradually tightened. After a while, he released his clenched fist.

"Why don't you go change into a pretty little dress, Xiaoxi'er?"

Xiao Xi lowered her head, looked at her clothes, and shook her head.

"No, no!"

"Daddy, don't I look good in this?"

"She looks good in everything, Xiaoxi looks good in anything."

Qin Jue squeezed Xiao Xi'er's hand, and Xiao Xi'er instinctively hugged Qin Jue's hand back.

"Don't go to that nest to change clothes."

"But this dress is too big, isn't it? Change it off, and Daddy will have someone make you an exact match, okay?"

Xiao Xi lowered her head and thought for a moment, then nodded and looked up at Qin Jue.

"Okay, okay!"

"Sanhezi took the princess to find Chunhe."

"twitter"

Qin Jue put Xiao Xi'er down on the ground, and after Xiao Xi'er stood up, he began to straighten her clothes.

After everything was done, Xiaoxi went to find Chunhe with Sanhezi.

After Xiao Xi'er left, Qin Jue glanced at Zou Heng, who then walked up to Qin Jue and knelt on one knee.

"master"

Zou Heng, not hearing Qin Jue speak, began to recount what had happened to Xiao Xi'er at noon.

Do you know the name?

"I don't know, I only know he has a younger sister named Mo Han."

Neither of them seemed to be from Fenglan Kingdom.

Zou Heng, kneeling on the ground, saw Qin Jue's hand slowly tighten.

"When I brought the princess back, there were people following us, but I've already dealt with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Heng saw that Qin Jue had water droplets on his hand.

He quickly got up, took the broken cup from Qin Jue's hand, and began to wipe Qin Jue's hands with a handkerchief.

"Go check if it's Nantianyi."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

After Zou Heng left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qin Jue sat on a stool, his eyes lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

Outside the palace, inside the small courtyard

"Master, we have found Master Guangyuan."

Jun Qingzhi nodded, then walked out of the courtyard and boarded the carriage.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at a small courtyard outside the city. Jun Qingzhi lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down from the carriage.

Jun Qingzhi walked to the gate and knocked on the courtyard gate.

"Knock knock knock"

A short while later, the courtyard gate opened, and a child about the same age as Jun Qingzhi came to open it.

If there's anything different, it's that the child who opened the door has already entered the Buddhist order.

"donor"

"please"

Wu Nian bowed to Jun Qingzhi and then gestured for her to enter.

"I wonder if Master Guangyuan is present?"

"The master is currently chanting scriptures; please wait in the main hall for a moment."

"Okay, thank you."

Wu Nian led Jun Qingzhi to a main hall the size of a room, brewed her a pot of tea, and then withdrew.

After Jun Qingzhi finished her fourth cup of tea, Guangyuan and Wunian came out.

Master Guangyuan

Upon seeing Guangyuan emerge, Jun Qingzhi stood up, bowed to him, and called out...

"Young benefactor"

Guangyuan called out to Jun Qingzhi and gestured for her to sit down.

Jun Qingzhi only sat down after seeing Guangyuan sitting on the stool.

"Master Guangyuan, we are in sync..."

Upon hearing Jun Qingzhi's words, Guangyuan raised his hand slightly, then lowered it, continuing to twirl the string of prayer beads in his hands.

"I already know the purpose of your visit, young benefactor."

"That……"

Just as Jun Qingzhi was about to say something more, Guangyuan stopped her once again.

"Young benefactor, your destiny chart has undergone some changes."

"Judging from the previous situation, you should have already returned to Yuan'an Kingdom by now, and your mother should be pregnant again."

"Now, your mother is not pregnant, and you have not returned to Yuan'an Kingdom."

"These are the changes that have already occurred; as for the future..."

Guangyuan was still speaking when Junqingzhi interrupted her and started talking on her own.

I just want to live in the present.

"Even if the outcome is bad, it doesn't matter?"

"Wouldn't that be good too?"
