Chapter 23: The Mysterious Old Man is a 'Ball'



The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the sky is as blue as a gem, and there is not a single cloud to block the view. A peaceful and tranquil scene unfolds before your eyes.

"Dad, Mom, today I will take my sister to the city gate to pick up my master." After breakfast, Mu Feng said to Mu Changqing and Feng Lingyue.

"Your master is coming? Your father will go with you to pick him up." Mu Changqing said.

"No need. My master likes to do things unconventionally. I'm afraid you'll be scared..." Mu Feng remembered the shocking way his master made his appearance every time he came back from traveling, and quickly shook his head.

"What you said makes me even more curious." Mu Changqing immediately decided that he had to go.

"Okay, then you better be mentally prepared and don't lose your composure." Mu Feng said weakly.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Your father will remain calm even if the sky falls." Mu Changqing responded casually.

“…”

"Qiang Lake~Let's go~Let's go out and play~" Everything was ready, and Mu Changqing got on the carriage with his son and daughter.

"Madam, please go back and rest, don't catch a cold." Mu Changqing said to his wife at the door.

"I understand. There are many people at the city gate, so you must keep an eye on the children. Also, regarding Master Feng'er, you should listen to what he says more and don't offend him without knowing it." Feng Lingyue warned worriedly.

"Okay, okay, I got it. You should go and rest." Mu Changqing signaled Zi Su to help his wife go back quickly.

"Hehehe, this scene is like a mother who is worried and tells her unreliable son not to go out. It's making me laugh to death." Mu Li's cute voice suddenly reached their ears.

Mu Feng chuckled. Feng Lingyue turned around and walked away awkwardly, looking a bit like she was running away. Feng Changqing's face darkened. "Let's go!"

"Yes." The carriage started slowly.

"Your Highness, shall we leave now?" Long Yi asked, standing behind the prince outside the corner gate.

"Let's go to the black market first." An inconspicuous carriage drove towards the black market outside the imperial capital.

"Your Highness, why are we sneaking into the black market?" Long Yi asked in confusion.

"Looking for someone." Mo Xi said.

"Who are we going to find?"

"An old friend." Mo Xi closed his eyes after saying this, making it clear that he didn't want to say more.

"Oh." Although Long Yi was confused, he knew that as a subordinate, he just had to be obedient and loyal, so he didn't ask any more questions.

But at this moment, Mo Xi's heart was not at peace at all. Memories flashed back and forth in his mind.

"King, I am the Book of Life and Death."

"Wang, I like the name Mu Li."

"King, I will be with you forever and ever!"

"Wang, Ali can't stay with you anymore. Ali is in so much pain..."

Tears streamed down Mo Xi's face.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Long Yi asked nervously, looking at the prince who suddenly burst into tears.

"I'm fine, I just remembered the past. It's great to be alive now!" Mo Xi said with a smile.

Long Yi thought of the Crown Prince's long-term illness due to congenital deficiencies, and his life of being bedridden with uncertainty, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, it's good now, and it will be even better in the future!"

"Yeah." Mo Xi nodded.

At the city gate, the Mu family's carriage stopped by the side. Mu Changqing looked at the people coming and going, and stood by while holding Mu Li.

"Feng'er, has your master arrived?"

"Not yet. Master said it's Si time."

"Isn't it already Si time? Who is your master?" Mu Changqing stretched his neck hard to look at the people queuing outside the city to enter.

"Dad, stop looking. My master is not in there." Mu Feng glanced casually and said.

"Then let's wait a little longer." Mu Changqing said.

"Dad, take my sister and sit in the carriage and wait. My master's appearance will definitely cause a commotion, and we will know the truth then." Mu Feng suggested.

"How can that be? I have to let your master see my sincerity. I can't neglect him." Mu Changqing said stubbornly.

"Okay, you stay here. Give me your sister. I'll carry her to the carriage and wait." Mu Feng looked at his unmoved father and reached out to hug Mu Li.

"Oh... forget it, your mother told me to listen to you, so I'd better go wait in the carriage!" Mu Changqing remembered his wife's instructions and turned to get into the carriage.

"Hahaha, Daddy is the 'wife slave' of our time." Mu Li lay in her father's arms, laughing heartily.

"Puchi..." Mu Feng also laughed.

"You two little bastards, you actually made fun of Daddy, didn't you?" Mu Changqing was not ashamed, but proud. "Dad just likes to listen to your mother, what's wrong with that?"

"It's okay, I'm fine." Mu Feng said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's really good. It's not shameful to listen to your wife. Male chauvinism is not acceptable! Ali, give daddy a thumbs up!" Mu Li looked at Mu Changqing with admiration.

"That's right. Listening to one's wife is a tradition for men in our Mu family!" Mu Changqing looked proud.

"Wow, Daddy is so handsome!" Mu Li's eyes were full of stars.

Mu Changqing kissed his daughter's forehead, and his heart softened.

Suddenly, they heard a commotion outside the city gate. They looked up and saw crowds of people rushing in one direction.

"Feng'er, there's such a big noise, could it be your master?" Mu Changqing asked curiously.

"Nine out of ten." Mu Feng nodded.

"Then let's go and take a look. Don't let anyone squeeze him." Mu Changqing said as he was about to get off the car.

"No, Dad, we'll just wait here. Master will be fine." Mu Feng hurriedly stopped Mu Changqing.

"All right."

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Changqing finally saw a group of people coming in from outside the city, surrounding a large pink ball.
