Chapter 586 A Dream of Nanke (Part 1)
"Only 8 years old... what did she eat to grow so tall?"
"You're so dark-skinned... I know you, there's no way I wouldn't remember you!"
"No...you smeared poison on your lips, didn't you? I'm your senior apprentice!"
——
Fusu has been in a good mood lately.
As children grow taller as expected, adulthood is just around the corner; the nationwide competition is over, and there's no longer any need to try to avoid government affairs.
The cheerful eldest son, accompanied by his new little followers Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui, began to wander around.
"Young master, we've already circled Moon Lake three times..."
Zhao Tuo stared blankly at Fusu, "What exactly are we looking for?"
Wu Rui also looked at Fusu with curiosity; the three were the same age. But compared to Fusu, who had grown up exceptionally fast recently, Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui looked remarkably young.
Fusu was exasperated: "What are you looking for! The scenery is so beautiful, of course we're just strolling around! What else could we be doing?"
Zhao Tuo thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "Practicing swordsmanship is also acceptable."
“That’s right,” Wu Rui nodded excitedly, “I heard that Brother Meng is on duty at the training ground today. I haven’t seen him wield a sword in a long time!”
Fusu sighed, "What's wrong? You've been with me for so long, how come you haven't learned any of my good qualities? You need to learn to relax and steal a moment of leisure from your busy schedule!"
"But you haven't been busy either, young master..."
Zhao Tuo's voice grew softer and softer under Fusu's gaze, until he finally fell silent.
Seeing this, Wu Rui quickly tried to smooth things over: "How can you say that! Young Master was just... just... very relaxed!"
"puff"
Laughter rang in my ears, but the laughter wasn't from Fusu, Zhao Tuo, or Wu Rui!
"who?"
Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui immediately stepped forward, using their shorter stature to block Fusu's path. Compared to their previous stunned and bewildered state, their eyes were now exceptionally vigilant and sharp.
Just then, under the watchful eyes of the three, the grass beside the path rustled, and a tall, bronze-skinned figure emerged.
Who goes there?
Zhao Tuo questioned him with a stern face. The man before him was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. If he had seen him before, he would never forget him, but Zhao Tuo simply had no recollection of him whatsoever.
stranger!
A stranger has appeared inside Xianyang Palace!
Or a complete stranger who makes your hair stand on end just by looking at him!
A stranger appeared before the eldest son!
Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui exchanged a glance, then gripped the hilts of their swords tightly, both ready to fight to the death for their young master!
But for some reason, upon seeing this scene, the man opposite him couldn't help but burst into laughter, leaving Fusu speechless.
"Have you been tickled? What are you laughing at?"
The man waved his hand and said, "Xiao Fusu, your charm remains undiminished."
Fusu narrowed his eyes and stared at the man: "It's normal that you know me, but I don't know you. Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
"Pfft," the man was amused by Fusu's words again, "You weren't like this before... oh, I should say you weren't like this even when you grew up?"
Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui exchanged another glance. This person seems to have something wrong with his head. We must protect the eldest son!
Wu Rui: Mm!
Feeling insulted by the three children's glares, the man touched his nose and introduced himself: "I am Xiang Shaolong, Fusu. No need to be so formal, just call me Uncle-Master. You'll have to call me that sooner or later anyway."
Fusu rolled his eyes without any hesitation: "You're not being a stranger at all!"
Seeing him like this, Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but chuckle quietly again. Who would have thought that the gentle and refined Fusu had such a lively and outgoing personality in his youth?
His gaze fell on the two still tense little boys. Xiang Shaolong, who had overheard the three talking in the bushes earlier, asked curiously, "Why did you choose two such young children as study companions?"
These words completely hit Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui's sore spots. What's wrong with them? They are the most suitable study companions for the eldest son, without exception! (Apologies to Zhang Liang and Senior Meng Yi, but I won't change my ways!)
Fusu pulled the two of them to his side, one in each hand, saying, "How are they young? Aren't they all my age?"
"People of the same age?"
Xiang Shaolong's eyes widened slightly, his gaze sliding from Fusu's height to the two men who were about shoulder height to him, and he couldn't help but ask, "How old are you this year?"
Fusu raised an eyebrow: "Don't you know me? Didn't you say you were my senior uncle? Don't you know how old I am?"
As if he had found a loophole in his words, Fusu smiled smugly.
"Tsk"
Xiang Shaolong clicked his tongue, and then, to the astonishment of the three, a blur appeared in their eyes as he flashed behind Fusu, touched his bones, and then couldn't help but pat Fusu's head.
"Eight years old...only eight years old, what did you eat to grow so tall?"
Fusu dodged aside and pulled Zhao Tuo and the other man to the side.
Zhao Tuo and his companion were like startled birds, their entire bodies tense up from Xiang Shaolong's display of skill.
Only Fusu remained calm, holding them back from making a move. He simply tilted his head and looked Xiang Shaolong up and down, saying bluntly, "You're so dark-skinned... I can't possibly not remember you!"
Xiang Shaolong exaggeratedly clutched his chest: "No... you smeared poison on your lips, didn't you? I'm your senior uncle!"
"If you don't believe me, prove it to me."
Fusu raised his chin, while Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui beside him stared at him menacingly.
Xiang Shaolong sighed helplessly, "How can I prove that?"
I don't know how Gao Yao set it up, but Fusu obviously hasn't regained his memory, or maybe he just arrived too early.
Looking at Fusu, who was nearly 1.5 meters tall, Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but sigh. It was really hard to believe that this kid was only 8 years old. Even if you tried to force him to grow, he wouldn't have grown this tall. He thought he was at least 12 or 13 years old.
Fusu was young and had no memory of it. Xiang Shaolong was worried that revealing the truth would affect Gao Yao's backup plan, so he was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Damn it, I shouldn't have run off by myself!
Xiang discovers that he may have transmigrated because of Gao Yao, feels that he is trapped in some kind of cycle, doesn't want to raise the child with Gao Yao, refuses to be a male mother, wanders around the small world alone, and Shao Long is extremely annoyed.
Fusu's eyes darted around, and he coughed lightly to attract Xiang Shaolong's attention before slowly saying, "I have an idea..."
"What idea?"
Xiang Shaolong asked the question impatiently, completely unaware that Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui, who were originally on guard, couldn't help but reveal pity amidst their wariness.
