"You..." Su Pingchuan's anger surged to his face in an instant, but he had nowhere to vent due to the surrounding situation.
He had to consider his father's reputation, and even more so the reputation of the palace. He couldn't embarrass this woman in public.
"plain."
A voice sounded in the garden. Xiao Nan turned around and saw Xuanyuan King Su Che standing under the eaves not far away. His face was hidden in the shadows and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Have you finished what I told you to do? What are you still standing there for?"
Su Pingchuan's unwillingness was written on his face, but he had to retreat.
Before leaving, he looked at Xiao Nanhui deeply, as if there were thousands of words hidden in his eyes.
But it was just a look after all, and Xiao Nanhui still didn't understand the meaning behind it.
"Miss Xiao, the mortal world has been cleansed, and the ceremony is complete."
The voice of the old man in brown clothes sounded again. She came back to her senses and suddenly felt something passing over her head.
She looked up, only able to catch a glimpse of a fleeting shadow.
It was a white banner with countless thin white flags wrapped around its thin frame. They were made of plain linen and were of varying new and old textures.
And just recently, she saw a belt with a very similar texture and style.
At that time, she thought it was just a belt for tying clothes.
Her eyes widened, and she could barely hide the expression on her face.
In the blink of an eye, the prayer flag had brushed past her head and then returned to the bottom of the huge brown cloak, disappearing without a trace.
Xiao Nanhui was unable to recover from his shock and almost thought that what he had just seen was an illusion.
The last cup of wine had been poured, and the blessing ceremony concluded. Countless maids streamed in from the side of the garden, removing the ritual vessels one by one. Amidst the countless figures moving about, Xiao Nanhui could only watch helplessly as the brown figure disappeared at the end of the eaves corridor leading outside Yi Garden.
After finally getting free, she hurried to chase after the person, but was grabbed from behind.
"What are you doing?" The Shrike's eyes were as big as copper bells, and it seemed that they could make sounds when they shook.
"I'll go and take a look." Xiao Nanhui's mind was not on the big-headed doll. He only wanted to verify what he had just seen at a glance.
"Are you crazy?!" Shrike's voice became unusually sharp. "I told you, he's a terrible person. Why did you still go?"
Xiao Nanhui was speechless. She didn't know how to explain the reason in just a few words.
Seeing that the figure was almost gone, she no longer cared about anything else and quickly patted the big head.
"Well, let's split up. You hurry back home now. If I'm not back in an hour, remember to bring someone to rescue me."
"What do you mean by splitting up? Who should I bring to rescue you?!" Shrike's head looked even bigger than usual. "Hey, Xiao Nanhui! Come back here! I haven't promised you yet, so I won't care about you! You...you crazy woman!"
The short and stocky figure stomped his feet in frustration, but the woman not far away had disappeared in a flash.
