The man who asked the question said calmly, "Is that so? So that was Qiushui Village. I must have been mistaken."
He deliberately mispronounced the names, just to see if they were lying.
The sundial immediately looked at Fengguang with a magical gaze, becoming even more convinced that she was a goddess. However, he still said, "I am the older brother."
Feng Guang paused, then said, "I'm the older sister."
“I’m older than you, so I should be the older brother.”
Is now the time to worry about this?
She hadn't expected that the seemingly weak-willed Sundial would be so concerned about the issue of age. Everyone around had already quieted down. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're the older brother, and I'm the older sister. Is there a conflict?"
The sundial thought about it carefully, "There's no conflict."
"Then shut up!" she glared at him.
A cough was heard, and the man asked with concern, "Your Majesty, would you like to take your medicine?"
"No need." He waved his hand and smiled, a smile as warm as a March breeze that didn't match his sickly appearance. He looked at the scenery and the sundial and said with a smile, "Fengquan, don't you think this brother and sister are really interesting?"
Feng Quan paused for a moment and said, "Their origins are unknown... I'm afraid I can't find it interesting."
Fengguang and Rigui exchanged a glance, and both of them, trembling in unison, said, "Your Majesty?"
Their similar and exaggerated acting skills make it hard to believe they aren't siblings.
Mu Gui smiled faintly, his expression a blend of suave charm and gentle grace. He said slowly, “Your village was flooded; you must be very saddened.”
Fengguang and the sundial exchanged another glance, both with mournful faces, especially Fengguang, who said pitifully, "The flood came suddenly, and only my brother and I escaped. None of our relatives and friends survived, especially my brother..."
"It's my brother," the sundial said, feigning sorrow.
“…Especially my brother, whose fiancée he was about to marry also tragically died. It’s just too tragic to describe…” Feng Guang raised his hand to cover his face, pretending not to see the sundial’s darkened expression.
Mu Gui looked at the sundial with sympathy, "Young Master must be extremely heartbroken, but being alive is a good thing, so please try to think more positively."
"Hmm..." Sundial nodded reluctantly.
Unlike his master, Fengquan was not as easygoing. He asked again, "Since you came from Qiushui Village, why did you fall from the sky?"
“That’s a good question!” Feng Guang nudged the sundial next to him with his elbow, signaling him to answer.
The sundial was silent for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "We'll observe the celestial phenomena at night..."
"Cough cough!" Feng Guang coughed.
The sundial paused, then continued, "Actually... when we were calling for help in the water, a hermit suddenly appeared."
“That’s right.” Feng Guang nodded in agreement.
"That master said that we were not destined to die, so he took us flying using his lightness skill."
She chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes!"
I never expected that even a stubborn sundial could be flexible.
The sundial continued, "As a result, because my sister was too heavy, the hermit master was exhausted in mid-air, and we had no choice but to fall down like that."
“Yes…hmm?” Feng Guang looked up, squinting at the sundial.
Sundial smiled gently and patted the top of her head.
Feng Guang felt an urge to bite, but she held back. Not only did she hold back, she even smiled at Mu Gui and said, "That's right, I'm too heavy."
Mu Gui smiled again, "Then what about that kind-hearted hermit master?"
The scenery and the sundial both said in unison, "Of course it fell into the water."
