Xiao Jue carefully straightened the cloaks and hats for the two children, then led them out the door.
The people at the door bowed respectfully to him.
"Just follow from a distance," Xiao Jue instructed, then lowered his head and said to the two children in a gentle tone, "Hold on tight to Uncle Xiao, today Uncle Xiao is going to give you a taste of what it's like to fly."
After saying that, he waited until the two little ones clung tightly to him before gathering his inner strength and carrying them up to the roof.
When he felt a gust of cold wind blowing in his face, Xiao Jue steadied himself and carefully hid the two little ones inside his large cloak.
"Oh dear, no, this wind is just too cold. I'll take you on a trip when the weather's warmer. For now, just bear with it, we'll be at our destination soon." Xiao Jue comforted the two little ones as he sped up and flew forward.
The two little ones huddled inside the cloak, one hand tightly holding onto Xiao Jue, the other hand gripping each other tightly, the thick cloak successfully blocking out the cold wind.
As time went by, the two little ones gradually adapted to this novel flying experience, becoming increasingly excited and thrilled.
"Brother, I want to learn to fly like that in the future. It looks so amazing." Mo Zhiyuan heard the wind outside and, afraid that her brother wouldn't hear her, she deliberately raised her voice.
Mo Junye nodded, then remembered that it was dark inside the cloak and Mo Zhiyuan might not be able to see, so he also spoke up loudly, "I want to learn too. When I learn, I'll take you flying."
Xiao Jue listened to the two little ones chatting back and forth inside his cloak, and shook his head with a smile. Sure enough, they were those two people's children; they were quite bold.
After a while, Xiao Jue finally stopped.
After the two little ones had adjusted a bit, Xiao Jue gently took them out of the cloak, carefully adjusted their hats, and then said with a gentle smile, "Alright, we've arrived."
Mo Junye and Mo Zhiyuan looked up and around, and were startled by the sight before them. "Wow, it's so high! How can it be so high? Uncle Xiao, where is this place? Have we already left the palace?" Mo Zhiyuan asked curiously, tightly holding onto the edge of Xiao Jue's cloak.
Xiao Jue smiled and glanced at Mo Junye, noticing a hint of disapproval in his expression, and realized that he already knew where they were.
So he replied gently, "We haven't left the palace. We're still inside the palace. This is the highest point in the palace—the Star-Picking Tower."
"Ah, the Star-Picking Tower!" Upon hearing this name, the little guy immediately covered his mouth nervously, looked around guiltily, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was around.
"Uncle Xiao, how amazing are you? My grandparents didn't bring us. I begged my grandfather for so long, but he still wouldn't let me come. Humph, Uncle Xiao, I declare that you are now one of my most beloved people."
Xiao Jue was somewhat flattered. Was this the person he loved the most?
Even though it's just one of them, I'm still very excited.
I must brag about this to Luo Xiuran and Wuming later.
Seeing Xiao Jue's expression, Mo Junye knew that he had been deceived by his younger sister. After all, his sister had someone she loved the most and the most beloved person.
"Alright, close your eyes first, and open them when you hear a sound!" Xiao Jue said carefully to the two little ones.
"Hehe, Uncle Xiao, are you taking us to see fireworks?" Mo Zhiyuan asked quickly.
Xiao Jue chuckled, "Little princess is so clever. Does the little princess like watching fireworks? I heard you've already seen the fireworks at the palace banquet. Shall we skip watching them for now?"
Mo Zhiyuan quickly said, "I want to see, I want to see! The fireworks at the palace banquet only lasted a short while, and I didn't get enough of them before they were over. Uncle Xiao, you're the best! I want to see, I want to see!"
"Alright, then I'll give you a good show tonight. Hurry up and close your eyes, it's about to start." After Xiao Jue finished speaking, the two of them consciously covered their eyes with their hands. Their synchronized actions made Xiao Jue's heart itch, but he forcefully suppressed the urge to touch their heads.
Seeing that the two had already covered their eyes tightly, he launched a silent firework into the sky, then quickly ran to their side and shouted, "You can open your eyes now!"
Suddenly, a dazzling display of fireworks burst forth in the sky, their colorful rays illuminating the entire night.
"Wow, so beautiful!" Mo Zhiyuan and Mo Zhiyi exclaimed at the same time.
Looking at their excited expressions, Xiao Jue felt a sense of satisfaction.
Then several more fireworks of different shapes and colors were set off, each one eliciting cheers from the two little ones.
"Uncle Xiao, this firework looks like a butterfly!"
"This looks like a flower!"
"And this one, it looks like a smiley face!"
Just then, a special firework burst in the sky, forming a giant heart shape.
"Wow, Uncle Xiao, these fireworks are so beautiful!" Mo Zhiyuan exclaimed excitedly.
Taking the opportunity, Xiao Jue asked, "Little princess, do you like these fireworks?"
"I love it, I love it so much!" Mo Zhiyuan answered without hesitation.
"It's so beautiful! I've never seen so many colors and such big fireworks before. It's so beautiful! Uncle Xiao, you're so amazing! These fireworks are so pretty."
"Wow, brother, look! It's a little rabbit!" Mo Zhiyuan exclaimed with delight as the fireworks exploded and turned into a little rabbit. She excitedly grabbed Mo Junye's hand and shook it back and forth.
