"Yulu, look, there really is acrobatics here, it's amazing."
At this moment, Han Chunying forgot about missing home and also forgot whether Han Yu'an had successfully denied the marriage proposal.
Staring intently at the two people standing in the center, he thought to himself, "As expected of Kyoto, it's so lively."
“Yulu, look at those people’s clothes, they’re so much better than ours. I really want to stay here.”
"What's so great about this place? The cost of living here is too high. I think our small town is much better. Life is comfortable, and we even have yards where we can grow vegetables. Isn't that wonderful?"
Cui Yulu felt that the small county town was more comfortable, and she had familiar relatives there who could chat with her, which made her feel more at ease.
Just as the two were watching the acrobatic performance, Han Chunying suddenly discovered that Ghost Hand Qiao was also there, and that he was stealing something.
"Rain and Dew, isn't that the man who stole our things at the inn before?"
Han Chunying felt that the man looked somewhat familiar, so she reminded Cui Yulu, who was standing next to her, to look.
"It's him. He wasn't locked up. It seems he really has powerful backers."
Cui Yulu glanced at the shifty-eyed man who was still stealing things not far away, and secretly flicked a soybean at his pressure points.
Ghost Hand Joe felt a tingling sensation in his arm, and the thing he was about to grab fell back down, only to be noticed by the other person.
The young woman shouted, "Thief! There's a thief!"
Everyone around looked at Ghost Hand Joe. Taking advantage of his short stature, he easily darted through the crowd, making him difficult to catch under normal circumstances.
However, with Cui Yulu around, he won't be able to escape so easily.
With a few quick swishes, Ghost Hand Joe's legs became immobile, and he fell to the ground, whereupon those people grabbed him.
As luck would have it, Ghost Hand Joe fell right at their feet. He looked at them with his beady eyes, grinning with his yellow teeth.
"You can't catch me."
Just as they were stunned, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in front of them, and they couldn't see anything clearly. When the smoke disappeared, there was no trace of Ghost Hand Joe on the ground.
"Damn it, he still got away. What a pity."
Han Chunying stomped her foot angrily, but Cui Yulu was still in a daze.
What did that Ghost Hand Qiao mean just now? Could it be that Fu Xiaoyu is really in danger?
"Yulu, what are you thinking? It's such a pity that he got away."
"Well, let's go back. I don't feel safe here."
Han Chunying didn't understand why Cui Yulu had been in a daze all day, but after what had happened, she felt there was no point in continuing to stroll around, so she had no choice but to agree to go home with her.
Just as the two were about to leave, the woman who had been robbed earlier walked towards them.
"Thank you so much for saving me just now, young lady. I, Xu Wanyi, thank you both again."
"Young lady, you must be mistaken. We didn't make a move. You must be seeing things."
Cui Yulu quickly pulled Han Chunying to leave, thinking it best to avoid trouble in this unfamiliar place.
Moreover, he had acted secretly, yet she had seen through his deception. Perhaps this woman was in cahoots with Ghost Hand Qiao.
"Please don't misunderstand, gentlemen. I am not with that thief. I am a martial artist and can sense your skills, but you have no internal energy, so you were hitting that thief's pressure points."
Cui Yulu nodded: "What you say is all right, but it was just a small favor. You don't need to take it to heart. Farewell."
The two left together, and Xu Wanyi didn't try to stop them. After all, it was their first meeting, and she probably scared the two girls by being too enthusiastic.
Looking at the two figures from behind, Xu Wanyi felt that they would meet again.
On the Cui family's side, Han An has successfully gained the old lady's approval, and the old lady is very fond of this grandson. She keeps touching his hand and can't get enough of looking at him, and her originally ill body has also recovered a lot.
Cui Tiansheng glanced at Cui Tianqi and whispered in his ear, "Mother is very happy now, so we shouldn't spoil her mood, right? That's why I've already arranged for someone to kick that kid you brought out. Don't be angry."
Cui Tianqi hadn't expected him to do this, but since things had come to this, he didn't say anything, just nodded faintly.
"Since my elder brother has made his decision, there's nothing I can say. Let's leave it at that."
Cui Tianqi smiled calmly; he wanted to see which side his brother was on.
The situation in Kyoto is currently unclear, with various forces gathering, and a tough battle is expected to take place. It is also unknown how Fu Xiaoyu is doing.
The world in Kyoto is about to change. I don't know if bringing these kids into this was the right or wrong thing to do. Anyway, it's fate, and no one can escape it.
Cui Tianqi looked at Han An's calculating and smug eyes. How could such a person be his sister's child? Now is not the time to acknowledge that child. Let's wait until this period of time passes.
Han Yu'an was indeed driven out of the Cui residence by the servants, and didn't even get to see his maternal grandmother. It was truly tragic.
"Hmph, all sorts of worthless scoundrels come here to claim kinship, it's utterly ridiculous, get out of here."
Han Yu'an glanced at the servant but said nothing. He simply took his bundle and left the Cui residence.
He found it hard to accept that Han An, that scoundrel, had become his mother's son.
Just as he stepped out of the Cui residence, he was surprised to find Zhao Guifang waiting for him there.
"Hmph, you didn't expect that, did you? Even if you changed your fate back, you still lost to my son. Sometimes you have to believe in fate. This is the blessing my son was destined to have, and you can't steal it from him."
Zhao Guifang looked at the dejected Han Yu'an with a smug expression, and then thought of her own Han Quan, who had been exiled to a harsh and cold place, and felt intense hatred in her heart.
"You dare to flaunt your stolen luck? Be careful that God takes it back from you. That jade pendant was originally mine. You stole it back then, but I never thought it would come in handy here. You'll always be thieves, and when the time comes, you'll have to return it all."
After Han Yu'an finished speaking, he ignored her barking and left.
"Hey, you're just not convinced, but it's no use. My son is now the grandson of the Cui family, and his status is much higher than yours. You'll never catch up to my son."
Zhao Guifang became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice grew louder and louder.
“You woman are so ignorant. Now that Han An’s status has changed, you should also change the way you speak, and get rid of your previous rustic manner.”
Cui Tiansheng glared at Zhao Guifang, which made her tremble and quickly shut her mouth.
She couldn't let her ruin her son's bright future; she was waiting for Han An to become powerful enough to bring Han Quan back.
"Don't worry, sir, I will be careful in the future and won't cause any trouble for Han An."
"That's for the best. We should have less contact with Han An in the future. His status is different now. He's going to pursue a career in government. With the Cui family's support, that's enough."
Cui Tiansheng's words sent a chill down Zhao Guifang's spine. Just then, Han An came out and saw that Zhao Guifang's face showed no particular emotion, only a basic polite smile, lacking the previous warmth.
