Seeing that Xie Yuancheng was still not leaving, I reached out and grabbed his collar. Luckily, he turned around and walked back, which put my mind at ease.
"Ying'er, I'm going to the capital to find my master and transfer your abilities to me!"
He was still indignant, so I gave him a big hug. "It's all good, you can have whatever you want~ I'll just keep a little bit for myself." Anyway, he can't take it away from me, so I'm quite at ease.
"This road is really bad, aren't you sure you're not mistaken?" I thought he was going to say something else, but he just said there was something wrong with the road.
I turned to look, and indeed something was amiss, but I still saw a kingfisher flying ahead. I let go and came back, picked up the scroll, and looked at it. I didn't even need to recite it; it was all displayed on the scroll.
We were so engrossed in our conversation that we didn't even notice. I can't agree to his request next time, or it will cause problems. I told Xie Yuancheng to look down, and he knew what the problem was at a glance.
"It's strange that such an inconspicuous road is still the right one."
"You always like to look at fancy places and don't pay attention to these little details at all. No wonder many people say that yin and yang need to be in balance so that the family can live in harmony and happiness. That's why you can be with me."
“This is serious. I only said one sentence, and you’ve learned so much from it. I’ve been here several times before without any problems. I don’t know when they tampered with it.”
"Could it be... I mean, I don't object, but we should still be a little more reserved in the future." I pressed my face against Xie Yuancheng's chest, deliberately loosening his collar a bit, and felt at ease leaning against him.
"Ying'er~ Who's teasing me now~" Xie Yuancheng pinched my waist, and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to disappear. I hugged his chest tightly and wouldn't let go.
"I knew you were shy." Xie Yuancheng came over and touched my face, then glanced at the scroll again before putting it back in the book and telling me to keep it safe.
I put the book down and turned around to look. The kingfisher was baring its teeth at me. I could hear its voice telling us to hurry up and set a trap for the other bird, or we would be the ones to fall into the trap.
"Little Chengcheng, where's your red cloak? We need to hurry, the kingfisher is urging us to turn the tables and win a round."
"That's too much~ You've taken the lead this time. Ying'er, you just now..."
I quickly covered his mouth and told him to sit up straight so I could roll over and get a better view. Xie Yuancheng was quite cooperative, but the way he smiled and the light in his eyes all screamed that I was frail.
"Don't look down on me, I'm in great shape." I bumped him with the back of my head, and he actually cooperated by yelling that it hurt. I told him to run away quickly, or I wouldn't be able to hold on.
"Alright, I won't tease you today, but it won't be so easy next time~" Xie Yuancheng was still very considerate. He told me to sit down, and as soon as the red cloak appeared, the horse galloped away.
The kingfisher probably forgot we had red capes. It struggled to fly onto the saddle with its small wings. I was used to this speed, so I reached out, grabbed it, and put it in my pocket.
"Chirp chirp~" It still has the nerve to say that it almost couldn't catch up. It shouldn't have flown ahead. I tried to talk to it, and to my surprise, there was an echo in my head. This little bird is so interesting. When we get to our destination, I'll have to feed it some nuts.
"Hmph~ I'm a fairy, I don't eat nuts, I eat pollen."
"Pollen? Where am I supposed to find pollen for you?"
"I knew you wouldn't find it. I'm also very picky about flowers. I won't eat pollen that's substandard. I have to go to places with lots of flowers so that one meal can keep me full for a year."
"That's simple, but the nuts I'm feeding you on our first meeting aren't actually food."
"Hmph~" The kingfisher started humming again, probably feeling a little embarrassed. I didn't bother to ask it anything and let it rest.
We had just finished talking when Xie Yuancheng put away his red cloak. Only then did I realize that once we left the woods and crossed the river, we would see some people.
"Quick, look back!" The kingfisher flew out, and when I looked back, I really did see some fires rising. I asked Xie Yuancheng to take a look, and he said they were lights signaling for help.
"Aren't these assassins? Why do they need someone to save them?"
"Ying'er~ They're like this because they failed their mission. Weren't we supposed to give them a counterattack? Have you forgotten already?"
Yeah, it's all his fault. He's made me feel so unwell. I turned around and flicked him, but he dodged it. "I'm going to bully you, come closer!"
Xie Yuancheng snorted, but still obediently offered his face for me to flick. I only touched him very lightly, and he cried out in pain!
“If I were sitting right in front of you, I would definitely pinch and rub your hands.” I pulled his hand and shook it back and forth. We had already crossed the bridge, and as soon as we crossed, we saw the soldiers who had come out of Linyang with him.
Xie Yuancheng rode over and told them where he wanted to go. I heard "Zhiyedi" and thought, "What a terrible place this is! This is the first time I've ever heard of it."
"Where are we?" I couldn't help but ask when we were just the two of us left in the back.
"Little Ying'er has been having a lot of problems lately, I'm not going to tell you." Knowing he would say that, I retorted by pulling on his belt to see when he had gotten dressed. No wonder he was so smug just now.
"Hmph~ I'll find out soon enough. I'm really curious now, who exactly are the sinners of the Misty Abode?"
"Of course you don't know them. They're all new hires. Even if you met them outside, you wouldn't recognize them."
"You're so sure? What if I knew him?"
"That means you dreamt that you thought they were bad guys. Normally, if you knew them, I wouldn't believe it either. This is the first time I've seen them. The teacher couldn't come over, so he asked me to handle it."
Okay, since he's said that, I don't like to contradict him, so I'll rest by leaning against Xie Yuancheng. When there's nothing to remind the kingfisher, it stays in the pocket and never comes out.
I was happy to chat with Xie Yuancheng, but he actually said I talked too much. I nudged him and said, "Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again."
"Ying'er~ You've been so fierce lately, I don't dare to get close to you anymore. Being your little brother in the future will be risky."
"Stop talking nonsense. You started this whole thing. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'll let you talk to the air and put your arrogance to a halt."
"No, you have to tell me, I love hearing that so much~" He's trying to play the victim again, but I'm not one to be trifled with. I turned my head away and ignored him.
I was going to pretend to be aloof, but he was too clever. I turned my face a few times, and he followed suit, so I couldn't stay angry and burst out laughing.
"That's more like it~ You think you can act all high and mighty? I have plenty of ways to deal with that~" Xie Yuancheng said in my ear. I wanted to kick him, but I decided to give him face in public because he was quick and agile.
