"In the Warring States period, there was a general of unparalleled bravery..."
The storyteller began to tell the story, but Ye Shuang was lost in thought while eating snacks. Bai Xue had been watching her all morning and hadn't made a move yet, so she was also a little worried.
However, she soon realized that this group of people were scattered and wandering around the entire county. Bai Xue could only find the highest point in the county where she could see the whole town and keep a close eye on everyone.
The lantern festival hasn't started yet, and there's not much to see in this county town, but the fact that they're scattered so far apart means they're looking for Ma Rencai.
Ye Shuang withdrew her divine sense, turned her head and asked with a smile, "Brother, this is so interesting, can I ask Brother Ma to listen to it together?"
Li Wenyi thought for a moment and said, "Your brother Ma will come over as soon as he finishes his work. He's a big fan of the storyteller here and has to come and listen for a while every day to satisfy his craving."
Ye Shuang nodded, glanced downstairs, and saw Ma Rencai who had just come in. What a coincidence! Speak of the devil and he appears?
Li Wenyi also saw Ma Rencai. He waved to the waiter, signaling to bring Ma Rencai up.
The waiter at this teahouse was quite clever; in no time, Ma Rencai was brought in: "This student greets Your Excellency."
Li Wenyi waved his hand: "There's no need for such formalities between us outside."
Ye Shuang moved her fingers and added a very hidden barrier to the room, which would temporarily prevent others from detecting their aura. Although she didn't know how those cultivators found people like Ma Rencai, this barrier should be able to stop them for a while.
"Brother Ma, are you done with your work?" Ye Shuang asked with a sweet smile.
Ma Rencai stopped being polite and sat down next to Ye Shuang, nodding and saying, "Yes, what are you doing here? I saw your parents on my way here."
Li Wenyi nodded and said with a smile, "My parents asked me to take Shuang'er with me. I can't think of anywhere else that's fun and suitable for Shuang'er besides this place."
Ma Rencai was speechless for a moment, and after a long pause, he said, "Then this place isn't very fun for Shuang'er, is it? Can Shuang'er understand what the storyteller is saying?"
“What’s there to not understand? My Shuang’er is very smart, isn’t she, Shuang’er?” Li Wenyi raised his head slightly with great pride.
Ye Shuang nodded, mimicking Li Wenyi, and said, "That's right, I'm so smart! Isn't it just a story about a general from the Warring States period who was invincible in battle?"
Ma Rencai was somewhat surprised: "I thought your talent was already enviable enough, but I didn't expect your sister to be an even more talented genius! My lord, you must teach Shuang'er well and not slack off just because she is a girl."
Speaking of this, Li Wenyi sighed: "I want to too, but my parents spoil Shuang'er to the bone. When I'm at home, it's okay, I can still supervise her studies, but I'm not home most of the time. This girl is like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins. She's either climbing trees on the mountain or fishing in the river. My parents not only don't care, they even cheer her on!"
Ma Rencai really didn't expect things to turn out this way, and was momentarily speechless.
Ye Shuang didn't care what they were saying. She just listened attentively to the storyteller below, but she was actually keeping an eye on the three cultivators on the first floor. They had been in for a while, basically around the same time as Ma Rencai.
