There was a market on the outskirts of Zhonghai. Every corner of the streets was decorated with vibrant colors. Most of the pedestrians on the crowded street had a joyous expression on their faces. Occasionally, there would be foreign hawkers who couldn't go home for the New Year, but they were forcing themselves to be energetic, hoping to make more money on the eve of the New Year.
Shouts, loudspeakers, and cheerful music blended together with the clamor of the crowd. The whole market was bustling with excitement.
Hui Lin didn't expect Yang Cheng to bring her to a place like this to buy fireworks. She thought that they were going to a place that specialized in selling fireworks. However, she didn't know much about these things, so she followed Yang Cheng wherever he went.
Yang Cheng walked in front while Hui Lin followed closely behind him. She didn't dare to stray too far away from Yang Cheng due to the clamor of the crowd. After all, she had spent most of her life in the quiet mountains. Seeing so many people made Hui Lin feel both novel and nervous.
When she saw some new and unique decorations or colorful New Year gifts, the childish Hui Lin couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances. Then, she continued to follow Yang Cheng reluctantly.
Yang Cheng turned around and couldn't help but smile. "If you like them, I'll buy you anything you want on our way back. Don't look at them now. Buy the fireworks first."
Hui Lin didn't expect Yang Cheng to notice her behavior. Her face blushed slightly. But when she heard that Yang Cheng was going to buy her fireworks, she happily agreed.
Actually, Yang Cheng didn't know what kind of fireworks he should buy. There was only a "female dormitory" in his house. If there were fireworks that needed to be enlarged, he, as a man, would be the one to light them. But that wouldn't be interesting. But if he bought small ones, they wouldn't be beautiful enough.
Yang Cheng thought about it and decided to buy both big and small ones.
Yang Cheng brought Hui Lin to a big shop that seemed to be bustling with activity. He looked around and picked a box of 88 fireworks and paid for it without hesitation.
The boss was a kind-hearted fat woman. She asked Yang Cheng if he needed help moving the box. After all, the box was not light. Yang Cheng said no.
Hui Lin stepped forward and asked innocently, "Brother Yang, do you want me to take it for you? I can do it, so you can buy something else. "
Hui Lin was, after all, a martial artist. Other girls might not be able to carry this weight, but it was a piece of cake for her.
Yang Cheng frowned. "You're just a little girl. What are you doing? Go to the store across the street and ask your grandfather to borrow two guards."
"Grandfather?"
Hui Lin was stunned. She turned around and saw Lin Zhiguo, who was dressed in casual clothes, and Gray Robe, who was following closely behind him. They were standing at the entrance of the porcelain bowl shop and were picking tea cups and bowls like ordinary customers.
When Lin Zhiguo saw Hui Lin looking at him in surprise, he knew that Yang Cheng had finally stopped ignoring them. He smiled bitterly and walked towards the fireworks shop with Gray Robe and the two guards.
In fact, from the moment Yang Cheng and Hui Lin arrived at the market, they had been around Yang Cheng intentionally or unintentionally. With Yang Cheng's ability, he should have noticed them from the beginning. But for some reason, Yang Cheng pretended not to see them.
Lin Zhiguo was, after all, an elder, and a person of high status. At first, he hoped that Yang Chen would be tactful and take the initiative to talk to him, but he didn't expect that Yang Chen didn't buy it at all, and left them hanging for a long time before responding to them.
"You brat, you sure are arrogant. I thought you were going to ignore us all the way home with my granddaughter," Lin Zhiguo said helplessly.
Hui Lin quickly lowered her head and called out, "Grandfather." She looked nervous. After knowing what Lin Zhiguo had done in the past, she didn't dare to talk to Lin Zhiguo anymore, afraid that she would anger her grandmother, Abbess Yun Miao.
Lin Zhiguo looked at his granddaughter, who was lowering her head timidly, and revealed a loving expression. "Hui Er, have you gotten used to living in your sister's house?"
"Yeah, she's very nice to me," Hui Lin said softly.
"That's good. Don't let Grandfather affect your relationship as a sister. By the way, does Ruoxi know who you are? "Lin Zhiguo asked with concern.
Hui Lin looked hesitant. "I think she knows … but I'm not too sure. She should know …"
"Is that so …" Lin Zhiguo thought for a while and sighed. "Ruoxi can accept you as her sister, but she can't accept me as her grandfather. It seems like I'm too sinful in her heart."
Yang Chen mumbled, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and help me move the fireworks."
Lin Zhiguo was annoyed. "Is this how you talk to your elders? Why should I help you move the fireworks that you bought? "
"Ask your guards to help me move the fireworks. I still need to bring your precious granddaughter to buy some stuff. Are you going to disappoint Hui Lin who finally gets to see her grandfather?" Yang Cheng smiled mischievously.
"You …"
Lin Zhiguo looked at Hui Lin, who was at a loss. He sighed and instructed the two guards to help Yang Cheng move the fireworks away.
Looking at Yang Cheng's smug face as he beckoned Hui Lin to leave, Lin Zhiguo frowned. "You're leaving just like that? Don't you want to know why I'm here? "
Yang Cheng shrugged his shoulders. "I won't ask if you don't want to tell me."
Lin Zhiguo was furious. This brat was trying to make him lose face, but he couldn't do anything about it. He was really in Lin Zhiguo's control.
In the end, he could only sigh. "I'm here to inform you that those people will arrive on the second night of the Lunar New Year."
Yang Cheng nodded casually. "Got it. If there's nothing else, I'll leave with Hui Lin first."
"Are you that confident? Don't you need to ask how many people there are? Who are they and what preparations should we make?! "Lin Zhiguo hurriedly asked.
Yang Cheng smiled relaxedly. "That's your job. I'm just going there to observe. Don't get me wrong."
After that, Yang Cheng ignored Lin Zhiguo's purple face and left the fireworks shop with Hui Lin, who kept looking back.
Gray Robe saw that Lin Zhiguo's face was stiff, so he tried to persuade him. "Master, if Yang Cheng wants to understand the situation, he'll definitely find out from the Sea Eagles. He's just trying to avoid arousing suspicion."
"Hmph, he's obviously looking down on me. Let's see how he's going to deal with this when the people from Sandstorm come, "Lin Zhiguo said solemnly." According to the latest information, the leader of Sandstorm is also involved in this plan. The man who built this team single-handedly isn't someone to be trifled with. "
Gray Robe also had a bitter expression. "Hua Xia's influence has been expanding all these years, but the number of enemies has been increasing, and they're getting stronger and stronger. I don't know how long our Yellow Flame Iron Brigade can last."
Lin Zhiguo's face was gloomy, and his gaze was inexplicably complicated.
On the other hand, Yang Cheng brought Hui Lin back the way they came. On the way back, Yang Cheng let Hui Lin choose whatever she liked. Hui Lin didn't bring any money with her, so it was Yang Cheng who footed the bill.
"Brother Yang, I'll pay you back when we get home," Hui Lin said with a serious face and a blushing face.
"Don't be silly. Even though I'm not as rich as your sister, I can still buy a little gift for my sister," Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Hui Lin pursed her lips. She didn't know why she felt a little disappointed, but she still smiled sweetly.
Just when the two of them were about to return to the carpark, a tall woman wearing a white down jacket and black skintight thermal stockings walked towards them. The woman was holding a woven shopping bag in her hand. She didn't put on any makeup and came to the market to shop without any makeup on. Her black hair was like ink, her skin was fair, and there was a faint layer of red on her cheeks that was blown by the cold wind. She looked elegant and refined in the crowd.
Yang Cheng was stunned. The woman in front of him seemed to have noticed something as well. She looked up and saw Yang Cheng. Then, a smile of surprise appeared on her face.
However, when she saw Hui Lin, who was standing beside Yang Cheng with a smiling face and a delicate figure, the woman's eyes revealed a hint of sadness and bitterness.
