It really was Ming Xi!
Yan Xiaoliu's eyes widened as he stared at the young boy who had grown quite a bit. In his memory, the calm and intelligent prince was still a child, but now he was almost as tall as him.
Four years! He thought that Ming Xi would never come back. With the guilt he felt towards Ming Xi, he did not dare to relax for a single day. Every day, he thought of protecting Ming Yu as he grew up, protecting him in Ming Xi's place.
Now, Ming Xi was in front of him. The person he had pledged his loyalty to for a lifetime had finally returned.
"Yan Xiaoliu, Lin Yanbei." Ming Xi walked in front of them. Yan Xiaoliu used to accompany him in his training in the palace. Lin Yanbei was the study partner he had personally chosen, so he could recognize them at a glance.
"Your … … Your Highness … …" Yan Xiaoliu's voice was hoarse, his entire person was stunned.
Ming Xi chuckled, "What's wrong? Your eyes look like they've seen a ghost."
Lin Yanbei rubbed his face hard, confirming that he was not dreaming. His Highness had really returned.
"Your Highness!" Yan Xiaoliu suppressed his voice and knelt down with a bang. Lin Yanbei also knelt down.
Their actions attracted many people's attention.
Ming Xi slightly frowned, "What are you doing? Quickly get up."
Yan Xiaoliu also realised that bowing to Ming Xi here would attract attention. He stood up, his eyes still staring at Ming Xi, "Your Highness, where have you been all these years?"
"This is not the place to talk. The temple festival is about to begin, let's go take a look first." Ming Xi said. If he sat down and explained to Yan Xiaoliu where he had been these years, Shang'er would definitely not be happy.
"Alright." Yan Xiaoliu did not object, but when he saw Shang'er, he was stunned.
Shang'er handed the well-protected lantern to Ming Yu, "Luckily I protected it, otherwise it would have been knocked away."
"For me?" Ming Yu was stunned, he took the little white rabbit lantern from Shang'er's hands.
"Ming Xi said you like white rabbits." Shang'er said, "I'm a dragon … … I like dragons, he bought me a dragon lantern."
Lin Yanbei glanced at Shang'er. There was actually a girl who liked a dragon lantern.
At this time, the sound of drums and gongs came from not far away, and fireworks scattered in the sky.
"The temple fair has begun." Ming Yu said. If it weren't for the fact that she had so many things hidden in her heart, she would have been the first to rush over to take a look.
"Ming Xi!" Shang'er shook Ming Xi's hand.
"Okay, okay, I'll show you." Ming Xi said helplessly. He had never been interested in this kind of excitement. In the past, it was to accompany Ming Yu, but now it was for Shang'er.
He looked towards Ming Yu and saw that Ming Yu was standing beside Yan Xiaoliu, her hands tightly gripping his arm. Ming Xi said to Yan Xiaoliu in a low voice, "Then look after Ming Yu. We'll talk about other matters tomorrow."
"Alright." Yan Xiaoliu solemnly nodded. He could tell that Ming Yu's attitude towards Ming Xi was somewhat strange.
Teng Fei, who had been beaten up, was no longer in the same place. The temple fair had regained its liveliness, as if the previous fight had never happened.
Shang'er had lived for countless years, but this was the first time she had seen such an interesting temple fair. She was so excited that she kept squealing.
"Ming Xi, that person looks like An Ge." Shang'er suddenly pointed at the woman sitting on top of the giant lantern. Originally, Bai Hua Fairy's flower was sitting there, but now, a man wearing a red robe was sitting there. His red robe was especially eye-catching in the night. The two beautiful black peonies on his sleeves made him look even more charming. If that man wasn't the extremely flirtatious An Ge, who else could it be?
The corner of Ming Xi's mouth twitched. Why did An Ge sit there?
"That's so fun. Ming Xi, I want to sit there too." Shang'er pulled Ming Xi's hand and said.
"No." Ming Xi firmly refused. He coaxed Shang'er in a low voice, "It's too silly sitting there with everyone looking at you. I'll take you to the wishing river, we'll go play with fireworks."
Shang'er glanced at An Ge. She felt that Ming Xi was right. Sitting there like this was indeed a bit silly.
"Where's Ming Yu?" Shang'er looked around. Ming Yu was already nowhere to be seen.
"She'll be fine with Yan Xiaoliu." Ming Xi said. Whether it was before or now, he trusted Yan Xiaoliu. He felt that he would be able to protect Ming Yu.
Fire Phoenix had already gone to An Ge's side. It was as if it was Bai Hua Fairy's child.
These two … really know how to play.
"Lin Yan Bei, I'll have to trouble you to follow Fire Er. He's not familiar with this place. Don't let him cause any trouble." Ming Xi helplessly said to Lin Yan Bei.
"Yes, Your Highness." Lin Yan Bei respectfully replied.
Ming Xi bitterly smiled, "Don't call me Your Highness. You should know that right now, it's not appropriate to call me that."
Lin Yan Bei seriously said, "To me, you are Your Highness."
"Fine, I'll explain it to you tomorrow." Ming Xi felt that it's impossible to explain it to Lin Yan Bei in just a few words, so he'll talk about it tomorrow.
Ming Xi brought Shang'er in another direction. He looked around as he walked, but still couldn't find Yan Xiaoliu and Ming Yu.
"There are too many people. Why can't we fly up?" Shang'er was almost squeezed a few times. There were so many people on the ground. If they flew up, wouldn't it be much faster?
"There's no one in the human world who can fly. If you really fly up, you'll be a monster in their eyes. At that time, it'll be inconvenient no matter where you go." Ming Xi patiently explained, "They'll be afraid of you and stay away from you. At that time, you won't be able to survive in the city. You can only hide in an uninhabited place. You don't want that kind of life."
Shang'er said, "Wouldn't that be the same as being in Grandpa Long's stomach?"
"More or less." Ming Xi nodded.
"That's too scary." Shang'er shouted. She didn't want to be treated as an outsider.
Ming Xi glanced at her, then led her through the crowd. The two soon arrived at the wishing river. There were many wishing lamps floating in the river. From the bridge, it looked like the stars in the Milky Way. It was extremely beautiful.
"What's that? I want to play too. "Shang'er saw someone put a lamp in the river. She pulled Ming Xi's hand and called out.
"What do you want to wish for?" Ming Xi asked. "That's a wishing lamp. When you put it in the river, close your eyes and make a wish. I heard that you can make your wish come true."
"Can it really come true?" Shang'er asked seriously.
Ming Xi thought for a moment. "It's a beautiful wish."
"Since there are so many people wishing, it might really come true." Shang'er shouted. She pulled Ming Xi's hand and ran to the river.
"Wait for me." Ming Xi said with a smile. He turned around to buy two wishing lamps. "For you."
Shang'er smiled happily. "I'm going to make a wish now. I hope that I can find the homeland of dragons as soon as possible …"
Ming Xi looked at Shang'er in surprise.
Could it be that the dragon race still existed?
