Tao Manwu didn't know that if someone noticed her, she would be regarded as the reincarnation of the Living Buddha of Buddhism and the Celestial Being of Taoism. Unfortunately, Xie Ling didn't know why he didn't know. If he paid attention to her Heart of Colorful Glass instead of His Royal Highness, she might be able to return to the peak of the Finger Mystery State. As for whether she would be counterattacked by fate after that, she believed that Xie Ling, the devil, would not care about it because he was obsessed with killing Luo Yang.
Hsu Fengnian didn't interrupt the little girl's examination behind him. He waited for her to withdraw her gaze before he turned around and said with a smile, "After breakfast, I'll take you to the temple fair."
Tao Manwu looked puzzled. She didn't understand why he was so merciful. In her opinion, this bad guy who didn't show his true face was shrewd and unscrupulous. He made her suffer a lot. Why did he change his mind after one night?
Hsu Fengnian chuckled and said, "I've already thought about it. When the time comes, I'll leave Flying Fox City alone. I won't take you, a burden, out of the city. Don't worry, it won't affect your food and clothes. It'll definitely be more comfortable than following me. Since we're still together, I'll pretend to be a good person for a few days so that you won't hate me. I heard that people like you can see through people's hearts. Whenever you can't forget someone, God will definitely echo. I still want to live well. It's not good to be on tenterhooks all day long. "
The little girl bit her lips and stared at him. She was sure that he wasn't lying and really intended to leave her in Flying Fox City. The little girl, who should have been glad to escape from danger, didn't know how to hide her feelings. She looked gloomy.
Hsu Fengnian didn't add fuel to the fire. He led her downstairs. After eating the stomach warming breakfast, they walked to Suguan Alley in the west of the city. Along the way, the little girl's face was cold. She didn't look good to Hsu Fengnian who had a new cold and ruthless impression. However, the joys and sorrows of a child's experience were like a jug of new wine, with the taste floating above it. It was not like the taste of an adult's old wine, which had settled at the bottom of the wine jug. If one did not drink it all, the spoon would not be clean. Hsu Fengnian used a stick of sugar-coated haws and a small lacquer box with a spider spinning web to make Tao Manwu happy. The box was named "Qiqiao". It was also an exquisite toy from the Central Plains to Beimang. He stored the small spider in the box and observed how dense the web was in the next few days. It was a small item that most women in the Spring and Autumn Period would buy during the Qixi Festival. He put a small piece of paper in the box and wrote the name of the man he liked on it. The spider silk was a red rope from the Moon God, which was a good sign. If the web was dense and luxuriant, the woman would naturally be happy to see it.
Hsu Fengnian's strides were big. After two trips, he was used to all kinds of performances and sales at temple fairs. He disliked the little girl who was walking slowly with her eyes wide open, so he simply let her ride on his neck. Tao Manwu was sulking with this guy, so he didn't care about his ladylike manners and rode on his neck. He put his little head on his big head and didn't even give him a stick of sugar-coated haws to eat. He wanted him to die of hunger.
For a while, they watched the simple shadow puppet show, which was about the border war between Liang Mang and Liang Mang. It was reasonable for the generals of Beimang, including Huang Songpu, to be sculpted to have a dignified appearance. However, the King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao, and the little man Chen Zhibao were sculpted to be ferocious and ugly, which was very pleasing to the people of Flying Fox City. Hsu Fengnian laughed it off and didn't wrongly accuse Xu Xiao. However, Chen Zhibao, who was a handsome soldier in white in his prime, was sculpted to be such an unsightly and ugly character, which was unfair to the people of Flying Fox City. The puppeteer played the role of the storyteller. Since the paper characters were the most powerful military officials on the border between the two dynasties, they were inseparable from the raging flames of war. This was slightly different from the storytellers in wine shops and teahouses who talked about the events before the war. When it came to deliberately exaggerating the intense war, the audience was unable to take their eyes off it. They held their breath in rapt attention, completely immersed in the play.
Hsu Fengnian had just walked away when he saw Tantai Chang 'an and his younger sister, Tantai Konghou, walking with several retainers in the midst of the bustling stream of people. Tantai Konghou's hand was also carrying an ingenious spider box. However, it was a red sandalwood box. The amount of silver it consumed was far from being comparable to the wooden box in Tao Manwu's hand. The spiders in the box were even more different. Presumably, the spiders of the city overseer's third son would, as a matter of course, be even more ingenious. After the two sides looked at each other, Tantai Chang 'an's smile was brilliant. He took the lead and walked over. Turning his head to his younger sister, he proudly said: "How is it? I guessed right. Xu Qi will definitely come to the temple fair."
Tantai Konghou glared at Xu Qi and helplessly said: "Isn't it just losing a tael of silver to you in a bet? What are you so proud of?"
Tantai Chang 'an laughed heartily and said: "Second brother won someone else's hundred taels of gold and won't necessarily be happy. Maybe it's them who are secretly happy. However, earning a copper coin from you is worth being happy."
Hsu Fengnian was even more helpless than Tantai Konghou. This Flying Fox City's number one debauchee's second young master was truly a divine strategist. He did not know why, but Hsu Fengnian truly believed that Tantai Chang 'an was here to wait for the hare and not to have someone spy on him. On one hand, with Hsu Fengnian's current mysterious five senses, he could easily detect special gazes in the surroundings. Moreover, he did not have any ill feelings towards this unscrupulous child who had the ambition to be a countryside teacher. This could not be called a hero sympathizing with each other, it could be considered a debauchee sympathizing with each other. Especially after Tao Manwu did not have any abnormalities, Hsu Fengnian was even more relieved. Tantai Chang 'an had a straightforward temperament. Seeing Tao Manwu's cute appearance, he reached out to pinch his cheeks. After being dodged, he did not mind and made fun of his younger sister. "This younger sister of mine keeps on saying that she wants to marry me as a wife, but in fact, she secretly admires a handsome young master from Helian's family. Didn't she just buy a strange item? Later, she will certainly secretly write down that handsome young master's name like a thief. If I don't see brother Xu Qi today, I won't expose her thoughts. She will climb the wall in the middle of the night to steal that slip of paper and throw it away. I'll let her cry to death in front of a cobweb the next day."
The red-faced Tantai Konghou fiercely stomped on Tantai Chang 'an's foot. The latter felt a burst of pain and sucked in a cold breath. He could only dare to be angry but did not dare to speak to this spoiled younger sister.
After strolling around together for an hour, Tantai Chang 'an was pulled away by the impatient Tantai Konghou. The second young master and Hsu Fengnian had an appointment to drink at Guanghan House in the evening and was forcibly dragged away by his younger sister. Looking at this pair of brother and sister who had a harmonious relationship, Hsu Fengnian stood in place and did not move his feet for a long time.
Tao Manwu reached out her small hand and rubbed his brows.
