"Pan’er, hurry up and eat. It’s still warm! I’ve just picked out two of the best baked sweet potatoes, their skins are golden-yellow, and inside it’s soft, starchy and sweet! Try it!"
As he spoke, he took out a baked sweet potato from the oil-paper, carefully removing the skin to reveal the purple-red flesh of the potato inside.
The intoxicating aroma wafted over with the wind as he delightedly lifted it to her mouth, attempting to feed her.
He was hot, puffing with a cheerful smile, occasionally pinching his earlobes while laughing heartily and joyously!
Mysteriously, Su Pan’er looked at Young Master Zhao.
Young Master Zhao was talking to Mr. Jiang and seed to imdiately notice her gaze. He turned to look at her, warmth as always in his eyes.
Such a sharp feeling, this man is definitely not simple!
Su Pan’er turned her head to avoid his gaze.
"Pan’er, what’s wrong? Is this sweet potato not tasty, or has it cooled down?"
Observing Su Pan’er’s slightly furrowed brow, Qin Yi instinctively wanted to touch her forehead but realized his hands were full and quickly rubbed his face against her cheek: "But it doesn’t feel hot! Pan’er, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I’m just a little thirsty, so..."
She hurriedly found an excuse.
"So you are thirsty, no wonder you can’t eat the baked sweet potato."
Qin Yi took her words as truth, quickly placing the baked sweet potato in her hand, "Wait a mont, I’ll go fetch so water for you."
Saying that, he turned and ran off.
Su Pan’er wanted to call out, but Qin Yi had already disappeared into the bustling crowd.
She instinctively turned to look at Zhao Hong just to lock eyes with him, his eyes full of a mocking smile. She felt increasingly uncomfortable and instantly turned around to walk away, leaving the small pavilion and chasing after Qin Yi’s receding figure.
Behind her, Little Feng took a glance at Zhao Hong and then quickly followed Su Pan’er’s footsteps.
Su Pan’er’s mind was in turmoil.
She subconsciously followed Qin Yi’s steps.
However, the roads near the dock were bustling, a continuous flow of people and goods, crowds everywhere.
By the ti she realized she had lost track of Qin Yi, she had already found herself at the end of a street.
Sitting against a wall, she looked at the deserted street, contemplating on events of the past, gradually sinking into her own thoughts.
Suddenly, a pair of tiny feet appeared before her eyes.
Su Pan’er was startled, she looked up to see Little Feng standing in front of her.
Little Feng, with a flustered face and a blushing one, stuttered: "That man is bad, you shouldn’t listen to him."
That man?
Su Pan’er instantly understood, "You heard our conversation?"
Little Feng hesitated for a mont and then nodded.
Seeing Su Pan’er falling silent again, he shrank over, quietly sitting next to her.
"Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."
Little Feng’s sudden words turned her to look at him. He looked at her earnestly, "My sister says, everyone has secrets. So secrets, we can’t share with anyone, even if they are as close as sisters, or parents."
"Pfft!"
Su Pan’er couldn’t help laughing, "Despite your young age, you seem to know a lot!"
Little Feng’s eyes sparkled with pride, "Of course, because, because, because... I’m the pillar of our family..." His voice trailed off, the sparkle in his eyes gradually fading.
It seed this child also had secrets he didn’t want to share!
"Ok, keep this secret for . In exchange, I won’t ask about your origins."
Su Pan’er gave his skinny shoulder a pat, "I can take you back to Shengjing, likewise, when the opportunity cos, you must take around Shengjing. Deal?"
"Sure! If I get the chance, I will certainly take you around."
Little Feng nodded vigorously, a rare smile appearing on his face.
Who would have thought, when he first arrived, his clothes were in tatters and he was covered in mud, you couldn’t see his true features. But now dressed in new clothes, although they were obviously oversized, his handso appearance was noticeable.
Seeing Su Pan’er looking at his clothes, Little Feng felt a bit embarrassed and lowered his head, "My...my clothes were torn..."
He had hidden himself in a room and Qin Yi had mistaken him for a child saved by Pan’er. Qin Yi had kindly arranged for him to wash up and given him new clothes to wear.
However, his small fra in clothes bought for Qin Yi’s size naturally hung loosely on him. The upper garnt had now beco a long tunic, hanging loosely over his shoulders.
"Haha! Co on, let’s go buy you so clothes that fit. Then we’ll head back to the ship to rest!"
Su Pan’er dusted off her buttocks, leading little Feng who appeared bright-eyed, to go buy so clothes.
With high spirits, Su Pan’er brought Little Feng and bought him two sets of clothes. Seeing a refreshed Little Feng, she was satisfied and paid. They then went into the next shop to buy shoes. They visited several different shops before they found a pair that fit Little Feng perfectly.
Seeing a restaurant nearby, the two who had been shopping till they were hungry naturally headed in to indulge themselves.
What they didn’t know was that at that mont, the scene at the dock was completely different!
Poor Qin Yi ca back with water only to find that a certain young lady was missing and instantly went berserk!
He turned into a furious lion, almost flipping the ground around him!
Just as Qin Yi was frantically searching for Su Pan’er, calling her na, a sudden large group of horsen appeared, attacking Young Master Zhao and his n.
Zhao’s n fiercely resisted! But they were no match for the horsen, the outco quickly evident.
They could only retreat while protecting him!
Qin Yi couldn’t find the little lady which left a fla burning in his heart. Seeing soone attacking Zhao, he beca more infuriated.
He spun around, twin swords dancing, flying into the fray.
With each sweep, there were cries and screams!
Like a tiger among sheep, he was unstoppable, victorious wherever he went!
Alone, he carved a bloody path through the encirclent of tens of n, swiftly approaching Zhao.
But just as he was killing left and right, a loud shout ca from behind him!
"Watch out!"
Su Pan’er was originally happily dining with Little Feng when she suddenly felt a jolt in her heart and was taken aback.
Looking up at the street, she noticed a lot more people, everyone was chattering about sothing. She was confused and decided to listen in.
"Did you know? Another person died at the dock! What a tragedy!"
"Looks like it’s a gang fight. Sobody who went to the scene said it was a bloody ss, bodies everywhere and blood all over the place. Even the governnt office has been alerted, sending a large number of officials there!"
