Chapter 429 The Infected Man in Black Robes
"It's still so early. I heard Tianhuang City is very lively at night. How about we go out for a stroll together?" Xiao Tian said with a slight smile.

Xiao Tian had overheard what Liu Fei had said to Xuan Yi and the others, but because she was accompanying him to a banquet, she hadn't gone out. Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Tian decided to take them out for a stroll.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi's eyes flashed with surprise. She hadn't expected that Xiao Tian would want to go out with her as soon as he had some free time after the banquet. He must have heard what they had said earlier. Xuan Yi's opinion of Xiao Tian improved considerably.

If there were a favorability rating above Xuan Yi's head, it would definitely show an increase.

She nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips, before quickly suppressing it and saying casually, "Let's ask Xiaomeng'er and the others first."

"We're ready, let's go!!" As soon as Xuan Yi finished speaking, two small figures arrived beside her. At this moment, both of them had their skirts neatly arranged, looking as if they were ready to set off at any time.

Xuan Yi looked down at the two of them and couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Tian saw Xuan Yi's smile and couldn't help but glance at her again: "You look pretty when you smile. Smile more in the future."

Xuan Yi paused slightly, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks. She quickly regained her composure, turning her face away to avoid looking at Xiao Tian, ​​and coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment.

"Stop with the useless talk, let's go. Xiaomeng and the other girl are getting impatient."

Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng, who were standing nearby, overheard Xuan's words and whispered, "We're not in a hurry either, and Aunt Xuan's face seems to be red."

Xuan Yi immediately glared at them: "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't buy you any good food tonight."

The two immediately covered their mouths and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian smiled and shook his head: "Then let's set off."

Xiao Tian and his three companions headed out of the manor along the same path they had come from. Liu Qing and Liu Fei, having heard that Xiao Tian and the others were leaving, planned to arrange for some guards to follow them so as not to disturb their enjoyment.

However, Xiao Tian refused outright. He didn't like having guards with him when he went out, as it felt like having a bunch of light bulbs around. Besides, these guards weren't very strong, and he might even have to protect them instead.

Considering Xiao Tian's strength, Liu Qing didn't bring up the matter again, but instead waved for the selected guards to return to their respective duties.

He also mentioned to Xiao Tian that the scenery in Tianhuang City was particularly beautiful at night, and then Liu Qing left with Liu Fei.

Afterwards, Xiao Tian and his companions left the Liu family's manor and walked along the bluestone-paved streets toward the most bustling part of the city.

Not long after Xiao Tian and the others left the Liu family manor, a figure dressed as a guard from the Cheng family in the east of the city quickly entered, knelt down on one knee in front of a thin young man, and said something.

The man then led a group of guards toward the gate.

……

Xiao Tian and his companions arrived at the busiest street in the city center. Hundreds of shops lined the street, each with various lanterns hanging in front of it. Some of these lanterns resembled blooming lotus flowers, while others looked like birds spreading their wings. They were all different, like a hundred flowers blooming in competition.

Instead of pure white moonstone, a special kind of candle was placed inside. The candlelight shone through the thin gauze, casting a soft glow that illuminated the entire street. Different colored gauzes reflected different colored candlelight, making the whole street appear colorful and even more beautiful.

The streets were bustling with people, filled with shouts and noise.

"Aunt Xuan, look, this place is so beautiful!" Xiao Ling grabbed Aunt Xuan's hand, her face full of excitement, her eyes looking everywhere, almost too busy to take it all in.

"This is the veiled street that Liu Qing mentioned, and it's one of the most distinctive places in Tianhuang City. Let's go in and take a look, and experience the everyday life of the city," Xiao Tian said softly to Xuan Yi, pointing to the huge archway not far away. Xuan Yi, upon hearing the phrase "everyday life of the city," realized it had been a long time since she had felt that same warmth.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng eagerly grabbed Xuan Yi's hands: "Xuan Yi, let's go play! I want to eat this!!"

Xiao Ling pointed to a shop where the owner was skillfully flipping meat skewers over charcoal, and the aroma of grilled meat wafted around.

After saying that, the two of them pulled Xuan Yi toward the barbecue stall, standing on tiptoe and looking at the oily and fragrant barbecue with their big round eyes.

Xiao Tian looked at the three figures and smiled indulgently, then followed behind them.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng each held a meat skewer in their hands as they walked down the street, constantly looking left and right at the shops ahead, occasionally taking a bite of the large skewer, their eyes full of satisfaction.

Xuan Yi was pulled by the two little ones and headed into the street.

……

Xuan Yi quietly followed half a step behind Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng, watching them flit through the streets like two cheerful little sparrows, and her gaze softened unconsciously.

She seemed to be infected by the two children's joyful mood, and her face was full of smiles. It was fortunate that she was wearing a veil, otherwise she might have charmed many people.

As for Xiao Tian, ​​he wandered aimlessly behind them, acting as their bodyguard.

Xiao Ling skipped and pointed to the sugar painting stall ahead, her eyes sparkling: "Mengmeng, look! That rabbit sugar painting is so pretty!"

Then Xiao Ling grabbed Xiao Meng's hand and walked towards the sugar painting shop, saying urgently, "Let's buy that! It looks so pretty and delicious!!"

"Then let's hurry over and see if there are any other patterns!" Xiao Meng's eyes also showed delight.

The two chatted back and forth, their voices clear and melodious as they laughed and jostled their way to the stall.

As Xuan Yi watched their skipping figures, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips. She realized that she herself had once been just as innocent as them.

After buying the sugar paintings, the two turned around and came to Xuan Yi. Xiao Ling's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled and held up the sugar painting to Xuan Yi: "Aunt Xuan, this is for you."

Xiao Meng shook her sugar painting and said, "Yeah, yeah, let's eat together!"

Looking at the two smiling faces, Xuan Yi felt a strange warmth in his heart.

She gently took a bite out of each of their sugar paintings, tenderly patted their heads, and smiled, "Alright, you can eat the rest."

"Alright then," seeing that Xuan Yi had no intention of eating any more after taking a single bite, the two little ones withdrew their hands and began to enjoy the sugar painting with smiles.

The two then skipped and hopped forward, completely forgetting about their father. Shopping and delicious food were far more important than their father.

Just as Xuan Yi was about to catch up with the two little ones, suddenly, a string of red things appeared in front of her.
