There wasn't time to take Chang Le and Cheng Yang with me. Back at the hotel, I first helped the two girls with dinner. Perhaps they were too tired from running around all afternoon, because the little princess fell asleep in just a few minutes after getting into bed, and even started snoring for the first time ever.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lin Fan was woken up by a phone call while he was still asleep. He looked at the time and it was already 8:30. The call was from his mother.

"Hey Mom, why are you calling so early?"

"Son, where have you been? Haven't you been home lately?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan instantly snapped out of his daze and jumped up. What was going on? Had his mother and the others gone back to the city? Without time to think, he tentatively asked, "What's wrong? How did you know I wasn't home?"

"Here's the thing, Old Wang, who used to live in the building next to ours, somehow found your dad's phone number and called to ask about you. He said he went upstairs to look for you several times, but you weren't there."

"Old Wang? Which Old Wang?" Lin Fan asked instinctively.

"Hey, who else could it be? The one who used to tinker with fake antiques with your dad."

Just as Cao Xueqing finished speaking, Lin Daoyou's unconvinced voice came from the side, "Who said mine is a fake antique? You heard the phone call, didn't you? He wants to buy that jade I bought before for 100,000 yuan this time!"

After their conversation, Lin Fan quickly understood the situation. He guessed that Old Wang had approached him several times before about buying the jade pendant, but he hadn't sold it, so now he had come to his father again.

"Dad, tell him to stop looking for you. I threw away all those antique jade pendants and stuff when I cleaned my room last time I came home."

"What?! You threw it away?!" Lin, the Daoist on the other end of the phone, pounded his chest in regret, "You spendthrift! That was all money!"

Lin Fan had no choice but to passively endure the anger. At the same time, he had to completely thwart Old Wang's determination to find the jade pendant.

So much time had passed since their last encounter that he thought Old Wang had given up, but he never expected that he would actually go to his father's place. This was unacceptable.

"Kid, where did you throw those things? Is there any chance of finding them again?" Fellow Daoist Lin asked somewhat unwillingly.

"It's definitely not going to be found."

Lin Fan decided to go all the way down this path, determined not to tell anyone about the jade pendant and the little princess.

"Oh, what a pity, you're such a spendthrift..." Lin Daoyou on the other end of the phone muttered over and over again.

"Didn't you tell me to decide for myself?" Lin Fan couldn't help but retort. "You were having so much fun playing mahjong back then, and when I asked you if you wanted to keep it, you didn't give a clear answer. Who can you blame for that?"

"Hey, old Lin, you're something else! When did you start carrying your mother around to play mahjong again?"

"No, that happened months ago!"

Hearing the arguing on the other end of the phone, Lin Fan knew his tactic of diverting the trouble had worked. "Um, Mom and Dad, I have something to do. You two keep talking, I'll hang up now!"

After ending the call, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief and stared blankly for a while. After getting up and washing up, he woke up the little princess.

Little Sizi had rested enough and was full of energy after washing up.

When Lin Fan went downstairs to have breakfast, he suddenly remembered Chang Le and Cheng Yang, who were still in the Tang Dynasty. He had to go and bring them over after breakfast.

"Brother Lin Fan, when are we going to buy a conch shell?" The little princess was referring to the conch shell that could be blown.

"Don't rush, let's go pick up my sister and the others after we eat, and then we'll go buy the conch shell, okay?"

"Okay~"

Half an hour later, Lin Fan took the little princess back to the Tang Dynasty and brought Chang Le and Cheng Yang over.

The two princesses were still a little unhappy that Lin Fan had carried them back early last night.

"Brother Lin Fan, you mustn't do that again."

Seeing Chang Le's charming and innocent look, Lin Fan smiled and agreed.

"Lin Fan, let's go!"

"Alright, let's go, I'll take you to buy some conch shells that can make a sound."

After yesterday's torrential rain, the weather in the South China Sea is very sunny today, and the sea breeze blows gently, taking away the heat in the air.

Not long after they left, Lin Fan saw a jewelry store. He went in and asked a question, and the clerk led them to a toy counter.

The three little princesses were overjoyed to see all the different kinds of conch shells inside. They each chose one they liked. As soon as they got their hands on the conch shells, the little princesses couldn't wait to blow on them, but Lin Fan immediately stopped them.

"Sizi, this is a public place, we can't make noise. Let's go to the beach." The beach is open and spacious, so even if we make a lot of noise, it won't seem out of place.

"Okay~ Let's go~"

Strolling to the beach, the sea breeze gently caressed the three little princesses, whose skirts fluttered in the wind. Little Sizi put the conch shell to her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and blew hard, producing a clear, crisp sound.

"Sizi, don't blow too hard when you're blowing."

Children usually have limited lung capacity due to lack of exercise. If they have to use all their strength to blow air every time, the little princess will probably feel dizzy after just a few rounds.

After Lin Fan's reminder, Chang Le and Cheng Yang both controlled the force of their blowing. These conch shells had already been processed, so as long as there was air, they could be blown into a sound.

Then three clear sounds drifted in the sea breeze, and a cruise ship on the distant sea honked its horn, as if it were having a conversation with the three little princesses across the distance.

"Brother Lin Fan, this isn't 'di di di,' it's clearly 'gu gu gu'~" The little princess's eyes sparkled, full of curiosity and doubt.

"Well, it's probably because every conch shell makes a different sound when blown. Listen to your older sister."

Upon hearing this, Chang Le blew the conch shell in her hand again, and the sound was indeed different from that in the little princess's hand.

"Hmm, it really does sound different." The little princess also noticed the difference and said somewhat sullenly, "But my sister's 'Seagull' sounds even better."

Seeing that the little princess was clearly more interested in her conch shell, Chang Le thought for a moment and handed it to the little princess.

"Does Sizi like this one, sister? Then sister will trade with you."

"Really? Thank you, big sister." The little princess happily exchanged the conch shells.

Lin Fan watched from the side. Although Chang Le's behavior was essentially a good thing, he didn't really advocate doing it.

"Sizi, listen to your brother. This time, your sister has switched places with you, but you can't do that again in similar situations, understand?"

Why?

The little princess thought her older sister was happy to switch with her, so it wasn't a problem at all.
