Ark, I got cold a little early

Is it sealed?!

Shuo covered his swollen head, but was surprised to find that he was unable to use his authority.

The person on the side shook his fist and smiled at the young version of Zhongyue, also known as Shuo, who was sitting on the ground with his hands covering his head.

"You should know your identity, right, Shuo?"

Shuo ignored Hongyu and just stared at him silently.

"As a fragment left behind by 'Years', if you're not careful, you might be hunted down by the entire Great Flame once again. Even if you're incredibly powerful and believe you can't be defeated and killed by the Great Flame, you'll never have a peaceful day, not to mention..."

Hongyu walked over to Shuo, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "You don't want your brothers and sisters to end up like I described, do you? The eldest brother of the 'year-old' group? You may have your own confidence... but what about your brothers and sisters?"

Shuo slapped away Hongyu's hand on his shoulder and said coldly

"I am not interested in revenge for 'Sui' against Dayan, I assure you."

"This is not something you guarantee will be useful, but a question of what the world will think, what the emperor will think, and what Dayan will think." Hongyu did not react much to Shuo's youthful vigor, and continued to speak with a smile.

"Once Da Yan believes he can no longer control your fate, suspicion and distrust will grow in your hearts. What your future will be like then... will no longer be something you can determine on your own."

Shuo was stunned. He had just been born in this world not too long ago and did not quite understand the complexity of human beings. He just felt that Hongyu's words were unexpectedly convincing.

"Tsk... So let's make it clear in advance what you want. I can't agree to any excessive requests. Also, let them go." Shuo said, pointing at the other eleven pieces of bubbles that were beaten into dragon bubbles by the "Personality Correction Fist" and were still being hung by Hongyu.

"Okay." Hong Yu took out the governor's token that had been hanging on his waist and showed it to Shuo. "I am the governor of the Suitai of the Great Yan Division, responsible for managing all matters related to the 'Sui'. I think it's just a matter of a word to protect you."

"I want to see if anyone dares to say that you have the intention of rebellion after I, the governor, say so." Hong Yu smiled and patted Shuo's shoulder. "Of course, I trust you very much, Shuo."

Shuo still pushed Hongyu's hand away, then looked at his eyes, which were wrapped in a piece of silk and could not see, and said:

"You said all that in the beginning just to get me to go with you now, right? Well, what do you need me to do? As a weapon to be used in war, or..."

"do not know!"

"?" Shuo was stunned. "What did you say?"

"I said I don't know. I am only responsible for taking care of you. That is to say, as long as I am here, you can do whatever you want unless you cause any earth-shattering trouble." Hongyu looked at Shuo with his usual smile.

"Anyway, I have the final say in the Simatai, and it has nothing to do with the emperor. So as long as you don't rebel or destroy the world, you can do whatever you want."

Looking at Shuo's increasingly dull face, Hongyu didn't bother to explain anything to him anymore. He just said, "Just follow me and you'll know."

Afterwards, Hongyu carried his "fishing rod" and the dragon bubble on it and left without looking back.

Shuo, after a brief pause, hurriedly caught up with Hongyu, who had not yet left. He asked Hongyu, "Where are you going?"

"do not know!"

----------------

"You seem to have something to say about every institution in Da Yan. Over the years, I've heard you criticize almost every institution in Da Yan, except for Simaitai."

Lin looked at Wei Yanwu, who was hesitating across from him, and urged him, "Hurry up and stop coming to me all the time with nothing to do but complain about your recent troubles."

"If I come to you for nothing, wouldn't that be a good thing? If I have to come to you to discuss everything, then Longmen will probably have a big accident." Wei Yanwu touched his dragon beard and smiled.

"Heh, I don't think that the discovery of your hidden money by Madam Wenyue would lead to a major accident at Longmen..." Lin said disdainfully.

Tsk… How could it not be a big deal that the mayor of Longmen ended up kneeling on a washboard for hiding his private funds?!

Wei Yanwu's face froze, and then he coughed and changed the subject.

"Sisuitai?" Wei Yanwu's expression changed. "I can't really say I have any opinion on Simuitai. When I was little, my brother and I often hid from the Grand Tutor and went to Simuitai to play."

"The discipline of Simaitai is the most open in the entire Dayan officialdom. Some of them don't even wear official uniforms when attending court..." Wei Yanwu recalled.

"Oh? Won't the emperor be angry?" Lin asked curiously.

"I told you, my younger brother would sneak to Simuitai when he was young. Perhaps most emperors couldn't stand the solemn atmosphere in the palace when they were young and ran to Simuitai, right?" Wei Yanwu said with a smile.

"I heard that when the Simaitai was first established, the first governor never wore official uniform and rarely even attended court. There's even no portrait of that legendary figure in the palace."

"Oh? I heard that the current governor of Si Sui Tai is the second fragment of 'Sui'. Doesn't he have a portrait of the first governor?"

"He got it from his sister, the most experienced painter in Da Yan. Even my brother rarely sees her... I guess only a few lucky people and a few people of my age can collect her paintings."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Lin said, "Wei Lao Er, did you steal the child?"

"Cough cough..."

Chapter 6: Sui Jia

"Wang, it's your turn." Shuo made his own move and signaled to the person opposite.

The young man in front of him with long black hair had dragon horns similar to Shuo's, and similar markings on his arms, except that Shuo's were brown and the other's were black.

"...Brother, did you steal a piece while I was distracted?" The young man glanced at the chessboard and said to Shuo speechlessly, "I thought stealing a piece was a trick only used by children, and only masters would use it..."

"Cough cough! Ah...hahaha..." Shuo coughed twice and put the chess piece he had picked up back to its original place.

While mumbling, "Wang, I think you didn't notice when the master stole your child... By the way, where is the master?"

Hearing this topic, the boy named Wang said with an even more helpless expression, "He took Xiaonian and Xiaoxi to fly kites...but..."

"Just what?"

"The one hanging on the kite is Ling..." Wang covered his face. "When the master woke up this morning, he found Ling, who had drunk alcohol last night, in the yellow wine jar in the backyard... and then he fished her out..."

"Then the master said he had found a way to quickly dry the ling, and then he took Xiaonian and Xiaoxi to tie the ling to a kite and flew it... and Ling... wasn't even awake yet."

Wang recalled that Hongyu seemed to have said at the time, "Of course she can't wake up so quickly. She has been soaking in the wine jar for a whole night and has turned into a blue glutinous rice ball. Besides, dragon bubbles are very fun..."

It seemed as if the scene of Hongyu fiddling with the kite and a soft ball of Ling bubbles, while smiling and teasing himself, the only one in the audience who was worried about Ling's safety, was right in front of him. Wang sighed again.

As for the two dragon bubbles, one red and one black, on Hongyu's shoulders...

Well, not to mention the most mischievous Xiaonian, even Xiaoxi, who is usually the most quiet, had a very excited expression at that time.

The two short little hands kept patting Hongyu's shoulders as if they wanted to try to put the elder sister into the sky.

Hearing this, Shuo felt helpless and then held his forehead with his hand.

"Sir, he... seems to have always been like this, right?"

"How should I know? Shouldn't you, Big Brother, have spent the most time with Mr. when you were conscious?"

Wang didn't answer, but just looked at Shuo and said, "But, I did hear from the master that you didn't seem to get along very well with the master in the beginning."

"Ha, that's true. With Mr.'s personality, no one can get along well with him at the beginning, right?" Shuo commented pointedly.

"That fake smile, and those lifeless eyes..." Shuo recalled his first impression of Hongyu. "After spending enough time with him, anyone could tell that he seemed to have a major emotional flaw."

"So, sir, his somewhat bad personality is like a kind of... self-protection mechanism for himself? He doesn't want to have in-depth communication with too many people to prevent too many people from establishing connections with him?" Wang took over the conversation and analyzed while pinching his chin.

"Well, probably."

"But if he hates others knowing about his emotional disorder, then why did he bring us along?" Wang asked again. "As a group of immortal beasts...sir, by doing this, he will let us know about this sooner or later, right?"

"Who knows?" Shuo looked up at the outside of the house. The sky was already a little dusky. "After all, Mr.'s strange behavior... we never really understood the reason, right?"

Shuo sighed. He didn't know much about diseases after all. He could only look to his brothers and sisters, Dragon Paopao, who had not yet transformed into human form, to see if any of them had the authority in charge of medical care.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye since Hongyu took Shuo to wander around in Dayan.

During this period, the other fragments of the Sui family also woke up one after another, but the only one who stabilized himself and turned into a human form was the second one in the Sui family - Wang.

The other fragments still retain their dragon bubble shape.

During this year of getting along, for some reason Wang always maintained a high degree of respect for Hongyu and called him "Sir", and even Shuo's way of addressing Hongyu was unconsciously influenced by Wang and changed to "Sir".

Time flies...

Looking at the orange-red clouds on the mountainside as the sun sets in the distance, Shuo sighed.

"Shuo!!!! Nian released Ling into the ravine!!! Quickly bring Wang with you and go find him!" Hongyu's voice pierced through Shuo's ears, instantly shattering Shuo's original melancholy.

An indescribable feeling of helplessness and indifference emerged in Shuo's heart. Shuo smiled helplessly, pulled up his sweaty face, and looked at the back mountain.

"coming!"

"By the way...didn't they go flying kites this morning?" Wang, who was being pulled by Shuo, scratched his cheek and asked with a hint of surprise.

"But... the sun is about to set, and the gentleman said that Ling was put in the mountains by Nian... Could it be that Ling has been floating in the sky for a whole day?!" Shuo's eyes widened instantly, and then he silently quickened his pace.

Thank you for your hard work, Ling.

"Sir! Which direction!"

"I do not know!"

————————————————————

At the family dinner held once every ten years...

"That old man?" Ling took the rice wine that Shu brought her and asked curiously, "Do you want to hear about what happened between us and the old man before you turned into a human?"

"Yeah." Shu nodded. She opened the rice wine she brought and took a sip before saying, "I'm just a little curious. We don't get together very often, so I thought I'd take advantage of this gathering to ask you about some interesting things about Mr. that I don't know."

"Hey, that old guy... Actually, there's not much to talk about. After all, the interesting things he did are pretty much the same as what you and I know..."

"I guess I know a little less than you. After all, according to that old guy, I'm just a bad girl who stays out all night every day..." Ling drank big gulps of wine, as if he wanted to get himself drunk on purpose.

"Really, that old guy..."

"Sister, drinking like this is not good for your stomach." Shu wanted to persuade his elder sister to stop her bold way of drinking, although he had never succeeded once in all these years.

"Oh! Right, right! I remembered something!" Ling suddenly stopped pouring wine into his mouth and smiled at Shu, "There was something you went to Dahuang City, and I happened to see it after returning from your travels."

Ling suddenly pointed to a bottle of hot sauce on the dining table that was almost exclusively eaten by Nian, and said, "See that? It's the kind of hot sauce that Xiao Nian used to pull a successful prank."

"Well, what do you mean?" Shu followed Ling's finger and looked at the dining table.

The remaining ten fragments were lying on the dining table, and Nian had been secretly pouring the bottle of hot sauce into Xi's bowl.

I remember...it seems that only Mr. can make that bottle of chili sauce?

Did he teach it to Nian or the youngest brother?

As Shu's thoughts gradually drifted away, Ling began to tell him about Hongyu's past.

"That old guy really likes to eat the candied haws bought on the street, right? One day, Xiaonian covered the candied haws he bought with chili oil when he wasn't paying attention. Hey! It happened that the old guy didn't pay much attention that day, so he ate it, and then he kept coughing... Hahaha! Isn't it funny?" Ling smiled and took another sip of wine.

After hearing this, Shu just chuckled and didn't say anything.

But what she was thinking was...

Yuta...was that intentional? After all, it was just a simple prank that could be detected by just smelling it...was it just to make Xiaonian happy?

But even though your sister was smiling so happily, I could sense that she seemed to have a deep resentment towards Yu...

Although I also have some resentment towards Yu...

Shu's eyes suddenly became gloomy and dangerous.

After all, the kind of guy who leaves quietly should...

That's outrageous.

Chapter 7 Shuo: She lacks love?!

Looking at Hongyu's loose posture, Shuoping, who was already sweating profusely, concentrated his attention and waited for the right moment to punch Hongyu intentionally.

Hongyu dodged Shuo's punch by a hair's breadth by leaning sideways. The wind from the fist blew up his long hair, and pulled Shuo's outstretched arm forward, causing Shuo's chassis to become unstable and lose balance.

"Solid." As Hongyu put his index finger and middle finger together and pointed at Shuo's side, Shuo felt an electric current spreading from his waist to his whole body and made him unable to move.

Hongyu's finger was placed just a millimeter in front of Shuo's eyes, and this action also announced that this competition would still end with Shuo's defeat.

"Okay, okay! The winner is decided! Yu! Take me out to play quickly!" Ling Jianshuo, who was fixed in place by Hongyu, immediately urged him.

"How many games have Big Brother and Mr. fought in the past few years? It seems like Big Brother has never won..." Wang was also watching the game and made some remarks that slightly hit Shuo's self-confidence.

"Well, I don't know why big brother chose to practice martial arts... and compete with Yu every day. Big brother's authority has been sealed by Yu, how can he possibly defeat that monster Yu... Big brother deserves to be abused." Ling was stroking his tail boredly and muttering to Shuo who was slumped on the ground.

Why do I feel like it's because Big Brother took up the time you and your husband spend together that you said Big Brother deserved it...
