Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Mo Hanyu looked at the wooden board in front of him with a complicated expression.

To be honest, he had no confidence in this kind of thing. Mo Hanyu was good at close combat and had basically no experience with this kind of throwing tools. Because of his attributes, he could directly create ice cubes and other items to attack with telekinesis, so there was no need to practice this kind of throwing skills.

Mo Hanyu secretly glanced at Qin Xiao and became even more nervous when he found that he was looking at him.

"Come on." Qin Yun'an next to him made a cheering gesture to him.

Mo Hanyu: ...

The moment Mo Hanyu threw it, Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows.

As expected, only one hit the third prize, the remaining three missed the target and one was out of bounds.

Mo Hanyu's face gradually turned red as he threw more and more swords. When he threw the fifth one, his face was completely red. Seeing that the last one was inserted outside the thirteenth boundary, Mo Hanyu pursed his lips, and even his forehead turned pink.

When Qin Yun'an saw this result, he couldn't help laughing.

Mo Hanyu: ...

Mo Hanyu ignored him, turned his head away, silently took a few steps back, and said nothing.

Mo Hanshang seemed to find this interesting, and leaned over to look at Mo Hanyu's expression, even asking knowingly, "Why is your face so red?"

Mo Hanyu: ...

"No." Mo Hanyu tried to keep a straight face and avoid his sight. After a pause, he couldn't help but cover his face and said, "Don't look at it. I didn't throw these away very often."

Hearing this, Mo Hanshang laughed out loud, and his eyes turned into crescents.

Mo Hanyu couldn't stand it anymore and hid behind Qin Xiao to avoid Mo Hanshang's gaze.

Seeing this, Mo Hanshang stopped teasing him, turned his head and winked at Qin Jinyi, as if he really found Mo Hanyu very interesting.

Qin Xiao glanced at the person clinging to his shoulders, feeling somewhat helpless: "You..."

"I know, I didn't throw it well." Mo Hanyu raised his eyes, his face was flushed, as if he had put on rouge, the bright red spread to his neck, his shy blue eyes were bright and his long eyelashes moved slightly, and in a trance he thought that the white feather-like eyelashes were also stained with a little crimson.

Mo Hanyu pursed his lips, looked at Qin Xiao, and his face became even redder.

"..." Qin Xiao looked at him, his expression revealing nothing in his mind.

After a pause, he said seriously, "You threw it very well."

Mo Hanyu:?

Mo Hanyu looked at him in surprise and was about to say something.

"Look, this helps him find confidence." Qin Xiao tapped his chin and motioned for Mo Hanyu to look. "There is no faster way than this."

Qin Yun'an confidently threw down the last one and looked at the result on the target - all five were on the target. He smiled at Mo Hanyu.

Mo Hanyu: ...

Mo Hanyu's eyes darkened instantly, and he looked at Qin Xiao dimly: "Why can't you be more subtle in your sarcasm?"

Qin Xiao turned his head without changing his expression: "I'm afraid you won't understand."

Mo Hanyu: ...

Mo Hanyu: "Qin Xiao."

Qin Xiao: "Hmm?"

"You'd better get all five within the second path." Mo Hanyu's face was slightly cold, and he said seriously, "Otherwise I will really laugh at you."

Qin Xiao: ...

“… Actually, it’s not—”

"Come on." Mo Hanyu patted his shoulder with a smile without waiting for him to finish.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao looked at Mo Hanyu's expression changing as fast as turning the pages of a book, and felt a little amused.

Qiongqi, who had been lying on his neck, couldn't help but chuckle, opened his eyes, and looked at him with interest.

Qin Xiao walked to the stall, looked at the remaining ten, picked up one of them, looked at the empty wooden board, and thought for a while.

The distance from the wooden board to the stall is about ten meters. The darts should be hollow and very light, and most ordinary people’s wrist strength is not enough to throw them to the target location.

The shape of the dart is a typical prismatic dart with a blunt edge, which should be designed to avoid scratches.

Qin Xiao estimated and threw it, then looked at the wooden board in front of him, pinched it with two fingers, exerted force on his wrist, and threw it out with the standard backhand horizontal swing of throwing a hidden weapon.

The dart drew a streak of silver light in the air and hit the center of the circle exactly.

Mo Hanshang raised his eyebrows.

Qin Xiao threw three darts in a row, and without exception, all of them hit the center of the circle. The three darts were like blooming flowers, piercing the same point from front to back.

After Qin Xiao threw three times, he paused, and the next two hit the second circle.

"...I almost passed the second level." Qin Xiao looked at Mo Hanyu and smiled at him, "That was a close call."

Mo Hanyu: ...

"..." Qin Yun'an looked at him hesitantly, and after a moment of silence, he said from the bottom of his heart, "You are so pretentious."

Qin Xiao couldn't help himself for a moment, he turned his head and smiled with the corners of his mouth, then covered his mouth to hide it.

Qin Jinyi looked at the target. He had just weighed the darts and knew that the weight of this one was deliberately made light by the store owner, but he couldn't say anything. After all, doing business also requires some tricks. If a normal child doesn't use attributes, it would be difficult to throw it to that distance, let alone hit the target. The darts thrown by Qin Xiao were not only accurate, but also penetrated to the right depth. The depth of the five darts was exactly the same, and it was obvious that he had been specially trained.

Qin Jinyi looked at Qin Xiao who was chuckling, his eyes slightly deep, but he didn't say anything.

In the last five rounds, each person only had one more throw. Qin Xiao took the initiative to give up his throw and gave it to Mo Hanyu.

Mo Hanyu did not refuse, and this time he went straight into the five paths.

After the throwing, Mo Hanshang and Qin Jinyi didn't care about the gifts. They didn't throw them to the center, so they just didn't want them. Qin Yun'an saw them like this, and after a moment of silence, he chose to imitate them reluctantly and didn't want them either. Mo Hanyu looked at what he threw and decided to take down the watch.

Qin Xiao chose both.

The shop owner reluctantly took out the dusty grand prize and handed it to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao took a look and found that it was a ring inlaid with a water blue gemstone, and it could also change size.

The watch was one of those brightly colored children's watches that looked quite childish, but Qin Yun'an seemed very interested in it and glanced at it from time to time. Qin Xiao simply gave him one.

"For me?" Qin Yun'an was surprised.

Qin Xiao nodded and gave him the plum-red watch with stickers.

Mo Hanyu looked at Qin Xiao, as if he wanted to say something, but for some reason he withdrew his gaze.

Qin Xiao looked at the ring again, and the boss told him the detailed instructions for using this living ring. After confirming that there was no problem, Qin Xiao handed it to Mo Hanyu.

"This color suits you very well. I'll give it to you." Qin Xiao said, looking at the boss with a light tone, as if he was just saying it casually.

Mo Hanyu was stunned.

"Then I was stabbed three times, shouldn't I have three ordinary rings?" Qin Xiao looked at the boss, his tone did not change from beginning to end, "Only give one living thing?"

"Of course... yes, you can if you want." The boss was about to object, but inadvertently met Mo Hanshang's smile and changed his words.

Qin Xiao didn't seem to notice the eye contact between them and went back with the three rings.

Mo Hanyu looked at the ring on his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hey, boss, we're going to come 30 times, and I'm sure I can take the ring this time."

Qin Xiao and his friends were just about to leave when a cheerful female voice suddenly came from the side. Turning around, they saw a girl in uniform pulling a boy in uniform towards the stall.

The girl even held the boy's arm, leaning sideways, and said, "Brother, you must help me win this."

The boy chuckled, his hair must have been dyed blonde on purpose, and he seemed to have a good temper. His coat was about to be pulled off by the girl, but he was still smiling and whispering something to the girl.

"Um... I'm sorry, miss." The stall owner's eyes lit up when he saw the girl, but then dimmed. "The ring has been won by someone else. I'm really sorry. No one has won it before, so I didn't prepare much."

The girl seemed to be a regular customer here. When she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Won by whom?"

The boss looked at Qin Xiao and was about to speak. Mo Hanshang looked at the boy and said, "Bai Shuheng, why are you here?"

The boy was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Mo Hanshang, seeming a little surprised, and then laughed: "Hanshang?"

Hearing this title, Qin Jinyi glanced at him.

The boy also saw him and smiled at him: "Ah, hello, Qin Xuedi, you are here to play with Han Shang again."

"Mainly for my brother." Qin Jinyi smiled at him with a gentle expression.

"Oh?" The boy turned his gaze to Qin Xiao and the others, as if he had just noticed it, and looked surprised, "Your brother?"

The boy had a similar hairstyle to Qin Jinyi, with short hair that reached the ears, fine bangs parted in a 3:7 ratio, revealing a smooth forehead, but Bai Shuheng's hair was golden.

Qin Xiao looked at him and couldn't help but frowned.

For some reason, this person made him feel very uncomfortable.

Bai Shuheng and Qin Jinyi usually have similar auras and expressions, but I don't know if it's because Bai Shuheng's eyes are naturally upturned, he looks a little more shrewd than Qin Jinyi. The overall face looks peaceful and sunny, but the teardrop mole under the right corner of the eye adds a bit of sexiness to it.

"Yes." Qin Jinyi put his hand on Qin Xiao's shoulder, and when he felt the fluffy touch on his palm, he finally noticed Qiongqi.

"What about you? Come and play with this little girl?" Mo Hanshang looked at the girl behind Bai Shuheng and raised his eyebrows.

When the girl saw Mo Hanshang, her smile became much brighter: "Of course not. It's a busy time now, and I finally have a holiday. I don't want to stay at home."

"This girl wants to live outside all day long." Bai Shuheng smiled and tapped the girl's forehead. The girl covered her head and glanced at him angrily.

"But I haven't heard that you have a younger brother." Bai Shuheng changed the subject and looked at Qin Xiao, "He doesn't look that old."

"Yes, he just turned ten this year and is still young." Qin Jinyi replied with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Qin Xiao." Qin Xiao suddenly spoke and took the initiative.

Bai Shuheng was a little surprised, and smiled at his dark pupils: "My name is Bai Shuheng, and this is my sister Bai Shutong."

Qin Xiao looked at Bai Shutong, only to see that she was staring at Mo Hanyu beside him.

"...What's your name?" Bai Shutong's eyes sparkled, and she bent down and asked Mo Hanyu.

"...Mo Hanyu." Mo Hanyu looked at her and replied.

"Is she your sister?" Bai Shutong looked at her for a while, then suddenly looked at Mo Hanshang and said with a smile, "She's so cute. How come your sister is so pretty?"

Mo Hanshang: ...

Mo Hanshang: Ah, this.

Qin Xiao glanced at Mo Hanyu's expression, turned his head and curled the corners of his mouth.

"...I'm a boy." Mo Hanyu smiled, but it could be clearly felt that he was in a bad mood.

"Ah, are you a man?" Bai Shutong was surprised and frowned, "What a pity, such a good-looking guy is actually a man."

When Mo Hanyu heard this, he frowned, with obvious displeasure on his face: "Why do you say it's a pity?"

"Need I say more? It's so nice to be born a girl, so cute..." Bai Shutong seemed very disappointed, pouting, and had less interest in him.

Mo Hanyu clenched his fists slightly and his brows tightened even more.

Qin Xiao felt the coldness around him getting worse, and he sighed in his heart. He took a step to the left and stood in front of Mo Hanyu. He looked at Bai Shutong who was puzzled, paused, and raised a gentle smile with the corner of his mouth, without saying a word.

When Qin Yun'an saw his smile, he felt like he saw a ghost and his whole body felt unwell.

Although Mo Hanshang didn't know what was going on, seeing that Mo Hanyu was obviously angry, he planned to say hello and leave.

"But...someone was able to throw so accurately and took away all the prizes." Bai Shutong didn't wait for him to speak, thinking about it for a while, and then said, "Brother Mo, did you see who it was?"

"Ah, I took it." Mo Hanshang's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"Huh? It's you?" Bai Shutong was surprised.

Bai Shuheng was also a little surprised: "Why did you think of playing this?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Mo Hanshang said with a smile, "I played it because it looked interesting."

"With your temper, you're actually interested in this kind of game?" Bai Shuheng's tone was familiar, as if he knew Mo Hanshang very well. "It's really surprising."

Mo Hanshang did not refute: "Well, it's just for fun, what's so surprising about it."

Qin Jinyi listened to them talking, looked at Qin Xiao, and said hello to Mo Hanshang, "Qin Xiao seems to be quite interested in those things. I will take them to the bridge over there to have a look first."

Qin Xiao:?

Qin Xiao looked at Qin Jinyi puzzledly.

Qin Jinyi's expression remained unchanged and his smile was still gentle.

“…Ah, that’s fine too.” Mo Hanshang looked at Mo Hanyu and responded.

Qin Xiao looked at Mo Hanyu who lowered his head slightly, held his hand, and found it was frighteningly cold: "Let's go."

Mo Hanyu nodded, responded softly, and followed him forward.

Qin Xiao was being held by Qin Jinyi with one hand and Mo Hanyu with the other. Halfway through the walk, he seemed to have thought of something and looked back. He saw Bai Shuheng put one hand around Mo Hanshang's neck, leaning close to him familiarly, and saying something in his ear. He seemed to have noticed something, raised his eyes towards him, looked at Qin Xiao, and smiled at him.

Mo Hanshang had no objection to his intimate behavior.

The two obviously have a good relationship.

Qin Xiao turned around, looked up at Qin Jinyi and blinked.

"…Are you angry?"

Qin Jinyi led them out of the crowd and walked to an open space at the bridge head, and suddenly asked Mo Hanyu.

"Bai Shutong is quite straightforward. She has always been the apple of her family's eye. She has been spoiled since she was a child. When she speaks and does things, she is a little..." Qin Jinyi thought about how to describe it, and finally said softly, "Don't think."

Mo Hanyu still kept his head down, his hair hanging down, covering his face.

"...No, it's nothing." Mo Hanyu raised his head and smiled softly at Qin Jinyi, "There's nothing to be angry about."

"How old is she?" Qin Xiao suddenly asked.

Qin Jinyi was stunned for a moment, then he understood who he was referring to: "This year should be fourteen or fifteen, right?"

"That's not small either." Qin Xiao said calmly.

"Hey, you're in puberty." Qin Jinyi smiled and suddenly felt that his conversation was a bit weird.

If you think about it, it’s not just a little bit weird, but it’s quite weird.

Qin Jinyi couldn't help but hold his chin: he seemed to be expressing to the ten-year-old child that he should give in to someone who was four or five years older than them.

Qin Jinyi covered his mouth and his thoughts sank.

Are these two children too precocious, or is Bai Shutong too naive...

"Are they from the same school as you?" Qin Yun'an asked.

"Ah, yes." Qin Jinyi's thoughts were interrupted, and he replied with a smile, "They are all from aristocratic families in the imperial capital. Because his brother would come to the imperial capital from time to time to do some things during the holidays, and Bai Shuheng was in the same class as him, and they were friends, so they naturally became familiar with each other after a few visits."

"What about you?" Qin Yun'an blinked.

"Me?" Qin Jinyi smiled, his eyes were a little complicated, "I'm not familiar with them. I've only met them once or twice."

"...have you calmed down?"

Qin Xiao took Mo Hanyu and Qin Jinyi and the others to some distance, stood by the river, and asked him.

"...I've already said it, I'm not angry." Mo Hanyu lowered his eyes and said softly.

Qin Xiao: ...

But you’re just one step away from writing the words “I’m in a bad mood, come and comfort me” on your face?

Qin Xiao sighed and closed his eyes: "Why do you care about a child like her?"

Mo Hanyu looked at him in disbelief: "Have you forgotten that I'm younger than her?"

Qin Xiao: ...

He did forget a little.

Qin Xiao turned his head, looked at the river, and rubbed his eyebrows painfully.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Mo Hanyu frowned and glared at him: "I want to beat her up."

Qin Xiao closed his eyes and said, "This is impossible. You know that I am an evil cultivator and cannot take action."

Mo Hanyu got even angrier when he heard this: "Then why are you asking me?!"

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao looked at him, his eyes full of doubt and confusion.

Qiongqi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
