The world is broken, the cubs mend it

Children are easy to coax and their attention can be diverted with just a few words.

"Why would you like a mouse?"

Rats have always been regarded as a scourge and everyone wants to kill them. She is the first one to keep a rat as a pet.

There was always something odd about her.

“I’m kind of bored…”

Yuanyuan sounded a little disappointed. There was nothing fun in the palace.

She was tired of watching Xiao Fuzi's tricks these days, and her days were almost the same.

Except for the people in Wangyue Tower, people outside would hide when they saw her and were unwilling to talk to her.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Pei Zhiyan lowered his eyes and looked at the top of the child's head. In all these years, he had never felt that life was boring.

You're just a walking corpse, and your life will be the same no matter how you live it.

"You want to chop off my head and use it as a ball."

Yuanyuan touched his head and looked up at him.

Apparently she was still holding a grudge against him when they first met, so she deliberately said this to him.

"..."

An embarrassed look flashed across Pei Zhiyan's face. He was in the wrong in this regard.

The two looked at each other, and finally the old father gave in and patted her on the shoulder.

"Let me repeat myself..."

"I want to see you dance with a sword..."

Yuanyuan then pointed at the sword on the table and gave him a chance to atone for his crime.

Daddy looks best when he dances with a sword!

His sword is called Hongyue, and his father paid a lot of money to a famous master to forge it. The best materials were used and it could cut through iron like mud.

After the Pei family's property was ransacked, the sword was privately kept by Zhao Bo, an assistant minister in the cabinet.

After he destroyed the Zhao family two years ago, he retrieved the sword from his private vault.

Looking at the child struggling to lift the sword, Pei Zhiyan smiled faintly.

The sword was very heavy. He had tried to hold it when he was young, but he lost his grip and it hit his foot, leaving him lame for several days.

"Is this sword growing on the table?"

Yuanyuan pulled hard several times, but the sword didn't move at all, which made her very tired.

"You are too weak. You will be able to pick it up when you grow up."

Pei Zhiyan easily picked up the sword on the table and took her to the yard to practice sword dancing.

The courtyard was spacious and there was enough room for him to perform, which was even more beautiful than the dance he had done in the house that night.

Xiao Fuzi had long heard that Lord Zhang Yin's martial arts were very powerful and there were few people in the world who could be his match.

Now I see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation. The long sword can create a strong wind with just a few swings.

Yuanyuan stood aside, clapping her hands and laughing happily.

The long sword was sheathed, and Pei Zhiyan's figure flashed and appeared behind her. He picked her up from the ground, stepped on the stone table to leverage his strength and flew her out of the palace wall.

Her sight suddenly shot up, and she was so scared that she hugged her father's neck tightly.

"Master Palm Seal flew away?"

It was the first time for Xiao Fuzi to witness the legendary Qinggong. The person disappeared in a moment.

“That’s amazing…”

Caizhi has more experience than him and has seen people in the martial arts world climb walls and fly over rooftops.

But I have never seen him so light as a swallow, as if he had wings.

No wonder he was able to defeat the barbarian army back then, his martial arts skills are truly amazing.

After getting used to it, Yuanyuan opened her eyes and looked at the scenery around her.

Daddy held her in his arms and flew to the center of the lotus pond, moving quickly on the lotus leaves with his toes, more steadily than walking on the ground.

“You can fly!”

The child looked at him with surprise and wanted to fly higher.

The palace maids and eunuchs passing by all looked over here. It was also the first time they had witnessed Pei Zhangyin's kung fu.

Pei Zhiyan took her across most of the palace and finally landed at the city gate.

"Is it because my eyes are blurry? I just saw a castrated dog flying past."

The official on duty pointed to the palace wall not far away, where a figure had just flashed by.

"That's him. He seems to be holding a child. I guess he's torturing me in different ways again."

There is no one else in the palace who has white hair but can walk so fast.

"Is it fun?"

Pei Zhiyan held her and paced at the city gate, where they could see farther and wider.

"Fun!"

Yuanyuan touched his spine with her little hand, curious about how he could fly without wings.

"Then I'll take you back later."

Pei Zhiyan looked at the flock of birds flying in the distance, and his mood suddenly became much more open.

"Why are you suddenly nice to me again?"

Yuanyuan didn’t know what kind of changes had taken place in his heart, she just felt that his kindness came very suddenly.

"Is this good?"

Pei Zhiyan chuckled, thinking that she was too easily satisfied.

I just indulged her a little, and she thought that was good.

"it is good…"

He told himself stories and bought himself some candy.

These are all good in her eyes.

"This can only be considered as not being bad to you. Don't think people are good just because they give you some benefits."

Pei Zhiyan was really worried that she would be deceived by someone in the future.

It's not a good thing for a young girl to think that others are better than her too easily.

"I think you're kind of nice..."

"You won't feel this way anymore..."

The palace servants rarely interacted with the people in Wangyue Tower, so when they saw Pei Zhangyin suddenly holding a child, they couldn't help but feel curious.

Caizhi and Xiao Fuzi kept their mouths shut. After Admiral Wu warned them last time, they never told anyone about the relationship between Yuanyuan and the seal.

At present, only the people in Concubine Jing's palace know about it. There are always a few people who don't keep their mouths shut among a group of people.

Not long after, the news that Pei Zhangyin had adopted a daughter spread.

That night, the news spread among all the palaces that the child had nothing to do with the seal holder and that no one was allowed to discuss the matter in private. Violators would be punished with twenty strokes of the cane.

This ban immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

The children had a lot of fun during the day and fell asleep without any need for coaxing at night, so the matter of looking for mice was temporarily forgotten.

I thought this matter was over.

Unexpectedly, at breakfast the next day, Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that Xiaohui had not eaten yesterday, and immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks to go look for it.

Seeing that she didn't eat, Caizhi hurriedly called Xiao Fuzi to look for it together.

They couldn't enter the main hall, so they could only go to the side hall first.

Xiao Fuzi was quite capable. He caught two big, fat, black rats from somewhere.

"Girl, do you see these two?"

"No, Xiao Hui is not that ugly."

Yuanyuan looked at the big black rat in his net bag and was so scared that he hid behind Caizhi.

"Don't all mice look like this?"

Xiao Fuzi scratched his head and had to carry the mouse out.

"..."

Yuanyuan grabbed Caizhi's clothes and suddenly realized that the little mouse in yesterday's movie was the Xiaohui she had been thinking about.

The child who had just been shouting about looking for Xiao Hui suddenly started crying.

It was during her crying that Caizhi learned that Xiao Hui, whom she had never met before, was trampled to death by Admiral Wu.

When Wu Xian came to see her in the evening, he brought her some dragon beard candy from outside the palace.

As a result, the child turned around and walked away when he saw him, refusing to say another word to him.

"You really don't want to eat?"

After everyone left, Pei Zhiyan walked over to her and sat down with a piece of dragon beard candy wrapped in oil paper.

After learning that Xiao Hui had died, she didn't eat well the whole day and would cry whenever she thought about it.

She also blamed herself for fooling her yesterday and not helping her save Xiao Hui.

He was saying good things about himself yesterday, but today he labeled himself as a rat-killing enemy and started to hate himself along with everyone else.
