Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!

"?"

The fairy didn't reply, Qi Tiezui just stood there. Jinnian glanced at Qi Tiezui secretly, as if questioning his ability.

The sunlight filtered through the half-closed curtains, casting mottled shadows. Huo Xiangu sat there quietly, like a beautiful painting, looking at people without saying a word.

Qi Tiezui stood aside with an awkward dry laugh on his face. He kept scratching his head, his eyes full of confusion, not understanding what had gone wrong just now.

The robe swayed slightly with his movements and was pushed aside by him in disgust. The folding fan in his hand opened and closed unconsciously.

Isn't the fairy girl about the same age as Jinnian? Why is it that the method of coaxing people is no longer effective?..............

Jinnian stood a little further away, looking at Qi Tiezui cautiously. He tilted his head slightly, with a gleam in his eyes, wanting Qi Tiezui to show himself to the fairy.

He trusts Mr. Ba very much. After Mr. Ba calculates, as long as he says there is no problem, then there is really no problem.

Looking at Qi Tiezui's embarrassment, the smile in Huo Xiangu's eyes became even more intense. A few strands of hair gently fell on her cheeks, and were blown up by the wind, making them flutter.

The famous Master Qi Ba called her Little Fairy, which was quite scary. After all, she and Master Qi Ba were not that familiar with each other before. Compared with Jinnian's familiarity and playfulness, she still respected Master Qi Ba more.

"Thank you, Master Ba. The fairy is just feeling depressed. You don't need to worry about it."

Huo Xiangu's voice was soft and gentle, neither hurried nor slow, like a clear spring flowing through the mountains. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, polite yet distant.

Qi Tiezui smiled awkwardly, trying to find a reasonable explanation for his behavior.

"Don't blame me, Fairy. Come find me whenever you want. There's no rush."

As he spoke, he kept rubbing his hands, his mind wandering. It was rare that he offered to tell fortunes for someone, but the other party refused.

While Qi Tiezui was still trying to find reasons for his lack of professionalism, Jinnian keenly noticed the smile in Huo Xiangu's eyes. His heart was immediately relieved and a happy smile appeared on his face.

He walked briskly and went straight towards Huo Xiangu.

"Is it delicious? Can I get you some more?"

Jinnian's eyes were sparkling, as if countless stars were hidden in them. He raised his hands slightly and pointed at the empty cup in the fairy's hand.

"No, thank you Jinnian.............thank you Nian Nian, Nian Nian, can I call you that?"

There was a gentle smile in Huo Xiangu's eyes. She hesitated for a while, but still asked what she was thinking. Her eyes were fixed on Jinnian, looking forward to his answer.

"Ah...sure, that's what my brother calls me!"

Jinnian paused for a moment and then agreed, not feeling anything about it.

The bright smile is like a little sun, seeming to be able to dazzle people's eyes.

Qi Tiezui was listening to their conversation from the side, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. He looked over with resentment, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, his mouth slightly pouted, and pretended to call for help.

"Niannian~" Qi Tiezui deliberately prolonged his voice, trying to attract Jinnian's attention.

Jinnian noticed his gaze and felt something strange when he called him. He looked back and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still handed Qi Tiezui a cup of sugar water.

"Eighth Master, yours."

Jinnian's movements were natural. When he handed the cup to Qi Tiezui, he flicked his fingers lightly, and the cup made a crisp sound when his fingertips touched the wall of the cup.

Qi Tiezui was in a good mood when he saw that he was being noticed. He couldn't wait to pick up the sugar water that Jinnian gave him and drank it in one gulp without caring whether it tasted good or not.

His throat slid up and down, making a gurgling sound. He looked as if he was tasting the most delicious wine in the world. He probably could have swallowed it in one gulp if Jinnian handed him poison, but Jinnian would not do that. He would only hand him delicious wine.

After Qi Tiezui finished drinking it, he smacked his lips twice and found it quite delicious.

There was a hint of smile in his eyes, and a childish smile appeared on his face. He bumped Jinnian's shoulder with his shoulder: "Mm, it tastes good! Another glass!"

Jinnian licked her dry lips and poured him another cup. Qi Tiezui took the cup and drank it all again. Seeing that he was enjoying it, Jinnian was about to pour him a third cup, but Qi Tiezui stopped him.

......................

Half an hour later, the atmosphere in the room gradually became quiet.

Qi Tiezui looked at Huo Xiangu, and as an elder, he showed concern: "Are you feeling better?"

His voice also became gentle, and his eyes scanned Huo Xiangu, trying to find some clues from her expression. He was not teasing her like before.

"Much better, thank you, Master Ba."

"Hey, why are you being so polite? We are all from the Nine Gates, why are we so unfamiliar with each other?"

"Eighth Master, Eighth Master, it sounds disheartening. If it really doesn't work, you can follow Xiao Jinnian and call me Brother Qi. That's fine too."

"Yes, Fairy remembers it."

Jinnian didn't hear their conversation, otherwise he would have asked Qi Tiezui when he said he wanted to call him Brother Qi?

After the smoke cleared and the crowd dispersed, the situation around the room gradually became clear.

Jinnian looked at the fairy's back and looked around the room. He had only been watching the fireworks and had not taken a close look at the hall.

The room was decorated in a simple and elegant style. There were several ancient paintings hanging on the wall, and on the table were some exquisite tea sets and vases containing several bouquets of flowers, exuding a faint fragrance.

There was also a pot of green plants placed by the window. The leaves were sparkling with emerald green light in the sun, bringing a touch of vitality to the whole room. Jinnian even got closer to see what kind of plant it was. After looking at it for a long time, he unfortunately couldn't recognize it.

Almost all the guests that Jiu Ye had sent away had left, leaving only a few servants cleaning the place.

Around Huo Xiangu, there were a few people who came to talk to her on purpose. They were dressed differently, but their facial expressions were similar, with flattering smiles on their faces.

Jinnian and Qi Tiezui were waiting here. The fairy said she had a small gift for him, so the two did not move. When they saw the fairy was leaving, they were surrounded again. Jinnian originally wanted to step forward to rescue her, but was stopped by Qi Tiezui.

Qi Tiezui stood a little further away, holding a folding fan tightly in his hand and gently holding it in front of the person.

He scanned those people and stopped Jinnian's actions after confirming that they were just minions and could not threaten the fairy lady.

"Just stay here obediently. The fairy lady can handle everything by herself, but you are the only one. If you just rush in head-on, what will you do if you are surrounded and can't get out?"

"No! Um...I know my limits."

Originally, he objected very loudly, but when Jinnian thought about it carefully, he felt a little guilty and his voice involuntarily became lower.

Huo Xiangu stood there quietly. In response to those people's conversations, she just nodded slightly without saying much. There was a hint of indifference in her eyes, as if she was not interested in these people. Her mind seemed to be on Jinnian and Qi Tiezui who were not far away. She didn't care about the presence of other people.

What's more, what these people said had nothing to do with her at all. They were either trying to get information from her or trying to find out about Sanniang's business situation. The fairy had no other ideas except to refuse and was not impressed by what they said.

Huo Xiangu passed through the crowd's encirclement. She was really annoyed, so she followed Jiu Ye's example and asked a few people to leave. When she came back, she gently dusted herself off, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

"Thank you so much for today."

Qi Tiezui was smiling beside them, and Jinnian quickly waved his hand to signal her not to thank him, because they really didn't do anything, and it was Jiu Ye who was mostly busy.

The fairy lady stretched out her hand and handed over a brocade box.

"then."

Jinnian took it and held in his hand a heavy rectangular box.

"Eighth Master." The fairy bowed and saluted with both hands: "I will visit you someday and listen to your teachings."

"!"

"Oh hey, I told you there's no need to be so polite. We can do it another day. You can come anytime you want. We are family... Whenever you want a fortune-telling, just come to me. I will definitely give you the honor, hahaha..."

Qi Tiezui finally got back his dignity after being bullied till there was not a trace of him left. He felt so happy to be complimented like this, and his face was full of uncontrollable pride. He elbowed Jinnian beside him and raised his eyebrows.

Jinnian kicked his shoes, not wanting to expose him.

"Ahem, well, Fairy... since most people have left, should we also withdraw?"

The fairy lady didn't seem to expect them to leave. After a moment's pause, she took a step forward.

"this way please."

Qi Tiezui followed the path pointed out by the fairy, but before he could take a step, he was pulled away by Jinnian.

"Ok?"

"Brother! There is also a brother!"

"Oh, yes! Second Master, hiss... Second Master is still resting over there. I almost forgot about him."

The three people changed direction. The fairy asked someone to prepare the car, while Jinnian and Qi Tiezui went to look for Er Yuehong.

.....................

"elder brother!"

A crisp shout broke the silence in the corner, and Jinnian pounced towards Er Yuehong like a cheerful little bird, her figure full of energy.

Er Yuehong was slightly startled, then a gentle smile appeared on her face. She reached out and gently pinched her eyebrows, and then took the opportunity to hug Jinnian tightly who rushed over.

"Have enough fun?"

Er Yuehong's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of doting.

Jinnian nuzzled into his arms and answered obediently, "Well, Master Jiu sent everyone away, and Fairy Lady looks tired too."

Er Yuehong nodded slightly, a trace of thought flashing in her eyes, "Then let's go, so that Sanniang won't be upset when she comes back."

He thought the same as Jie Jiuye. Sanniang seemed to be very angry, and after this incident, it would be better to go along with her. After all, there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and the relationship could not become awkward because of today's incident.

"Wait for Uncle Fu for a moment." Er Yuehong rubbed the man's head and focused his eyes.

Jinnian yawned, his voice sounding a little lazy.

"The fairy said she would take us there and has already gone to call a taxi for us."

Er Yuehong replied softly, "Yes."

Jinnian rubbed his eyes. He was a little sleepy at the moment. It was time for a nap and his head started to feel dizzy.

He listened to Er Yuehong's muffled voice and couldn't help wondering why the other party was unhappy.

Er Yuehong's gaze was fixed on the gauze on Jinnian's ear, his eyes were dark. He didn't dare to touch it easily, but just put his hand gently on the side of Jinnian's neck, gently holding it, and then gently kneading the back of his neck.

Qi Tiezui walked slowly behind them, and as soon as he appeared, he saw Er Yuehong and Jinnian looking sticky to each other.

A teasing smile appeared on his face, but the next second, "Ha!" Qi Tiezui sneezed several times violently.

The air seemed to still be filled with the lingering smell of gunpowder. His nose had always been sensitive, and it was even more uncomfortable at this moment.

"Ha Qiu! Fairy, Ha Qiu! The car is ready, shall we go?"
