Chapter 254: Kind-hearted Xianyun
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the sleeping faces of Xinyang and Linghua. They slowly opened their eyes, stretched, and yawned. Suddenly, through their sleepy eyes, they caught a glimpse of a familiar figure sitting at the stone table outside—Xianyun, leisurely sipping tea.
Xinyang was stunned and rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking he was seeing things. He turned and exchanged glances with Linghua, each of them showing a hint of surprise. Then they both hurriedly stood up, gathered their clothes, and hurried out of the room.
"Master, how...how did you get in? Aping clearly told me that this Chen Ge pot has a powerful anti-theft function!" Xinyang asked suspiciously.
Xianyun, however, remained unfazed. He leisurely picked up his teacup and took a sip before replying slowly, "Hmph, Ah Ping's mechanical skills are far inferior to mine. How can a small Chenge pot like this stop me?"
Hearing this, Xin Yang looked helpless and said with a wry smile, "That being said, Master, it's not very nice for you to barge in without saying hello. This is also considered trespassing."
Upon hearing this, Xianyun put down his teacup, rolled his eyes at Xinyang, and said angrily, "You little brat, are you still arguing with me about this? Come on, come on, I didn't come all the way here just to argue with you. I have other important matters to take care of today, so you two bosses, please stay away today."
Xin Yang nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Master. It's just a small matter, so why would you make such a special trip? We will definitely take good care of the store today and not run around."
Linghua asked, "Master, what is it that requires you to personally take action? Just tell us."
Xianyun explained, "It's best if I come in person. Do you remember Jiaming, who has been delivering tea to Bailu Shuanghua?"
The two nodded.
Xianyun went on to explain, "Yesterday, I saw him sitting alone by the harbor, looking glumly at the sea. I struck up a conversation with him, and he said he wanted to perform a beast dance at the Lantern Festival, but he wanted to do it in a unique way to attract everyone's attention, but he couldn't think of a particularly good idea."
Xianyun continued, "That kid practices his animal dance every morning in front of the escort agency. He's incredibly diligent, and I've seen it all. So I can make him a magic weapon and let him perform his animal dance right here on the sea. It's sure to attract everyone's attention."
Linghua smiled and said, "Master is truly kindhearted. With your help, Jiaming, this beast dance performance will surely be spectacular. However, making the magic weapon must be very complicated, so Master should also take care of his health."
Xianyun waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I just need to transform Zhuxing. It's not difficult for me. But you two should be more restrained, especially you, Xinyang. Look at the dark circles under your eyes."
Xin Yang's face flushed red all the way to his ears when he heard this. He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Master, you misunderstood. It's not what you think."
Linghua also lowered her head in shame and gently tugged at the corner of Xinyang's clothes.
Seeing this, Xianyun smiled and shook his head. "You guys are energetic, but you also need to know how to balance work and rest. Okay, enough talk. I'm going to go make some magic weapons."
After saying that, Xianyun cast a spell again and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xinyang looked in the direction where Xianyun disappeared, took a deep breath, turned to look at Linghua, and said casually: "Okay, don't be shy, Master also cares about us."
Linghua raised her eyes to look at Xinyang, a hint of shyness still lingering in her eyes: "Could it be that Xiaoli let it slip? If Master knew, I..."
Xinyang comforted her, "Don't think too much. Xiaoli knows what's important and won't tell anyone. Master probably just saw that I didn't get enough rest and said it casually. Let's go out and find a breakfast stall to have some breakfast, and then go to Bailu Shuanghua." After that, he took Linghua's hand and left Chen Ge Hu.
Arriving at Bailu Shuanghua, Linghua grabbed Shuili and asked nervously, "Xiaoli, did you say anything to your Aunt Xianyun?"
Shui Li looked bewildered and blinked innocently: "I didn't say anything, sister-in-law. I'm very tight-lipped. How could I dare to say anything you told me to do?"
Xin Yang smiled and comforted Ling Hua: "See, I told you Xiao Li wouldn't tell anyone. It must be Master's own wild guess."
Linghua finally felt relieved and patted her chest gently, "That's good. It would be embarrassing if Master misunderstood me because of this."
Shui Li covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "No sister-in-law, Brother Xinyang's dark circles are indeed a bit obvious. Did you guys last night..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Linghua's face turned red again and she glared at Shuili.
Xin Yang smiled and glared at Shui Li, then said, "Xiao Li, if you keep teasing your sister-in-law, I'll dock your wages. Go get ready to open the shop and stop talking nonsense here."
Shuili stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I know, Brother Xinyang, I'll go get ready right away."
Xinyang and Linghua also quickly divided the work. Xinyang began to check the milk tea making equipment to ensure that everything was operating normally; Linghua carefully counted the raw materials, considering whether they needed to be replenished.
