Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 860 - 367: "Master Feels So Warm~" (2)

"Then aren't you going to learn?"

Zhiyu looked up dumbfounded at him, "Zhiyu is lazy."

Lu Jin'an helplessly smiled, stuffed the paper slip into the flower lantern, and handed it to her, "Go ahead and release it."

Zhiyu quickly stretched out her hands to cradle the flower lantern, secretly swallowed her saliva. It's clearly not something tasty, so why make it so pretty?

"Master, will you release it with Zhiyu?"

"I'll watch you release it."

"Why?" Zhiyu widened her eyes, "Zhiyu wants to release it with Master."

"Because our Zhiyu is cuter than the flower lantern." Lu Jin'an said softly, rubbing her little head.

Zhiyu blankly looked at Lu Jin'an's only visible eyes, and her small mouth moved, as if a little embarrassed, she moved her head to one side, "Master always praises Zhiyu..."

"Because it's the truth." Lu Jin'an looked at Zhiyu cheerfully, "Go release the flower lantern."

Zhiyu turned and took small steps, looking back at Lu Jin'an every few steps, before turning back to pull his big hand, "Master, release it with Zhiyu."

"Alright..."

Watching the flower lantern drift farther in the river, Zhiyu ran along the riverbank cheering, then hurried back, "Master, Master, for the next flower lantern, Zhiyu wants to make another wish."

Lu Jin'an picked her up, leaped to the roof of a house, "What wish do you want to make?"

Zhiyu hugged his neck, "Master should praise Zhiyu more for being cute."

"Why?"

"Because, because..." Zhiyu blinked her differently colored eyes and finally put her chin on his shoulder, not daring to meet Lu Jin'an's gaze, whispering, "Zhiyu likes... hearing it."

"Alright." Lu Jin'an said softly while squatting down to put her down, "Though praising you once is not enough."

"Oh, Master, don't say it!" Zhiyu stomped her little foot, "Zhiyu, Zhiyu..."

As she spoke, a dazed look flashed in her eyes, not knowing how to express her feelings at that moment.

But her little face looked flushed, extremely cute.

"Zhiyu is embarrassed?"

"Embar...rassed?" Zhiyu tilted her head, looking at Lu Jin'an, the confusion in her eyes deepening, "What is embarrassed?"

"You'll understand later." Lu Jin'an pinched her slightly warm little face, thinking it best to let Zhiyu figure out this word herself.

After all, no matter the age, curiosity is best accumulated bit by bit.

"Oh..." Zhiyu looked at Lu Jin'an, seemingly understanding, opened her mouth again but didn't know what to say.

"Here, I've written it. Let's release the flower lantern."

"Okay, okay!"

Zhiyu's attention was instantly captured, Lu Jin'an handed her the firecracker, "Can you light it?"

"Zhiyu watched earlier and can do it now!" Zhiyu said, looking up with her little face.

"Zhiyu is really smart." Lu Jin'an continued to rub her little head.

"Hehe~"

Zhiyu showed him a sweet smile, and then... directly knelt on the rooftop to light the flower lantern.

Lu Jin'an silently took out a Capturing Stone, recording the adorable Zhiyu.

Putting aside the oddness of his older sister, he really understood her happiness now.

"Master, Master, it's lit, it's lit!"

"Mhm."

Lu Jin'an stood up, smiling as he looked at Zhiyu who also stood up, "Don't jump around on the rooftop."

"Why?"

"You'll disturb the people inside."

"Zhiyu will listen to Master!"

Zhiyu looked up at the flower lantern flying higher and higher, her little face full of excitement, "Master, Master, it's so beautiful!"

"Mhm..."

Lu Jin'an chuckled and nodded, half of his attention focused on the alley two streets away.

With the senses enhanced by the Wenqu Palace, he could clearly hear the commotion in the alley when he concentrated.

The alley, secluded, was occupied by the constable and the thief from before.

"Sir, didn't I perform well?"

In the alley, the thief took off his hood and looked at the constables dressed in brocade around him with a flattering smile, "I did exactly as you instructed, can you really remove the bounty on me?"

"Hehe..." The leading constable smiled slightly, "You did well, so..."

The Xiu Chun Dao left its sheath with an icy gleam.

The smile on the thief's face froze, and he involuntarily took a few steps back, "What do you mean, sirs?"

"It means you're of no use anymore." The leading constable grinned, "Committing a murder and wanting to have the bounty removed? Being able to contribute to Lord Qin's great cause before you die is already a generous reward from Lord Qin, what more do you want?"

"But, but..."

Pfft—

The thief wanted to say more, but the Xiu Chun Dao had already pierced through his chest. The constable pressed his hand on the thief's head, "I still have to thank you, because of you, Lord Qin's reputation has grown."

It's a pity when you committed that murder, Lord Qin hadn't yet taken charge of the Southwest, otherwise it would show more clearly Lord Qin's impartiality and love for the people."

With that, the constable pushed him, and the thief stumbled backward, falling to the ground with a thud, lifeless.

The constable wiped the blood from the blade, "Throw him outside the city to the burial ground."

"At your command!"

"Sir, which criminal should we use next?"

"Wait a few days." The constable sheathed the blade, "It's not good without criminals causing trouble, but frequent disturbances aren't good either. Vice General Hong Ying will soon lead the fleeing southerners into the Southwest, and when that mixture occurs, it'll be our time to shine."

At that time, not only can we raise Lord Qin's reputation, but also make the fleeing southerners quickly become loyal to Lord Qin, understand?"

"I... don't understand."

"If you don't understand, it doesn't matter, just do as told."

The leading constable started walking, "Continue the patrol, no curfew during the Lantern Festival, keep alert, don't let bandits roam, and don't let spies infiltrate, and also...
