But the little girl has a different pursuit, "But the short ones can be held by the master!"
"..." Leng Chengran cleared his throat and turned to coax his little apprentice, "Pumpkins are fatter than winter melons."
"But Master Shen Chen can also hold her," the little girl said proudly, "Master is really amazing!"
Helianye's genes are definitely no joke...
The little girl has a very good ability to bring back the topic, and she can always find opportunities to tease her master.
...Anyway, Leng Chengran felt that he was being teased...
Looking at the little girl's very cute and honest face, she looks a little timid, with a deceptive little face that says "I'm so good, don't bully me"...
Leng Chengran tried hard to keep a straight face, but in the end he couldn't help laughing and pinched her little nose, "Why is there such a little girl like you?"
It was just a tone that said there was nothing he could do about her, and he didn't really want to ask her anything.
But the little girl has the answer...
She tilted her little head and asked seriously, "Because Master is always alone, should someone accompany Master?"
Leng Chengran: "..."
Is it because his little apprentice is so powerful, or are the kids today so powerful...
Leng Chengran almost had the urge to go around the school and find out what the little kids are thinking about now...
Fortunately, if we don't eat quickly, breakfast will be cold. The little girl has been eating honestly for the rest of the time.
They kept walking and stopping like this all the way. Although Princess Pingran's men were there and they couldn't get out of the car at will, the master and the apprentice never got bored and had a very pleasant chat.
...Well, it is indeed pleasant.
Although Leng Chengran was made to laugh and cry every time by his little apprentice, he still liked to listen to this little girl talk.
Three days later, they finally arrived in the capital.
This time, only children can participate in the martial arts competition. Although everyone has practiced martial arts, they are all young after all, and the elders in the family are not worried about them going out alone.
The children who are about to compete, the parents who are accompanying them, the guards who are protecting them all the way, or the elders of the sect, the capital is bustling with people, and it is much more lively than usual.
And Princess Pingran's men drove a carriage to a seemingly ordinary antique shop near the palace.
A group of guards repeated their old tricks and threw the incense into the carriage. Then they carried the two "sleeping" dolls to the backyard of the antique house. They carefully looked around and then got into the rockery.
After pressing a mechanism, he immediately dodged into the suddenly opened stone cave.
Inside the cave is a secret passage with a small space.
A group of guards kept silent, hunched their backs, and walked forward in silence, occasionally pressing on the wall to avoid those deadly mechanisms.
The master and the apprentice were both extremely smart people. They were not distracted and concentrated on memorizing the mechanisms in the cave, and then carefully discerning the direction they were taking.
After walking for twenty minutes, their eyes suddenly became spacious, and they came to a large stone cave that could accommodate three to four hundred people.
Based on the distance and direction... this should be the palace?
Helian Rui had never been to the palace, so she couldn't guess that Leng Chengran came here for a stroll several decades ago...
It's just that it's been too long and his memory is a little blurry, so he can't be 100% sure.
The leading guard knelt down on one knee and said, "I have seen the princess."
