Jinghong and Youhuang understood without further questioning, but Ruoxie scratched the back of his head in confusion: “Who is Mu Fan?”
“Just mind your own business, don't worry about it.”
Jinghong didn't want to say more and patted him on the head before taking the lead towards the riverbank where lanterns were being released.
“Tsk!”
Ruoxie's mischievous eyes showed a hint of defiance as he muttered quietly, “You guys don't tell me, but I'll find out sooner or later.”
“Ruoxie, don't cause any trouble.”
Youhuang's eyes narrowed dangerously, her killing intent evident.
“Hehe, don't worry Sister Youhuang, I wouldn't dare.”
Ruoxie was fearless of everything, except Youhuang.
One fierce glare from Youhuang and he immediately backed down, grinning foolishly with his little tiger teeth showing.
“Let's go release the lanterns.”
Jin Jing smiled as she carried a basket of fruit and followed the bustling crowd towards the riverbank.

On the opposite shore, under a lush old willow tree, Qing Yuan held Hunao and looked surprised to see Mu Fan. “Senior Brother Mu, why did you suddenly come here? You didn't even send a message for me to pick you up outside the city.”
“It was a last-minute decision.”
Mu Fan gently stroked Baoya's little head, his eyes flashing with a hint of helplessness, “I didn't expect to leave the Security Battalion so soon.”
“What happened?”
Mu Fan wasn't very good at lying, and it was evident that something was being concealed.
Qing Yuan's handsome face darkened, anger rising: “Is it still because of Mu Rongxue? Is someone deliberately creating trouble and slandering you?”
Right on point!
Mu Fan cleared his throat awkwardly, looking rather embarrassed.
“A bunch of petty people.”
Qing Yuan scolded angrily, “Mu Rongxue is deceitful and manipulative, she is nothing like the good person she appears to be. They are too foolish to see the truth, completely bewitched by her.”
“Qing Yuan.”
Mu Fan's heart trembled slightly, a touch of unease rising: “How do you know Mu Rongxue's true nature? Has she ever harassed you too?”
“Harassed?”
Qing Yuan was startled, shaking his head in confusion: “Senior Brother Mu is joking, my appearance is nothing special, so why would she bother with me?”
“As long as she didn't.”
Mu Fan thought about the horror of Mu Rongxue and still felt lingering fears.
“Senior Brother Mu.”
Qing Yuan seemingly didn't care, smiled and changed the topic: “Did you come looking for me specifically this time?”
“Yes.”
Mu Fan did not intend to hide anything and went straight to the point: “I want to invite you to an adventure in Sudden Wind Ocean.”
“Great.”
Qing Yuan's eyes brightened, and he happily agreed: “I've wanted to go to Sudden Wind Ocean for a long time.”
“When do you have time?”
Mu Fan smiled in relief: “Let's set a date?”
“I can't these days.”
Qing Yuan was a little troubled: “Something happened at home, so I'm temporarily tied up. I can probably go in about ten days to half a month.”
“It's alright, I'll wait for you.”
Mu Fan smiled understandingly and genuinely considered his feelings: “If you need anything, just send me a message, and I'll be ready to help anytime.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Mu.”
Qing Yuan's eyes flickered, and a warm current surged through his heart.
“Are you here for the Temple Fair?”
In a good mood, Mu Fan began to feel like enjoying the Temple Fair as well.
“Yes.”
Qing Yuan immediately understood his thoughts, smiling in response: “I'm familiar with Capital City, let me take you around.”
“Great.”
Mu Fan's eyes showed joy, and he happily agreed.
“Hehe, Master and Mu Fan finally reunited.”
“No need to worry about him being taken away anymore.”
Baoya and Hunao listened with perked ears to their master's conversation, their little eyes gleaming mischievously, enjoying their little secret.

On the ancient and sturdy Stone Arch Bridge, with a long sword on his back, Mu Fan looked at the festive and harmonious scene filled with lanterns, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his thoughts restless.
He and Qing Yuan strolled leisurely in the Temple Fair, but for some reason, an odd sensation welled up in his heart again.
