The two of them arrived at the Pearl Pavilion.

When the boss saw Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao, he was pleasantly surprised.

“Young Master Wei! Madam Wei! You’re here! Quick! Get on the ship! Coincidentally, a few especially fat bass came today!”

Wei Ting walked towards his usual room.

The boss said, “Young Master Wei, this room is occupied. Let’s go to the room next door.”

“Okay.”

It didn’t matter if there was someone using the room.

The next second, the door to this room opened.

Three round heads popped out.

Wei Ting trembled. “Why are you here?”

Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu blinked at Wei Ting, who had suddenly appeared and were extremely surprised.

Dahu tilted his head. “We’re here to eat fish. Dad, are you coming to eat fish

“I…” Wei Ting opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

He was here to eat fish, but not.

That was not the point.

The point was, why were they here to eat fish?

“Who brought you here?”

“Master brought us here!” Xiao Hu said.

“Mother!”

Erhu saw Su Xiaoxiao on the deck.

The three of them immediately abandoned their father and ran toward Su Xiaoxiao.

“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little fellows who were pouncing on her in surprise and reached out to hug them.

“Mother!”

The three of them rubbed against her arms.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting and clicked her tongue. “You said you wouldn’t pick him up. So you picked them up long ago.”

Wei Ting muttered, “I didn’t!”

What kind of master was this?

He did not teach the children in broad daylight but brought them to such a place to eat fish. Was such a dishonest master really reliable? “Dad didn’t pick us up,” Dahu said. “Master brought us here.”

The three little ones were too happy. They were happy to come out for dinner, and even happier to meet their mother. Together, they were a hundred times happier!

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three little ones who were shaking their heads and smiled. She asked, “Where’s your Master?” “In the room!” the three of them said in unison.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and greeted Ling Yun.

As their father, Wei Ting naturally had to come along.

Ling Yun sat by the window and drank tea leisurely. Deng An resigned himself to fate and peeled the lotus seeds.

It was not the time to eat lotus seeds. The lotus flowers in the pool had yet to grow. It was unknown where Ling Yun got the lotus seed pod.

This was the first time Wei Ting had seen Ling Yun.

Su Xiaoxiao introduced them to each other. “Wei Ting, Father of Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu. Ling Yun, Master of Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.”

The two of them nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Young Master Ling, do you have any other friends coming?”

“That’s all,” Ling Yun said.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “If you don’t mind, let’s have a meal together?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “If you don’t mind, let’s have a meal together?”

Wei Ting’s eyes turned cold. Ling Yun said, “Sure.”

What was there to mind?

He could not ask for more than someone to help take care of his three rascal disciples.

Su Xiaoxiao said to the two of them, “You guys chat first. I’ll go see Dahu and the others.”

After Su Xiaoxiao left, only Deng An, who was peeling lotus seeds, and the two men were left in the room.

Ling Yun was not good at socializing and did not say much.

Wei Ting was talkative, but that was all used to deal with the various monsters in the Imperial Court. He still had to restrain himself in front of his sons’ Master.

For a moment, the two of them were silent.

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Deng An looked at the two of them and asked tentatively, “Do you want to… peel the lotus seeds?”

The two of them were dumbfounded.

The one who succeeded in breaking the awkwardness between the two of them was the boss of the pleasure boat.

He came over and asked them what dishes would be served later.

“Anything is fine.” Ling Yun didn’t know how to order.

Wei Ting asked, “Does Young Master Ling have any food restrictions?”

Ling Yun said, “I don’t eat spicy food.”

Wei Ting said, “Then let’s have steamed bass, sour soup, fishballs, stir-fried river shrimp, and fish. Also, what’s the dish of the day?”

Most of the dishes on the pleasure boat were seasonal. Wei Ting had come too many times and there were new dishes every time. In the end, other than the few dishes that he had to order, he handed them all to the boss to arrange.

“Alright!”

The boss agreed with a smile.

“Don’t make it spicy,” Wei Ting reminded.

The boss said amiably, “Young Master Wei, don’t worry. I’ll remember it.”

After ordering, the atmosphere in the room eased a lot. At least, it was not as awkward.

Wei Ting looked at Ling Yun and said, “I seem to have seen you somewhere.” Ling Yun took a sip of tea. “I live in Pear Blossom Lane. It’s normal to for you to have me.”

Wei Ting said, “It’s not Pear Blossom Lane. It should be earlier.”

Ling Yun said, “Really? Perhaps.”

Wei Ting continued, “You’re not from the capital?”

Ling Yun paused in his tea drinking. “How can you tell?”

Wei Ting pointed at his ear. “Your accent. Although it’s already very similar, there’s still a slight difference.”

“I’m from North City,” Ling Yun said.

Wei Ting thought for a moment. “I’ve been to North City. Perhaps I’ve seen you in North City.”

His grandfather and father and brother died in North City, where he fought for more than half a year.

Perhaps it was because of the unforgettable past, Wei Ting did not say anything else.

Ling Yun only drank his tea silently.

On the deck, the three little fellows ran around excitedly.

“Catch me!”

Dahu said to his two younger brothers.

“Catch us!”

Erhu said to Xiaohu and automatically arranged himself and Dahu into the same camp.

Xiaohu didn’t feel that anything was wrong, so he played along.

However, how could he outrun his two brothers with his short legs and small body?

He waved his arms around but didn’t catch anyone. Before long, he went onto the deck and began to rot it again. “I’m not catching anymore!”

“Time to eat…”

The boss of the pleasure boat walked over with a pot of fish soup.

Xiaohu got up quickly.

The dishes today were very sumptuous. In addition to the dishes ordered by Wei Ting, the boss also stir-fried two seasonal side dishes and served a plate of cold dishes made by his family.

“Pig balls!”

Xiaohu pointed at the fishballs in the soup. Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “This is a fishball.

“Fishball,” Xiao Hu imitated.

Su Xiaoxiao scooped a small bowl for each of the three little ones.

Dahu and Erhu ate happily.

Xiaohu stuck out his tongue. “Spicy.”

There was no chili in the fishball. It was the spicy taste of ginger.

Ling Yun did not eat spicy food, but he could accept this kind of spicy ginger.

Deng An watched his young master chew and swallow in small bites. Compared to ordinary people, his young master still did not eat much, but compared to before, he had eaten a lot.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three little ones went to the deck to dry their stomachs.

As it was drying in the sun, a little bird flew over in a panic and hit the railing with a smack before falling onto Dahu’s stomach. The three little ones looked over in unison. The bird’s head lolled and it went still.

“Is it dead?” Erhu asked.

Xiaohu grabbed Dahu’s finger and poked it.

Dahu was speechless.

“What are you doing?” Su Xiaoxiao walked over.

Xiaohu added his movements and said vividly, “There’s a little bird that’s gray. It fell off and hit Dahu’s belly.”

Su Xiaoxiao took a closer look and realized that it was a very beautiful Mystic Wind Parrot..
