New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Under the watchful eyes of the public, Duanmu Qing really couldn't be the kind of person who would break the contract. After all, he still had to be the Pavilion Master.

He secretly despised himself for having to be so mean and yet insist on making a promise. Otherwise, wouldn't this have happened?

When he went back to change his clothes, the second brother and the others were discussing with a smile.

Xiaoyanzi was looking forward to Duanmu Qing's dance, and so were the others, but it was also true that she missed home.

While waiting, she sat on the table, her chin in her hand, her heart filled with unspeakable longing.

Huo Chengyue noticed that she was unhappy, so he came forward, touched her little head, and said softly, "Are you unhappy? Are you homesick? Wait until I give Duanmu Qing a lecture and I'll let him let you go home."

The warm touch on her head made her feel warm in her heart. Although she didn't know why the girl cared about her so much, Xiaoyanzi was still very happy to be taken care of gently.

"Well, I see."

Xiaoyanzi raised the corners of her lips slightly, hiding her inner discomfort, and nodded.

The second and fifth brothers looked at each other. They had had contact with Xiaoyanzi before, although not much, but after spending the past few days together, they both liked this child very much.

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Xiaoyanzi felt a little uneasy. How was her father? They had never told her the truth when they came back these few days. When they mentioned the capital, they talked about other things, which made her feel uneasy.

Xiaoyanzi looked at Lao Er and the others, seeming to be hesitant to speak. She really wanted to ask if the Xiao family was doing well, but she was afraid to ask something that would make her uncomfortable.

The second, fifth and sixth brothers were standing not far away discussing the Pavilion Master's upcoming dance. Their eyes met Xiaoyanzi's, and they looked away, walked away and began to mutter to each other.

"Why does Princess Xiaoyan look at us like that? Did we do anything? Or does she want to ask something?"

"I don't know. What do you want to ask, Gege? How about we ask?"

"Oh, by the way, have you told Gege that the Xiao family is fine?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the murmurs stopped immediately.

The next moment, the three of them said in unison, "No, did you say it?"

Then, the three of them shook their heads again, "I didn't say that, I thought you did."

Now I understand. Maybe the princess saw them coming back and was worried about the Xiao family, but none of them told her that the Xiao family was fine, which made the princess feel very miserable.

Since this is the case, it’s easy to talk about it.

The three men called Xiaoyanzi aside and told her that the Xiao family was fine. They also told her that her family missed her very much. Xiaoyanzi felt very sad to hear this, and she felt even more resentful towards Duanmu Qing, but she also had a good impression of these heroes who, like her father, helped the people in their own way.

Xiaoyanzi thought that they were heroes like her father, who were chivalrous and righteous. Although they had never been to the battlefield to defend their country, they were able to do things to punish evil and eliminate evil, which made them worthy of her respect. After all, she was the same as them in her previous life.

Knowing that the Xiao family was fine, she was completely relieved and could watch Duanmu Qing dance with peace of mind.

Everyone waited in the courtyard for a long time, and finally Duanmu Qing came over shyly, having changed his clothes.

I saw Duanmu Qing, a handsome and well-built man, wearing a light blue suit, which made his fair skin look even more handsome. He held a sword in his hand, and facing so many pairs of eyes on him, he couldn't help but walk awkwardly.

But then I thought, he only promised everyone to dance for Xiaoyanzi, but he didn't say what dance to perform.

Sword dance is also dance, right? He can dance with a sword.

Thinking of this, he changed his awkward steps, raised his head and chest confidently, strode to the front of everyone, and said in a bright voice, "Since I was rude at the moment and offended the little princess, I specially danced with the sword to appease the little princess. Please be a witness."

The brothers of Qingyun Pavilion, who had thought they would see the Pavilion Master perform some beautiful dances like a little girl, were suddenly disappointed and booed continuously.

But Duanmu Qing would not indulge them. After obtaining Xiaoyanzi's consent, he began to dance with the sword.

It was the first time for Huo Chengyue, Huo Yuqi and Xiao Yanzi to see him dance with a sword. The three of them watched with burning eyes and great interest.

To praise Xiaoyanzi's current level of education, which she has just acquired, would probably be: she looks heroic, her dancing is graceful, her sword-fighting is awe-inspiring, and quite shocking.

As she watched, she couldn't help but want to try sword dancing. She turned around and found a thin stick on the ground. She moved her small body nimbly to Duanmu Qing's side and started to dance with the stick in her hand in a very professional manner.

That cute, charming and yet lively appearance made everyone applaud.

People who know martial arts have discovered Xiaoyanzi. Although she is young, she has learned a lot. Her martial arts skills are not that good, but when she wields a stick, she really has the feeling that a woman is as good as a man. If she is trained from a young age, she will definitely be a famous female knight in the future.

When Duanmu Qing was dancing with the sword, his posture was agile and his eyes were firm. He glanced at Xiaoyanzi who was following his sword dance and his eyes were full of smiles. He even smiled and cooperated with her movements. It was obviously the first time for the two of them to dance with the sword, but they cooperated very well. Xiaoyanzi watched for a while and according to the mediocre Kung Fu she had learned in her previous life, sword dancing was no problem for her. The cooperation between the two of them made everyone smile.

The cheers continued.

After a while, Xiaoyanzi finally stopped panting. Duanmu Qing finished dancing with his sword, then walked to Xiaoyanzi with a smile, picked her up, and said in a cheerful voice, "How do you think our little princess's sword dance is? If you think it's good, applause."

Xiaoyanzi was suddenly picked up and was so scared that she hugged his neck. Then she heard the cheers and applause of the crowd. Her little face was red from the exercise and now it was even darker, but the corners of her lips couldn't stop rising, and she was obviously very happy.

She was not afraid of the stage either. She clasped her hands together, looked like a child of the underworld, and said to everyone in a childish voice, "Thank you all for your support."

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. This little swallow is so adorable.

Huo Yuqi looked at Xiaoyanzi with admiration and cheered, "Sister Xiaoyanzi, you are so amazing. I admire you so much."

The little swallow was almost blown away by her flattery. She thought that if she was not held by her father, she would have spread her wings and flown away involuntarily.

Even so, she couldn't help but press the corners of her lips and pretended to be modest and said, "Hey, thank you for the compliment."

Everyone looked at them with smiles on their faces, and felt that such cute children were truly lovable.

Duanmu Qing hugged Xiaoyanzi and praised her for a while, then said, "Xiaoyanzi, I want to take you as my apprentice, are you willing?"

Xiaoyanzi thought about it. Although Duanmu Qing and her father had not yet competed in martial arts, she always felt that Uncle Duanmu's martial arts was better than her father's. Besides, no matter what, more masters mean more options. Thinking of this, she nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

Huo Yuqi was unhappy when he saw this. He ran to Duanmu Qing, hugged his father's thighs with both hands, and shouted, "Daddy, please teach me too. I want to worship you as my master."

Duanmu Qing glanced at Huo Chengyue with a questioning look, and after seeing her nod with a smile, he smiled and said, "Okay, but it's too late for you to say that. Xiaoyanzi will be your senior sister from now on, and you will be your junior brother. If you agree, then it's fine."

Huo Yuqi heard this and asked in disbelief, "Ah? I, I'm older than Sister Xiaoyanzi, how can I call her Senior Sister?"

Before Duanmu Qing could say anything, Xiaoyanzi shook her little feet and said happily, "But, becoming a disciple does not matter by age, it only matters by order. I became a disciple before you, so you have to call me Senior Sister, hehe."

Huo Yuqi thought about it, well, since he had heard Xiaoyanzi call him brother, it would be fair for him to call her senior sister now, so he raised his little face and said obediently, "Hello, Master, hello, senior sister."
