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

Time flies. Two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Winter has gone and spring has come. In the blink of an eye, it is already April.

April is Xiaoyanzi’s birthday. She is four years old. Since her parents and family are not around, her uncle, aunt, master and other uncles celebrate her birthday together.

Xiaoyanzi had forgotten her birthday. Several masters took turns teaching her early in the morning, allowing her to memorize a lot of knowledge in her little head. She felt a little dizzy, but she could still remember the general idea.

When she received the birthday gifts from her master and others, she was so surprised that she wanted to cry. She was very happy that she had a new life and was loved and cared for by so many people. She was very happy.

Now, two months have passed, and she finally doesn't have to do horse stance and running every day, but can learn some moves.

Normally, she and Ertai taught separately, but Li Xiangyi and others thought that after all, the children were together, so instead of teaching them separately, it would be better to let them study together. In this way, they could know each other's progress and make adjustments.

It’s just that the teaching contents are different. Later, in order to prevent others from being affected, they decided to integrate their skills into one set. In this way, the three children can be taught together, according to different masters and different progress.

Li Xiangyi probably also knew the source of his and his senior brother's tragedy. When he was teaching the children, he did not forget to teach them about morals and the principles of being a human being.

For those who are not good at learning, he would encourage them and find ways to enlighten them, just to prevent them from being stubborn like his senior brothers and then hating their fellow disciples.

Xiaoyanzi is very intelligent and learns very quickly. Ertai has the highest comprehension and does well in his studies. Huo Yuqi is a little naive but also does very well in his studies. These three children are all good, and it is a pleasure for Li Xiangyi and others to teach them.

Just like that, the years passed quickly and two years went by in the blink of an eye.

Snowflakes fluttered down and landed on the ground, disappearing in an instant. Looking around, the mountaintop of the Divine Doctor Valley was already covered with snow. The white snow concealed the desolate mountaintop, but could not cover up the dazzling red color.

The Valley of Divine Doctors is as bustling as ever, but today it is even more lively because today is New Year's Eve.

Red lanterns were hung in every room in the valley, and red window decorations and couplets were pasted on the doors. In the evening, Grandma Qin and Huo Chengyue were busy preparing New Year's meals in the kitchen.

Li Xiangyi, Di Feisheng, Fang Duobing and Duanmu Qing were pasting window flowers.

Among these four, who is not a child of destiny?

The former leader of the Sigu Sect, later known as Doctor Li, the former leader of the Jinyuan League, the son of the Minister of Revenue, the future princess consort, and the grandson of the martial arts leader, the leader of the Qinglong Pavilion.

Who among them had ever done the work of pasting window paper-cuts and couplets? But they didn't want to ask others to do it, because this was the first time they had pasted couplets and window paper-cuts together, and this might be the last time they would gather together peacefully in this small valley, doing what a family should do.

The year before, because they were fully focused on teaching their children, they didn't make any preparations even though it was the New Year. They just wanted to bring their apprentices out as soon as possible so that they could feel relieved.

However, time passed quickly and two years had passed. Li Xiangyi and the other two knew that when they returned, they might no longer be able to gather in a small valley like they did now, like a family, spending time together day and night, looking at flowers in their spare time, teaching their children, and doing ordinary things.

When they return, they will go their separate ways. Fang Duobing should go back to get married and fulfill his promise to the princess. Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng haven't figured out their future path yet, but they all know that once they leave, their current peaceful life will no longer be there.

So they all cherish this year, this year that they all spend together, probably the last year.

Duanmu Qing didn't know what they were thinking. He just wanted to put up the couplet and take credit for it to his wife later.

In the past two years, he finally got Yueyue to agree to go to Duanmu's house with him after the New Year. He wanted to take her back to get married and take Qiqi back to recognize his ancestors.

Thinking of this, he felt happy.

The snow-capped Divine Doctor Valley appears peaceful and harmonious under the reflection of the red window grilles.

There were three cute children standing in the yard. A six-year-old girl was wearing a light green double-breasted long skirt and a lotus pink cape. Her long hair was combed into two cute little buns. At this moment, she was looking at the firework sticks in her hands with a smile in her eyes, watching the gorgeous fireworks bloom in her hands and then disappear in a flash. She felt regretful that fireworks were fleeting, but was happy to see the beauty of this moment.

Today, she has grown a lot taller than the four-year-old girl two years ago. She is almost as tall as nine-year-old Ertai. The baby fat on her face has disappeared due to the exercise in the past two years. Her bright big eyes are twinkling on her thin little face, which makes her look very cute.

The nine-year-old Ertai next to him has grown quite tall. After two years of training, his slender figure is covered by a gray robe. He wears a black cloak with white fur on his body, which makes his skin look dark and yellow. Under the sun and rain, Ertai is not as naive and simple as he was when he was a child. Now he can be regarded as a young boy.

Seeing Xiaoyanzi's happy look when playing with fireworks, Ertai's eyes flickered slightly. In the past few years, he didn't know why, but a figure always appeared in his dreams. Sometimes that figure was an adult woman, and sometimes it was the young Xiaoyanzi. He didn't know why he had this dream, but he had an idea in his mind. He wanted to protect Xiaoyanzi well and not let her get hurt.

When she grows up, he wants to marry her.

This was the idea he finally confirmed after spending two years with her day and night.

Although he hasn't grown up yet, he has read a lot of books and knows a little bit. He doesn't think that he understands what love is at such a young age, but he only knows that the first time he saw her, he knew that he only wanted to be a family with her and marry her. This is also his dream and he will work hard for it.

Standing next to him was an eight-year-old boy, it was Huo Yuqi. Huo Yuqi was wearing a blue robe and a black cloak, which made him look a little bloated.

At this moment, he put his hands in his cloak, his face red from the cold, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why aren't you afraid of the cold?"

The cold wind whistled past. After Xiaoyanzi had released the fireworks sticks in her hand, she quickly threw them into the garbage bag, then tucked her hands into her cloak. She rubbed her frozen red hands in the cloak, but her face was full of smiles. "It's the New Year, isn't it just one or two days to play to my heart's content? I'm cold too, but I can bear it temporarily for the sake of having fun."

Ertai was holding a small thermos in his hand. When he saw Xiaoyanzi had finished setting off her fireworks, he quickly handed the thermos to her. Looking at her red, frozen hands, he said distressedly, "Hold the thermos and warm it up."

Xiaoyanzi happily took it and subconsciously wanted to thank him, but she remembered what Ertai said, "No matter what I do for you, I don't want you to say thank you to me, because we are friends and family."

Thinking of this, she took back what she wanted to say subconsciously, and just smiled at him, "Okay, I know."

Ertai smiled at her.

Huo Yuqi saw Xiaoyanzi holding the thermos with a smile on her face, so he couldn't help but ask Ertai, "I want a thermos, too."

Ertai replied coldly, "Go back and get it yourself."

Huo Yuqi gritted her teeth. This guy, who forgot his friends for the sake of a woman, was really going too far.
