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

Xiao Mansion, in Xiaoyanzi's yard.

Everyone gathered in front of the door to watch Ertai, Erkang, Yongqi and others prepare for the duel.

Ziwei couldn't understand the martial arts techniques, but the others were all martial artists. When Ertai and Erkang were fighting, their light postures and swift movements were surprising.

If he wasn't so young, he might really be the second best in the world.

After a fight, Yongqi and Erkang were both defeated. It was not that they did not try hard, and the martial arts they learned were not bad. It was just that they felt that Biertai's martial arts were not from the same world. His martial arts were very clean and neat, which was really admirable.

The two of them were not angry after losing, but patted Ertai on the shoulder with full of admiration. It was obvious that he had worked hard and suffered a lot in the past two years.

Ertai smiled at them innocently, obviously feeling happy and pleased to be appreciated by his brothers.

At this time, Xiaoyanzi's voice came from the door.

"What are you doing?"

Ziwei and Liuhong saw Xiaoyanzi coming back and went to greet her without hesitation.

"Xiaoyanzi, you are so rude. You should be punished for being gone for so long."

Liu Hong was wearing red and blue long-sleeved shirt and long pants, tied with a belt which made her look neat and tidy. When she saw Xiaoyanzi coming back, she smiled and ran to her and patted the back of her hand gently.

Seeing so many good friends there, Xiaoyanzi's eyes were full of smiles. She greeted everyone with a smile and walked into the house while talking. Her maid followed behind her holding many gifts. These were all for her friends.

The reason why she was delayed for so long was because she wanted to give gifts to her parents and grandpa. Now that she saw all her friends were here, she said happily, "It's great that you are all here. Ertai and I picked out many gifts for you when we came back. Do you like them?"

She pulled Ziwei and Ertai back to the living room inside the house and sat down. There were many exquisite boxes on the table.

Xiaoyanzi sat in the main seat, with her good sister Ziwei sitting on her left and Liuhong sitting on her right. After them were Erkang, Ertai, Benjamin, Liu Qing, Xiaofeng and Yongqi.

Several people sat around a table, looking at the gifts piled on the table, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"Xiaoyanzi, how much did you buy for us?"

Ziwei glanced at the exquisitely wrapped gift box on the table and looked at Xiaoyanzi with amusement.

Xiaoyanzi chuckled, she stood up, tiptoed and picked up the gift boxes on the table, "These gifts were selected by Uncle Fulunfu and me. I chose the boxes myself and wrapped them myself. Well, most of them were bought by me, and the other half should be bought by Ertai. I didn't buy much, but I thought that I hadn't seen you for two years and I couldn't attend your birthdays to give you gifts, so I gave each of you two gifts as my birthday gifts to make up for it."

She stood on tiptoe. Although she was tall, she still looked the shortest among the crowd. Xiaoyanzi pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. Fortunately, Ertai knew her well and brought her a stool for her to stand on.

Xiaoyanzi turned around and smiled at him, then took out the gifts she had chosen for everyone.

The others watched Ertai doing these things so skillfully, and they just felt that these two, probably because they had been together for a long time, seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"Ziwei, these two are for you, Liuhong, these two are for you, brother, these are yours, Liuqing, Erkang, Yongqi..."

These gift boxes were all wrapped by Xiaoyanzi herself, and there were some marks she left on them. The boxes were all different colors, and no one knew what gifts were inside except Xiaoyanzi.

Everyone present except Ertai received the gifts prepared by Xiaoyanzi. They all had smiles on their faces. It turned out that when they were thinking about her and missing her, she had never forgotten them.

Xiaoyanzi looked at everyone and saw that they didn't open their gifts. After thinking for a while, she said, "Why don't you open them now and see if you like them?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then began to open their gifts, wanting to know what gifts Xiaoyanzi had prepared for them.

After Ziwei and Liuhong opened the two gift boxes, they found that their gifts were similar, both a set of dresses and shoes plus a set of exquisite jewelry.

The colors and styles are also based on their personalities. Ziwei's is a blue-purple color, which makes her look gentle and elegant, while Liuhong's is a red and blue tight dress, which makes her look elegant and free, and she has the temperament of a female hero.

The two of them were discussing the dress happily, with smiles on their faces.

The gifts from Yongqi, Erkang, Benjamin, Xiaofeng and Liu Qing are very similar, yet somewhat different.

What they received were some small weapons like knives, guns, sticks and clubs. These weapons were retractable, small and cute, and fun to play with. After all, they could now lift large weapons, but they were not as fun as these small weapons.

In addition, they also received some pendants such as jade pendants, but the styles were very different. However, it can be seen that they are very consistent with their personalities.

Seeing everyone so happy after receiving the gifts, Xiaoyanzi grinned and felt very satisfied.

Ertai tilted his head and looked at Xiaoyanzi, who was smiling happily, his eyes full of doting.

Seeing that all the gifts from Xiaoyanzi had been opened, Ertai also distributed the gifts he had bought for everyone and let everyone open them. The gifts were all similar, but they were thoughtful of both of them, so everyone was very happy.

There were just a few boxes left on the table, which were left for Qing'er. Qing'er was now in Mount Wutai, and no one knew when she would be able to come back.

"Did the old Buddha and the others say when they would be back?"

After the gifts were distributed, Xiaoyanzi lay on the table and asked curiously.

The afternoon sun came in through the door and shone on Xiaoyanzi's delicate little face, making her look a little ignorant and cute. Ertai was dazzled for a moment.

Yongqi glanced at Ertai, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then he replied, "The old Buddha said that the Japanese pirates have been rampant in the past two years, probably because God did not bless our Qing Dynasty, so she decided to go to Mount Wutai to practice and pray for the Qing Dynasty, at least three to five years, at most, more than ten years.

Before he left, Lafayette didn’t say how long he would be gone, so we don’t know either.”

"Ah? So long? Then your mother, Yongqi, won't come back either? And Qing'er and Aunt Princess won't come back either? Then won't it be a long time before we can meet again?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyanzi sat up straight, feeling that it was indeed a pity that her good friend left.

"Oh, who said it wasn't true? Next, you guys shouldn't leave, right?"

Xiao Feng asked softly to his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Hearing her brother's question, Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but ask, "Brother, when does Dad plan to go to Jianghu to catch the Japanese pirates? Are you planning to go too?"
