People are singing in the tide, but there is no crown

After one night, Jinzhou City regained its vibrant appearance.

The Moon-Chasing Festival was getting closer, and even the side courtyard was filled with celebratory lanterns. It was visible to the naked eye that everyone’s face was filled with joy.

The Moon-Chasing Festival takes place every year, but this year's seems to be a little more special.

After all, after going through so much, especially the major event of defeating Narutoshiki, he finally needs an opportunity to break out.

From Yinlin, Ling An learned that a few days before the Moon-Chasing Festival, everyone would go to Taoyuan Village to pray.

It is said that there is a wishing tree there that always answers the prayer call. It has become a custom in this state to pray under the tree and deliver one's wishes.

Ling An naturally didn't believe this.

If you can make your wish come true by praying to a tree, that would be too cheap.

But just as she and Changli had said at Chengxiao Mountain, when she was young, the people in the village would write their wishes on the first snow.

After all, it's nothing more than simple people's expectations for the future.

Logically speaking, it is better to make a wish to Ling An than to the wishing tree.

The chances might be even greater.

After all, he is a master of dream fulfillment, and he will understand everything he knows.

But as the old saying goes, since you're already here, Ling An looked up at the wishing tree in front of him, closed his eyes, muttered twice, and handed the note with the wish into the tree.

That completes the wish.

Ling An looked around and nothing happened.

Many citizens around him had the same pious expressions as him.

Ling An was curious and didn't know what wishes they had in their hearts.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind.

After thinking for a moment, Ling An leaped up and landed above the wishing tree. The golden light enveloped his whole body, and he felt extremely holy for a moment.

"What is this? Has the wishing tree become a spirit?" Someone noticed something strange and exclaimed.

Ling An sat upright in the air. Under the protection of the light, others could not see his face clearly. He spoke loudly, his voice was a mixture of hundreds of different tones, and at this moment it became serious and quite divine.

"Tell me your wishes," he said loudly.

"Okay, okay, I knew this wishing tree is real. My Lord Tree Spirit, I want to make a wish to become a rich woman in my next life!" a woman shouted at Ling An.

"Okay, I'll be a pregnant woman in my next life. Use your magic power!" Ling An stretched out his hand and pointed, and a golden light dissipated.

"no--"

Before she could say anything, another man spoke first: "I, I, I, I want to be a shareholder of a big company in my next life!"

"Okay, if you want to work as a laborer at a large construction site, I'll satisfy you!" Ling An pointed again, "Use your magic power!"

He looked down: "Whoever else, I will satisfy you."

There was silence below, and soon there were bursts of whispers.

"This tree spirit, his ears don't seem to be very sensitive..."

"A little bit, would you like to try again?"

"Okay, Mr. Dryad, I want to be a scientist in my next life!"

"What, you want grilled fish and shrimp? I'll satisfy you!"

Ling An waved his hand and everything was satisfied.

Under the wishing tree, there was silence.

It is confirmed that this tree spirit is indeed a little hard of hearing.

Ling An looked down with a smile, and suddenly felt a sharp attack.

He jumped quickly and landed on the ground.

Looking back, I saw a sharp knife turning in the air and returning to a white and slender hand.

Seeing the person coming, Ling An touched his head with a little embarrassment. He wondered who it was, and it turned out to be Chao Mei.

"Long time no see, haha." He smiled awkwardly.

At this time, the citizens who were making wishes under the tree discovered Ling An's identity.

"So it was Patrol Officer Ling An who was teasing us, hahaha!"

"I thought the wishing tree had become a spirit. Let's go. Patrol Officer Ling An, remember to come and play at our booth!"

Everyone waved to Ling An and walked towards Taoyuan Village with a smile.

Nowadays, Ling An is well-known in Jinzhou. Faced with his teasing, everyone is not angry, but just laughs.

Under the tree, Chao Mei held her forehead helplessly: "I said I was going to look for you, but I didn't expect to run into you here pretending to be a ghost. You are so naughty, come here quickly!"

Ling An was exposed, and he jumped into Chao Mei's arms, and said honestly: "Isn't this a coincidence? Did you make a wish?"

Chao Mei smiled slightly: "Why, you want to give me a deafness wish too?"

It turned out that she had heard it just now. Ling An chuckled and said, "How could that be? I'm serious. This wishing tree."

"I just met Yangyang and the others in Taoyuan Village and learned that there is a custom of praying here. I didn't expect to see you as soon as I arrived. However, there is a problem with the wishing tree now." Chaomei explained word by word.

Hearing this, Ling An nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, this wishing tree can really make wishes come true?"

"Yes, according to what Mr. Xiang Li Yao said, it is indeed true." Chao Mei pointed and revealed a man tinkering with a small robot behind her.

"Do you want it?" Ling An looked up and the other party gave him a kind look.

He has short brown hair that gradually turns white at the ends. The most eye-catching thing is his right hand, which is actually a robotic arm.

"I'm Xiang Liyao. This is the first time I meet Patrol Captain Ling An." Xiang Liyao greeted him politely.

Ling An had heard of his name. When he was in Yuanniao Lake, it was he who contacted the local residents to investigate the news of the Aishengying.

It is said that the other party is the chief researcher of Huaxu Research Institute and rarely appears in public.

Obviously, he and Chao Mei had just met.

Then, Xiang Li continued to lower his head and tinker with the little red robot in front of him.

Ling An looked at Chao Mei: "So something went wrong. No wonder the wish I made just now didn't come true."

Hearing Ling An say this, Chao Mei was also interested and asked Ling An leisurely, "So, what wish did you make?"

"Hey, why would you ask about other people's wishes for no reason?" Ling An refused.

"Is there a secret?" Chaomei's face changed.

"Wanderer, your wish won't come true if you speak it out loud." Xiangli heard the conversation here and smiled to help Ling An out.

"Okay, I'll let you go this time." Chao Mei looked at Xiang Li Yao suspiciously, "Did the inspection reveal anything wrong?"

On the other side, Xiangli brought up a blue operating interface. After a series of clicks that Ling An couldn't understand, the little red robot made a sound:

"Command initiator: Xiangli Yao, passed the authentication, and performed the 231st self-test... Self-test failed..."

Apparently, there was something wrong with the little robot.

Xiang Li Yao was puzzled and analyzed: "Could it be that the collected wish data is too large, causing data turbulence and resulting in the mixing of abnormal data?"

Then, he looked at Ling An and explained, "This is Xiao Pa. It is usually responsible for collecting everyone's wishes."
