A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

Soon it was night, and Pei Cangli, Qian Yao, and her senior brother went out together to stroll on the street.

In order to be closer to Zhou Yunsi, Qian Yao suggested that the four of them walk there. Qian Yao wanted to stay close to Zhou Yunsi along the way, but Sun Shang always interfered.

Pei Cangli followed silently behind them. She didn't want to get involved in the Shura scene of these three people.

The streets of the town are bustling with people, everyone is dressed in festive costumes and has bright smiles on their faces.

Children ran and played with lanterns, their laughter echoing in the air, while the elderly gathered together, talking about the lively scene, their eyes full of satisfaction.

Today is actually the Lantern Festival. Pei Cangli smiled bitterly. Unfortunately, she no longer liked celebrating the Lantern Festival since she was ten years old in her previous life.

The lanterns on the streets are dazzling, the fireworks bloom brightly in the night sky, and people's laughter fills the ears.

Looking at the three people in front of him walking side by side, talking and laughing, Pei Cangli felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart.

The beautiful lanterns lost their color in her eyes. The happiness of the people around her seemed to be separated from her by an invisible barrier, making it impossible for her to blend in.

The road ahead seemed to be extremely long, and every step was filled with loneliness. The bitterness in his heart spread like a tide, making it almost impossible for Pei Cangli to breathe.

Suddenly, a lifelike rabbit lamp appeared in front of Pei Cangli, with cute long ears and eyes that seemed to be sparkling with lively light.

There were noisy sounds all around, and Pei Cangli only heard what the person in front of him seemed to say, but unfortunately he couldn't hear it clearly.

Then she felt Si Yunzhou leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Cangli, happy holidays!"

Not far away, there was a sudden cheer. It turned out that another firework was blooming in the sky.

The fireworks streaked across the sky like meteors, instantly illuminating the entire night sky. The person wearing a rabbit mask opposite seemed to have a ray of light on his body, illuminating Pei Cangli's dark heart.

The two of them just stood there quietly, surrounded by the laughter of the crowd, fireworks blooming one after another, and the magnificent sight made others amazed.

The people around were all exclaiming in admiration, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Cangli, I know you are in a bad mood. Maybe this festival brought back bad memories for you, but I hope that every time you think back to the Lantern Festival in the future, you can also have good memories of being with me."

"I wish to spend every Lantern Festival with you in the future, and use those beautiful memories to slowly cover up your painful past."

In this noisy festival, Pei Cangli seemed like a person forgotten by the world, but Si Yunzhou's words were like the bright fireworks, dispersing the haze deep in her heart.

The time the two of them had spent together, as well as Si Yunzhou's words today, were very touching to Pei Cangli.

It’s a pity that Pei Cangli didn’t dare to admit that his heart was shaken so quickly. It must be because of today’s environment.

Maybe it was the suspension bridge effect. She had been having heart pain recently and her willpower was reduced, so she was triggered. That must be the case.

Pei Cangli turned around and wanted to escape. She couldn't stay with Si Yunzhou anymore. The high wall in her heart was built with great difficulty, and she would never allow it to collapse so quickly.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Li, please come and see this lantern."

Qian Yao's voice sounded behind him, and Pei Cangli could only walk back silently, trying not to look at Si Yunzhou.

Pei Cangli walked forward slowly, and there were stalls selling lanterns on both sides of the road. There were so many kinds of lanterns!

There are delicate and small lotus lanterns, and the tender pink petals seem to have just bloomed, making people want to reach out and touch them.

There's also a lifelike fox lamp that's exactly the same as the one on her mask.

Pei Cangli was about to reach out to take it when Qian Yao, who was standing next to him, took it in her hand and said to Si Yunzhou coquettishly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, can you give me this fox lantern?"

"I only buy one lamp at a time. I just bought this rabbit lamp and gave it to my junior brother, so I can't buy the fox lamp."

"Junior sister, if he doesn't buy it, I'll buy it for you."

Sun Shang then paid for the fox lamp, but unfortunately Qian Yao didn't want the lamp, but Si Yunzhou's preference.

Pei Cangli actually wanted to exchange the rabbit lamp for the fox lamp. First, she liked the fox lamp, and second, she wanted Si Yunzhou to give up.

Unfortunately, Si Yunzhou saw through her thoughts and sent her a message, "Cangli, if you exchange the rabbit lamp for the fox lamp, I will carry you away in public. Think about it yourself."

Really, Si Yunzhou shouldn’t have known that she had no spiritual power, otherwise she wouldn’t have been threatened like this.

Considering that Si Yunzhou might really do this, and Pei Cangli didn't want others to target him so soon, he had to give up.

Besides, she is still dressed like a man now. If Si Yunzhou really does that, who knows how others will look at them.

Unexpectedly, Pei Cangli gave up the idea, but Qian Yao actually came up with this idea.

So he said to Pei Cangli, "Fellow Daoist Li, how about I exchange the fox lantern for your rabbit lantern?"

"No big deal, my junior brother just likes the rabbit lantern."

Before Pei Cangli could say anything, Si Yunzhou directly and coldly refused, and Pei Cangli could only shake his head obediently.

He laughed and said, "I will listen to my senior brother."

Now that she has no spiritual power, she is like the rabbit on the rabbit lamp, and can only be manipulated by others.

Qian Yao had to give up reluctantly, and the group of four walked forward and soon came to a stall with all kinds of hairpins on display.

Si Yunzhou walked up to the stall and chose between two hairpins, one of which was engraved with green bamboo and the other with pear blossoms.

Seeing Si Yunzhou choosing a hairpin, Qian Yao thought he bought it for her, so she whispered, "The pear flower one is too petty, I like the green bamboo one."

"Junior Brother Li, which one do you think is good-looking?"

Si Yunzhou suddenly asked Pei Cangli, who felt overwhelmed. Could he please stop asking her all the time? Sending her lanterns was weird enough.

Now a hairpin is asking her, is Si Yunzhou afraid that people will not doubt them? She can only pretend to glance at them casually and say lightly, "Both are OK."

"Pack these two, please."

After paying the bill, Si Yunzhou put away the two hairpins. Qian Yao, on the other hand, was still waiting for Si Yunzhou to give them to her, but there was no response for a long time.

I could only ask tentatively, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you bought two hairpins at once. Have you already decided who to give them to?"

"Yes, for the best person in the world."

After saying that, he looked in the direction of Pei Cangli. Qian Yao happened to be standing with Pei Cangli and thought that Si Yunzhou was looking at her.

Her heart leapt with joy instantly, with a hint of shyness showing on her face.

On the contrary, Sun Shang who was standing behind him could see clearly that Fellow Daoist Zhou was actually looking at his junior fellow apprentice, not Qian Yao.

Sun Shang had some suspicion in his heart, but he felt it was impossible, so he secretly pulled Qian Yao aside while Pei Cangli and the other person went to the front.

"Junior sister, don't you think that Brother Zhou is a little too nice to his junior brother? Just like I treat you."

"Isn't it normal for brothers to take care of each other? Fellow Daoist Zhou also said that Fellow Daoist Li used to take care of him in this way. Don't you think that Brother Li won't take care of me, your junior sister, when he goes out?"

"Yao'er, that's different. I treat you not only as a senior brother and sister, but also because I like you. It's impossible for Daoist Zhou and Daoist Li, two men, to treat you the same way I do, right?"

"Sun Shang, I realize that you are slandering them in this way in order to stop me from marrying Brother Zhou."

After saying this, he strode forward and stopped talking to Sun Shang.

"Junior sister, if you don't believe me, just wait and see if you will receive the hairpin."
