Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

The cats of Xingluo Squad passed through the city gate, and the view before them suddenly opened up. The warm sunlight poured unreservedly onto the wide square.

"Wow, it's worthy of being a major sect! The feeling is different, even the floor feels so comfortable!"

The bluestone pavement under your feet has been polished by time to a bright shine, reflecting warm light.

"That's right, that's right! If the troupe owner were here, she might want to go to the opera right away!"

"You're absolutely right, but one of you might be in trouble!"

"Hahaha……"

Around the square, tall ancient trees rise from the ground, and their lush branches and leaves intertwine with each other, forming patches of natural green shade.

"Whoo~"

A breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled, as if playing a soft melody.

"Haha, you guys can't fly as high as me, come and catch me!"

"Okay, let's see who can fly higher!"

Not far away, a group of kittens were laughing and chasing each other in the square, with colorful kites in their hands flying freely in the blue sky, like a group of lively birds.

"Whoo~"

Shops are lined up on the street, and the shop signs sway gently in the breeze.

In the pastry shop, the freshly baked pastries are steaming hot and exuding a sweet fragrance, attracting the attention of passing cats.

In the teahouse, the aroma of freshly brewed tea wafts in the air, and tea drinkers sip tea and chat leisurely.

"Here, fish balls, fish balls, fresh handmade fish balls..."

The butcher cut the meat with his knife, making a "dong dong" sound.

"Come, look at this fabric..."

The owner of the fabric shop was all smiles as she patiently introduced various fabrics to customers.

The shouting and bargaining sounds that come one after another play a symphony full of the flavor of life.

"Wow! This is completely different from what we expected!"

Bai Tang's eyes widened, and he jumped up and down in excitement, with the tip of his nose twitching constantly.

"Da Fei, the pastries over there smell amazing, let's go check it out!"

As he said that, he rushed towards the store.

"Humph……"

Wu Song grabbed Bai Tang's tail and looked around vigilantly:

"Don't let your guard down. The quieter this place is, the more problems it may have. I can't forget the strange chanting and the warning from my senior sister in my mind."

"Ha ha……"

At this moment, an old man with a white beard walked over slowly. He was wearing a long robe that had been washed white, and had a kind smile on his face:

"Guests from afar, welcome to the Chang Sect. Judging from your appearance, you are from the Xingluo class, right?"

"Um?"

Mo Zi's originally calm brows frowned instantly, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

She thought to herself: We never revealed our identities, how could this old man know? Something unusual must be going on.

She observed the old man calmly, trying to find clues from his expression and movements, and her hand unconsciously reached for the weapon at her waist.

"Who is this old guy..."

Xiaoqing beside her bowed politely, her eyes full of doubts:

"Old man, how did you know we were from the Xingluo Squad? We were just passing through and wanted to rest for a while in the Zong Palace."

"Oh?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and the wrinkles on his face trembled:

"You little guys, don't hide anything from an old man like me. The Xingluo Squad has been doing chivalrous things all the way and has gained a great reputation. A few days ago, news came that you were heading towards the Chang Sect."

"..."

Although the old man explained it clearly, Mo Zi's doubts did not diminish in the slightest.

"Humph……"

She gave her companions a subtle wink, and Dafei immediately understood what she meant. He quietly went behind the old man and blocked his retreat.

"Old man, it seems that you know a lot about the Xingluo Squad."

Mo Zi stared at the old man's eyes, with a hint of temptation in his voice.

"I wonder if you could tell us what's so fun about this Chang Zong?"

"well……"

The old man smiled and introduced enthusiastically:

"If you want to have fun, you can't miss the Changzong Market. There's also the night market behind the Zong Palace. It's very lively at night!"

After bidding farewell to the old man, Xingluoban embarked on a journey to explore the Chang Sect.

"Then we'll see you later, Grandpa..."

But they didn't know that from the moment he turned around, the old man's turbid eyes instantly became sharp.

"Ha ha……"

He looked at Xingluoban's back, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured in a low voice:

"finally come……"

Then he followed slowly behind, hiding in the bustling crowd of cats.

……

At the market, the cats were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods.

Bai Tang was attracted by the stall selling sugar cats. He stared at the sugar figures of various shapes and muttered:

"This sugar cat looks more beautiful than any I've ever seen before. I really want to take a bite."

Wu Song stopped in front of the weapons shop, picked up a sharp broadsword, and swung it a few times. The blade cut through the air, making a whirring sound. He exclaimed in admiration:

"This knife fits my hand perfectly!"

Although Wu Song appeared calm on the surface, his eyes were scanning the surroundings vigilantly. He was always on guard and secretly paying attention to the actions of every passerby.

Xiaoqing took Mo Zi with her and stopped in front of some small jewelry stalls from time to time. Xiaoqing picked up an exquisite hairpin and said with a smile:

"Sister, this hairpin suits you very well."

Mo Zi smiled, but his eyes kept looking at the cats from time to time, keeping an eye on the old man.

……

As the sun gradually sets, the sunset covers Changzong with a gorgeous coat.

In the night market, lanterns light up one after another, just like stars falling on the earth.

The streets are filled with the aroma of delicious food, and all kinds of special snacks are mouth-watering.

"Oh my god, who said these fish balls are old? These fish balls are so tender!"

As the Xingluo class savored the food and admired the night view, their tense mood gradually relaxed.

"I really don't care about my own safety. I actually relaxed..."

The old man always kept a distance from them, hiding in the shadows where the lanterns could not reach, and his eyes never left the Xingluo class.

……

After a day of shopping, everyone was exhausted.

Wu Song brought his friends to an inn that looked clean and tidy.

Wu Song raised his hand and pushed open the door of the inn, and the door hinge made a long "creaky" sound.

The shopkeeper greeted us warmly with a smile on his face:

"Dear guests, please come in! Our guest rooms are spacious and the beds are clean. I guarantee you will have a good night's sleep."

Wu Song nodded, finalized the room with the shopkeeper, and led the Xingluo Squad members to their respective rooms.

"Have a good sleep!"

The old man stood in the corner opposite the inn, staring at the inn's door.

The moonlight shone on him, outlining a mysterious and strange outline, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
