The biting cold wind can make the whole body tremble with just a slight inhalation.

Strelitzia was sleepy, and her long eyelashes seemed to still be lingering with sleepiness. She leaned softly on Ergou's shoulder and walked forward.

"Ha~ Why don't you guys go help me? I'll sleep at home for a while and then I'll come over after you're done."

Her voice was filled with laziness and fatigue, as if squeezed out from the depths of her throat.

If Ao Yu had not been so excited about what was ahead and had not walked at the front, she would have let Er Gou and Ao Yu carry her without hesitation.

However, now, she could only helplessly fight against sleepiness in this cold morning and follow the team step by step.

"What are you bragging about? Why don't you say you'll come over after we start eating? Aren't you afraid that Sister Xiao Tao will hit you on the head with her little fist?"

Ergou grinned and said that his mental state seemed to be quite good, perhaps this was closely related to the fact that he would soon be able to meet many beautiful girls.

Theresa couldn't help but turn her head to look at the two people who were teasing each other, and then turned her gaze to Ou, who was walking in the front of the team with great enthusiasm.

Bards have always loved lively places, not to mention that this is a party held by adventurers.

For them, this kind of occasion is like heaven.

Not only can you enjoy drinking wine, but you can also sing to your heart's content and praise those wonderful stories.

"Ah... It's so cold..."

Xiaotao rubbed her hands together tightly and pulled her clothes tighter.

Among this group of people moving forward, Xiaotao is obviously the one who is least able to tolerate the cold.

Despite being the child of a fireman, she doesn't seem to have acquired any of the fireman's abilities, aside from her unfortunately blind eyes.

However, this is also a good thing.

Driven by instinct, Xiaotao involuntarily moved towards Theresa's direction and gradually approached her.

"Come closer."

Theresa stretched out her arm and gently held Xiaotao in her arms.

"Ahaha, look at those two little ones, they have such a good relationship!"

Fan Xier, who was following behind, couldn't help but sigh.

He shook his head, looking away from the two people in front of him, and turned to look at Ergou and Strelitzia beside him. He frowned and said, "Look at you two again, what a mess you look like! It's totally disgraceful!"

Ergou was very unhappy when he heard this. He widened his eyes and yelled at Fanxier.

"Hey, hey, hey? Uncle Fan, you have to understand what's going on! It's obviously Xiao He who suddenly had an attack, okay? Besides, why do you think it's so warm and beautiful when they're close together? And why are we called indecent even though we're close together? This isn't fair!"

Fan Xier seemed to be deaf to Er Gou's protests. He continued to stride forward without even turning his head. He simply responded indifferently, "I see, this isn't a normal way of getting along. It's clearly just fellow patients discussing their conditions."

"Oh my! What the hell are you trying to do? We need to cheer up and raise our spirits, okay? Who knows, if we perform well this time, we might be able to successfully restore our firm to its former glory and earn the guild's prestigious reputation once again!"

Ao Yu shouted anxiously, but he had a lot of pain in his heart.

"Recently, other guilds have invited me to join, but I didn't go. I've been foolishly waiting for the day when our Dakong Office becomes the Dakong Guild."

Their small firm had no access to any of the rights and benefits that the guild should have enjoyed.

He watched helplessly as other guilds prospered and flourished, while his own guild remained deserted and showed no signs of improvement. Sometimes he even had to sell skewers to maintain operations.

"Then go ahead. We didn't say we had to keep you by force. But once you get there, it's hard to say whether anyone will believe your stories about dragons."

Xiao Tao muttered silently, "I'm afraid there won't be anyone as silly and foolish as Xiao He who would be willing to go crazy and make trouble with you. So, if you can accept all these situations calmly, then you can leave here without any worries."

"Sister Xiaotao, what you said is not right."

When Ao Yu heard what Xiao Tao said, he subconsciously slowed down his pace and slowly retreated to her side.

"Don't you have any hope that Dakong Office will become the focus of people's after-dinner conversation? We live in this world and should make our lives exciting and wonderful, right?"

Xiao Tao didn't stop walking, her eyes calmly staring ahead, and she asked softly, "Aren't our lives exciting enough right now?"

She turned her face slightly, looking at Ao Yu with a gentle and tolerant look in her pale eyes.

"I understand your feelings, Ou. You love everyone in the firm from the bottom of your heart, so you are single-mindedly trying to strive for better things for everyone. Once you achieve some goals, you may find that the purest and most authentic beauty you once had has quietly faded away."

After Xiao Tao finished speaking, she gently reached out her hand and pinched Theresa's cheek, then casually glanced at the people behind her.

Even though she couldn't actually see anyone.

“I’m not someone without ambition, but sometimes, we should just hold on to the ordinariness and preciousness of what’s in front of us.”

"puff."

Hearing this, Theresa couldn't help but laugh softly.

This Xiao Tao really deserves to be the boss!

Ergou, who was standing behind him, raised an eyebrow and said jokingly, "Oh my! Why is the normally eloquent bard being lectured by a little kid today?"

As he spoke, a smirk played on his face, as if he found the scene before him quite amusing.

Facing Ergou's teasing, Ao Yu seemed very unimpressed and retorted with disdain: "Then tell me, are you calling me Xiaotao or Sister Xiaotao? Don't you know what the word "jie" means?"

After saying that, Ao Yu rolled his eyes at Ergou.

With a smile on his face, Fanxier stretched out his hand, placed it on Ao Yu's shoulder, and patted it a few times with a little force.

"Xiao Tao, although she's young, sometimes she says things that make sense. Ou Yu, don't worry too much about the title. Being a family is better than anything else."

"That's right, we are indeed a family. We share the good and the bad, so our lives are just to help others."

Hearing this, Ou's originally tense face relaxed a little and he pointed his finger forward.

"Hey, everyone at the Daisora ​​Office! Shall we get busy then?"
