I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

Since Xiao Mingyan gifted Zhu Luo the priceless jade pendant, he has become Zhu Luo's number one fan and a true top fan.

In addition to the equally expensive Xuanming Sword, his status in Luo Luo's live stream room remains unmatched to this day.

According to the rules of the live streaming room, such big shots must enjoy exclusive fan benefits.

The first is specific fan groups.

Zhu Luo had already pulled him in, and his account had been harassed by other fans, all of which Zhu Luo had blocked.

Another privilege is that his activity is always shown first in the live stream. For well-known reasons, he has not participated in any other activities such as speaking, except for giving tips.

Exclusive discounts are probably not even worth considering for wealthy members of the royal family.

Don't even think about negotiating discounts with big spenders; they'll take it as an insult.

The biggest perk is the personalized service offered by the streamer, such as one-on-one chats and the gifting of small presents.

She can see him every day when she opens her eyes, and she's almost as often seen around him as Cang Xu, so she's fulfilled her mission of keeping him company.

Next came the small gifts.

The gift for the benefactor was all about the atmosphere; the sparkler was something she had prepared well in advance.

I had hoped that we could light these little colored sticks together during the grand fireworks display, and experience the dazzling flames that belonged only to him amidst the feast.

The appearance of Crown Prince Xiao Jingchi disrupted the plan; how could she not know what Banxia had mentioned?

She had no choice but to decline the invitation to avoid any complications.

"So tiny, is it also a firework?" Xiao Mingyan asked seriously.

The fireworks tonight truly opened his eyes; the night was as bright as day, and he had never seen such a magnificent spectacle.

As the commander-in-chief, he had far more to consider than the ordinary people who were marveling at the magnificent scenery.

He was more interested in the deep rumble of the fireworks before they went up into the sky; their power was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Someone should have figured it out by now.

"Of course, this can't compare to the fireworks in the sky, but this is right in front of you, and the feeling will be completely different. Young master, please close your eyes first."

Xiao Mingyan stared at her suspiciously.

"Don't worry, I won't ambush you. Brother Cang is standing right here." She turned around and waved to Cang Xu.

Cang Xu's back stiffened, and he abruptly turned to one side, standing still.

Zhu Luo pouted: "What a pity, he can't see it now."

Xiao Mingyan's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly, "You want him to see it too? Then go over there."

"No, this is for you, young master, only for you to see. Please close your eyes." Zhu Luo turned her back and, feeling guilty, reached out and pressed her hand against his eyes.

The next moment, he grabbed her wrist.

His instinctive reaction prevented him from killing the enemy.

He moved her hand away and said in a deep voice, "I'll close it, go ahead."

Zhu Luo clicked his tongue in amazement, and as he closed his eyes, he lit a sparkler.

"Alright, young master, open your eyes!"

Upon hearing a slight cracking sound, Xiao Mingyan opened his eyes.

What was once an ordinary wooden stick suddenly burst into colorful fireworks from its top, a truly beautiful sight.

Compared to the unattainable grand fireworks, it feels more real, a beauty that is within reach.

He was so engrossed in watching that he couldn't help but reach out his hand. Just then, the fireworks went out, and the light in his eyes vanished instantly.

"Although a sparkler can only burn for a short time, the flames it releases in an instant are more numerous than the stars in the sky."

Xiao Mingyan scoffed dismissively, "Big talk."

"It is true. There are nine heavens and nine provinces. After we release these nine, you will receive the protection of the entire universe. This is my return gift to you."

Xiao Mingyan was stunned.

The word "shelter" sounds so unfamiliar.

And the blessing was delivered by a stranger.

It seems there's one more thing I haven't experienced yet.

In a daze, the light in her eyes rose again, and Zhu Luo lit the second fairy wand.

"Young master, you can tell the spark whatever you wish for. When the spark goes out, your wish will be sent to the heavens."

"I'm afraid even God can't grant it." Xiao Mingyan scoffed, took the fire stick from her hand, and stared intently at it.

"How will you know if you don't try? Maybe there are already hints, just waiting for you to discover them, young master, hmm?"

Unable to resist the urging, Xiao Mingyan sighed softly and closed his eyes.

A moment later, the person beside him asked, "Young master, did you see anything?"

"what?"

Zhu Luo tentatively asked, "For example... the day we first met?"

Xiao Mingyan suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at him: "What exactly do you want to know? Could it be that you're using the guise of giving gifts just to resolve your inner confusion?"

The warmth in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling indifference.

Zhu Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hand to explain, "Young master, please don't misunderstand. I was just giving an example. Besides, this matter does indeed trouble you, doesn't it? If you don't want to talk about it, then let's change the subject."

Seeing that Xiao Mingyan did not respond but did not pursue the matter further, Zhu Luo breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The atmosphere between the two became quiet, with only the occasional crackling of fireworks keeping the night party going.

As the last firework burned out, Xiao Mingyan slowly spoke: "I have no answer. There may have been many speculations about the situation at the time, but it's pointless to delve into them now. Let's not dwell on the past. As for you, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhu Luo nodded gently: "What you say is absolutely right, young master. Thinking back to that day, when the caravan encountered danger and I accidentally stumbled into the battlefield, I almost lost my life. Perhaps it's because I can't let go of it. It's time to look forward."

She couldn't fathom his reason for hiding it from her.

He has no answers here, so he can only take it one step at a time.

Zhu Luo raised her head, looked at Xiao Mingyan, and said seriously, "As for the next arrangements, young master, I would like to stay here with Banxia for a few days before leaving."

Xiao Mingyan frowned: "You want to return to the capital on your own?"

Zhu Luo nodded, agreeing.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy, as if the surrounding air had frozen.

Xiao Mingyan stared intently at Zhu Luo, seemingly trying to find more answers on his face.

Zhu Luo mustered her courage and met his gaze, but a chill ran down her spine.

Is it strange that she made this decision?

He wouldn't be angry about this, would he?

The sound of horses' hooves approached. Zhu Luo glanced to the side and saw a rider stop beside Cang Xu not far away, then trotted toward them.

"Tiger?" Zhu Luo immediately recognized the familiar face.

"A miracle doctor?" Tiger hadn't expected Zhu Luo to be there, and he bowed cautiously, "Your Highness..."

"It's alright, go ahead and speak."

Tiger took a breath and exclaimed excitedly, "We caught him!"
