Chapter Fifty-Four: Invitation to a Temple Fair

ttention; they were too calm and hopeless, something that shouldn't appear on a child's face.A young man in rough cloth stood before the cage, a thorny whip in his hand. With a sudden flick of the wri...Since that day, Qin Luoyan spent more and more time in her room studying the repeating crossbow drawings.

Mu He had already gathered everything she needed. Relying on her talent for weapon design, she managed to make several parts of the repeating crossbow in half a month. Although these parts couldn't be assembled into a complete repeating crossbow yet, they could already give a glimpse of its basic form.

"Qin Girl!" Mu He knocked on her door, waiting for her consent before pushing it open. "Girl Qin, you haven't left the room in days. Today there's a temple fair outside, and many of the empty maidservants at home are going to attend. If you'd like, you can go with them too."

Of course, he would also go with her, because the prince's order was to follow Qin Luoyan wherever she went once she left the house.

Qin Luoyan had no interest in temple fairs. She was fiddling with a small part and was about to refuse when she suddenly thought of Yisheng. It had been half a month since she last saw him, and the child must have never seen a temple fair.

She pondered for a moment before saying, “Alright, I’ve never been to a temple fair before, so let’s go. But I need to find the Lord first and show him the successfully made parts.”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the door. Her tone and demeanor showed no trace of sadness whatsoever; she resembled a carefree young girl, holding her precious possession to seek approval from the adults.

Mu He looked at her like this, couldn't help but be a little lost in thought. In just a few days, why did he feel that Qin girl had become different from before But it was good this way. Qin Luo Yan used to always be so sad and deep, where could such an expression be likeable Now this is much better, there's the shyness of a girl, and the vivacity of a young woman. Your Highness must like it, right

"Mu He, what are you thinking about Hurry up and catch up, don't tell me you're not coming with me" Qin Luo Yan turned her head and gave him a bright smile.

Mu He was startled, responded with a sound and hurried to catch up.

The study surrounding King Wuxuan was always silent, because few dared to make a loud noise there.

But as the afternoon sun began to set, a faint purple figure entered the study courtyard with light, quick steps. As she walked, she happily shouted, "My Lord, My Lord, I have something good to show you!"

The guards had intended to appear and stop them, but seeing that the master gave no instructions from within his study, they thought about it and returned to their hiding place.

Qin Luoyan stopped three feet from the study door and shouted inside, "Your Highness, come out and have a look. I'm just a maid. I dare not enter your study. Otherwise, they'll say I'm lacking decorum again."

"You're shouting like this just because you have rules" Fu Zimo's voice came faintly, then he pulled open the study door and walked out, "What is there that you're so eager to show this king"

Qin Luoyan seemed not to have noticed the undercurrents among the previous dark guards, raised the small object in her hand, and proudly said: "Look, I made a model. Although it's not complete, it's already about six or seven points similar."

Fu Zi Mo looked at the object in her hand, and sure enough, he saw a palm-sized crossbow. He walked closer, took it over and flipped it around, his eyes obviously became deeper, "Really made by you"

"How's that Am I amazing" Qin Luoyan raised a smile, her smile dazzling in the sunlight, though sadly, the darkness lurking within her remained utterly concealed.

Sometimes, black and white are really just a line apart. Her soul has been completely blackened, blacked out to the point where she can use pure colors to disguise herself.

Fu Zi Mo paused for a moment, then said, "Amazing!"

This was the first time he acknowledged her work, if others knew about it, they would surely be astonished. After all, throughout his life, Prince Fu Zi Mo of Wu Xuan had affirmed very few people or things, too few!

“Of course, my master is very skilled as well. As his disciple, I couldn't possibly be useless, could I” Finding a perfect excuse for herself, Qin Luo Yan mischievously winked at Fu Zi Mo, “Your Highness, in order to make you happy, I stayed in seclusion for half a month without leaving the door. Now that I’ve almost finished making these things for you, shouldn't you give me some reward”

Fu Zi Mo stared at her captivating smile, for a moment he was lost in it. To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen her smile so brilliantly. He rarely smiled himself, but managed to pull one out, "What do you want"

"Mu He said there's a temple fair today, and I...I want...to have Wang Ye accompany me to the temple fair." She acted coquettishly, hugging him, this action immediately caused Mu He in the distance and the hidden guards to gasp.

Such a daring woman! To openly embrace the prince's waist in broad daylight! This, this is simply reckless!

Several of the guards had gathered, placing bets on how the Wangye would throw this shameless woman out of the courtyard.

But the result surprised them greatly.

Fu ZiMo only slightly furrowed his brow, and instead of throwing Qin LuoYan out, he coldly scanned the people around him, both openly and secretly.

Mu He's face twitched, quickly turning his back. The guards also tried their best to minimize their presence, with several even exaggeratingly covering their eyes.

Although Qin Luoyan didn't understand martial arts and couldn't feel the presence of the guards, she was so intelligent that she knew there must be many eyes watching her secretly.

But she pretended not to know anything, still clinging to his waist coquettishly, “Your Majesty, I haven’t left the palace for half a month just to please you. For such a small reason, you wouldn’t agree”

The guards were all at a loss for words. They had followed Fu Zimu for so long, they wouldn't even tolerate a woman acting coquettish, let alone accompany one to a temple fair which was a waste of time and energy. This woman, she really had the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, daring to say such things!

Mu He and the dark guards all admired Qin Luo Yan's courage with utmost respect!

But what shocked them even more was Fu Zimo's one sentence. After a while, when they thought Fu Zimo would finally be unable to hold back and get angry, Fu Zimo said a word, "Good!"

How are you

Did they get it wrong

How could Wuxuan King Fu Zimu actually agree to this woman's outrageous demands

A dark guard, perhaps overcome with fright, fell directly from the beam onto the floor with a resounding "thump" that was all too audible.

Then, in the next instant, before the guards could react, Fu ZiMo waved his long sleeve, and the guard flew out.

All eyes were on him, their gazes fixed and silent. Not a single breath dared to be taken.
