TGM Vol.1 Chapter 29 – Flower Hairpin Tournament (10)

As expected, Wu Tong uncovered the notice and carried the picture of Xiao Yinhua drawn by Yu Sifeng in his arms, and his sleeves were filled with rice fruits that Xiao Yinhua loved, and set off with confidence.

When Yu Sifeng and Zhong Minyan saw him leaving, they immediately closed the door and took a shortcut to the back of the hill.

Linglong and Xuanji had been hiding in the bushes for a long time, waiting for the excitement to begin. When they saw them, they hastily beckoned them not to make any noise. They crowded together in the bushes, leaving only their eyes to stare at the trap.

After a short while, there is a flash of silver light ahead, and Xiao Yinhua moves like electricity, darting down from the grass and swimming around the trap.

After a short while, Wu Tong approached the trap and was delighted to see the little flower moving on the ground. He took out the picture from his pocket and looked at it for a long time, but seemed to be sure it was him. He lowered his body, slowly took out the rice crackers from his sleeves, and threw two of them.

As soon as the Xiao Yinhua smelled the scent of the rice crackers she loved, she swam over to him and swallowed them both without hesitation. Wu Tong was delighted and threw out two more, only this time they were a little closer.

Xiao Yinhua, not suspecting, swam over and swallowed them again.

Wu Tong threw out two more.

“So he was trying to lure the Xiao Yinhua to him…” Ling Long whispered to Zhong Minyan’s ear.

He nodded his head, “That’s too cunning… What if he doesn’t go there?”

Yu Sifeng shook his head, “No, don’t worry.”

As expected, the rice crackers that Wu Tong had thrown this time were met with a cold reception. Xiao Yinhua seemed to notice someone there. She became alert, and retreated like an arrow, only spinning around the trap. No matter how hard he threw the rice crackers, it would not be fooled.

“Stupid beast…” He cursed quietly, and all he could do was to collect the rice crackers and quietly get up.

He looked around to make sure that no one was around, and then he inhaled a quick breath, pushed his right foot on the ground, and with one stretch of his arms, he flew up lightly, like a wild goose that had suddenly been startled.

Seeing his elegant posture, Yu Sifeng couldn’t help but praise him: “Good kung fu!”

As soon as he said that, Wu Tong landed on the edge of the trap, stepped forward and struck like electricity, as if he was about to catch Xiao Yinhua.

He was quick, but Xiao Yinhua was even quicker, her body trembled and she retreated four or five feet. His grip was unsuccessful and he had to take a few steps forward. He stepped on the center of a trap, and was about to grab it again when he felt a hollow beneath his feet and fell down.

He was shocked, his left hand hurriedly grabbed a hand on the grass, both feet on the trap wall, and lightly flew up again, but did not fall into!

“Pity!” Zhong Minyan shouted lowly.

Xuanji smiled slightly, “Not necessarily, look, it’s a hit!”

Before she finished speaking, they heard Wu Tong scream. He was pulled up by something and hung upside down between the branches of a tree. He waved his hands randomly and scattered the rice crackers in his sleeves all over the ground, and Xiao Yinhua happily ate them underneath.

“A trap? There’s a trap!” He shouted.

It turned out that Yu Sifeng felt that a trap was not enough, so he hid a rope around the trap. If Wu Tong stepped on the trap, he would inevitably jump up and step on the hidden rope next to him. His feet would be immediately caught. Bundled up and hung upside down on a tree, it is not that easy to get down.

“Haha, we did it! We did it!” linglong’s face is flushed with excitement and she wants to rush over to him and scold him.

Zhong Minyan hurriedly grabbed her,“If you go out, all our previous efforts will be lost! Don’t let him know we did it! Come on, let’s go back!”

When she sees Wu Tong in his uneasy predicament, she is so happy that she hooks er hands around Zhong Minyan’s neck and leans on him, saying, “We are geniuses! Genius!”

“Yes, yes, Miss Genius.” On a whim Zhong Minyan put Ling Long on his back and ran back quickly. Ling Long was so happy that she giggled all the way.

Xuanji squatted beside Yu Sifeng and whispered, “Is Xiao Yinhua alright? Will she come back?”

He smiled and nodded, walking back together, saying, “At night, it will come back by itself. Rest assured. Ordinary people, can’t catch it.”

Xuanji laughed: “Si Feng is really amazing, he seems to know a lot of things, and he knows how to strategise.”

He blushed and mumbled, “It’s nothing!”

Xuanji scratched her face and laughed, “Even if the central plains dialect is not good enough! It’s… it’s nothing!”

She had imitated his accent, but it was more or less the same.

Yu Sifeng’s face became even more red. After a while, she suddenly sighed and whispered, “After the Hairpin Tournament, I have to go back.”

“Can’t you come out from now on? By the way, does your master still want to punish you?” Xuanji thought of that strange palace master and felt insecure.

He whispered, “It’s okay, come out. However, it will take a long time. Master didn’t chastise me. I won’t do it in the future. Don’t worry.”

Xuanji nodded, “That’s good. Si Feng, you have to come visit us often from now on. You can come here anytime.”

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and just smiled gently and agreed.

“As long as you don’t forget about me,” he said. He lifted his hand and gently twisted a weed out of her hair, “I’m sure we’ll meet again.

And how far away is the future? They said that they would be best friends for life, but is it possible to let them stay apart for life?

Xuanji silently looked at him, under the sunlight, the youth’s face was as fair as fresh snow, his eyes narrow and deep, quietly looking at her, looking at her alone.

The ghostly sound of the wind, the swaying grass, the dazzling blue sky and white clouds, he did not look.

The whole world, he only looked at her.

Her heart trembled for no reason, and she forgot what to say.

But the young man smiled slightly and said softly, “Go back. The Hairpin Ceremony is still a few days away.”

She nodded silently, but somewhere in her heart, a sigh gently sounded, so light that it was like rain on peach blossoms, and it soon disappeared.

Xuanji grabbed his sleeve, not wanting to let go for a moment, and the two of them walked back and forth slowly.

A gust of wind suddenly arose behind them, pushing her forward involuntarily, and wild grass and leaves flew everywhere in the sky.

She turned around and smiled, “Look, it looks like rain!”

As soon as she said that, she suddenly saw a boulder at the back and a person standing next to it, dressed in white with black hair and wearing a white veil on their head.

She was startled by the familiarity of the person, but could not remember where she had seen them before.

The person seemed to be talking about something, but she couldn’t see them because they were blocked by a large rock.

As if she was saying something exciting, her body was trembling, and suddenly she couldn’t help it. Another gust of wind came, and her white veil was blown open, revealing her bright red lips and jade-like chin.

Xuanji was struck by an electric shock and suddenly remembered that this was the wife of the Island Master, the great beauty that Linglong spoke about.

Who is she talking to? Who’s that?

Could it be that the Island Masterer and his wife are hiding here to make love?

Xuanji felt it was inconvenient to look around, and was about to turn around and walk away, when suddenly the two people behind the boulder came out, both dressed in white, one slim, the other slender. The two were entangled together, and then Lady Dongfang suddenly tilted her head up, gently lifted the veil and kissed the lips of that person lightly.

“Ah!” Xuanji couldn’t help but cry out.

It wasn’t Island Master! She’s kissing the steward of Fuyu Island!

She was so shocked and confused that she couldn’t figure out if it was cheating or adultery.

When Yu Sifeng saw that she was in a state of shock, he smiled and said, “What did you see?”

He turned his head, naturally, he saw those two tangled and intimate figures at a glance, and immediately turned pale. “Let’s go! Or else, trouble!”

When they ran back to her guest room, Zhong Minyan and Linglong had arrived long ago. Seeing them running and panting, as if there was a ghost chasing behind Linglong couldn’t help clapping and laughing, “Wow, where did you two go to whisper? I can’t believe you’re so late! You’re sweating like a pig!”

Xuanji shook her head, still shocked by the scene she had just seen.

Yu Sifeng laughed bitterly and said, “No……nothing. I am hungry, do you want to eat?”
