"Hello, Brother Mo." Panghu and Goudan said in unison.
"Hello to you both." Mo Qishen politely smiled at Goudan and Panghu. He thought to himself, well, no more explanation needed, he might as well be her brother for the time being!
After bidding farewell to Panghu and Goudan, the two continued on their way.
As they passed by a lotus pond, a child suddenly leaped out from the thick lotus leaves and stood between them.
This sudden appearance of a child startled Mo Qishen. However, to Ni Yang, everything seemed normal as not a single ripple of surprise showed in her eyes. Clearly, this was not the first time she'd encountered such a situation.
Xiaohua, the child, stuffed a lotus pod into Ni Yang's hand. "Sister Ni Yang, I just picked this lotus pod. The seeds inside are very sweet. This is for you."
"Thank you, Xiaohua." Ni Yang smiled and gently patted Xiaohua's head.
"Sister Ni Yang, there's no need to be polite with me." Xiaohua replied, shyly tugging at her hair.
