Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Especially Shangguan Xingyu, dressed in a blue robe, like a fairy descending to the mortal world—her exquisite, otherworldly beauty and graceful figure instantly left Yan Si dumbfounded. Just then, An Wang beside him keenly noticed his foolish son's fixed gaze. As a veteran of love, he immediately understood the meaning and couldn't help but think to himself: "This kid, he's probably fallen in love!"

Afterwards, the three walked forward slowly. Yan Si couldn't wait to plop down beside Yan Shuang'er, asking with a face full of curiosity: "What were you three talking about just now? Let me listen too!"

Seeing this, Yan Shuang'er quickly reached out to push Yan Si and said coquettishly: "Oh, this is girl talk, why are you butting in? Go away!"

However, Yan Si didn't care, still grinning as he replied: "Hehe, then we can talk slowly when we get back. Let's go home first!" Hearing this, Yan Shuang'er helplessly nodded and replied: "Alright, alright, I got it!"

Immediately after, Qianqian and Shangguan Xingyu stood up together. Shangguan Xingyu said softly: "Then let's go!" So, they all set off on the road home together.

After arriving home, Shangguan Xingyan went straight to the courtyard where Yan Si lived, while Shangguan Xingyu stayed in Yan Shuang'er's courtyard to play. At this moment, Qianqian ran happily to Shangguan Xingyu and said excitedly: "Sister Xingyu, look, Qianqian recently learned a new lightness skill!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu immediately became interested. Although the guards around her usually knew lightness skills, she had never personally seen someone perform lightness skills.

As for Qianqian, her beautiful eyes gazed at the roof, then she lightly tapped her toes, her figure like an arrow leaving the bow, "whoosh" she leaped onto the roof. Her posture was light as a swallow, her movements flowing like clouds and water, truly admirable.

Immediately after, Qianqian shifted her gaze, aimed at the spot she had just been in, and "whoosh" again, instantly returned to her original position. This series of movements was as fast as lightning, completed in the blink of an eye.

Shangguan Xingyu beside her witnessed this scene, couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, her face full of amazement, and praised repeatedly: "Qianqian, you are truly highly skilled in martial arts! To have such ability at such a young age is truly admirable!"

Just then, Yan Shuang'er for some reason suddenly remembered a glorious deed of Qianqian's past, and couldn't help but laugh "pfft". Shangguan Xingyu saw this, looked puzzled, turned to look at Yan Shuang'er, and asked: "Younger Sister Shuang'er, why are you laughing?"

Yan Shuang'er quickly replied: "Elder Sister, don't mind it, I just remembered something interesting." Qianqian heard this and immediately understood what Yan Shuang'er was referring to, but she didn't speak up to explain.

Shangguan Xingyu became even more curious and pressed: "What exactly is the amusing story? Can you tell me?" Seeing Shangguan Xingyu so curious, Yan Shuang'er no longer hid it and told her the embarrassing incident that happened when Qianqian last used lightness skills, in full detail.

After finishing, Shangguan Xingyu was first stunned, then laughed until she bent double. For a while, the whole courtyard echoed with their joyful laughter, like flowers blooming in spring, filled with endless joy.

At the same time, in Yan Si's courtyard on the other side, it was a different scene. Inside the house, Yan Si and Shangguan Xingyan sat facing each other, discussing matters regarding import trade.

This negotiation was led by Yan Si, who detailed his views on trade routes, types of goods, and market prospects; while Shangguan Xingyan listened carefully beside him and offered constructive opinions and suggestions at appropriate times. The two exchanged views freely, each expressing their own thoughts, conversing very happily, with an extremely harmonious atmosphere.

After all the details were discussed thoroughly, Yan Si gently sighed, then smiled and said: "Let's rest for today, after all, you two siblings have just arrived, tired from the journey, it's indeed a bit hard. Tomorrow, I will go with you to find a suitable shop address."

Shangguan Xingyan heard this, nodded in agreement, and replied: "Very good, then I'll trouble Eldest Brother Yan." After speaking, Shangguan Xingyan began to organize the items she brought, then directly moved into Yan Si's courtyard. At the same time, Shangguan Xingyu was arranged to stay in Yan Shuang'er's courtyard.

Night fell, lamps were lit, it was time for dinner. An Wang asked with a concerned look about the progress of opening a shop. Shangguan Xingyan quickly stood up and replied to An Wang: "Replying to Your Highness, everything is going smoothly so far. If there is a need for Your Highness's help in the future, I will certainly report truthfully."

An Wang nodded slightly after hearing, smiled with satisfaction, said there was no need to be so formal, while eating and speaking, then turned to look at the cute and well-behaved Qianqian beside him, and said gently: "Qianqian, would you like Father to take you out to play tomorrow?"

Qianqian blinked her watery big eyes, instantly understood the true meaning of "going out to play" in An Wang's mouth, and clapped excitedly: "Okay!"

The next morning, sunlight fell on the earth through thin clouds, fluttering down. Yan Si got up early, finished washing up, then took Shangguan Xingyan out to select a location. On the other side, Shangguan Xingyu and Yan Shuang'er also walked out of the mansion hand in hand, eagerly going to the street market to shop.

An Wang personally led a fine horse and mounted it, Qianqian did the same, just like that, the father and daughter, like last time, rode side by side on the bustling and lively streets, leaving behind a string of joyful laughter.

After tying the horses firmly to the tree trunks, this time An Wang did not take Qianqian along as usual, but deliberately told Qianqian to follow alone using her own learned lightness skills.

Only saw An Wang's figure flash, like an arrow leaving the bow rushing forward, his steps light and agile, only heard a few "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds, and he had already disappeared from sight. In comparison, Qianqian's movements were much slower.
