Chapter 34: Striking Iron Flowers, What Flower Is It?

Sui Sui only wants her brother to feed her.

Feng Xuanrui proudly wanted to stand on the chair!

But, no!

If he stood up there, he couldn't feed his sister.

He proudly raised his eyebrows at Sun Ronglin, then picked up the porridge on one side.

The Sun Manor prepared shredded chicken porridge, with rich rice aroma wrapped around the freshness of chicken meat, giving a strong food temptation.

Feng Xuan thought the porridge smelled good and would definitely be fragrant when eaten.

So, feed his sister first!

Sun Ronglin looked as if he might break on the spot, pitifully staring at Sui Sui, but ultimately unwilling to blame his sister, he could only glare at Feng Xuanrui while gulping down the porridge.

The future is long!

Wait and see, one day this will also be his sister!

The morning meal went fairly smoothly.

After eating, Liu Dafu indicated everyone should tidy up and return to the inn.

Prince Qing's affairs here were mostly settled; they should also pack up and return to Jing Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ronglin immediately objected: "No, we can't leave! If they must go, let them go; my sister stays—I want my sister!"

Prefect Sun was exhausted from being troubled by this grandson, but privately he still doted on the child greatly.

Besides, there is an event outside the city tonight.

Thinking of these, Prefect Sun smiled and said: "Prince, tonight outside the city at the Shangqing Temple's Dao field, there is a Striking Iron Flowers performance, invited by a wealthy household fulfilling a vow; why don't we watch the performance before leaving?"

Prince Qing was actually worried that waiting too long for Prince Qi and the others in Jing Cheng had left him uneasy.

After all, Feng Xuanrui had sneaked away.

Although Prince Qing discovered this and sent a letter to Jing Cheng,

but after all, he's just a child—how could the prince's mansion be at ease?

Upon hearing Prefect Sun's words, Prince Qing's first reaction was to refuse.

But Feng Xuanrui's curiosity got the better of him: "Ah, what? Striking Iron Flowers? What kind of flower is that?"

Sui Sui didn't understand either; she followed Feng Xuanrui, looking curiously at Prefect Sun.

At that moment, Sun Ronglin gloated: "Haven't you seen it? This is a special performance of our area—it's beautiful!"

Sun Ronglin usually doesn't study hard, and being young, his vocabulary is very limited.

Thinking of the shocking scene of Striking Iron Flowers, he can only say "beautiful."

At this moment, the System was explaining to Sui Sui in her consciousness.

【It is a rather traditional performance, also carrying a bit of danger and challenge.】

【The scene is splendid and magnificent, well worth watching.】

【Sui Sui, Le Le's suggestion is that we stay and watch.】

【This world has many interesting things; if we have the chance, we can all take a look.】

Previously, Sui Sui dared not and would not strive for anything for herself.

Because she knew that striving would be useless.

In the Chen family, no one would indulge or pamper her.

As long as they didn't bully her, Sui Sui was already quite happy.

But her brother gave her a bit of confidence, and with the System saying it's nice to watch, Sui Sui suddenly found courage.

She lightly tugged at Feng Xuanrui's sleeve, thinking: "If my brother notices, I'll boldly speak up!"

If my brother doesn't notice, then forget it.

Sui Sui, also not particularly wanting to watch……

Well, actually she still wants to watch!

Sui Sui's movement was very light; Feng Xuanrui, who was angry with Sun Ronglin, felt it right away.

He turned his head, meeting Sui Sui's dark, shiny eyes, and his heart instantly softened.

Feng Xuanrui instinctively reached out to touch Sui Sui's head, but remembered the ointment on her head wasn't dry yet, so he helplessly withdrew his hand and softly asked, "Do you want to watch, little sister?"

Sui Sui hesitated a moment, then nodded obediently.

Seeing Feng Xuanrui silent, Sui Sui quickly said, "Not watching is fine too; I'll follow my brother."

So, don't abandon Sui Sui.

Thinking of the possibility of being abandoned, Sui Sui clutched Feng Xuanrui's sleeve with some force.

Feng Xuanrui didn't speak because he was thinking about how to act coquettishly toward Uncle Prince Qing.

At this moment, feeling his sister's anticipation and nervousness, the young boy suddenly found courage.

He turned around, put his hands on his hips, stuck out his belly, and faced Uncle Prince Qing, declaring righteously, "Uncle, I want to stay and watch the Striking Iron Flowers!"

Upon hearing Sui Sui say she wanted to watch, Liu Dafu had already wanted to speak.

Now that Feng Xuanrui spoke first, it was easier to persuade: "Prince, the schedule isn't tight; why not watch and then leave, just delaying one evening?"

After Liu Dafu finished speaking, Sui Sui, Feng Xuanrui, Sun Ronglin, and the Qiu family brothers—several small children with sparkling eyes—all looked at Prince Qing.

Prince Qing was momentarily speechless; after a while he sighed, "Go ahead and watch."

He was really afraid that after refusing, these children would immediately throw a tantrum and cry out loud.

Everyone having decided to go see the Striking Iron Flowers that night, they needed to prepare.

With many children, all sorts of snacks need to be readied.

Clothing also needs backups, and security must be strengthened.

Although they say the bandits have been thoroughly cleared out.

But what if?

If there is a Fish that slipped through the net, wouldn't that be very troublesome?

The performance is at the training ground; outside the training ground lie the deep mountains and forests. If a child were really taken away, it would be troublesome to look for them.

Sui Sui and they wouldn't need to worry about these matters.

After eating, they went to study those few boxes of toys again.

The children played noisily all day.

At noon, Sun Ronglin thought he finally had a chance to feed.

But Feng Xuanrui seized the initiative, not giving him any room at all.

Sun Ronglin: Damn it!!!

Sun Ronglin decided to eat more rice, then use his weight to overwhelm Feng Xuanrui.

Today the weather is clear; after dinner, specks of stars hang in the deep sky.

Everyone gathered and came to the outskirts; Magistrate Sun had already found a spot early on. Once they arrived outside the city, they could go straight there.

An excellent viewing spot that also ensures safety.

After all, striking iron Flower is high-temperature molten iron; after being struck and scattered, the bursting iron Flower fire rain, when the sparks fall, all carry scorching temperature.

Therefore, for safety's sake, distance is very important.

Feng Xuanrui had never seen this kind of performance in Jing Cheng.

At this moment, nervous yet anticipating, he still didn't forget to tightly hold Sui Sui's hand, occasionally turning his head: 'Little sister, be sure to hold onto big brother tightly, there are many people here!'

Sui Sui nodded obediently: 'Mm, I'll listen to big brother.'

The soft voice made Feng Xuanrui feel somewhat light-hearted.

He thought: It has to be the little sister, how cute.

If it were a stinky little brother, he'd probably have woken up by now!

Sun Ronglin secretly grabbed Sui Sui's other hand.

This big brother is also good to me, so Sui Sui didn't refuse.

Sun Ronglin had originally been merely cautiously testing; discovering that Sui Sui was compliant and let him hold her hand, he even breathed much more lightly.

Xiao Pangzi, excited, wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he heard someone ahead shout: 'Here, here! The performance is coming!'
