The space didn’t hide it: [The space system will make exceptions for people with great merit.]

It added: [Of course, this exception is also based on the premise that you have strong expectations, Master. After all, I’m your little cutie.]

Xiaoxiao expressed her understanding and admiration: [Looks like the person who created you, a gourmet space, should be a good person with positive energy.]

It was good that good things would be rewarded.

[Exchange for the Rising Sun Spear.]

The space happily agreed: [Alright, exchange for commodity—Rising Sun Spear. 100,000 points deducted. Current points: 1,980.]

Xiaoxiao frowned and thought hard in her mind. She wanted to change Yun Er and Yun San’s swords too! However, there was no reaction from the Space Mall, so she could only give up for the time being.

There were no surprises or dangers along the way, but there were always exceptions to everything. For example, today, when Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan went to the town as representatives to buy food, they realized that they were being followed.

They had a lot of people returning to the capital. If they entered the city all at once, it would be inconvenient and easy to cause chaos. Hence, they usually sent a team to buy supplies while the rest of the army waited on the official road. Coincidentally, it was Xiaoxiao who volunteered today and Rong Yan took the initiative to accompany her.

When she realized that Rong Yan had asked Yun Er and Yun San to investigate the other party’s strength the moment they were followed, Xiaoxiao had a plan and bought things even more extravagantly. She was just short of writing on her forehead, “There’s a fat sheep here. Come and kill them quickly.”

Rong Yan asked as he helped her get her things, “What do you want to do?”

Xiaoxiao leaned over and whispered to him, “I have something to give to Mother, but I don’t have the chance.”

“See, a legitimate reason came knocking on my door.”

Rong Yan laughed at her for being naughty, but he “accidentally” dropped the gold ingots in his pouch.

The stalker, who thought that his whereabouts were very secretive and unnoticeable, widened his eyes.

Just now, he had only seen that these two young people had outstanding temperaments, especially that young master who was noble and had servants following him. He looked like a young master from a rich family. He had wanted to steal a pouch to add to his meal, but now, he felt that it was not enough.

Coincidentally, he heard the woman say to Young Master, “Young Master, put it away quickly. Don’t let the bad guys see it. We brought so many good things to the Imperial Capital this time. If we get targeted by evil people, it will cost tens of thousands…”

At this point, she hurriedly covered her mouth and looked around nervously. After confirming that no one was paying attention, she heaved a sigh of relief and pulled the “Young Master” away.

Xiaoxiao asked rather proudly, “Little Big Brother, are my acting skills good?”

Rong Yan frowned and pulled her into the ready-made clothes shop at the side. He chose a light yellow dress with a waist and light-colored sleeves for her.

Xiaoxiao only cared about convenience when she chose her clothes in the border city and did not specially dress up on the way back to the city. Xiao Ran and Gu Chang’an saw that their daughter felt that everything was good, and she was impatient that the fine clothes were in her way, so they let her feel comfortable.

This city was the first big city they passed on the way back to the capital. Rong Yan was already thinking about buying things for Xiaoxiao, so he took this opportunity to prepare everything for her.

When Xiaoxiao came out after changing, she realized that Rong Yan had even chosen jewelry for her.

She was a little happy.

Rong Yan said, “Take it back and put it away first. Wear it when you want to wear it. Leave it if you think it’s troublesome.”

It meant “You can choose not to wear it, but you must have it”. Aiyo, Little Big Brother was very good at it.

Xiaoxiao gladly accepted it. She wanted to change back into her original clothes, but she could no longer find them.

Rong Yan pointed at the female soldier Xiao Ran had given him. “She put it away.” He clenched his fists and coughed lightly. His voice was so soft that only Xiaoxiao could hear him. “You can just wear it now. This dress looks good on you.”

Xiaoxiao didn’t want to come out and dress up like a young girl in love, but her sweetheart praised her.

She nodded, and Rong Yan pointed at the shelves happily. “And this and this. I want them all.”

How could it be enough to buy only one set of clothes? She had to change.

Rong Yan finally understood why men often spent a lot of money on beautiful women in operas. This feeling was not bad. If Xiaoxiao hadn’t pulled him away in time, he probably wouldn’t have stopped.

When they entered the shop, Xiaoxiao was still dressed in plain clothes, but when she came out, she was extremely noble. This confirmed the follower’s judgment that they were rich.

Yun Er and Yun San realized that the person was leaving a mark for his companions. After informing their Master, they were ordered to stay put. They knew that their Master was deliberately setting a trap.

“I knew it. Why did Master suddenly have such a strong desire to shop? So it’s to invite them into the trap.”

Yun San looked at Yun Er with disdain. “Do you think there’s a possibility that Master really just wants to buy something for Miss and let that person see it?”

Yun Er:… Although he didn’t really understand, his cheeks were sore.

Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and smiled. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Rong Yan emphasize seriously, “It’s not ‘Young Master’.”

Xiaoxiao blinked and remembered how she had casually addressed him just now.

At that time, she felt that no one would believe her even if she called herself Missy. She might as well pretend to be a maidservant. She didn’t expect Little Big Brother to actually listen to her. Aiyaya, her Little Big Brother was so warm!

Xiaoxiao’s curved eyes were filled with smiles. “Then what should I call you? Little Big Brother? Or…”

She leaned close to Rong Yan’s ear evilly. “Big Brother Yan?”

Rong Yan’s face turned red.

The instigator ran away happily and returned after buying a sugar figurine. She asked Rong Yan to take it and take a bite later.

Yun Er didn’t understand. “Miss, why don’t you hold it yourself? How inconvenient is that?”

Yun San no longer wanted to talk to his stupid companion.

Hearing his question, Xiaoxiao turned around and explained, “Because it’s sweeter in Little Big Brother’s hands.”

Yun Er was suddenly “attacked”.

Of course, they were not just playing around like this. It was to give those robbers enough time to contact their companions. Just now, Yun Er and Yun San heard that there were often bandits causing trouble near the town recently. Many passing caravans were robbed and ended up losing their wealth.

The commoners said, “It’s fine if it’s just robbing money, but they also killed people. They even kidnapped beautiful women and ruined them…”

Yun Er and the rest asked, “Don’t the officials care?”

The commoners sighed. “Isn’t there a war at the border? The strong men who can go to the battlefield have all left. The city doesn’t have enough military equipment and can only protect the safety of the city. We really don’t have time to care about the outside of the city.”

“The officials have also tried to suppress bandits, but those bandits are too cunning. As soon as the officials went, they started causing trouble in the city. In the end, the officials returned empty-handed, but the city was in chaos.”

“I heard that the official sent memorandums to the Imperial Capital a long time ago, but there was no response…”

Rong Yan said with a straight face, “The memorandums sent to the Dragon Desk all these years have been touched by the Yan Family. This county doesn’t belong to the Yan Family, so the memorandums have probably been suppressed.”

Xiaoxiao quickly understood. “Either this governor offended the Yan Family, or the Yan Family took a fancy to this official position and planned to get it for their own people..”
