Pei Zheng raised the corners of his eyes and just looked at Shen Huan without saying a word.
When Chengfeng and Li Yu saw Pei Zheng's look, they knew that the master was unhappy, but due to Shen Huan's identity, they could not get angry.
Li Yu stepped forward and explained, "Master Shen, what you said does make sense, but think about it, isn't it precisely because there are so many people outside that we should protect Master Shen well? Otherwise, it will be too late if something happens."
Unexpectedly, Shen Huan looked Pei Zheng up and down, and then stared at Cheng Feng as well.
"You are right." Shen Huan pulled Shen Shijiu over and put his hand into Chengfeng's. "Your master is injured now. I am afraid he can't even take care of himself. I will leave my little disciple to you for the time being."
Chengfeng, who usually had a blank expression on his face, now had a colorful look on his face. A soft little hand was forced into his palm. He couldn't shake it off, nor could he hold it tightly. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
Shen Shijiu was still slightly drunk, his eyes were confused and his mind was not clear. He saw clearly that the person standing in front of him had turned into Chengfeng without him noticing, and he actually laughed.
"Ah...Ah Feng..."
The drunk little boy's voice was soft and sweet, and he was about to move closer to Chengfeng with a smile on his face.
There happened to be a few people behind them who were about to enter the restaurant, and when they passed by them, they squeezed into Shen Shijiu's side.
Shen Shijiu was squeezed so hard that he staggered and was about to fall to the ground.
"Disciple!"
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Shen Huan, Li Yu and Cheng Feng all exclaimed in surprise, and all three of them reached out to help Shen Shijiu.
But all three of them were in vain, because Shen Shijiu, who was tripped, staggered and stood up without falling to the ground.
Although he did not fall, Shen Shijiu, like a spoiled child, clung to the figure standing next to him. His soft little body seemed boneless, with his arms hanging around the man's neck and his little chin resting on his chest.
"I feel so dizzy... Can you let me lean on you for a while... Just for a little while... Then I can stand up on my own... I feel so dizzy... My legs are spinning..."
The three people nearby stared at this scene with wide eyes. They saw Shen Shijiu put his arms around Pei Zheng's neck, then circled around him, even pulling a few strands of Pei Zheng's hair. It was obvious that Pei Zheng frowned slightly.
“My stupid disciple…” Shen Huan patted his forehead. How come this stupid disciple became even more stupid after getting drunk
Pei Zheng was in a rare good temper. He lifted Shen Shijiu by the back of his shirt with one hand and brought him to stand in front of him.
"Look at me." Pei Zheng pinched his little chin.
Shen Shijiu blinked his misty eyes and tried hard to look at Pei Zheng, but he felt dazzled.
"I, I can't see clearly..." Shen Shijiu pursed his lips, sniffed pitifully, and looked like he was about to cry.
"How about this?" Pei Zheng took a step forward and his toes met Shen Shijiu's.
"I still can't see clearly..."
Pei Zheng leaned down slightly, got close to the little guy, and stared into his watery eyes, "So, now?"
Shen Shijiu seemed to have crashed into a bottomless dark ancient pool, being drawn deeper and deeper...
"Yes, I can see it clearly." Shen Shijiu answered obediently.
"Who am I then?"
"Yes, sir."
Pei Zheng stood up straight and moved a little further away.
Shen Shijiu also stood firmly, tilted his head to look at Pei Zheng, staring at him without blinking.
—The three people standing nearby stood there without moving.
Shen Huan seemed to have thought of something and asked the two people beside him, "What did you two call my little disciple just now?"
Chengfeng was stunned, Li Yu was also stunned, they both looked away and pretended not to hear.
Shen Huan thought he had heard it wrong, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that the two people in front had been looking for a long time and had no intention of leaving, Shen Huan gave Chengfeng a look, meaning that you should go over and talk first.
Chengfeng looked away, ignoring the sight.
Shen Huan looked at Li Yu again and raised his chin towards that side, meaning that it's okay for you to go.
Li Yu also raised his chin towards Shen Huan, meaning why don't you go yourself.
Shen Huan glared and whispered, "Just go if I tell you to. I don't quite understand your master's temper. If I really piss him off, I'll be in big trouble!" Li Yu also whispered, "It's because I know my master's temper that I don't dare to make myself unhappy. I've experienced a lot of his methods. I still want to live two more years."
The two looked at each other, and suddenly looked at Chengfeng who was holding the sword in silence. Then they smiled at each other and pushed Chengfeng hard on the back.
Chengfeng was pushed in front of Pei Zheng and Shen Shijiu without any preparation. He turned around to look at the two people behind him. Li Yu and Shen Huan smiled at him in a frivolous way.
Pei Zheng glanced at Cheng Feng coldly.
Cheng Feng whispered, "Sir, the parade is about to begin, and this year's parade is different from previous years, so everyone will wear masks. Should we go pick out some masks first?"
"Mask," Shen Shijiu's gaze finally moved away from Pei Zheng's face and turned to look at Cheng Feng.
"I want a mask..."
Cheng Feng said, "Mr. Shen, we are going to buy it soon."
Shen Shijiu repeated, "I want a mask..."
Cheng Feng said, "Mr. Shen, the master will buy it for you."
Shen Shijiu pouted and continued, "I want a mask..."
He looked at Pei Zheng and said, "I want that..."
Pei Zheng raised his hand towards Chengfeng, and Chengfeng obediently took a few steps back.
Pei Zheng whispered, "What do you want? Huh?"
Shen Shijiu answered obediently, "I want a mask."
"I'll take you shopping, okay?"
"Okay." Shen Shijiu nodded vigorously in a childish manner, then stretched out his hand to Pei Zheng, wanting him to lead him away.
Pei Zheng did not directly pull his hand, but instead looked in the direction of Shen Huan.
Shen Huan really wanted to keep her little disciple by her side and didn't want her to be so close to Pei Zheng because she always felt that Pei Zheng's feelings for her little disciple were too strange.
No one would be nice to another person for no reason, and to be nice to this extent can be said to be pampering and caring for every detail.
There are only two scenarios that could explain this.
—Pei Zheng was very fond of his beautiful and lovely little disciple and wanted to love, care for and protect him. After all, the little disciple was silly and stupid and so adorable.
Secondly, Pei Zheng had done something against the will of heaven and earth to his young disciple, so he was now atonement with a guilty conscience, and he was even willing to sacrifice his life for his young disciple.
However, what Shen Huan didn't know was that there was another situation where both of the above existed at the same time.
Li Yu just told Shen Huan privately, "Master Shen, haven't you always wanted to know about Mr. Shen's past? Perhaps, I can tell you something from some aspect."
"But tonight, let Master Shen follow the Master. With the Master here, everything will be fine. Besides, aren't Guard Feng and other guards following behind?"
Shen Huan is not actually a person without vision, it’s just a matter of whether she is willing to do it or not.
It can be seen that the young disciple has developed some feelings for Pei Zheng, and this feeling is definitely different from their master-disciple relationship.
Shen Huan sighed silently and nodded to Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng smiled, reached out his hand, and held Shen Shijiu's hand.
The two people's interlocked fingers were completely hidden by the wide sleeves, and there were many pedestrians on the street, so their sleeves were rubbing against each other, so no one could notice them holding hands on the street.
Pei Zheng's fingers are always slightly cold, as if he is born cold-blooded, but the little guy's hands are usually warm. Although it is cold today, it still feels warm like a small heater.
Pei Zheng squeezed his slender fingers between the little guy's fingers, and their ten fingers were tightly entangled, fitting perfectly.
Shen Huan, Li Yu and Cheng Feng followed behind the two people in front and saw two figures, one big and one small, one tall and one short, one dark and one light, walking shoulder to shoulder among the crowd.
I have to say, they are really a perfect match.
A few people walked to a small stall and stopped. The stall was filled with various masks, all with five-colored patterns, mysterious and seductive.

"Hey, you guys are here to join the parade too. Haven't bought any lanterns yet? You can take a look at the masks first. I have the most complete assortment. Let's see what kind you want?"
Shen Shijiu stood in front of the stall, choosing very seriously, and then chose a mask with a grimace on it.
"I want this." He pointed at the mask and looked sideways at Pei Zheng.
"Oh, this young master has very unique taste. The one on this mask is a famous person. He was once a god from Chongtian Palace and a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor. Unfortunately, he later violated the Heavenly Law and fell into hell and became a ghost messenger."
Shen Huan was curious and asked, "What heavenly law did you violate to cause your position to plummet so suddenly?"
The stall owner put his hand to his lips and whispered, "It is said that she fell in love with another immortal in heaven. If it was just an ordinary immortal, it would be fine, but she fell in love with the most respected minister of the Emperor of Heaven. These two immortals are both men..."
The stall owner searched through the masks for a long time and found another mask. "Here, this is the other immortal. He was demoted to a mortal, and later went to hell and became an immortal ghost."
Pei Zheng took the other mask from the stall owner, stared at it, and then put it on his face.
When Shen Shijiu saw Pei Zheng wearing a mask, he also put on his own mask.
The expressions on their faces showed that they were a pair of demoted gods who secretly loved each other against the permission of the immortal rules.
This is the case in the fairyland of the story, and there will be even more people who cannot accept this rigid ethical code of killing people and grinding their bones, like them now.
Behind Pei Zheng there were many small vendors selling lanterns. Shen Shijiu's eyes lit up when he saw them.
"So beautiful..." He pointed over there and said, "Sir..."
Pei Zheng heard the pleading tone in his voice, and his heart softened immediately, "Do you want it?"
"think… "
Pei Zheng took Shen Shijiu and walked over there.
Shen Huan also picked a mask for himself, and then picked one for Li Yu and Cheng Feng respectively.
"Hey, pay."
Shen Huan threw a few words to the two of them and followed them to the place where the lanterns were being sold.
Li Yu took out some silver and gave it to him, then he nudged Cheng Feng beside him and said, "You said nothing will happen tonight, right? Why do I feel uneasy all the time?"
Chengfeng looked at him and said, "As long as you don't make trouble this time, nothing will happen."
Li Yu thought of the lantern parade three years ago. At that time, His Highness was imprisoned by Lord Pei and was tortured to the point of being unable to survive. Then he went to ask General Zhao to kidnap His Highness.
I didn't expect that after so much time had passed, they could still participate in the lantern parade together again.
Things in the world are always unpredictable.
The two of them followed without saying anything else.
Shen Shijiu and Pei Zheng were the first to arrive at the stalls. The various kinds of lanterns were so dazzling that they were dazzled.
Unfortunately, Shen Shijiu looked around but didn't find anything he liked. There were so many beautiful lanterns with exquisite workmanship, and he had previously shouted that he wanted one, but when he was really asked to choose, he said he didn't want any.
"Really?"
Pei Zheng asked softly.
"Well, no, I don't like it..."
Shen Shijiu pouted and looked a little unhappy because he didn't choose what he liked.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of cheers from the crowd nearby.
Shen Shijiu's attention was instantly attracted, and he pulled Pei Zheng into the crowd.
The group of people formed a big circle, with five people standing in the middle, each holding a bow and arrow, aiming at the target on the opposite wall.
Everyone had masks of various kinds on their faces, and many people were holding colorful lanterns in their hands. The whole atmosphere was relaxed, joyful, lively and noisy.
A man holding a gong and drum went around the arena and beat the gongs and drums a few times, shouting, "Let's take a look. Is there anyone willing to come up and challenge us? You only need to pay fifty dollars to have a chance to shoot an arrow. If you can save your life, I will give you five taels directly!"
The people around began to discuss in a low voice. It must be said that this condition was very tempting, but one had to pay fifty dollars first before taking the challenge. If one missed the bull's eye, then the fifty dollars would be wasted.
Those present were all ordinary people, and few of them knew archery. Even if there were some who knew, they were all children of wealthy and powerful families.
A rich young man standing in the field was already tired of waiting.
"What are you asking? These people are so poor, do they have any experience in archery? Just watch me perform. If I shoot, you lowlifes will have to applaud me."
—These words made the onlookers feel uncomfortable, but they did not dare to talk back. There were too many rich and powerful people in this city, and they were afraid of getting into trouble if they were not careful.
Shen Shijiu just snorted, turned around and said to Pei Zheng, "I don't want to applaud him, sir, he is so annoying, I don't like him."
"Don't like it, who?"
Pei Zheng stuck behind Shen Shijiu.
"It's the one with the clown mask." Shen Shijiu pointed at the rich young man who was wearing a clown mask.
"good."
Pei Zheng pushed Shen Shijiu aside and then let go of his hand.
Shen Huan and others were standing nearby. Shen Shijiu was pushed in front of the three of them, and the three of them just happened to block the other people around him.
Shen Shijiu looked at Pei Zheng in confusion and pulled his sleeve, "Sir, where are you going..."
Shen Huan immediately understood, pulled Shen Shijiu's hand back, and patted his little head.
"Master Pei, let's punish the wicked and eliminate the evil."
