The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Chapter 331 A Young Man Should Have Lofty Ambitions

Gu Zhanghua took out a handkerchief and wiped the little bit of sesame paste left on Zhao Xuan's lips. The initial excitement had passed, and he now only felt that there was a long way to go.

Patiently explain to Guan Liushui.

“I will personally lead the army in place of my father. Sister Xuan is an archer, Little Fairy Doctor is naturally the military doctor, and Hao Xiong is her deputy.”

Hearing that his four friends were about to go to the Northern Army and each showed off their abilities, he was the only one left behind.

He stopped eating the noodles, slammed the bowl down on the table, and looked utterly dejected.

"If I had known, I would have asked His Majesty to let me go with you! Although I don't have your abilities, I can beat the war drums to cheer on the soldiers! Don't underestimate beating the war drums; not everyone has that skill!"

The four people, with their eight eyes, immediately turned to look at the flowing water, and the meaning in their eyes was all the same.

Are you stupid?!

Watching the flowing water, she touched her own face, her small, palm-sized face filled with confusion.

"What's wrong? Why are you all staring at me like that? Is there sesame paste on your face?"

Zhao Xuan asked tentatively.

"Have you changed your soul? Are you still Guan Liushui, Brother Shui? Or are you Xiaoling, whom I brought out from the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

"It's the real deal! Sis, why do you ask that?"

Watching the flowing water, my head is a complete mess.

"Is your brain filled with water? Should I split it open and take a look?"

Zhao Xuan bared her teeth and brandished her claws, making a gesture as if to chop off Guan Liushui's head.

Guan Liushui stood up and jumped away, looking a bit agitated.

"Sis, what exactly do you mean? Just say it!"

"Have you forgotten? You have more important things to do."

Hao Xiong also found Guan Liushui's foolish behavior utterly unbearable to watch, and then asked...

"What's important?"

Guan Liushui rushed forward and grabbed Hao Xiong by the neck, though only symbolically.

"Speak, speak now! If you don't, I'll strangle you!"

Hao Xiong deliberately rolled his eyes, looked up at the sky, and looked utterly dejected.

Of course, he didn't feel that he had no will to live, but rather that Guan Liushui, at such a young age, had prematurely developed dementia and felt that he had no will to live.

"What were you doing in the Imperial Study? The alliance between our two countries has been signed. Aren't you going back to Daxin to tell the Song Emperor this good news and urge him to send his navy to help? Otherwise, our alliance will have been signed for nothing."

Guan Liushui paused, then released his grip, slumped into a chair, looked at everyone, and said with annoyance:

"Yeah! It's all your fault, you guys were all so excited, I completely forgot about my own task!"

Hao Xiong touched his neck and looked at Guan Liushui with a look of disgust.

"You're the one who can't think straight, and you're blaming us? It's like blaming the outhouse for your own inability to poop!"

"The outhouse?! Who are you calling the outhouse?"

No sooner had Hao Xiong finished speaking than Zhao Xuan slapped him hard on the head, and Hao Xiong covered his head and hid behind Gu Zhanghua.

"Brother-in-law, save me!"

Instead, Gu Zhanghua slapped him on the head again.

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth! Sister Xuan is right to teach her a lesson!"

"Hey! You two are ganging up on me? If I, your younger brother, am a dog, then what are you, my sister and brother-in-law?"

Hao Xiong was not to be outdone and immediately retorted.

In the end, Little Fairy Doctor watched with amusement as Hao Xiong was beaten by a combined doubles attack from Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan, a married couple!

Guan Liushui, the instigator of this whole mess, is now burying his head in his noodles, looking miserable.

It's not really his fault for forgetting to report back to the Song Kingdom. Relatively speaking, he would rather go to the northern border with everyone and fight side by side. He really didn't want to face that old fox, the Song Emperor, alone.

Since he used a self-inflicted injury ruse to trick Zhao Xuan into taking him away from the Heavenly Dao Alliance and escaping his father's iron fist, his life has undergone earth-shattering changes.

He realized his dream through his own efforts, became a famous opera singer, and gained these close friends. Now he is also shouldering important responsibilities and participating in national affairs.

I'm really overwhelmed!

Guan Liushui sighed, a feeling of indescribable guilt welling up in his chest.

After the singing and dancing competition, his father was pardoned by the Xia Emperor and is currently serving hard labor at a quarry on the outskirts of Liyang City. As his son, he has never visited him even once.

Why are you sighing for no reason?

Little Fairy Doctor brought a bowl of noodle soup and placed it next to Guan Liushui.

"It's warm, the original soup helps digest the original food."

Guan Liushui picked up the bowl, took a sip, and gave a wry smile.

"Since the end of the song and dance competition, I have been on a tour across the continent. I finally came back and then I was busy being the special envoy of the Song Kingdom. I didn't have time to visit my father at all. I am so unfilial."

“Oh,” Little Fairy Doctor said calmly, “I’ve visited my uncle a few times, and he’s doing well.”

Guan Shui suddenly widened his eyes.

"You went to see it? Why didn't you mention it to me?"

“I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet. Actually, I’m not that thoughtful. It was Xiao Wu who asked me to go. His identity is a bit conspicuous, so he asked me to go. Every time, I bring your father some daily necessities and food.”

Little Fairy Doctor suddenly smiled.

“Your father is like a different person. How should I put it? He has completely lost the domineering aura he had when he was the leader of the alliance. He is very gentle and always asks about your situation. I have told him everything in detail.”

What did my dad say?

Guan Liushui was a little uneasy. Although his father no longer opposed him going his own way, the shadow of being beaten for many years still remained. Otherwise, he would not have gone to such lengths to escape his father's control.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor stared intently into Guan Liushui's eyes.

He said he was very proud of you.

Guan Liushui breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his father now truly understood and supported him.

"When I get back from Daxin, I'll definitely spend some quality time with him."

"Who are you going with?"

Zhao Xuan ran over and overheard Guan Liushui's words. She picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and tilted her head to look at Guan Liushui.

"My father."

Gu Zhanghua and Hao Xiong also came over and sat down.

“Speaking of your father, I just remembered something. You traveled back and forth as a special envoy this time and facilitated the alliance between the two countries, which can be considered a great achievement. When we return from the northern border, I will mention to Father Emperor that your father should be pardoned from his hard labor.”

"Really?"

Watching the flowing water made my heart leap into my throat with excitement.

"How could it be false? Father has always been fair in his rewards and punishments."

Hao Xiong rubbed his head, which was throbbing from the beating. Luckily, he hadn't been knocked stupid.

"Why don't you think about it carefully? After this is done, His Majesty will reward you with an official position, but you don't know how to be an official. You won't lack for gold and silver, so you can use your merit to redeem your father's sins and exempt him from hard labor. Isn't that a good thing?"

"I will definitely work harder and harder!"

Guan Liushui wished he could set off for the Song Kingdom immediately; in his eyes, the Song Emperor's fox-like face was simply breathtaking.

Let's work together!

Zhao Xuan stretched out her hand, and Gu Zhanghua quickly covered Zhao Xuan's hand with his palm, then Xiao Yixian, Hao Xiong, and finally Guan Liushui.

The five friends clasped their hands together, and Zhao Xuan took the lead and shouted.

"We are united and will overcome this together!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone spoke in unison.

"We are united and will overcome this together!"

The five people's loud voices resounded through the sky, startling the birds that were perched on the branches. They chirped and flew away into the sky.

Under a cloudless sky, only five friends forged ahead with unwavering enthusiasm.

Young people should have lofty ambitions! To compete in the vast sky!
