I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Am I seeing things?!"

Lin Changshou muttered something, looked at the small jade bottle in his hand again, then quickly hung the small jade bottle around his neck and stuffed it into his clothes.

He will find an opportunity to ask Miss Shanglu about this matter after he finishes the work at hand.

........

"Master~~"

Ma Chengye's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly shout, and he knelt in front of Lin Yiran with tears in his eyes.

After so many days, he finally arrived in Shuitian City and met his master.

After shouting this, Ma Chengye suddenly felt dizzy. There seemed to be stars swinging in front of his eyes, and he felt like he was going to faint at any time.

No, you can’t faint!

He had just met his master and hadn't asked him if he didn't want him anymore.

Thinking of this, Ma Chengye bit his tongue swiftly, knelt there firmly, and looked at Lin Yiran with bloodshot eyes and flashing tears.

Lin Yiran felt guilty when she saw Ma Chengye, who looked like a beggar, extremely thin and with tears in his eyes.

It's a sin~

If the boy hadn't suddenly knelt in front of her, she wouldn't have remembered him.

When she and the Xiao family moved into the palace, she only brought the Lin family army into the palace.

Ma Chengye has a mansion in the capital, and although this boy is young, he pays great attention to the separation of men and women, saying that it is not appropriate for a foreign man to live in the palace.

So he returned to the Ma Mansion in the capital and usually helped out at the Imperial Observatory.

As time went by, Lin Yiran had nothing to consider and forgot about Ma Chengye, whom she had just taken to her side not long ago.

When I ran away, I didn't think of this child at all.

Oops~

Look at the pitiful way the child looked at her, like an abandoned Pomeranian.

"You---get up quickly."

Lin Yiran winked at Lin Changshou, then looked at Shang Lu, "Go and pour a cup of hot water for Ma Chengye."

It's a sin~

Look how cold this child is. He’s almost turned into a Muggle.

It took such a short time to catch up from the capital to Shuitian City, which shows that Ma Chengye didn't rest much on the way.

After all, Ma Chengye is only 14 years old and can only be considered a half-grown child. It is really a suffering for him to run such a long distance.

The key point is that Ma Chengye is a charlatan who doesn't know any martial arts. He can't compare to the strong physique of Lin's army who have been training all the way.

She just took a look at the Lin family soldiers. They just looked a little tired, but not as miserable as Ma Chengye.

Lin Changshou was sighing at Ma Chengye's miserable condition. When he heard what Lin Yiran said, he immediately went over to help Ma Chengye without even looking at his master's expression.

Oops~

Poor thing, it's such a pain to travel on horseback.

Ma Chengye clenched his back teeth, looked at Lin Changshou with resentment, and struggled not to get up.

He looked at Lin Changshou with an accusing look in his eyes: Let go, if you hadn't mentioned it, why would the master not take me with him!

Ma Chengye looked at Lin Changshou's distressed eyes with a hint of gloating, and felt so sad that he wanted to cry.

Don't think he doesn't know, just because his master took him everywhere during the period of conquering the capital, this old guy is jealous of him.

That's why he didn't mention him at all when he ran away with his master.

The old guy was able to make the Lin family army run away, so why couldn't he remind him?

Even if he couldn't follow his master on the flying vehicle, he could still set off half a day earlier. At least he wouldn't feel abandoned by his master.

Ma Chengye's cat-scratching struggle was not worth mentioning in Lin Changshou's eyes.

He directly picked up Ma Chengye, who was as weak as a willow in the wind.

Little thing, you want to play the victim to make your master feel sorry for you, right?

Assuming he can't see it, huh!

Lin Yiran looked at Ma Chengye dangling in Lin Changshou's hand, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Sit down now, don't stand."

The little body is swaying so much, how can it stand still?

Lin Yiran looked at Ma Chengye's trembling legs with a frown on her face.

"I---I can just stand."

Ma Chengye struggled for a few times, then glanced at Lin Changshou stubbornly with a pale face.

Old man, let go!

How can he be on an equal footing with his master? It would be fine if he could just stand.

"Sit down." Lin Yiran frowned, "Be obedient."

Hey ~

The little boy is strong-willed, she understands!

Ma Chengye's struggling body stopped after hearing Lin Yiran's doting words "obedient".

He looked at Lin Yiran flattered, his eyes instantly misted up, and he choked up and called out, "Master~"

Seeing that Ma Chengye was about to cry, Lin Changshou half-hugged Ma Chengye and put him on the chair.

"Whatever the master says is what it is. Don't argue with the master!"

When Lin Changshou let go of Ma Chengye, he whispered something and wiped Ma Chengye's eyes.

Tears are a bit harmful to the master, so he has to collect them in advance.

Before Ma Chengye could say anything, he felt a rough big hand stabbing his eyes.

He felt a slight stinging pain in his eyelids, and the mist in his eyes was also taken away by this rough hand.

Ma Chengye gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Changshou, the instigator, with a little resentment.

This old guy is the best!!!

Lin Changshou pretended not to notice Ma Chengye's resentful eyes, silently put his hands behind his back, walked to stand behind Ma Chengye's chair, hiding his achievements and fame.

Lin Yiran looked at Lin Changshou with great satisfaction. When it came to being obedient, Lin Changshou was the one she liked the most.

Lin Changshou listened to whatever she said, accepted everything she gave him, and expressed many words of gratitude and touching, giving her a lot of emotional value.

Just as Ma Chengye sat down, Shang Lu's water was brought to him.

Shang Lu frowned slightly, looked at Ma Chengye with a strange expression, and put the cup of water to his mouth.

"Open your mouth and drink some water first."

How come there is another strange boy competing for favor?

Hey ~

Looking at how doting the master is on Ma Chengye, this kid is also very much favored by the master.

The master won't even give an eye to someone he doesn't value.

Just like the maids who sweep the master's yard, the master has never cared what their names are.

Those maids are under her charge, and she is the only one who can follow the master.

Ma Chengye looked at Shang Lu who was so close to him, and tilted his head back slightly in embarrassment.

"I -- I can do it myself."

Ma Chengye spoke in a hoarse voice and stretched out his trembling hand to take the teacup from Shang Lu.

Shang Lu looked at Ma Chengye's shaking hands and the corners of his mouth twitched.

She directly held the back of Ma Chengye's head with one hand and put the cup of water to Ma Chengye's mouth with the other hand.

"Look at how you're shaking. Stop trying to be brave."

"Come on, open your mouth and drink the water first."

As soon as Shang Lu finished speaking, the cup in his hand was slightly raised, and the water had already poured into Ma Chengye's mouth.
