Three quarters into You Shi [5 to 7 p.m.], at 6:30 p.m.
Tang Xun was sitting on a peach blossom tree, cleaning the branch every now and then, with a pair of clear and bright peach blossom eyes glancing at the pedestrians coming and going under the tree from time to time. He originally lurked on this peach tree to monitor his target’s daily whereabouts, but now the target had become a dead person, and the peach tree that was originally in bud had also blossomed, but he still refused to return to Tang clan to do business, because ——
A Mingjiao disciple came from the other side of the alley, with a few strands of his pale golden curly hair peaking from under the white hood, and his two beautifully shaped thin lips under the bridge of the tall straight nose, were turned up in what seemed to be a smile, but was not a smile.
Tang Xun immediately straightened his back, greedily watching every movement of the Mingjiao disciple.
He would pass by here every day, and every time he walked under this peach blossom tree, he would look up at the peach blossoms on the tree.
Tang Xun knew.
So at the moment when the Mingjiao disciple turned to look up at the flowers, Tang Xun quickly turned his head to look at the sky with an indifferent expression on his face.
However, the hands holding the thousand branches were already dripping with sweat.

Every day, once.
At three quarters into You Shi [5 to 7 p.m.] at 6:30 p.m., at dusk, the setting sun illuminated everything very warmly.
03
This Mingjiao disciple was a bit strange.
Every day when he passed by, he held some strange things in his hand.
Sometimes he was playing with a peacock feather from the Tang Sect, sometimes he was carefully carrying a pot of boiled fish for someone to take home, sometimes he was carrying a brand new wooden stake, and once he even held a panda cub with a bundle of emerald green bamboo under its arm.
Tang Xun found him more and more interesting.
Tang Xun thought in his heart that he must be taking these things somewhere, maybe because he had a lover from Tang Sect.
His lover must have given him a peacock feather, his lover must like spicy food, his lover must like driving wooden stakes, and his lover must like pandas.
The more Tang Xun thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.
Tang Xun thought it over, when the peach blossoms withered, he would go back to Tang clan to do business.
Because after the peach blossoms withered, when that Mingjiao disciple passed by here again, he would no longer look at the peach blossoms on the tree, and naturally he would no longer see his own figure looking at the sky behind the overlapping flower shadows.
The only point of fate would be broken.
04
There was a heavy rainstorm last night.
At three quarters into You Shi, when Tang Xun came to the old place, he was disappointed to find that the peach blossoms on the tree had been blown away by the storm last night, and the few scattered flowers seemed to be unable to support another night.
Tang Xun sighed and sat on the branch of a tree with his chin resting, waiting to take a last look at that Mingjiao disciple.
The Mingjiao disciple appeared, and today, a snow-white Persian cat was squatting on his shoulder.
The corners of Tang Xun’s lips curled up slightly, thinking that the ending wasn’t too bad.
However, when the Mingjiao disciple passed by the peach tree, the Persian cat on his shoulder suddenly jumped down, climbed up the tree nimbly, ran all the way to Tang Xun’s arms, and then rubbed against Tang Xun’s chest with satisfaction, looking cunning and intelligent.
Tang Xun was stunned.
That Mingjiao disciple raised his head, then he raised his hood at an angle with his fingers, revealing a pair of cat-like cunning and intelligent pupils of different colors, and smiled faintly: Good cat.

I like a person who sits on a peach blossom tree and watches the sky every day.
He looks at the sky and I look at him.
06
I passed by with peacock feathers today, implying that I like the Tang clan.
But he was watching the sky.
Hateful.
07
I passed by with a pot of boiled fish today, suggesting that he come down to eat with me.
But he was still watching the sky.
Hateful.
08
Today I passed by with a wooden stake, as I heard that people from the Tang Sect will jump at them when they see a wooden stake.
But he was still looking at the sky.
Damn hateful, hateful.
09
Passing by with a panda in my arms today, I would definitely succeed today, he must understand that I want to bring him back to the Western Regions.
But he was still looking at the sky.
Hateful Hateful Hateful Hateful.
10
Today I took Taotao, who has been trained many times, and passed by, and Taotao completed the task perfectly.
Damn, mom, I’m getting married!
I was calm, restrained and showing my most handsome smile.
