The little girl looked confused. The young man didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He squatted down to carry Xiu Ying on his back, and let Fourth Treasure straighten out his cloak. Madam Feng looked at the two of them walking away and sighed in her heart. This little uncle really was good to his daughter. He doted on her even more than she did.

This way, the Shen family still had people who doted on their daughter, so the resentment in her heart was slightly lighter.

The moment Xiu Ying was carried onto the horse, she immediately came back to her senses. Shen Junxiao's voice came from the top of her head. Her face heated up before she reached out her hands to hug his waist. This was the third time Third Uncle had taken her on a horse, so she still felt that it was strange to have taken advantage of someone.

The Dragon Boat Competition was held in the Kang River of Yongping Prefecture. Many commoners were already standing on the bridge to look around. There was also a spectator stand on the riverbank that was filled with people from the Yongping Family.

Shen Jun naturally wouldn't go to such a chaotic place like this. He had already booked a place for himself in a restaurant in the Dragon Boat Competition. The room was on the third floor, and he could see half of the Kang River through the window. Although it wasn't as clear as the viewing platforms, it was a completely different scene.

Xiu Ying didn't like to watch the scene, it was good to be comfortable in the restaurant.

Shen Junxiao also had a few classmates. Zhou Mingyi and Xu Dai were among them, and she didn't recognize the other two.

"Master San, you brought your niece out to watch the show again." Zhou Mingyi squinted his eyes and smiled when he saw Xiu Ying.

The other two scholars were stunned. Seeing the usually cold man carefully helping the little girl take off her cloak and tidying up her hair, their expressions became even more strange.

Xu Liuyun was not surprised. She took a box of sweets and placed it in front of Xiu Ying, asking, "Which one do you want to eat?"

"Thank you, big brother." Xiu Ying pinched a jujube with her handkerchief and smiled at him.

The little girl had an exquisite appearance, and her smile was so beautiful that it seemed as if it was carved from jade. Everyone couldn't help but laugh along with her.

Xu Liu chuckled. After getting along for a while, this little girl was still quite adorable. She was not as coquettish as when they first met.

Xiu Ying very consciously sat by the window, quietly drinking tea or eating some snacks. She didn't stick to Shen Jun's smile at all, giving him space to talk with his classmates. When the crowd saw that she was quiet, they felt that she was very obedient.

Not at all, the sound of a drum could be heard coming from the riverbank. The competition was about to begin.

"The young noble of the Yongping manor also participated in this year's event. Look at that purple colored boat. The one wearing black should be the one to receive the prize."

Zhou Mingyi raised his hand and pointed, and Xiu Ying saw a figure that was as small as a human hand, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

This little tyrant actually participated, and wasn't afraid of losing the match.

Xiu Ying didn't even bother to look at it as she continued to eat her snacks and drink her tea. Shen Jun smiled as he glanced at her. He was surprised to see that the young lady was not interested in the tournament. She was very excited when I brought her here last year.

Shen Junxiao realized that he couldn't figure out what the little girl was thinking at times, so he just observed her silently.

The gongs, drums, and cheers resounded through the sky. Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers. Xiu Ying raised her head and looked up. Unexpectedly, it was a purple ship that had arrived at the destination first.

What luck.

The dragon ships of other clans were too useless.

Shen Junxiao just so happened to see her rolling her eyes. He also looked out the window, and when he saw that it was Marquis Yongping's Mansion's boat that had won the championship, he also thought of the Little Tyrant Lord.

He also knew about the matters in the Heavenly Academy. Du Yicheng had bullied her quite a few times, and he was probably feeling depressed that she had won.

Du Yicheng seemed to truly have some sort of obsession with Xiu Ying.

Shen Jun smiled as he pondered silently, his expression grave. When everyone turned around, they saw the calm and amiable Shen San Ye looking at them. They couldn't help but look at each other. This master seemed to be in a bad mood all of a sudden?

After the Dragon Boat competition ended, the sun began to set. Shen Jun laughed and ordered some dishes and wine to be served. The sounds of footsteps echoed from time to time from the corridor outside. It seemed that more people had come to eat.

Someone knocked on the door. Shen Jun had been smiling as he thought that the food had been served. Unexpectedly, it was a guard with a sabre, followed by Du Yicheng.

"Third Master Shen." "I wanted to eat here, but I didn't know that the restaurant would be full. When I heard that Lord Third was here, I took the liberty to come and disturb him." The youngster cupped his hands with a smile towards Shen Jun.

While he was speaking, he secretly glanced at Xiu Ying.

He was someone who could be questioned, but he actually came just like that with thick skin.

The others were shocked by his words. Shen Jun smiled lightly and said, "Since we've met, it can be said that you are very considerate."

Other people might not understand his words, but Du Yicheng could understand it. Therefore, he shamelessly gave a 'yes.' Xiu Ying also understood this, and cursed inwardly with a cold face.

Thus, he added a pair of chopsticks.

Coincidentally, Master Shen had also booked a private room next door, and when he heard that Du Yicheng was next door, he was even with his third brother. Without a second thought, he sent someone to get it.

Everyone in the room could only pay their respects to Master Shen. Of course, Du Yicheng didn't need to have any status, he just remembered that he was the fat girl's father and wanted to go through the motions.

However, he had miscalculated. It didn't matter if the others left, he would be left with no choice but to passionately stay. He was so angry that he almost wanted to throw his chopsticks.

Xiu Ying ignored the haunting ghost. She ate an extra bowl of rice and was led by Shen Jun to walk along the river bank. She burped and couldn't even breathe after taking a few steps.

"Is the food so fragrant?" Shen Jun asked with a smile.

Xiu Ying wanted to say something, but she was about to burp. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and nodded. Then, the young man laughed. The bright moon shone brightly in the sky. The moonlight landed on the side of the youth's face, making his handsome face look as exquisite as jade. Xiu Ying's eyes revealed an infatuated expression as she looked at him.

Her Third Uncle was so good-looking …

Shen Jun smiled and looked at her strangely, thinking that this little girl had a hobby of showing good colors. He wanted to tell her that when she grows up, she must never use her looks to win someone over. Suddenly, there was a commotion not far away. It seemed like someone was shouting something about a child.

Child?

Without waiting for Shen Jun to react, a figure flashed past him, and the sound of a boy crying could be heard.

He subconsciously reached out his hand to grab the man who ran over, and the man who was holding the child and running also had some ability. He pushed Shen Junxiao back two steps in an attempt to block the man. Shen Jun's smiling face darkened, he took a big stride forward and attacked his lower body, the man screamed out and fell to the ground.

With the fall of the man, the boy dropped his hands as well. When Shen Jun smiled, he did not rush to catch it. His heart was beating quickly. Xiu Ying threw herself onto the ground, as if she was at the end of her tether. Ouch!

Shen Jun smiled as he looked at her. Behind him, there were many people pressing down on the man who was trying to run away.

"Young master, you have subdued him."

Shen Jun laughed as he helped Xiu Ying and the boy up from the ground. When he turned his head, he saw a group of unfamiliar faces surrounding them. A woman whose hair had been cut off from her bun rushed forward and hugged the boy as she cried.

"It's all thanks to this young master. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would really have run away." The person holding the man said again.

Shen Jun smiled as he dusted off Xiu Ying's skirt before turning to look at the passerby.

When he saw it, he was shocked and his pupils shrank.
