The next day, Luo Yunji and Zhang Xiaofan went off to play again, accompanied by Liao Xing, whom they had gone to find.
Daoist Cangsong worried that the people from Tianyin Temple would reach Azure Cloud Mountain before them. So early that morning, he went to the Prince's Mansion and urged Tian Buyi to hurry back to the mountain.
Tian Buyi knew he couldn't avoid it, so he bade farewell to the Prince. But he couldn't find Luo Yunji and Zhang Xiaofan.
Daoist Cangsong was convinced Tian Buyi had hidden the two away. He stewed in annoyance, staying right beside Tian Buyi.
It wasn't until late at night that the voices of Luo Yunji, Zhang Xiaofan, and Liao Xing rang out in the courtyard.
"Where have you been?" Tian Buyi glared at Luo Yunji and asked in a stern voice as the three children walked in.
"Big Fatty! We visited so many, many fun places!" As he spoke, Luo Yunji rummaged through Zhang Xiaofan's arms and took out a brocade box.
"This is for you!" Luo Yunji hugged the box and ran over to Tian Buyi, stuffing it into his arms.
Then he pulled another brocade box from Zhang Xiaofan's arms as the boy came up behind him. "This one's for Shiniang! Liao Xing said you'd definitely like them!" He glanced back at Liao Xing, who stood behind them. After receiving Liao Xing's approving nod, he turned back to Tian Buyi and smiled so happily his eyes disappeared.
Tian Buyi felt the two brocade boxes in his arms, and all the anger that had built up inside him over the course of the day vanished at once. A pleased smile spread across his face. He nodded. "You played all day. You must be tired, too! Hurry and get some rest!"
