"Brother Sima Long." Lin Xuan Qi greeted Sima Long with a huge smile when he got out of the mansion.

Sima Long, with his head popped out from the horse carriage, waved at him.

Behind Sima Long, in another horse carriage, was Liu Shao, mustering a smile and nodding at him.

And by the side, there were bodyguards and servants standing in line.

"Brother Lin, get on your horse carriage, I can't wait to have a great time by the riverside."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded and got on his horse carriage with Xue Cong and the others.

They carried items that he had wanted them to bring along.

All of them leaned to the side of the horse carriage and glanced out from the window, eager to soak in the wonderful scenery and cheerful mood along the way.

This was their first outing with Lin Xuan Qi after all.

He sat and relaxed with his head to the back.

Crack.

The convoy of horse carriages then moved on with a crack of the whip by the leading horse carriage.

Pedestrians stopped and chattered about the convoy when it went past.

"Wow. Who are these people?"

"Hush. See that emblem with the words Sima on the horse carriage."

"It's a member of the Sima Family."

"I wish I could live such a life someday."

"You? Maybe you will have better luck in your next life."

Their convoy of horse carriages, bodyguards and servants following behind were the envy of their eyes.

Sima Long, being in a good mood, waved at them with a huge smile.

Inside his carriage, Lin Xuan Qi preferred to just relax and enjoy this brief moment of vanity.

Being in an anxious mood, Liu Shao wasn't keen to interact and shut the windows of his horse carriage close.

It didn't take a long time for them to get past the pedestrians.

The scenery changed from the bustling streets to lush greenery along the official road after they got out from the city.

"The air feels so fresh," Yue Xin exclaimed after taking a deep breath.

Yue Jie nodded with her head resting on the windowpane.

Not only was the air fresher, the temperature outside the city was also much cooler than in the city.

Xue Cong let the breeze brush past her face and enjoyed the open area.

Her life had been in the mansion and a few other locations after she got into Lin Clan.

Liu Shi Shi sat quietly and reminisced about her life as a martial arts fighter wandering around the Da Qian Dynasty.

It was also a wonderful change of view for Lin Xuan Qi.

He had not been out of the city for such a long time too.

Splash.

The sound of water splashing could be heard when they got nearer to their destination.

And after a few moments, the convoy stopped.

"Here we are. Everybody can dismount and wait for the servants to get the tentage done."

Sima Long got down from his horse carriage and started to instruct his servants to get busy.

Lin Xuan Qi couldn't wait and got down the moment he could.

The horse carriages didn't have suspensions, and every bump was transmitted to his buttock, making it a rather uncomfortable ride outside the city.

The roads in Hong Feng City were rather flat compared to the official roads outdoors, so he hadn't had to deal with it.

"Brother Lin, the river is over there, my servants shall get the tentage up very soon." Sima Long pointed to him in a distance.

Then, Sima Long helped his wife, Zhang Jie, down from the horse carriage, making sure that she was safe and sound.

Seeing that he was busy, Lin Xuan Qi nodded to him and said, "Great. I'll go have a look first."

He helped Xue Cong, Yue Jie, and Yue Xin down from the horse carriage and led them to where the river was.

Liu Shi Shi had gotten down from it with a single leap.

The river was long and the stretch where they were was calm and restful.

Lin Xuan Qi got close to the riverside and embraced the serenity of the scene in front of him.

"Wow, look, a fish." Yue Xin got next to him and pointed at a dark shadow lurking among the water plants beneath the water.

She leaned forward and looked at the fish swimming freely in the water.

Yue Jie shook her head and pulled her back, "Don't get too close, you can't swim."

"I know." Yue Xin sighed and shrugged her shoulder.

As young mistresses there were many things that they weren't allowed to do.

Anything that could jeopardize their chances of being married was banned.

They were supposed to be fed plump and stay inside their room.

In a way, they ironically had more freedom now with Lin Xuan Qi.

He had never stopped them from doing things.

"Master Lin, do you need a drink?" Xue Cong, who was standing beside him, tried to let him have some shade with her sleeve.

Lin Xuan Qi shook his head, held onto her hand and put it down, "It's fine. I don't need a drink now."

Xue Cong nodded and realized that he hadn't let go of it.

"Look over there." He led her a few steps away and pointed at the riverbank.

There were numerous holes that could be seen in the soil.

"Hand me the pail and shovel." Lin Xuan Qi said with excitement.

This was what he had in mind when Sima Long suggested to come to the riverside.

Yue Jie came over and passed him one of the pails and shovels she had carried with her.

They didn't know why he wanted them to bring it, so Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi also came over to have a look.

Lin Xuan Qi began to dig into the soil with a small hand shovel.

The soil was wet and heavy when he dug into the soil.

He had to put the pail onto the ground and use both of his hands.

Thud.

Finally, the hand shovel hit onto something. He used his hand to push away the soil.

He picked up the river clam from the soil and showed it to Xue Cong and the others.
