Magic Star (奇星记之鲜衣怒马少年时)

Older brother!

Kill him!

I can't kill him. He's my younger brother.

If you insist that I kill him, then I'd rather leave the assassins camp.

Do you think that this is child's play?

Older brother!

You indeed have good martial arts skills.

Thank you, City Leader.

City Leader, I'm willing to serve you.

I hope you can give me a chance.

"Craftsmanship of Invention."

Xiao Si, do you read these kind of books?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I just feel that a girl reading this kind of book is quite strange.

Oh, right. What is your name?

Don't you already know?

You really are called Xiao Si?

That's right.

This...

Is that dog seller... really your godfather?

Do you know? I worked at his side for so many years

only to let him take me with him to the capital one day.

Now this is it.

No one will take me to the capital anymore.

So did you work for him just for him to take you to the capital? - Yes.

Your home isn't here in Pirate Bay?

I don't have a home.

My parents are all dead.

Sorry.

Then why are you going to the capital?

Because I hate this place so much.

My dreams are stars, oceans and the Dept. of Amusement in the capital.

I really can't stay one second longer in this rotten place anymore.

I really wanted to just burn down this place, to destroy it.

Xiao Si,

do you know? When I was your age,

I also had a lot of hatred that I didn't know where to vent it out.

Sometimes, I even wanted everyone around me to just completely disappear.

That's why, I can totally understand how you are feeling.

Can you really understand?

Of course.

I really hope that one day, I can create the sky wing in my book.

It can bring me to the places I want to go.

As long as I'm not happy anymore, I can just fly away.

You really dare dream.

Of course.

If you dare not to dream, how can you count on it to come true?

That's right, too.

One must have dreams. What if they really come true?

Older Sis, Yuan Shuai was gone early this morning.

You tell me, where can he go without telling us?

I thought he went to take revenge on Xiao Dao.

But I secretly asked people to help me ask about it.

There are no movements at Xiao Dao's camp.

Older Sis, could he have suddenly remembered something,

he has recovered his memories and knew we lied to him, and then...

I also thought of that possibility.

But the clothes he wore when he came here and that drawing have no signs that they were touched.

That's why, we can disregard that possibility.

Hey, a big man, just leaving like that without saying a word.

Disappearing just like that.

Really can't take it.

What's going on?

Older Sis, there seems to be someone outside.

At this time, who would come?

Could it be Xiao Dao coming here to cause trouble?

Hey, you two are both here?

You... Where did you go these past days? Where did you go?

You deserve to be hit! - Do you know how worried we both were?

Where did you go? You even dared to smile?

Hey, Xiao Cai! If you keep being this fierce, what if no one dares to marry you in the future? What would you do?

Don't change the subject.

We are talking about you.

Don't be angry first.

Look at what I have found this time.

Older Sis, isn't this...

Where did you get this stuff?

This is what I'm going to explain to you two.

Then hurry and say it.

That time, Xiao Dao falsely accused me of putting in poppy seeds inside the sauce.

At that moment, I felt that all my blood was rushing into my brain.

It's fine if he insulted me about other things but when he said that I put in poppy seeds in my sauce,

that's totally throwing my culinary belief in a cesspit to trample upon.

This is something that I totally can't accept.

How can I take it?

That time, I was totally so mad.

Xiao Dao saw exactly how you treat cooking as your life,

that's why he deliberately set this trap.

Maybe we have been too careless.

He even instigated those ignorant customers to create a disturbance.

The only thing I could do then was to keep the peace and calm the people.

Or else, the situation would surely have gotten out of control.

Enough already, stop blaming yourselves.

Since the matter has happened, we should bravely face it.

Learning from this.

Yuan Shuai, hurry and tell us about these poppy seeds.

Afterwards, all the customers had left.

I also slowly calmed down

and also understood Xiao Cai's good intentions for doing that.

But how can I just watch him destroy the business we worked hard to build?

I thought about it back and forth

and decided to start the investigation with this.

As long as we are able to find the source of the poppy seed,

and then prove that Xiao Dao previously bought it,

wouldn't that prove that we are innocent?

That's right.

Good thing that Heaven doesn't disappoint an earnest person.

Very soon, I found that poppy seed seller.

Stop beating around the bush with me.

I know who you are.

You are that cook in the All Seasons Hot Spring Inn, right?

Bro, I heard that he owed you quite a lot.

Xiao Dao, indeed owed me money.

I also know that he used the poppy seed he got from me to destroy your business.

But if you plan to use me to defeat him,

then you have come to the wrong place.

I heard that he has a small money safe.

The amount in there is quite huge.

Really?

Totally true.

Where?

Then you have to ask him yourself.

The small money safe you said is just something you made up, right?

Hey, how come you don't believe me, either?

That small money safe is real.

I heard that Xiao Dao actually planned to give it to you as dowry.

But if we really let him succeed,

wouldn't that just be giving out from his left hand and then receiving by his right hand?

In the end, it'll still end up with him.

Yuan Shuai, you're so great. You even thought of such an idea.

Right now, that Xiao Dao must have already been beaten half to death,

that he has already vomited out all the contents of that small money safe.

Actually, if not because he did such a cruel move on us,

I didn't want to do this, either.

I finally can be able to be at ease.

Hey, I think that customers might be coming in later.

Let's hurry and go prepare. - Okay.

Wait.

I still haven't finished talking.

From now on, no matter what happens in the future, you should discuss it with us first. - That's right.

Don't be like what you did this time, just deciding on your own. Understand?

Yes.

This time, I wasn't comprehensive in my considerations.

I will be take a note of it next time.

Older Sis, didn't you say that we were driving him away?

Quickly go back to work.

Saying one thing but doing another thing.

Isn't it still because you can't bear to?

Let go of me!

Who are you?!

Let go of me!

You guys dared to touch me, Older Bro Dao?

If you have guts, let me see who you all are!

Don't play underhanded moves on me.

Do you all not want to live anymore?! Yes?

Untie him.

You really were making quite some noise recently.

Mister Six?

It's really hard to see you.

That's why, I asked these men of mine to bring you here.

Mister Six, I was just talking nonsense earlier.

Don't put it to heart.

Mister Six, I also struggle for survival daily to be able to live till now.

This is also thanks to Mister Six granting me a way to live.

Stop talking about irrelevant things.

You owed me so much money and took so many supplies from me.

Let's settle it today.

Mister Six, I really don't have any money.

Even if I do have some and I don't pay you back, then I am your grandson.

If not because I got some news, I won't ask you to come here, either.

You wanted to marry that Zhou Xiao Cai that owns that hot springs.

Hence, you were able to save up quite a lot of money.

Is there such a thing?

None. None. Definitely not true.

Mister Six, from whom did you hear those lies?

You really won't cry until you see your casket, is that it?

Come. Put him inside a sack.

The fish in the sea today will have him as meat to eat.

Hey! Mister Six! Mister Six, have mercy!

Mister Six, I... I indeed have a bit of money.

We could have been done earlier on if you had just said it sooner. Where is it?

Okay. Okay. I'll say it.

I hid it under the large water jug in my backyard.

I dug out a hole and all the money was buried there.

Okay, already. I know the place now.

Put him in the sack.

Mister Six! Mister Six! I already told you everything! How come you are still...

Are you not going to follow the rules?

What that fatty from the hot springs inn said is right.

In dealing with a person like you, one must use poison against poison.

Fatty?

It was him who betrayed me?

It was indeed him.

But it's also fine to tell you about it now.

You want to take revenge on him? Just wait for your next lifetime.

Mister Six, I beg you to have mercy.

Mister Six, didn't that Yuan Shuai say to just drag Xiao Dao around the public square and let the public see him?

He asked us not to kill him.

Why must I listen to him?
