However, as they passed through the Cangzhen Gate on the East Inner Court Road, a sudden gust of strong wind blew by.
Chen Mo instinctively dodged to the side, only to see a red ball fly past and land in a nearby pond.
Soon after, a little boy about four feet tall ran out from the gate, with rosy lips and white teeth, a face sculpted like fine jade, wearing a bright yellow robe with cloud patterns, black leather boots, and a golden longevity lock with a Bright Jade around his neck.
"My ball, my ball..."
The little boy lay down by the pond's edge, reaching out to try to get it.
But his arms weren't long enough, and after waving for a while, he could only watch as the ball drifted farther away.
He turned his head to Chen Mo and said in a childish voice, "Hey, tall guy, help me fetch that ball."
Chen Mo had already guessed the little boy's identity and nodded, "I obey your command."
