Xiao Lie originally held high hopes for the people from the Xiao Sect s. The son of the Xiao Sect's Sect Master, should be a figure akin to a divine dragon from the heavens.
However, when he saw it, he was greatly disappointed. He didn't see the aura, demeanor, self-restraint, and appropriate arrogance that a direct descendant of a big sect should have. What he saw instead was arrogance that seemed to look down on everything, and an uncomfortable ruthlessness in his eyes; he was just like a playboy who had grown up in the midst of pampering and flattery. But after thinking about it carefully, he also felt relieved … After all, it was simply impossible for Xiao Sect to care about this tiny little Xiao Sect. How could he possibly send any "important person" over? The identity of a "Sect Master's son" was merely an expression of respect for the deceased Xiao Zheng on the surface.
"Father, I heard that you and the Sect Leader went to welcome the people from the Xiao Sect. Why are you back so soon?" Xiao Lingxi just happened to be coming over to deliver the food to Xiao Lie, and asked while brimming with curiosity: "Are the people from Xiao Sect already here? What are they like? Is it because of your imposing manner? "
Xiao Lingxi's words made him think about the old man behind Xiao Kuangyun, and he nodded: "The people from the Xiao Sect are obviously unfathomable. However, Xi'er, in these few days that the people from the Xiao Sect have been here, you have to try your best not to interact with them. "If you can avoid it, just avoid it."
"Huh?" Xiao Lingxi blinked his eyes in confusion, then nodded his head lightly: "I know Dad, actually, I was already a little afraid of them. After all, they are from the Xiao Sect, so they must be super powerful."
"Even if you're curious, try your best not to get too close to them." Xiao Lie exhorted once again. Taking a light breath, he walked into the courtyard with a heavy heart.
"Father? What do you look like? "Did something especially big happen?" Having no father or daughter, Xiao Lingxi could see the worry on Xiao Lie's face with a glance, and he asked a little nervously.
Xiao Lie froze for a moment, then shook his head: "Nothing …" He paused for a moment and thought that if he did not say it, this meticulously thinking daughter of his might not be able to rest at ease for the entire day, so he slowly said: "When the Xiao Sect came to this place, they had brought a gift called 'Profound Opening Powder'. According to Xiao Kuangyun, this Profound Opening Powder had a very good healing effect on the damaged profound veins. "So …"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Can it repair damaged profound veins? "Really?" Before Xiao Lie even finished speaking, Xiao Lingxi had already let out an excited cry, and her two small hands tightly gripped the corner of her clothes. Repairing Xiao Che's profound veins had always been her greatest wish. These past few years, she had always worked hard with Xiao Lie to find all kinds of possible methods. To her, Xiao Lie's words were no different from the celestial sound of heaven.
"The effects of the Xiao Sect's medicinal pellet can't be compared to ordinary medicinal pellets. Perhaps it really can have a miraculous effect." Speaking to here, Xiao Lie's expression slowly dimmed. "It's just that, the main effect of the Profound Opening Powder is to increase one's profound cultivation speed for a certain period of time. Now, the Sect Masters and the rest all view this Profound Opening Powder as a priceless treasure, and they want them to use it on the useless Che'er in their eyes … The hope is really slim. "
Xiao Lingxi's expression froze and Xiao Lie's words were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished all of her excitement. She bit her lips and said resolutely, "No matter what method you use, you must obtain the Profound Opening Powder. The Little Che is not completely useless! He is the one who needs the Profound Opening Powder the most! "
"I will do my best." Seeing her daughter's expression, Xiao Lie let out a long sigh. However, he clearly knew in his heart how little hope he had of obtaining the Profound Opening Powder … Or rather, that was simply impossible.
… ….
Night fell.
"I saw Xiao Sect's Xiao Kuangyun today."
The candlelight in the room flickered slightly as Xia Qingyue sat on the side of the bed and lightly said.
"Oh... What kind of person is he? " Xiao Che yawned and casually asked like he did not care.
"Just like its name." Thinking about the look in Xiao Kuangyun's eyes as he looked at her, Xia Qingyue's eyebrows drooped, and a hint of disgust flashed past his eyes. Her master had told her before that amongst the four sons of the Xiao Sect's sect master, the other three could be considered to be dragons among men. Only her four sons were completely useless, and although they were doted upon by the sect master, they were the youngest, and the only son born of a legal wife.
"It's very normal, the people that the Xiao Sect would send to this place can be easily figured out with just a thought. However, it won't affect me in any way. At most, I'll go and take a walk with you tomorrow. " Xiao Che shrugged his shoulders as he said that, then his brows suddenly twitched, and his expression became slightly grave. He raised his head and asked: "Qingyue my wife, you said you saw him? So did he see you too? "
"That's right... "Why?" Xia Qingyue raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Che tapped his chin with his hand and suddenly said, "You said before that he was a trash with an extremely bad reputation. Phew, Qingyue my wife, if I'm not wrong, your master should be near Cloud Flowing City, right? "
"... How do you know? " A look of astonishment flashed across Xia Qingyue's face.
Xiao Che did not explain and instead said with a serious face: "Since that's the case, think of a way to contact your master, and let her come to this place tomorrow …" After thinking for a while, his expression became relaxed again. "Since your master is nearby, then it should be no big deal. Sleep."
Xia Qingyue raised her eyebrows, and thought carefully for a while. Then, thinking about the look in Xiao Kuangyun's eyes when he looked at her in the afternoon, she finally understood the meaning of Xiao Che's words. Her expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously pinched a sound transmitting talisman on her waist.
Seeing Xiao Che tidying up the blankets in the corner, her eyes slightly swayed, and her lips continuously moved several times. Only then did she finally let out a sound: "Sleep on the bed."
"Huh?" Xiao Che turned around, and with wide eyes said: "Qingyue my wife, what did you say?"
Xia Qingyue immediately turned away, not allowing him to see his current expression, and coldly said: "If you didn't hear it, then forget it!"
"I heard it!" How could I not have heard you! " Xiao Che hurriedly nodded like a chick pecking at rice, threw away the blanket in his hands, and threw himself onto the bed with lightning speed. He looked at Xia Qingyue while grinning: "Qingyue my wife, will you sleep inside or outside tonight?"
"..." Xia Qingyue did not speak. With a wave of her snowy hand, all the red candles were extinguished in an instant. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She reached out and pushed Xiao Che inside, pulled over the blanket, and covered the two of them. She lay down with her back facing Xiao Che, and said with a cold voice. Don't do anything you shouldn't! Otherwise I will never let you sleep in a bed again! "
"As you bid, dear old woman!" Xiao Che pulled on the blanket, and smelled the remaining fragrance of the young girl's body, and said happily.
Right now, she was being called "wife" by Xiao Che tens of times a day. From her initial sulks to now, not only did it sound incomparably natural, it also gave her an indescribable feeling of "I am his wife" at the same time. This subtle change made her feel flustered and at a loss. She closed her eyes and tried not to think about these things that had disturbed her mind. Not long after, she fell into a peaceful sleep.
It was three in the morning. It was the darkest time before dawn, and the entire Xiao Sect was quiet. Only the occasional buzz of mosquitoes could be heard.
Within the darkness, a light creaking sound came from within Xiao Lingxi's courtyard. Following the sound, the tightly shut door slowly opened, and a petite black shadow slowly poked out. After looking around in her surroundings for a while, she quickly rushed out.
But before the black figure could step out of the courtyard, a tall, gray figure suddenly dropped from the sky and landed in front of her. A young girl's cry of surprise sounded, followed by a serious voice that was trying hard to be suppressed: "Xi'er, it's so late, where are you going?"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Old … "Father!" The black figure who had been scared stiff pulled down the mask on her face, revealing a beautiful girl's face, it was Xiao Lingxi. Looking at Xiao Lie who suddenly appeared in front of her, she became flustered for a moment, "I … I... "I …"
"Ai!" Xiao Lie let out a long sigh, and said with a low voice: "Xi'er, you're going to steal the Profound Opening Powder, right?"
"I... "I …" Xiao Lingxi lowered his head, stuttering.
"You are my biological daughter. How could I not know what you are thinking?" Xiao Che let out another long sigh, as he patted his daughter's shoulder. "When you left my place in the afternoon, I already felt that something was wrong with your eyes, so I didn't feel at ease to come and watch … As expected, you had the intention to steal the Profound Opening Powder … Xi'er, you are being too ridiculous, do you know how dangerous this is? That Profound Opening Powder is not an ordinary thing, it is a gift sent by the Xiao Sect, if your whereabouts were to be discovered, it would definitely affect Xiao Sect's reputation, and at that time, the four people from the Xiao Sect would want to punish you for your crimes. Let alone me, no one in the Cloud Flowing City will be able to save you. "
Xiao Lingxi lowered his head and bit his lips, "I... I know all that. However... However... Little Che is too pitiful. He's clearly such a good person, yet is always laughed at by others, looked down by others, and treated as trash by everyone. If he could fix his profound veins, then he won't be ridiculed anymore.
Xiao Lie opened his mouth, but a painful expression flashed across his face.
"I often think about why the profound veins was destroyed by the Little Che and not me … This world's realm was too unfair to him … Dad, do you know? Every time I see my Little Che being mocked by others, how sad is it in my heart to pretend to not care and comfort me instead … If I can fix his profound veins, even if I become a thief … Even if I have to suffer the punishment of death, I am willing to die … "
As she spoke, Xiao Lingxi's eyes were already filled with tears. She covered her face with her hands and finally couldn't help but sob.
Xiao Lie's face violently twitched, and his heart ached as he looked at his daughter who was crying. He consoled softly, "Xi'er, I know that you are doing this on behalf of Che'er. However, not mentioning the consequences, after obtaining the box of Profound Opening Powder, Xiao Yun did not give it to anyone. It should be with your own strength, how could you steal it from Xiao Yun? Be good and go back to bed. Regarding the Profound Opening Powder, I will do my best to think of a way. Although I haven't fought over it all these years, at least I have a say in this Xiao Sect, and fighting for the Profound Opening Powder isn't completely hopeless. You can't do such foolish things again in the future. If something really happens to you … In the future, who will take care of and protect Che'er? "
Xiao Lie's last sentence lightly struck Xiao Lingxi's soft heart, causing her to suddenly feel a lingering fear in her heart … That's right! If I don't succeed, get caught, and get punished for it, what should I do, Little Che …
"I... "I understand." Xiao Lingxi untied his black clothes and threw it to the side. He wiped the tears off his face and said with a guilty face, "Father, I'm sorry. I'm going to go to bed now and stop doing this. Father, you should go back and rest as well... I promise I won't go and steal the Profound Opening Powder anymore. "
"Hehe, as long as you are obedient." Xiao Lie nodded and smiled gently. However, before he left, he still worriedly picked up the black robe on the ground and brought it away.
