Ever since he learned about Zheng Qiong from his young apprentice, when they met again, Xiao Ming couldn't help but look at him with a bit of love and affection, and he looked at Zheng Qiong until his scalp was numb but he couldn't figure it out. It also pulled Lu Tianyu a lot of hatred.
#Suddenly found that I seem to have another rival in love! #
#Disgraceful bad news!Master treats my friends better than me! #
——For a while, Lu Tianyu's whole world was about to collapse, and this dissatisfaction reached its peak after his master gave Zheng Qiong a snow-white civet that he got from somewhere.
Zheng Qiong has always been lucky since he was a child. He has never had more than ten spirit stones all over his body, let alone any magical tools and skills, and he has taken the cheapest way of physical training.Fortunately, this person has a good understanding and a strong heart, so he has survived until now. Even though his cultivation base is not high, but because he has encountered too many dangers, he has a solid foundation and rich combat experience. Anyone who is about to be entrusted with a great post must first work hard on his will and his bones."
He endured so much hardship but remained strong.Living up to now, from another perspective, isn't it a kind of luck?Xiao Ming didn't hesitate to use one or two things that were dispensable to him to help his little apprentice gather a sincere helper.
Facts have proved that Xiao Ming's method of restraining people's hearts has always been accurate.To each other's itch.place.
Zheng Qiong has seen many treasures, but he can't keep them. He has always given away money to others, but he has never received gifts from others. Now he is suddenly stuffed with such a very expensive civet. up.
"After all, you are a disciple of the Beast Control Sect. Although you are a physical trainer, you have learned a lot about raising spirit beasts. I got this civet by chance. I am too lazy to raise it, so I will give it to you." Xiao Ming smiled kindly, watching Looking at the bewildered Zheng Qiong, he said softly.
"This, how did this happen!" Zheng Qiong hugged the soft civet, his whole body stiffened, and wanted to hand the cat back to Xiao Ming's hands, but he didn't dare to be too rude, and his honest and honest face was full of tears. famous.
Lu Tianyu squinted at him from the side, his face full of displeasure, and just about to ask for the civet to raise for himself, but Xiao Ming stopped him with a sharp look, so he could only keep silent resentfully.
"Why not? You are Tian Yu's good friend and have helped him a lot. This civet cat can be regarded as a meeting gift from me as a master." Xiao Ming, who successfully transferred the civet cat, was in a good mood and ignored the cat's grievance, "Mi Mumiwu", and even turned a blind eye to the claws that were stretching straight towards him trying to hook his clothes, "As a disciple of the Beast Control Sect, there is no one or two spirit beasts to say it. Although this civet looks weak, it also has some abilities. , if you contract it, you can have more guarantees."
"But I think Brother Lu..." Zheng Qiong couldn't bear the low air pressure emitted by Lu Tianyu, and just halfway through speaking, he was vetoed by Xiao Ming: "I naturally understand my apprentice, Tianyu is not suitable for raising such a weak and delicate child. Little things, it doesn't help him much."
Zheng Qiong refused again and again, but in the end, he had to follow Xiao Ming's statement and contract the somewhat unwilling civet cat. Rumu, who was not inferior to Lu Tianyu, was brought to the area.
Zheng Qiong has no master, plus he has a simple and honest temper, is poor and lucky, and has always been regarded as a marginal person in the Beast Control Sect. If Hu Zhenjun hadn't died unexpectedly, he would have been abandoned by the Beast Control Sect as the culprit in order to reduce the anger of Xuanji Sect .
Now that Zheng Qiong and Lu Tianyu are on good terms and have gained Xiao Ming's eye, this is truly a foothold in the Beast Control Sect.It's just that although Zheng Qiong is simple and honest, he is not stupid. He naturally understands the previous situation in the sect.
Compared with the sect that has lived for a long time but does not have a strong sense of belonging, Zheng Qiong trusts Lu Tianyu, a friend who "will never leave in times of crisis". He has a kind and gentle attitude, and even gave Xiao Ming a precious civet as a gift.
Even without the name of master and apprentice, in Zheng Qiong's heart, he sincerely respects Xiao Ming as a teacher—it's a pity that he doesn't know, and never will know, that this elder he respects also once He cheated him hard and made him bear a heavy blame.
Because there was still a Xuan Yue waiting outside the sect, Xiao Ming didn't stay at the Beast Control Gate for long, and left quickly after giving some pointers to Lu Tianyu and Zheng Qiong's practice, leaving the poor little apprentice behind .
After solving the problem of Xuanji Gate, Xiao Ming felt relaxed, and his attitude towards Xuan Yue, who had been abandoned by him for a while, was even more gentle.After the two left the range of the Beast Control Gate, Xuan Yue looked sideways at Xiao Ming, obviously unwilling to part ways: "Next, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Ming was silent for a moment, hesitated slightly, then took out a jade slip and handed it to Xuan Yue: "Do you know something about the prescription in this jade slip?"
The rubbings in the jade slips were naturally obtained by Xiao Ming from Lu Tianyu. He had asked Ling'er, Qi Ling'er, but did not get a satisfactory answer. After all, what Ling'er knew was the knowledge obtained from his previous master. The half-demon was obviously not among them, and the second person Xiao Ming thought of asking was Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue browsed the jade slips aside, frowned and shook his head: "Is this a prescription? I'm sorry, I don't know much about alchemy." After a pause, he looked at Xiao Ming who was obviously worried, and asked in a low voice, "This prescription is quite Strange, what is it for?"
Xiao Ming took the jade slip back and sighed softly: "I trust you, so I can tell you about this matter, but if it comes out of my mouth or into your ears, don't let a third person know about it."
"That's natural." Xuan Yue's face was serious, "I can swear the heart demon."
"It's not necessary." Xiao Ming laughed, softened his expression, and then explained in general that his disciple might be of the blood of the Scarlet King.
Chi Wang caused Xuanyue's master Dao to disappear, and the second senior brother went into self-exile. It can be said that there is a deep hatred. Xuanyue frowned, with a bit of hostility involuntarily. If Lu Tianyu was not Xiao Ming's beloved disciple, he would probably die immediately. Will be killed by Xuan Yue's sword - even though Lu Tianyu has nothing to do with what the Red King did back then, but after all, the blood inherited from the other party flows, and the father's debt is paid by the son, which is justified.
Xiao Ming naturally sensed the killing intent around Xuan Yue, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold down his right hand, which is used to holding swords. Immediately, Xuan Yue's aura stagnated, and the killing intent in his heart disappeared. Cool and soft to the touch.
"Don't reject Tian Yu like this, I haven't finished my words yet." Xiao Ming felt a little helpless, "The prescription I showed you just now was obtained by Tian Yu by chance, and he wanted to use this to get rid of the blood of the monster race in his body."
Xuan Yue reacted a little sluggishly for a few breaths: "Really?"
"Naturally." Xiao Ming nodded, "It's just that I don't know if this method is effective or if it will cause any damage to the body, so I want to find a reliable person to appraise it."
Since Lu Tianyu wants to get rid of the blood of the Yaozu, it means that he has no relationship with the Scarlet King, which is also a good thing.Xuan Yue pondered and nodded: "Although I don't understand these things, I know that some people may understand."
As soon as Xiao Ming's eyes lit up, he knew that with Xuan Yue's identity and connections, he would definitely gain something: "Who is it and where is it?"
"Ten desolate forests, a half-demon village." Xuan Yue's tone was firm.
The Ten Desolate Forest is where the barrier between the human world and the demon world is located, and the villages in the Ten Desolate Forest are inhabited by half-monsters, which is not a secret in the cultivation world.
The half-demon is in an embarrassing situation and is rejected by both humans and demon clans. In order to survive, the half-demon village came out as the times require. Probably only in the half-demon village, the half-demons can live with peace of mind and don't have to worry about danger.
The Ten Desolate Forest is close to the demon world, and there are many extremely threatening monsters active in it. Even if someone wants to capture the half-demon, they will not be willing to take the risk to go deep into it. Besides, the half-demon village is extremely xenophobic and hostile to all strange intrusions. Or, once someone steps into the Ten Desolate Forest and is discovered by the half-demon, he will be hunted down mercilessly, regardless of the reason or cause and effect.Therefore, although Xiao Ming knew about the existence of Banyao Village, he was very self-aware and did not plan to take this path, but he never thought that Xuan Yue would be the first to bring it up.
Seeing Xiao Ming frowned cautiously, Xuan Yue naturally knew what he was afraid of: "If we were two, it would be quite difficult to enter the half-demon village, but my second senior brother Xuan Ke has some friendship with those half-demons. .”
Xuan Yue never speaks in vain, since he said there is a way, it must not be a lie.Xiao Ming felt relieved a little: "Wouldn't it be too much trouble for Master Xuan Ke?"
"It doesn't matter." Xuan Yue replied lightly, and quite simply sold out his second senior brother.
Since the "junior brother" said it's okay, Xiao Ming didn't show any pretense, thanked him immediately, and confirmed the itinerary.And Xuan Yue, who was able to continue walking with Xiao Ming smoothly, was also extremely happy, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, contented.
The Ten Desolate Forest is in the extreme west of the mainland, even with the speed of Xiao Ming and Xuan Yue, it took more than ten days to arrive.During this period of time, Xuan Yue also told Xiao Ming about the grievances and grievances between his second senior brother and the half-demons, which should be summed up with love and killing (?) and seeing people's hearts over time.
Xuan Yue's second senior brother, Xuan Ke, was deceived by the monster clan, so he was very unfriendly towards the half-monsters at the beginning. The two sides clashed countless times, but no one could do anything to the other, so they barely kept the well water from the river water. state.However, as the number of times of "fighting" continued to increase, they also got to know each other a little bit, after all, they were no longer as vigilant as they were when they first met.
The environment around Banyao Village is not peaceful, and the natural enemies include not only humans but also monsters.Xuan Ke is hostile to the adult half-demons, but he is quite kind to the children born in the half-demon village. He even rescued the half-demon children who strayed into danger several times when patrolling the barrier, and gradually became friends. Next some kindness.
Xuan Qi has been stationed in the Ten Desolate Forest for more than a hundred years, and all the half-demon children who have helped him have grown up, and their attitude towards Xuan Qi is several times friendlier than that of their elders.With the help of these children, Xuan Qi was finally accepted by the Ban Yao Village gradually, and Xuan Qi stayed in the deserted forest alone for too long, and occasionally couldn't stand the loneliness, so he would go to the Ban Yaos to catch their popularity.
It wasn't until Xiao Ming followed Xuan Yue to Xuan Yu's small courtyard at the edge of the Ten Desolate Forest that he had a preliminary understanding of this real person who had only one side... or two faces.And when the two stood still in front of the courtyard, Xuan Ke, who had already received a summons from Xuan Yue, also came out to greet him, hugged his junior brother enthusiastically and patted his back, and was pushed away by Xuan Yue indifferently and disgustedly. Kai: "It stinks of alcohol again."
Xuan Qi grinned grinningly, without any displeasure at all, holding the wine gourd around his waist with one hand, and resting on Xuan Yue's shoulder with the other, he turned his eyes to Xiao Ming, his slightly narrowed eyes concealed the smile. Unfriendly: "This is...?"
"You have seen it before." Xuan Yue also looked at Xiao Ming with soft eyes, "He is Xiao Ming."
Xuan Qi froze, and cried out: "Xiao Ming? That little Taoist of yours? Isn't he Zhao Han?!"
Xuan Ke met Xiao Ming once, so he naturally remembered that the person's name was "Zhao Han" at that time, and the question just now was just because he didn't have a good impression of "Zhao Han", so it had a bit of a smug air.It's just that "Zhao Han" turned into "Xiao Ming" in the blink of an eye, which immediately confused Master Xuan Ke who had lived alone for a long time.
Xiao Ming coughed dryly, raised his hand to remove the disguise on his face, and saluted respectfully: "I am Xiao Ming, and I pretended to be Zhao Han because of some... unavoidable reasons earlier."
Xuan Qi blinked his eyes, looked at Xiao Ming with great interest, and then at his junior brother, with a strong sense of gossip.It's a pity that Xuan Yue didn't mean to explain at all, and pushed down the hand on his shoulder: "Why don't you let us in, what are we doing standing here?" After finishing speaking, he directly grabbed Xiao Ming's wrist and lifted his leg Step into the courtyard gate.
Xuan Ke muttered, "You're really welcome", and then followed in with a smile, and his attitude towards Xiao Ming also took a big turn, becoming warm and friendly.
Ever since he was deceived by the monster clan once when he was young and made a big mistake, Xuan Qi would always be skeptical no matter who he met.Although he had never met Xiao Ming before, he learned a lot from the descriptions of everyone in Luoshuizong, and Xuan Yue said eight out of ten sentences when he came to see him occasionally.The nine sentences are inseparable from Xiao Ming, which made Xuan Qi feel that the two are very affectionate and a match made in heaven.
Xuan Qi knew that his little junior was cold-tempered, and thought that he would accompany him with that sword and live a life of desolation, but unexpectedly Xiao Ming was killed halfway through, and Xuan Yue could show such a soft expression just by talking, which naturally made him Xuan Qi, who is a senior brother, is very happy.
Therefore, no matter how good Xuan Ke's impression of Xiao Ming was, the more he rejected "Zhao Han" who appeared later, he only felt that "Zhao Han" had evil intentions and ulterior motives, and forcibly broke up a pair of immortal couples.
Now it's all right, Zhao Han is Xiao Ming, and the relationship between him and Xuan Yue is still close, Xuan Qi is naturally happy from the bottom of his heart.
Xuan Ke was good at talking, and being stationed in the Ten Desolate Forest alone really suffocated him. After the conflict with Xiao Ming was resolved, he immediately changed the direction of his enthusiasm.Xiao Ming is good at dancing with his sleeves, and this time he has a need for others, so he naturally caters to Xuan Ke to the utmost, and the two soon chatted shoulder to shoulder, like friends they haven't seen for a long time.As for Xuan Yue... This person has always been unable to give a fart with three sticks, so he was directly ignored by both Xiao Ming and Xuan Qi, so he could only sit on one side and feel cold all over his body.
Xuan Yue's complexion was not good, if other people were here, he would probably be too frightened to say a word.It's a pity that Xuan Qi watched Xuan Yue grow up, and he has long been accustomed to it, Xiao Ming is even more confident, and only occasionally looks at Xuan Yue with a bit of ridicule and ridicule that is not humane.
——Obviously there was no conversation between the two, just a few glances made Xuan Qi feel that he had turned into a light bulb that spoiled the scenery. No wonder everyone in the comprehension world admired this pair of Taoists. One reaction was disbelief, followed by regret.
Although he became a light bulb, Xuan Ke finally found someone to chat with after holding back for so long. Even if he was blind, he didn't want to let it go. When you meet a bosom friend, you won’t return until you’re drunk.”
Xuan Yue frowned slightly, and when he was about to refuse, his second senior brother smeared his face: "Shut up! I know you don't want to drink with me, so you drink with your little Taoist companion! It's nothing to you !"
Xuan Yue silently closed his mouth, turned his head to look at Xiao Ming, but saw his "little Taoist companion" took out two wine glasses with a smile, and placed them in front of himself and Xuan Qi.
Now that Xiao Ming agreed, even if Xuan Yue was unwilling, he had no choice but to put his flag down. He just pressed Xiao Ming's arm on the table worriedly, and asked softly: "Second senior brother's wine is always overbearing, you do what you can."
"Do what you can! Drinking wine should be done as fast as you can! After thinking about it, it's better not to drink it! It's just ruining my good wine!" Xuan Ke shouted dissatisfiedly, staring at Xuan Yue with disgust, " Get out of the way, you spoiler!"
It is very rare to see others training Xuan Yue and grandson, Xiao Ming couldn't help laughing: "I don't drink well, and I risked my life to accompany a gentleman today, so don't dislike Senior Brother Xuan Ke."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" It was rare that someone was willing to drink with him, Xuan Ke waved his hands repeatedly.Xiao Ming turned to Xuan Yue with a smile again: "If I get drunk, I will trouble you."
Thinking of something, Xuan Yue was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly, and lowered his eyelids to cover his suddenly hot eyes.
Neither Xiao Ming nor Xuan Ke noticed the abnormality of Xuan Yue, and they both raised their glasses to drink.
Although Xiao Ming modestly claimed that he is not a good drinker and rarely drinks alcohol, he has his own way of drinking, so that no matter how much he drinks, he can maintain his rationality and not lose his composure.As for Xuan Zheng, he doesn't have any scruples. If someone drinks with him, he will drink more and more, and drink more and more violently. If it is not supported by a good amount of alcohol, he will probably be drunk soon.
The wine that Xuan Ke brought out was not only strong, but also full of stamina. Xiao Ming, who was not used to drinking such strong wine, was the first to be unable to hold it back. He raised his hand to press his temple and wobbled on the table, his eyes were blurred, and his brows were slightly furrowed.Xuan Ke also drank too much. Before, he was able to chat with Xiao Ming and persuade him to drink, but now he just instinctively poured cup after cup of wine down his throat. What flowed into the stomach was not wine, but tears of regret from the bottom of my heart.
The most intoxicating thing about drinking is drinking stuffy wine. There is no way to vent your sadness, you can only get yourself drunk, and sleep until dawn without knowing anything about human affairs.
Soon, Xuan Ke lay down on the table muttering, and spilled the wine all over the table with his unsteady wine glass, making the drunk people even more intoxicated.Xuan Yue raised his hand to support the wobbly Xiao Ming, turned his head to look at Xuan Ke who had fallen asleep, and sighed lightly——Even though it has been a hundred years, his second senior brother still can’t look away, can’t let go .
That's right, the three of them were brought up by the master from childhood, and they are very close, but the difference between the two senior brothers caused the master's celestial relationship to be cut off and his life span to be exhausted, even if the master said it was destiny before he died, and he didn't blame anyone , they couldn't let go of it.
——Even, sometimes he and the senior brother would secretly blame the second senior brother, blaming him for being too naive, not knowing people clearly, and mistakenly believing in evildoers.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ke...he... just let it go?" Xiao Ming was a little slurred, but his mind had not been completely eroded by alcohol.
"Don't worry about it, he's used to this for a long time." Xuan Yue's expression was indifferent, he hugged Xiao Ming who was leaning on him weakly with both hands, and half dragged and half supported him to the guest room beside him.
Even though Xiao Ming tried to stay awake, he was blown by the night's mountain wind and suddenly became groggy. When he entered the guest room, he had already fainted on the table without knowing anything.
Xuan Yue hastily made the bed, turned around and saw Xiao Ming lying on the table without any movement, his expression was helpless and indulgent, Fang wanted to reach out to pick him up, but Xiao Ming's hand strangled him like electricity Hold the throat.
Xiao Ming was unconscious, but vigilance was an instinct engraved in his bone marrow, and his murderous intent was fully displayed as soon as he made a move.Xuan Yue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately stopped his movements, and moved away the hand that had just been placed on Xiao Ming's shoulder, to show that he was harmless.
Sensing the lack of hostility from the other party, Xiao Ming's hand holding Xuan Yue's throat also slightly relaxed, and he frowned in confusion, his blurred eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see clearly the very familiar person in front of him: "... Xuan Yue?"
Hearing Xiao Ming's murmur, Xuanyue replied softly: "It's me, I'm Xuanyue, I'll help you to bed. Don't worry about it."
"Xuanyue...Xuanyue..." Xiao Ming called out this name, finally took off his defenses, approached the opponent's arms with a weak and boneless body, and even rubbed against each other coquettishly, "Uncomfortable..."
A soft complaint almost warmed Xuan Yue's heart, and immediately hugged Xiao Ming firmly with one hand, and brushed his forehead with the other hand with spiritual energy, softly persuaded: "Sleep, I will be better tomorrow morning."
Xiao Ming snorted softly, seemed to be nodding his head, and then he was picked up by Xuan Yue obediently, and after walking a few steps, he was put on the bed again, trapped between the quilts.
Xiao Ming rested his head on Xuan Yue's legs, and his tightly locked eyebrows slightly stretched as the opponent pressed the acupuncture points on his head.Xuan Yue lowered his head to look at Xiao Ming, his eyes became even warmer, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.
He knew that Xiao Ming was very defensive, but the more ruthless the other party was when he grabbed his throat just now, the more it made the obedience and dependence after recognizing him more valuable.At this moment, Xuan Yue wished that Xiao Ming would be so merciless towards everyone, except that he would lean in his arms like this and let him manipulate him defenselessly.
"Xiao Ming." Xuan Yue called softly, repeated this over and over again, and only then did the other party respond impatiently.
"Xiao Ming, do you love Xuanyue?" Xuanyue looked at Xiao Ming's slightly opened but out-of-focus eyes, softly as if worried about disturbing something.
"Love..." Xiao Ming replied in a daze, but without waiting for the inquirer's response, he frowned again and rejected, "No, I don't love."
Xuan Yue, who was surprised for less than three seconds just now: "..."
Unwilling to get this answer and give up, Xuan Yue shook Xiao Ming again, and asked, "Why don't you love?"
Xiao Ming didn't seem to understand the question, he frowned dully thinking, and after being questioned several times by Xuan Yue, he finally came up with two words: "Afraid..."
"Afraid? Why are you afraid? What are you afraid of?" Xuan Yue asked repeatedly in surprise and eagerness, but in the end he only got an "annoyance" and a back of his head, and was forced to unilaterally end this precarious questioning .
Xuan Yue watched helplessly as Xiao Ming abandoned his knee pillow in disgust, and curled up in the quilt with his back to himself, after all he sighed and didn't continue to disturb the other party's good sleep.
He would not do anything out of courtesy when Xiao Ming was drunk, but he was not willing to leave just then, he just sat on the edge of the bed and watched Xiao Ming, and he saw the morning light.
And that "fear" was also deeply imprinted in his heart, which could never be erased.
#Suddenly found that I seem to have another rival in love! #

——For a while, Lu Tianyu's whole world was about to collapse, and this dissatisfaction reached its peak after his master gave Zheng Qiong a snow-white civet that he got from somewhere.
Zheng Qiong has always been lucky since he was a child.

Lu Tianyu squinted at him from the side, his face full of displeasure, and just about to ask for the civet to raise for himself, but Xiao Ming stopped him with a sharp look, so he could only keep silent resentfully.

"But I think Brother Lu..." Zheng Qiong couldn't bear the low air pressure emitted by Lu Tianyu, and just halfway through speaking, he was vetoed by Xiao Ming: "I naturally understand my apprentice, Tianyu is not suitable for raising such a weak and delicate child. Little things, it doesn't help him much."
Zheng Qiong refused again and again, but in the end, he had to follow Xiao Ming's statement and contract the somewhat unwilling civet cat. Rumu, who was not inferior to Lu Tianyu, was brought to the area.
Zheng Qiong has no master, plus he has a simple and honest temper, is poor and lucky, and has always been regarded as a marginal person in the Beast Control Sect.

Since Lu Tianyu wants to get rid of the blood of the Yaozu, it means that he has no relationship with the Scarlet King, which is also a good thing.Xuan Yue pondered and nodded: "Although I don't understand these things, I know that some people may understand."
As soon as Xiao Ming's eyes lit up, he knew that with Xuan Yue's identity and connections, he would definitely gain something: "Who is it and where is it?"
"Ten desolate forests, a half-demon village." Xuan Yue's tone was firm.

Xuan Yue never speaks in vain, since he said there is a way, it must not be a lie.Xiao Ming felt relieved a little: "Wouldn't it be too much trouble for Master Xuan Ke?"
"It doesn't matter." Xuan Yue replied lightly, and quite simply sold out his second senior brother.
Since the "junior brother" said it's okay, Xiao Ming didn't show any pretense, thanked him immediately, and confirmed the itinerary.And Xuan Yue, who was able to continue walking with Xiao Ming smoothly, was also extremely happy, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, contented.
The Ten Desolate Forest is in the extreme west of the mainland, even with the speed of Xiao Ming and Xuan Yue, it took more than ten days to arrive.During this period of time, Xuan Yue also told Xiao Ming about the grievances and grievances between his second senior brother and the half-demons, which should be summed up with love and killing (?) and seeing people's hearts over time.
Xuan Yue's second senior brother, Xuan Ke, was deceived by the monster clan, so he was very unfriendly towards the half-monsters at the beginning. The two sides clashed countless times, but no one could do anything to the other, so they barely kept the well water from the river water. state.However, as the number of times of "fighting" continued to increase, they also got to know each other a little bit, after all, they were no longer as vigilant as they were when they first met.
The environment around Banyao Village is not peaceful, and the natural enemies include not only humans but also monsters.Xuan Ke is hostile to the adult half-demons, but he is quite kind to the children born in the half-demon village. He even rescued the half-demon children who strayed into danger several times when patrolling the barrier, and gradually became friends. Next some kindness.
Xuan Qi has been stationed in the Ten Desolate Forest for more than a hundred years, and all the half-demon children who have helped him have grown up, and their attitude towards Xuan Qi is several times friendlier than that of their elders.With the help of these children, Xuan Qi was finally accepted by the Ban Yao Village gradually, and Xuan Qi stayed in the deserted forest alone for too long, and occasionally couldn't stand the loneliness, so he would go to the Ban Yaos to catch their popularity.
It wasn't until Xiao Ming followed Xuan Yue to Xuan Yu's small courtyard at the edge of the Ten Desolate Forest that he had a preliminary understanding of this real person who had only one side... or two faces.And when the two stood still in front of the courtyard, Xuan Ke, who had already received a summons from Xuan Yue, also came out to greet him, hugged his junior brother enthusiastically and patted his back, and was pushed away by Xuan Yue indifferently and disgustedly. Kai: "It stinks of alcohol again."
Xuan Qi grinned grinningly, without any displeasure at all, holding the wine gourd around his waist with one hand, and resting on Xuan Yue's shoulder with the other, he turned his eyes to Xiao Ming, his slightly narrowed eyes concealed the smile. Unfriendly: "This is...?"
"You have seen it before." Xuan Yue also looked at Xiao Ming with soft eyes, "He is Xiao Ming."
Xuan Qi froze, and cried out: "Xiao Ming? That little Taoist of yours? Isn't he Zhao Han?!"
Xuan Ke met Xiao Ming once, so he naturally remembered that the person's name was "Zhao Han" at that time, and the question just now was just because he didn't have a good impression of "Zhao Han", so it had a bit of a smug air.It's just that "Zhao Han" turned into "Xiao Ming" in the blink of an eye, which immediately confused Master Xuan Ke who had lived alone for a long time.
Xiao Ming coughed dryly, raised his hand to remove the disguise on his face, and saluted respectfully: "I am Xiao Ming, and I pretended to be Zhao Han because of some... unavoidable reasons earlier."
Xuan Qi blinked his eyes, looked at Xiao Ming with great interest, and then at his junior brother, with a strong sense of gossip.It's a pity that Xuan Yue didn't mean to explain at all, and pushed down the hand on his shoulder: "Why don't you let us in, what are we doing standing here?" After finishing speaking, he directly grabbed Xiao Ming's wrist and lifted his leg Step into the courtyard gate.
Xuan Ke muttered, "You're really welcome", and then followed in with a smile, and his attitude towards Xiao Ming also took a big turn, becoming warm and friendly.
Ever since he was deceived by the monster clan once when he was young and made a big mistake, Xuan Qi would always be skeptical no matter who he met.Although he had never met Xiao Ming before, he learned a lot from the descriptions of everyone in Luoshuizong, and Xuan Yue said eight out of ten sentences when he came to see him occasionally.The nine sentences are inseparable from Xiao Ming, which made Xuan Qi feel that the two are very affectionate and a match made in heaven.
Xuan Qi knew that his little junior was cold-tempered, and thought that he would accompany him with that sword and live a life of desolation, but unexpectedly Xiao Ming was killed halfway through, and Xuan Yue could show such a soft expression just by talking, which naturally made him Xuan Qi, who is a senior brother, is very happy.
Therefore, no matter how good Xuan Ke's impression of Xiao Ming was, the more he rejected "Zhao Han" who appeared later, he only felt that "Zhao Han" had evil intentions and ulterior motives, and forcibly broke up a pair of immortal couples.
Now it's all right, Zhao Han is Xiao Ming, and the relationship between him and Xuan Yue is still close, Xuan Qi is naturally happy from the bottom of his heart.
Xuan Ke was good at talking, and being stationed in the Ten Desolate Forest alone really suffocated him. After the conflict with Xiao Ming was resolved, he immediately changed the direction of his enthusiasm.Xiao Ming is good at dancing with his sleeves, and this time he has a need for others, so he naturally caters to Xuan Ke to the utmost, and the two soon chatted shoulder to shoulder, like friends they haven't seen for a long time.As for Xuan Yue... This person has always been unable to give a fart with three sticks, so he was directly ignored by both Xiao Ming and Xuan Qi, so he could only sit on one side and feel cold all over his body.
Xuan Yue's complexion was not good, if other people were here, he would probably be too frightened to say a word.It's a pity that Xuan Qi watched Xuan Yue grow up, and he has long been accustomed to it, Xiao Ming is even more confident, and only occasionally looks at Xuan Yue with a bit of ridicule and ridicule that is not humane.
——Obviously there was no conversation between the two, just a few glances made Xuan Qi feel that he had turned into a light bulb that spoiled the scenery. No wonder everyone in the comprehension world admired this pair of Taoists. One reaction was disbelief, followed by regret.
Although he became a light bulb, Xuan Ke finally found someone to chat with after holding back for so long. Even if he was blind, he didn't want to let it go. When you meet a bosom friend, you won’t return until you’re drunk.”
Xuan Yue frowned slightly, and when he was about to refuse, his second senior brother smeared his face: "Shut up! I know you don't want to drink with me, so you drink with your little Taoist companion! It's nothing to you !"
Xuan Yue silently closed his mouth, turned his head to look at Xiao Ming, but saw his "little Taoist companion" took out two wine glasses with a smile, and placed them in front of himself and Xuan Qi.
Now that Xiao Ming agreed, even if Xuan Yue was unwilling, he had no choice but to put his flag down. He just pressed Xiao Ming's arm on the table worriedly, and asked softly: "Second senior brother's wine is always overbearing, you do what you can."
"Do what you can! Drinking wine should be done as fast as you can! After thinking about it, it's better not to drink it! It's just ruining my good wine!" Xuan Ke shouted dissatisfiedly, staring at Xuan Yue with disgust, " Get out of the way, you spoiler!"
It is very rare to see others training Xuan Yue and grandson, Xiao Ming couldn't help laughing: "I don't drink well, and I risked my life to accompany a gentleman today, so don't dislike Senior Brother Xuan Ke."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" It was rare that someone was willing to drink with him, Xuan Ke waved his hands repeatedly.Xiao Ming turned to Xuan Yue with a smile again: "If I get drunk, I will trouble you."
Thinking of something, Xuan Yue was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly, and lowered his eyelids to cover his suddenly hot eyes.
Neither Xiao Ming nor Xuan Ke noticed the abnormality of Xuan Yue, and they both raised their glasses to drink.
Although Xiao Ming modestly claimed that he is not a good drinker and rarely drinks alcohol, he has his own way of drinking, so that no matter how much he drinks, he can maintain his rationality and not lose his composure.As for Xuan Zheng, he doesn't have any scruples. If someone drinks with him, he will drink more and more, and drink more and more violently. If it is not supported by a good amount of alcohol, he will probably be drunk soon.
The wine that Xuan Ke brought out was not only strong, but also full of stamina. Xiao Ming, who was not used to drinking such strong wine, was the first to be unable to hold it back. He raised his hand to press his temple and wobbled on the table, his eyes were blurred, and his brows were slightly furrowed.Xuan Ke also drank too much. Before, he was able to chat with Xiao Ming and persuade him to drink, but now he just instinctively poured cup after cup of wine down his throat. What flowed into the stomach was not wine, but tears of regret from the bottom of my heart.
The most intoxicating thing about drinking is drinking stuffy wine. There is no way to vent your sadness, you can only get yourself drunk, and sleep until dawn without knowing anything about human affairs.
Soon, Xuan Ke lay down on the table muttering, and spilled the wine all over the table with his unsteady wine glass, making the drunk people even more intoxicated.Xuan Yue raised his hand to support the wobbly Xiao Ming, turned his head to look at Xuan Ke who had fallen asleep, and sighed lightly——Even though it has been a hundred years, his second senior brother still can’t look away, can’t let go .
That's right, the three of them were brought up by the master from childhood, and they are very close, but the difference between the two senior brothers caused the master's celestial relationship to be cut off and his life span to be exhausted, even if the master said it was destiny before he died, and he didn't blame anyone , they couldn't let go of it.
——Even, sometimes he and the senior brother would secretly blame the second senior brother, blaming him for being too naive, not knowing people clearly, and mistakenly believing in evildoers.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ke...he... just let it go?" Xiao Ming was a little slurred, but his mind had not been completely eroded by alcohol.
"Don't worry about it, he's used to this for a long time." Xuan Yue's expression was indifferent, he hugged Xiao Ming who was leaning on him weakly with both hands, and half dragged and half supported him to the guest room beside him.
Even though Xiao Ming tried to stay awake, he was blown by the night's mountain wind and suddenly became groggy. When he entered the guest room, he had already fainted on the table without knowing anything.
Xuan Yue hastily made the bed, turned around and saw Xiao Ming lying on the table without any movement, his expression was helpless and indulgent, Fang wanted to reach out to pick him up, but Xiao Ming's hand strangled him like electricity Hold the throat.
Xiao Ming was unconscious, but vigilance was an instinct engraved in his bone marrow, and his murderous intent was fully displayed as soon as he made a move.Xuan Yue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately stopped his movements, and moved away the hand that had just been placed on Xiao Ming's shoulder, to show that he was harmless.
Sensing the lack of hostility from the other party, Xiao Ming's hand holding Xuan Yue's throat also slightly relaxed, and he frowned in confusion, his blurred eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see clearly the very familiar person in front of him: "... Xuan Yue?"
Hearing Xiao Ming's murmur, Xuanyue replied softly: "It's me, I'm Xuanyue, I'll help you to bed. Don't worry about it."
"Xuanyue...Xuanyue..." Xiao Ming called out this name, finally took off his defenses, approached the opponent's arms with a weak and boneless body, and even rubbed against each other coquettishly, "Uncomfortable..."
A soft complaint almost warmed Xuan Yue's heart, and immediately hugged Xiao Ming firmly with one hand, and brushed his forehead with the other hand with spiritual energy, softly persuaded: "Sleep, I will be better tomorrow morning."
Xiao Ming snorted softly, seemed to be nodding his head, and then he was picked up by Xuan Yue obediently, and after walking a few steps, he was put on the bed again, trapped between the quilts.
Xiao Ming rested his head on Xuan Yue's legs, and his tightly locked eyebrows slightly stretched as the opponent pressed the acupuncture points on his head.Xuan Yue lowered his head to look at Xiao Ming, his eyes became even warmer, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.
He knew that Xiao Ming was very defensive, but the more ruthless the other party was when he grabbed his throat just now, the more it made the obedience and dependence after recognizing him more valuable.At this moment, Xuan Yue wished that Xiao Ming would be so merciless towards everyone, except that he would lean in his arms like this and let him manipulate him defenselessly.
"Xiao Ming." Xuan Yue called softly, repeated this over and over again, and only then did the other party respond impatiently.
"Xiao Ming, do you love Xuanyue?" Xuanyue looked at Xiao Ming's slightly opened but out-of-focus eyes, softly as if worried about disturbing something.
"Love..." Xiao Ming replied in a daze, but without waiting for the inquirer's response, he frowned again and rejected, "No, I don't love."
Xuan Yue, who was surprised for less than three seconds just now: "..."
Unwilling to get this answer and give up, Xuan Yue shook Xiao Ming again, and asked, "Why don't you love?"
Xiao Ming didn't seem to understand the question, he frowned dully thinking, and after being questioned several times by Xuan Yue, he finally came up with two words: "Afraid..."
"Afraid? Why are you afraid? What are you afraid of?" Xuan Yue asked repeatedly in surprise and eagerness, but in the end he only got an "annoyance" and a back of his head, and was forced to unilaterally end this precarious questioning .
Xuan Yue watched helplessly as Xiao Ming abandoned his knee pillow in disgust, and curled up in the quilt with his back to himself, after all he sighed and didn't continue to disturb the other party's good sleep.
He would not do anything out of courtesy when Xiao Ming was drunk, but he was not willing to leave just then, he just sat on the edge of the bed and watched Xiao Ming, and he saw the morning light.
And that "fear" was also deeply imprinted in his heart, which could never be erased.
