Yan Xiao hasn't seen Xiao Chengyi since that day, maybe it's a good thing not to see him.

Yan Xiao has half of the blood of the Yaozu. Although he can't change form, he can fly like his fellow clan after learning the skills of the Yaozu. However, he is most used to flying with the imperial sword, so he can always fly in the city. He saw the figure of Yujian.

He flew to a remote place that day, and suddenly bumped into a layer of enchantment, slipped from the sword and almost fell to the ground. In desperation, thanks to the Yaozu skills he had always memorized, he landed steadily.

This enchantment did not cause any harm to him.Picking up the bounced sword and putting it away, Yan Xiao carefully approached the barrier and walked beside it, and finally found something similar to a mechanism on one side.Yan Xiao began to recall which kind of mechanism this kind of mechanism belonged to in the mechanism book he had read, and made a gesture of size, and he was about to press his thumb on the mechanism.

When it was time to put it on, he withdrew his hand again, pulled out the sword and cut his thumb, and when he pressed it up again, the mechanism was dyed red for an instant, and then returned to its original color. From the surrounding environment, he felt that the barrier had been opened. It closes again when entering.

Yan Xiao reckoned that he had discovered another forbidden area, thinking that he might have the ability to discover the forbidden area by just going to a new place to play, and he was not afraid of what would appear in the forbidden area.He casually pulled out the foxtails beside him, intending to enter directly through the gate of the courtyard in the enchantment.

After walking around, Yan Xiao didn't even see the door, which was not difficult for him, he went straight over the wall, walked into the yard waving foxtails and whistling.There is a stone table in the courtyard, and a person is sitting drinking tea.Hearing the sound of the whistle, the man raised his eyes to look at him.

Yan Xiao's whistle stopped instantly, and the foxtail fell to the ground, and he saw Xiao Chengyi again.

Xiao Chengyi didn't expect Yan Xiao to come here. Seeing his relaxed and comfortable appearance just now, he became stiff instantly when he saw himself, and said sarcastically, "Why, are you afraid that I will kill you?"

Yan Xiao didn't speak, because he was not afraid of these things, and he didn't want to be thought of as a coward, so he simply looked at Xiao Chengyi directly.

Xiao Chengyi wore a black blindfold over his left eye. After pouring a cup of tea, he picked up the cup and took a sip, but Yan Xiao saw his right hand trembling.He also found that Yan Xiao was looking at him. The difference from before was that this time he couldn't see even a little fear, so he moved his right hand in front of Yan Xiao.

"Do you think I have the ability to kill you now?" He asked again.

Facing Xiao Chengyi's sarcasm, Yan Xiao retorted not to be outdone: "I'm not afraid now."

Xiao Cheng snorted coldly, stood up and wanted to go back, but just as he turned around, he lost his standing and was about to fall.He gouged out his left eye a while ago, because he had gouged out other people's eyes before, so he didn't hesitate. He also broke a tendon in his hand and hamstring. Now his eyes have already adapted, but his legs are slower to adapt.

Yan Xiao's fear of their contact was overwhelmed by his enthusiasm for helping others and caring for others. He hurriedly rushed to hug Xiao Chengyi. He was not as stiff as before, but Xiao Chengyi froze when he touched him.

Xiao Cheng's pair of Shangyan Xiao's eyes, these clear dark red eyes, revealed a kind of simplicity and kindness, full of concern.Yan Xiao steadied himself, and immediately let go of his hand knowingly.

Xiao Chengyi was in a daze, he was still staring at Yan Xiao, and he didn't even know what was going on in his mind.Yan Xiao wanted to reach out and wave his hand in front of his eyes, but in the end he chose to stand obediently and stand still.

However, Xiao Chengyi took a piece of jade from his neck, and he stretched out his hand to pass it over. Yan Xiao said "Hey" and did not make any other movements. Seeing this, Xiao Cheng wanted to throw it away as soon as he let go of his hand.Yan Xiao stretched out his hand, and the piece of jade fell on his palm, transparent and warm.

"For you." Xiao Chengyi walked into the room, "Don't touch me in the future."

Yan Xiao put on the piece of jade and waited until Xiao Chengyi entered the room before going back.Xiao Chengyi probably didn't want to see him, and he wouldn't stay longer, but he could choose time to prepare a return gift recently.

He walked out of the barrier and returned to the courtyard where he lived, and saw his master waiting for him in the courtyard, saying that he would take him to the dreamland.When he arrived at the place, he heard his uncle talk about the dream weaving technique, and when he learned that he could see his parents in his dream, he was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Before staying in the dreamland enough, a whirling sound almost made Yan Xiao dizzy.He thought it was a sign of waking up, but when he opened his eyes, he found a place he had never been to.He walked up and down the street in a daze until an academy appeared in front of him.

The Yiyun Sect opened a school for its disciples to study, and it is precisely because of this that Yan Xiao has never been to the academy, so he has no chance to study in the academy. Every day he faces familiar faces like senior brothers and sisters.Even in the dream, Yan Xiao fulfilled his greatest wish to see his parents, and wanted to take this opportunity to stay in the academy for a few days to fulfill his other wish.

He took out a silver ticket from the human world on his body, and originally planned to go to the Chonglan Mountain Merchant to exchange for a silver ticket circulated in the demon world, but before he could go there, he fell into a dream, where the silver ticket finally came into use.After purchasing the required books, he went into the academy to find the steward of the college, paid the money for his studies, and the steward of the college led him into a large room.

"This is a new student from the academy. Yan Xiao, you can sit there." The steward pointed to an empty seat in the corner.

"Sorry." Yan Xiao walked in with the book in his arms, accidentally dropped one on the table of the person next to him, and apologized to the other party in a low voice.

"No need." The man turned his head to look at Yan Xiao and continued to read.

With just one glance, Yan Xiao was stunned again—the person in front of him was Xiao Chengyi, who was not trying to kill him with blood on his hands, nor was he imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​the demon world, but Xiao Chengyi, who was the same age as him. What happened, I actually saw him in my dream.

Yan Xiao erected the book and watched Xiao Chengyi quietly from behind. Now he has not shown that kind of viciousness, and his whole person is much softer. Yan Xiao guesses that he has not started to harm anyone at this time. the best of times.Yan Xiao realized that he had been watching for a long time, so he quickly turned around and pretended to be serious about studying.

After repeating this several times, when it was time for school to end, Xiao Chengyi looked at him with puzzled eyes: "Have you seen me?"

Yan Xiao didn't answer, but asked instead: "Do you know a person named Ying? He is about the same age as us."

Xiao Cheng shook his head: "No."

Yan Xiao understood that he appeared in this dream before his uncle arrived. Xiao Chengyi was still an ordinary boy from Panzhou City, and he did not commit any crimes or harm others.If this is the case and it is in a dream, then there is no conscience to get acquainted with him.He asked: "My name is Yan Xiao, how about you?"

"Xiao Chengyi."

"My family is in Hui'an Town, and I come here to study alone." Yan Xiao made up a history for himself with half-truths and half-fakes.

Xiao Chengyi asked him, "Then have you found a place to live?"

"Ah," Yan Xiao slapped his forehead, "Not yet."

"I have a vacant room there."

Yan Xiao knew that in the dream, he could stay for a few days at most, and he didn't plan to stay for a long time, and he couldn't explain clearly to the other party, such as "this is actually my dream", "I am real and you are all illusions", "I'll be leaving in two days" and other words, it is very easy to be regarded as a newly promoted lunatic, after much deliberation, agreeing turned out to be the best choice, so I agreed.

On the way, he bought a few clothes to change, added some odds and ends, and went to the courtyard with Xiao Chengyi.

"Just go around and knock on the door if you have something to do." Xiao Chengyi walked into his room and closed the door.

This house is not small, it seems that the family is indeed well-to-do.Yan Xiao wanted to ask Xiao Chengyi Academy when classes would start in the morning, but he withdrew his hand just as he was about to knock on the door—he saw a piece of talisman paper stuck under the eaves, and his experience that day made him instinctively reject this kind of thing. And return.

At night, he felt a little hungry, so he went into the kitchen to make noodles, and even brought out Xiao Chengyi's portion.Xiao Chengyi was going to the kitchen to grab a steamed bun to eat, when he saw Yan Xiao holding two bowls of noodles on the stone table.

"Let's eat together, it's just that there is no wind today." Yan Xiao could not help but push another bowl in front of Xiao Chengyi, "Stop eating your cold steamed buns, or do you not know how to make them yourself?"

"I don't pay attention to these things." Even so, Xiao Chengyi picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and tasted it.

You really don’t pay attention to these things, Yan Xiao slandered, from the house when he was studying, it can be seen that his house is better than this one, and he can live in a big house, and live in a small dilapidated house in the mountains, it’s even cooler You can eat steamed buns.Thinking about it, Yan Xiao found that he had already begun to make up Xiao Chengyi's life in the mountains, and hurriedly cut off his thoughts.

"How about I cook for you," Yan Xiao blurted out, "I can still move things, run errands, and I can do homework in the academy. I won't live in your house for nothing."

"No need." Xiao Chengyi concentrated on eating noodles and ignored him.

During the many years of getting along with Lu Jingyu, Yan Xiao has long mastered a set of methods to deal with this kind of people, which are simple and direct, brutal and effective. Obviously Xiao Chengyi is also the same type.If the request is made directly, they will flatly refuse, and tell them after finishing the matter first. They want to say why bother, but they are often too embarrassed to say it at this time.

Xiao Cheng couldn't figure out what Yan Xiao, who had only known him all afternoon, wanted to do, so it's not impossible to let him go first, and he didn't directly refuse.In Yan Xiao's eyes, his reaction was tantamount to acquiescing, and he would cook and eat when he woke up the next morning.

It can be said that Lu Jingyu is very particular about food and is extremely delicate. If he hadn't taught those mental moves, Yan Xiao would probably be trained by him to be a cook.So Yan Xiao didn't find it troublesome to do this in his dream, as if he was enjoying it.

After dinner, they arrived at the academy. Yan Xiao knew that Gu Shengzhi was also Xiao Chengyi's friend, but he hadn't seen him yet.After a stick of incense, Gu Shengzhi came late and slipped in through the back door, and everyone around him pretended not to see him.

"He often plays truant." Xiao Chengyi said.

Yan Xiao just caught a trace of vigilance from Gu Shengzhi's eyes, it doesn't matter if his identity is seen through, even if he is taken in, he can still walk out of the dream.Thinking of the yellow talisman paper he saw under the eaves in the morning, Yan Xiao felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
