Qi Luo Man Ting Fang in the old days

Bai Xiuning adjusted his breath for a while and felt much better. Although his spiritual power had not recovered, at least the evil fire in his body had been suppressed.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the person next to him: "Thank you for your help just now."

Although he really didn't want to thank this apprentice, Haoyuan did save him.If Haoyuan didn't make a move, he could only kill Wang Chuanyue, then the matter he was investigating might be in trouble.

Seeing that he was so indifferent when he thanked him, Hao Yuan felt amused in his heart, but felt that this man was not only very good-looking, but also so cute when he was angry, and wanted to tease him again.

Hao Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I saved your life, but you just sent me with a thank you?"

Bai Xiuning didn't expect him to say that, and immediately became even more displeased: "Then what do you want?"

Hao Yuan propped his hands behind his back, one long leg was dangling on the edge of the table, sitting very shapeless.Bai Xiuning has never been in contact with such a dissolute person like him since he was a child, and the resistance in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Hao Yuan didn't seem to see the disgust on his face: "Since you can praise me during the day, you should know my name is Hao Yuan, but I don't know your name, it's not fair."

Bai Xiuning had no intention of concealing his identity, but since Haoyuan didn't recognize Bai's home clothes, but knew that there was a ghost in his body, he had to be cautious.

So he said: "A lowly name is not worth mentioning."

He obviously didn't want to say it, but Haoyuan seemed to be unable to understand his face, and said mockingly: "So that's how you so-called celestial righteous people treat life-saving benefactors?"

Bai Xiuning pursed his lips tightly.

After a while, he whispered, "My name is Xiu Ning."

Haoyuan: "Xiu Ning? Don't want to be peaceful? This name is interesting."

Seeing his misinterpretation, Bai Xiuning had no choice but to correct it: "It means tranquility."

Hao Yuan glanced at him, those deep red eyes seemed to be able to see through him, and said with a smile: "You won't just play tricks on me, right?"

Bai Xiuning felt guilty for a moment, his white earlobe was a little red, but he still said calmly: "If you don't believe me, I can't help it."

He is not cheating Hao Yuan, the same pronunciation is different, and Xiu Ning is also the name of his sword, so how can he be cheating.

Haoyuan: "Okay, then can you tell me what happened now? Xiu Ning~"

Seeing him calling his own name so frivolously, Bai Xiuning felt embarrassed.From childhood to adulthood, almost no one would call him that.

He didn't think about why he lost his composure again and again in front of Hao Yuan, but subconsciously avoided Hao Yuan's meaningful gaze, and said coldly: "This is... my private matter, so I'm sorry to tell you."

"What is it?" Hao Yuan quickly caught the unnatural moment of his pause, and Bai Xiuning's expression became colder: "Are you boring? Why do you like to meddle in other people's affairs so much?"

Hao Yuan said seriously: "I like fighting against injustices, not to mention that since you and I appreciate each other, why not make friends."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand towards Bai Xiuning.

That hand had distinct joints, wider and thicker than Bai Xiuning's.He looked calm, but Bai Xiuning looked away after only one glance and then remembered something, and said without moving, "No need, it's just a chance encounter. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you."

After he finished speaking, he jumped off the desk, and just as he stood still, pain flashed across his face again.Hao Yuan looked at him amusedly, but saw that he was walking steadily, not walking in front of Wang Chuanyue like his right foot was severely swollen.

Hao Yuan's enchantment was created with a ghostly aura, so Bai Xiuning can untie it naturally.

Hao Yuan watched him drag Wang Chuanyue away, Wang Chuanyue's fat body weighed at least 200 jins, and Bai Xiuning's fingers turned white.Haoyuan looked at it for a while, and finally made a decision when he walked to the gate of the temple, and said, "Your spiritual power has not yet recovered, and your legs and feet are not convenient. Where can you take him with the heavy rain outside? Or here Let's rest for one night and leave after the rain stops."

Although Bai Xiuning has no spiritual power, he still has ghost energy to drive.But what Hao Yuan said was indeed reasonable, if he really used ghost energy, it would be over if he met someone along the way, or was secretly seen by someone.Just because Haoyuan didn't recognize him, doesn't mean that other people didn't recognize him either.

If there are other people behind Wang Chuanyue, or if the person staring at Wang Chuanyue is also nearby...

He didn't dare to think about it, he just felt that he really didn't think carefully about this matter, and he shouldn't come to Wang Chuanyue for confirmation rashly.He wanted to give Wang Chuanyue a chance to tell the truth, but he underestimated the thoughts behind this person.

He originally wanted to take Wang Chuanyue back to Qilian Mountain, but at present, it seems that the only way to do it is to wait for his spiritual power to recover before leaving.

Although Bai Xiuning was teased by Hao Yuan in many ways, now that he calmed down, he returned to his usual calm and self-sufficient.He didn't procrastinate, and pulled Wang Chuanyue back to the original place, and created a barrier with ghost energy.But he didn't go back to the Buddha's case, but found a relatively clean place nearby, and planned to meditate and adjust his breath again.

It's rare for Hao Yuan not to quarrel with him anymore.

Bai Xiuning didn't dare to relax at first, but after all he had been tossed all night, it was almost dawn, and it was the most exhausting time of the day, and Haoyuan was really quiet again, so he closed his eyes to rest for a while.

Hao Yuan has been sitting on the Buddha table watching him, Bai Xiuning knows that he is watching, but the gaze is not as sharp and unbearable as before.Outside the window, the sound of rain kept coming, tick-tock hitting the mud from the eaves, and a unique damp breath seeped in from the window after the rain. Accompanied by Hao Yuan's gaze, Bai Xiuning felt relieved.

Bai Xiuning didn't have time to think about why this happened, he just closed his eyes and felt a little dazed.This was not a good sign, so he could only silently recite scriptures in his heart, hoping to maintain his sobriety.

Haoyuan saw that although he was sitting upright, he could occasionally see slight shaking, so he guessed that he must be exhausted and still struggling, so he quietly took out a small box from his sleeve and opened it.

There was a purple bead in the box, warm and bright, small and cute.Hao Yuan pinched it with his fingertips and stroked it, a faint scent followed his fingertips, and diffused silently in Bai Xiuning's direction.

Bai Xiuning's consciousness was chaotic, and he seemed to smell the fragrance of beautiful flowers that most reassured him.The struggling consciousness couldn't hold back anymore when it smelled the fragrance, its body swayed again, and fell into an embrace when it was about to fall.

Hao Yuan held Bai Xiuning in his arms, and seeing him falling asleep peacefully, felt mixed feelings for a moment.

He finally understood why he felt weird the first time he saw Bai Xiuning.

Bai Xiuning was wearing Nanyue Bai's home clothes, which Hao Yuan actually recognized, and this was the real reason why Hao Yuan had been following him.

And when Haoyuan saw the peach blossom birthmark on his wrist, he already had a judgment in his heart, and when he heard him say his name was 'Xiu Ning', he knew his true identity.

It's just that Haoyuan never imagined that the thin and small beggar who was picked up by his mother when he was begging at the door of his house would become the Assistant Lord of the Bai family that everyone praises today?

If Haoyuan remembers correctly, Bai Xiuning is only 22 years old.

When they first met, Bai Xiuning was only seven years old.

It was a snowy night in the middle of winter, and it would be New Year's Eve in a few days. Every family was preparing for the festival, and their village was no exception.

Haoyuan was nine years old at the time, just the age when he didn't understand anything and loved to play like crazy.His parents were busy with farm work all day long and had no time to take care of him, so he went wild with the children in the village, climbing mountains and water like monkeys, catching bird eggs, fishing and pheasants, doing whatever stimulated him.

It was almost evening when he came home, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a disheveled little beggar lying on his mother's lap.

The little beggar was dressed very thinly and looked tattered. His hands and feet were covered with mud and chilblains. Even when he was lying next to the brazier, he could tell he was shaking all the time.

When Mother saw that he was back, she hurriedly called him to turn on the hot water on the stove and get another towel.

Hao Yuan's skin is skin, but he was sensible early on. He immediately took the wooden basin, turned the boiling water into warm water, and brought the towel he used to wash his face.

He twisted it and handed it over, and the mother carefully wiped the stains on the little beggar's face.

The little beggar seemed to be asleep, but he couldn't sleep well, and from time to time he let out uncomfortable whimpers.After his mother wiped the little beggar's face clean, he realized that the little beggar looked really good-looking.Although her cheeks were flushed from the cold, she could tell that her complexion was very fair, and her eyelashes were thick and long, casting a pale blue shadow under the candlelight.

Mother continued to clean up the little beggar, but because it was inconvenient to sit on the chair, she asked Hao Yuan to help him take off his clothes, and carried him to the bed to wipe.

It was only then that Hao Yuan realized that the little beggar was covered with wounds all over his body. These wounds were almost covered with black marks, big and small. Hao Yuan counted them and there were nearly thirty of them.

The mother felt sorry for the little beggar while wiping it, saying that it was really a crime, how could such a small child do it.

It was only then that Hao Yuan thought of asking what was going on.

Mother said she found it while fetching water in the backyard, and the child passed out by the mouth of the well.Hao Yuan was speechless, it was freezing outside, with such heavy snow, this little beggar actually stayed outside in autumn clothes?

After his mother wiped the little beggar's body clean, he found that not only his face was beautiful, but his body was also white and tender. Except for the bruises from the beating, almost nowhere was white.

Mother was afraid that the little beggar would be cold, so she asked Haoyuan to find some clothes for him to change into.

Haoyuan went back to his room to find a set of old clothes, which should fit him, so he came out to help the little beggar put them on.At this time his mother also combed the little beggar's hair. Haoyuan took a look and suddenly felt that the most beautiful Qinqin in the village was not so good-looking anymore.

At this time his father also came back, mother and father talked about the little beggar, his father and mother are both honest and kind-hearted.Although the family is not too rich, they can live a decent life.His mother said that the new year is coming soon, so it's better to wait until the new year is over before sending the little beggar out.

His father asked Hao Yuan for his opinion, and Hao Yuan agreed without even thinking about it.

So the little beggar temporarily stayed at Haoyuan's house.

He slept for two full days before waking up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a bowl of hot meat porridge on the chair beside the bed.

He was attracted by the scent, and his stomach made rumbling noises, but he didn't pounce on it like an ordinary beggar, but looked at the room uneasily.

Hao Yuan just opened the door and came in, and saw him staring at him vigilantly.

"Are you awake? Eat it quickly. I just reheated this porridge. There are sausages in it. It's delicious." He happily walked towards the little beggar, but the little beggar stared at him more vigilantly.

Hao Yuan didn't notice anything wrong with him, instead he picked up the bowl and handed it to him.

The little beggar still didn't move, Haoyuan thought he had no strength, so he scooped up a spoonful and handed it to his mouth.

As soon as the little beggar's tender lips touched the spoon, he subconsciously opened a slit, but immediately squeezed it tightly again.

Hao Yuan didn't understand what he was going for, but saw him turn his head away, and whispered, "Excuse me, where is this?"

Hao Yuan: "This is my house, you fainted by the well of my house, it was my mother who saved you."

The little beggar looked at Haoyuan for a while, but he didn't see what he was afraid of in Haoyuan's eyes, and then slowly relaxed: "Thank you, I'm leaving."

Seeing that he was about to get out of bed after throwing off the quilt, Hao Yuan hurriedly held him down: "It's thirty years old today, where are you going as a beggar?"

I don't know if it was because he mentioned New Year's Eve, or because of the word 'beggar', the little beggar was shocked, and mist appeared in his big eyes without warning.Seeing this, Hao Yuan hurriedly said again: "Don't cry, I didn't bully you!"

The little beggar didn't cry in the end, he just held back his tears stubbornly, and said after his emotions stabilized, "I'm not a beggar."

Only then did Hao Yuan know what happened to him, and said again: "Then you have a name, right? What's your name?"

The little beggar hesitated for a moment, and finally, as if mustering up his courage, he said in a very soft voice: "I, my name is Xiu Ning..."
