So the days continued to live day by day, calm and not peaceful.

The same daily necessities, the same departure early and return late, but because there is a lover by my side, no matter how heavy the wind and snow is, there are always warm hands to hold me.

It was the end of the month, and one day, when Bai Ye and Xiao Ran went home together, they saw Bai Zhengqing sitting at the front seat in the lobby, drinking tea, and there were several beautifully packaged brocade boxes on the table beside him.Seeing the two, Bai Zhengqing put down the teacup, stood up and said with a smile: "You guys are back, Jiulongzhai sent people over in the afternoon, I saw that they were tired after waiting for a long time, so I asked that person to leave the things and let him gone back."

"Oh? These things? What do they want?" Bai Ye stepped forward, picked up the top brocade box and opened it. Inside was a mountain ginseng about the thickness of a child's arm. The body of the ginseng could already distinguish the human form. All limbs are ready, it can be seen that it is an old ginseng of some years.Bai Ye glanced at it, put the lid on the box and threw it away, then picked up the box below, opened it, and found a huge opal with radiant colors.Bai Ye stopped looking at the others and looked up at Bai Zhengqing. "buy?"

"Apologize." Bai Zhengqing smiled, but the smile disappeared before reaching his eyes, leaving only the curved lips. "In addition, regarding the gold, the village owner Lin said that it was a misunderstanding. In the next few days, the village owners of the water villages will be entertained. Not only will the gold be returned on the spot, but the seas that have been built will also be made at the same time. The water testing ceremony of the boat. In order to express my sincerity, I was specially invited to watch the ceremony.”

"Oh? Brother, did you agree?" Bai Ye pulled Xiao Ran to the other side and sat him down, took the ginseng tea offered by Kuxie and gave it to Xiao Ran, leaning against Xiao Ran's side, smiling broadly .

"I don't hesitate to send you such a generous gift, so I'm too embarrassed to refuse it on the spot. Besides, the matter of gold is indeed just a one-sided opinion of those water villages. If I go to inquire clearly this time, I won't be wronged." Who, do you think so?" Bai Zhengqing also took the ginseng tea that Kuxi brought, took a sip and put it aside, looking up at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye took advantage of Xiao Ran's bowing his head to drink tea, and smiled ferociously at Dabai. The lid of the tea bowl in his hand knocked on the rim of the cup, making a sound like a wake-up call. "But brother, I really want to have a good talk with Village Master Lin in person, what should I do?"

Bai Zhengqing pouted, nodded, and picked up the ginseng tea again. "That's it... However, I only accepted the invitation of Zhaizhu Lin as the head of the Xuantianmen, and I didn't say anything else... Speaking of which, the post you posted to others has nothing to do with my Xuantianmen, right? "

Bai Ye gave his elder brother a blank look. "What are the additional benefits of posting with Xuantianmen?"

This glance happened to be seen by Xiao Ran who looked up, and he tugged Bai Ye's sleeve to express his dissatisfaction with his rudeness.But Bai Zhengqing doesn't care, isn't it just a blank stare, and I have received all those things...

"Since that's the case, what have you done and what has it to do with me? What's more, everyone in the world knows that you and my brother are at odds, and everyone knows that I am number one in the world in front of you. , I can’t stop it, can I?”

Bai Ye raised the corner of his mouth and showed a slight smile. He was satisfied with Bai Zhengqing's answer. After looking through several brocade boxes, he took three of them and let Kuixi hold them. "Ginseng can keep you healthy, um... This cold jade cup is perfect for having a drink with Xiao Ran in summer. The Maitreya statue carved from this piece of purple jade is also very cute. It doesn't match up with you at all, big brother. Let it be used as a plaything for Xiao Ran. "

"Hey, I don't want it, isn't it too expensive?" Xiao Ran, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, shook his hand and refused when he heard what Bai Ye wanted to offer him.Although he didn't read all of them, he also knew that these things were sent by the village to please them, and they must not be ordinary things. He... is really not suitable for using expensive things.What's more, from Bai Ye's tone at the moment, he can tell that he will never do the things entrusted to him. Xiao Ran would be ashamed to accept these things, let alone use them for himself...

"What's valuable, it's all given to you by elder brother. How dare you refuse to accept it? Don't you, elder brother?" Cold eyes flew towards Bai Zhengqing who was holding a tea bowl and watching from the wall, and when he looked at Xiao Ran again, it turned into a pool of spring water.

"Yes, yes, third brother, it's useless for my second brother and I to take this kind of thing, if you like it, you can accept it, it's okay.... Uh, if you don't want to accept it, it's a waste to let me here, You'd better take it." Bai Zhengqing saw Bai Ye coming again with a sharp knife, and immediately sat upright and persuaded him: "Third brother, you are not as good as me and second brother with internal protection, and the mountain ginseng is the most suitable for you. Yes. Since the second brother likes the Hanyu cup, it is natural to stay here...and this Maitreya, cough, me and the second brother... Do you think it is suitable to bring this kind of gadget? Isn't it a joke to go out?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ran thought about it, so he got up and thanked Bai Zhengqing.

Two days later, Bai Zhengqing went to a banquet, and when he came back, he told Bai Ye that he would not stay in Wuzhou City to get in the way, and he would go to a few cities around and come back to pick up Bai Ye with him at about the same time.Bai Ye naturally agreed.

"You're not here, heh heh, he has nowhere to find someone to sue, just right!"

So Brother Bai packed a small package and left Xiao Suo without seeing him off.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, Bai Ye got up early, got out of bed without disturbing Xiao Ran, pressed the quilt for Xiao Ran who was sleeping soundly, and walked out of the room softly.

"I suspect that Kowloon Walled will try to hijack Xiao Ran again to threaten me. You will go to Hall Master Niu to send more people to protect Xiao Ran secretly, do you understand?" He said in a voice: "You don't have to go with me, you can stay too. No matter how clever you are, if something really happens, you might as well be steady."

"Yes, Second Master."

"Well, don't let Xiao Ran know about these things... and don't let people talk too much in his ear, don't let him be distracted by such trivial matters. I will be back around noon. Before I come back, you You must stay close to Xiao Ran, you know?"

"Second Master, don't worry, you don't need to order me so, I know what to do if you like me, heh!"

"I know you're smart..."

In the room, Xiao Ran slowly opened his eyes and sat up against the back of the bed.As soon as the people around him left, they felt a little cold, and the embers in the brazier were still burning, but it was so cold that Xiao Ran couldn't help but pull up the quilt a little.

He knew that Bai Ye didn't want to wake him up, but Bai Ye didn't know, would he be worried about him?

Today is the day for Bai Ye and Lin Jiansheng's martial arts competition. In fact, Xiao Ran has never forgotten it, and is always calculating it in his heart day by day.He knew, heard that Bai Ye was a top player in the Jianghu, but no amount of legends could make him feel at ease... He was just an ordinary person who worried about the safety of his own people, and he couldn't see the world of admiration in Bai Ye. The halo of number one, to Xiao Ran, regardless of winning or losing, even if there is even a slight wound on Bai Ye's body, he will feel distressed.

It was a world that could be known without his intervention as a scholar. He knew it, so he could only silently watch Bai Ye's back as he left alone.

Bai Ye's world, which he doesn't understand and cannot enter, is another world.
