Bamboo horse is a world-weary male protagonist

in the inn

Ripples rolled on the one-person-high water mirror, and intermittent human voices and blurred images could be faintly heard from inside.

"Uncle Wang, are you still okay?"

"Do you want me to help you?"

Gu Xi couldn't wait, her two short legs dangled from the edge of the bed.

Wang Mi was busy adjusting the mirror, but didn't look back: "Young Sect Master, don't worry, it will be healed soon. The aura in this remote place is thin, and the reaction of the mirror is relatively slow."

He fiddled with it for a long time but failed to fix the mirror, so he stretched out his hand and slapped it hard a few times, only to hear a crackling sound, and black and white patterns appeared on the mirror surface.

After a while, the entire mirror surface became as clear as water, reflecting several faces huddled together.

"Father, mother, senior brother, fourth senior brother!"

After seeing the image that appeared on the mirror, Gu Xi happily jumped off |bed|, hugged the water mirror and printed a big kiss on the mirror.

Ba chi sound, loud and crisp.

His whole body was almost lying on the mirror, and the mirror couldn't support the child's chubby body which was constantly moving around, so he staggered down and was held back by Wang Mi's hand from behind.

"Doudou, how are you doing outside these few days?"

"Are you hungry?"

"Did you sleep comfortably?"

"Have you been frozen?"

As soon as a beautiful woman with an anxious face appeared, she spoke quickly and asked questions almost without breath.

She knows best about her son.

When he was on Lingyue Peak, this kid ran wildly all over the mountain like a little wild boar every day. It stands to reason that if he had the opportunity to go out to play, he would be so happy that he would forget about them.

But today I suddenly took the initiative to contact them...

After thinking about a lot of things that were not there, Shang Xue was nervous, and couldn't help but slapped the middle-aged man behind him on the chest, making the man let out a muffled groan.

Gu Mingyuan, who was affected by Chiyu: "..."

"Doudou...cough cough...you tell dad first, why did you suddenly contact...cough cough...us?"

Clutching his chest, which was nearly shattered by his wife's palm, Gu Mingyuan asked while coughing.

Gu Xi was a little dazed by Shang Xue's barrage of questions, but when she heard Gu Mingyuan's question, she blinked, showing a little bit of coyness in her expression: "Daddy, I have a good friend."

"I just want to tell you this," he said, his face flushed with nervousness, and his two small hands were tugging at the corners of his clothes by his side, with a bit of inexplicable shyness.

Shang Xue raised her eyebrows: "Friend?"

Gu Mingyuan was pleasantly surprised: "Girl?"

Eldest brother Min Zheng frowned: "An obstacle on the road to cultivating immortality?"

Fourth Senior Brother Yun Zhu tilted his head: "Fox, raccoon, fine?"

"what?"

The child was confused by a series of questions and stuttered a few words without understanding.

Turning her head, she looked at Wang Mi begging for help.

Wang Mi sighed helplessly, so he had to tell the whole story.

He expressed doubts about the fact that Gu Xi was able to find exactly where He Chengyuan was, and focused on the cultivators who suddenly appeared around the cellar on the day of the fire, and finally talked about He Chengyuan stealing Gu Xi's storage ring. The four people on the opposite side frowned, their faces darkened.

"Doudou," Shang Xue didn't want to be too blunt, and tried to ask in a gentler way: "Why do you want to be friends with He Chengyuan?"

Shang Xue also knew that Gu Xi had no playmates on Lingyue Peak.

So this time Gu Xi said that she was going to go down the mountain to find her friends. Although she was worried, she didn't stop her.

The Qianqing Sect is the largest sect in the world, and there are as many sects coveting the sect's magic treasures, spiritual weapons, and cultivation techniques as crucian carp crossing the river.

This He Chengyuan is indeed too suspicious, she is worried about letting Gu Xi get involved with such a person.

As soon as He Chengyuan was mentioned, Gu Xi's eyes lit up instantly, and he replied seriously with a raised face, "Because I want to be friends with him."

Shang Xue was amused by Gu Xi's innocent words: "Doudou wants to be friends with He Chengyuan, but He Chengyuan may not want to be friends with Doudou."

She heard what Wang Mi said inside and out, and the child named He Chengyuan seemed to have a gloomy personality and hardly spoke much, so she felt that the child probably had no intention of becoming friends with Gu Xi.

But I didn't want to, this sentence suddenly hit the child's sore spot.

The guilty Gu Xi took a step back, her face turned pale.

He stirred his fingers uneasily, trying to explain: "He Chengyuan, although he never said to be friends with me, but, but..."

But after not coming out for a long time, Gu Xi pursed her mouth aggrievedly and stopped talking.

yes...

It seems that He Chengyuan has never personally said that he wants to be friends with him...

Gu Mingyuan saw that his son was silent, so he told Wang Mi: "Senior Wang, if you have nothing to do, come back as soon as possible in the next few days."

"It will be the day of the Cultivation Conference once every ten years. At that time, young talents from all factions will compete on the stage. Let Gu Xi see that it will be of great benefit to his future practice."

Wang Mi nodded: "Okay, suzerain."

A few adults were talking about business in the mirror, when Gu Xiaotuanzi, who had been silent by the side, suddenly spoke out.

"However, I said that I want to be friends with He Chengyuan, so I can't take my word for it!"

Seeing that her son hadn't given up on being friends with He Chengyuan, Shang Xue frowned: "That kid named He Chengyuan can steal things, he's a bad boy, no one will blame Doudou even if Doudou doesn't speak well."

"He's not a bad boy, he apologized to me," Gu Xi argued anxiously.

Mother clearly said that he is a good boy if he knows his mistakes and can correct them. He Chengyuan has already apologized to him. Why do people still say that he is a bad boy?

He explained for He Chengyuan very seriously, but no one was willing to listen to him carefully.

The adults kept echoing and perfunctory him, but Gu Xi knew that they just didn't want to quarrel with him.

Children's intuition has always been terrifyingly sharp.

Gu Mingyuan, who hasn't seen his son for several days, has been grinning from ear to ear since meeting Gu Xi.

He took out the flying magic weapon that Gu Xi made with his own hands, smiled and asked Gu Xi if he liked it, and said that when Gu Xi returned to Qianqingzong, he would give him the new magic weapon to play with.

Gu Xi remained silent.

He felt tight in his chest, his nose felt uncomfortable as if someone had pinched it, and his eyes were sour.

He doesn't want to play alone.

He wanted to play with He Chengyuan.

With her face lowered, Gu Xi raised her hand to wipe away her tears indiscriminately, sobbing: "Daddy, He Chengyuan apologized to me, he is really not a bad boy."

"Help me persuade my mother."

Seeing that Huatou not only pulled back on He Chengyuan, but the little clever ghost also tried to drag his father into the same battle line, Shang Xue's face sank like water: "Doudou, don't mention that He Chengyuan again."

"He stole from you, and that's what makes him a bad boy."

Gu Xi stubbornly raised her small face, her attitude was rare and tough: "He didn't do it on purpose, if he doesn't take something, his father will beat him."

Shang Xue was dazed by her son's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, yelled angrily: "He's afraid of being beaten by his father, so he has to steal from you?"

"That kind of wild child who lacks discipline deserves to be beaten to death!"

"Don't talk about him like that!"

Gu Xi couldn't bear it any longer, and burst into tears.

Gu Xi didn't cry often, and it was even rarer to cry so heartbroken.

Coupled with the high penetrating power of the child's voice, the sudden crying and howling frightened the adults a little bit.

Seeing Gu Xi crying and hiccupping, her small shoulders shrugged, everyone felt distressed, so they could only ask Wang Miduo to take care of him, if the child named He Chengyuan had any abnormalities, Gu Xi's safety was the most important thing .
