Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 143 The Daily Life of He Xiyan
Snapped!
Snapped!
Zhou Lai flipped the bamboo knife in his hand, blocking Xiyan's attack from behind.

The right hand tilted suddenly to the right, and the bamboo sword moved towards Xiyan's wrist at a very strange angle.

Snapped!
Snapped!
It was obviously not the first time Xiyan encountered this kind of weird attack, she lowered her wrist, raised the bamboo sword in her hand with one hand, and blocked Zhou Lai's attack in front of her.

What followed was the continuous knocking of bamboo swords!
"Huh~, it's getting stronger and stronger!"

With one hand behind his back, Zhou Lai leaped backwards, out of Xiyan's attack range, and slowly exhaled the turbid air stagnant in his chest.

"Of course! Don't even look at who taught me!"

Xi Yan had a bandage on her chest, and her purple hair swayed wantonly behind her. She leaped forward and followed closely behind Zhou Lai, her bare arms shining white in the sunlight.

"There is a flaw!"

Xi Yan's eyes suddenly flashed a bright light, her leaping forward body suddenly accelerated, and the bamboo sword in her hand was like a full arc arrow.

Zhou Lai could only feel the air in front of him suddenly spread to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed, and a gust of wind pierced straight towards his chest.

Snapped!
The arm subconsciously blocked it forward, but the strength from the bamboo sword made him frown.

As soon as the wrist was loosened, the bamboo sword in his hand was swept away by Xiyan with a snap, but Xiyan's movement was a pause, Zhou Lai's body was completely out of the surrounding area before the next attack came.

"Whoo~, whoo~"

Xiyan covered the wound on her chest with one hand, panting heavily, cold sweat emerged from her forehead.The body trembled uncontrollably.The bamboo sword in the other hand fell to the ground feebly.

Zhou Lai's slightly frowned brows were tightened again, and his body went down at a much faster speed than before.

He stretched out his hand to support Xiyan's shoulder, letting her slowly lean against his arms, and then his eyes fell on the wound on her chest, and traces of bright red blood began to spread on the surface of the bandage.

Although the scope was not large, it still made Zhou Lai's heart skip a beat.

"give it to me!"

A crisp voice rang in Zhou Lai's ears, and Yingcao came to Zhou Lai, holding a dandelion she didn't know where she picked it with one hand.

"I'm fine, I just used a little force just now."

At this moment, Xi Yan had recovered a little bit, looking at Zhou Lai's wrinkled face, a very forced smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I shouldn't have agreed to your invitation to fight today. You didn't use a little bit of strength. Your strength is no more than this when you are not injured. Don't think about fighting you again when I am injured!"

Zhou Lai sat cross-legged on the ground, and supported Xi Yan to slowly lie on his lap.Let the firefly grass be able to better display the healing light.

"Don't! I'm not worried that you are bored!"

Xiyan looked at Zhou Lai's somewhat angry expression, the corner of her mouth smiled more intensely, and said in a playful tone.

Zhou Lai: "."

Even Yingcao, who was treating Xiyan at the moment, could feel the black line pressing on the top of Zhou Lai's head.

"Hehe~"

Xi Yan showed a very sweet smile.

"Master Xiyan's wound cracked during the healing stage, and it didn't have much impact. Now it has been dealt with almost, and the follow-up only needs to be recuperated."

The crisp voice of the firefly grass sounded again, and the bright green light on Xiyan's chest gradually dimmed.

Although Zhou Lai was calm on the surface, Xiyan could clearly feel that he was very relieved, because the temperament exuding from him just now was different. Xiyan felt warm in her heart, and the smile on her face became more sweet.

"Will it affect my training?"

When Yingcao was about to leave, Xiyan said abruptly.

"According to the current state of adults, it doesn't actually have much impact."

Yingcao turned a blind eye to Zhou Lai's gaze next to her, and looked behind Xiyan without looking sideways.The surrounding atmosphere became warmer and more genial.

The curvature of Xi Yan's mouth had already reached a limit, and her eyes turned to Zhou Lai's darkened face.

"Well, thank you, little Yingcao."

Xiyan stretched out her hand and pinched Yingcao's tender cheeks, then asked her to return to the space behind Zhou Lai.

"Listen, I can train."

Xiyan winked at the playful Zhou Lai.Grabbing his shoulders to get up.

"Forget about your state just now! I don't agree!"

Zhou Lai put one hand on her waist and helped her up.

"Just now, now is now, don't you see that I am still alive and kicking!"

Swish!
Xiyan rolled up the bamboo sword in her hand and pointed it towards the air, forming a sword flower.

Zhou Lai, who was still sitting on the spot with his chin resting on his chin, rolled his eyes away, and the curve of his mouth that had just been smoothed appeared again.

He waved the bamboo sword at him provocatively.

"I won't fight you." Zhou Lai turned his back to Xiyan.

"No!" Xi Yan hurriedly ran to Zhou Lai and squatted beside him. "How can I improve if I don't beat you!"

"Or, you let the terracotta warriors or snow babies come out. They all use swords."

"No, they don't matter, I don't worry."

"Then let the shadow clone come and fight me!"

"No, I'm here, isn't the shadow clone still me?"

"Then you can't do this, you can't do that either!." Xi Yan stood up with her hips on her hips, and stared at Zhou Lai with puffed cheeks.

"Your current wound is not suitable for strenuous exercise!"

"Didn't Yingcao just say that I can do it? Besides, I still know my physical condition."

Zhou Lai fell silent suddenly, and looked up at the girl in front of him in a daze.

He naturally understood the purpose of Xiyan's hard training, and for this reason, he even ignored his own wounds.

In the battle just now, he could clearly feel her desire to become stronger, her movements were open and closed, and a will to not admit defeat was carried out from beginning to end.

Even Zhou Lai knew exactly why Xi Yan did this, and various external reasons came second, but the most important thing was the change in Zhou Lai's own strength.

Although there was a certain gap between the two before, the difference in strength was still within an acceptable and catching up distance, but the changes in strength shown by Zhou recently have completely hit Xiyan's competitive spirit.

For this reason, Xi Yan hastened her energy to improve in her free time when she was injured and not doing tasks.

Zhou Lai sees all of this, but he can't do anything to persuade him. Everyone has their own ideals and the meaning of life.No matter how much he strives for, Zhou Lai can't decide Xiyan's life just by saying, I don't trust you.And he won't do it either!
Although I feel extremely distressed for Xi Yan, but now I can only silently support her.
