"elder brother."

Lele, who had calmed down a lot, stretched out her hands to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi held Lele in his arms, no longer as serious as before.

Zou Hongxia looked at Xiao Yi, not knowing how to face him for a moment.

Xiao Yi seemed to be extremely powerful in terms of both strength and background, and it was far beyond the ability of an ordinary person like her to approach him.

"Sister Zou, Lele must be scared."

Xiao Yi touched Lele's head, which was slightly hot.

Seeing this, Zou Hongxia hurriedly took Lele and became a little anxious.

Xiao Yi took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and handed it to Lele.

"what is this?"

Lele asked curiously.

"This is the elixir of immortality made by my brother. As long as Lele takes it, he can live a hundred years."

Xiao Yi was joking.

"Tsk...I don't believe it."

Lele looked disgusted.

Xiao Yi blinked. Good guy, he thought he could fool this.

In fact, what he said is true. If you continue to take it in the future, it will at least prolong your life.

Xiao Wan and the others smiled. As expected, kids nowadays are not as easy to fool as before.

The atmosphere on the scene became a little more relaxed.

Lele still took the pill and swallowed it as if it were candy beans.

Zou Hongxia was deeply moved when she saw this scene. The appearance of Xiao Yi was like the savior of them and their daughter.

Soon, Lele fell asleep leaning on her.

Zou Hongxia held Lele for a while, and finally gave her to the old woman.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you."

Zou Hongxia choked up and bowed deeply to Xiao Yi and others.

In the past few days, if it weren't for Xiao Yi, she would not have been able to solve these troubles on her own.

Seeing this, Xiao Wantang reached out to help.

"Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal for us. Don't think too much about it. Just take good care of Lele."

Xiao Wantang comforted.

"Uh-huh."

Zou Hongxia nodded vigorously, tears unable to help but slide down her cheeks.

She thought of her husband who had no news from her. If her husband were still alive, she would not have suffered so much.

After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Tianhua and his group went upstairs.

Xiao Wan and Zheng Nan took the initiative to stay and supervise the Xuanyan Sect disciples to clean up the mess.

Xiao Yi looked at the two of them and smiled in his heart, thinking that it was time to leave them alone.

Just then, a message came in on his phone. He took a look and saw that it was from Cong Feng.

[Brother Yi, I asked people to expand the search area, but still couldn't find any trace of Yuan Wenbin.]

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed and he simply replied to the message.

"Sister Zou, let's go to the office. I have something to say."

Xiao Yi came back to his senses and said.

Zou Hongxia nodded and led Xiao Yi to her office.

"Mr. Xiao, I must repay your kindness."

Zou Hongxia bowed to Xiao Yi again to express her gratitude.

"Even if my husband doesn't come back, I will do everything I can to repay him."

"Sister Zou, my mother is right. These are nothing to me. You don't have to take them to heart."

Xiao Yi said calmly.

"But……"

Zou Hongxia still wants to persevere.

"Well, if you really want to thank me, it's not impossible."

"You said."

"How about...giving us a discount on our room rate?"

Xiao Yi smiled and decided to give Zou Hongxia a way to express her gratitude.

Discount?

Zou Hongxia was surprised. How could a big shot like Xiao Yi be short of that little money for the room?

"It's settled, Sister Zou. If you say anything more, I'll really get angry."

"No, Mr. Xiao, okay, then I'll give you... a discount!"

Zou Hongxia said hurriedly.

"Haha, let's get back to the topic. I came to you because I have news to tell you."

"what news?"

Zou Hongxia asked, suddenly thinking of something.

"Your husband...my people investigated and someone has seen him."

Xiao Yi said directly.

"Really? When and where is he now?"

Zou Hongxia looked delighted and extremely excited.

"Don't worry..."

Xiao Yi told Zou Hongxia the only clue he had.

He did this just to bring a little hope to Zou Hongxia, but he didn't expect that what happened in the past few days would really break her down.

"He may still be somewhere in the mountains. Don't worry too much. Maybe he was delayed by something and will be back in the next two days."

Xiao Yi comforted.

Zou Hongxia nodded slightly, believing in Xiao Yi's words without a doubt, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

But why did her husband go into the mountains? Could it be related to the legend of the Donghuang Bell?

The thought flashed through her mind, and she recalled the occasional times her husband went out over the past few years.

Could it be that her husband has been hiding something from her all these years?

"what happened?"

Xiao Yi noticed something and asked.

"without……"

Zou Hongxia came to her senses and shook her head.

It’s not that she didn’t want to tell Xiao Yi, it’s mainly because she herself hadn’t figured out some things.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi didn't ask any more questions for a while.

Even if Yuan Wenbin had a secret identity and really coveted the Donghuang Bell, he didn't think it was a big deal.

If you encounter one, just don't accidentally kill him.

After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Yi left the office.

Seeing Xiao Wan and Zheng Nan talking and laughing in the lobby, he smiled and shook his head.

He didn't want to be a third wheel, so he was about to tiptoe upstairs when he was discovered by Zheng Nan.

"Xiao...Brother Yi."

Zheng Nan changed his address, as he really felt he was not qualified to call him 'Brother Xiao' anymore.

Xiao Yi's mouth twitched. Well, whatever you fear will come true.

"I... didn't see anything."

Xiao Yi said this subconsciously, and then felt a little regretful. Why did he react like this?

Xiao Wan's face was filled with black lines. They didn't do anything shameful, so what did this guy mean?

"Ahem...Brother Yi, I should go now. I've been out for quite some time."

Zheng Nan felt a little embarrassed.

"No, it's not dark yet, and the Donghuang Bell is silent, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Xiao Yi tried to keep her, mostly for Xiao Wan.

"No, I'll visit you another day."

Zheng Nan said this and looked at Xiao Wan.

"Miss Wan'er, I'll be leaving first."

"Um……"

Xiao Wan nodded, with a bit of resentment towards Xiao Yi in her eyes.

"I... let Wan'er take you there."

Xiao Yi changed his tone.

Zheng Nan nodded and left the inn with Xiao Wan.

"Miss Wan'er, please stay."

Zheng Nan said.

"When will you...come to see...my brother again?"

Xiao Wan asked hesitantly.

"If the Donghuang Bell makes any movement, I'm afraid..."

Zheng Nan was in a dilemma.

"Be careful... If we can't meet in the ancient town, I will wait for you at the Xiao family."

Xiao Wan took the initiative.

Although she wanted to be more reserved, her personality determined that she would never hide anything too much.

"Okay, I promise, I will go find Miss Wan'er."

Zheng Nan was excited and said a few more words before leaving.

"People have gone so far, you don't have clairvoyance, do you?"

Xiao Yi's voice suddenly came from behind.

Xiao Wan was stunned and almost took action. This guy obviously did it on purpose!

"Some people seem to be moved."

Xiao Yi put his hands behind his back.

"Who's moved? Which eye of yours saw me moving?"

Xiao Wan covered up.

"Hey... who said that to you?"

Xiao Yi continued to tease Xiao Wan.

"I mean, Brother Zheng seems to have a crush on someone."

"you……"

Xiao Wan's pretty face flushed, she stomped her feet, turned around and went upstairs, unwilling to pay any more attention to Xiao Yi.

This girl, can she be so thin-skinned?

"Going to practice?"

"Correct!"

"Go ahead, don't let Cui Yuer overtake you."

"Yes! I will surpass you and beat you into a pig's head!"

"..."

Xiao Yi smiled.

"Then why not talk about world peace..."
