Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Somewhere in the past, ripples appeared in space. The next moment, a green crane appeared out of thin air.

Li looked at the familiar scenery in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Nothing has changed."

He spent most of his time guarding Tongtian Road, and it had been more than a thousand years since he last came back. Everything here seemed to have been paused. Although tens of thousands of years had passed, nothing had changed. The air was still filled with an ancient atmosphere and a dead silence.

He had thought that as the wounds left by the war gradually healed, this place would slowly recover. But now it seemed that he was wrong. A place with only old things could only remain in the past.

He flew towards the center of this world, he wanted to find the oldest beings here and report to them the news he had just heard from the young people. Only those people could decide whether to open the gate and let the old ones go out to help.

Suddenly, he noticed a brown-haired young man appearing in his sight. This was the border of the Land of the Past, and the gate was locked at this time. No one would come here except for people like him who had a special mission. He became suspicious and landed next to the young man.

As he approached him, he noticed that the young man was extraordinary in both his attire and temperament, and there was even a dragon pattern embroidered on his hem. The other party also noticed him, and his amber pupils turned to him. The moment their eyes met, his mind was shocked. From these sharp eyes, he read the majesty of the emperor.

But this feeling only lasted for a moment, because the other person turned around. After changing the angle of gaze, the aggression in his eyes was neutralized by the orange eyeshadow.

The other party claimed that he felt his lost power, so he sent out an incarnation to look for it, and eventually found his way here.

Li heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that after all these years, something unexpected had happened that he didn't know about. He said that there was only wasteland and cool wind here, and that it was out of bounds if it went further ahead. There wouldn't be what the other party was looking for, so he must have gone in the wrong direction.

"Out of bounds?" The young man fell into deep thought.

"Not to mention that your power cannot be outside, even if it is, the gate is closed now and you can't get out." Li said.

"......" The young man pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. Thank you for your information."

"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

......

After coming out of the Dragon Bone Abyss, Xiao and Huang Guxuan arrived at a small town before dark and found a place to stay. Just as the two entered the inn, a man suddenly rushed out from inside, followed by the angry voice of the shopkeeper.

"That boy is eating a free meal, catch him!"

Without waiting for the two people at the door to react, the freeloader grabbed Huang Guxuan and asked him to block in front of him, muttering: "Help, brother Guxuan!"

Huang Guxuan was shocked. He hadn't removed his disguise yet, so how could he be recognized? He looked behind him and realized that the person who used him as a shield was an acquaintance, or a colleague.

The next moment, this colleague wailed and let go of Huang Guxuan because he was captured by Xiao.

The shopkeeper and his thugs chased after them and thanked the two men, "Thank you both for your help and for helping me catch this guy."

After saying that, he gave a look to the thugs beside him. The thugs immediately understood and stepped forward to grab the person caught by Xiao, but suddenly someone took a step to the side and stood in front of them.

"Brother, what are you doing?" The shopkeeper looked at Huang Guxuan who was stopping his thugs.

"Why did you catch him?" Huang Guxuan asked.

"Isn't this nonsense? He wants to dine and dine for free. Who else should we arrest if not him?" a thug shouted.

"That's it." The shopkeeper nodded.

Huang Guxuan paid for someone else and said he wanted to stay in the hotel. The shopkeeper immediately changed his face and welcomed the three people in. However, when paying the deposit, both parties were embarrassed. Huang Guxuan had no cash on him, only some rare and precious items. There was no one at the inn who knew the goods, so it was difficult to estimate the price, so they refused to accept it. In the end, the money was paid by Xiao. He had been busy in the arena, and his storage bracelet was full of cash.

The man who was accused of eating a free meal called himself Qingyang, and he was working for Yuanliu, and he was also Huang Guxuan's contact. Because Huang Guxuan often changed his appearance, for the sake of work, he also practiced the ability to recognize people even if they turned into ash.

"Tell me what's going on."

In Huang Guxuan's room, the three of them sat around the tea table. Huang Guxuan looked at Qingyang and asked the first question.

"Don't mention it. I lost my wallet." Qingyang's face fell. "I finally got a day off to relax in this town near the Immortal Gate, which is full of vitality and not noisy. I drank some wine last night and woke up in the evening today. After dinner, I found that I had no money. I said there was a thief in the inn and stole my wallet. The shopkeeper didn't believe me and thought I was a poor guy who wanted to eat a free meal. When I checked in yesterday, he saw that I had quite a lot of money. Oh, it's really embarrassing."

"What about you? You suddenly disappeared some time ago without even saying hello and I can't get in touch with you. Why are you here now?" he asked.

"Some personal matters." Huang Guxuan replied.

"Private matter? Is it related to this kid?" Qingyang said as he looked at Xiao standing beside him.

Xiao was holding a teacup at this time, looking like he was watching a play. When the topic suddenly turned to himself, he was stunned for a moment and also looked at Qingyang. After looking at him, he suddenly felt that the other person looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"I guess so." Huang Guxuan gave the other party a look that said, "I know what kind of people you Yuanliu have, don't try to take advantage of them." He changed the subject and said, "Since the money is lost, what are your plans next?"

"What kind of look is that? I'm not a pervert, how could I possibly attack a little boy?" Qing Yang said, "As for my plan... since we've met by chance, I'll naturally follow you, in case I can't get in touch with you again. Someone of your status, you shouldn't mind me eating with you, right?"

Listening to his words, Huang Guxuan knew that he didn't see Xiao's extraordinaryness, which was good. He had a high status in Yuanliu, otherwise he wouldn't have encountered so few obstacles when he cooperated with Yuanliu. In Yuanliu, people who have reached his status are more or less crazy, otherwise they wouldn't have discovered so many lost forbidden techniques.

Speaking of forbidden techniques, Huang Guxuan had mixed feelings. It was hard to tell whether this kind of thing was good or bad. The forbidden technique played an indispensable role in stabilizing the battle situation with the dark beast tide. But at the same time, this forbidden technique also brought an imperial family that had lasted for thousands of years to its end, forcing him to become an enemy of the entire fairy world.

"Are we just going to have this awkward chat over some tea?" Qingyang suddenly asked.

"You mean... drink some wine?" Huang Guxuan smiled, "When I was still in Yuanliu, I never saw you drinking, and I thought you didn't like it."

Qingyang waved his hand: "Drinking can easily make people confused, which is a taboo in research. But now is the rest time, it's okay to indulge yourself."

"Where's Xiao?" Huang Guxuan looked at the third person here, "Would you like some?"

Without waiting for Xiao to answer, Qingyang said first: "Why would a child drink alcohol?"

"At least tonight, I don't have money to buy wine." Huang Guxuan said.

Hearing this, Qingyang immediately changed his words: "You have to start practicing your drinking capacity from a young age. What's wrong with being young? Come on, drink!"

"He may not be very young." Huang Guxuan looked at Xiao meaningfully and asked, "So do you want to drink?"
