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

What happened during the day reminded Xiao that Cheng Xiao once told him that because of the grudges they had during the joint entrance examination, many people in his academy were not on good terms with him.

Xiao was originally thinking about going to find Cheng Xiao one day to see how he was doing and whether he could be of any help, and also to say a word to Huang Guxuan. Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiao came to him first.

After listening to Xiao's retelling, Cheng Xiao murmured to himself: "Don't give in?"

Then he gave a wry smile.

"I have neither background nor strength, so where do I get the capital to be so strong?"

Xiao fell into deep thought. Just when Cheng Xiao was about to change the subject to ease the awkward atmosphere, he spoke up: "You are at the bottom and have nothing to lose, but they do."

"You mean, people who think they are superior often weigh the pros and cons and think about whether such a loss is worth it?"

After hearing what Xiao said, Cheng Xiao also fell into deep thought. After a moment, he nodded: "I understand."

Xiao looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be necessary. I'll let you know once it's arranged. By the way, how long will you stay in the city?"

"After the New Year."

"Then we'll have enough time." Cheng Xiao nodded, and suddenly looked at the servant following Xiao, "Let's not talk about this for now, what are you going to do now?"

"Go out for a walk."

"That's great. Let's go together." At last, Cheng Xiao glanced at the nearest alley and added, "When I came to find you, they found me."

……

With Cheng Xiao as a guide, there was no need for the servant. When they passed a tailor shop, a man suddenly rushed out and almost bumped into them. They looked into the tailor shop curiously. Cheng Xiao didn't find anything interesting and prepared to continue shopping. He took two steps out and realized that Xiao didn't follow him. He looked back and found that Xiao was still standing there, with an expression as if he saw someone familiar.

"Is there anyone you know?" he asked as he walked back.

"Ah."

At this moment, Su Yunyan also discovered Xiao and greeted him.

Xiao walked into the store and took a quick look at the layout of the store. He felt as if he had forgotten something. Finally, he looked at Su Yunyan: "Why are you here?"

"Of course I was shopping. I felt my bones were going to become weak after lying down for so long, so I hurried out for a walk. On the way, I heard that the New Year in the Mortal World is almost here. According to Mortal World custom, people have to change into new clothes for the New Year, so I came. As a result, I bought too many things on the way, and I spent all the money that Brother Liuyun left. Now I can only wait for Xiaoli to go to the auction house to exchange some money to spend."

"Would an immortal be short of money?" Xiao asked.

Su Yunyan replied: "I definitely have enough spirit stones, but in the mortal world, you can't use spirit stones to buy things outside of the auction house, so I have no choice."

She suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "By the way, has Brother Liuyun exchanged messages with you?"

"Yeah," Xiao nodded and asked, "Where's Qiu Liuyun? Didn't he come out with you?"

"He went to report on the mission and has been gone for three days. He must have reached his destination, so I asked you the question just now." Su Yunyan said.

While the two were chatting, Cheng Xiao bought some raw materials for making pastries nearby. After buying them, he found that the two had not finished their conversation, so he went in.

"Xiao, would you like to introduce yourself to me?" Cheng Xiao handed the things he had just bought to Xiao and asked him to put them in the storage bracelet.

Xiao took the things and raised his chin towards Cheng Xiao: "Cheng Xiao, my classmate."

Just as he was about to continue his introduction, someone got there first.

"My name is Su Yunyan. I've been on missions with Xiao. I can be considered his... comrade-in-arms?" Su Yunyan looked at Xiao and teased, "Classmate... Xiao is actually from the Mortal World Academy? I can't tell."

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the things that Xiao had not yet had time to store in the storage bracelet.

"These things...are you planning to make rice cakes?"

"Rice cake?" Xiao took a look at the thing in his hand and found that it was indeed the raw material for making cakes. This was his first time celebrating the New Year here, and he didn't realize it until Su Yunyan mentioned it.

"Yes, I read that mortals would make rice cakes around the New Year, symbolizing success. The things in your hand match the raw materials mentioned in the book."

"That should be it." Xiao replied.

Su Yunyan looked at Xiao suspiciously: "Why do you sound so uncertain?"

Xiao felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Cheng Xiao leaning over and whispering in his ear, "This girl keeps calling me a mortal. Could she be..."

"Yes, he is from a fairy sect."

"Okay, I've decided!" Su Yunyan suddenly said loudly, "If you want to make rice cakes, take me with you."

Xiao looked at Cheng Xiao. He was the one who bought these things, and it was probably his idea to make rice cakes. He had never made them before, so he didn't know how to make them.

Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, making rice cakes also requires a lot of fun, so having one more person is naturally good."

While the three of them were chatting happily, the proprietress leaned forward and kept observing them. She was sure that the woman who came to the store first was most likely an immortal, and the other two seemed to have some friendship with the woman, so they must also be of extraordinary status. However, why did she look familiar with the long-haired beauty?

Finally, she seemed to have finally confirmed something and walked towards Xiao.

"Has this girl ever had her clothes custom-made in a shop?"

Xiao looked in the direction of the voice and found that the other party was talking to him. He then remembered that he had come here to order clothes when he just came out of the egg. After that, because of too many things he experienced, he forgot about it.

A "puff" sound came from the side, and Xiao glanced at Su Yunyan speechlessly. The latter turned her head away and avoided his gaze, with a smile on her lips.

"Has this misunderstanding not been resolved yet? Should I say you are worthy of being a man who once dressed as a woman?" Cheng Xiao tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, causing them to twitch constantly. He said this in a very soft voice, and only the three of them could hear it.

You guy...don't just dump that kind of thing out there casually!

Xiao glared at Cheng Xiao and suddenly noticed a different gaze. He turned around and found Su Yunyan looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, as if she was thinking about something strange.

He silently took two steps outside.

After hearing the news that Xiao had dressed as a woman, Su Yunyan really looked at Xiao carefully. She suddenly felt that it was not impossible, and she was even a little curious.

"I want to see it," she whispered.

Xiao followed the proprietress and walked away without looking back.

Red Xiao: "I think this girl has a good idea."

Green Mandrill: “?”

Xiao: "You want to see it too?"

Red Xiao: "I didn't say that, but if you're willing to wear it, I don't mind taking a look."

Green Mandrill: “No!”

Green Mandrill: They actually used this body to do this kind of thing? I'm shocked.

Red Xiao: "Don't be so quick to refuse. You can't run away."

Xiao: "Wait until I find the right time..."

Green Mandrill: “???”

For some reason, he suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship.

When Xiao came back with the clothes, he saw Su Yunyan's disappointed look and laughed angrily: "Do you think I ordered women's clothes?"

Su Yunyan coughed awkwardly and tried to change the subject: "You can try to tie your hair up and spread it out like this. If you just look at it, it does look like, um..."

Androgynous beauty.

The proprietress was still worried about her mistake for gender. After hearing Su Yunyan's words, she hurriedly said, "I have some good headbands here. I can give them to you directly as an apology. I hope you will forgive me."

Xiao was stunned when he saw the extra headband in his hand.

Su Yunyan struck while the iron was hot: "Boss lady, do you have a place to dress up? How about I help you tie it up now?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The proprietress immediately led the way in front, and Su Yunyan followed behind, pushing the confused Xiao.

......

Xiao paid the money for Su Yunyan, and the three of them left the tailor shop together. In a secluded place, the two people who were thrown away by Xiao finally found the target again. Seeing that the target and Su Yunyan were together, they decisively gave up tracking after reporting the situation to their boss.

Although "Yan Di" disappeared from the arena for a long time, the shadow she left in their hearts still remains.

At the same time, on the other side, Xiao Li received a message from Su Yunyan. After learning that she had left with the person who paid for her, he panicked.

Before leaving, Qiu Shangxian told him to keep an eye on his sister Yunyan and not let her run around, especially not enter places like the brothel and the kitchen.

He didn't want to offend an immortal, so he hurried to the tailor's shop, praying that he would be in time. Or at least he knew where they were going.
