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

Seeing the bowl of ominous medicinal soup being brought in, Xiao fell asleep. Isn't there something called elixir here? Why should I drink this bitter-looking medicinal soup?

The servant kept calling beside the bed, but Xiao hid under the quilt and refused to come out. She didn't dare to do anything and could only leave the room helplessly.

Feeling that the person had left, Xiao lifted the quilt and looked at the medicine soup and wontons on the table. Although he didn't want to drink the medicine, it felt impolite to pour it out directly. Forget it, don't think about it for now. I haven't eaten dinner yet, and now I'm a little hungry, so I'll eat breakfast first.

Halfway through eating the wontons, Xiao felt someone coming again, so he hid back under the quilt.

Qiao Huanxi came in and looked at the half-eaten wonton. Then he shifted his gaze to the towering quilt and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have this side."

"I think I'm fine." Xiao came out of the bed and looked at President Qiao with a serious face. However, with his messy hair, he looked like a threatening green cat that had restrained its claws.

"Are you afraid of the bitter taste? I just brought some sweets with me." As if afraid that the other party would not believe him, President Qiao took out something from his storage bracelet, and a sweet smell filled the air.

Xiao looked at President Qiao, and his eyes seemed to be asking, "Are you treating me like a child?"

President Qiao didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao with a smile.

Finally, Xiao was defeated and reluctantly took the bowl of medicine. After the medicine went into his stomach, Xiao became completely depressed. The beautiful day ended after drinking the bitter medicine.

President Qiao threw a dessert snack to Xiao and sat down beside the bed.

"That move of yours has too many side effects. It's better not to use it unless necessary."

Xiao took the food, listened to what President Qiao said, and nodded while unpacking it.

Qiao Huanxi paused for a moment before speaking: "What are your plans next? With your talent, it is enough to attract the attention of the sect's top leaders, so that you can obtain more cultivation resources. If you want to join the immortal sect, I can arrange it for you."

"What is the Immortal Gate like?" Xiao asked.

"The Immortal Sect is one of the top sects. All the people in the Immortal Sect are extremely talented. They have countless resources and have become immortals who are superior to the mortal world because they have left the mortal world behind. The Immortal Sect will not care about disputes in the mortal world. They will only take action when an enemy that can threaten them appears."

"I see." Xiao echoed absentmindedly.

"Although people also call us immortals, it's only because our realm is high enough. Compared with real immortals, we are not only weak, but also lack that immortal aura."

After saying this, Qiao Huanxi stared at Xiao, waiting for his answer. For some reason, he felt nervous.

"So the immortals here want to stay away from the mortal world on their own will, while some immortals want to get closer but are forced to stop..." Xiao murmured to himself.

"Ok?"

"An immortal wouldn't make any difference if I became one. I still prefer the mortal world." Xiao brushed off the food crumbs on his body.

President Qiao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "What an interesting answer."

While eating sweets, Xiao suddenly remembered an important thing and immediately asked, "When will Jiang Qiu go out to hunt spirit beasts?"

"You still want to go even though you're in this condition?" President Qiao raised his eyebrows.

"I'm fine, really." Xiao looked serious.

President Qiao looked at Xiao's features and finally sighed.

"Okay, I'll go ask."

President Qiao activated the communication stone, and after talking to the other party for a while, he said to Xiao: "The action was originally scheduled to take place after sunrise, but since you are coming, they postponed it to the afternoon."

"No need to postpone, I've almost recovered now." Xiao said as he stood up.

"Don't worry." President Qiao smiled and said, "Someone will definitely come to see you later. You don't want them to be disappointed, do you? You also know that you haven't fully recovered yet. It's good to rest for half a day."

“……” Xiao was silent.

President Qiao took out a pile of messy food and put it on the table.

"I've left all my things here. I have other things to deal with, so I won't disturb your rest."

After President Qiao left, "Xiao" couldn't help but complain: "What a mess you have in your head. Why are you so sad for no reason? It's like you have schizophrenia."

"Be more confident, remove the word "\u0027as if\u0027", isn't what you said the truth?" Xiao asked back.

"..."

“Xiao”: That makes a lot of sense.

"Do you want to share more?" There was a hint of threat in Xiao's tone.

"I don't want to. I've heard a saying that it's very difficult to reconcile with oneself, so you are enough." Xiao answered immediately.

"Xiao" snorted and said, "What do you mean by reconciling with yourself? Have I ever made things difficult for you? Or do you dislike me?"

"No……"

Relying on his experience of helping relatives take care of kids in his previous life, Xiao finally coaxed Xiao into submission.

Not long after, someone came to see him. It was his opponent on the field, and Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were not afraid to approach him because of his performance.

His three roommates also came, but they didn't care about him because he looked fine. They all regretted missing a good show because of oversleeping, and Xiao also told them about his whereabouts for the next period of time.

As for why they have time to come… they just finished their exams, so it’s normal to have a holiday.

What Xiao didn't expect was that the dean also came. The principal's bloodline suppression of students frightened him so much that he sat upright the whole time, and "Xiao" even laughed at him for a while.

After lunch, Xiao rushed to the agreed meeting place.

(PS: I will return to school tomorrow, so I will probably miss it)
