founder

Except for a few girls who had the habit of carrying chocolate jelly beans and other snacks with them, most of the dozen or so students didn’t drink a drop of water. The intense physical exertion made them even more hungry and dizzy.Wipe off the hot sweat from the stinging eyes, lick dry lips, gradually lost direction and lost.

When the deafening sound of a bulldozer came from the forest, everyone stopped in their tracks, showing desperate expressions, "It's over!"

Billowing dust.

The sound of "rumbling" came from all directions. They staggered backwards, their legs were so weak that they tripped over their own disobedient feet. In the dust-filled field of vision, an astonishing number of huge adult vines surrounded them. ...

Meeting on a narrow road, the female voice screamed straight into the sky!

"Help ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Lu Hanshuang, who was flying over the forest, paused at his feet, and turned the point of his sword downward.

Xia Gan was also shocked that the vines were knotted and rioted collectively!

The land collapsed in front of them, the students panicked, the girls with poor endurance cried and screamed, the boys took up the courage to pick up stones and break branches to fight back, although it was useless, no one could shoot these weird copper-skinned iron bones before. plant!

The students had no choice but to flee.

The encirclement keeps shrinking, and all you can see are weird plants, slapping the ground with vines and stirring up the soil.

The long loess flying up blocked the vision, they were coughing and coughing, weeping and embracing each other so scared that they dared not open their eyes.Someone accidentally slipped into a pit, grabbed the hem of his trousers that was within reach, and pulled his companion to reveal his underpants. He shouted "help" and "help" hoarsely, making Lu Hanshuang's brain ache!

"Quiet." A voice came from above.

Countless green vines dragged the students' feet, legs, waists and necks into the pit. The students were so frightened that they screamed and struggled, but they didn't hear clearly.

Lu Hanshuang frowned, jumped down in the air, raised his hand to catch the falling iron sword, his wrist trembled, the unattractive sword body shone slightly, as if a pearl was washing the dust, and the sharp edge containing spiritual power pierced his backhand, and the faint blue sword energy streaked across, Piercing Xia Gan's head was crisp and neat.

Doutou shot green plant juice onto his face, and the vines that tightened his neck retreated quickly, the boy whose face was purple and almost suffocated was stunned!

Lu Hanshuang turned around and raised his arms to sweep across, and the vines that were stripping his trouser legs, belt, and hair were chopped off one by one. The pain made Xia Gan roll, twitch, and twist all over.

In the panic, most people didn't notice Lu Hanshuang falling from the sky.

As the dust cleared, the students looked at the suddenly extra young man wearing a hat, wondering where he came from?A boy rubbed his neck panting heavily to adjust his breathing. He looked at the young man and felt a little familiar. He saw the green juice dripping from the long sword in his hand and stepped forward to thank him.

Lu Hanshuang didn't understand foreign languages, and didn't care what he said. His eyes swept over a dozen young men and women, and stopped on two yellow-skinned oriental girls.

He asked one of the little girls who were staring at him intently, "Chinese?"

The petite and beautiful girl shook her head violently, and said in stumbling Chinese, "South, South Asians, can I, can I follow you?"

Lu Hanshuang simply nodded to express understanding, but did not reply.

The girl thought it was her acquiescence, so she smiled sweetly, pushed her hair behind her ears shyly and timidly, and leaned forward to grab this oriental man who seemed to have a high force value and a sense of security.

It's a pity that Lu Hanshuang didn't understand the amorous feelings, so she turned around and dodged, looking at another tall and dazed girl, "What about you?"

The only Huaxia female college student who noticed the young man stepping on the sword and flying down came back to her senses.She had already given up hope of escaping, but she didn't expect a turn of events. The heavenly master nodded her head and said incoherently in a dream, "Mm, um, it's me, I, I'm from Huaxia."

Lu Hanshuang nodded, his eyes gliding over the girl's frail body, guessing that it would be impossible to leave with a sword without training, so after a little thought, he raised his head and asked, "Do you want to leave?"

The female student nodded sharply.

Lu Hanshuang frowned, a little troublesome.The female student's heart trembled, thinking that he was just being polite, and she was slightly disappointed.

"If you're busy, forget it, I—" Qian Rang hadn't finished speaking, and the world suddenly turned around!

She hurriedly hugged something to borrow strength, touched a piece of skin as cool as jade, her fingers trembled in shock, raised her head and met a pair of light-colored eyes, her eyes were cold, as if wrapped in boundless ice and snow for a moment, she hurriedly let go Hands, the whole person loses weight and falls to the side.

held by a broad hand.

The young man hung down the face that was hidden by the brim of the hat, which made people hardly dare to look at it, and said indifferently, "Don't move."

Heart shaking.The female student came back to her senses and looked around with ambiguous and joking eyes, only to realize that she was hugged horizontally by the mysterious young man.

The South Asian girl envied the Chinese female student's success in being favored by an expert. Several foreign boys approached the mysterious Oriental youth, wanting to discuss following him out of the forest. go up!

Unbelievably, the sword and the man did not fall according to the gravity of the earth. Instead, because of the tiptoes of the young man, he lifted the tip of the sword obliquely and flew into the sky.

"OM Gooooooooooo!"

"I finally remembered who he is! The mysterious oriental bodyguard in "Outsiders"!"

"Don't go!"

"Help, help, help!"

"Please, take us away together!"

No matter how the rest of the people shouted, begged and cried, waving their arms and bouncing around in place, Lu Hanshuang remained motionless and didn't care.

But Huaxia female students have not yet learned to be cold and hard-hearted not to be moved by foreign objects. Enduring their fear of heights, they peep down from time to time on these companions who have been in trouble.Although they didn't get along very well, no one left her alone because of her inconspicuousness and delay.

"That, that, that..."

The girl faltered, Lu Hanshuang lowered her eyes, the girl trembled slightly, and she honestly shut her mouth.Lu Hanshuang glanced over the unconcealable worry on the girl's face, and lightly tapped the blade of the sword.

Looking up at the sky in shock and disappointment, the iron sword carrying the two people flying away suddenly stopped in the air. The young man above shook his hand slightly, and then stepped on the sword again to leave.

"What did he sprinkle?"

"Nothing!"

"No, no, no! There's something! Look at that—"

As the tiny, invisible bean-sized object fell, it unsealed the shrinking technique little by little, and gradually became larger until it returned to its original size when it hit the ground.It is a bag of food prepared by Lu Hanshuang for the girls, water, beef strips, compressed biscuits, canned fruit.

The people below shouted "Thank you, thank you" to the sky and rushed over, rushing to grab the food.

The girl is sensitive to discover that young people don't like to be close to others, so she tries to keep the distance between them as far as possible, and doesn't touch the young man, but that extremely lethal face and the firm and cool hands on her back make her blush uncomfortably. Face, in order to distract attention, he turned his eyes away, and found that Lu Hanshuang had been purposefully circling the forest.

"What are you looking for?"

Lu Hanshuang lowered his eyes, "Where is anyone living around here?"

The young man lowered his head, and his astonishing face approached a little more.The girl avoided it in a hurry, not daring to look directly at him. From the corner of her eye, her white chin seemed to be scalded. She licked her lips and said, "...I don't know, this forest has not yet been developed. But near where we camped, I Some traces of life have been found."

"Where is the camp?"

The sound of sinking into the bottom of the water grazed the ears.

The girl's ears were red, and she didn't dare to raise her head. She raised her arm and pointed in a distant direction.

Without the interference of seaweed, Lu Hanshuang poked out his consciousness to take a look, then retracted his gaze, and flew to the outskirts of the forest with the girl in his arms.

On the outskirts of the forest, some foreign tourists were trapped in the trial operation attractions. However, because they were approaching the base camp of the troubled plants, no matter how many calls they made, the reply from the consulate in the area was: "Please wait patiently for rescue."

The tourists were tired and hungry, and they hid in Tibet. They watched the Chinese special forces overcome obstacles, protect the Chinese tourists to hide in a safe area, and were transferred by helicopters in batches.

The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled went first, and the Chinese tourists who had just settled down in shock took the food they had allocated. They looked at the foreign tourists who looked up enviously at the bottom of the window, and felt proud of the motherland that acted quickly.

When they looked back, they inadvertently saw an object flying far away in the air. The wolf-hungry crowd coughed and poured water, and shouted excitedly and indistinctly, "Look out of the window—"

Chinese tourists who were traveling abroad and didn't understand the changes in domestic policies were all dumbfounded——

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!

What's coming? !

Among the clouds in the sky thousands of miles high? ! !

A person holding a person stepping on a sword? ! ! !

Lu Hanshuang sent the girl to the helicopter, waved his hand without a cloud, and stepped on his sword to leave.

The old man, mother, younger brother, and younger sister stared round their eyes, curiously gathered around to ask about the situation.The girl poured water fiercely and patted her feverish face, which still felt unreal like a dream.

The helicopter took the group to the port and lined up to board the rescue ship.

As soon as the girl got off the plane, she heard her boyfriend's soaring voice from a distance, which seemed sour and mean, "Wairi! Don't talk about disrupting public order, isn't it just a matter of paying a fine? Think I care about that little money! You say you Is there something wrong, if you don’t rush to save people, you have to spend energy to stop me! There are still volunteers in the rescue operation, can you just think that I am here to bring warmth to the people of the island country? It doesn’t cost you a penny!”

The girl frowned and ran over quickly.

With the booing and support of the members of the civil rescue organization, the boyfriend continued to "struggle with reason": "I am making trouble? My daughter-in-law is trapped in it, can I not be in a hurry? You call making trouble when you save your own daughter-in-law? Am I obedient and honest? Is it the behavior that a man should have, regardless of whether my wife lives or dies?"

"Sun Jibin!" The girl interrupted her stubborn boyfriend.

Sun Jibin turned around in surprise, "Tiantian, you came out? Are you injured? Are you being bullied? Hurry up, let me take a good look, you scared me to death this time!"

Sun Jibin rushed over to circle around his girlfriend, seeing that she was just a little disheartened, he was relieved, and stepped forward to hug her.

Although Sun Jibin is a jerk, with a lot of problems in personality, thinking, and consciousness, he is very obsessed with his beautiful, self-reliant and high-EQ girlfriend, and spends a lot of effort.I originally wanted to propose when she came back from this trip, but I didn't expect something unexpected.However, it is more sincere that he came to the rescue all the way.

Sun Jibin was full of confidence, winking at the people next to him!The live broadcast equipment was quickly set up, connected to the Internet, and started broadcasting.Someone released a pre-edited link for him, and countless netizens rushed to a public social account after hearing the news, clicked on the live broadcast, complained that this guy made a fuss about proposing a marriage.

Sun Jibin took out the ring box that he carried close to his body to wait for the opportunity at any time, and he knelt down on one knee under the eyes of the rescued tourists in the port and various countries.

Opening the ring box, there was a very bright and shining big diamond ring.Many women around exclaimed that romance is rich in money, but the Internet is full of sarcasm, and the only thing left with this guy is money.

Foreign journalists on board the ship also came to film the theme of "warmth in the disaster area".

Sun Jibin stammered while reciting the marriage proposal, because he was nervous and didn't notice the complicated eyes of his girlfriend.

Contains a kind of alienation and boredom.

With a trembling voice, Sun Jibin said the last sentence, "...will you marry me?"

"So be it."

The girl took a few steps away from her boyfriend, looked away, and said in a low voice, "Let's break up..."

"Break up?"

Sun Jibin was stunned, "Is it because you don't want to get married yet? I proposed too early? I, I can wait. Let's discuss it slowly. Anyway, my parents like you very much. When will..."

Sun Jibin's voice became weaker and weaker under the cold gaze cast by his girlfriend, and finally fell silent.

After a long time, he asked, "Why?"

The girl turned her head and said to her boyfriend seriously for the first time since dating, "I have never felt like this moment that it is so good to be a Chinese."

Sun Jibin was stunned, his head was in a daze, and he couldn't understand.

"I think that no one can bear the insult and contempt of one's 'mother' by one's other half."

"I..." Sun Jibin wanted to say something, remembering what he had done on the Internet, there was no room for excuse.

The girl turned and left.

Sun Jibin hurriedly got up from the ground and chased after him, just about to say that I can change it.The girlfriend turned her head, her cold gaze seemed to penetrate his thoughts, and she said, "Don't follow me."

Netizens who came to watch the show of affection across the Internet, looked at the distraught look of a public official in the live broadcast, and sighed "served it" and "deserved it".

"...I was gritting my teeth and waiting to be forced to eat dog food."

"I always thought that having no idols in front of the country was the highest state, but I didn't expect, I didn't expect that in front of the country, love is nothing!"

A group of comments about "willing to bow down", "girls are handsome" and "girlfriends are so upright", mixed with some vicious voices of well-known female fans cursing girls "Bichi" and "Biaozi", but the disharmony is very Almost submerged in the mainstream voice of "Heaven is good for reincarnation".

Countless netizens reposted the live broadcast, @使别喜欢问风的公知, "kindly" reminded them that it's time to pay attention to the backyard!

……

On the other side, Lu Hanshuang found the place the girl was pointing at. The ground was full of potholes, and he walked towards one of the fallen trees without thinking.

The trunk of the tree is broken, and it can be seen that the inside has been hollowed out, and a sword cuts it open, revealing the hidden stairs underneath.

Lu Hanshuang stepped down.

The smell of blood came.

He frowned slightly.

His vision was dim, and a cluster of flames were lit with his fingers, floating forward like will-o'-the-wisps, illuminating the shadowy underground square. Columns blocked his sight, and blood-stained empty ropes were hung on the beams, and the blood seemed to be scattered all over the ground.He lowered his head to stare for a while and then raised his head. The empty rope corresponds to the place where the blood fell, which is obviously a formation...

Fellow monks!

Lu Hanshuang unfolded his consciousness, and almost instantly there was a wind blowing from his back, he turned around and swung his sword, bang!The cold weapons collided and rubbed sparks, looked up through the bursting light, and met a pair of cold eyes.

Lu Hanshuang wanted to strike again, but the young man in the sweatshirt paused, then flew back suddenly, and opened a safe distance before saying, "A fellow?"

Lu Hanshuang didn't speak.

The young man rolled his eyes over his white temples, and withdrew his sword, "Longshan, Yuanzhen sect, ask today."

Lu Hanshuang didn't respond to his self-introduction, but frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Wen Jin smiled wryly, "Do not expose your family ugliness to the outside world."

Lu Hanshuang didn't talk nonsense, raised his sword and attacked the young man again.Asking Jin backed back again and again, rather helplessly, "It's the same way, why do you start fighting without saying a word? Well, I say that's it, stop it. In order to avoid the gang of government personnel outside, I flew across the entire sea in stealth, tired Very much."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Wen Jin smiled wryly again, "Unfortunately, a traitor came out of Shimen. There were many orphans left in the Linhu District before. He borrowed foreign residents to go through the adoption procedures to get many children, tortured to death, and wanted to refine them into corpse puppets. Shimen asked me to track them down. , followed the clues, how about you? Why are you here?"

Lu Hanshuang put down his sword, "Look for someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"A girl."

"Then you come with me, I found some clues just now." Wen Jin led Lu Hanshuang to walk in the direction where he appeared, and Lu Hanshuang followed behind, squinting slightly, first exploring the youth's inner palace, and then sliding towards the sea of ​​consciousness.Asked Jin Moji and turned his head, "Can you stop checking me with your spiritual sense, I'm so uncomfortable, what sect do you belong to, why have I never seen you before? Although the orthodoxy is now in decline, the various schools There is little contact between them, but every five or ten years, they still have meetings and blind dates to compare and compare with each other's offspring."

Lu Hanshuang followed Wen Jin to an iron gate, Wen Jin stood still, looked back at him and smiled.

Lu Hanshuang said, "The Wild School of the Mountain Gate is not worth mentioning."

Wen Jin couldn't pry his mouth open, shrugged his shoulders and turned his head, looked at the restriction on the door, and asked while trying to unseal it, "Then who is your ancestor? Seeing you make a move, I know that you have experienced many battles, and your cultivation level must not be low..."

Wen Jin was nagging, but Lu Hanshuang turned a deaf ear to it.

When he opened the restriction, he stepped forward and asked Jin to step in first.

There were corpses of children lying silently in the empty room. Lu Hanshuang lowered her eyes and walked past the corpses.Wen Jin, who followed closely behind, gasped and cursed bitterly, "How cruel! Scum! Scum!"

Lu Hanshuang continued to walk inside.

Ask Jin to follow behind and observe left and right, "They are all dead, do you want to call the police to collect the bodies?"

Lu Hanshuang didn't speak.

Just at this moment, a figure flashed outside the door, Wen Jin looked back immediately, his pupils constricted, and said angrily, "Traitor!" He stopped entangled with Lu Hanshuang, left behind a sentence of "Goodbye by fate", and hurriedly chased him out.

Lu Hanshuang waited for the sound of footsteps to go away, stopped, and spat out blood.

He has been in this world for a long time, and he has not seen an authentic Taoist priest, so his vigilance has dropped a lot.This line of work consumes a lot of energy. Wenjin's cultivation base is slightly higher than his by two small realms, and he is at the end of foundation establishment.Just now when he attacked by surprise, Lu Hanshuang's sudden attack caused a dull pain in the meridians, and resentment took advantage of the void.

Sitting cross-legged and eyes closed, the corpse in the room emitted a stench due to the hot and unventilated weather, lingering in the nose, making people slightly uncomfortable.

After a long time, Lu Hanshuang opened his eyes, stopped his gestures, got up and said, "Come out."

The corpses lay quietly all around, without any movement.

"If you don't come out, I will leave."

After Lu Hanshuang finished speaking, he turned around, keeping his word, and when he walked outside the door, the hidden girl seemed to finally understand that this person was not joking, and lifted a corpse blocking her, revealing a small body with broken clothes and bruises, shivering and curling up He stared, wide-eyed, terrified.

Lu Hanshuang looked back.

Ever since he was bitten by the villain, he became a little suspicious, "The two just now, who is doing the harm?"

The girl trembled her lips, said nothing, just stared at Lu Hanshuang with her big eyes.

"Come on!" Lu Hanshuang patted her head, stepped forward and hugged the little girl tightly.

Sighed, "You are smart."

The girl stretched out two chubby hands, tightly wrapping around Lu Hanshuang's neck.Lu Hanshuang lowered his eyes, seeing the girl's fledgling attachment, he obviously recognized him long ago, and said, "I never accept female disciples, if you want, can you come back to Lingxiao Mountain with me as a little Taoist boy?"

The girl nodded, and Lu Hanshuang hugged her and stepped on the sword to leave.

……

Huaxia's rescue was swift, and even though the number of trapped citizens was as high as tens of thousands, they still quickly evacuated the island with tourists.The citizens leave by boat, and the soldiers disembark to show the world China's "friendliness" and "humanity" and assist other countries in their rescue work.

A group of students trapped in the forest, relying on Lu Hanshuang's food, waited for a day, another day, and another day, and finally waited for the rescuers who arrived long ago, but they didn't see the familiar national emblem of their own country. The Chinese soldiers with chemical weapons who came to clean up the troubled plants were in a complicated mood.

Journalists conduct interviews with disaster-stricken tourists.

The European and American tourists who were trapped in the trial operation of the attractions did not hesitate to praise and envy.

An old lady said, "In my impression, the news always portrays Chinese people as a thug who is rude, uneducated, lacking in quality, and doesn't know how to respect others, as if all the bad qualities in the world can be found in them." The body is perfectly integrated. Of course, I do often see some uncivilized behaviors of Chinese people in tourist attractions. But I think we can't generalize."

"Today, when I was hungry and full of envy, I watched Chinese tourists being kindly taken away by their country. A Chinese person waiting in line to take the next helicopter noticed my predicament and gave me half of the food she received. At that time , the Chinese soldiers guarding the security next to me took a look at me. I thought my behavior of taking away the food caused his disgust, but I was so hungry that I couldn't bear to return the bread, so I could only silently go to the side and swallow it in shame. For a moment I wanted to cry."

"When the helicopter landed again, my companions from other countries and I watched another group of Chinese people leave soon, watched them laughing and eating, and silently dialed the number of the embassy. It was still nothing new, please wait. It was completely unexpected. Unexpectedly, when my companions and I were feeling confused and depressed, a Chinese soldier came over and called us foreign tourists to pick up food and water. I saw them move boxes of supplies for us to pick up one by one, with tears in my eyes. , I fell in love with this other country and felt envious and proud of their people."

A Chinese-American spoke without sensationalism or long speeches, simply saying, "...I am proud of the blood of Chinese people flowing in my body."

All kinds of rescue news were sent back to various countries, and everyone expressed their praise for China: friendship, strength, benevolence and righteousness.

The whole of Huaxia actually established a new image because of this rescue.

The world is in harmony.

Although I don't know how long this kind of friendship can last, it is enough to amaze the foreign media and the public who did not come to the scene in person.

The existence of Lu Hanshuang has also attracted the attention of the leaders of various countries, but except for being described by Huaxia, other countries are in a wait-and-see state.In the news pages about the rescue, Lu Hanshuang's content rarely appeared, and when it was mentioned occasionally, it was mentioned briefly, and it was referred to as mysterious person A and so on.

Only a small number of people deeply remembered this Chinese expert who could not be deduced by common sense.

Lu Hanshuang flew back to Huaxia with the girl, refused Chairman Guo's persuasion, and went straight to Luping Town.

The gate of Lingxiao Mountain was wide open, and Xiao Yan removed the blindness. After a few days of seeing each other, the mountain road changed again. The guardrails on both sides of the climbing ladder were covered with concentric locks with prayer signs. I also knew that it was Xiao Yan who made a profit-making project.

Lu Hanshuang handed the girl over to Daoist Xiaoran, and hurried to retreat to recuperate exhaustion and improve her cultivation.Encountering his fellows this time made him vigilant. Obviously, even in this plane with weak morality, his strength is far from enough.Lu Hanshuang closed her eyes and meditated, planning to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation establishment first.

Summer goes to autumn, the whole season.

Very long.

It was long enough for Xiao Yan to start making medicines by himself with the formula, master the scriptures by himself, try to walk with the help of a wall, and use Zhu Anfuli, who was anxiously waiting for his apprentice and having nothing to do, to write various news on the Xianyinzong website Among them, the chief director of "Contemporary Monk" was selected as Qi Xingbo's event, and the three-month application period for apprenticeship has ended, and the audition is going to be held.

Lu Hanshuang succeeded in hitting the realm, remembering Xiao Yan's leg problem, and left the cave.

Along the way, the inner and outer disciples of the old man who hadn't seen him for a long time were full of surprises. Lu Hanshuang nodded and walked towards Xiao Yan's yard.

A young man in a black shirt is leaning on the wall, practicing walking with small steps.Under the sun, that cold and hard face seemed to melt as the years of heart knots were resolved, and the outline was soft, although it still didn't show much emotion.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Yan raised his eyes, with a dull expression, not much surprise, just let go of the wall, and walked towards Lu Hanshuang as usual.Xiao Yan walked very slowly, but took every step very seriously.

He stood still in front of Lu Hanshuang.

Lu Hanshuang praised for the first time, "Not bad." Xiao Yan was strong in heart and tenacious in nature. Even without Lu Hanshuang's guidance, he could always do everything well by himself, which made him extremely worry-free.Of course, this idea has not stayed in my heart for a while.

Seconds, the world was spinning, and he was suddenly picked up by Xiao Yan.

"It's good."

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Hanshuang, who was not panicked in his arms, "I can hug you the other way around."

Lu Hanshuang was calm, only slightly surprised, which was a novel experience for him. He shifted his gaze slightly, spotted Xiao Yan's trembling calf, and patted Xiao Yan's arm.

"It's too early for you to bear such a heavy weight."

Xiao Yan stared deeply at Lu Hanshuang's light-colored eyes, but failed to find a trace of fluctuation in the ice and snow, turned his gaze away, and let him down.

"Since you are fine, I still need to close the gate again, and go to the first-order realm. You are fully responsible for the affairs of the door, so don't ask me."

Lu Hanshuang turned around and was about to go back to the cave, Xiao Yan stopped him and said, "I have some clues about what you asked me to inquire about earlier."

Lu Hanshuang looked back.

Xiao Yan said, "Five months later, there will be a Taoist-Buddhist exchange meeting held once every ten years, and many hidden Taoist sects will send young disciples to attend the meeting."

Lu Hanshuang nodded, "I will leave before then. During my absence, you and other disciples must practice diligently, draw Qi into the body as soon as possible, and rush to build the foundation."

Lu Hanshuang took a few steps, then paused, "Also, ask about Longshan, Yuanzhen faction, and Wenjin."

Xiao Yan nodded.
