Useless

"

"It's not like that." Xia Yi lowered his head and observed the ground behind him, "I marked it with fluorescent powder all the way, if I turn around, I should see it."

"Could it be a blindfold?" Wen Renyu turned around holding the flashlight.

"The fluorescent powder is mixed with talisman ash, so it will not be affected by blinding spells under normal circumstances." Xia Yi folded his arms and stared at the gray slate under the beam of the flashlight, "But since this is the land of Yuansha, maybe the interference will be more serious. Powerful. I’ll try to see if I can crack it, it’s no different from anyone else, please help me be vigilant.”

Xia Yi clasped his hands together, and held a Taiqing Gargling Talisman in his palm. As the spell sounded, the talisman paper was gradually burned to ashes by the melting blue spiritual fire, and the unburnt part rested softly on his fingertips, like a baby. Feathers on the belly of a bird.Xia Yi closed his eyes and concentrated, preparing to finish the rest of the mantra at once.

"Too high-ranking star, constantly responding to changes. Exorcising evil spirits, protecting life and body. Wisdom is clear and pure, and the heart-uh!"

The sudden sadness pierced his chest like a sharp sword, Xia Yi was caught off guard, tears filled his eyes.He tried hard to open his eyes, and through the hazy tears, he saw Cui Ling'er's lifeless little body lying in the palm of his hand.

Xia Yi vaguely felt a little strange, but tears gushed out of his eyes like a bank, and dropped on Cui Ling'er's still bright feathers, which looked like brightly colored gemstones when illuminated by the bright sunlight.He carefully held Cui Ling'er's already stiff body, and walked slowly home along the corner of the wall, fiddled with its small eyes closed under the long eyebrow feathers from time to time, hoping that some miracle would happen, Cui Ling'er would be like Sing to him as usual and play with him.

A bright shadow suddenly passed by the corner of his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, a bird with majestic eyebrows and feathers landed lightly on the hand of a strange young man wearing sunglasses at the corner.

"Cui Ling'er?" He immediately shook his head, and the cold Cui Ling'er lay in his hands, reminding him over and over again of the cruel fact that he had lost the last gift from his biological mother.He couldn't help sobbing loudly again.

"Child, whose family are you from? Why are you crying?"

"Woo...my bird is dead..." Xia Yi raised his head, and the strange young man with the bird on his shoulder was looking at him gently.

The young man knelt down and stroked his hair lightly: "Stop crying, show me the bird, okay?"

Xia Yi sobbed and handed Cui Ling'er to the young man.

The young man checked it over and over for a while, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Did this bird eat something by mistake?"

"Yes, yes, I, I told it not to eat the fruit on that tree, but it wouldn't listen... Woohoo, I can't catch up with it..."

The young man sighed: "Sorry, I have been poisoned for too long, and there is nothing I can do."

Xia Yi sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

"This... this bird insists on eating fruit. It's not your fault if you can't catch up." The young man was at a loss and wanted to pull Xia Yize up, but Xia Yi twisted around like a loach to catch Can't stop, "Oh, you child, why are you crying if it's not your fault?"

"Mom, Mom must say I'm incompetent, I can't take good care of Cui Ling'er and still manage to bring it out, woo woo woo woo woo woo woo!!"

"This... well, it makes sense." The young man thought for a while, then took off the bird on his shoulder and presented it to Xia Yize, "I think this bird is quite similar to Cui Ling'er, or I can give it to Xia Yize." You, I might as well help you out."

"It's different, Cui Ling'er is different, woo woo woo!!"

"Oh, then I can't help it." The young man sighed helplessly, propped his knees and prepared to get up, "You don't want to forget it."

A small hand grabbed the young man's skirt, Xia Yi looked at the young man with tears in his eyes, and whispered: "... Yes." Then he asked, "Then... will it be like Cui Ling'er? , will die if you are not careful?"

"No, this is a bionic bird that can accompany you for a long time, for a lifetime."

Xia Yi widened his eyes in surprise: "Really? But I think it is exactly the same as the real thing! What is the bionic bird? Why is it so powerful?"

"Bionic and bionic, no matter how real it seems, it can't compare to the real..." The young man shook his head slightly, "Bionic is a very profound knowledge, you will know it when you grow up."

Xia Yi sniffled, staring eagerly at the bionic bird in the young man's hand.

The young man smiled: "My bird is very precious, so I can't give it to you for nothing. If you really want it, you have to agree to one condition first."

Xia Yi pursed her lips and thought for a while: "Then, tell me what it is first, then I will know whether I should promise you or not."

"Ha, a small child is smart and interesting." The young man withdrew his smile, and looked at Xia Yize seriously, "You are still young, and the only thing you have to protect is your favorite pet, but when you grow up, You will meet a lot of people you want to protect, just crying is not enough, what will you do then?"

"Well... Mom and Dad are very powerful, with them, nothing will happen." Xia Yi bit her lip.

"Then what if your parents meet someone more powerful?"

"...Then... In that case..." Xia Yi's expression collapsed, "I don't know what to do, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!""

"So, a man is indomitable, he needs to study hard and have a skill."

"Study? Then... can I learn from you?"

The young man was stunned: "Learn from me?"

"That's right!" Xia Yi wiped away tears, "I want to be a big, big bird that can fly high and fast. If bad guys come, I will take my parents and fly away on a big bird!"

The young man smiled softly: "Then it's settled. You are also a little man, so don't go back on your word."

"Who will regret it? Just watch it, I will definitely make it for you to see—you have to teach me—"

Unexpectedly, the young man just shook his head: "I just passed by by chance, so I can't stay long. If you are really interested in bionics, you have to study hard, and when you go to university in the future, someone will teach you."

"But... I don't even know my brother's name. If I want to repay you in the future, where should I find you?"

"I won't tell you, the secret." The young man took Xia Yize's hand and hooked his fingers together, "We will meet again if we are destined, but now, this is a little secret between us, so we can't tell it."

Chapter 40

Unable to withstand Huyan Caiwei's repeated "invitations" and threats, Xie Yi half-pushed and left Northern Xinjiang with her to teach at the Mechanical Department of Imperial University.Ye Kun, on the other hand, led some personnel from the investigation bureau to investigate in the Wuyanjialan area.

"Actually, there is one thing I have never understood." On the train to the imperial capital, Xie Yi watched the scenery outside the window while chatting with Huyan Caiwei. game?"

Huyan Caiwei stirred the coffee in hand with lowered eyes, and looked at Xie Yi after hearing the words: "What? You think we are idlers, don't you?"

He has been with Huyan Caiwei for several months, and he is considered a half acquaintance, so Xie Yi nodded generously: "Yes."

"What do you know?" Huyan Caiwei didn't bother to talk too much, "I think you've lost your mind by studying outside."

"Really? Do you want to take it out for you to identify?"

"...Xie Yi, your jokes are not in tune with others." Huyan Caiwei said, "I really want to identify whether you are an alien creature."

Xie Yi spread his hands, expressing that he is independent and unique, and his nature is hard to change.

The two watched the scenery for a while, and Huyan Caiwei suddenly said: "By the way, my subordinates reported that they still haven't found your family. Did you remember it wrong because you haven't come back for a long time?"

Xie Yi was silent for a while: "No."

"That's weird. There's no reason why a family like yours can't be found."

Knowing that Huyan Caiwei has never dispelled his doubts about him, Xie Yi decided to tell the truth: "They are not in the country."

"Not here?! Didn't you say that you and your family got separated in Wuyanjialan?"

"Sorry, I just... don't want to mention this matter." Xie Yi lowered his eyes, his smile became bitter, "I didn't agree with them, so I ran out alone."

"It's...it's okay," Huyan Caiwei patted Xie Yi's hand on the table, "It's the day when the family will always have a misunderstanding, so don't be too sad."

Xie Yi only sighed.

Huyan Caiwei consciously said something wrong, holding the coffee cup and didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, Xie Yi was stunned for a while, and then started chatting with her casually: "Hey, do the professors at Imperial University have to work overtime?"

Huyan Caiwei was taken aback for a moment: "To be reasonable, is there any decent high-paying job in this world that has more vacations than university professors?"

"...It's not that I don't understand the market, I'm afraid I'll just lie on someone else's chopping board and count the money for you."

"cut."

"You said a lot of holidays, how many are there specifically, is it enough—"

"not enough!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Yi's expression froze all of a sudden: "Really?! Then I won't go."

"Hey, hey, I'm joking! Why can't you understand?"

Xie Yi laughed immediately: "I was joking too!"

"What are you so concerned about doing on vacation?"

"Oh, I am a person who likes to travel, and I don't like being tied down in one place."

"This year? Touring mountains and rivers?" Huyan Caiwei looked at him incredulously, "I don't know when and where the fight will start, where are you going to play? I don't want the professor I recommended He just resigned due to an accidental death."

"Maybe you study bionics outside of your regular job, so I'm not allowed to be interested in mysterious culture?" Xie Yi lost his mouth for a moment, coughing to cover it up, "Hey, traveling in mountains and rivers, cultivating one's character, workaholics like you don't understand."

Huyan Caiwei keenly captured Xie Yi's
