[Rebirth] Brother, let me go to your bowl

The disappearance of Xiaobai is of course a big deal to Ye Yan.After all, he has raised this fox for so long, and he is also spiritual. Ye Yan has long stopped treating him as a spirit beast, but as a friend of his own.

...But unfortunately, this friend of his is stupid and cute, and he is born with a problem with the development of a sense of direction, and he will get lost if he changes places.

Therefore, although Ye Yan was nervous, he was not surprised.It was expected that Xiaobai would get lost, but Ye Yan would be surprised if he knew his way and didn't get lost.Moreover, there is only such a small place on Qinghuai Peak, and there are no ferocious beasts, so it is not dangerous to get lost.

However, the task of bringing the white-collar worker home in the end must still fall on Ye Yan.He sighed, asked Ming Hua for a day off, and began to search for that stupid little fox who lost his way all over the mountains and plains.

On Qinghuai Peak, with the locust tree in the middle as the boundary, to the west is the residence of Minghua and Ye Yan, and to the east is the residence of Xiao Mingzhe.Ye Yan searched the entire west side of the mountain, but did not see the little fox.His heart moved, and he thought, little fox...couldn't he run to the east?

After thinking about it for a second, he felt that this idea was [-]% correct, and then he was overjoyed that he was able to take advantage of this reason to visit Senior Brother Xiao.

Ye Yan took a deep breath, calmed down his nervous mood, and walked over to the other side of Qinghuai Peak bounded by locust trees.Although he just stepped over a non-existent boundary, it seemed that even the smell in the air was chilled.The entire east side of Qinghuai Peak has a completely different atmosphere from the west side.Ye Yan couldn't help pausing for a while, took a deep breath, and then continued to walk in, looking for his stupid and cute fox.

The woods were overcast, Ye Yan went around, but failed to find his lost fox, instead he first saw Xiao Mingzhe who was practicing his sword.It was the first time he saw Xiao Mingzhe practicing swordsmanship. Perhaps for convenience, Xiao Mingzhe was only wearing a dark coat, the front of which was mostly wet with sweat, and the sunlight left a small dark spot on his neck. A dark shadow, looking down along that shadow, you can still get a glimpse of the honey-colored skin from the man's neckline.

The sword in Xiao Mingzhe's hand is also excellent.The sword is like a swimming dragon, and with one swing, even the sunlight is broken into pieces of golden shadows, falling to the ground like snowflakes.

The forest is quiet, and the breeze and fallen leaves can be heard clearly.In such a world, there is still a little crisp sound, but it is the sound of Xiao Mingzhe dancing his sword.

The blade pierced through the air, and there was a faint sound of dragon chant.

Ye Yan stood there, watching the man's figure swaying in the forest, bringing out a series of beautiful shadows, he was a little crazy.

Xiao Mingzhe stopped for a while, took a breath, and said suddenly, "Junior Brother Ye? Come out."

"...!" Ye Yan was taken aback, but since he had been discovered, he didn't have much to say, he just scratched his head and walked out from the shadow of the woods, stood in front of Xiao Mingzhe, smiled slightly, and said, " Brother Xiao."

Xiao Mingzhe nodded, and when he looked at him, there was still a faint smile in the corner of his eyes.

After Ye Yan saluted, he asked curiously, "How did Senior Brother Xiao know it was me?"

"On Qinghuai Peak, only you will watch me practice sword again." Xiao Mingzhe responded, and changed the subject, "Is there something wrong?"

Ye Yan also realized that there were only a few people living on Qinghuai Peak.His master Minghua obviously wouldn't do such things as peeping at people practicing swords, and Zhou Zixue was even more incapable, he could almost figure it out on his knees, only he himself would stay in the corner and stare at Xiao Mingzhe.

After thinking this through, Ye Yan suddenly had a thin layer of blush on his face.If he had thought of this earlier, he wouldn't have watched Xiao Mingzhe practice his sword secretly in the corner just now, and he would have just walked out to watch, Xiao Mingzhe would not have cared about it.

It's too late to regret now, so Ye Yan could only follow Xiao Mingzhe's words and say, "I'm here to find Xiaobai."

He paused, and just about to explain who Xiao Bai was, he saw Xiao Mingzhe raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that the little fox?"

Ye Yan nodded, and asked nervously, "Senior Brother, have you seen it?"

Xiao Mingzhe didn't speak, he just walked to the side and hugged out a white ball of hair.

Mao Tuan shivered in Xiao Mingzhe's arms, as if feeling the familiar aura of Ye Yan, suddenly jumped up, jumped onto Ye Yan's shoulder, wrapped his tail around Ye Yan's neck fiercely, and lay his whole body on Ye Yan's body. On Yan, it seemed like this could make it feel more at ease.

Ye Yan was startled, touched Xiao Bai's head to comfort the little fox, and looked at Xiao Mingzhe suspiciously.

Xiao Mingzhe shook his head and said, "He ran into the master's room and was scared out."

"..."

Ye Yan was speechless. It turned out that in the final analysis, it was the fault of being stupid and getting lost.However, who is Xiao Mingzhe's master, who can scare the little fox who was born as a spirit beast into such a state?

He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't ask the question.Ye Yan changed his mind and thought of another person.

"Senior Brother Xiao, why didn't you see Zhou Zixue?" Ye Yan finally took Xiao Bai off his shoulders and put him in his arms, before asking.Because of this, he didn't notice the subtle unnaturalness in Xiao Mingzhe's eyes.

"Xijian." The expression on Xiao Mingzhe's face quickly subsided, and finally he gave Ye Yan a two-word answer.

Ye Yan stopped talking.He wanted to ask about Zhou Zixue's specific situation, but he was worried that his question would offend other people's taboos.Among the cultivation sects, there are some unique secret techniques that cannot be disclosed, and there are certain questions that cannot be asked no matter how good his relationship with Zhou Zixue and Xiao Mingzhe is.

It was Xiao Mingzhe who read his mind, sighed, and said: "He practices sword every day, starting from basic sword moves, don't worry."

"Then thank you, brother, for your advice!" Ye Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help smiling, and smiled at Xiao Mingzhe.

Xiao Mingzhe saw his smile, and unconsciously changed his taste.

The emotion in Xiao Mingzhe's eyes deepened, but Ye Yan couldn't see it after all.

Ye Yan wanted to ask a few more questions about Zhou Zixue's recent situation, but he also felt that the atmosphere was not right.Although he still didn't understand why the atmosphere was wrong, he didn't ask the next words, but just looked at Xiao Mingzhe fixedly.

Thousands of words came to my mind, but I didn't know which one to say.

Xiao Mingzhe didn't speak either, and looked at him indifferently, his black eyes were as calm as water without any hint of joy or anger.

"...It's getting late." Xiao Mingzhe suddenly closed his eyes, hiding all the turbulent emotions behind him, and said calmly, "You take it back. Elder Minghua must also be worried of."

The expression on Ye Yan's face suddenly collapsed, and it took a long time before he murmured: "Okay."

All he could say was okay.Because after finishing speaking, Xiao Mingzhe turned around and left, walking like the wind, as if he was escaping from something.

Ye Yan stared blankly at that figure, and after a long time, he sighed and left with Xiao Bai in his arms.

Xiao Bai finally recovered from the shock, bit Ye Yan's sleeve curiously, looked at him with wide eyes, as if asking: Why are you unhappy?

Ye Yan smiled wryly, not knowing how to answer.

Maybe he should be happy, after all what he once wanted was to be closer to his senior brother.As for what he should do next when he was with Xiao Mingzhe, Ye Yan never thought about it.He had secretly made such and such an oath in the hope that Xiao Mingzhe would have a better life, and that he himself... could live up to Xiao Mingzhe's wishes.

But now, something seems to be different.Something is slowly fermenting.

Ye Yan shook his head, discarding all these messy thoughts from his mind.It's just that he was hiding something in his heart, and when he finally returned to Minghua, his face didn't have the trace of joy that he had when he went out in the morning.

Minghua looked at him, put down the book in his hand, smiled politely, and asked, "How is it, have you found it?"

Ye Yan nodded, put Xiaobai down, and said, "I found it... Return it to Master, please don't bother me."

"It's okay." Minghua shook his head, looked at Xiaobai, he had a kind demeanor, and Xiaobai was not afraid of him at all, so he hesitated for a moment, and ran to him to show off his cuteness.

Ming Hua patted Xiao Bai's head, looked at Ye Yan and said, "It's not easy for you to raise this little fox."

"?" Ye Yan glanced at him suspiciously, not knowing why.

Minghua shook his head and said: "But don't worry, I'll tell you slowly after a while. Speaking of which, the Xuanshuang white fox clan also has a long history."

Ye Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that he was unknowingly carrying another big burden on his shoulders.

Ming Hua changed the subject and asked, "In the past few days, have you ever recorded all the herbs in the garden?"

As soon as he heard that it was his own homework for the school, Ye Yan immediately became serious. After thinking about it carefully, he said carefully, "I dare not say that I have written everything down, but it is probably there."

"That's good." Minghua pondered for a moment, then said, "From tomorrow on, I will teach you how to make pills."

Ye Yan's eyes lit up after hearing this.
