Chapter 35: Bright Moon
Xiao Family, Xiao Bai's courtyard.
There is a thick golden fire peach tree in the courtyard. It is the season for golden fire peach trees to bloom. When this peach tree blooms, the center of the petals is pink, and the edges of the petals are a circle of gold. Therefore, it is highly ornamental and is deeply loved by wealthy families.
There is a stone table under the peach tree. At this moment, a pot of clear tea is placed on the stone table. The fragrance of tea is curling and refreshing.
A handsome young man is sitting next to the stone table. He is holding an ancient book in his hand and reading it carefully. The golden and red petals occasionally fall with the wind and fall on the boy's clothes.
Xiao Bai hasn't been so relaxed for almost three months.
Since the first pill was successfully refined, Xiao Bai has not used all his energy on refining pills day and night like before.
Instead, he refines pills during the day and practices Dou Qi and soul at night, and refines the few Ice Flame Thunder in his body.
Finally, he got it all done yesterday, and his cultivation level has reached the eight-star Dou Shi.
In a few days, he will set off with Yao Lao, and today he is going to relax for a day.
The way of cultivation is to alternate between tension and relaxation. Xiao Bai doesn't want to make himself like a puppet who only knows how to cultivate. Occasionally relaxing is more conducive to cultivation.
The ancient book in his hand was taken from Xun'er. The little girl often holds a book when she has time. After seeing this, Xiao Bai also borrowed a few books from her. These are some books about common sense of cultivation.
For him who has no teacher, these books are also his teachers, which can broaden his horizons and make him clearer about his own law and his own way.
"Dong, Dong, Dong"
there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
"Come in! The door is not closed,"
Xiao Bai said without raising his head. Through soul induction, he knew who was outside the courtyard.
Sure enough, a beautiful figure pushed the door in.
After Xiao Xun'er came in, she saw the picturesque scene in the courtyard. There was a moment of obsession in her eyes, and then she joked playfully.
"Brother Xiao Bai, you finally don't live in the mountains anymore"
"Girl, I finally get a day to relax, and you come to tease your brother Xiao Bai"
Xiao Bai put down the ancient book in his hand, raised his head, looked at the smiling girl not far away with a gentle look, and waved at her.
"Hmph, who told Brother Xiao Bai to disappear for almost three months? If I didn't know you were still in the back mountain, Xun'er would have posted a missing person notice"
Xiao Xun'er came to sit next to Xiao Bai and snorted coquettishly.
Since she met Xiao Bai, she had never not seen Xiao Bai for such a long time. She knew that Xiao Bai was in the back mountain.
But she never went to find Xiao Bai, fearing that he had some secrets that were inconvenient for her to know, so she had been holding back.
Xiao Bai understood why she didn't go to find him. Although the girl next to him was young, she was worthy of being from a big family. She was knowledgeable and knew how to advance and retreat. It was very relaxing to get along with her, like a spring breeze.
"Okay, don't be angry, little girl. Brother Xiao Bai will accompany you these days, okay?" Xiao Bai looked at Xun'er who was pretending to be angry, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, laughing softly.
It was rare to see this girl throwing a tantrum, and she looked very cute at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's originally stern face immediately smiled, took the teacup, and immediately said:
"This is what Brother Xiao Bai said himself, Xun'er didn't force you!"
"Hehe~" Xiao Bai smiled dotingly, scratched her upturned nose, and said nothing.
"Brother Xiao Bai, are you leaving in a few days?" Xiao Xun'er narrowed her eyes. She was originally very happy, but suddenly she seemed to think of something and said softly with a little reluctance.
She felt that Brother Xiao Bai was so busy in the past year that it took her a long time to see him. It was not like when they were children, when they could see each other every day and stay together at any time.
Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, she thought that this day would not come until she grew up, but this day came too fast, so fast that she was a little caught off guard.
She was mature and sensible since she was a child, but now she is only fourteen years old. When she came to the Xiao family as a child, she was also ignorant. Since she became sensible, she has not experienced joys and sorrows, and she felt a little sad for a while.
Is this the price of growing up?
Xiao Xun'er thought silently for a while.
Xiao Bai saw that her mood was suddenly a little low, as if he knew what she was thinking, and he was also a little silent in his heart.
He couldn't help but sigh, touched her little head, and said softly:
"I will be away for a while, and I will be back soon. The bright moon is my heart, and the breeze is my mind. If you miss Brother Xiao Bai, just look at the bright moon in the sky and feel the breeze in the mountains. They can represent Brother Xiao Bai, okay?"
Xiao Xun'er couldn't help it anymore, and threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
After a long time, she nodded in his arms and replied softly, "Yeah!"
Xiao Bai gently hugged the delicate body in his arms, without saying anything else, just holding her quietly.
"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, you finally came down from the mountain?"
A full of energy and a little bit of a mean voice interrupted the silence in the yard.
A young man in black walked into the yard directly. After seeing the scene in the yard, he was stunned at first, then his eyes turned, and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly:
"Hey, where is my brother Bai, why is he not at home, hey! Brother Bai is also careless, he left the door wide open when he was not at home!"
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to run.
After hearing the noise, Xiao Xun'er got up from Xiao Bai's arms, calmly returned to the stone bench next to her, picked up the tea and took a sip. She looked calm, but there was a faint blush on her face.
Xiao Bai rolled his eyes and saw Xiao Yan who had already run to the door, and said:
"Come back!"
Xiao Yan stopped, but did not turn around. Instead, he stood there for a while, looked around, but did not look back, and said in confusion: "Hey! I seem to hear the voice of my dear Brother Bai, but I don't see anyone. It must be an illusion... illusion!"
He nodded affirmatively while speaking, and then walked out step by step calmly.
"If you take another step forward, you will die!" Xiao Bai said indifferently.
Xiao Yan seemed to be cast a spell of immobilization. He stood there without turning back. He stretched out his hand and said to the ring on his hand:
"Huh? I heard Brother Bai's voice again. Teacher, is it because I have been practicing too much recently that I have hallucinations?"
Yao Lao in the ring was a little speechless. He had watched Xiao Yan grow up since he was a child and had been with him for several months. He really didn't know that his disciple had such a talent. He was simply a drama queen.
"Hehe~"
Hearing the low and cold laughter coming from behind, Xiao Yan shuddered. He knew that he would be beaten if he continued to act. He turned around and laughed exaggeratedly:
"Oh! Isn't this my dear Brother Bai? Sorry, sorry, I have been practicing too much recently and I feel dizzy. I didn't see anything just now!"
