Chapter 436 Goodbye Xun'er
As if aware of what the three of them were thinking, Xun'er rolled her eyes helplessly, then looked at Zi Yan and Qing Lin who were sitting next to each other, slightly raised the corner of her mouth with a nice curve, and said with a half-smile. ,
"Qing Lin, Zi Yan, don't you recognize me now? We haven't seen each other for only a few years, how come you forgot about me?"
After hearing these words, Medusa immediately retracted her gaze from Xun'er, and instead cast a slightly doubtful look in the direction of Zi Yan and Qing Lin.
Qinglin and Ziyan looked at each other, and then looked at Xun'er again. The familiar feeling in their eyes became stronger and stronger. The more they looked, the more familiar they felt, as if someone deep in their memory was gradually becoming clearer.
Qing Lin, who has green snake and three-flowered pupils, is more meticulous in her observation. She first noticed the familiar outlines between Xun'er's eyebrows. There seemed to be shadows of the past hidden between those delicate eyebrows.
Then, I noticed the unique temperament around Xun'er, that noble yet fresh charm, which really seemed familiar.
And the most important thing is undoubtedly the necklace worn on Xun'er's left wrist. The necklace exudes a faint halo and has a very unique style. It instantly evokes the scene deep in Qinglin's memory, making her eyes widen. His eyes and face were full of surprise.
"Sister Xun'er, it's you!" Qing Lin's eyes suddenly burst into light, staring straight at Xun'er, her eyes filled with disbelief, her mouth slightly open, as if she still couldn't believe the scene in front of her. It's true.
Hearing that Qing Lin recognized her identity, Xun'er also nodded slightly in Qing Lin's direction, even as a greeting. The movement was elegant yet cordial, as if a spring breeze was blowing by, making people feel warmer.
When Zi Yan next to her heard Qing Lin say this name, she suddenly thought of something in her mind. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and the look she looked at Xun'er instantly matched the face in her mind. After they overlapped, they immediately recognized Xun'er's identity.
"Yeah, I was wondering why you look so familiar. It turns out it's you, Xun'er!"
Zi Yan said this, and her little face that was originally full of doubts was instantly filled with surprise. Her petite figure jumped slightly and couldn't wait to get to Xun'er's side. She looked so excited.
During the years at Canaan College, Zi Yan and Xun'er had been getting along day and night for several years.
During those days, Zi Yan not only tasted the medicinal materials carefully prepared by Xun'er from time to time, but also established a deep friendship with Xun'er and Xiao Ling in each other's company.
Therefore, the relationship between them naturally does not require too many words, and is as close as sisters.
Seeing Zi Yan's personality that was no different from a few years ago, Xun'er showed a knowing smile on her face, naturally took Zi Yan's little hand and said, "Zi Yan, you just recognized I'm coming? If it weren't for Qing Lin's reminder, I'm afraid you wouldn't recognize me..."
When Zi Yan heard Xun'er's words, she twisted her body in embarrassment, then hugged Xun'er's arm and said, "Xun'er, don't talk nonsense. How could I not recognize you? But, after all, We haven’t seen you for so many years, and you have become so much more beautiful that I didn’t recognize you for a moment.”
At this time, Qing Lin also slowly walked up to the two of them, looked at Xun'er, his eyes were full of wonder, and he couldn't help but praise,
"Sister Xun'er, what sister Zi Yan said is right. You have become more mature and beautiful now. Sister Xun'er was already stunningly beautiful. Now you are as beautiful as Qinglin has seen in so many years. The most beautiful girl.”
Xun'er also withdrew her gaze from Zi Yan and cast her eyes towards the slim Qing Lin beside her. Hearing this pleasant compliment, Xun'er unconsciously showed a soft smile on her face.
Although Xun'er has already heard many words praising her appearance, but which girl doesn't like others praising her good looks, especially hearing Qing Lin say it from someone close to Xiao Ling, it makes Xun'er feel even more happy.
"Sister Qinglin, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have grown up. Now you are even more graceful and beautiful. These words are becoming more and more beautiful. I don't know who you learned them from."
As Xun'er spoke, she slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked Qing Lin's turquoise hair. Her face was filled with a smile as warm as the sun, and her eyes revealed endless affection...
Chatting like this, the atmosphere between the three of them seemed warm and beautiful, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Medusa looked at the warm and harmonious appearance of Xun'er and the three of them, and then looked at herself standing here alone. She suddenly felt that she was out of place like an outsider. A strong urge to complain arose in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel helpless. 's rolled his eyes.
Medusa was feeling depressed, and she happened to catch a glimpse of the guard standing next to her, doing something unknown. She immediately said angrily,
"What are you still doing here? Go out and do your own thing."
There was a bit of annoyance in Medusa's tone. After hearing this, the guard was instantly frightened. He quickly bowed respectfully and then hurriedly retreated.
The guards' movements were naturally noticed by the three women who were reminiscing about the past. This made them remember that there was a Medusa standing next to them.
Immediately, the three of them stopped chatting without much delay and turned their gaze in the direction of Medusa.
There was a hint of apology in his eyes, as if he was embarrassed for ignoring Medusa just now.
Medusa felt the gazes of the three people, raised her chin slightly, and showed a faint smile on her face, as if telling them that she didn't care.
It was Xun'er who spoke first, breaking the slightly strange atmosphere. She said: "This must be the famous Queen Medusa. I have heard of your name for a long time. Today I see that she is really extraordinary and beautiful."
"Haha, this lady is joking. I am just the queen of a small tribe in a remote continent. I can't be on the stage." Medusa shook her head and said with a chuckle.
Although her words were a bit modest, her gestures still couldn't hide the queen's demeanor, and there was a hint of nobility in her eyes.
After hearing this, Xun'er just smiled faintly and didn't ask any more questions. Although she was very curious in her heart, Medusa was just the queen of the snake people, why could she reach such a level of cultivation now.
In her perception, the aura exuded by Medusa now has reached the level of an eighth-level magic beast. This speed of improvement is simply terrifying.
Moreover, not only did Queen Medusa's cultivation level improve so quickly, but she also followed Xiao Ling and the others. According to common sense, they should have no friendship.
Xun'er didn't need to think too much. She knew that Medusa's amazing change must be related to her brother Xiao Ling.
However, although Xun'er was really curious about this matter, she didn't ask directly about it.
After all, the current occasion was not appropriate. She thought that when she was free later, she could ask Zi Yan and the others, or directly ask brother Xiao Ling.
When she asked clearly at that time, she would be able to figure out what the situation was.
At this time, Xiao Ling, who had finished chatting with Xiao Diao in the room, naturally also keenly noticed the movement coming from the courtyard. He couldn't help but feel a little curious, and without hesitation, he immediately walked out of the room and came to the courtyard.
With his appearance, the originally slightly subtle atmosphere seemed to have a few different changes, and everyone's eyes were cast towards him.
Xiao Ling glanced casually and saw the people talking in the courtyard. But the next second, his eyes were instantly fixed on the beautiful figure in green, and he could not move away at all.
The familiar figure, the cold and indifferent temperament, even if it was just a silhouette, made his heart ripple. The bits and pieces of the past interactions instantly came to his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, full of surprise.
"Long time no see, Xun'er, see you again." Xiao Ling raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of tenderness and joy, and said softly to Xun'er.
Those words seemed to contain endless thoughts and concerns, and they floated gently towards Xun'er with the breeze, as if to convey the joy of the long-lost reunion to her heart.
"Yes, Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er and Brother Xiao Ling have agreed before that Xun'er will accompany Brother Xiao Ling in this alchemy meeting."
Xun'er smiled gently, and that smile was like the most beautiful flowers blooming in spring, bright and moving. She stretched out her slender fingers and swept a few strands of hair in front of her forehead behind her ears, showing her gentleness and cuteness.
At this time, the breeze blew gently, like a gentle hand, gently touching her blue hem and the waterfall-like hair.
The hem danced lightly with the wind, and the hair flew in the air, and every strand seemed to tell of agility and softness. The whole person standing there was like a beautiful painting, exuding a unique charm that made people unable to look away, as if all the beauty in the world was condensed in her.
Xiao Ling took a few steps quickly and came to Xun'er in the blink of an eye. He stared at the pair of eyes that had always been watching him tenderly, and felt a warm current in his heart, which instantly spread to his whole body.
Immediately, he couldn't help but stretch out his arms and gently embraced the beautiful figure in front of him, as if he wanted to pass on all his thoughts of these days to her through this hug.
Xun'er was slightly startled, and then a blush appeared on her face. She also snuggled into Xiao Ling's arms. The breeze blew gently, as if she was cheering for this reunion...
Zi Yan and the other two girls on the side knew more or less about the close relationship between Xun'er and Xiao Ling, so when they saw the two reacting like this, they didn't show any surprise.
Zi Yan saw the scene of the two hugging each other so tightly, and couldn't help but curl her lips, and then turned her eyes to the side, as if she felt that it was better to be out of sight, so as not to be disturbed by this disgusting scene.
Qing Lin looked at the two people hugging each other, with envy on his face. Her eyes sparkled, as if she was deeply infected by the beautiful atmosphere. There was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked innocent and moving.
Although she had become Xiao Ling's woman, Qing Lin had never had the slightest possessiveness towards Xiao Ling from beginning to end, because her body and mind had already belonged to Xiao Ling completely. For the deep feelings between Xiao Ling and Xun'er, she only had sincere blessings from the bottom of her heart.
But Queen Medusa felt a sour feeling inexplicably in her heart, and it was very unpleasant. However, she still maintained herself well on the surface, without showing any strange expression.
On that delicate face, the expression was as calm as water, as if nothing had happened. But in the depths of those slightly flickering eyes, there seemed to be some complex and incomprehensible emotions, which made it difficult to grasp.
After a long time, the two people who were hugging each other slowly separated. At that moment, it seemed that time slowed down for their warmth.
The two people's eyes met, full of attachment and reluctance, as if they wanted to deeply engrave each other's appearance in their hearts.
The breeze blew gently, blowing their hair, and also blowing the unspeakable feelings in their hearts.
Xiao Ling's face approached Xun'er, kissed her lips gently, and then gently separated. Then, he naturally took Xun'er's slender hand.
Xun'er also obediently hugged Xiao Ling's arm and gently leaned her head on Xiao Ling's shoulder. Her movements were gentle and intimate, as if this was the most natural thing in the world.
The slightly closed eyes, the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a happy smile on the corner of the mouth, and the whole person exuded a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.
"Xun'er, this should be your first time in Shengdan City. I'll accompany you to have a good walk. It's rare for you to come out once." Xiao Ling turned his head to look at Xun'er beside him, stroking the smooth jade hand in his hand, and said with a chuckle.
"Indeed, this is Xun'er's first time in Shengdan City. Since Brother Xiao Ling is accompanying Xun'er, it can't be better."
Xun'er was slightly stunned, squinted her eyes, and then nodded very obediently. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a silver bell. The slightly raised corners of her mouth were accompanied by a sweet smile, and her eyes were full of expectation and joy.
"In that case, it really couldn't be better. Now that the Dan Conference will be held tomorrow, Shengdan City is the most lively moment at this moment." Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, first nodded slightly to Zi Yan and the other two, as a greeting, and then held Xun'er's slender jade hand tightly, and walked out of the courtyard.
Xun'er followed Xiao Ling obediently, and gently shook her hand, as if responding to Xiao Ling's enthusiasm. Then, she turned slightly and waved her other free hand in the direction of Zi Yan and the others, as a farewell greeting.
In the blink of an eye, the two figures walked out of the courtyard. Only Zi Yan and the other two were left, quietly watching the two figures who had just left.
"Zi Yan, this is Miss Xun'er you mentioned to me before. She is indeed a wonderful woman. Such a beauty is rare in the secular world. And I can faintly feel a sense of danger from her. I guess her cultivation should not be simple." Medusa slowly retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes, and asked Zi Yan beside her.
"Yes, Xun'er and Xiao Ling lived in the same family since childhood, and then entered Canaan College together. They were childhood sweethearts. At the beginning, her identity seemed to be a member of the Xiao family, but later it seemed that she returned to her own family."
"Although I don't know the specific background of that girl now, I think it must be very mysterious. According to my speculation, it should not be inferior to our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan." Zi Yan nodded and responded to Medusa.
"Sister Xiao Yixian and I mentioned this matter to Master Xiao Ling before, but the master never answered this question directly every time, but just said that Sister Xun'er's origin is very mysterious, and when the time is right, we will naturally know." Qinglin heard the conversation between the two and interrupted.
Hearing the two people's words, Medusa's eyes flickered slightly, as if thoughts were surging in them.
"A young lady from Zhongzhou? Childhood sweethearts, it's a bit tricky, but I won't admit defeat..."
Now, Xiao Ling's face alone makes him well-known in Shengdan City. Wherever he goes, he seems to shine with his own light, and naturally attracts the attention of countless people.
In addition, Xun'er has such a stunning face. If she walks side by side with Xiao Ling, basically everyone on the street will look at them. Everyone's eyes are on them, and under such circumstances, the two people's experience of playing is naturally not very good.
So, after being keenly aware of such a little inconvenience, Xiao Ling immediately used the means of Huanmeng Lingying, weaving some exquisite illusions, quietly covering up the whereabouts of the two.
In this way, the embarrassing situation that attracted much attention before was finally alleviated, and Xiao Ling and Xun'er could feel more comfortable and relaxed, and continue to stroll leisurely in the streets and alleys of Shengdan City, enjoying their comfortable time.
They walked side by side, sometimes stopping to admire the small gadgets on the street, and sometimes talking softly with smiles on their faces. At this moment, it seemed as if time had gone back, and they returned to the time when they were in the small Wutan City. At that time, they were carefree and only had each other in their eyes.
Now, in this bustling Shengdan City, they have found the tranquility and beauty again, as if the surrounding noise has nothing to do with them, and they are immersed in a world that belongs only to them.
Xiao Ling looked at the beautiful figure beside him, and his heart was full of emotion. Today's Xun'er has changed a lot compared to when she was a child. She has become more graceful and her temperament has become more ethereal and unworldly.
However, the tenderness and attachment in the eyes looking at him have never changed.
"Xun'er, it's great to have you." Xiao Ling's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but speak.
Xun'er blushed slightly when she heard Xiao Ling's straightforward words, but she looked directly into Xiao Ling's eyes and said softly, "Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er will always be with you..."
