Volume 1: The Beauty That Causes Trouble Chapter 24: Drastic Change (Part 3)

Xiao Lie originally had great expectations for the people from the Xiao Sect. The son of the Xiao Sect's leader must be a figure like a dragon in the sky.

But when I saw it, I was disappointed. He did not see the aura, demeanor, self-cultivation, and appropriate arrogance that a direct descendant of a large sect should have. Instead, he only saw the arrogance and the uncomfortable evil in his eyes, just like a person who grew up in a world of pampering and flattery. Dandy boy. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt relieved... After all, it was impossible for the Xiao Sect to pay attention to this small Xiao Clan, so how could they really send any "big shot" here. The status of a "son of the sect leader" only superficially shows the importance he attaches to the dead Xiao Zheng.

"Dad, I just heard they said that you and the sect master went to meet the Xiao Sect's people, and you came back so soon?" Xiao Lingxi happened to come over to deliver Xiao Lie's meal, and asked curiously: "The Xiao Sect's people Are they here yet? What do they look like? Are they particularly scary?"

Xiao Lingxi's words reminded him of the old man following Xiao Kuangyun, and he nodded: "The people of the Xiao Sect are of course unfathomable. However, Xi'er, during these few days when the Xiao Sect's people are here, you should try your best to Don't come into contact with them. The young man who takes the lead is not a kind person. If you can, avoid it."

"Ah?" Xiao Lingxi blinked her eyes in confusion, and then nodded gently: "I know, dad, I was actually a little afraid of them. After all, they are from the Xiao Sect, so they must be super. Super awesome.”

"Even if you are curious, try not to get close to them." Xiao Lie warned again, took a breath, and walked into the courtyard with a heavy heart.

"Dad? Do you look worried? Has something special happened?" Xiao Lingxi could tell at a glance that Xiao Lie was worried about his father-in-law, No Ruonu, and asked nervously.

Xiao Lie was startled, then shook his head: "It's nothing..." After a pause, he thought that if he didn't say it, this delicate daughter might not feel at ease all day long, so he could only say slowly: "Xiao Sect When they came here, they brought a gift called 'Tongxuan Powder'. I heard from Xiao Kuangyun that this Tongxuan Powder has a very good effect on repairing damaged profound veins, so..."

"Ah! Can damaged profound veins be repaired? Really?" Before Xiao Lie finished speaking, Xiao Lingxi exclaimed excitedly, and her two little hands suddenly clenched the corners of her clothes. Repairing Xiao Che's profound veins has always been her greatest wish. In the past few years, she and Xiao Lie have been working hard to find various possible methods. Xiao Lie's words were like the sound of heaven to her.

"The effects of Xiao Sect's elixirs are by no means comparable to those of ordinary elixirs, and they may indeed have miraculous effects." At this point, Xiao Lie's expression slowly dimmed: "It's just that the main function of Tongxuan Powder is for a certain period of time. Speed ​​up the practice of Xuan within. Now, the sect masters regard this 'Tongxuan Powder' as a treasure, and they have little hope of using it on Che'er, who is useless in their eyes. "

Xiao Lingxi's expression froze. Xiao Lie's words were like a basin of cold water that wiped out all her excitement. She bit her lip and said resolutely: "No matter what method we use, we must win over Tongxuan Powder. Xiao Lingxi. Che is not useless! He is the one who needs Tongxuan Powder the most!"

"I will try my best to fight for it." Looking at his daughter's expression, Xiao Lie let out a long sigh. But I know very well in my heart how small the hope of winning over Tongxuan San is... or in other words, it is simply impossible.

……………………

Night falls.

"I met Xiao Kuangyun of Xiao Sect today."

The room was dimly lit by candlelight. Xia Qingyue sat beside the bed and spoke calmly.

"Oh... what kind of person is he?" Xiao Che yawned and asked casually, looking unconcerned.

"A person lives up to his name." Thinking of the way Xiao Kuangyun looked at her, Xia Qingyue frowned slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. Her master had told her that among the four sons of the Xiao Sect's leader, the other three could be regarded as dragons among men. Only this fourth son was a complete idiot, but he was the most favored by the leader. Maybe it was because of this. He is the youngest and the only son born to the main wife.

"It's normal. Anyone sent by the Xiao Sect to this place will know who they are just by thinking about it. But anyway, it won't hinder me. At most, I can just follow him for a formality tomorrow." Xiao Che shrugged He shrugged his shoulders and said, then suddenly his brows moved, his face became slightly serious, he raised his head and asked, "Qingyue, my wife, you said you saw him? So did he also see you?"

"That's right...what?" Xia Qingyue looked sideways.

Xiao Che raised his hand and tapped his chin, and suddenly said: "You said before that he is a guy with a very bad reputation. This kind of guy... Phew, Qingyue wife, if I guessed correctly, your master should be in Liuyun City. Nearby?"

"...How do you know?" A trace of surprise flashed across Xia Qingyue's face.

Xiao Che did not explain, but said seriously: "In this case, find a way to contact your master and ask her to come to this place tomorrow..." After thinking about it, his expression became relaxed again: "Since you If the master is nearby, then it’s probably no big deal. Go to sleep.”

Xia Qingyue raised her slender eyebrows slightly and thought carefully for a while. Then she thought about the way Xiao Kuangyun looked at her in the afternoon, and finally understood the meaning of Xiao Che's words. Her expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to pinch her waist. An ice-shaped transmission note.

Seeing Xiao Che arranging the blankets spread out in the corner, her eyes swayed slightly and her lips moved several times before she finally said, "Go to bed and sleep."

"Ah?" Xiao Che turned around, widened his eyes and said, "Wife Qingyue, what did you say?"

Xia Qingyue turned her face away, not letting him see her expression at this time, and said coldly: "Forget it if you didn't hear it!"

"I heard it! How could I not hear it!" Xiao Che nodded quickly like a chicken pecking rice, threw away the blanket in his hand, quickly jumped on the bed, and looked at Xia Qingyue with a smile: "Qingyue wife, today Will you sleep inside or outside?"

"..." Xia Qingyue said nothing, and with a wave of her snowy hand, she extinguished all the red candles in an instant. The room suddenly became dark, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She stretched out her hand to push Xiao Che inside, pulled the blanket over the two of them, lay down with her back to Xiao Che, and said in a cold voice: "Don't think about it. Too much, I just want you to help me take care of myself at three in the morning...Don't do anything you shouldn't do! Otherwise, I won't let you sleep in the bed again!"

"I obey, dear wife!" Xiao Che pulled the quilt, sniffed the lingering girl's body fragrance on it, and said happily.

Now she is called "wife" by Xiao Che dozens of times a day. From the initial irritation, now it not only sounds very natural, but also gives her an indescribable feeling of "I am his wife". This subtle change made her panic and even more confused. She closed her eyes and tried not to think about the things that disturbed her mood. It didn't take long before she fell into a peaceful sleep.

The time unknowingly reached three o'clock in the morning, which is the darkest period before dawn. The entire Xiao Clan was quiet, and only the occasional buzzing of mosquitoes could be heard.

In the darkness, a slight "squeak" sound came from Xiao Lingxi's yard. The closed door slowly opened with the sound, and a petite black figure slowly poked out. After looking around for a while, , quickly rushed out.

Before the black shadow's body could step out of the door, a tall gray figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of her. A girl's exclamation rang out, followed by a serious voice that tried to keep down: "Xi'er, so... Late, where are you going?”

"Ah! Old...father!" The frightened black shadow pulled down the scarf on his face, revealing a charming face of a girl, none other than Xiao Lingxi. Looking at Xiao Lie who suddenly appeared in front of her, she panicked for a moment: "I...I...I..."

"Alas!" Xiao Lie let out a long sigh and whispered: "Xi'er, you are going to steal Tongxuan Powder, right?"

"I...I..." Xiao Lingxi lowered her head and hesitated.

"You are my biological daughter. Can I still not know what you are thinking?" Xiao Che sighed again and patted his daughter on the shoulder: "When you left me in the afternoon, I felt that you There's something wrong with your eyes, so I don't worry about coming here to guard you... Sure enough, you have the intention of stealing the Tongxuan Powder... Xi'er, you are really fooling around. Do you know how dangerous it is? That Tongxuan Powder is not ordinary? It is a gift from the Xiao Sect. If your whereabouts are discovered, it will cause trouble on the Xiao Sect. Then the four people from the Xiao Sect will punish you. Don’t talk about me. In Liuyun City, , no one can save you."

Xiao Lingxi lowered her head and bit her lip: "I...I know all this. But...but...Xiao Che is so pitiful. He is obviously so good, but he has always been laughed at and looked down upon. Treated as trash by everyone, if he can repair his profound veins, then he will no longer be laughed at and will not be worse than anyone else..."

Xiao Lie opened his mouth, and the sad expression flashed across his face.

"I often wonder why it was Xiao Che who lost his profound veins and not me... This world is so unfair to him... Dad, do you know? Whenever I see Xiao Che being laughed at , how sad was my heart when he pretended not to care and comforted me... If his profound veins could be repaired, I would be a thief... Even if I was punished with death, I would still Hundreds of willing..."

As she spoke, Xiao Lingxi's eyes were filled with tears. She covered her cheeks with her hands and finally couldn't help sobbing.

Xiao Lie's face was violently moved, and looking at his crying daughter, he felt sad in his heart. He comforted him softly: "Xi'er, I know you are wholeheartedly for Che'er, but regardless of the consequences of what you did, Xiao Yunhai did not give the box of Tongxuan Powder to anyone after he got it. He should have kept it with him. With your ability, how could you possibly steal something from Xiao Yunhai? Be obedient and go back to sleep. I will try my best to find a solution regarding Tongxuan Powder. Although I have not fought for anything in these years, here I am. The Xiao Clan finally still has a certain say. The matter of obtaining Tongxuan Powder is not hopeless. You can't do such stupid things in the future. If something happens to you... who will take care of you in the future. And protect Che’er?”

Xiao Lie's last words lightly hit Xiao Lingxi's soft heart, causing her to suddenly feel scared... Yes! What should Xiao Che do if I don't succeed and get caught and get severely punished...

"I...I know." Xiao Lingxi took off the black clothes on her body, threw them aside, wiped away the tears on her face, and said with a guilty look on her face: "Dad, I'm sorry, I did something stupid again to worry you. . I will go to bed now and stop doing this... Dad, you should go back and rest soon... I promise not to steal Tongxuan Powder again."

"Haha, just listen." Xiao Lie nodded and smiled gently. But before leaving, he still picked up the black clothes on the ground and took them away.
