In Xiaoqian's puzzled and somewhat dull gaze, Jiang Xiaobai went out in a dashing manner.

Half an hour later, Jiang Xiaobai found a Qingqing steamed bun shop near Shenghua Market in the northern district of Yanjing City.

At this moment, a middle-aged man of medium stature, with a slightly fat body, who looked ordinary, was meeting in front of the case, and when he saw a guest coming, he hurriedly greeted him immediately.

There were a lot of guests eating breakfast in the house, and the two waiters were very busy.

"Learn from me to sell steamed buns, do you worship me like that?" Jiang Xiaobai touched his chin, looking a little proud, and then walked straight towards the Qingqing steamed bun shop.

"Come on, come on, please inside!" the middle-aged man greeted habitually, but when he saw Jiang Xiaobai, his expression couldn't help but froze, and then his eyes lit up, and he smiled, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you?"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "Not yet." ”

"Then a top-notch deer linmon soup dumpling?"

"Yes. ”

"Inside please. The middle-aged man invited Jiang Xiaobai in.

Jiang Xiaobai entered the store, and next to the middle-aged man, the young man who was making steamed buns asked curiously, "Master, do you know each other?"

"Sort of. The middle-aged man answered, then stopped what he was doing, he washed his hands, selected a soup bag that he was most satisfied with, and filled a bowl of millet porridge, plus a plate of small pickles, and then personally sent it to Jiang Xiaobai.

"Slow to use. ”

"Thank you. ”

Jiang Xiaobai began to enjoy this delicious breakfast.

And the middle-aged man continued to make steamed buns with noodles, looking as if nothing had happened.

Next to the middle-aged man, his apprentice asked again, "Master, who is this handsome guy, and his identity doesn't seem to be simple?"

The middle-aged man glared at him, and the young man stuck out his tongue and didn't ask any more questions.

Jiang Xiaobai finished eating, walked out of the store, and left without even looking at the middle-aged man.

Next to the middle-aged man, the young man looked stunned: "Master, is this? He just left, without saying hello or giving money?"

"Then how can it be done, there must be an explanation for not giving money. You watch first, and I'll chase him. The middle-aged man washed his hands unhurriedly, took off his waist and chased after him.

The young man looked sluggish, completely unable to understand what play his master was singing.

On the top of the high-rise building, Jiang Xiaobai stood with his hands in his hands, silently overlooking the bustling streets, where people came and went.

"It tastes good, right?" As a voice sounded, it was the middle-aged man who sold steamed buns who walked over, and then stood side by side with Jiang Xiaobai.

"Pretty good. The meat is really delicious. Jiang Xiaobai said.

"That's from Lao Mu, he has a lot of good goods. The middle-aged man said.

After a short silence between the two, Jiang Xiaobai asked, "How have you been all these years?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "Away from fighting and killing, licking blood from the knife, life is not a leisurely and comfortable life, but this is not the life I should expect after all." It's been silent for too long, and it's inevitable that I'm a little bored. Seeing you today, I think this kind of day has finally come to an end. ”

Jiang Xiaobai sighed: "I didn't expect that ten years have passed since this moment, have you ever regretted it?"

"Do we have the right to regret it?" the middle-aged man laughed at himself, and then said with a straight face, "Although we are not good people, we will never break our promises, not to mention that our lives are yours, what is it to wait for ten or twenty years." ”

"It seems that I made the right choice. Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and then asked, "Are the others okay?"

"Although everyone is hidden in all walks of life, their cultivation has not been left behind, especially Lao Mu's kid, I am afraid that it is not far from a breakthrough. When the middle-aged man said this, his eyes showed a little envy.

"The small hidden in the wilderness, the big hidden in the city, the ordinary life of the past ten years, the same impact and tempering of the state of mind, the end of the law era, the recovery of heaven and earth, your breakthrough, is just a matter of time. ”

"It turns out that the era of the end of the Dharma is over, so it's no wonder that I feel that the bottleneck of cultivation that has been immovable for a long time is slowly starting to loosen. "As a member of the ancient martial arts world, the middle-aged man has also heard of the legends of the end of the law era.

"A few days ago, you made a lot of noise in the God of War Research Institute, and you defeated Pang Tao in one move, to be honest, not only me, everyone was blindsided after knowing the news. It's ridiculous to think about what we did back then. Before, Lao Mu also threatened to talk to you after the breakthrough, but since that day, he has completely lost his temper. Is it an official announcement of your return to such a high-profile and gorgeous appearance?

"It's very well-informed, it seems that you are really good at finding someone. You don't have to gather, but you can warm up everyone. I'm here for you today because there's something you need to do. ”

"Oh?" the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, as if he had won the jackpot, and he couldn't wait to say, "It's right to leave something to me, and I promise to complete the task." ”

Jiang Xiaobai took out a photo and handed it to the middle-aged man, it was Guo Lin's photo.

The middle-aged man took the photo and looked at it, and said in a deep voice: "This is the chief scientist Guo Lin, didn't it mean that she was buried under the nuclear bomb, didn't she die?"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the middle-aged man deeply, it seems that he is not only a man who sells steamed buns, but also pays attention to major events in the world.

"She really didn't die, Pang Tao secretly took her to the southeast, but she didn't know where to hide. ”

"You're not going to let me save her, are you?"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "If you feel confident, I don't object." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head again and again, and said decisively: "After all, it is Pang Tao's lair, even if Pang Tao doesn't make a move, it is impossible for me alone." But just finding her place can be done. ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "That's enough." As soon as you find her, I'll do it as fast as I can. I'll take care of the rest. ”

The middle-aged man was slightly silent and said, "It is estimated that it will take two days to travel, and it may take three days to find her, so let's give me five days." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, put your own safety first. Jiang Xiaobai instructed.

"Don't worry. What killers do best is act in the shadows. The middle-aged man said proudly.

After discussing some specific matters, the two left separately.

In front of the Qingqing bun shop, the middle-aged man came back, but he didn't mean to put on a scarf and continue to make faces.

"Master, why have you been gone for so long and haven't caught up with that man?" the young man asked.

The middle-aged man didn't answer directly, but looked at the young man and said, "Xiaodong, how many years have you been with Master?"

The young man was slightly stunned and said, "It's been almost ten years." ”

"yes, it's been almost ten years. The middle-aged man sighed, "You were just a little kid at the beginning, but now you've grown into a young man." It's almost time to start a family. ”

The young man was a little embarrassed, blushed slightly and said, "Master, why are you suddenly mentioning this?"

"Master wants to say that the Qingqing steamed bun shop will be handed over to you to take care of in the future. Remember Master's words, customer first, quality first, you can't bury the craftsmanship that Master has passed on to you. ”

"Ahh

"yes, because the person I'm waiting for has arrived. The middle-aged man then touched the young man's head, "Don't worry, Master is not coming back, call me if there is anything." ”

The young man took the opportunity to ask, "What are you going to do?"

The middle-aged man let out a long sigh, his eyes deepened a little, he looked at the Layton light curtain in the sky, and then looked at the young man and said solemnly: "This world, after all, needs Master to save it." ”

The middle-aged man patted the young man on the shoulder, and then walked away.

Staring at the back of the little fortune, at this moment in the eyes of the young man is unprecedentedly tall and majestic, the young man's nose is sore, his eyes are red, and his tears are shining.

He waved his hand at the back figure and whispered, "Master, when you get well, you must come back as soon as possible." ”

In a trance, I don't know if it's an illusion, he seems to see the burly figure and can't help but stumble.

The snow was white, the night was heavy, and on the top of the mountain peak, Jiang Xiaobai leaned on the vast expanse, drunk alone in the cold wind.

This is no longer Yanjing City, there is no protection of the Thunder Shield System, in the open world, looking back, the superelectronic light curtain glowing with white light, it seems that it is difficult to tell whether it is guardianship or imprisonment.

The more wine is drunk, the more sober people become, running around for love, lonely in a lifetime, watching the ups and downs of prosperity several times, and where is the person in his heart now?

After taking a sip of wine, Jiang Xiaobai's expression moved, and he sighed helplessly: "You're finally here!"

Jiang Xiaobai understood that he had fallen into an illusion, but he did not break free.

The wind passed without a trace, the snow fell silently, and in the dark night, only the sound of heavy footsteps gradually approached.

Finally, a figure appeared behind Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai got up silently and faced the visitor.

The person who came was shrouded in black robes, and it was the supreme martial artist who appeared in Shiyun Mountain that day and was good at spiritual attacks.

"Is that you?"

For a while, Jiang Xiaobai's thoughts floated, his heart fluctuated, he slowly stretched out his hand and took off the wide hat.

Then, he saw the person he was thinking about.

"It's really you, Sunset. Jiang Xiaobai's body trembled, and then he stretched out his arms and hugged the person in front of him tightly.

"You don't want to ask me why I'm here?" said Sunset calmly with a look of joy or sadness.

"None of this matters, I just want to see you. ”

"Even if it's a dream?"

"If it's all a dream, then I hope never to wake up. ”

Xiji was silent, and it wasn't until Jiang Xiaobai let her go that she spoke again: "You shouldn't have me in your heart." ”

Jiang Xiaobai's heart was full of bitterness, even though he had a thousand words, he didn't know what to say at the moment.

"Actually, I really don't want to believe that all this is true, how I want you to be unbound by the outside world and be your true self. Jiang Xiaobai stared at the sunset and said.

"Since you are born in the world, you should always face reality. Xiji said lightly.

"So should I face the reality that you've come to kill me?"
