Black bricks, white walls, and green trees seem to be common to all courtyards, and Li Lunming's small courtyard is no exception. It's just that the tree grows in the center of the yard, covering the whole yard, and only one place can shine in the warm sunlight. The place where the sun reaches is the hall opposite the courtyard door, on which there is a small table of tea sets, Li Lunming is sitting in front of it, washing tea and preparing drinks, humble and polite.

He prepared just right, because Xia Xiao and the three of them were already outside the door. Seeing that Xia Xiao was unharmed and his skin did not leave a burn scar, Li Lunming breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Xiao was on the right, taking the second daughter to salute outside the hall. Li Lunming said that he could come in, and then asked how the injury was?

Xia Xiao was in a daze for half a month, and his breath disappeared as usual, as if hidden under the protection of the gods. But he lay in his hut every day, and his recovery from his injuries was quite good.

"It's not a big deal, the manic power in the body is also very stable, but it is very slow to absorb. ”

In his sleep, Xia Xiao still felt a blazing heat all over his body, but when he woke up, except for a few burn scars that were not obvious, everything else was the same as before. For Xia Xiao, this is already the favor of the heavens, otherwise disfigurement is possible. Appearance is important, but he didn't think about it at the time, but fortunately, this not handsome face remains the same.

"That's not a rush, but I'll have to tell you what's next. ”

Pouring three cups of tea, Li Lunming said:

"This time, I am also in danger, and you all know the situation of Hu Bugui's predecessors, so for the next period of time, I am responsible for your practice, I believe that you all have the guidance and bamboo slips left by your predecessors, so you can practice according to the plan given on it. My task is mainly to supervise and test, because I am entrusted by my seniors, so it will be very strict, and you have to prepare in advance. ”

"There are seniors. ”

"Don't be so polite, this is a letter from my seniors. ”

Li Lunming spread out the letter and handed it out to Xia Xiao with both hands. There is only one sentence on the letter - I will give it to you, but the weight in it is heavier than a thousand words.

"I will not disappoint the high hopes of my predecessors, and I hope you will also work hard. ”

The three of them nodded, but when Xia Xiao took out the bamboo slip, the word on it made Li Lunming's face bitter.

"Senior, what do you think this word means?"

"I'm afraid it's for you to stabilize your current state and cultivation speed. ”

Li Lunming didn't say much, when he received the letter from Xiaoran, he knew that his predecessors still left bamboo slips, so he asked a few words, knowing that there was a plan for cultivation. But in Xia Xiao's bamboo slips, only one word was written, which made it difficult for him to guess the intention, and it was not easy to talk nonsense at will, for fear of disturbing Xia Xiao's cultivation rhythm.

"Ah Candle, your bamboo slips are like this?"

Ah Candle shook his head, and Li Lunming was relieved.

"Yours special, I'm afraid the seniors also saw it, so I want you to plan it yourself. Of course, if you want me to help, you can. ”

"Don't bother the seniors, I can arrange it. ”

"Okay, then we'll go back and forth together. ”

Li Lunming raised his glass and drank a cup of tea with the three of them. With the tea in their stomachs, the story between them officially begins.

I don't know if Hu Bugui knows Li Lunming's intentions, or if his strength is enough to deal with the problems that Xia Xiao will face in the future, but Li Lunming finally understands one of his wishes, and has one more opportunity to get along with Xia Xiao and understand him. Then he will naturally not be polite, and he will not be stingy with his wisdom to push Xia Xiao forward.

Although a particular instructor is changing all the time, but there is not much difference in the spiritual life, every episode in the practice changes the excitement of the story. Even if Xia Xiao likes to be bland, as long as he leaves the academy, there is nothing elegant to speak of, either thrilling or desperate. Now, this kind of thing continues, but it is dull in the present and lively in the future.

"Compared with Hu Bugui's predecessors, I still have a lot of shortcomings, and I hope to take care of it more. If I have done something wrong, please say it clearly, and don't hide it. Even though we are teachers and students, we can also become friends. Don't look at me as if I'm in the prime of life, but I'm not as good as you in many places, so in terms of cultivation, I'll take you forward. In other respects, don't forget to remind me and let me correct it in time. ”

Li Lunming's humility made Xia Xiao and the others a little unexpected, but he immediately said:

"Although I am not as good as my predecessors, I have also thought about you during this time. ”

Li Lunming looked at Xia Xiao, and when he looked at him, the latter had an ominous premonition and was a little flattered.

"Hotstar can increase the flow of fire and transform Scourge. The Cold Star will definitely also be able to improve your water movement and make your water spirit beast stronger. So I want to ask your opinion, if you want to improve your water line like a wood line and fire line, we can go to the nine-story forest tower again. ”

"I'm afraid they won't agree. ”

"I'll get them to agree if you want to. ”

Li Lunming is very confident, sitting in this position, how can he do it without any ability? Although violence is not advocated, he has many other ways to make the Nine-Story Senran Pagoda cooperate with him. Whether it is the output of elixir or the accumulation of popularity, which one of the colleges is not stronger than the nine-story Senran Tower?

Just like Li Lunming said, as long as Xia Xiao thought about it, Li Lunming could immediately set off with his things. But Xia Xiao didn't hesitate much, then shook his head and said:

"Senior, forget it. My water spirit beast is shy by nature, and I can't even grasp the power of Shui Xing itself, and if I contaminate other powers, I am afraid it will backfire. ”

Although it was a pity, Xia Xiao was reluctant to force Xiao Yu as he thought before. If Xia Xiao only had one contract beast, he would definitely discuss with him and let him accept stronger power, so as to make himself stronger. But in addition to whispering, he also has a sentence of calamity and golden spirit beasts, he does not lack that strength, and he doesn't have to be so ruthless.

Xia Xiao can endure hardships, but it doesn't mean that he likes to let the people around him accompany him to endure hardships. He has endured, or experienced, hardships, and does not like to let others go through it again, especially those close to him. Although he looks cold, the tenderness in his heart makes him feel very distressed.

Li Lunming probably understood, and then nodded, indicating that he would not mention this matter again. Li Lunming has reached middle age, and his face no longer has the spirit of youth, but he is still interested in recording the detailed strength of the three of them, preparing to test it in half a month. Before Xia Xiao left, he promised to investigate one thing when he got rid of Li Lunming. Subsequently, Xia Xiao finally ushered in his favorite peaceful time.

He was in a good mood and went back to the dormitory to pack his things. Every time he fell asleep, it was like leaving the world, and when he returned, everything seemed like a long time ago, but the things in the room reminded him of those memories.

While wiping the ashes with a rag, Xia Xiao chanted:

"You don't have to clean up so much in the future, make yourself easier, you are my companion, not a subordinate, you can do a lot of work if you want to, and don't do it if you don't want to. And if it's too clean, it will lose a little bit of fun to wipe off the dust. ”

Xiao Ran didn't really understand it, but she remembered that Xia Xiao had cleaned the room with Shu Shuang before, so she understood why.

Human beings have a shorter life than wild beasts, and although they can improve their strength faster, they not only know how to enjoy the results, but also attach great importance to the process. In a way, the process is more important than the result. Just like the ash on the furniture, it must be wiped clean, but how to wipe it and who to wipe it with is the most important thing. Then looking at the tidy room together and feeling a sense of accomplishment is what most people look forward to.

Leaning against the door, Xiao Ran watched Xia Xiao pack up his things for a while, and said softly:

"I went to practice. ”

"Okay, come on. ”

Xiao Ran gradually understood what kind of way Xia Xiao liked to get along, it was naturally not good to stick to him all the time, but to do his own thing, and just show up when he needed it. Saying this about Xia Xiao seems that he is very selfish, but Xia Xiao is indeed like this, unless he takes the initiative to stick to a person, no one else will always follow him, after all, not everyone is like Shu Shuang, who is an ideal in the world, and can follow his own mind to the greatest extent, like a doppelganger of himself.
