Shaw House

A round table in the hall was full of food, but Taiyi kept poking the rice in his bowl with chopsticks, Xiao Lan put the dishes in his bowl, didn't say anything, and then ate by himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is the third cold war between the two in the past month, and the two of them originally had endless words every day, but since the news of the appearance of Emperor Fu Mubai in Lingcheng was spread all over the city, the contradiction between the two has gradually emerged.

"Senior brother, how long are you going to lock me up!" Taiyi slapped his chopsticks on the dining table and asked with a dissatisfied expression.

"It's just that you are not allowed to leave the Xiao Mansion." Xiao Lan replied slowly, this was not the first time Taiyi had questioned him, and he had answered this question more than once.

"If you can't leave the Xiao Mansion, what's the difference between being imprisoned!" Taiyi looked at Xiao Lan in a huff, since he learned that Huangfu Mubai appeared in Lingcheng, he had been thinking about the opportunity to meet the legendary Onmyoji, to be precise, it should be the legendary big monster, and after Xiao Lan learned about it, he directly did not allow him to leave the Xiao Mansion for half a step.

"At least, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you are also free in the Xiao Mansion, except for the Star Pavilion, you can go anywhere, there is still a big difference between being grounded and imprisoned." Xiao Lan put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said lightly.

"Senior brother! I just want to see it, and I won't do anything superfluous! Tai was coquettish at the beginning, he knew his senior brother's character - he ate soft and not hard.

"Do you know why the master asked you to come to me?" Xiao Lan did not refuse or agree, but asked a question.

"Let me deliver something to you." Taiyi saw that Xiao Lan completely ignored his coquettish behavior, and replied weakly.

"I believe that if I take action myself, it will be easier for you to arrest him, and then think about why the master asked you to come to me." Xiao Lan denied Taiyi's answer and stared at him quietly.

"Then I don't know, whether you let me out or not!" In the face of Xiao Lan's question, Taiyi obviously didn't have much patience to continue answering, and he asked loudly with some anger.

"It's because you're too weak." Xiao Lan's face suddenly became gloomy, "Even the master doesn't know how to improve your strength!" ”

"You talk nonsense! That's right, I admit that I'm really weaker than you now, but when I reach your age, I will definitely be able to surpass you! Taiyi was so angry by Xiao Lan's words that he jumped up from the stool.

"When I was your age, I could already help the master complete a lot of tasks, but now, you can only help him as an errand runner, and the gap between us is obvious." Xiao Lan said unceremoniously, "When you reach my current age, can you really surpass me?" Taiyi, you are not the only one who is improving. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?!" Taiyi's patience has reached its limit, he doesn't know why Xiao Lan wants to say so many irrelevant things to him, he just asked to leave the Xiao Mansion, but he was inexplicably counted.

"The master plans to hand over everything he has now to you in the future, but if your strength has not improved, even if it is handed over to you, sooner or later it will fall into Chongming's hands, the master doesn't want to see such a result, so he wants me to teach you my alchemy, now, understand?" Xiao Lan leaned over to Taiyi and said to him word by word.

"Since he wants me to teach you alchemy, and I have the intention of doing so, then your task now is only to practice behind closed doors, not to mix in things that you shouldn't be involved in at all, understand?" Before Taiyi came back to his senses, Xiao Lanyou continued to add.

"Isn't the relationship between you and the master bad, why do you listen to him so much, he said let you teach me, you will teach me......" Taiyi's voice was a lot quieter, and his anger disappeared a lot compared to before.

"First of all, he didn't ask me to teach you, but his meaning is obvious, and secondly, teaching you alchemy is a plan I have had for a long time, and it has nothing to do with him." Xiao Lan explained, "Starting tomorrow, I will come to teach you alchemy, and I will never allow you to leave Xiao Mansion for half a step until you have fully mastered it." ”

"Young Master, the old ancestor is looking for you." A subordinate walked into the lobby and said respectfully, Xiao Lan nodded, and looked at Taiyi again, "I have already said everything that should be said, you should think about whether you want to continue the cold war with me." ”

With that, Xiao Lan got up and left the lobby, while Taiyi sat quietly on the stool, with a very complicated expression on his face, and his frowns seemed to be thinking about an important matter.

Stargazing Pavilion

The simple room was full of all kinds of books, Xiao Ningqiu sat by the window lattice and looked into the distance, his palm lightly rested on the plate at his side, and from time to time he would pluck it with his fingers.

"Ancestor, are you looking for me?" Xiao Lan walked behind Xiao Ningqiu and asked respectfully.

"Can you break the spirit body of Huangfu Mubai?" Xiao Ningqiu asked without replying, "I mean, completely ruined his spirit body." ”

"Old Ancestor?!" Xiao Lan looked at the old ancestor who looked about the same age as himself with a shocked face, since he could remember, the old ancestor in his impression was a cold look, no one had ever seen him smile, let alone seen him angry, in short, he didn't feel any emotional existence in him.

Therefore, Xiao Lan has always had a sense of awe for this unfathomable ancestor, the reason why he has no feelings may be because he has lived for hundreds of years, this is the only explanation that Xiao Lan can think of, and it is this Xiao Ningqiu, for hundreds of years, he has never given any order to any descendant of the Xiao family, just living alone in the Star Gazing Pavilion, and he doesn't care about anything that happens outside.

Now, he actually planned to let himself destroy the spirit body of Huangfu Mubai! What happened between them? For the first time in hundreds of years, the ancestor actually intervened in outside affairs. Regarding the matter between Xiao Ningqiu and Huangfu Mubai and Qin Ji, Xiao Lan had heard some rumors, but he didn't know exactly what was going on, and he didn't care much about it.

But judging from Xiao Ningqiu's reaction now, the relationship between them should be far more complicated than the rumors he heard.

"With your strength, although it is a little difficult, but now he is only a spirit, neither a human nor a demon, such an existence, this world does not allow it." Xiao Ningqiu was still fiddling with the plate on his side, and his gaze was not withdrawn from a distance.

"If it is the order of the old ancestor, Xiao Lan will not hesitate, but it may take some effort, he now has a big tengu by his side, and it is not so easy to deal with." Xiao Lan bowed and said seriously.

"Don't you even ask me why I'm doing this?" Xiao Ningqiu finally retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Xiao Lan, but there was still no expression on his face, and his cold appearance even made people wonder if he had any life.

"If the ancestor wants me to know, he will tell me, if he doesn't want me to know, even if I ask, I won't get an answer, but it will annoy you, I don't want to make such a mistake." Xiao Lan said leisurely, her face full of awe.

"Let's go down." Xiao Ningqiu looked at Xiao Lan for a few seconds, waved his hand, and then looked out of the window lattice, and Xiao Lan bowed and left the Star Pavilion.

"For hundreds of years, you are probably the most like me among the descendants of ......the Xiao family," Xiao Ningqiu looked out the window and muttered to himself.
