Tang Lin never expected that Xiao Zibai, who was lowering his head and seemed to be meditating, would actually raise his head at this moment, and the look in his eyes didn't have time to converge at all, and completely fell into Xiao Zibai's eyes.

Just a second ago, Tang Lin was still thinking proudly and sadly: The child has really grown up.

At this moment, Xiao Zibai is no longer the child he remembers, he is completely a handsome teenager, which makes him not only feel a sense of satisfaction with honor, but also has to be sad to realize that Xiao Zibai's growth process has been completely missed by him in his cultivation.

He looked at Xiao Zibai a little greedily, as if he wanted to make up for all the time he hadn't been with him at this moment.

Xiao Zibai stood not far in front of Tang Lin with his sword in his hand, the sunlight hitting the side of his face, causing his eyelashes to cast a faint shadow under his eyelids. The sword he held in his arms was extremely thin, almost transparent in the sunlight, but it was not as dark as his skin color.

From a distance, this young man is like ice and jade, even his lips are a little jade-clear, his long ink-like hair is sprinkled down the back of his shoulders, and the satin is scattered, as the plain robe flies in the wind, he just stands, he is a jade man who is out of the dust, but his expression has a sharp look that jade must not have, sharper than the sword he holds in his arms.

When he raised his head without warning, Tang Lin, who had been indulging in his demeanor, had no time to restrain the look in his eyes. Fortunately, his brain turned quickly, and the next moment he hooked his lips with a smile, and greeted Xiao Zibai lazily: "Yo, Xiao Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xiao Zibai glanced at Tang Lin, and then at the big bird on his shoulder, and felt a little puzzled: obviously he should have noticed the ball first, but why did he only seem to see Tang Lin at that moment just now? He frowned, defining this strange situation as "Tang Lin is too hateful, so he unconsciously attracted his attention".

Tang Lin didn't give him a chance to continue thinking, he raised his arm slightly, controlled the Hua Yu Big Bird on his shoulder and jumped onto his arm, and stretched his arm in front of Xiao Zibai: "Come, say hello to your little friend." ”

Tang Lin immersed his consciousness into the bird's body, and whispered to Xiao Zibai with joy, and did not forget to raise the paw in the middle and shake it at the child.

Xiao Zibai was stunned for a moment, and then glared at Tang Lin angrily: "What did you do to Tuanzi?" Why would he listen to you? ”

"What did I do? I didn't do anything. Tang Lin said slowly, then withdrew his arm and slowly stroked the smooth feather behind his bird body in front of Xiao Zibai: "He is my spiritual pet, who will he listen to if he doesn't listen to me?" Do I listen to you? You didn't make a contract with him. ”

Xiao Zibai's eye knives began to shoot one after another again, poking Tang Lin a little uncomfortable all over his body: "Obviously, you are taking advantage of people's danger." He said hatefully, then stretched out his arms and called to Tang Lin's bird body: "Tuanzi, come here." ”

Tang Lin was embarrassed for a moment, and after seeing the soft look in Xiao Zibai's eyes, he immediately put aside the useless thing of "his own dignity", and happily plunged into Xiao Zibai's arms, only separating a glimmer of mind to control his person, raising his arm to reveal a stiff expression.

Then he saw from the eyes of his human body that Xiao Zibai, who was holding the "dumpling", raised his eyebrows at him, revealing a triumphant and provocative look.

…… Oops, why do you feel that the atmosphere of this kind of scumbag is getting stronger and stronger?

Tang Lin in Xiao Zibai's arms couldn't help but stiffen, Xiao Zibai felt that the bird in his arms was not in the right state, and after weighing the weight of the big bird in his arms, he suddenly glared at Tang Lin and said, "You bastard!" Actually abused the dango! ”

"Huh? I abuse ......" Tang Lin, who was completely dumbfounded, easily swallowed the word "myself" on the side of his mouth, and looked at Xiao Zibai incredulously: "What are you talking nonsense, how can I abuse my spiritual pet?" ”

Xiao Zibai hugged the big bird in his arms tightly, and said indignantly: "You still say that there is no abuse!" Dango is now several times lighter than when we were separated from me! ”

Tang Lin: ......

, he forgot once again that the big bird was still a piece of wood in essence......

Enduring the pain of constantly inserting knives into himself, Tang Lin said solemnly: "Light? You say he's light now? I'll be honest with you, his current weight is the standard weight! He raised his leg and took a step forward, stared at Xiao Zibai with blazing eyes, raised his chin and asked him, "You said it yourself, what did you give him some food at the beginning?" ”

"It's nothing more than fruits, jerky, and the like." Xiao Zibai frowned and said, Tang Lin, who knew how he would answer, immediately slapped his face and said loudly: "That's because of this!" Did you know that obesity is also a disease? ”

"Jerky is rich in a lot of protein, and fruits contain a lot of sugar, and excessive intake of protein and sugar will lead to obesity!"

Tang Lin tried hard to recall the contents of those healthy chicken soup and weight loss tips, and fooled Xiao Zibai sternly: "Obesity is not only a disease, but it can also lead to a series of complications!" Including diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, metabolic disorders, endocrine abnormalities...... Especially as a bird, it's too fat to fly! Being fat is not a good thing at all! You don't know anything and you're feeding ......."

He glanced at Xiao Zibai with his eyes open, and snorted coldly, and the unfinished meaning in his words made Xiao Zibai afraid for a while.

Originally, Xiao Zibai didn't believe him very much, but as Tang Lin Zhenzhen said a lot of words that he had never heard of, and remembered the identity of the other party's disciple of the Heavenly Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect of the Imperial Beast Sect, he couldn't help but believe him two or three points. With these two or three points of belief, it is enough to make Xiao Zibai feel guilty about the group.

He silently stroked the thin feathers on the neck of the "dango", and his eyes were full of guilt as he stared at the "dango". Tang Lin saw that he was combing "himself", and hurriedly transferred his main consciousness to the bird's body, squinting his eyes and enjoying Xiao Zibai's service. He was being rubbed comfortably, and suddenly heard Xiao Zibai above his head whispering to him:

"I'm sorry, Tuanzi, I didn't know you couldn't eat too fat, I really thought it was a good thing to be fat......" The hand touching the side of his neck stopped, Xiao Zibai said slightly sluggishly: "...... Don't be mad at me, I really didn't mean to......"

This sentence faintly had a bit of a trill, Tang Lin's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but remember that when the two met, the child's clear ribs were countable, and regret and shame were suddenly intertwined in the bottom of his heart. He chirped in a low voice, spread his left wing, patted Xiao Zibai's shoulder soothingly, and then raised his head and skillfully rubbed Xiao Zibai's cheek.

Xiao Zibai hooked his lips, and the ice on his face turned into water in an instant, rippling warmly, and he couldn't see half of the coldness and indifference in front of others.

He hugged Tang Lin carefully, and even unconsciously brought a faint smile in his tone: "Tuanzi, you are so good." Xiao Zibai said sincerely, and even rubbed Tang Lin's head with his chin, completely unaware that the two Ling Shan disciples in the bushes who were peeping over here had dropped their jaws in shock.

Shao Ying and Shao Jie are a pair of brothers, and their parents died when they were three or six years old, and they lived a difficult life without food and clothing. Fortunately, with the help of the elders of the Lingshan Sword Sect who were wandering outside, he brought him back to the sect and became an outer disciple, so he finally had a place to stay.

The qualifications of the two of them are not top-notch, but they are better at hard work, and after working hard for more than ten years, they finally built a foundation and got rid of the life of the lowest-level outer sect qi cultivation disciples.

I thought that I could finally raise my eyebrows after building the foundation, but in the end I found that I just jumped from a larger circle to a smaller circle. Although the level of the circle is different, and the people in the circle are also different, it seems that the identity seems to be a little noble, but they are just fish in the same lake.

The outer disciples will always be the outer disciples, and the carp will never become a dragon.

The status of the outer disciples in the Lingshan Sword Sect is not very high, basically everyone has the status of a miscellaneous servant or a person in charge, and the ones they receive from the sect every month are not all spirit stones, most of them are mixed with a large amount of gold and silver property. The attitude of the Lingshan Sword Sect towards them was already obvious: you are not really cultivators, so you can serve the sect for a while with peace of mind, and then go back to the world comfortably to live your own happy life.

Some people accept their fate, honestly become a screw of the Lingshan Sword Sect, work diligently in their posts for decades, and then retire with peace of mind, and return to the mortal world to live a slightly longer than mortal, but still limited.

And there are always others who don't accept their fate, and Shao Ying and Shao Jie brothers are one of them.

I have seen the magnificence of the cultivation world, the long life span of cultivators, and the strong ** technique of moving mountains and reclamation...... The two of them didn't want to admit that they weren't the material for cultivating truth. The thought that one day they would return to the mortal realm, to spend their lives in the camp like those mortals who were as small as ants in their eyes, felt a visceral fear.

Rather than die in obscurity as mortals, they would rather fight.

There are always outer disciples who will enter the inner gate, why can't that person be them?

Thinking like this, Shao Ying and Shao Jie found a stout thigh for themselves - at least they thought it was a thick thigh: there was a nameless "senior brother" Fang Honglang in the inner door.

However, even if they made up their minds to sell themselves, they still couldn't get ahead in the end. As the "senior brother" in the first-class sect of the cultivation realm, Fang Honglang's side is very surrounded by a group of doglegs, Shao Ying and Shao Jie are not his most confidants, nor are they his most useful, let alone the highest cultivation. Even if he is a dogleg, Shao Ying and Shao Jie are only two very inconspicuous doglegs around Fang Honglang, and they don't get the slightest attention at all.

Shao Ying and Shao Jie realized that if they kept maintaining their current state, they would probably not be able to wait for the change they wanted for the rest of their lives.

They needed an opportunity for Fang Honglang to notice their opportunity.

For example, the sudden head disciple who Fang Honglang didn't like from the beginning, Xiao Zibai, who didn't have any forces behind him.

*

In fact, Tang Lin didn't notice the sneaky Shao Ying and Shao Jie next to him at first, for him, Xiao Zibai was much more important than the few people next to him who didn't know what to say. But they can't stand the fact that two unknown people appear around them again and again, not only thinking that they are always not far from them, but also always looking at themselves with that kind of malicious gaze.

The clay man still has three points of earthiness, not to mention that Tang Lin is not a clay man, the reason why he has not had a seizure is just because he is here to be the Lingshan Sword Sect and the sect of the cultivator, and he is not a demon to fight the wind and rain here.

- This is Xiao Zibai's home field, not his.

But it's really annoying to be watched like this all the time! The wind element kept muttering in his ear that there was a situation, so that he couldn't even enjoy Xiao Zibai's loving hair! After becoming a demon clan, Tang Lin, who had an extremely sensitive perception, was a little upset.

Probably because the frequent distraction of the ball in his arms was seen by Xiao Zibai, Xiao Zibai suddenly stopped what he was saying. When Tang Lin looked at him suspiciously, Xiao Zibai did not show the little loss in his heart, but rubbed Tang Lin's head pretended to be nothing, and asked him softly, "What's the matter?" It seems that I am suddenly a little absent-minded, is it that I have said too much......"

…… Annoying you?

Tang Lin hurriedly shook his head vigorously when he heard this, he hesitated for a while, and finally patted the back of Xiao Zibai's hand with the tips of his wings, and then raised the claw in the middle and pointed towards the place where the sneaky two were hiding at this moment.

The momentum on Xiao Zibai's body became fierce in an instant.

He took two steps forward, protected the "Tuanzi" behind him, held the iron sword beside him, put on an offensive posture, and shouted coldly at the bushes not far away: "What kind of person is sneaking there!" Before the words could land, Xiao Zibai twisted his body and drew his sword, slashing diagonally towards the bushes.

He only slashed a sword.

After the sword was slashed, Xiao Zibai silently returned the sword to its sheath. There was no thunderous momentum, no shocking sword light, just such a simple sword slash, but after this split, starting from the place where Xiao Zibai was standing to the front of the bushes, there was a deep ravine on the ground, and the ravine was full of white ice, which was still spreading and eroding around, and soon covered the soil and turf with a layer of frost white.

"Haven't you come out yet?" Xiao Zi pressed the hilt of the sword with his white hand and said expressionlessly, in front of him, the bush behind the Shao family brothers hiding had been completely frozen into ice. Tang Lin quietly stepped on the frozen ground with his human feet: the familiar hardness, the familiar low temperature, the familiar no gaps, Xiao Zibai was obviously very able to control his talent.

Tang Lin inexplicably felt very honored.

Xiao Zibai next to him waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no reaction in the bushes, he raised his eyebrows and was about to draw his sword and wave it again, but he heard a loud shout from behind him: "Hurry up and stop!" ”

This voice shouted so thick and loud that it almost broke people's eardrums, Tang Lin couldn't help but be stunned after hearing it, but Xiao Zibai didn't hesitate to speed up and slash it with a sword, and then Fang raised his eyes and said lightly to the person who had just arrived: "Sorry, you're late." ”

Pushing aside the bushes and seeing the Shao family brothers who had turned into two pieces of ice, Fang Honglang was so angry that his face turned pale.

"You...... You are so bold that you dare to defy the door rules! Kill the same door! He said hatefully, Xiao Zibai glanced at Fang Honglang, lowered his eyelids again, and asked completely unmoved, "So what?" What are you going to do? ”

"Do you want to tell your master about this, as you did before? Then ask your master to help you administer justice? Xiao Zibai's voice was a little sneering, and Tang Lin was quite relieved to hear it: The child has really grown up, and in the face of others' criticism, he has learned to fight back and protect himself.

On the other hand, Xiao Zibai's words hit Fang Honglang's mind. Fang Honglang really thought so - his master happened to be an elder of law enforcement. Originally, this was an established procedure, but when Xiao Zibai said this, as if he was a bullied child, crying and shouting to find his parents, his face suddenly became ugly.
