Although Tang Sa repeatedly assured Xiao Yuan that there would be no danger before leaving, Xiao Yuan still felt a little heavy, and after returning to the ward, he also seemed to be preoccupied.

"Xiao Yuan, what's wrong with you, don't you want to let Sister Sa go?" Xia Jiuying thought that Xiao Yuan was a little reluctant to Tang Sa, so she stepped forward and grabbed his hand and asked.

"It's not." Xiao Yuan held Xia Jiuying's hand, smiled at her, and said, "Sister Sa seems to be going on some mission, and it may be dangerous, so I'm a little worried." ”

"If you want to open some, Sister Sa has great skills, she will be fine." Xia Jiuying comforted Xiao Yuan.

"Let's hope so, forget it, don't think about it too much, no matter how much you think about it, it won't make a difference, it's better to do what is in front of you well." Xiao Yuan said.

After chatting with Lin Ran in the hospital for a while, Xiao Yuan and Xia Jiuying went home, and when they got home, the old man sat in the living room drinking tea, but he didn't see Qin Xiaotong.

Hearing that the old man had put Qin Xiaotong and Liu Wenwen together, Xiao Yuan suddenly felt a headache, Qin Xiaotong had been trying to find a way to find trouble for himself, and Liu Wenwen had no good impression of herself, if these two people got together, it would not be good news for him.

"Oh my God, master, how can you let her go to Liu Wenwen?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to let Liu Wenwen take her to play, save me from annoying my old man at home, and save her trouble with you when she sees you?" The old man said.

"Master, do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused, Liu Wenwen has always looked at me unpleasantly, and the little girl has been trying to trouble me, you put the two of them together, can you still have it?" Xiao Yuan said.

"Don't worry, there are teachers, they don't dare to mess around." The old man waved his hand and said.

Xiao Yuan did pout, and it was precisely because of your old man's support that the little girl dared to be unscrupulous, but he naturally couldn't say this.

"Grandpa, Xiaotong is here with you, don't her parents want her?" Xia Jiuying sat down next to the old man, picked up the kettle and refilled it into the teacup for him, and then said, the purpose was naturally to let the old man send Qin Xiaotong away.

"His parents?" The old man smiled and sighed lightly, "Xiaotong is a poor child, where are the parents?" ”

The old man's words surprised Xiao Yuan, and he hurriedly asked, "Isn't she Qin Song's sister?" ”

"It's not my brother and sister, this matter involves the grievances of the previous generation and the secrets of the Hongmen, so don't delve into it, besides, Xiaotong comes back, don't talk to her about such a topic." The old man waved his hand and said.

Xia Jiuying glanced up at Xiao Yuan, and then asked, "Grandpa, are you spoiling her for this reason?" ”

"In fact, there is no one in Hongmen who does not favor her." The old man said.

"Yes, I think Uncle Guo's pampering of her is more serious than yours, but is this really good for her, especially since she is so attached to Long Taijie?" Xiao Yuan said.

"The worship of the little girl, it's not a big deal, it's good when you grow up." The old man didn't care about it at all.

"Xiaotong is thirteen years old, not a six- or seven-year-old child who doesn't understand anything, if this kind of relationship is left unchecked and not properly guided, when she grows up, her attachment to Long Taijie will probably become more and more serious." Xiao Yuan had a different opinion.

"If you really like it when you grow up, you can marry her to Taijie." The old man was speechless again, and swore endlessly.

"Xiaotong is called Uncle Long Taijie, how can this be?" Xiao Yuan was a little difficult to accept the old man's open-mindedness.

"Why not, the reason why Xiaotong is called Uncle Taijie is because they are more than ten years apart in age, and it's not really a lifetime apart, just like you are my apprentice, but Yingying calls me grandpa, are you also a generation behind, so the generation of this thing, if there is no clear inheritance, it can't be counted, if Xiaotong really wants to marry Taijie in the future, just change the title, it's not a big deal." The old man said.

Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Yuan felt speechless, but he didn't continue on this issue, after all, this is someone else's family matter, and it basically has nothing to do with him.

"Grandpa, listen to you, you appreciate Long Taijie very much." Xia Jiuying said on the side.

"Taijie is arguably the kid I've watched grow up, and he's the best kid I've ever seen." The old man gave Long Taijie a high evaluation.

"So, in your opinion, Xiao Yuan is not as good as him?" Xia Jiuying heard the old man say this, it seemed that Xiao Yuan's height in his mind was not as high as Long Taijie, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

"I can't say that, Taijie is very good, but with his grandfather's physiognomy skills, he can see it clearly at a glance, although he is excellent, he lacks a pure heart, and Xiao Yuan is not painful, there is no doubt that he is also very good, but this is not the most important, the most important thing is that grandpa found that he can always maintain a pure heart and not be polluted by the world, this is the main reason why grandpa wants to accept him as an apprentice, you know, there are too many people who want to worship grandpa as a teacher before, grandpa didn't agree, Yingying, grandpa asked you, Why do you like Xiao Yuan, is it because he is excellent, or is it for some other reason? The old man saw Xia Jiuying's displeasure, so he asked after explaining.

"Xiao Yuan has a special temperament that attracts me, I can't say what it is, but I also admit that his excellence is also one of the reasons, but it is definitely not the main reason." Xia Jiuying glanced at Xiao Yuan, saw that he was waiting for his explanation with his ears pricked up, and glanced at him with a shyness before he said.

"Haha......" the old man laughed and said, "This kid seems to be covered with a layer of fog, grandpa has met countless people in his life, and finds that the longer he comes into contact with him, the more he can't see through him, but grandpa can be sure that he must have a big secret hidden in him." ”

"What secrets can I have, master, you think too much." Xiao Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

"What, your heart is weak, isn't it?" What kind of person is the old man, Xiao Yuan's heart was captured by him in an instant.

"What do I have a weak heart, you really think too much." Xiao Yuan leaned back on the sofa, put his body in a comfortable position, and said.

"Forget it, you don't have to be nervous, unless one day you are willing to take the initiative to say it, the master will not ask." The old man smiled and said.

On the side, Xia Jiuying stared at Xiao Yuan's face, when the old man was talking to him, he seemed to think of something, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but when he heard the old man's words later, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and the doubts in his eyes dissipated.

…………

In the evening, Xiao Yuan returned to the innovation lab, and after turning on the computer, Mark sent a message again, asking if he wanted to join blackskull.

"Xiao Yuan, is it time to give me an answer?"

Xiao Yuan raised his head, saw that Mark was also looking up at him, and after signaling to him, he was about to bow his head, but found that Jessica also raised his head, glanced at him, lowered his head and crackled on the keyboard.

Xiao Yuan lowered his head and saw that the message receiving system on the computer screen had received a message from Jessica.

"Xiao Yuan, if you want to go to the real kingdom of freedom, don't run away, use your courage to face the challenge, no matter what choice you make, I will support you, and one more thing to tell you, I just applied for the S-class core member of Blackskull, - Jessica."

Xiao Yuan looked at the message sent by Jessica, and was a little surprised to see her decision, thinking that she had made such a decision at this time, a warm feeling rose in his heart, and he first sent her a message back: "I know what choice I have to make, no matter what, thank you, Jessica." ”

After replying to this message, Xiao Yuan typed another message on the computer and sent his decision to Mark.
