294 Can't Forget [Second Watch]
Xiao Jingyan found that Zhou Buyun was telling the truth, and the expression on his face sank irrepressibly. Fortunately, he was mixed in the crowd, the light and shadow around him changed, and there were people coming and going, so he couldn't quite see his expression. He pursed his lips, and finally suppressed his feelings, but his mouth was a little dry.
Originally, after seeing glutinous rice once in Nuanxiang Building, Xiao Jingyan felt that glutinous rice had become a little unrecognizable to him. It's not that there is any change in the glutinous rice itself, but her current ability, which makes Xiao Jingyan feel that she can't look directly and match, just looking at it from a distance, Xiao Jingyan feels that she has been too far away from the glutinous rice. Now that he saw it, he found that there was such an inconspicuous little male cultivator standing next to Nuomi, and the jealousy in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
When Jiao Suqing stood beside Nuomi, he could still comfort himself, feeling that it was a great power after all, and it was a natural thing to stand next to Nuomi and take his place.
But now this little monk is not tall, and his body is not strong, but he looks like Zhou Zheng, but when he speaks, he is always a little defensive and cowering, and his cultivation level is not comparable to him at all, let alone any characteristics.
No matter how you look at it, what is standing next to Nuomi now is an inconspicuous little character.
And since this male cultivator claims to be a disciple of Nuomi, Nuomi has not refuted it, so it can be seen that the relationship between the two is really like this. If you can regard glutinous rice as a master, you will naturally not be a character with an identity background and advanced cultivation.
The streets of this night market are clearly not a good place to talk.
Xiao Jingyan led the glutinous rice and Zhou Buyun all the way to a tavern on the side. He didn't look back all the way, for fear that seeing Nuomi and Zhou Buyun's tightly held hands would make him change his face again.
Nuomi pulled Zhou Buyun and followed behind Xiao Jingyan step by step, not finding Xiao Jingyan's abnormality at all. Instead, he met Zhou Buyun's questioning gaze and introduced Xiao Jingyan to Zhou Buyun in a whisper.
In the past, she couldn't talk about those things in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect with Zhou Buyun in detail, so she could only vaguely say that Xiao Jingyan was her former senior brother of the same sect, and later came out together as a casual cultivator, and they got along for a while, and the relationship between the two was very good, and even said jokingly: "He can be regarded as my senior brother of the same sect, if you really follow this relationship, you will call him a teacher." β
Zhou Buyun paused, and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't want to ask about this." β
Nuomi looked at his somewhat awkward appearance, and suddenly smiled with crooked eyes.
The street outside was too noisy, and Xiao Jingyan didn't hear them whisper something that seemed intimate behind him, otherwise he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Xiao Jingyan led them all the way to avoid the crowd, bypassed the noise of the night market, and walked a long way before turning into a tavern. The faΓ§ade of the tavern was not very large, and there were only seven or eight tables in it, half of which had been cleaned up, except for the three tables at the door, and there were still short stools on the side of the table, and a young man was lying on the counter beside him, dozing off with his chin on his hands.
Nuomi originally thought that the little guy had already fallen asleep, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jingyan had just crossed the threshold of the tavern, and the little guy suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at them lazily. After seeing Xiao Jingyan, the young man nodded his head, and he didn't know whether to greet them, or just doze off for a while, and lowered his head again.
Xiao Jingyan was obviously a frequent visitor, and when he saw the young man's appearance, he didn't pay much attention to it, but just led Nuomi and Zhou Buyun all the way to one of the tables and sat down, turned his head and shouted to the young man, "I want lark fruit and honey wine." β
The environment inside this tavern is very dim, and even in front of the door there is only an old lantern, which illuminates only a small square area on the steps, so that people can't tell whether the tavern is open or not.
If Nuomi is looking at this tavern with curious eyes, then Zhou Buyun's eyes can be called vigilant. However, his original attitude was very detached, but now he has vigilance in his eyes, and he doesn't look so dazzling.
Nuomi naturally has a lot to say to Xiao Jingyan.
She still thinks Xiao Jingyan is close, and when she saw Xiao Jingyan turn back, she also took her gaze and talked about her recent events. However, there were some things that she couldn't tell Xiao Jingyan about whether she should talk to Xiao Jingyan, so she thought back and forth, so she could only talk to Xiao Jingyan about going outside to do a task.
Xiao Jingyan looked very absent-minded, looked at the glutinous rice, and then looked at Zhou Buyun who was sitting next to him, and waited for the young man to yawn while serving them food and spiritual wine, and then asked, "What about the original power?" β
"Mighty, do you say Ah Jiao?" Nuomi tilted her head, "Ah Jiao has other things, he has already left Xianyi City, haven't you heard that the people in Xianyi City are spreading this before?" β
"I know"
Xiao Jingyan was only halfway through this, and suddenly felt a little unable to continue.
What could he say. Does he want to talk to Nuomi, he thinks that the relationship between Jiao Suqing and Nuomi is not such an ordinary relationship, so he thinks that Nuomi and Jiao Suqing should have any connection in private. Regardless of whether Nuomi's words are true or not, now that Nuomi has said this, he refutes it again, but he is just humiliating himself.
"The mead in this tavern is very good, you can't do it often." Xiao Jingyan simply swallowed the words on his lips again, personally poured a glass of wine for glutinous rice, hesitated for a moment, and then poured half a cup for Zhou Buyun, handed it over, and pointed at Zhou Buyun and asked, "Then what is his situation?" β
"He just wants me to teach him how to open a furnace for alchemy. I originally said that I didn't want him to be my disciple, and I haven't reached the point where I can accept an apprentice. But he refuses to live or die, he has to call me a teacher, and I don't know what to teach him."
Glutinous rice carefully took a sip of honey wine, felt the sweet and greasy taste of honey wine spread in his mouth, and felt that the taste was not bad, so he showed a smile.
Xiao Jingyan listened to Nuomi's words, and then he relaxed a little.
He also thought that Nuomi had really accepted an apprentice, but it turned out to be just Zhou Buyun's own wishful thinking.
The two may seem similar, but they are very different. Xiao Jingyan is a familiar glutinous character, knowing that she is extremely soft and a little cowardly, if she really wants to accept apprentices, then the relationship between her and the young man must be quite unusual. But now that I heard it, it turned out that it was just the young man who forced it, and their relationship was not as affectionate as imagined.
Zhou Buyun sat on the side with a cold face, didn't speak, and didn't serve the honey wine that Xiao Jingyan poured for him, not knowing what he was thinking.
And Xiao Jingyan looked down at Nuomi sitting next to him drinking honey wine, and suddenly remembered the situation when the two of them were eating together in the Miscellaneous Servants' Mansion, and he felt a little trance.
When he was in the Miscellaneous Servant's Mansion with Nuomi, he never thought that the two of them would be like this, working together as a casual cultivator, but they were a little strangers.
At first, he only thought that Nuomi was an interesting little girl, but now that he saw it on the road, he couldn't believe that the person standing in front of him was the little girl who was a little timid and always loved to hide behind him.
Because of the exercises, the glutinous rice now has a great change in temperament, and the whole person no longer looks like the cowardly appearance at the beginning, especially when smiling, giving people a feeling of indifference and dust.
Xiao Jingyan didn't know that the glutinous rice had changed to a different technique, and he couldn't guess the changes in the glutinous rice, so he could only think that the glutinous rice had grown up. It's a pity that in the process of growing up, there is obviously no place for him as a stupid admirer.
When he found out that he had that kind of shallow love for glutinous rice, he was still a little surprised, and he felt that he couldn't admit it. Because Nuomi was just a half-grown girl, even the appearance has some children's unique round glutinous, if you want to say that it is a girl's body, it is better to say that it is just the appearance of a female doll.
But now when he looked at it, he found that the glutinous rice had really fallen into a delicate lotus bone with buds waiting to be released, with a clear posture of trembling slightly in the wind, even standing in the crowd, it was also quite dazzling and attention-grabbing.
Nuomi herself didn't seem to notice this, and she didn't know how many monks on the streets of the night market were attracted by her, and quietly turned their heads to look at her.
She still has some greenness on her face now, but she is very soft, which is completely different from the fierceness of a teenager like Zhou Buyun, and that kind of peaceful juanxiu is rarely seen even in female cultivators.
Xiao Jingyan remembered that when the two met, Nuomi was just a little girl who would not be suspicious if she was dressed as a male cultivator, but now she has really grown into a girl.
When I saw him this time, the impact on him was even greater than when he was in Nuanxianglou, and it had reached the point where he had no strength to envy, envy and hate anymore.
He originally thought that he could avoid it from a distance, even if it was for a long time, as long as he didn't meet Nuomi again, one day, he would forget that he had once liked such a little nun.
It's just that when he saw it today, he suddenly found that Nuomi was standing quietly in the crowd like that, and he might not be able to forget it again in his life.
The crowd was so noisy, and Nuomi just stood quietly, looking curiously at the side, which made him feel that there was only one figure on this full street. (To be continued.)
