Xiao Jingyan was stunned for a long time before he finally cheered up and talked to Nuomi.

Only then did Nuomi know that Xiao Jingyan was in this Xianyi City, and she was not as comfortable as her. Because she has the ability to open a furnace for alchemy, she wants to live in this Xianyi City, and her life will inevitably be harder.

At the beginning, Xiao Jingyan only thought about using his previous experience in the miscellaneous servants' mansion to see if he could be a middleman who resold at both ends. As a result, after he walked around the market, he realized that his own ideas were a little too simple.

Xianyi City is different from the Miscellaneous Servants' Mansion, it has a very complete market, the entire Immortal City is full of monks who have lived here for generations, most of the industries such as pill charms are jointly monopolized by the sect and the family, and there is a complete Chamber of Commerce, not to mention a small casual cultivation like Xiao Jingyan, even the Scattered Cultivation Alliance that has been settled in Xianyi City for a period of time can't get too many benefits.

In order to gain a firm foothold in this Xianyi City, Xiao Jingyan also had to go outside to find some work to do.

His cultivation level was not too low in this Xianyi City, but it was not very high, and he happened to be in a rather awkward position. When you go to the city to look for work, there is a good chance that you don't want a monk like him.

If he cultivates lower, he can do some chores. If you are taller, or if you have a skill like glutinous rice, you can go to do something with a higher income. But although he was born in Huangshi Peak, his own skills in building magic weapons have been behind for many years, he can't sign a long contract, and he is afraid of losing money if he has a short contract, so in the end, he can only find a team like Su Dingbang and them, go outside to hunt demon beasts and pick up fairy grass.

In the past two years, he has joined many teams intermittently, but he has never been able to settle down. After coming into contact with those teams for a period of time, some problems will arise more or less, or if you are unlucky, you will encounter some violent demon beasts outside that have cultivated into powerful demon beasts, and half of their team will be wiped out.

"I've fought a lot of monsters out there. When I was in the Miscellaneous Servants' Mansion, I tried every possible way to avoid those demon beasts colliding with the big array, but I didn't expect to come back to this Xianyi City, and I actually had to use it to live. Xiao Jingyan shook his head, and there was some self-deprecation between his words.

Nuomi pursed her lips, and saw that Xiao Jingyan's cuffs would inadvertently reveal a shallow scar, which was different from Zhou Buyun's body, looking like he was injured by sharp weapons, and now that he had formed a fine scar, he didn't know how to comfort Xiao Jingyan.

Her previous life was indeed quite difficult, but it has only gradually improved in recent years, so she also knows that when life is hard, no matter how much others comfort her, it is in vain, and only in her heart do you know her own suffering.

The more Xiao Jingyan mentioned such days to her so lightly, the more it seemed that those days were really difficult. How did she know that Xiao Jingyan just didn't want to vent her confidence in front of her.

Nuomi thought about it, and then introduced Su Dingbang and their team to Xiao Jingyan.

"I've been out with that guy once, and I think they're pretty safe. If it weren't for the recent events, I would have been willing to go out with them. They are by no means the kind of people who will risk their lives for a small profit, and it is easy to do tasks outside with them. At this time, there is a shortage of people, you can go and see. ”

She couldn't provide any help to Xiao Jingyan, and she didn't want to see Xiao Jingyan living a hard life, so she could only introduce Su Dingbang to Xiao Jingyan, hoping that they could look at each other on both sides, so that both sides could live a more comfortable life.

Xiao Jingyan listened very carefully, feeling sad because Nuomi had a new life and praising those unknown monks in front of him, and happy because Nuomi looked worried about him, which was really complicated.

When the two of them were talking, Zhou Buyun just sat on the side, let alone interject, and even the things on the table, he didn't reach out to touch them at all.

Glutinous rice talked to Xiao Jingyan for a while, and then suddenly remembered Zhou Buyun, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Buyun sitting straight on the side, bowing his head and looking bored, he felt very embarrassed, and quickly took a passion fruit, handed it to Zhou Buyun, and whispered, "This fruit is delicious, you can taste it." ”

"Oh." Zhou Buyun agreed sullenly, raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jingyan, then took the passion fruit from the glutinous rice, but he didn't eat it, just took it in his hand, looked down, and didn't say anything else.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Jingyan couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but turn around and preach to Nuomi, "What's the matter with this kid, his face has been so ugly since he started, and he has to be your disciple." It's not because I look at your benefits that I'm stalking like this, right? ”

As soon as he said this, Zhou Buyun's face naturally changed immediately, and he raised his head and glared at Xiao Jingyan fiercely.

Nuomi originally wanted to open her mouth to help Zhou Buyun say a few good words, but Zhou Buyun raised her head and glared, but she was really startled. The anger and hatred in the young man's eyes were very similar to Zhou Dong's crazy eyes, which made her feel a little frightened.

She had always looked at Zhou Buyun and Zhou Dong separately, and she never thought that Zhou Buyun had such a father, so she would definitely do the same thing. For Zhou Buyun, she has more sympathy and pity in her heart.

It's just that now Zhou Buyun has a look, but she finds out that Zhou Buyun has indeed been influenced by Zhou Dong. I just don't know how deep the impact is.

Xiao Jingyan was a person who had fought to the death with demon beasts outside, so naturally he would not be intimidated by Zhou Buyun's eyes, but sneered, ignored Zhou Buyun, and just turned his head and said to Nuomi, "Look, I just said a word, and this kid showed a wolf-like look, but he is not kind." You've got a good temperament, and I know that. But you have to be careful not to keep a white-eyed wolf. ”

"......" glutinous rice can say anything besides nodding. I could only whisper "I know".

Zhou Buyun's eyes immediately sank, opened his mouth, and took a deep breath before he spoke, "I just want to learn alchemy, and I also respect my master." If you don't know, don't be suspicious. ”

"I suspect or not. What I think, it doesn't matter in the first place. What matters is what exactly you're going to do. Xiao Jingyan didn't know if he was really worried about glutinous rice, or just because of jealousy, he just looked at Zhou Buyun unpleasantly, and always felt that he didn't look like a good thing.

Xiao Jingyan didn't think about hiding his thoughts, so he simply put his dislike for Zhou Buyun on the surface.

The two stared at each other as if they were the same object. Glutinous rice sat in the middle, not persuasive, not persuasive, can only be anxiously watching from the side.

The young men in the tavern slept on the counter as if they had no idea of the tension at the table on their side.

Outside, some noisy sounds from the night market could occasionally be heard, and in this somewhat dimly lit tavern, Xiao Jingyan and Zhou Buyun hated each other, as if they were completely between two worlds.

Glutinous rice looked around anxiously, but found that there was no one else in the tavern except for that young man. If she wants to find a savior, it seems that there is only that little fellow. But that little guy just dozed off on the counter all the way, and he looked like a person he couldn't rely on at all.

She was in a hurry when she suddenly saw the young man over there look up. She also thought that this young guy had felt the atmosphere between Xiao Jingyan and Zhou Buyun and wanted to come over to dissuade him. Unexpectedly, the young man just glanced in the direction of the door, then drooped his head down again, and lay down on the top of the counter again.

Nuomi was stunned, and also looked in the direction of the door.

In the dim shadows in front of the door, a monk stood at some point. The monk, dressed in shabby clothes, walked slowly into the tavern in the red light of the lantern.

It seemed that the robe on his body had been worn for a long time, and he had gone through many battles, and he had made many openings back and forth, and he had asked him to re-stitch it back by himself. His needlework was evidently not very good, and in some places it was loosely sewn, and in others it was so tight that it was wrinkled, and the whole robe became a little unrecognizable.

The monk couldn't tell his age, he only knew that he was a middle-aged man, and he didn't seem to see Xiao Jingyan and Zhou Buyun at all, his eyes only stayed on Nuomi for a moment, showed a look of admiration, and then turned away again. He walked slowly into the tavern, picked one of the tables, and then shouted to the young man in a hoarse voice, "Two pots of honey wine, and half a pound of the head meat of the brown-haired pig demon." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Nuomi was stunned, and even completely forgot that there were two people next to him staring at each other.

“…… Division...... Uncle Shi? Nuomi asked uncertainly, and the voice was very small, but the monk still heard it, turned his head a little puzzled, and looked at Nuomi again.

"Uncle Shi...... It's Uncle Shi, right? ”

As soon as the monk turned his head, Nuomi's voice suddenly became louder, and he jumped up from his seat and ran towards the monk. (To be continued.)
