Seeing that the young man was looking at her with a defensive look, Nuomi reached out and scratched his head, feeling that it was really strange for him to pull the other party into the room so suddenly.

"That...... You better drink your saliva. Glutinous rice said to herself, turned around and poured a glass of water for the young man, and stuffed it into the young man's hand.

She really didn't take the initiative to communicate with others, and now she suddenly pulled the young man into the room, just to avoid Zhou Dong's gaze. When she looked up and saw Zhou Dong staring at the young man from behind, she only felt that her brain was hot, and she didn't have any other thoughts at all, so she pulled the young man into the room first, and she didn't know what to do next.

At first, I just thought that it would be good to ask the young man to avoid Zhou Dong's gaze a little, but after really pulling the person into the room, Nuomi remembered that the other party was studying in the school in Xianyi City on weekdays, but in fact, he couldn't see Zhou Dong most of the day.

Now that she's pulled people back, she doesn't know what to say.

The young man covered the wounds on his face so carefully, naturally he didn't want others to notice, and she didn't want to ask. As for the reason why the boy knocked on the door, even the boy himself didn't want to mention it, and she couldn't speak.

Nuomi thought back to the scene when Xiao Jingyan talked to her for the first time when she was in the Miscellaneous Servants' Mansion, hesitated for a long time, and finally could only ask expectantly, "You...... What's your name? My name is Nuomi. ”

The boy was sitting in his chair in a restrained position, not daring to look around, but looking down at the cup that had been stuffed in his hand. Hearing Nuo Mi's sudden opening, he raised his head sharply as if he was taken aback.

There was still a thick guard and alienation in his eyes, he glanced at Nuomi, hesitated, and said lightly, "I know." ”

Nuomi waited for a long time, but he didn't hear his self-registration, so he couldn't help but pout, and asked again, "I'm asking your name." Now that you know my name, don't you think you should tell me your name? ”

The young man was stunned, glanced at Nuomi, probably didn't expect that the girl who was still a little old-fashioned when he talked to him was now pouting like a child in front of him, and suddenly became a little at a loss, stunned for a while, and whispered, "My name is Zhou Buyun." ”

"Oh...... Is it a step on the rise? Nuomi blinked and leaned in front of the boy to ask.

Zhou Buyun's ears immediately turned red. His complexion is very fair, and his face is so red that it looks like he has been dyed with a layer of rouge, which is very good-looking. He nodded a little panickedly, and stepped back with his glass, nearly falling off the chair. It was not easy to stabilize his body, and he looked around the room as if he was avoiding glutinous rice.

Nuomi looked at Zhou Buyun's flustered appearance, blinked her eyes, and slowly came to her senses, this person has probably never been in contact with a female cultivator, and he is young, and he can't help but want to avoid being pushed forward by her like this in the most sensitive period.

After thinking about it, Nuomi honestly sat on the other side of the chair, poured herself a glass of water, and carefully observed Zhou Buyun who was looking around.

After looking at it quietly like this, Nuomi found that in addition to the scars on Zhou Buyun's body that he had seen before, there were also many red and purple bruises hidden under his clothes. Some of the marks were very old, and they didn't look like bruises, and they didn't look very clearly in the shadow of clothes, but they looked like wounds that had been beaten with other instruments.

Just looking at it like this, glutinous rice felt very painful, not to mention Zhou Buyun, who felt these things personally.

The blueness on Zhou Buyun's face was not normal whiteness, but more like a kind of sickness brought about by not being able to eat enough all year round. When Nuomi was wandering outside, he had seen a young man with the same pale complexion as him. It was not long after the beginning of the disaster year, and those teenagers were also like Zhou Buyun, thin and small, with a faint blue and black under their eyes.

At the beginning, Zhou Buyun just wanted to hide his panic, and he glanced around the room somewhat casually. But after seeing the Dan furnace in the middle of the room, which he hadn't had time to put away, his eyes gradually lit up.

There is also a faint fragrance of pills in this room, there are two fire-based spirit runes pasted on the Dan furnace, and there is a faint residual temperature on the Dan furnace, which makes Zhou Buyun feel very surprised.

When he was outside before, he had already heard those casual cultivators chatting, saying that Nuomi was a little female cultivator who could open a furnace for alchemy. When he overheard this, he was still very unconvinced. Although he can see that Nuomi's cultivation is higher than him, but Nuomi is just a little female cultivator of the same age as him, he sometimes envies Nuomi's freedom, but he never wants to believe that Nuomi really has such a great ability, and there is such a deep distance between him and him.

When he was in front of Zhou Dong, he was often beaten, but when he entered the academy in this Xianyi City, he was always praised, and he gradually regained some self-confidence. There was not a single monk in the academy who did not praise his talent, and even said that he was a cultivator who could be introduced to the same sect and family.

Although Zhou Dong finally stopped the recommendation of those monks, and changed the school for him, and specially changed the rented place for this purpose, he found hope from then on, feeling that he would never stay by Zhou Dong's side forever, just a venting object.

He felt that he was going to take off one day, but he couldn't find a chance yet.

The qiē in the glutinous rice room surprised him.

When Zhou Buyun was in the academy, he was also very interested in alchemy. It's a pity that the school outside can't teach the knowledge of alchemy. Even if he was curious, he couldn't get into it.

When he overheard in the courtyard that glutinous rice would open the furnace for alchemy, and he could also refine the fairy grass into a medicinal liquid and sell it cheaply, Zhou Buyun's curiosity and envy for glutinous rice simply reached its peak.

He has never been such an arrogant person, but he definitely does not want to be looked down upon by glutinous rice. Nuomi hadn't even noticed that when Zhou Buyun was a person, he had secretly begun to pay attention to glutinous rice and compare himself with glutinous rice.

So even if he had to be beaten by Zhou Dong every time he went back, he was still unwilling to ask for something from Nuomi lightly.

"You...... Can you really do alchemy? Zhou Buyun's eyes stared straight at the Dan furnace in the room, and he asked very jerkyly.

Nuomi didn't expect Zhou Buyun to suddenly take the initiative to speak, and was slightly stunned, so he nodded, "Hmm." ”

She no longer wanted to hide the fact that she was able to open a furnace for alchemy.

Zhou Buyun's eyes became amazed. He himself was very interested in opening the furnace for alchemy, so he knew exactly how difficult it was for a casual cultivator to practice alchemy. When he was eavesdropping outside, he could comfort himself, saying that those people were probably wrong, and that glutinous rice was just a reseller of medicinal liquid.

But when he really saw the Dan furnace in the room, and smelled the fragrance of the Dan medicine prescription that came out of the oven, and then got the affirmation of the glutinous rice, he knew that the glutinous rice was really a person who could open the furnace to refine the pill, and those loose cultivators outside were not talking nonsense.

"You...... It's amazing. Zhou Buyun's voice was a little dry, but in the end he still praised the glutinous rice, "It's the first time I've seen a casual cultivator who can open a furnace for alchemy...... You must be a ...... Talented. ”

"No, no." It was the first time for Nuomi to be praised in person like this, although Zhou Buyun's feelings were very low, and there was no attitude that a person who praised should have, Nuomi still panicked, and quickly waved his hand and shook his head, "There are still loose cultivators who can open the furnace for alchemy, and in those pill shops outside, occasionally they can still sign a few casual cultivators who can do alchemy......"

Seeing that Zhou Buyun was still looking down, Nuomi didn't know why, a trace of unbearability rose in his heart, so he continued, "Moreover, I'm not exactly a casual cultivator. I learned all these alchemy techniques in one sect. It's just that that sect is no longer there...... I'm looking for someone, and that's why I'm a ......casual cultivator."

"You weren't originally a casual cultivator?!"

When Zhou Buyun heard this, he was really taken aback, regained his spirit a little, and looked up at the glutinous rice in surprise.

After hearing Nuomi say that her sect was no longer there, Zhou Buyun then remembered the situation when he was taken out of the school.

At first, he was very happy in the school, and the whole school revolved around him almost alone, and the monks who preached regarded him as the most promising minor friar in the school, and the fellow students around him also regarded him as the little leader. When he was forcibly taken away from that school by Zhou Dong, he was sad for a long time behind his back.

Now when he heard what happened to Nuomi, he felt that Nuomi must have a similar mental journey like him.

For someone like Nuo Mi who can open a furnace for alchemy at such an age, Zhou Buyun feels that she must be an inner disciple who is being cultivated in the sect.

Zhou Buyun didn't feel much jealous of glutinous rice, he always felt that he just lacked the opportunity, if the opportunity came, he would definitely not be inferior to glutinous rice now, and his opportunity would come one day. Now that he listened to Nuomi's words, he felt close to Nuomi.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally comforted Nuomi a little stiffly, "You...... Don't be sad. ”

How did Nuomi know that Zhou Buyun had such a big misunderstanding, and thought that Zhou Buyun was comforting her not to worry, she could always find the person she was looking for, and she immediately had a good impression of Zhou Buyun.

"Thank you." Nuomi smiled at Zhou Buyun, thought about it, and said, "Do you also like alchemy?" Do you want to see the elixir I just refined? (To be continued.)
