Chapter 5: Ten Years
Time is the most ruthless, but also the fairest, no matter the old, weak, sick or disabled, high and low, it does not discriminate, there will be no favoritism...
A teenager who no one knew, after ten years of baptism, completely faded from people's memory, no one knew what he looked like, no one remembered his name, no one knew his past, and even everything about him was completely forgotten...
In a certain forest in the south of the continent, a splash suddenly surged from under the water on the surface of the originally calm lake, and a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old jumped out of the water naked...
"Grandpa Xiao, I've succeeded!" Xi'er is seventeen years old this year, and has just completed the task assigned by the master, and is excitedly shouting towards the pavilion in the center of the lake, tapping the water with her toes, and landing on the fishing platform again...
He ran to Xiao Yun excitedly, and the remaining water stains on his body splashed everywhere, completely wetting the entire fishing platform, and the water droplets followed the pace of the stream, extending to Xiao Yun's face...
"Grandpa Xiao, I have been able to dive around this lake for twenty laps in the time of one pillar of incense, as you said, as long as I break through to the Jiedan realm, within the time of one pillar of incense, I will be allowed to go out to practice by diving around this lake for twenty laps, you will never forget it!" Xi'er said excitedly.
"What are you shouting, what are you calling, don't you even know how to wear clothes?" Xiao Yun, who was in a fugue, was directly interrupted by this sudden voice, and said a little impatiently.
Thanks to Xiao Yun's reminder, Xi'er remembered that his whole body was covered with only a simple coarse cloth covering his lower body, and he hurriedly ran into the house, and put on a shirt that he was familiar with...
Obviously, in the past ten years, Xi'er has not only cultivated to reach the outside of the Jiedan, but also the "cultivation" of wearing clothes is also good, even higher than that old and unserious Xiao Yun...
"Hehe, Grandpa Xiao..." After a while, Xi'er got dressed and ran out, looking at Xiao Yun and smiling awkwardly.
"Hmph! If your cultivation can catch up with the speed of getting dressed, maybe you can be as fast as the tenths and twelve!" Xiao Yun also agreed with this, but the moisture in his words made people shudder!
After hearing this, Xi'er put her hands behind her head, twisted her head to the side, and secretly rolled her eyes at Xiao Yun, so that the ghost believed what he said!
"Look at your unproductive appearance, tell me, how long have you been here?" Xiao Yun smiled contemptuously, still relish about the cowhide he had just bragged.
"Ten years! It's been ten years!" Ten years have passed, Xi'er is no longer the hateful hairy boy he used to be, his thick black hair is diametrically opposed to Xiao Yun's green hair, and his wheat-colored skin and muscular figure look exceptionally healthy, covering his originally green cheeks!
"It's only been ten years since you arrived at the Jiedan Realm, are you embarrassed to shout at me?" Xiao Yun seemed to be very dissatisfied with Xi'er's current cultivation, and said unceremoniously.
"Grandpa Xiao, how long did it take for you to reach the Jiedan Realm?" Xi'er listened to Xiao Yun's words, still maintaining the posture just now, a wicked smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and her words were full of ridicule.
Under the influence of Xiao Yun, Xi'er has been completely cultivated by him in the past ten years...
Being asked by Xi'er like this, Xiao Yun's old face seemed to be a little unbearable, the only thing that hasn't changed in the past ten years, except for the hatred in the deepest part of Xi'er's heart, is the title of Xiao Yun, but this is also in the case that the two of them don't talk to each other...
"Boy, you beg to fight!" Xiao Yun was obviously a little annoyed and angry, and put on a posture of wanting to "repair" Xi'er.
"Hey, hey, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, what are you going to do, what are you going to do!" put down his hands, Xi'er jumped and retreated directly to the fishing platform, his eyes were opposite Xiao Yun without blinking, ready to dodge at any time, but there was a pavilion in the middle.
"I've never been a gentleman, and I don't want to be a gentleman!" Xiao Yun sneered, and after saying that, he rushed towards Xi'er...
However, Xiao Yun didn't eat this, as soon as Xi'er heard Xiao Yun's words, the corners of his mouth twitched coldly, and before Xiao Yun came to him, he had already expected his fate......
"Ahh
"Ah......h
"Ah......h
After a few screams, I saw Xiao Yun's "triumphant" return with a red face, and I didn't know that I thought he had won a battle!
Xi'er, who fell on the fishing platform, not only twitched the corners of her mouth this time, but also her upturned left leg!
For a long time, Xi'er covered her face with one hand, tiptoed back, and then looked up, the corners of Xi'er's mouth were blue and purple, and at a glance, she knew that she had been beaten up...
"Now that you have reached the realm of Yudan, I will allow you to go out and practice, remember, don't cause trouble for me, and don't be bullied!" Xiao Yun's eyes were horizontal, showing an extremely selfish side, you know, he is famous for protecting his shortcomings!
"What?" Xi'er couldn't believe her ears, she forgot the pain on her face, and put down her right hand in a daze, thinking that she had heard it wrong!
Xi'er has been in Xiao Yun's hermitage for the past ten years, and he has never had a chance to go out, seeing Xiao Yun blurting out so happily, how can he not let him doubt Xiao Yun's intentions!
"I'm talking, you go!" The sudden seriousness caught Xi'er off guard, and in his memory, the last time Xiao Yun spoke seriously, I don't know what year and month it was!
"Then I'll go..."Xi'er walked out tentatively, looking at Xiao Yun intently, who knows if he will go back on his word and look at Xi'er's jokes, after all, in the past ten years, similar situations have happened more than once or twice!
"Well, that's good, that's good......" Xiao Yun turned his back to Xi'er, and the words of praise were endless, and every word was heard in Xi'er's ears.
"That's, I'm a genius in the world!" Xi'er heard Xiao Yun's praise, stopped proudly, complacent, and raised her arm to point to herself in a thumbs-up posture with her right hand.
"Yo yo he, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts...... Unfortunately, this action touched the injury just now, and the painful Xi'er raised her hands to cover her face with grinning.
Xiao Yun's eyes on the side squinted back, probably because he couldn't get used to seeing Xi'er like this, so he set off again...
"Genius, I'll make you genius!I'll make you genius!" Xiao Yun turned around, palmed his left hand, and immediately detained Xi'er in front of him, and even more excessively was still behind, only to see Xiao Yun raise his right hand and directly reward Xi'er with a few bursts, and after a few screams, Xi'er suddenly realized, it turned out that Xiao Yun praised the tea in the cup...
Xi'er calculated thousands of calculations, and was 120,000 points careful, but after all, she was tricked by Xiao Yun...
At this time, Xi'er can say that the roots of the sore teeth are itchy, and I can't wait to grow two more hands to cover the injuries I suffered today!
"You kid won't leave yet, wait for me to send you!" Xiao Yun was serious for only three seconds, and he returned to his old appearance...
Xi'er listened to Xiao Yun say this, but hesitated a little, he slowly put down the hands covering his head, completely ignoring the pain just now, looked at Xiao Yun in front of him affectionately, and a tear faintly appeared in his eyes...
In the past, Xi'er tried her best to sneak out of this secluded place and out of this forest, but every time she failed, either she got lost and was found by Xiao Yun, or she was forced back by the beasts in the forest, in short, she never succeeded...
Now the opportunity is in front of him, but he is a little reluctant, although Xiao Yun has been very strict with him in the past ten years, but he has never treated him badly, for Xi'er, Xiao Yun has already become his relative, although the relationship between the two is more like a year-old friend, but in the face of Xiao Yun, who is not very careful, Xi'er hopes that he is a close person!
"You kid, when did you become such a mother-in-law, get out of here!" Xiao Yun kept waving his hands as if he was calling Huazi, and then turned his back to Xi'er, without saying anything about it!
But who knows, Xiao Yun's heart is also sour, after all, he grew up watching Xi'er, even if he is a pet, he will still be in love after a long time, let alone a living person!
Finally, Xi'er's eyes could no longer hold back the rolling tears, allowing them to penetrate Xi'er's cheeks and soak through the clothes of her long-time companion!
Suddenly, Xi'er took a big step back, knelt on the ground with a thud, and made three consecutive head-to-head rings, each of which slammed into the hearts of the two at the same time!
Xiao Yun, who has always been not confined to false etiquette, did not step forward to stop him, but was unusually quiet, he turned his back to Xi'er and quietly squinted, until Xi'er finished knocking his head three times, Xiao Yun did not make a sound!
Xi'er immediately got up, turned around and strode away, jumped on the surface of the lake with his toes, and reached the shore in a few flashes, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yun, and walked in the direction of the forest without looking back!
At this time, Xiao Yun slowly turned around, looking at Xi'er's departing back, his nose was sour, and a trace of tears appeared in the corners of his eyes...
But immediately, Xiao Yun changed into another look, it turned out that there was an accident in Xi'er not long after he walked out...
"Boy, you're going the other way!" At this time, a deep and loud voice came from behind Xi'er, this sound exploded in Xi'er's ears like thunder, only to feel the buzzing of his head, almost fell from the tree, even the branches on the side vibrated with it, and the leaves fell a layer, Xi'er hurriedly stopped, and after a full tea time, Xi'er was completely sober...
"Uh...... It's a big shame this time, this old injustice is clearly deliberate, and he won't be laughed to death when he goes back......" Xi'er slapped her head with her right hand, and said secretly in her heart.
After a while, Xiao Yun saw Xi'er leap out of the forest with a disgraced face, and her embarrassing steps met Xiao Yun's ridicule, which made Xi'er extremely depressed...
"You...!" Xi'er looked at Xiao Yun's gloating look, so she couldn't get angry, swallowed back the words that had not yet been spoken, and walked straight in the other direction...
"Hahahaha, boy, remember to go to Fancheng to see that old stubborn for me, hahahaha!" Xiao Yun laughed loudly behind Xi'er, just now he still looked like he was parting with deep affection, but now it has become a situation of laughing off his big teeth again...
Old stubborn, referring to Shangguan Hongfei, is Xiao Yun's friend of life and death, but when the two meet, they are like a pair of fighting cocks, pinching back and forth, and no one will let anyone...
Every year, Shangguan Hongfei will take his granddaughter, Shangguan Jialing, to Xiao Yun's hermitage for half a month, and Ling'er's father is called Shangguan Hao.
