"We're here."

Xuanyuan Zun stretched and jumped out of the carriage. The warm and humid climate made Xuanyuan Zun, who was wearing thick clothes, feel a little hot. He took off his black fur coat and put it in the carriage.

This is the "Hidden Lands of Lantortis", a small village.

Tessa looked around, and she realized that the village had become completely integrated into nature. A dozen or so small wooden houses are scattered around this naturally formed path. Vines and all sorts of exotic plants are harmoniously entwined around the house, and there are even some unknown purple flowers blooming on the walls of the house. If you don't look closely, it's hard to see that there are houses here. The walls and roofs of the houses are covered in green. Behind some houses, big trees grow directly from the wall!

"It's amazing!"

If it weren't for Xuanyuan Zun's reminder, Tessa would hardly feel that she was on the street at this moment!

Although there was not a single pedestrian on the streets of the village, Tessa did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, the surrounding plants shook as if they really welcomed her. The birdsong from time to time makes this place not so deserted, but has some small fresh meaning.

Xuanyuan Zun walked to the door of one of the stone houses and knocked on the door. No one responded for a long time. Xuanyuan Zun seemed to be a little impatient, and increased his strength, and the wooden door actually had a small hole recessed!

"Can you be gentle? It's someone's house! ”

Tessa pulled Xuanyuan Zun away from behind and said, "Would you be happy if someone else knocked on your house like this?" ”

A roll of eyes flickered by, and Tessa gently knocked on the wooden door, and asked in her very gentle voice, "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?" ”。 Perhaps it was the sound that was more penetrating, and sure enough, the voice of a little boy on the other side of the door came out.

"It's coming, it's coming!" The voice had a coughing sound of "cough cough".

Tessa looked at Xuanyuan Zun ostentatiously - although Xuanyuan Zun was a whole head taller than her, Xuanyuan Zun could still see Tessa's pride condescendingly.

"Don't look at me, the door is open (wordy old woman)."

Angry, Xuanyuan Zun walked into the house first. Tessa couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Xuanyuan Zun's unwilling but helpless expression.

"Ah, hello, Lord Xuanyuan!"

Seeing that it was Xuanyuan Zun who pushed the door in, the little boy in the house immediately greeted respectfully. At the same time, he also noticed Taisha standing behind Xuanyuan Zun.

"This is ......"

"Passers-by!"

With that, Xuanyuan Zun entered the house first, leaving the little boy and Tessa at the door.

"Big sister should be here with Lord Xuanyuan Zun, come in!"

The boy's smile is pure, giving people a very comfortable feeling. This made Tessa very happy. But it was obvious that the boy must be sick, and seeing the boy's somewhat pale and emaciated face, Tessa unconsciously felt distressed.

"Xuanyuan Zun......" This is the first time Tessa has heard Xuanyuan Zun's name. However, she did not show any reaction, but pretended to be nothing.

- That's his name!

Nodding, Tessa stepped into the stone house. The area inside is not very large, but it is quite exquisite. The house is made of rough stone, and the furniture is made of wood. In it, in addition to a little monotony, there is a feeling of being close to nature. While Tessa was still admiring the marvelous hut, there was a conversation - "Didn't you go to collect the grass today, Luo?" ”

Xuanyuan Zun took a sip of the tea prepared by Luo, and seemed to be chatting with the little boy very familiarly.

"Well, as you can see, I'm not in good health today, so I can't go out to work."

Lowe smiled apologetically, then coughed twice. Listening to the boy's answer, Xuanyuan Zun's face did not change, and he still had no expression - "In this case, can your workload still be guaranteed?" You don't seem to have any extra labor in your family besides you! ”

Xuanyuan Zun didn't seem to care about the little boy's body, just asked questions about work.

"If it can't be completed on time, the "pearl" may not be easy to say! ”

Hearing Xuanyuan Zun's words, Luo's face suddenly became even more ugly. He was already crying a little - "Today, grandpa and sister went out to work instead of me, they really worked hard, grandpa is so old, and my sister is still too young...... But there should be no problem! ”

"Well, I hope they can complete the task that you are supposed to do, and you also know that to live here, Tianyi grass is essential!"

Xuanyuan Zun's words were full of threat. Hearing this, Tessa couldn't help frowning slightly. Although it was just a few simple words of dialogue, Tessa had been paying attention to Xuanyuanzun's words and demeanor - he didn't feel any of Xuanyuanzun's concern for the little boy's illness, and even after the little boy said that he was sick, Xuanyuan Zun had always cared only about the task he had said, and he didn't seem to care about the situation of his grandparents and sisters going to work.

"Well, you can sit down for a while, grandpa and sister may not come back for a while, I'll help you prepare dinner."

The boy smiled and said to Xuanyuan and Tessa. When his eyes met Tessa's, the wry smile and embarrassment, helplessness and helplessness were all expressed. Tessa felt very uncomfortable, and when Luo walked into the kitchen, she turned her head and asked Xuanyuan Zun - "Didn't you hear what he said?" He's not in good health, and his grandfather and sister are also working, why don't you be considerate of him? ”

"Why? Because they're just NPCs, aren't they? ”

There was not the slightest pity in Xuanyuan Zun's eyes. Tessa wanted to say something unpleasant, but her long-term good tutoring made her unable to say anything unpleasant. After holding back for a long time, he only said the word "bastard", and then got up and threw Xuanyuan Zun alone in the living room and walked into the kitchen.
