Chapter 54: Is Senior Brother Caught in Thunder Today (27)

Qiqiao opened the door and let in Zhu Bai, who was knocking on the door outside.

"Why did you come back so late?" Qiqiao smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

"Hmm...... A little busy. ”

Zhu Bai didn't elaborate vaguely, but couldn't wait to take out something from his Qiankun bag as much as possible.

"Little junior sister, look, this is the gadget I bought for you outside today!"

Qiqiao lowered his head and looked at the pile of bits and pieces spread out on the table, and picked out a delicate hairpin.

"This is a hairpin made of blood coral, I think it's very flattering, so I bought it! Looks good, right? ”

"Thank you, brother, it's beautiful." Tangram gently rubbed the warm hairpin, quietly watching the lights in the room refract soft light on it.

She remembered that this hairpin was not cheap, and the people who were shouting the price at that time were all female cultivators, and she felt that she didn't need any decorations, so she didn't follow the price, and she didn't expect to be included in her own brother in the end.

"Do you like it?" Looking at the joy of holding it in her hand and not letting go, Zhu Bai's mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.

"Like! But...... I don't know how to wear my hair in a bun yet......" Qiqiao looked up at him, a little distressed.

This body is not yet an adult, and she has been cultivating in the sect with her head bored, and she has not even experienced the ceremony. Even if Zhu Bai gave her a hairpin, she had no experience in bunning her hair at all.

"I'll be simple, I'll help the little junior sister."

So Zhu Bai took the initiative to stand behind her and fiddled with her hair a little clumsily.

The girl's hair was not completely dry, and as soon as she held her hand, she felt a fragrant fragrance with moisture. Shine like fine silk satin and feel silky to the touch.

Leaning closer, the faint aroma that had just finished bathing drilled into his nose, making him feel a little dazed.

Tangram sat quietly in his seat and fiddled with his head, and for a moment the atmosphere in the room was unusually warm.

The girl felt Zhu Bai's deliberate gentle force, and suddenly thought of something, and laughed.

"Huh?"

Zhu Bai raised an eyebrow and just asked her what she was laughing at in a nasal voice.

"I remember when I was a child, my mother braided my hair, and she had a lot of hands, and she was afraid that I would always break the braids when I was out and about. Every time I braided my hair, I was very hard, and I was asked, girl, is it tight? ”

Qiqiao's fingers propped up the corners of his eyes, and a pair of eyes were propped up into hanging fox eyes.

"And then I became like this, and I showed her my face. Ask her, do you say it's tight? ”

"Poof......" Zhu Bai couldn't help laughing.

"Alas, alas, there is no such time again......"

She looked at the void in front of her with a nostalgic gaze, as if she was remembering something through time and space.

Zhu Bai thought that she was missing the Bai family, and there was a dull pain in her heart, and she couldn't help touching the top of her soft head.

"I'll be with you in the future."

Tangram looked up at her and smiled softly.

"Hmm."

Zhu Bai looked at her in a daze, as if he was bewitched, staring intently at the sparkling light under her eyes, as if something was quietly breaking out of the ground in his heart.

Just as he mustered up the courage to do something further, Qiqiao suddenly clapped his hands.

"By the way, I almost forgot to give a gift if you didn't say it! I have something to give to my brother, too! ”

As he spoke, he took out a delicate little box and gave it to him.

Zhu Bai hid the thoughts in his heart, took it and opened it with some doubts, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the things inside.

This...... Isn't this the Sumeru ring you saw at auction today?

"You bought this?" His eyes flashed.

"It'sβ€”it's weird! Lie to you! Tangram playfully stuck out her tongue.

"I've been practicing in the house all day, how can I go out and buy things? Suddenly there was a knock on the door today, and when I went out to look, there was this thing on the ground...... It seems to be a Sumeru ring inside, and it's useless for me to take it, so I'll give it to you. ”

"Did you see that man?"

"No......" Tangram shook his head.

The two talked for a while, and Zhu Bai told her some interesting things at the auction, and also told her about how she spent a lot of money at the auction today.

Qiqiao was very embarrassed to hear it, but in order not to show his stuffing, he still pretended to be very interested and listened attentively.

"Speaking of which, the person in the auction room is also thin and small, and his height and size are about the same as yours!" Zhu Bai suddenly muttered. "But I'm wearing a very wide robe and a hood, so I can't see what I look like or what I ...... figure or something."

"Hey, if only I were as rich as him!"

"I started dreaming before I closed my eyes, wash and sleep early!"

Zhu Bai nodded her forehead, saw that it was almost time to go to bed, and got up to go back.

Qiqiao sent him out of the door with a sweet smile, and after seeing him go back, he patted his chest exaggeratedly.

Scared her to death!

If it weren't for Zhu Bai following with such a sentence, so that Qiqiao was sure that he really didn't recognize himself, and thought he was here to trick her!

Zhu Bai pinched the box in his arms and returned to the room with a solemn face.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Ling was still waiting in his room, and when she saw that his expression was wrong, she immediately asked.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This one. ”

Zhu Bai took out the small box in his arms and opened it to show her.

Mu Ling gasped and almost shouted out in surprise: "This, this is not today?" ”

"She didn't leave the house herself today, and someone knocked on her door and brought it to her. It didn't work to hold it, so I gave it to me......"

"Do you really believe her? Did she know some hermit master who specially photographed this thing and sent it? ”

Mu Ling guessed unreliably, now that the plot has collapsed, the little girl is mysterious, and it would not be strange if there was any power behind it.

"How is that possible?" Zhu Bai shook his head, "If there was really someone behind her, she wouldn't have let her live in that kind of place for so many years." Moreover, the figure of the person we see today ......"

"It's really similar to her...... "Mu Ling understood what he wanted to say later.

"At first, I thought it was the children of a big sect or a big family who came out to join in the fun, but the Bai family had long since been wiped out, and no one even knew that there were survivors left, and then they stayed in the sect...... Who would send 800,000 high-grade spirit stones to her? ”

"But where did she get all this money? How many things do your sect distribute every month? ”

"That's even more impossible...... Zhu Bai smiled bitterly, "The little things sent by the sect are only enough for the disciples to cultivate every month, even if they save money, they can't save so much." ”

The two pondered for a long time, and suddenly, Zhu Bai looked over like Mu Ling's waist.

"What is this?" He pointed to what was hanging from Mu Ling's sword.

"Huh? It was also given by your little sister, I look very good-looking, and I hung it on the sword. ”

Zhu Bai's brows furrowed even deeper, and it took him a long time before he struggled to speak.

"The tassels of ice silk and the pendant of the spirit stone...... Are you really sure she sent it? ”

"Yes, I watched her buy it during the day when we went to the market...... Is it expensive? Mu Ling reacted consciously.

"It's not as good as what you have at auction, but it's expensive...... Thousands of high-grade spirit stones. Zhu Bai looked at Mu Ling's indifferent expression and almost cracked, and kindly added: "And these two things are hard to find, and if you buy them, you can earn them." ”

"This ...... Where the hell did she get so much money......"

"Who knows...... Maybe it's the Bai family's background......" Zhu Bai looked melancholy, and could only guess so.

The child is older, there is privacy, and it is difficult to manage!

Return? That's certainly impossible! The little sister's temperament will not accept the things returned.

This night, both of them lost sleep gorgeously because they received a gift from Qiqiao.
