"Okay, come and eat, and then care about your little princess after eating. Mo Yixi dragged out the last note, holding a plate of meat and vegetable dishes, and behind him was a woman in a purple dress, who was holding a stone pot of fragrant chicken soup.

The woman is the former saint of Nanzhao Kingdom, named Ming Yuanqing, and she is Qing'er's senior sister, and she also knows something about Mo Yixi's going out a few days ago.

Ming Yuan smiled lightly and put the food away, took Anu's hand and sat on the edge of the table, stretched out his hand and poked her little head, and commanded: "Your father said that the princess is not in danger, but you still don't believe it?" Now you can rest assured, right? Eat quickly. ”

"Hmph." Anu wrinkled his nose and muttered, "Who knows if Dad is drunk and talking nonsense?" ”

However, she still didn't start eating, but instead stretched out her hand to stop Mo Yixi and Ming Yuanqing, and said with a flattering smile: "Daddy, don't eat it yet, I feel that the princess is approaching us, wait for this chicken soup, Anu wants to give it to Ling'er to drink." ”

"Huh? Why, Ling'er, they came back so soon? Didn't you say that your disciple still needs some time to sharpen himself? Ming Yuanqing was a little puzzled, and looked sideways at Mo Yixi, who was also surprised.

"Don't look at me, they haven't made up their minds to come when I'm leaving."

Mo Yixi pursed his mouth and reluctantly put down his chopsticks, "This kid is really a debt collector, then let's cook a few more dishes, there are a lot of them, these dishes are definitely not enough to eat." ”

"That's too." Ming Yuanqing came back to his senses, nodded and entered the kitchen again. Although she and the Wine Sword Immortal have cultivated well and don't need to eat too much, they still understand this hospitality.

"I'll help you."

Mo Yixi looked at Anu who was tirelessly playing with his fingers, shook his head, took a sip of Miao Jiang's wine, turned around and followed, and a puff of oil smoke rose in the kitchen again.

After a while, Anu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the speed and strength of her finger hooks also increased, showing the excitement in her heart.

"Yay!"

Anu jumped up happily, ran straight out of the bamboo house, and looked around, but after a glance, there was no one except for the dark night and the Shi Gonghu family with candles not far away.

"How could it be, Anu obviously sensed that the princess was nearby."

She furrowed her nose and brow in disappointment, and stamped her foot hard, but then, feeling something, she jerked her head up at the sky.

Under the light of the moon and stars in the sky, a faint golden light gradually expanded, and the closer the golden light became, the more obvious the traction of her fingers became.

She didn't have to think much about it, she could be sure, it was Ling'er.

"Eat well! What are you doing looking around? Shi Gonghu slapped the table violently, and the wine glasses and wine cups on the table kept jumping up, making a crisp sound.

Tang Yu was startled, and hurriedly buried his head in the rice, and no longer dared to peek into the opposite side from the gap in the living room.

"I never ask too much of you, I just want you to pass on what I've learned all my life."

Shi Gonghu sighed, pressed the table with one hand, and entered the wine glass with the other, with a warm and angry look on his face, and said, "But what about you?" Addicted to women all day long, he is not attentive to martial arts, and he is also a child when he studies the art of war. If you do this again, leave Nanzhao with me, unless I die, you don't even want to see Anu again! ”

"Father-in-law, the child doesn't dare." Tang Yu knew that Shi Gonghu was hurt by his brother-in-law Shi Jieren, and he didn't dare to speak out, so he had to admit his mistake and relent.

"Don't dare?"

Shi Gonghu smiled suddenly, his eyes were slightly red, he slapped Tang Yu's shoulder, pinched it hard, and thought of something, suddenly let go of his palm again, and drank the wine silently, his expression gloomy.

He has been fighting all his life, and he has always been a dictator in his life, and after experiencing the failed education of Shi Jieren, although Shi Gonghu does not think that he is wrong, he still has some self-blame, so for Tang Yu, his desire to control is much smaller.

"I hope ...... Kindness? ”

Shi Gonghu paused, turned his head to look outside, but except for the small window, there was not much outside sight in the bamboo house.

"Someone is here, it should be the same sword method as Mo Daochang." Tang Yu looked sideways and said in a low voice.

"Maybe it's his brother." Shi Gonghu nodded clearly, they had seen many times over the years, the Wine Sword Immortal Imperial Sword and the ability to control the gourd, and they could more or less distinguish it.

He turned his head, looked at Tang Yu and scolded, "Concentrate on eating." ”

At this moment, in the sparse bamboo forest outside, the wind sword landed and set off a wave of wind, blowing the grass and bamboo on the ground to bend their heads, a girl wearing a vermilion gown and an off-white robe inside stretched out her hand to block the strong wind, while looking at the sword with wide eyes.

On the broad, flat blade of the sword sat three people she had never seen before.

Anu thought for a moment, carefully hooked her fingers, and saw that the girl among the three of them also moved her fingers, she immediately rejoiced, and without waiting for the blade to stop and put away, she ran over in two steps.

"Princess, Ling'er, it's really you."

Anu had a clear purpose, and pounced on Zhao Ling'er, who was in a dazed state, this move caused Li Xiaoyao to lose color suddenly, and just now his fingers moved, wanting to stay away from the sword, but Xia Jie reached out and pressed him, reminding: "Don't be impulsive, this is your sword immortal master's daughter and Ling'er's friend." ”

"Ahh Is this the Anu? Li Xiaoyao nodded knowingly, he had never seen Anu's appearance, and it was just an instinctive reaction in a hurry.

When Ling'er heard this, she looked at Anu with an innocent face and a smile, and she didn't doubt him, so she jumped off the flying sword and fell to the ground to meet him.

"Let's go, this time I saw the Wine Sword Immortal, he will definitely be surprised by your current cultivation."

Xia Jie watched the two girls holding hands and turning in circles, smiled, turned his head sideways to Li Xiaoyao and said, "During this time, you can also follow him and learn other spells from Shushan, like the spells and formations that you couldn't cast before, and now they are enough to use." ”

Li Xiaoyao, who put away the flying sword and put it in the scabbard behind his back, suddenly laughed and said happily: "Spell? Just like Brother Xia, did you use that 'corset' before? ”

"Yes, this is also a kind of spell, like the Xuanguang Mirror you saw on Fairy Spirit Island before, these are all spells. As for the formation, do you remember the weird waves around Xianling Island? That's the formation. ”

Xia Jie nodded, and while answering, he walked towards the bamboo house behind Anu, in the window of the bamboo house, Jiujian Immortal was holding the handle of the pot in one hand, burying his head in the stir-fry.

Seeing Xia Jie and Li Xiaoyao walking straight to the bamboo house, Anu also happily pulled Ling'er to follow.

At this moment, she finally believed that what the drink-loving father said was true, among the two, the younger one with the sword on his back should be the apprentice he took outside, and the other man with a calmer temperament should be the friend he said ten years ago.

In the bamboo house, the previous dishes on the table were reheated, and a few more dishes with Miao Jiang characteristics were added.

Although we haven't seen each other for a few days, there are people we don't know on both sides, so during the meal, there are also some due etiquette and chatter.

"Thank you two for sending Ling'er back all the way, the concubine has thanked the two benefactors here." Ming Yuanqing looked at Li Xiaoyao and Xia Jie, and couldn't help but think of the scene where they appeared with Jiujian Immortal ten years ago, and thanked him sincerely.

"Nothing, as it should be."

Looking at the well-behaved and lovely Anu, and then looking at Ming Yuanqing, who was in his prime and had a holy and elegant temperament, Xia Jie finally knew why Jiujian Immortal had rarely returned to Shushan in the past ten years, and it was estimated that it would be the same if he was anyone in the world.

After the dinner, Ling'er and the others were talking in the house.

Mo Yixi, Li Xiaoyao, and Xia Jie walked out of the bamboo house by themselves, and ate by the way with the smell of wine.

Walking to the mountainside while chatting, Mo Yixi suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyao in horror, and said in a lost voice: "What? Have you been doing it for more than forty years? Is there such a magical Gu worm in this world? ”

"Master, this is thanks to Ling'er and Brother Xia, if they hadn't subdued the monster and let the Demon Eater Gu transition path work for me, I wouldn't have been able to practice so fast."

Li Xiaoyao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, and then pleaded: "That...... Master, the disciples of the Shushan Sword Technique have all been able to use it, quickly teach me the spells behind,"

Mo Yixi did not immediately agree to Li Xiaoyao's request, but turned his head to Xia Jie and asked:

"If he is like this, will it cause Daoji to be unstable and go mad in the future?"

Although this method of transmitting gong is a bit incredible, Xia Jie's strength is above him, and it will not harm Li Xiaoyao, so Mo Yixi does not think that there are any hidden dangers in such a method, but he is a little worried about Li Xiaoyao's future.

"No, it won't." Xia Jie shook his head directly in denial and replied: "If you receive too much, it may cause him to lose control of his mana, or even explode and die." But it's just a few decades of cultivation, and with his talent, he can turn it into his own in less than a year of concentration. ”

"Among the three practice methods in Shushan, he has a unique talent for 'practicing martial arts', and what is restricted is only 'practicing qi' and 'cultivating the spirit'. And the way of Qi cultivation takes too long, and a little acceleration is also conducive to him to focus the rest of his time on 'cultivating the spirit', perhaps in this way, it is more conducive to him to realize his own Dao. ”

"That's also the reason why I brought him here now, and I haven't been hunting demons to improve his cultivation."

"This ......"

Mo Yixi's eyes widened, he gasped, and nodded in confusion.

He has never seen a freak like Li Xiaoyao, he can learn any move as soon as he learns, and he will be fine as soon as he practices, and now at the level of mana, he has the help of Xia Jie and Ling'er, and in just a short period of time, he has accumulated half a lifetime of Taoism for ordinary people, how can he be a pervert.

"I understand the purpose of his coming here, but what about you? I thought you were going to stay in Suzhou for a while, why are you here now? ”

"Me?"

Xia Jie smiled suddenly, raised his hand, and a ball of light rotated alternately in purple and earthy yellow in the palm of his hand, and the brilliant halo sprinkled on the bamboo forest in the dark night, like a beautiful screen.
