Maybe it's because God rewards hard work, maybe it's accumulation, Huo Xiaolu's progress was almost invisible in the first few days, but after a week, he began to show his edge.
He didn't know what level he was in, he only knew that there was more and more appreciation in Yin Xiao's eyes, and from time to time his performance could also attract the admiration of the Yin Lord and Huo Liuli. Although it was a bit foggy, he was satisfied.
In addition to the hard work when practicing and training, the life in the Yin family is quite comfortable. The environment here is very good, there are mountains and rivers, the air is fresh, it is a good place for self-cultivation, Huo Xiaolu feels that he is about to integrate into it. The Yin Lord and Huo Liuli accompanied him to practice, helped him learn spells, and took him out for a ride from time to time, so that he was not completely isolated from the outside world. Except for not being able to see Yi Dye, Huo Xiaolu was very satisfied with everything, really.
The weather became hotter day by day, and when the sun set, it was getting later and later, and he accidentally noticed that Huo Liuli had put on a long skirt, and Huo Xiaolu realized that it was already summer.
"What! I've been living in your house for more than four months? ā
Three young people holding freshly squeezed juice sat in a row at the gate of Yin's house, blocking the middle of the road. Huo Xiaolu couldn't help but scream in surprise when he heard the Yin Lord say that it was almost June now.
While tasting the sweet and sour orange juice, the Yin Lord threw him a roll of his eyes: "Surprised, could it be that you just found out?" ā
Huo Xiaolu was speechless for a while, he really didn't pay attention. Here he lived a very fulfilling life, practicing under the supervision of Yin Xiao in the morning, going crazy with the Yin Lord and Huo Liuli in the afternoon, and getting drunk together in the evening, he couldn't help but ignore the passage of time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "That, it turns out that I've been bothering your house for so long?" ā
The Yin Lord waved his hand, his face full of indifference: "What bother, don't bother, if you don't come, Senior Sister Huo and I will be bored at home, how good is this, and there are people to have a good time together." ā
Huo Xiaolu also knew that the Yin family had a big business, so he wouldn't care about this, but he was a little reluctant in his heart. He thought for a moment and said, "By the way, I remembered, I was about to defend my graduation, and I had to go back to school." ā
"But there's no point in you going back now." Huo Liuli sucked the fresh juice in the cup with a straw and squinted her eyes.
Huo Xiaolu was a little puzzled: "How do you say this?" ā
Huo Liuli stretched out his hand, pinched his slender fingers and counted him while saying, "First, Yi Ran has something to do at home and asked for leave to go home, and you can't see her when you go back now; Second, there are still more than ten days left for your graduation defense, and you are going back a little early. Third, since it is a graduation defense, have you written your graduation thesis? ā
Huo Xiaolu looked at her blankly for a while, suddenly raised his head and drank the juice in the quilt, and then hurriedly walked inside.
The Yin Lord hurriedly asked him, "Why are you going?" ā
"Write your dissertation!" Huo Xiaolu didn't look back.
āā¦ā¦ā
He had written for an afternoon, and it wasn't until dusk that he came out of the room rubbing his eyes.
At this time, dinner was already ready, and Huo Liuli greeted him: "Why did you come out?" Just in time, it's time for dinner. ā
"Oh." He answered, and the whole person went to wash his face a little sluggishly, and his spirits were a little more uplifted, and he came back and sat down at the table.
Yin Xiao didn't come to dinner today, looking at the empty chair, Huo Xiaolu asked while dealing with a chicken wing, "Uncle Yin, why don't you come to dinner?" ā
Drinking all the juice in front of him, the Yin Lord smacked his lips and said, "Let's go to the lottery." ā
"Lottery? Do you do anything, do you draw lots to divide the fields? Huo Xiaolu gnawed on chicken wings and made his mouth full of oil.
Pouring himself another glass of juice, the Yin Lord explained to him, "As the juniors in the family, we need to complete a voluntary task every year, or a trial, which will also serve as a criterion for whether we can share the rights of the family. ā
"It's a midterm exam." Huo Xiaolu nodded to show that he understood, but then he thought of something, "No, haven't you become the impermanence of the Yin family, why do you still need to be assessed?" ā
At the mention of this Yin Lord, he couldn't help but sigh: "Don't mention it, I didn't need to be assessed originally, but this trial is for the younger generations in the family, and someone must complete it." And I'm not married, I don't have children, so I'm the only one to do. ā
Huo Xiaolu couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that it's not good to be in charge early, it's just a name." ā
Glaring at him weakly, the Yin Lord pursed his lips and muttered helplessly: "What do you think?" ā
After that, Huo Xiaolu didn't ask any more questions, and continued to bury his head in the struggle with the food on the plate. His dissertation was not finished yet, and he had to go back to writing it after dinner.
Quickly filling his stomach, Huo Xiaolu returned to the room with a large glass of juice, and in the morning, Yin Xiao told him that he didn't have to practice tomorrow, and he was going to finish his thesis overnight tonight.
While writing, he heard a voice outside, as if it was Yin Xiao coming back, he didn't care, and continued to write his paper. The Yin Lord's mission shouldn't start so quickly, so I'll ask him tomorrow.
His fingers kept tapping on the keyboard, and by the end of writing, Huo Xiaolu was already in a trance. At three o'clock in the morning, the paper was finally completed with more than a dozen pages, and after a cursory check, he turned off the computer, threw himself on the bed and immediately passed out.
This night, he slept so dimly that he could barely sleep. When he tried to open his eyelids and look at the wall clock, he found that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Sitting up and rubbing his sleepy eyes, Huo Xiaolu was also surprised that he had slept for more than ten hours?
I staggered out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.
Coming to the living room, Huo Ruri was quietly reading a book. As soon as he saw him get up, Huo Liuli couldn't help but tease him: "Young Master Huo, are you still willing to get up?" ā
Scratching his head a little embarrassed, Huo Xiaolu also felt a little embarrassed, and he asked, "What about the Yin Lord?" ā
"I'm going to do his trial mission."
Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu's eyes widened, and he asked with some surprise, "So anxious?" I thought he wouldn't leave in two days. ā
"This time things are a little anxious, I can't help it." Huo Liuli's face was also full of helplessness, "Hungry, right?" If there is food in the kitchen, you should put the mat first. ā
Huo Xiaolu nodded, slipped into the kitchen and found a bag of bread, poured himself a glass of milk, and began to feast.
"Eat slowly, don't choke, no one will rob you." Looking at his gobbling appearance, Huo Liuli said with a smile.
After quickly solving a slice of bread and drinking a large sip of milk, the hunger in Huo Xiaolu's stomach weakened slightly, and he asked Huo Liuli: "What is the task of the Yin Lord, why are you in such a hurry?" ā
The smile on Huo Liuli's face narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Kill." ā
Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu choked on himself without swallowing a mouthful of bread, and hurriedly drank a large mouthful of milk. Finally getting the food down, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Isn't it a trial, how can you still kill people? ā
Putting the books in his hand together and putting them aside, Huo Liuli gently moved his somewhat stiff cervical vertebrae, and said with a light smile: "Don't be nervous, he didn't kill innocents indiscriminately, that person deserves to die." ā
Huo Xiaolu's brows furrowed: "But this ...... It's murder anyway! "He didn't know how to express himself.
Huo Liuli looked at him, still chuckling and said, "Then what if he killed a devil?" ā
Huo Xiaolu was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What do you mean?" ā
"The sixth elder of the Fire Family, you also know her, she is the target of the Yin Lord this time." Huo Liuli simply told him directly.
After being stunned for a moment, Huo Xiaolu asked, "Is there any evidence?" ā
Huo Liuli nodded, and his smiling eyes were full of coldness: "That old guy actually used the baby's brain marrow to refine medicine, and he was caught, and now he is being hunted down, and Brother Yin's task is to find her and make her disappear." ā
In this way, Huo Xiaolu would be able to understand the Yin Lord's task, but when he thought of the perverted behavior of the six elders, he was inexplicably a little sick to his stomach. He asked, "However, isn't that Sixth Elder from your Fire Family, why did you let Yin take the initiative?" ā
"It's not because of you," Huo Liuli glanced at him, "Originally, it was indeed not the Yin family's turn to take care of this matter, but didn't the old woman who didn't know whether she was alive or dead come to threaten you when you first came a few months ago, and Uncle Yin discussed with our family and asked for this task and left it to the Yin Lord." ā
Huo Xiaolu was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say for a while. After thinking about it, he asked tentatively, "However, it seems that the Yin Lord can't beat that six elders. ā
"Yes, his strength is a little worse than that old guy." Huo Liuli's words were very casual, as natural as eating and drinking.
Although he didn't understand why Huo Liuli wasn't worried at all, he couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't it be very dangerous for the Yin Lord to do this?" ā
"That's right." Huo Liuli gave him an affirmative look.
frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason, but he couldn't eat. Huo Xiaolu finally asked, "Aren't you worried about the Yin Lord?" ā
"Worried," Huo Liuli glanced at him, a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, "But, don't you know?" The goal of quasi-impermanent trials is always beyond the scope of one's own strength on paper. ā
Huo Xiaolu looked at her stunned, unable to say a word.
Huo Liuli reopened the book, as if talking to himself, and as if explaining to him: "For the peak combat power of the Impermanence Family, the limit is a normal situation for them, and challenging those seemingly impossible tasks is their pursuit." ā
The room was silent, so quiet that you could hear the breathing and heartbeats of the two of them, and even the occasional flip through the book was harsh.
After a long time, Huo Xiaolu's weak voice sounded: "You guys...... Are they all so perverted? ......" (To be continued.) )
