Chapter XXVI
People who drink a lot like to talk nonsense.
What hypocrisy, sadness, sadness, indignation, sadness, all are said without thinking about it.
Therefore, many people often wake up drunk, once they recall the experience of drunkenness, they will have regrets, or they want to find a crack to get into.
It's just that after a few days, each other seems to forget about this and continue to repeat the same mistakes.
But Xia Fan never regretted what he said when he was drunk.
In his opinion.
Human beings are inherently multifaceted and complex.
Each seemingly different self is the real self.
You like yourself, you don't like yourself.
Actually, it's all you.
Why can't you face yourself openly?
You can live clearly and understandably.
Why care about the eyes and opinions of others?
Especially after reaching the realm of Xia Fan, how many people in the world can point fingers at him?
Maybe some people will call his behavior a superior demeanor.
What is life?
This topic is wide-spaced.
After sobering up.
Xia Fan didn't care about the words he said to Peaches yesterday.
It's the question he asked, as if he had heard it somewhere.
I thought about it for a long time.
He finally remembered.
Isn't this a question that some one god in a previous life would have asked a certain 15-year-old at the same time?
The difference is that there are two more words of meaning in Xia Fan's question.
But it doesn't feel any different.
Just as Xia Fan didn't care if Peaches could understand it, because he just wanted to relieve his emotions.
The next day was pure as if nothing happened.
If Peach takes the initiative to mention it, Xia Fan will naturally answer all questions.
However, Momoko is a sensible and interesting girl.
has been taking care of Xia Fan to wake up, and Peaches never mentioned the nonsense he said when he was drunk yesterday.
At least on the surface, they still get along with each other as naturally as usual.
Over time.
When the carriage entered the territory of the Asuka Dynasty.
Xia Fan did not return to Linwu Villa as soon as possible, nor did he go to White Bird City, where he had lived for more than 20 years.
"Shopkeeper, what is this place?"
After the carriage came to a slow stop.
Momoko stepped out of the carriage and was shocked to find the carriage parked in a remote alley.
"Lanyuan City. ”
Moment.
Xia Fan's lazy voice came from the carriage.
The moment he stepped out of the carriage, he snapped his fingers casually, and the carriage beside him disappeared out of thin air in an instant.
"You ...... Shopkeeper"
Peaches suddenly stared at Xia Fan with a stunned expression.
But what shocked her was not Xia Fan's means to make the carriage disappear, but his face.
Because.
Xia Fan who stepped down from the carriage was the young version of Xia Fan in his prime.
He was dressed in a clean white robe, his long and messy hair was neatly combed, and his handsome and heroic face no longer had the decadent color it had before.
"How's it going? Is this outfit handsome?"
Xia Fan opened his hands and seemed to look at his outfit with satisfaction.
“......”
Momoko opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a while.
"Oh, yes, there's one thing missing. ”
In the process of self-examination, Xia Fan suddenly showed a sudden look, only to see him stretch out his hand, and a long sword with a simple shape appeared in his hand inexplicably.
"The shopkeeper's ...... You're ......."
Momoko finally came back to her senses, and she stumbled a little between her words.
"Didn't I just change into a vest, so you won't recognize me?"
Xia Fan said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"No, the shopkeeper, it's just ......"
Peaches hurriedly wanted to explain, but as soon as the words came out, she spat out.
"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind right now, don't worry, I will tell you slowly if you want to know. ”
Xia Fan raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.
"And from this moment on, don't call me the shopkeeper anymore. ”
“...... What should you call a peach?"
Momoko was stunned.
"Childe, senior brother, cousin or whatever. ”
Xia Fan touched his smooth chin and said.
“...... Then Peaches should be called Childe. ”
Momoko hesitated for a moment.
"Yes, very conscious, let's go now. ”
Xia Fan stretched his body and walked straight out of the alley.
Seeing this, Peaches naturally hurriedly followed.
Not much.
The two of them went to one of the best inns in the area.
"The shopkeeper... Son...... There are so many guests at this inn and it's ......"
Inside the private room.
Shortly after entering the door.
Momoko breathed a sigh of relief.
"And all of them are cultivators who don't seem to have low cultivation, right?"
Xia Fan Shi sat down at the table and said.
"Yes, in the face of these people's gazes just now, Peaches almost ran out of breath. ”
Momoko said with a little palpitation.
"It's okay, isn't there still me. ”
Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and said.
Maybe it's this good-looking relationship.
As soon as he and Momoko stepped into the inn lobby, they instantly attracted countless eyes.
Although most people's eyes quickly turned away, there were still a few people whose eyes stayed back and forth between him and Peaches.
Peaches is just a martial artist who has just gotten a glimpse of the doorway, and it is naturally difficult to withstand the invisible pressure brought by the gaze of others.
Wait until you enter the private room.
All eyes disappeared before she could finally catch her breath.
"Childe, what the hell are they doing, why are there so many cultivators gathered in one inn? ”
Momoko calmed down a little and said.
"Of course, I came to participate in the alliance held by the Wuhua Sect. ”
Xia Fan said casually.
"Huimeng?"
Momoko wondered.
"Encircle and suppress the alliance of Tsing Yi Lou, maybe by the way, I will form a gang to make an alliance. ”
Xia Fan said casually.
“......”
Momoko nodded in understanding.
"All in all, this Wuhua Sect wants to make trouble, if it just does Tsing Yi Lou, forget it, but it also hits me with the idea, in order to avoid trouble, so I plan to strike first. ”
Xia Fan said in a calm tone.
"Shopkeeper, you ......"
Peaches instantly changed color when she heard her words, and she even forgot to change her name.
"Don't worry, it's just a small thing, and it will settle down soon, which is why I am the way I am. ”
Xia Fan waved his hand disappreciatively.
"Shopkeeper, you're really going to be fine, right?"
Momoko still couldn't rest assured, and said worriedly.
"Look at what you said, I won't be okay if they have anything. ”
Xia Fan pouted.
“...... That's why you're the shopkeeper who you are now?"
Peaches was silent for a long time, looking at Xia Fandao with complicated eyes.
"That's just one aspect of the story. ”
Xia Fan smiled softly at Peaches.
"On the other hand, I want to give you a chance to get to know me better. ”
“...... Shopkeeper, in fact, you are already very good. ”
Momoko bit her lip and said.
"That's because you still know too little about me. ”
Xia Fan shook his head and said.
"Momoko, we've known each other for years, but do you know what my real name is?"
“......”
Momoko fell silent for a moment.
Yes.
She only knew the shopkeeper's surname Xia, but she never knew the shopkeeper's name, let alone his specific origin.
And not only her.
It seems that all those who know the shopkeeper do not know.
But it's been a long time together.
People don't take these things to heart anymore.
The so-called name is just a code name.
You can call him Lao Xia, Xia shopkeeper, shopkeeper, etc.
These Xia Fan have no opinions.
So is it really important to know his name?
What's more, what can be found by a single name?
After all, there are many people with the same name and surname in the world, who knows which one he is.
Everyone is willing to contact Xia Fan and like Xia Fan.
Not because of the origin of his name, but because of his style.
Other.
Does it matter?
In the past, Peaches didn't think it was important, but now when Xia Fan said it solemnly.
Momoko suddenly discovered.
She seems to know too little about the shopkeeper.
“...... Shopkeeper, can you tell Momoko your real name?"
Peaches takes a deep breath.
"Xia Fan, summer of summer, mortal Fan. ”
Xia Fan said in a flat tone.
"It's a very common name, but it's not common in different places, and in different places. ”
"Xia Fan ......"
Momoko couldn't help but murmur after hearing this.
"Speaking of which, in more than 20 years, you were the first person to know my real name. ”
Xia Fan said softly.
“...... Is it Momoko's honor?"
Peaches looked at Xia Fandao in a daze.
"It's not about honor, it's all about what I want to say or what I don't want to say. ”
Xia Fan smiled.
"When I want to say it, and someone asks about it, then naturally I won't continue to hide it, after all, there is nothing to hide in the first place. ”
He lied.
The last sentence.
Xia Fan did deliberately conceal his name.
It was nothing more than a cautious relationship, and he was deeply afraid that the sect headed by Xuantianmen in Nanlizhou would bite him and break the process of refining his heart that he had finally stabilized.
“......”
Xia Fan's explanation made Peach's mood a little depressed.
It's just that she disguises it well.
There is nothing unusual on the surface.
Originally.
I'm not the special one in his heart.
Momoko thought to herself.
If you like someone, you naturally want to occupy a special position in the other person's heart.
In case there is none.
It shows that the other person doesn't really like you.
She doesn't care about Xia Fan's past, she doesn't care about everything about Xia Fan, she only cares about whether the other party has herself in her heart.
Feelings are so easy to blind.
Even though she already knew the answer.
But she still can't help but have expectations.
I hope to get the answers I want.
How.
Once again, she was disappointed.
......
As one of the few major sects in the Asuka Dynasty.
In the name of exterminating Tsing Yi Lou, Wuhuazong invited his colleagues to hold an alliance, which was naturally magnificent.
But I don't know why.
The Wuhua Sect did not place the place where the alliance was held in the sect.
Instead, he chose to be in Lanyuan City.
Although Lanyuan City is thousands of miles away from Wuhuazong.
Kelan Yuan City is a city under the direct control of the Wuhua Sect.
Basically, most of the outer disciples of the Wuhua Sect were assigned to Lanyuan City, so that Lanyuan City, a secular city, gradually underwent a transformation, although the number of mortals in Lanyuan City still occupied the mainstream, but the number of cultivators was also not a few.
After all, under the creation of Wuhua Sect.
Lanyuan City is already equivalent to an alternative market, which is why it attracts a large number of cultivators.
Now Wuhua Sect has chosen to place the venue of the alliance in Lanyuan City.
This doesn't seem strange to other practitioners.
"Palm...... Childe, can we just watch here and not enter the venue?"
Following.
Xia Fan took the peach to a high pavilion and looked at the venue in front of him where a large number of cultivators had gathered.
There was a large array in the venue, and disciples wearing Wuhua Sect costumes could be seen patrolling back and forth everywhere.
Peach looked at it dryly for a long time, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xia Fandao, who was beside him.
"After all, we don't have an invitation letter from Wuhua Sect. ”
Xia Fan said as a matter of course.
"Besides, even if you enter the venue, do you want to listen to the people of the Wuhua Sect talking endlessly on the stage?"
"And why are we staying here?"
Momoko wondered even more.
"Look at the excitement. ”
Xia Fan smiled intriguingly.
"Lively?"
Momoko frowned lightly.
"It's time for us to play. ”
Xia Fan tilted his head and glanced at the peach road that had passed through his disguise.
Peach didn't ask what the excitement in Xia Fan's mouth was.
Because it wasn't long after.
And she knew.
When the invited sect members entered the venue one after another, the entire surrounding venue fell into a state of martial law.
Due to the arrangement of the venue, there is a large array.
At the beginning of the Alliance.
The Great Array cut off all perception and detection from outsiders.
So in the eyes of the peaches.
In the distance, the venue seemed to be shrouded in a gray mist.
However, the large array could isolate the perception of ordinary cultivators, but it could not isolate Xia Fan.
"It's coming. ”
Xia Fan, who was silently watching the venue, suddenly said something inexplicably.
What's coming?
The peach beside him was immediately stunned.
Immediately afterward, her body involuntarily felt a shaking, and she heard a loud noise that shook the sky.
Bang Bang Bang –
And the source of the loud noise is in the venue.
"Is it a high-concentration aura compressed explosive? It's worthy of a bear, I just provided a research direction, I didn't expect her to really make this kind of thing. ”
Xia Fan, who was staring at the venue, sighed for no reason.
Today, the venue is in shambles, with ruins and corpses everywhere.
No doubt.
It was a premeditated attack.
The attackers even cleverly used the large array of the venue to lock the power of the aura explosives in the venue.
"Shaft dares!"
When the loud bang ended shortly after.
A deep and low shout suddenly echoed in the sky above the entire Lanyuan City.
"It's time for us to play. ”
said.
Xia Fan suddenly grabbed Peach's hand, and disappeared above the attic of the high platform in an instant.
This time the attack on the venue may seem simple, but in practice it is very complicated.
To make sure nothing goes wrong.
The mastermind is bound to be in the vicinity of the scene to control everything himself.
How.
You have a good plan, and people have a wall ladder.
Isn't this so-called alliance a trap set by others?
