"Shopkeeper, the demon has reappeared. ”

Half a month later.

Xia Fan almost forgot about the time when the demon was gone.

Unexpectedly, Ah Chao suddenly ran over and told him about it.

"The Wuhua Sect has finally found the whereabouts of the other party?"

In front of a quiet and elegant house.

Xia Fan was sitting on a low stool, holding a carving knife in his hand and carving the wood in his hand attentively, and asked without raising his head.

Woodcarving.

This is one of Xia Fan's hobbies that he uses to pass the time in his spare time.

But the wood carvings he carved were eccentric.

At least in the eyes of Dong Cailing and others, his so-called wood carvings are completely strange things.

In Xia Fan's words.

This is called reading as wood carving, writing figurines.

It's a pity that Dong Cailing and others don't know what a figure is, and Xia Fan doesn't bother to explain.

Today.

This room has become Xia Fan's handmade house.

There is nothing in the room except for the figurines and the shelves on which they are placed.

"The other party took the initiative to appear, not Wuhuazong's discovery. ”

Ah Chao said expressionlessly.

"Oh?"

Xia Fan blew on the wood carving that was gradually forming in his hand, and after blowing off the sawdust on it, he suddenly revealed the image of a girl holding a thin sword in a heroic posture.

"Three days ago, the other party took the initiative to appear in the area of Guangping Mountain, and at the same time slaughtered the Guangyang Sect located in Guangping Mountain, and the Taishang Elder of the Guangyang Sect died in battle in order to cover the escape of the disciples in the sect......"

Ah Chao immediately spoke eloquently.

"The Wuhua Sect, who got the news, sent people to rescue as soon as possible, but it turned out to be empty, but it is said that the Wuhua Sect has already mastered the whereabouts of the other party, and it is estimated that new news will come in the next two days. ”

"Do you know where that demon is fleeing?"

Xia Fan carved the rough details on the wood carving little by little.

"North. ”

Ah Chao said without hesitation.

"North?"

The carving knife in Xia Fan's hand paused for a moment, and then he moved again.

"I remember that the Guangyang Sect is located south of the Forest Misty Villa. ”

"Yes. ”

Ah Chao said without thinking.

"According to the demon's escape route, do you think the other party will escape to the area of Linwu Villa in the future?"

Xia Fan said in a nonchalant tone.

"It's possible. ”

Ah Chao said in a deep voice.

"I hope I don't have to say it. ”

Xia Fan stopped the carving knife in his hand and blew off the remaining wood chips on the wood carving.

A lifelike girl with a sword appeared in front of her.

He nodded with a slight satisfaction.

I conjured up a brush and was ready to start coloring.

"The True Monarch who used to go to the Cloud Sect has personally joined the search team. ”

Ah Chao added suddenly.

"But we can't expect to kill that demon halfway. ”

Xia Fan said absent-mindedly.

Chestnut-colored hair with eyes.

Red and white dresses with sleeves and stockings......

You can't make a mistake about the color.

"I'll keep an eye on this demon at all times. ”

Ah Chao said meticulously.

"You do things, I don't worry. ”

Xia Fan said perfunctorily.

"If there's nothing else to do, you go down first. ”

"Yes!"

After speaking.

Ah Chao turned around and left without hesitation.

Leaving Xia Fan alone, he continued to carefully color the wood carving in his hand.

I don't know how long it took.

Dong Cailing hurried over.

"Husband...... The demon appeared......"

"I already know. ”

Without waiting for Dong Cailing to finish speaking, Xia Fan spoke directly.

"Husband already knows?"

Dong Cailing was stunned for a moment.

"Ah Chao came to tell me about this just now. ”

Xia Fan said directly.

“...... I see, I wonder what my husband thinks of this demon appearing again?"

Dong Cailing took a deep breath and airway.

"What do you think? Sit, of course. ”

Xia Fan, who was sitting on a low stool and coloring the wood carvings without distraction, said casually.

“......”

Dong Cailing couldn't help but fall silent when she heard this.

She didn't pursue it further.

Instead, he stood quietly aside, his eyes focused on Xia Fan's colored wood carving.

A girl's wood carving?

Looks like a sword cultivator?

She knew that Xia Fan had carved a lot of wood carvings, but the wood carvings in front of her were one of the few that looked relatively normal.

"Whew...... It's finally done. ”

After completing the final step of the coloring work.

Xia Fan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before sending it to the shade, he also looked at his masterpiece with great interest.

“...... Husband, what is the origin of this wood carving?"

Seeing this, Dong Cailing asked seemingly casually.

"Her name is Asuna, and she's a very cute girl. ”

Xia Fan carefully looked at the wood carving figure in front of him to see if there were any details that needed to be filled.

"Asuna, what a strange name......"

Dong Cailing muttered softly.

"Could it be that this girl is an old acquaintance of her husband?"

"Old acquaintances?, it should be counted.,Anyway, I'm probably going to never see her again in my life.,Alas,I miss her book so much......"

Xia Fan touched his chin and said.

“......”

Hearing Xia Fan saying something incomprehensible again, Dong Cailing, who was speechless, had to take the opportunity to change the topic.

"Husband, do you really have no opinion on the matter of demons?"

"What do I wish I could think?"

Xia Fan glanced at Dong Cailing and said.

"Cailing, I know you're worried about the unknown consequences that this demon might cause, the question is whether it's useful to worry? After all, this is not something you can mix in, you just need to be yourself, and everything else is still with me. ”

“...... Cailing understood. ”

Dong Cailing was silent for a long time.

"Husband, Cailing has left beforehand. ”

"Let's shrink the garrison as much as possible lately. ”

Looking at the lost back of Dong Cailing turning away, Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Cailing knows. ”

Dong Cailing's footsteps were stagnant.

But she didn't look back, and took a new step forward.

How much ability to do how much you can do.

A lot of things are done within your means.

But Dong Cailing doesn't seem to understand this.

Maybe.

She was deeply aware of Xia Fan's difference.

I can't help but improve my vision and pattern.

But she forgot something.

Xia Fan is Xia Fan.

She is her.

Although they are husband and wife.

But this doesn't mean that everything about Xia Fan is her own.

Xia Fan is qualified to judge the demon in this matter, and that is because he has this strength.

What about Dong Cailing?

She wasn't even an innate great grandmaster.

Of course.

As a human monk.

She is naturally qualified to care about the affairs of demons.

But she couldn't put herself at the level of Xia Fan or Wuhua Sect to care.

It's still the same sentence.

Was her concern useful?

What she needs is to recognize herself and recognize reality.

I don't know if it has been directly or indirectly helped by Xia Fan over the years, so that Dong Cailing, who has been smooth sailing, has gradually swelled.

When people swell, they tend to get carried away.

Now after discovering the signs, Xia Fan will inevitably pinch it out.

Therefore.

It's time for him to have a good talk with Dong Chae-ling.

Didn't say it before.

It's nothing more than a matter of the occasion.

After nightfall.

Not long after dinner, Xia Fan didn't go anywhere, but returned directly to Dong Cailing's boudoir.

He sat at the table, casually eating the dim sum and dried fruit on the table.

Not much.

Dong Cailing, who finished explaining the matter, also returned to the room.

"Sit. ”

Dong Cailing just entered the house.

Xia Fan pointed to the position beside him.

Perhaps keenly aware of the difference in the atmosphere, Dong Cailing slowly came to Xia Fan and sat down without saying a word.

"During the day, I have a bit of a problem with the way I speak, and I'm sorry to say to you. ”

Xia Fan took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Dong Cailing and handed it over.

“...... Husband, it is too much for husband and wife to say that they are too foreign. ”

Dong Cailing undoubtedly frightened Xia Fan's polite attitude, and there was a trace of trilling in his words.

"You're right, the husband and wife said that these things are indeed too foreign, so I won't talk to you with an outsider attitude in the future. ”

Xia Fan said lightly.

“...... What do you want to say to Cailing tonight?"

Dong Cailing said worriedly.

"Cailing, we've been married for several years, right?"

Xia Fan drank the tea ceremony unhurriedly.

"Yes, five years to be exact. ”

Dong Cailing bit her lip and said.

"Five years, it's a pity, I still haven't touched you in these five years. ”

Xia Fan put down the teacup and looked at Dong Cailing seriously with his eyes.

Five years have passed.

Dong Chae-ling's appearance has not changed in any way.

The only thing that has changed is the temperament that exudes from her.

After all, she has not been the owner of the village for the past five years.

The majesty of the superior is often shown invisibly.

Of course.

In front of Xia Fan.

Her majesty was like a milk cat yelling at me.

“......”

Hear this.

Dong Cailing's head hung even lower.

"Cailing, in the past five years, you have gradually become a qualified owner, but unfortunately, you have not become the qualified wife I imagined......"

Xia Fan said slowly.

"Of course, I understand all this, after all, the days ahead are still long, and with everything in the villa on the right track, and now you are starting to spend more time with me, and in the long run, it's hard to say if I will really have feelings for you......"

"Husband......

Dong Cailing raised her head and looked at Xia Fandao with a stunned gaze.

"But, Cailing, have you noticed that you have changed?"

Xia Fan said softly.

"I know that people change, but some people are getting better and better, and some people are getting worse and worse, and what about you, Cailing? ”

“...... Does the husband hate the current Cailing?"

Dong Cailing couldn't help but feel a little panic in her heart.

"I can't talk about hate, but it's true that my favor has decreased. ”

Xia Fan said calmly.

“...... Husband, what did Cailing do wrong?"

Dong Cailing choked up suddenly, and her eyes were full of crystal tears.

"You didn't do anything wrong, you just accidentally lost yourself. ”

Xia Fan had an extra clean handkerchief in his hand out of thin air, and then gently wiped the tears from the corners of Dong Cailing's eyes.

"Lost ......"

Dong Cailing couldn't help but fall into silence after hearing this.

"Need I be clearer?"

Although Xia Fan said it quite tactfully, he didn't mean to play dumb riddles with Dong Cailing.

It's best to understand nature.

He didn't understand, so he broke it open and crumpled it and told her.

“...... Cailing probably knows what her husband wants to say. ”

Dong Cailing shook his head and said.

"In that case, I'll just leave you alone to be quiet. ”

After speaking.

Xia Fan got up and walked outside the house.

Soon.

He came to a gazebo, sat down for a while, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"Shopkeeper, there's new news. ”

Ah Chao suddenly appeared in the gazebo unconsciously to report.

Say. ”

Xia Fan said lazily.

"The Wuhua Sect successfully searched for the whereabouts of that demon, and the accompanying Shangyun Sect True Monarch immediately took action to suppress it, and as a result, that demon fought a big battle with the Shangyun Sect True Monarch, and finally escaped without a trace under the defeat of both sides. ”

Ah Chao said in a deep voice.

"That demon is really hiding his strength. ”

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.

Instead of cleaning up the other party, a Yuan Infant Realm monk let the other party fight and escape?

If this demon is really a half-step human immortal's cultivation realm.

The chances of this Yuan Infant Realm cultivator missing out are very small, let alone losing both.

"Yes, it is said that this demon broke through to the realm of human immortals at a critical juncture. ”

Ah Chao nodded.

"What about the Tribulation?"

Xia Fan said casually.

"Nope. ”

Ah Chao said decisively.

"Hehe, there is not even a catastrophe, and he is still breaking through the battle and fooling the ghosts. ”

Xia Fan pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"Now that the true monarch of the Shangyun Sect is seriously injured, and the demons no longer hide their strength, the Wuhua Sect can be said to be helpless. ”

Ah Chao said indifferently.

"If things really get out of control, that one person will do it. ”

Xia Fan said disapprerovingly.

"But before that one makes a move, this demon is bound to set off a bloody storm in the Flying Bird Dynasty, and this is definitely not what the Wuhua Sect wants to see, so the other party is likely to ask for it again. ”

Ah Chao calmly analyzed.

"I know, but I'm not going to see them again. ”

Xia Fan said lightly.

But they will definitely not give up, and may even take risks. ”

Ah Chao said with a cold expression.

"There is no way, who let the family occupy the name of human righteousness. ”

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

If there is no Huazong, he will be ruthless.

There are indeed countless ways to force Xia Fan to make a move.

If Xia Fan doesn't make a move.

will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.

If Xia Fan was alone, he would not be afraid of the other party's threats at all, and he could even threaten them in turn.

How.

Xia Fan is not alone.

After all, he is still nominally Dong Cailing's husband.

The Wuhua Sect has not been ruthless for a long time.

is also scruples to tear his face with Xia Fan.

Who made Xia Fan's strength amazing.

If it weren't for the mysterious God Transformation Realm boss.

Xia Fan is a well-deserved first person in the cultivation world of the Flying Bird Dynasty.

You must know that the middle-aged monk of the Wuhua Sect has truly experienced his strength.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the Flying Bird Dao Alliance secretly take care of Lin Wu Villa all the time, it was all for Xia Fan's sake.

Xia Fan easily sent him away before.

But now it's not easy to get the job done.
