Back at the inn, Fang Yanfan informed Li Lao of today's events, and when Li Lao heard Hu Xuan's paragraph, he knew that it was indeed Hu Xuan who became a tiger, and when he saw Fang Yanfan talking about this paragraph with a red face, Li Lao almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"And what happened to that guy in the end?" asked Elder Li.

"I killed him without asking anything!" Hu Xuan said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Li Lao nodded, stood up from his seat, and walked back and forth in the room, thoughtfully.

"If my expectations are correct, the three people who want the spirit puppet should have been sent by Yi Tianque, who wanted to compete with Fan Er for the spirit puppet in the auction hall that day!"

"What is Master's basis?" asked Fang Yanfan.

"First, if you don't know the rules and casually shout high prices to save his face, he will naturally find a venue, and he will not fight with you on the surface, but it is possible to do things in secret. ”

"Second, I heard that although he is a spiritual realm cultivator, his son is not a cultivator, and this spirit puppet has some value to him. ”

"As for this third, the sixth-order cultivators of the Imperial Spirit Realm are quite popular in this Smoke and Rain City, and if they are sent out so decisively, they will naturally have a good background!"

When Fang Yanfan heard this, he nodded, and then wondered, "What about the person who arrested me?"

Li Lao couldn't help but link this matter with the girl's disappearance, "If that's the case, then there is only Mo Wait and Xiao Shuihan!" Li Lao thought of this, and remembered that he had dragged Yu Chengfeng to send someone to investigate the matter, and I don't know what the situation was.

Li Lao decided to hide the situation first, so he shook his head and said to Fang Yanfan: "Put this matter aside for the time being, I have other things to tell you for the teacher!"

Li Lao hesitated for a long time, and only recently did he make up his mind.

"Fan'er, how does this little potted plant compare to the towering trees outside?" said Li Lao, pointing to a small pot of green plants in front of the window.

Fang Yanfan didn't know what Li Lao meant, so he thought about it and replied: "Since you have chosen what kind of life, what kind of height do you have to accept!"

"Oh?" Elder Li couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of Fang Yanfan, who was only twelve years old, so he nodded, feeling that his previous hesitation was a little too worried, and motioned for Fang Yanfan to continue.

"This potted plant is for people to enjoy, every day someone puts it in the sun, and someone prunes its branches for it, watering it, it doesn't have to fight with other plants, every day just to maintain a good posture to meet the sun, so the heart is naturally not tall!"

"Well, yes, what about the towering trees?"

"The towering tree is naturally the opposite of this green plant, and it needs to compete with the surrounding trees for nutrients and sunlight every day. ”

"In order to resist the strong wind, you must dig your heel deep in the soil, and in order to compete for the sun, you must grow upward, and it is difficult not to grow into a towering tree!"

Speaking of this, Fang Yanfan faintly felt that why Li Lao asked this, his nose was sore, tears were in his eyes, and he knelt beside Li Lao.

When Hu Xuan saw this scene and heard Fang Yanfan's answer, he knew nine times out of ten, walked out with light steps, and closed the door.

There was silence in the room, "click", Fang Yanfan's tears fell and smashed on the floor.

"Hey!" Li Lao sighed, bent down and helped Fang Yanfan up.

"If the tree is still like this, that person is naturally like this, including the cultivation path! Fan'er, do you want to become a green plant or a towering tree, no matter what choice you make, you are the only disciple of the teacher!"

Fang Yanfan lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and still kept sobbing, but she didn't cry.

"This choice was made two years ago, not to be a big tree to protect his family and Master. Fang Yanfan raised his head and looked at Li Lao, there were still some tears on the sword, but the firm eyes were clearly visible.

Elder Li also nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

"Fan'er, you are talented, many things are self-taught, and you will become a great weapon in the future, but you still lack a breath on your body!"

"What?" Fang Yanfan looked up at Li Lao, with some tears on her face.

"The spirit of killing! This is not something that the old man can teach you, you can only rely on yourself to cultivate the rivers and lakes. Originally, you were just a woman, this decision seems to be very cruel to you, if you stay by Master's side, there will be a day when you will see the world!" Li Lao began to feel distressed when he saw Fang Yanfan's appearance, and he began to waver.

Fang Yanfan walked to the window, looking at the pot of green plants in a daze, half silent.

"Master doesn't need to, I want to go out and wander by myself, I want to become a towering tree!"

Fang Yanfan turned around, looked at Li Lao and said with a smile, wiping her tears while laughing.

Li Lao looked at Fang Yanfan, his heart was sour, knowing how difficult this choice was for Fang Yanfan, and his eyes gradually moistened.

"Another point is that recently, as a teacher, I have a faint feeling that I want to break through, at least two years, at most four years, I'm afraid I can't accompany you!" Li Lao looked at Fang Yanfan and said.

"Is Master going to break through, that's a good thing!" Fang Yanfan heard this, and the dark clouds in his heart were half gone.

"I thought Master was afraid that I was a burden and wanted to drive me away!" Fang Yanfan chirped and smiled bitterly.

"How is it possible? The old man is just a disciple like you in this life, how can he be willing to drive away, he really feels that he is about to break through, and he can't pull out!"

"Does it take so long for Master to break through? It takes two to four years?"

Hearing this, Li Lao nodded, but his eyes became cold and profound.

"Breakthrough? ridiculous, this should be a curse!" Li Lao's eyes dimmed, he shook his head, and said secretly in his heart.

"Fan'er has never dared to ask, I don't know what kind of realm the master is in?" Seeing that Li Lao was speechless, Fang Yanfan asked.

"Creation of the Spirit Realm!"

"Wow, Master said that after creating the Spirit Realm, it will be the Divine Spirit Realm, and Master is really the most powerful!"

Li Lao was silent again, Fang Yanfan felt that Li Lao was a little weird, so he didn't dare to say any more.

"Then when will Master go into retreat?" Fang Yanfan asked.

"Don't worry, there are some things in Yanyu City that still need to be dealt with, and when you finish dealing with them, you will retreat as a teacher!"

Fang Yanfan hesitated and said, "I don't know if it's... What's the matter, the disciple wants to share the master's worries before leaving!"

Elder Li's heart warmed when he heard this, and he said: "It's good that you have this heart, it just happens that there are some things that are not good for the teacher, you can help the teacher do it!"

Fang Yanfan was also very excited when he heard this, since he left home to cultivate, it was Li Lao who arranged cultivation matters for Fang Yanfan, and now he can help Li Lao deal with some things, naturally he is passionate.

"I don't know what?"

"You go and call Hu Xuan in, he also has to participate!"

"Yes!"

Fang Yanfan walked to the door and opened the door.

"Dead pervert, come in, I have something to say to you!" Everyone looked at Fang Yanfan when they heard this, and Hu Xuan, who was sitting on the ground meditating and cultivating, also blushed when he heard this.

"Fang Yanfan, just call it secretly, this is a big court, I don't want to lose face!" Hu Xuan reprimanded while standing up.

"Slightly!" Fang Yanfan stretched out his tongue and said with a smile like a tiger xuan.

Li Lao told the two of them about his plan to support Yu Chengfeng as the city lord, and Hu Xuan listened to it with relish.

"It's really exciting, it's fun to do such a big thing as soon as you come!" Hu Xuan said excitedly, his eyes lit up.

"Then what do we do, just rush over and cut them down?" Hu Xuan asked

"Who can you cut?" Fang Yanfan said with a blank look at Hu Xuan.

"Wait for a piece of information, presumably it will be delivered in the next few days!"

Suddenly, a paper bird flew into the window and fell into the hands of Li Lao.

Fang Yanfan looked at the paper bird with a glowing neck and asked curiously, "Master, what is this?"

"This is the information this time, and this paper bird is made of paper that has been infected in the liquid of the Rong Ling Stone, and it can fly by injecting its own aura, which is convenient for sending letters!"

"Master, what information is on this paper?"

Li Lao opened the paper bird, and after looking at it, his face was heavy, and then he muttered: "Sure enough, it's Xiao Shuihan!"

Fang Yanfan and Hu Xuan were confused when they heard this, and looked at Li Lao.

"Fan'er, do you remember that girl from Aoki Town?"

"Xu Xiaoxiao?"

"Yes, her disappearance is related to this Xiao Shuihan!"

"Ah, why did he kidnap the girl?" Fang Yanfan asked with a shocked expression.

"According to the intelligence, he has an evil spiritual method, which specializes in using the aura of virgins who have just started cultivating to improve their cultivation, and girls who are taken from their aura will either die or go crazy!" Li Lao said hatefully.

"It's really crazy!" Fang Yanfan and Hu Xuan said in unison.

"I think he sent you to catch you in the woods!"

Hearing this, Fang Yanfan's back was cold, fortunately he was not arrested, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Then Master, what are we going to do next?"

"Do you know how to curse?" asked Li Lao suddenly.

"Scolding? sure, I've won awards for scolding people in our hometown!" Hu Xuan said with a serious face.

"It's not in shape!"

"Okay, in the past few days, you can scold this Xiao Shuihan's crime, write an article, and stay until late at night, and disperse to Yanyu City!"

Hearing this, Hu Xuan nodded and brewed words.
