Xi Yao sat by the lake, leaning against a tree. On the rock beside him was a small saucer with finely chopped food. She grabbed a bit of food and spilled it into the lake, and the fish scrambled to eat it, but she had no interest in appreciating it.

That day, Xi Yao didn't drink Ya Chi's blood, and Fan Chen didn't hold on to this question anymore, and he didn't care if she was still sad about Ya Chi's death, on the contrary, he appeared in front of her less and less, and the time between them became longer and longer, and he didn't seem to want to see her very much.

Qin Ling'er walked up to Xi Yao with a booklet, sat down, and handed the booklet to Xi Yao, "Here you go." ”

Xi Yao didn't come to her senses for a long time, her eyes were scattered, looking at the lake, but she wasn't looking at the fish.

"Xi Yao?" Qin Ling'er raised her voice.

"Huh?" Xi Yao turned her head when she heard the voice, and when she saw Qin Ling'er, she found the booklet in her hand, "Oh." ”

"What's wrong with you lately? Aren't you almost healed? Why are you still in a state of disengagement?"

"It's fine. Xi Yao lowered her head and flipped through the booklet.

"Did you quarrel with the young master?"

"Nope. ”

"It's strange, I haven't seen the young master for a long time, and I don't even know where Ji Po has gone," Qin Ling'er also grabbed a handful of food from the plate, threw it into the lake, and said, "These incurable diseases you see are all unsolved problems, and there is no good cure so far." But what are you doing here? You're not a pharmacist, do you want to study medicine with me?"

"I don't want to, I don't have this talent," Xi Yao paused, then closed the booklet, returned it to Qin Ling'er, and said, "Pick the most difficult one, just write a battle letter to Xiao Er with this, make an appointment with her, choose a place with many people, open competition, and the loser is no longer allowed to use the name of Bian Que, whether it is 'Bian Que's descendant' or 'Bian Que's disciple', it is not allowed, and even promises not to touch medicinal materials again for the rest of his life." ”

"It's too ruthless, isn't it? Wouldn't it be too bad? The pharmacist can't touch the medicine, so he might as well die!"

"If you can't bear it, what's the pity of dying?"

"Will I die with her?"

"No, she's going to lose, and you're going to win. ”

"Don't be so sure of me, my ancestors can't solve these incurable diseases, where can I do it!"

"I just hope you can't do it, because you can't do it as a master, and no matter how well her apprentice learns, it won't work either. ”

"Then she's not stupid, she doesn't accept this war letter?"

"Then let her accept it, Minde Mansion is so big and there are so many people, it's not difficult to spread the news, right? Let everyone know about this matter, if she doesn't accept it, it means that she thinks she is inferior to you, and she will naturally refuse to agree. So, whether she wants it or not, she will definitely accept your challenge. ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"Presumably she knows that you can't solve these incurable diseases, right?"

"All pharmacists are helpless against these residual problems. ”

She knows that you can't solve it, but you still want to challenge her in this way, which will make her feel proud, and the master's challenge to the apprentice is a kind of recognition of the apprentice, and for her, it is also a good opportunity to ridicule you, hit you, and make you completely embarrassed. So she won't miss this great opportunity. ”

"Are you helping me or hurting me?"

"It depends on whether you believe me or not, anyway, the reason why she dares to provoke you all the time is because she feels that she is inferior to you in no way, and this is her weakness. ”

"I've been with her for so many years, and I finally saw her as a person, when she had already yin me, and you didn't talk to her, you know her so well. ”

"I also listened to what you said, and what she did, she was too fame-oriented, so she likes to show off her skills and let everyone know about her, and it is not always a good thing to show herself excessively in front of everyone. ”

"Spread the news, finish the war letter, and then what should I do? I really can't solve those incurable diseases, and I still want to pick the most difficult one, and want me to commit suicide by throwing myself into the lake?"

"You don't have to stress whether you will be able to do it anymore, in short, you have to give her enough time to study slowly, one is to give her time, and the other is to let her know that in fact, you also need time, you are a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry and doing stupid things. ”

"I don't have to make her feel like I'm doing something stupid, I don't know what to do. ”

"No, when you finish the war letter, come and call me, I will accompany you to the pharmacy, and you will be very busy in the next few days. ”

"Oh," Qin Ling'er got up to leave, "you have a good mind! Although I don't understand what you want to do, I somehow think you are very reliable." ”

Xi Yao watched Qin Ling'er walk away, she grabbed a handful of food, threw it into the lake, and muttered, "Good mind, isn't it?, but for him, I have never been smart, and I still can't see through his ......."

Soon after, several guards came carrying a coffin, and Ling Shan walked in front, pointed to the side, and said, "Put it down." ”

"Yes, Archstaunch. "The guards put the coffin in the designated place.

After Mrs. Fan died, Ling Shan did not leave Minde Mansion, she was still the chief administrator of Minde Mansion, loyal to her duties, and in charge of the affairs of Minde Mansion. Fan Chen never cared about the affairs of Minde Mansion, whether it was before or now, he never cared, he didn't even want the Dark Empire.

Xi Yao stood up when she heard the voice, and the coffin made of red pine appeared in her eyes, appearing suddenly, incompatible with the silence around her.

Ling Shan stretched out a hand to Xi Yao, lightly pointed at the red pine coffin, and asked, "Try it, does it fit, do you need to change it again?"

"Huh?" Xi Yao's surprised gaze withdrew from the coffin and fell on Ling Shan, who was speaking, with a puzzled expression. Fit? Is it what Fan Chen meant? Why did he give her a coffin? Is he going to send her on her way?

Ling Shan's hand persistently pointed at the coffin, as if Xi Yao didn't do it, she wouldn't give up, and she wouldn't withdraw that hand.

Ling Shan watched Xi Yao walk forward and said to the guards beside her, "Open the coffin lid." ”

"Yes, Archstaunch. One of the guards stretched out two thick arms, and with a "click", quickly opened the lid of the coffin and set it aside.

Ling Shan motioned for the guard to stand back and said to Xi Yao, "If you have other requests, you can ask them in advance, and I will do so." ”

Xi Yao walked to the coffin, although she knew that she was asking knowingly, she still couldn't help but ask, "Is it the meaning of Fan Chen?"

"It's the young master's meaning, I hope you like it. ”

"Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time, and he even remembered me and gave me a coffin......"

What a strange gift, in Xi Yao's impression, this is the first time Fan Chen has given her a gift, and it turned out to be a coffin.

Xi Yao's finger was on the edge of the coffin, remembering Ya Chi's coffin, the vampire liked his coffin very much, and it was really strange to say that she Xi Yao coveted his beloved coffin.

Xi Yao saw a few withered yellow leaves blown into the coffin by the wind, it was late autumn, the season of falling leaves returning to their roots, so what about Ya Chi?

"Is there anything that needs to be improved? The young master said, even if you want to set gemstones, he will satisfy you. ”

Xi Yao smiled unconsciously, where does the coffin used to hold the corpse need to be inlaid with gemstones, and the gold plating can't change the black and smelly corpse inside.

"What are you laughing at?" Ling Shan felt that a girl should be scared when she received a coffin.

"No, that's good. Xi Yao bowed her head slightly to Ling Shan, although she was sad, but she thanked Ling Shan for sending her a coffin, and another person would definitely feel unlucky and unwilling to take over this kind of thing.

Ling Shan and the guards didn't speak, and turned to leave, leaving Xi Yao and a coffin. A thin girl with a heavy heart and a huge cold coffin, the two constitute a good and not weird scene.

Xi Yao stepped into the coffin, folded her hands in front of her, and lay down, her eyes calmly open, looking at the sky, at the occasional dead leaves.

"It's really insincere to give someone a gift, it doesn't fit at all, it's so long, it's so big, even if it's a corpse, it should be a little more comfortable. ”

Xi Yao raised a hand as she spoke, covering a line of sight, blocking a white cloud in the sky, and said to herself, "What is the difference between the living and the dead? Who is happier than whom, and who is sadder than whom?"

She imagined that if she closed her eyes, she would not look like a corpse, and if she closed the lid of the coffin, would it be a little more like it? Or buried in the soil, it must not be like it, it would be at all!

"Do you play like that when I'm not around?"

Xi Yao's hand clasped the other hand and pulled her up. She hadn't seen the silver-haired boy in a long time, and she even thought he might not come back.

"Didn't you give it to me?" Xi Yao's tone did not blame or doubt, but accepted it gladly.

"I gave it to you, but you weren't allowed to think of him while you lay in. "Fan Chen didn't have amnesia, Na Ya Chi said all day long that he wanted to share a coffin with Xi Yao, he really couldn't understand why these vampires liked coffins so much, he really should put a stake in the heart of all vampires, stuff them into the coffin, and bury them in the soil forever.

"How do you know I'm thinking about Ablaze?"

"I'm talking about him, is there a Tiachi?"

"I ......" Xi Yao found that she didn't confess to herself, but was taken by Fan Chen.

"Hehe," Fan Chen sneered, "If you care so much, you should have drunk a drop of his blood at that time, why didn't you drink a sip?"

"I don't want to drink it. ”

"Oh, I see," Fan Chen raised his hand, rubbing his fingertips back and forth on Xi Yao's lips, and mocked, "It turns out that you like to kiss your mouth, stick to his skin, and suck his blood, is it the blood or the touch that makes you feel excited and satisfied?" ”

"Fan Chen......" Xi Yao couldn't find a flaw in his speech, but he clearly had something in his words, insinuating something.

"So, what have you been pretending to be in front of me? Pretending to be serious, huh?"

"I didn't. ”
