Nangong Xiao "escaped" all the way back to his room, closed the door heavily, his back against the door, his mouth was panting, although the expression on his face had not changed, but his heart was mixed, and he couldn't say it.

He originally acted according to the plan, pretending to be panicked and pushed down the marriage contract, and the two would be strangers when they met in the future. But the uncomfortable taste of running filled his whole body, and it was necessary to force him to stop, neither turn back nor run forward, but just wanted him to stand like this, until he felt better. However, how could he stop, he must not let everyone see his weak side, this is one of Nangong Xiao's life creeds.

So he used all his strength to cover this short journey, and by the time he got back to the house, he was quite tired. It's not the body that's tired, it's the heart.

Nangong Xiao's body slowly slid down the wooden door, and finally squatted on the ground, revealing a desolate smile.

I was too self-righteous this time, and I felt that I had seen through and thought very clearly. But when those few words really blurted out, I realized that I was really quite naïve. Childhood memories are not so simple.

Now he is not Li Tao, nor Nangong Xiao, but a combination of the two, some emotional memories buried deep in his heart, even if he is excavated by himself, but his meaning is actually not very clear.

Li Tao's feelings for Li Shumei have also slowly increased over the years, but he didn't notice it. It's like a sapling that you stare at for a long time and it doesn't change, but before you know it, it's grown into something that can provide you with shade.

That relationship can be said to be above friends, and love is not enough. Although it didn't hurt my heart, it was like a serious illness, and it was too uncomfortable. However, Nangong Xiao quickly came to his senses, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would lose his heart. Immediately meditate cross-legged, hold on to oneness, and stabilize your mind.

At the same time, Li Shumei was crying in the upper room of an inn with pear blossoms and rain. Qin Suxin persuaded her vigorously beside her.

"Senior sister, don't cry. What is there to be sad about, it's not worth it to be a coward and a coward. With your appearance and qualifications, in the future in the cultivation realm, you can attract a group of young talents by beckoning at will. ”

Qin Suxin said this, and sighed in his heart, even if the person named Li Tao is a lover, people have different paths, maybe the end will be much more miserable than this result.

The second uncle who was standing on the side, at this time, did not have any arrogance in the Li Mansion at all, he cautiously said to Li Shumei: "Girl, that kid named Li Tao has no looks, no talent to learn, no gold and silver." What's so good about you following him? It's better to find a handsome fairy in the future, you have everything in gold and silver, and your father can still be wiped out.

When Li Shumei heard this, she cried even more urgently, Qin Suxin turned her head and glared at him angrily, she didn't have a good impression of this junior sister's father at all, if it weren't for the face of the junior sister, she wouldn't want to look at it.

The second uncle saw Qin Suxin glaring at him, like a mouse seeing a cat, he didn't dare to squeak, and left the room in a gloomy manner.

At this time, Li Shumei raised her head with tears in her eyes, and asked Qin Suxin with a sob, "Teacher... Sister, didn't the master say...... Is it better and happier for a person to become a monk, and why, why do I feel so painful, so sad? “

"This ......" Qin Suxin was asked for a while, opened her lips slightly, and couldn't say a word.

A few hours later, Nangong Xiao recovered from his meditation. There was a determined look in his eyes, and his mood improved a little. I feel that the connection between myself and the world is becoming less and less, and the absence of these troubles is very beneficial to breaking through the bottleneck in the future. Although his own approach was inappropriate this time, he also cut off this love thread, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

A few days later, Nangong Xiao summoned Qian Baocai in the secret room and asked about the latest capture. Qian Baocai opened a small box beside him with a smile on his face, revealing more than a dozen jade boxes and dozens of colored stones of different sizes.

Don't look at such a few things, it cost a total of thousands of taels of silver. However, Qian Baocai is not distressed at all, because this is really insignificant compared to the benefits he has obtained. Since Nangong Xiao sat in charge of Qian Mansion, Qian Baocai's business and expansion have increased several times. Even if there are some obstacles, with Nangong Xiao secretly helping each other, it can be said that opening the road in the mountains and building bridges in the water.

Some shopkeepers who thought they had some strength and refused to compromise had to give up their interests after seeing Nangong Xiao's terrifying law.

Nangong Xiao took out some useless stones and herbs, and there was still a small half left, and he accepted the box with satisfaction, and praised Qian Baocai a few words, and then Qian Baocai took out a slender box made of sandalwood from his arms, and pulled the lid of the box open, revealing a simple brush.

He said respectfully: "Senior, this pen was obtained from a pawnshop in my family a few days ago, I heard that the pawn is a fallen family, this pen is the inheritance of the ancestors, after hundreds of years, he is trapped in his livelihood and has to exchange it for money." I thought it was extraordinary that I had not been damaged in the slightest after looking at this pen for such a long time, but I did not feel the feeling described by my predecessors at all. So ask your seniors to identify it. ”

"Oh?" Nangong Xiao was slightly surprised and stretched out his left hand to take out a brush from the box and examine it carefully, while scanning it with his divine sense. It was found that this thing did have aura emanation, but the aura was restrained, and it was naturally impossible to see anything from the eyes of mortals. But Nangong Xiao thought of the group cultivation method that day, and it might be such a thing.

This is a big pie for himself, he doesn't have any weapons in his hands, and he can't look down on all soldiers and vulgar iron, and he still has to weigh his own life with an evil knife. This brush can be regarded as the solution of his urgent need.

But he said quietly on his face, "This thing is of some use to me, so I will accept it." ”

Qian Baocai secretly observed the change in Nangong Xiao's expression, but unfortunately it was in vain, he couldn't figure out the weight of this brush at all, and he couldn't say the lines he had thought of, so he could only say yes again and again.

Then Nangong Xiao chatted with Qian Baocai for a while about the recent anecdotes, and Qian Baocai said goodbye with interest.

After Qian Baocai walked out of the door, Nangong Xiao leaned over and checked the elixir in the jade box, most of them were seedlings, but it didn't matter, he had a small pot to sit on, and he could get the mature elixir in a few months. Then he picked up a piece of crystal clear green stone the size of a walnut with two fingers, which exuded a rich aura, and he actually slightly drove his own Xiao Zhou Tian to run, and immediately held it in the palm of his hand to run the exercises of the fifth layer of Peiyuan Gong.

Three hours later, Nangong Xiao got up, and the stone in his palm turned into a cloud of stone dust. He was surprised to find that although the aura on this stone was not as easy to absorb as the elixir, it was much better than swallowing the spirit grass.

The aura of the spirit grass is too complicated, and he can only absorb one-third of it at a time, which is really a pity.
