Volume 1: Ashes Chapter 129 Zhao Bingyan and Xiao Pingsheng
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
When Ling Xiao arrived at the agreed place in the Magic Canal Mountains, Hu Tao'er and a young man were already waiting there.
"He's Hu Qi, my distant cousin." Hu Taoer introduced with a smile.
"Hello, Brother Ling, your cultivation is so high!"
Hu Qi arched his hand towards Ling Xiao, looking Ling Xiao up and down with a slightly scrutinizing and curious gaze.
He is about in his early twenties, his appearance is dignified, and his cultivation has also reached the sixth level of qi refining, and he is obviously very talented.
"Hello."
Ling Xiao returned the salute with a smile, and then looked at Hu Tao'er strangely, "Didn't you say that there were quite a lot of people today?" ”
Hu Tao'er smiled slightly and said, "What's the hurry, the main force hasn't come yet!" ”
Ling Xiao was dumbfounded.
There are people who are slower than themselves.
Wait for someone, it's so painful!
He thought to himself, completely forgetting that the elite team was waiting for him.
It was the second night after he had reunited with Hu Taoer.
Yesterday, after a night of clouds and rain, both of them were tired and not suitable for exploration, so they agreed to come back tonight.
Ling Xiao should return to Qingfeng Guan to practice talismans, and Hu Tao'er also had to contact the hand.
Originally, it would have been safer if Hu Taoer had waited a few more days, when the elite team regrouped and went to explore the treasure map together.
But after Ling Xiao hesitated, he still extinguished this thought.
The elite team has developed a very mature tacit understanding of combat, and he rashly brought newcomers to join, and if the other team members don't say anything, they will definitely have a mustard in their hearts.
After all, with such a strong team, who doesn't want their own family to come in and get a piece of the pie?
No one has ever recruited new teammates, which is enough to show that maintaining a fixed combination of six people seems to be an agreement that does not need to be agreed.
As a member of the elite squad, Ling Xiao must of course abide by this agreement.
Even if you want to bring someone into the team, you have to ask for the opinions of others first.
Another reason is that Ling Xiao subconsciously believes that Ling Xiao and Xuantu should be two independent identities that do not interfere with each other and have no intersection.
He didn't want others to know that Ling Xiao was Xuantu.
Whoever this person is.
"Brother Ling, what kind of magic weapon are you using?" Next to him, Hu Qi stepped forward and asked.
He tried his best to pretend to be an old demon hunter, but his slightly nervous face still exposed his heart.
Ling Xiao smiled and took out the jade embroidery knife.
The white and beautiful blade of the knife is more and more transparent like jade in the moonlight, and the arc of the knife is like a string moon, exuding a dreamy feeling like a work of art.
"I'm a Body Forging Monk."
Ling Xiao said succinctly.
"Huh?"
Hu Qi was taken aback, and then said with great joy: "Amazing, it's the first time I've seen a forging monk!" ”
Forging monks are rare, and for ordinary casual cultivators, they are also mysterious and extraordinary.
But Hu Qi still knows a little common sense, that is, the forging monk is strong, can withstand the attack of demon beasts, and has a unique advantage when hunting demons in the wild!
With Ling Xiao, a forging monk, here, this trip will definitely go a lot smoother.
Hu Qi's nervousness eased slightly, and he looked at the jade embroidery knife with envy.
There is no doubt that this is a high-level magic weapon, and it is very valuable.
Just when Hu Qi was admiring the jade embroidery knife, two rays of light suddenly floated in the sky, and after a little circle, they fell to the three of them.
"She's coming!"
Hu Tao'er smiled, but when she saw the person in the light, her smile couldn't help but stiffen.
The light fell, the light and shadow faded, revealing a man and a woman.
The woman was a seventh-fold cultivator of Qi refining, with white skin and beautiful appearance, wearing a black and gold tight skirt, outlining her tall figure in a delicate and graceful arc, and holding Hu Tao'er's hand with a smile.
"Okay Peach, who do you think I'm bringing here?"
She grinned, her tone ambiguous, and frequently glanced at the man next to her.
The man was about forty years old, with a graceful bearing, and he walked over, put away the folding fan in his hand, and saluted with a smile, "Miss Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time, congratulations on your successful exit!" ”
His aura is powerful, and he is an eightfold qi refining spirit, and his aura is even stronger than Hu Tao'er of the same level, so he must have been in this realm for a long time.
Hu Tao'er gritted her teeth lightly and returned the salute: "The concubine has seen Xiao Gongzi." ”
Xiao Gongzi smiled, reached into his arms, and took out a beautiful small box and handed it over, "Miss Hu, this is a little bit of caution from Xiao Mou, as a congratulatory gift for your smooth exit!" ”
Before Hu Tao'er could react, the woman exclaimed first, "Wow, Xiao Gongzi, you didn't prepare a gift in advance?" I didn't have anything to prepare! ”
Xiao Gongzi smiled casually, "It's just a little pill, and it's not a heavy gift." When Miss Zhao breaks through, Xiao will also send you! ”
Miss Zhao sighed faintly, "When will I have to wait for me to break through?" Maybe in this life, I won't have the opportunity to receive your gift, how can I be as lucky as Peach? ”
These two goods sing and harmonize, and the performance traces are very heavy!
Ling Xiao frowned when he saw it, and couldn't help but look at Hu Qi, wanting to find an answer.
Hu Qi hesitated for a moment, and Fang said in a low voice: "Xiao Pingsheng, don't be deceived by his sanctimonious appearance, he is a complete negative man with countless wives and concubines. He pursued my sister several times, but my sister rejected him, but he didn't expect to be pestered endlessly! ”
Ling Xiao was stunned.
No wonder Hu Tao'er saw this person, and her face was not so good-looking.
Over there, Hu Tao'er glared at Miss Zhao, took a step back without a trace, and said, "The kindness of Gongzi Xiao, the concubine's body and mind." As the saying goes, I can't accept this gift if it is useless. ”
Without waiting for Xiao Pingsheng to answer, she glared at Miss Zhao again, "Didn't you say that you invited a madman, why did you still trouble Xiao Gongzi?" ”
Miss Zhao waved her hand again and again, "Sensei Sensei!" During your retreat, Maniac Rao joined a long-term demon hunting team, and now he can't wait for it! Looking for him? You can't even see ghosts! ”
Hu Tao'er suddenly said, "No wonder I said that I came out of retreat, but you never contacted me." Without that madman, it would be much more difficult to hunt demons in the future. ”
"Hey! Leave him alone! Xiao Gongzi's kindness, don't hurt people's hearts! Miss Zhao snatched the box, stuffed it into Hu Tao'er's hand, and then looked at Ling Xiao, "This is the friend you brought?" ”
Hu Tao'er's face was gloomy, and she pushed her hand away, then took a deep breath and nodded.
"His name is Ling Xiao."
Immediately, under the stunned gaze of the woman and Xiao Gongzi, Hu Tao'er stepped forward generously and held Ling Xiao's hand.
"Ling Xiao, they are my friends, Zhao Bingyan and Xiao Pingsheng, Xiao Gongzi."
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, "Hello! ”
Inside the venue, the atmosphere was stiff.
Whether it is Zhao Bingyan or Xiao Pingsheng, their faces are very ugly.
"Tao'er, don't tell me you ...... him" Zhao Bingyan asked with a smile, laughing awkwardly.
Xiao Pingsheng stared at the hands of the two of them tightly, as if a needle had pierced his eyes.
Hu Tao'er didn't answer, she leaned on Ling Xiao, only looking at Ling Xiao with honey in her eyes.
Under the charming moonlight, she is seven points coquettish and three points shy, like a bride who has just passed the door.
Seeing Hu Tao'er like this, Zhao Bingyan couldn't help but turn blue and white for a while.
She was kind enough to pull the flute and come over, which is exactly the meaning of matchmaking, but who knew that Hu Taoer actually got a new love!
However, Xiao Pingsheng was the first to regain his composure, shook the folding fan lightly, and said with a smile: "Miss Hu has this wishful thinking, Xiao is really happy for you!" Ling Gongzi, right? In Xia Xiao's life, the mountains will be dangerous, and I will rely on you more! ”
He said it generously, but Ling Xiao clearly saw the jealousy that flashed in his eyes.
The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth curled, "It's easy to say, everyone works together." ”
