Chapter 30: Asking for help from the Dugu family
"Knock knock. Just when Shen Xuanbing felt extremely powerless, there was a sudden knock on the door.
She knew that it must not be Li Shuyao outside the door, otherwise there would be no need to knock on the door. So he sat up strongly, briefly straightened the broken hair on his face, and wiped his face indiscriminately before saying to the door, "Please come in." ”
The door opened slowly, and Li Xiuyan walked in with a night of hot noodle soup, "You haven't eaten a few bites of dinner, you're hungry, I specially got you a bowl of noodles, eat it while it's hot." ”
Putting the noodles on the table, Li Xiuyan rubbed his ears, he knew that it was so hot, he should have listened to Li Shuyao's words and put the bowl in the tray.
Shen Xuanbing looked at Li Xiuyan's slightly funny appearance, her depressed mood was slightly soothed, and she barely squeezed out a smile, "I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself." ”
"People are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry and panic, and if you don't eat two meals, you will panic......" Li Xiuyan said, and was about to beckon her to get out of bed, when she suddenly remembered that her legs were incapacitated, so she gritted her teeth and picked up the bowl again, running her soul power to the palm of her hand to avoid her palm being burned into a pig's hand.
Shen Xuanbing didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't until the bowl of steaming, fragrant noodle soup was brought to her that she understood why Li Xiuyan wanted to release her soul power. Since she was a child, this is the first time she has seen someone use her soul power in trivial matters in life, and she can't help but feel a little funny.
"It's nothing, last time in the Purple Bamboo Forest, I deliberately released the martial soul to cover the rain......"
With a few simple jokes, Shen Xuanbing's mood recovered somewhat.
As soon as the mood is good, people will know that they are hungry, and the bowl of hot noodle soup has successfully completed its mission and become the food of the goddess.
"If it's okay, I'll go back first. Li Xiuyan wanted to get away with it, and turned around with the empty bowl and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute. Shen Xuanbing suddenly stopped him.
"What?" Li Xiuyan turned his head to look at Shen Xuanbing.
Shen Xuanbing stared straight at Li Xiuyan with her big smart eyes, and after a while, she said very sincerely: "Thank you, Li Xiuyan." ”
The corners of Li Xiuyan's lips twitched, "It's too angry to call Li Xiuyan, how can you say that we are also friends, let's call Brother Yan in the future." ”
Shen Xuanbing gritted her teeth and glared, "It's shameless to be stinky, it's almost the same to call you Brother Yan!"
"Okay, I'll call you Sister Bing. "Li Xiuyan never cares about age.
"No, you look older than my brother, you can't call me sister!"
As soon as he heard this, Li Xiuyan was not happy, "What are you kidding, I'm older than your brother? I'm only fifteen years old, okay! Your brother is at least twenty!"
"I think you look like fifty!" Shen Xuan Bingyan said insincerely.
"Okay, okay, I'm fifty, you can call me uncle or uncle in the future, whatever you like. As he spoke, Li Xiuyan was about to push the door out.
"Wait a minute!"
Shen Xuanbing stopped Li Xiuyan again.
She originally wanted to ask Li Xiuyan for help, but she was always ashamed to speak, after all, her relationship with Li Xiuyan is just an ordinary friend at present, and her life was saved by the other party, and it is really difficult to ask the other party to take risks.
However, considering the safety of his family, Shen Xuanbing had no choice but to let go, "Can you accompany me to Dugu Mansion?"
"Absolutely. ”
Li Xiuyan replied immediately, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
Shen Xuanbingqiao's face flushed slightly, "You already knew that I had something to ask you for?"
"Hmm. ”
Li Xiuyan smiled and nodded, "The Shen family is one of the four famous families in Yiling, and they have always been good with the Dugu family, and they also have close contacts in business, and now that such a big thing has happened, you must go to the Dugu family for help." It's just that...... It's okay for me to go with you, but you'd better be prepared......"
Li Xiuyan didn't say it too directly, but even so, Shen Xuanbing still understood the meaning of his words, and frowned: "Are you afraid that the Dugu family will die and not save it?"
Li Xiuyan smiled faintly, "It's okay if you just see death and don't save it, I'm afraid of ......"
Shen Xuanbing's face was slightly gloomy, "No, I believe Uncle Dugu won't do that." ”
Li Xiuyan smiled noncommittally, "I hope you're right." ”
Taking advantage of the late night, Li Xiuyan made a piece of black cloth, made a wide black robe, and then carried Shen Xuanbing on his back and went out of the house over the wall.
Flying all the way to the wall, under the cover of black robes and night, they avoided waves of Northern Underworld troops patrolling the street, and the two finally arrived at the Dugu family mansion safely.
According to Shen Xuanbing's guidance, Li Xiuyan came to an independent courtyard.
"What kind of place is this?" Li Xiuyan was a little curious, this place was clearly not the residence of the head of the Dugu family.
Shen Xuanbing said: "This is the residence of the second son of the Dugu family, Dugu Forgiveness, and he has a very good personal relationship with the eldest brother. ”
Li Xiuyan smiled and gave her a "like". Although it was not wise for Shen Xuanbing to come to the Dugu family for help at this cusp moment, she was smart and smart that she did not go directly to the head of the Dugu family, but came to find Dugu Yu, who had a good personal relationship with Shen Jianxin, so that in case of any "accident", with the relationship between Dugu Yu and Shen Jianxin, maybe Shen Xuanbing would be let go, and there would be no return.
"Let's go, he shouldn't have slept yet. Shen Xuanbing seems to know Dugu pardon very well.
Li Xiuyan nodded, stretched out his hand and pushed open the courtyard door.
The courtyard is not big, there are no cumbersome ornaments in it, there are things used to practice martial arts everywhere, and Li Xiuyan even suspects that he has walked into a martial arts hall.
In the innermost part of the courtyard, there is a two-story single building, which is lit up, and with the help of the light, you can see a figure, who is swinging his fists and kicking legs, and the sound of ping-pong is heard from time to time.
Li Xiuyan couldn't help but wonder a little, this is all ugly, and he is still practicing this, no wonder he has to live here alone, otherwise it is really disturbing.
Shen Xuanbing glanced at the figure in the building, and said softly: "He is a martial idiot, but it is a pity that the meridians are congenitally abnormal, although he can barely liberate the martial soul, but the output of soul power is far less than that of ordinary people, so he has been practicing day and night, hoping that one day there will be a miracle." ”
So that's it......
Li Xiuyan couldn't help but admire Dugu's perseverance.
When he came to the door of the small building, Li Xiuyan knocked hard twice, first, he was afraid that Dugu Yu would concentrate on practicing martial arts and would not be able to hear it, and second, he was in a relatively remote place, even if he kicked the door with his foot, it was estimated that he would not be heard by the people of Dugu's family.
The sound of ping-pong stopped, as there was a knock on the door.
Then there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and the door was opened.
A shirtless teenager appeared inside the door.
The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, distinct facial features, although his skin was a little dark, but it was a healthy wheat color, and he was full of strong tendons and flesh.
Seeing Li Xiuyan outside the door, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and asked, "Who are you, I don't seem to know you!"
Li Xiuyan smiled kindly and lifted the black robe behind him, "Then do you know her?"
The young man was stunned, "Xuan Bing?!"
It can be seen from his name Shen Xuanbing that the relationship between the two is good, but this Xuanbing is a little awkward in Li Xiuyan's ears, as for why it is awkward, even he himself can't say clearly.
