Chapter 165: Foggy
Just when Xuan Bao thought that Lao Zhou would not speak, he finally spoke.
"Did Miss Seven find anything?"
"It's not a discovery, I have a gut feeling, a familiar feeling." Xuan Bao looked down at the place where he had been injured and said lightly, "I went in and got a little injured. β
"A small injury? Does it matter? Lao Zhou blurted out and asked with concern.
The corners of Xuanbao's mouth hooked: "It's out of the way." I didn't see anything, I just went in and walked around and came out. β
"Actually, I haven't been in." Pain flashed in Lao Zhou's eyes, "I thought about it, but I'm timid again." β
"Twenty-five years of hesitation?" Xuan Bao laughed, "I don't blame you, it's not a way to escape." I'm not a radical general, you've endured it for so many years, continue to endure it, don't spoil my business. β
Lao Zhou sighed helplessly: "Yes, the old slave knows." β
"There's something at the bottom of the lake, when you advance to the ghost queen, go down and touch the other party's bottom."
Xuan Bao spread out his palms as he spoke, and three golden merit beads were impressively in his palms.
"Miss Seven, this?"
"Take it, I just noticed that you are about to advance, with these merit beads, you will definitely be able to successfully become the ghost king, and you can also protect you from injury."
"Three, too many, one is enough to help me advance."
"My merits have increased greatly now, and if you take the three merit beads, it will not affect me much." Xuan Bao stuffed the merit bead into Lao Zhou's hand.
Lao Zhou's voice trembled a little: "Miss Seven, don't worry, the old slave will definitely go to the lake immediately after his successful advancement." β
"At the critical moment, there must be an absolutely safe place to cultivate. It's a pity that you can't leave the Hou Mansion, or I really have a place for you. "Xuanbao originally planned to let Lao Zhou enter his own space, but thinking that he was more special, he could only give up.
"Miss Seven, don't worry, I've been ready for this day for a long time." Lao Zhou hesitated for a moment before continuing, "It's just that in the past few days, I can't serve you. β
"It's okay, it's okay, you've become stronger, wouldn't it be better to help me do things when the time comes."
"Yes, thank you, Miss Seven." Lao Zhou respectfully bowed, retreated to the door, and then turned around and slowly floated out.
"Hell!" Suddenly, a terrible shout rang out.
Xuan Bao rolled his eyes in disgust: "Third brother, you stop a little, it's too embarrassing." I thought you were bold, but I didn't expect you to be as good as the second brother. β
"What's not as good as me?" Xiao Kexiao was attracted by Xiao Keren's voice and rushed in with winter snow and summer rain.
Xia Yuzui quickly asked, "Why did the third prince sleep on the ground?" β
Xiao Keren blushed: "It's just a fall." β
"What a person, and falling." Xiao Kexiao stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Keren up and asked casually, "Is Lao Zhou gone?" β
Hearing the word "Lao Zhou", Xiao Keren's terrifying grimace immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and his face turned white.
Xia Yu stared at Xiao Keren: "County lord, the third prince shouldn't be frightened by Lao Zhou, right?" β
Hearing this, Xuanbao couldn't help laughing, Xia Yu was really clever.
Dong Xue hurriedly poked Xia Yu's arm: "Talky, why don't you go and bring tea to the county lord and the two sons." β
The brother and sister sat down again, and Dongxue and Xiayu served tea and retreated to the side to wait.
After taking a few sips of hot tea, Xiao Keren finally relieved, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Second brother, it's really not easy. β
"What's easy and not easy?" Xiao Kexiao turned to Xuanbao, "Hurry up and get a reassuring pill for your third brother or something, he's stupid to see him." β
"Second brother, third brother wants to say that the past is haunted by ghosts, your life is not easy, it is not easy."
"That's right, that's what Xuanbao meant."
Xiao Keren finally came back to his senses, and in order to cover up his shame, he quickly changed the topic.
"Xuanbao, what's going on with Xiao Si? You look at him very wrong. β
When it comes to Xiao Kaili, Xiao Kexiao also looked at Xuan Bao with a straight face: "The look in your eyes when you look at him is the same as when you looked at me." β
"Yes, yes, yes, I feel that way." Xiao Keren asked eagerly, "Xuanbao, is the fourth brother okay?" β
Xuan Bao didn't hide it, tilted his little head thoughtfully: "The fourth brother doesn't seem to be the same as before, it looks a little wrong, but I can't say it yet." β
Primary 4 is not the same as before? The two brothers looked at each other, and they couldn't help but think about it.
After a while, Xiao Keren said first: "It's really a little different, don't say anything else, second brother, just looking at his performance today is not normal." β
Xiao Kexiao has less contact with his brothers, but after all, he is a brother, he watched Xiao Keyi grow up, and when he was reminded by the third brother, he also noticed that something was wrong.
"That's right, something is wrong with Xiao Si, he didn't speak today."
"Not only today, but he hasn't spoken much lately."
The brothers all showed anxious expressions and said in unison: "Xuanbao, you quickly think of a way." β
"Wait, wait." Xuan Bao raised his hands slightly to signal the two brothers not to worry, "I just guessed based on my feelings, but you two should tell me what is wrong with the fourth brother." β
"Xiao Si is the most upright, and he is also the most grumpy among our brothers." Xiao Kexiao explained.
Xiao Keren took over with a worried face: "Look at the last few times, whether it is in the hall or in front of his mother in Qinseyuan, he doesn't speak at all. β
Xuanbao's eyes lit up: "That's right, that's what's wrong." I remember that when I first returned home, the fourth brother always scolded me and quarreled with me for Xiao Mingzhu. β
"Youβdon't go to your heart." Xiao Keren couldn't open his mouth when he wanted to speak for Xiao Keyi, his previous hostility towards Xuan Bao was too obvious.
"Third brother, I'm not the kind of person with a small belly." Xuan Bao recalled, "I've been very busy lately, ignoring the fourth brother, and it's true that his performance doesn't look like him at all." β
Xiao Kexiao asked, "Xuanbao, the fourth brother shouldn't be a ghost, right?" β
"Hehe, second brother, your imagination is rich enough, although there is such a thing, but I can conclude that the fourth brother does not have the slightest ghostly energy."
"It doesn't look like someone has stolen luck." Xiao Keren blurted out to himself, "It's not like the eldest brother may have been replaced." β
"What?" Xiao Kexiao excitedly grabbed Xiao Keren's collar, "What did you mean when you said that the eldest brother was replaced?" β
Xuan Bao hurriedly stepped forward: "Heyββ! Second brother, don't get excited, don't get excited. β
"Let go, let go." Xiao Keren pointed to Xiao Kexiao's hand, "I said, I said." β
"This is also my guess, there is no evidence yet, I will tell you." Xuan Bao also said hurriedly.
Xuanbao saw his second brother Xiao Kexiao so out of shape for the first time, but thinking about it, he and Xiao Kezhong were the closest in age, and the relationship between the two was also close when they were young, and besides, in his mind, he was afraid that the eldest brother was really a bit of an eldest brother like a father.
After listening to the words of the third brother and sister, Xiao Kexiao took a few deep breaths before slowly letting go of his hand.
(See you tomorrow!) οΌ
