“…… However, you don't have to rush to me for the rest of the year. ”

Xiao Yan's words made Ziyan a little puzzled, and she couldn't help but say, "Why? ”

"I'm probably going to be out for the next few days."

Xiao Yan is colorful.

"Get out? You're leaving the inner courtyard? ”

Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, and the sweet pill in her mouth also lost her taste, and suddenly showed a reluctant expression, now Xiao Yan is a parent in her eyes, where can she be willing to let Xiao Yan go out, and hurriedly said: "Don't, isn't the inner courtyard very good, you don't have anything you want, I can't live without Xiao Yan!" ”

"Is there such an exaggeration as you......"

Seeing Ziyan's exaggerated expression of hugging her thighs and not wanting him to go, the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, even Miss Wan and Xun'er were not as enthusiastic as her.

She's good, she hasn't known each other for half a day, and this is one set after another.

"Okay, it's useless for you to tell me now, I came to the medicinal material management library in the inner courtyard this time for the medicinal materials called Yanluozhi."

"Now that I can't find this smoke branch in the inner courtyard, I can only try my luck in the Black Corner Domain."

Xiao Yan explained.

"That's right, that's okay."

Zi Yan heard the imperative in Xiao Yan's tone, and naturally it was not good to stop him again, but soon, she had other interests, and couldn't help but say, "Eh, it's better to be like this, right?" I'm going to go with you to the Black Corner? ”

"Forget it then."

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Do you think the Black Corner Domain is the inner courtyard?" That hellish place is very dangerous, and if I couldn't really find it, I certainly wouldn't want to go to that place. ”

"And what if you see some herbs there? Forget about Douwang, but what about Douhuang and Douzong, aren't we still a dish in the eyes of others? ”

"Woo......"

Xiao Yan's words did succeed in convincing Ziyan.

"Okay, okay, I just don't follow you."

Zi Yan pouted, obviously somewhat unconvinced of everything Xiao Yan said.

"If you don't go, you won't go, huh...... But when are you coming back? ”

Ziyan's words made Xiao Yan slightly stunned, and he pondered for a moment, after all, to be honest, he didn't think of this problem himself.

After all, if he went to the Black Corner Domain, it was just to try his luck again, and if he really couldn't find it, then he probably wouldn't stay in a hospitable place like the Black Corner Domain for long.

"Well, I think it's about seven days, and if you can't find it within seven days, then I won't look for it."

Xiao Yan thought about it, and then said.

"Okay, then I won't stop you, I hope you can go and come back early, I still have to save some of your pills."

Saying that, Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan's face and couldn't help but say, "Don't die, if you die, then what can I do?" ”

Xiao Yan didn't know that Ziyan was worried or cursing him.

"Okay, then I'll fight not to die."

Xiao Yan nodded vigorously in a matter-of-fact manner, just as he was setting up a reverse flag for himself.

After chatting with Zi Yan about the same, Zi Yan went back, and Xiao Yan quickly left the alchemy pharmacy in the inner courtyard.

Xiao Yan didn't have any ill feelings towards the little girl who was transformed into a demonic beast, but he liked her a lot, although she was a demonic beast, her nature was really not much different from that of a child, and she didn't feel like a bear child at all, and she could listen to her if she talked well.

As for this diner's request, it was really not difficult for Xiao Yan.

But just refining the medicinal materials once, this is much easier than refining the elixir or something.

After leaving the alchemy pharmacy, Xiao Yan didn't go to Miss Yun again, but went straight back to their residence.

It's just that on the way, he is still a little entangled, and what should he say when he sees Kaoru after a while.

Is it lying? Or let's be honest and prepare for a storm that might come right away? Or was it debunked in public?

There are inevitably too many things that seem to suit him, so that Xiao Yan really doesn't know what will happen to him.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Yan saw that Xiao Xun'er seemed to have been waiting for a long time, he secretly said that it was not good, but at the same time, he was unconsciously mentally prepared, after all, at this critical moment, Xun'er would run to practice or not get up yet, which basically meant that Chengxin was avoiding him.

If you can hide for a while, how can you hide for a lifetime? Xiao Yan muttered unconsciously in his heart.

"Kaoru'er?"

Xiao Yan subconsciously muttered, and as Xiao Yan walked into the courtyard, Xiao Xun'er's face showed a shallow smile, and those beautiful eyes revealed a long-awaited joy and a faint worry: "Brother Xiao Yan is back." ”

When he saw Xun'er standing in front of him, Xiao Yan's heart was inevitably a little weak, and when he saw Xun'er coming slowly with a worried but gentle smile, Xiao Yan had some hesitation and struggle in his heart, but in the end he simply took a turn and said, "Xun'er, in fact, I ...... last night."

Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Xun'er had already shook her head lightly, interrupting what Xiao Yan was about to say.

"Brother Xiao Yan doesn't need to explain, Xun'er actually knows everything......"

Xiao Xun'er took a deep breath and said softly, "I know, it's not to blame Brother Xiao Yan." ”

"Kaoru ......"

"Brother Xiao Yan has his own big things to do, and Xun'er understands it, so how can Xun'er blame Brother Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he thought that Xun'er would be furious if he didn't come back this time, and then talk to himself for a few days, but he didn't expect that the development of things far exceeded his original expectations.

The expected anger and cold war were nowhere to be seen, only the gentleness and faint loss on Xiao Xun'er's face.

This made Xiao Yan's heart suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.

"So...... So Brother Xiao Yan just do what he needs to do. ”

Xiao Xun'er stared at Xiao Yan in front of her, every word was fine.

Xun'er can measure him like this, Xiao Yan is happy, but he can't help but be a little worried.

Immediately, he explained to Xun'er that he was about to go to the Black Corner Domain to look for Yan Luozhi, and Xun'er naturally couldn't rest assured, but Xiao Yan insisted on doing so, so she naturally didn't want to stop it more.

It's just that it's not early today, Xiao Yan still needs to report to the Council of Elders, it will take almost half a day to go from the inner courtyard to Canaan City and then to Heping Town, and today is definitely too late.

Therefore, Xiao Yan still has to spend the night in the inner courtyard and set off tomorrow.

It's just that tonight is not destined to be so peaceful.

Xiao Yan, who was pranayama on the bed, slowly closed his eyes, but there was a familiar knock in his ears.

"Brother Xiao Yan, can you let me in?"

Xiao Xun'er's voice came from outside the door.

“…… It's Kaoru, what's the matter at this late hour? ”

Xiao Yan opened his eyes, looked out the door, and couldn't help but say.

"It's not important, I just want to talk to Brother Xiao Yan alone."

"The door is unlocked, Kaoru come in."

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, but in the end, he couldn't think of any reason to refuse Xun'er, and said.

With the creak of the door, the wooden door was gently pushed open, and a beautiful girl in a plain dress entered the dimly lit room through the brightly lit corridor.

"Brother Xiao Yan hasn't rested yet, I didn't disturb Brother Xiao Yan's rest, right?"

Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and didn't light the lamp in the room, and asked.

"It's okay, I don't plan to rest, but I'm just cultivating."

Xiao Yan shook his head: "Okay, don't stand stupidly, sit." ”

Xiao Xun'er was not polite, seeing Xiao Yan say this, she took a step forward, walked straight to Xiao Yan's bedside, and sat beside him.

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, his original intention was to let her sit at the table by herself, but he didn't expect Xun'er to be so active.

"Brother Xiao Yan has been so busy lately, he has no time to accompany Xun'er."

Xiao Xun'er naturally sensed Xiao Yan's vague embarrassment, and couldn't help but approach him and said softly.

"Well, that's true."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, he naturally couldn't be clearer about this, since he reunited with Xun'er, basically he didn't have much time to stay together, either in preparation for the selection in the inner courtyard, or the next fire energy hunting, and finally arrived in the inner courtyard, it was rare to go out with Xun'er, or to understand the recent situation in the inner courtyard.

Speaking of which, although I've been with Kaoru for a while, there's really not much time for the two of them to spend together.

Xiao Yan pondered, this time was indeed a snub for Xun'er, maybe when he was free, he should still accompany Xun'er more.

It's just that before he could say what he thought, Xun'er's pair of lotus arms wrapped around Xiao Yan's waist.

"It's okay, I know everything."

“…… Brother Xiao Yan is very busy, but there is no way to do it, I haven't reached the point where I just want you to accompany me more. ”

She chuckled lightly, signaling that Xiao Yan didn't have to make that kind of guarantee, what she wanted was never this kind of guarantee that she didn't know when she could fulfill it, if Xiao Yan was like this, then she would rather not.

"As long as I can be by Brother Xiao Yan's side, it's enough."

"Kaoru ......"

"Shh......h Don't talk. ”

Xun'er propped up her delicate body, let go of the lotus arm that wrapped around Xiao Yan's waist, and then raised her onion fingers and gently pressed Xiao Yan's lips.

"I want to accompany Brother Xiao Yan like this today, I don't want to hear any guarantees from Brother Xiao Yan, I just need Brother Xiao Yan to be by my side...... That's it. ”

Xiao Xun'er said softly, and the autumn water in her eyes pierced Xiao Yan's pupils.

Xiao Yan was silent, and in the end, he just sighed in his heart and nodded silently.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Xun'er's face.
