That night, after several compatriots who grew up together in the Xiao family's compound raised their glasses to celebrate, while Xiao Xun'er was entangled by Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, Xiao Li patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, who was drinking.

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned.

"What's wrong with the second brother?"

Xiao Yan said with a hint of ambiguity in his tone.

"It's nothing, it's just that I want to talk to you about something alone, let's go, let's go up and blow the wind together?"

Xiao Li said.

Since it was the second brother who spoke, Xiao Yan naturally couldn't refuse, he gently put down the wine glass and walked onto the balcony with Xiao Li.

"I haven't had the spare time to ask you alone, how are you doing lately?"

Xiao Li slowly turned around and asked.

"It's good, isn't that what Kaoru and the others said just now?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Li with a hint of doubt and said.

It's just that Xiao Li couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "What I want to ask is not the answer they made for you, the second brother wants to hear your true thoughts." ”

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm very tired." ”

"Is it cultivation or affection?"

"Second brother?"

Xiao Yan's tone inevitably carried a hint of astonishment.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Looking at the stunned look on Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Li smiled, then turned around and glanced at Xiao Xun'er in the room, and said, "Of course, Xun'er's girl is fine, but why didn't you call your younger siblings?" ”

"What brother and sister, the ...... between Miss Wan and me"

"Are you trying to say nothing? No way? It's just a matter of time or time. ”

Xiao Li shook his head and said.

Xiao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's inconvenient, the Xiao family has a party, there are guests, it's not appropriate for me to call Miss Yun, not to mention that there is still Xun'er?" ”

"Oh, jealous?"

Xiao Li saw Xiao Yan's meaning, and couldn't help but wonder: "I just saw it, there seems to be some small contradictions between you?" I can't say it exactly, but the atmosphere is clearly not right. ”

"The atmosphere? What atmosphere? ”

Xiao Yan didn't react for a moment, and smiled bitterly after feeling the gaze from the second brother: "Actually, this is a sin of my own making. ”

As he spoke, he told Xiao Li about what happened to him during this time, especially the fact that he was in a hurry and almost caught fire in the backyard.

"Hehe, it's not really a backyard fire."

Xiao Li shook his head with a smile and said.

"Emotionally, it is inevitable that there will be jealousy, but if it doesn't work for the first time, it will be regarded as a preventive shot, after all, you can't just throw one away, right?"

"So this thing is actually not very good, man, who doesn't have the mind to have three wives and four concubines? Like me and your big brother...... Ahem, ahem, forget it, it's hard to say, but all in all, it's right to have this idea, and it's not wrong to want to do it, as long as you have the ability and responsibility. ”

Xiao Li patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and comforted him: "Besides, you are not a bad kid, originally your eldest brother and I, and my father guessed that you would only ask for two of you in the future, but I didn't expect another one, you really have the ability." ”

"As for the relationship between Kaoru and the girl I haven't seen, tsk, what's that sentence called? The crying child has milk to drink, and you can't snub the other side because of Xun'er's temporary grievances? People will indeed make compromises, and they will not complain, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, favoring one over the other, and it is unreasonable. ”

Xiao Li shook his head seriously in front of Xiao Yan: "In the future, they will be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, there is no need for this." ”

"Well, I understand that, second brother."

Xiao Yan nodded, and then changed the subject: "But second brother, how did you come to the Black Corner Domain?" This place in the Black Corner Domain is too dangerous, you are a great fighter......"

Xiao Yan's words didn't fall, but he couldn't help but be a little stunned, he felt the breath from Xiao Li, he was already a fighting spirit.

"Are you the only one who is improving?"

Xiao Li lightly slapped Xiao Yan's chest and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this is still the credit of my younger brother and sister, she was still busy not letting us tell you when she was there, and now it's been almost two years, and it's time to tell you about it." ”

"Oh, also, during the period before and after the three-year appointment between you and the Nalan family, the Xiao family also received a large amount of assistance from the Mitre family, and my father went to ask the person in charge of the Mitre family, and they only said that it was entrusted by the nobles."

In fact, Xiao Yan heard his father mention this matter later, but it was the first time he knew about the two brothers.

"People are so good to you, not even just good to you, it's hard to find you with a lantern."

Xiao Li said: "At this point, the remaining brothers can't help you, so I have to cheer you on." ”

Xiao Yan shook his head: "Of course I know this. ”

"It's just that Miss Wan probably won't be around me for too long."

"What? She's leaving? ”

"It's not about leaving, it's about going back."

Xiao Yan shook his head and corrected the second brother's statement.

"Oh, her mysterious family?"

This is not a secret in the eyes of the Xiao family, Yao Wan is too mysterious, so that there will be a mysterious family behind it as a support, and it is a possibility that you don't need to think about it.

"It's not just external, it's internal."

Xiao Yan thought about it, maybe she really needed to find someone to talk to while she was drinking, and said: "Miss Wan sealed the power of her bloodline to ensure that she would not be sensed by the family, but if she didn't awaken her bloodline for a long time, it would also be a harm to her own body. ”

"I don't want her to go at all, but maybe only if she leaves, her blood hurts herself, so it won't happen."

"That's right."

Xiao Li nodded silently, at this point, it was indeed unexpected.

"Then she's gone, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Li asked.

"Go chase her back, wherever she goes."

Xiao Yan's tone was very firm.

"What about the other girls? What are you going to do? ”

Xiao Li asked again, and the question became a little sharp.

"When I get her back, I'll pay them for the rest of my life."

"Ho-"

Xiao Li couldn't help laughing: "Well, don't say it's a lot of responsibility, but it's a little bit of a bit of a temperament." ”

"However, Xiao Yanzi, this world is very big, very big, if you look for it, whether it is time or space, it will become an invisible barrier, you have to learn to accept such a cruel reality, sometimes what you find may not be what you want."

Xiao Li's words were tantamount to pouring cold water on Xiao Yan, but they were also a reminder to his family.

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but say, "Why is the second brother suddenly as much as the eldest brother who loves to talk about big things?" ”

"What's wrong, don't you like to listen?"

Xiao Li smiled helplessly: "If you don't like to listen, you don't like to listen, I can't learn from your eldest brother, as for me being so old-fashioned, I didn't mean to pour cold water on you...... Let's put it this way, your eldest brother and second brother actually didn't really want to establish a mercenary group in the Tagor Desert at the beginning, after all, what kind of environment is that place, you also know, but since they have all been left, there is no way. ”

Xiao Yan listened, just nodded silently, but suddenly couldn't help but raise his head after hearing the Tagor Desert.

"By the way, second brother, why is it you who came this time, not someone else? What about the big brother? Are you still in the Tagor Desert? ”

"There's no way, the most talented young generation of the Xiao family is basically in Canaan Academy, the elders can't leave if there is something in the family, and others come to the Black Corner Domain, a place like eating people and not spitting out bones, that is looking for death, and only I can come."

"Your eldest brother and I are now in Stone Desert City, but the Desert Iron Mercenary Group is getting bigger and bigger, as for our safety, we don't have to worry, since Queen Medusa died in the Heavenly Tribulation of the Dou Zong, the snake people are now much more peaceful, and there have been few big moves in the past two years, and our mercenary group is now even less and less time to fight with the snake people, but they have begun to take more business in the business of trading dart cars."

Hearing a little comfort in Xiao Li's tone, Xiao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that when he heard the second brother mention the snake people, Xiao Yan couldn't help but say: "It's good to have less fighting and strife, but second brother, Queen Medusa is not dead, but she is not in the Tagore Desert for a while." ”

Xiao Li was stunned: "Oh? And what's going on? ”

"Well, it is estimated that in about half a year, she will also go back, and then the Tagor Desert will ...... It is estimated that it will not be too peaceful, and the second brother and eldest brother should be more careful. ”

Xiao Yan wanted to persuade the two elder brothers to simply stay in the Tagore Desert and go home, but before he could say it, he probably guessed that the two elder brothers would probably not give up so many years of hard work and siblings, and it was useless to persuade himself.

It seems that he can only think of a way on his side.

"Well, I know, I'll tell my eldest brother when I get back."

Xiao Li smiled and nodded, and then looked at the people in the room, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.

I thought that my father's hints were mostly referring to my younger siblings, but I didn't expect them to be all Xun'er...... Alas.

Xiao Li shook his head.

"What's wrong with the second brother?"

"Oh, nothing, go in and have some more?"

"Forget it, after chatting for a while, the wine has dissipated by itself, and I still don't drink it, I don't drink much from beginning to end."

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, and then turned on his fighting spirit, dispersing the wine in his body.

After the banquet was over, Xiao Li naturally did not plan to delay Xiao Yan to go back to practice, so he did not force the two of them to spend the night in the outer courtyard, but Xiao Yan was sober, but Xiao Xun'er was slightly drunk, so he could only lean slightly on Xiao Yan and staggered onto the griffin beast.

"Alright, Kaoru, let's go back."

Because he was really worried that Xun'er would not be able to catch him and fall from the sky later, Xiao Yan could only hold Xun'er with one hand and manipulate the griffin beast to fly back to the inner courtyard with the other.
