Bai Yichen was startled, looked at her with a confused expression, for a long time, he swallowed his saliva, and walked a few steps forward slowly, Ah Xiao snatched the oil paper from his hand, and then pulled him to the position next to him and sat down.

Bai Yichen reacted, hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms, wrote something on it, and handed it to Ah Xiao with both hands.

Ah Xiao took the paper and glanced at it: I didn't expect the senior brother to scold you, I'm sorry.

Looking at the three words 'sorry', the corners of Ah Xiao's mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and the sharpness in her eyes was gradually replaced by inadvertent gentleness, she turned her head to look at him, and said with a light smile: "Don't be sorry." ”

She returned the paper to him and continued to eat the buns.

The evening breeze gently blew through the trees, the fallen leaves fell lightly, and the two shadows that stopped on the ground, he turned his head to look at him from time to time, and when she turned his head, he lowered his head again, and under the backlight, her face gradually showed a gentle smile that even she herself did not notice.

Just after the hour, the bell on the Ling'an Hall floated from afar, and the echoes of the emptiness continued to linger in the air, breaking the quiet night.

Ah Xiao finished eating the buns, turned her head to look at Bai Yichen, who was sitting quietly beside her, and her red lips lightly opened: "Don't always look for Chen Feiyuan in case of trouble, he won't be there all the time." ”

Bai Yichen looked at her in confusion, his eyes full of questions.

Ah Xiao sighed lightly and said softly: "Instead of someone to rely on, it is better to protect yourself." ”

Bai Yichen took out a piece of paper and wrote on it: What do you mean?

He was about to hand the paper to Ah Xiao, when a gentle voice like a breeze sounded in his ears: "If you are not afraid of anyone, you are not afraid of anything, no one will dare to bully you." ”

Ah Xiao got up and left, he got up slowly, looked at her back, the slender figure looked a little lonely and lonely in the candlelight, recalling the ruthlessness when she taught Qiran during the day, and Ah Xiao, who was peaceful and quiet at the moment, seemed to be a completely different person.

Ah Xiao walked behind a stone wall and stopped, she lowered her head, looked at the slender shadow in the moonlight, without any worries, she was not afraid of anything, just like she is now, without any worries, there is nothing to fear, and the only thing that accompanies her is her own shadow.

At midnight, the morning bell rang on time, the sky was slightly bright, and the morning light faintly paved a faint light for the inner courtyard of the house, faintly illuminating the path hidden in the shade of the trees, the dormitory was lit up with candles, and the disciples all got up to freshen up, and the courtyard gradually became lively.

After Ah Xiao finished grooming, she sat on the cushion and waited for the well-dressed Luan Yiran, when a female disciple knocked on the door and shouted, "Luan Yiran, Ah Xiao, there is a person named Mu Yangsheng who asks you to hurry up, he is waiting in the courtyard." ”

Luan Yiran carefully selected the hairpin, and shouted in response: "Got it!"

Ah Xiao was also a little impatient, if it weren't for this girl crying and shouting to go together this morning, she wouldn't have waited so long.

After nearly half a pillar of incense, Luan Yiran got ready to go out, she pulled Ah Xiao to the courtyard with an excited face, Mu Yangsheng and Feiyang were already waiting to stomp their feet, seeing Luan Yiran, Mu Yangsheng ran over with an angry face.

"Luan Yiran, what are you rubbing, you're going to be late! Going to school is not going to a banquet, what are you dressing!" Mu Yangsheng shouted as he ran.

Luan Yiran glanced at him, and said: "What do you know?,Today is the first time we've gone to the school park.,There must be a very good-looking senior brother there.,I don't have to make friends with others!"

Mu Yangsheng sneered: "Make friends, can you be a little girly, can you be a little reserved? You don't know the difference between men and women!"

Luan Yiran looked at him and raised his voice: "Who said that girls must be reserved! My father has told me since I was a child, it's good to be happy, and ah, who said that you men are only allowed to find girls, I can also find good-looking sons!"

"You!" Mu Yangsheng scolded and retorted, but seeing Luan Yiran's indifferent face, his face turned red with anger, he waved his sleeves, turned around and strode out of the courtyard.

Fei Yang looked at the son who was gradually moving away, and then looked at Luan Yiran with a smug smile on his face, he didn't know what to do, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and still ran away with Mu Yangsheng.

Luan Yiran turned her head to look at Ah Xiao proudly, smiled at her cutely, and ran after Feiyang by her arm.

The school garden of the Purple Star Sect,It is a garden dedicated to the disciples to learn knowledge,On weekdays,In addition to the conscious practice of the disciples every day,You have to get up at the middle of the day to go to the school garden to listen to the study,Until noon to rest,After noon,You can arrange your own time。

Luan Yiran and Mu Yangsheng came to the door of the school noisily all the way, Ah Xiao and Fei Yang followed quietly behind the two, just about to go in, a person came next to Ah Xiao, she turned her head to look, the face wearing a mask, the corners of the mouth without a smile, this person, has seen her body!

Ah Xiao glanced at Ye Ying fiercely, squeezed away Luan Yiran and Mu Yangsheng and walked in, Mu Yangsheng was about to scold her for pushing people, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Ye Ying behind him, he immediately put on a smiling expression, and shouted kindly: "Brother Ye, it's early." ”

Ye Ying was stunned, the pair of black eyes hidden under the mask slowly moved to Mu Yangsheng's face, and for a long time, he said leisurely: "Morning." After speaking, he bypassed the two of them and strode into the school.

Receiving Ye Ying's response, Mu Yangsheng was very happy, and pulled Fei Yang over, his eyes full of joy and cheered: "He actually talked to me! ”

Fei Yang saw him so happy, and he also laughed.

Luan Yiran asked curiously, "What method?"

Mu Yangsheng said: "Of course, I used my enthusiasm to melt his coldness." ”

Luan Yiran complained: "Cut, it's hard to hear, isn't it just using a hot face to stick to other people's cold farts stocks, what kind of method is this." ”

Mu Yangsheng's face suddenly darkened, and just about to say something, Luan Yiran turned around and walked in directly, he didn't even have a chance to speak, he was so angry that he stomped his feet.

The courses that the disciples have to take are very simple, but they are to learn the use of incense and medicine, as well as some basic magic theories, the teaching demonstrations of the elders who give lectures, and the learning in the school are all knowledge from books.

Ah Xiao has been distracted all morning, she sat by the window, scribbling on the paper with a pestle in one hand and a pen in the other, staring out of the window with blank eyes, very strange, her thoughts are always unable to concentrate, inexplicably she will remember what happened in the yard last night, he gave her a bun, sat quietly with her, his laughter, his ......

"Ah Xiao!" Qu Jiangliu, an elder who was lecturing, noticed that Ah Xiao was wandering, he frowned, and roared angrily.

Ah Xiao came back to her senses, she sat up straight slowly, and looked at Qu Jiangliu with an angry face with tired eyes, "What are you doing." ”

Qu Jiangliu smashed the book in his hand on the table, got up and strode over, and scolded as he walked: "What are you asking me for, don't you listen carefully, what are you doing looking outside, you repeat what I just said." ”

Ah Xiao didn't even look at him and said, "I don't know." ”

"You, I don't know, okay you, yesterday at the apprenticeship ceremony, you didn't pay attention to etiquette, there were Qingming Jun and An Yuexia interceding for you and protecting you, now you don't listen well to my lectures, no one teaches you what etiquette is?" Qu Jiangliu roared angrily, and spit Xingzi sprayed A Xiao's face.

She raised her sleeve in disgust and wiped her face, the movement was very obvious, and the few people sitting around her couldn't help but laugh. Ah Xiao looked at Qu Jiangliu calmly, and said coldly: "No one teaches, I really don't understand." ”

Qu Jiangliu was so angry that his face turned white, he sighed deeply, and said angrily: "Isn't your master Ming Muli? What about your father and mother? Didn't they teach you well, they don't know the most basic etiquette, and I really don't know what kind of parents can raise a girl like you." ”

Luan Yiran couldn't listen to what she said, she was about to stand up and help Ah Xiao speak, but as soon as she got up halfway through, she was pulled down by Mu Yangsheng, who was sitting in front, he quickly shook his head and persuaded: "This is not your Donghai, don't upset the elders." ”

Luan Yiran glared at Qu Jiangliu's back fiercely, and sat down with a helpless sigh.

However, Ah Xiao was not angered by Qu Jiangliu's words, she had no father or mother, Qu Jiangliu's words did not have any stimulating effect on her, and Ming Muli, she really didn't teach her anything, so at this moment, what Qu Jiangliu wanted to scold had nothing to do with her.

Qu Jiangliu saw that Ah Xiao didn't react for a long time, feeling as if he was talking to a piece of wood, there was an inexplicable embarrassment, as an elder of the Purple Star Sect that everyone admired, how could he stand to be ignored like this.

"Ah Xiao, after today's study, you go back to the dormitory for me to face the wall and think, and before the end of tomorrow morning, you are not allowed to step out of the dormitory for half a step. Qu Jiangliu raised his voice and shouted.

Ah Xiao's eyes lit up, looked up at him, and said slightly: "I'm not going." ”

"You!"

Ah Xiao interrupted his words and said in a deep voice: "The sect master has something to do with me, you want me to face the wall, go ask him first." ”

Qu Jiangliu was speechless for a moment, he hated it most when others used Qingming Jun to suppress him, who didn't know in the entire immortal cultivation world, the old sect master had a total of four apprentices, which were the four elders today, the eldest apprentice Qu Jiangliu, the second apprentice Ye Bai, the third apprentice Ye Changfeng, and the fourth apprentice An Yuexia.

However, before the death of the old sect master, he passed the position of the suzerain to the second apprentice Yebai, who was not favored at that time, and Qu Jiangliu was also very dissatisfied with Yebai, making things difficult everywhere, fortunately, Ye Changfeng has always been very supportive of his brother Yebai, and An Yuexia often fought against Qu Jiangliu many times in order to protect Yebai.

Qu Jiangliu did not hide his dissatisfaction in his heart, and said angrily: "Okay, you go, you won't use my classes in the future!" After speaking, he turned around and walked back to his position and sat down.

This is the best! Ah Xiao rejoiced silently in her heart.

With the sound of a bell, the listening class was finally over, Luan Yiran pulled A Xiao to the cafeteria, Mu Yangsheng pulled Ye Ying Feiyang to follow behind the two, talking and laughing very happily.

The five of them walked to a corner, several female disciples accidentally bumped into them, Luan Yiran was unsteady and fell backwards, she subconsciously grabbed Ah Xiao's arm, fortunately, Ah Xiao was stable, quickly adjusted her standing posture, and supported Luan Yiran, who fell first.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're all right. The three female disciples hurriedly apologized.

Luan Yiran shook her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, there's no need to apologize, you didn't mean it." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, suddenly there was a sound of something falling on the ground, Ah Xiao looked down and saw that it was her jade pendant, she quickly let go of Luan Yiran, picked up the jade pendant in a hurry, and carefully stuffed it into her arms, losing her support, Luan Yiran fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Mu Yangsheng and Fei Yang hurriedly went over to help Luan Yiran up, Ah Xiao walked to the side quickly, turned her back to the four of them and carefully checked the jade pendant, the pendant left by her grandfather, she finally glued it up piece by piece with paste, if she fell again, she would never recover.

Luan Yiran saw her jade pendant so precious, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Ah Xiao, your jade pendant is fine." ”

Hearing her voice slowly approaching, Ah Xiao hurriedly took the jade pendant back into her arms, turned to look at her, shook her head and said, "It's okay." ”

Mu Yangsheng walked over and teased: "I see that piece of jade pendant is broken, and you stick it again, if you like it, as a friend, I can give you a piece." ”

"Who wants you to send it!" Luan Yiran turned her head and yelled at him, then took Ah Xiao's arm and said gently, "Ah Xiao, what kind of pendant do you like, I'll buy it for you." ”

Ah Xiao shook her head and said, "No, I just need this piece." ”

"But it's all broken. Fei Yang said puzzled.

Ah Xiao lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, without a look, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, no matter how bad it was, this was what her grandfather left her, and no matter how good the treasure was, it couldn't replace it.

Luan Yiran saw that Ah Xiao's face was not very good, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, Ah Xiao must like that jade pendant very much, how can this favorite thing be comparable to those that can be bought casually, let's go, there will be no food to eat for a while." As she spoke, she took Xiao's arm and left.

At the time, Ah Xiao came to the Qingming Hall on time, standing at the door of the hall, she knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, there was a cold voice from the night: "Come in." ”

Ah Xiao pushed open the door without hesitation, and suddenly, a faint sandalwood came to her nose, her steps were stunned for a moment, and then continued to walk inside.

She had just taken two steps when Yebai's voice came from behind the peony screen again: "Close the door." ”

Ah Xiao frowned impatiently, turned around and went back to close the door, and then strode around the screen to the bookcase, Ye Bai sat in front of the table, he brushed his sleeve with one hand, and drew something on the paper with a pen in the other.

Ah Xiao looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Can you think of how to seal the spiritual power in my body?"

Yebai's hand holding the pen stopped, and then, he glanced up at A Xiao and said, "There is a way, but there is a condition." ”

Ah Xiao sighed lightly, she knew that there was no free lunch in the world!

She nodded and asked, "What conditions." ”

Yebai mentioned his name on the painting, then put the pen aside, put his hands on his knees, looked at Ah Xiao, and said solemnly: "Worship me as a teacher." ”

"What?" Ah Xiao couldn't believe her ears, let her worship him as a teacher, and if she was going to be trapped on this mountain, she couldn't go anywhere?

"Worship me as a teacher, and I will help you. Yebai repeated it again, his expression was very serious, and his tone was so serious that people didn't dare to be sloppy, Ah Xiao's eyebrows were furrowed, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time.

She didn't want to be trapped in the mountains like before, especially in this place where there were many rules and people, even if she was allowed to go back to the Quling Barren Mountain, it would be better than here.

"Why do you want to take me?" asked Ah Xiao solemnly.

Ye Bai stared at her, his eyes seemed to contain complicated feelings, and he said slowly: "Because, you are Li'er's apprentice, I have the responsibility and obligation to take care of you for her." ”

"Don't bother, I just need your help to seal the spiritual power in my body, and I can take care of myself. Ah Xiao immediately refuted his words, she hated this place, and when she thought of Qu Jiangliu and Qi Ran's faces, as well as the headache of the five hundred sect rules, she didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Yebai sighed and said, "I know that what happened in the past two days makes you not want to stay here, but if you want me to help you seal your body...... Spiritual power, the only choice is to stay here. ”

"I can also leave it unsealed. Ah Xiao said coldly, she will lose consciousness when her spiritual power attacks, at that time, at least she can sleep peacefully, and what is the difference between leaving her here and being a prisoner.

Her tone was very willful, and Yebai's eyebrows slowly furrowed, and her eyes looked at her with a little disappointment.

After a long time, Yebai never said a word, he just looked at Ah Xiao quietly, and Ah Xiao felt very uncomfortable with his complicated eyes, she could feel that he seemed to want to say something.

I don't know what's going on, at this moment, on the Qingming Jun in front of her, she actually felt the breath of Ming Muli.

After a long time, Ah Xiao's legs were numb, and when she had no patience to continue waiting, Yebai finally moved, he raised his hand, took a black wooden box placed on the table in front of him, and slowly opened it.

As the lid of the wooden box was lifted, wisps of pale white gas slowly drifted out of the box, slowly wafting in the room, and the place it passed through was cool to the bone, and it seemed much cooler in this hot summer.

Yebai took out the contents of the box and put it in his palm, Ah Xiao squinted, it was a pendant, the black braided rope was connected to a purple stone shaped like a peony, and the stone emitted a faint purple light to illuminate the room brighter.

In order to wait for Ah Xiao to ask, Yebai said: "This is the Purple Star Stone, it contains great power, wearing it, it is enough to suppress the uncontrolled spiritual power in your body." So saying, he reached out and handed her the pendant.

Ah Xiao hesitated to take it, she put the purple star stone in her palm, the stone was really very aura, it seemed to know that Ah Xiao was staring at it, and the purple light suddenly became flashing.

Ah Xiao's frowning eyebrows unconsciously stretched, this stone ...... There seems to be a familiar feeling, where did this feeling appear?

Ye Bai saw her looking at Zixingshi in a daze, he lowered his eyes thoughtfully, "Put it on, tonight is the day of the full moon, and soon, the moon will come out." ”

Ah Xiao glanced at him, hesitated for a while, and still put on the pendant.

After a while, Ah Xiao didn't have any special feelings, she inexplicably doubted whether this pendant was really reliable, looked at Yebai with a skeptical attitude, and asked, "Is this stone really useful?"

"Her stuff, how can it be useless. Yebai looked at her, and his eyes were complicated again.

The feeling of wanting to say something, but always wanting to say and stopping, made Ah Xiao feel very awkward, she deliberately turned her head to avoid, what did this Qingming Jun want to say?

He looked at her eyes, as if he was worried about something?
