The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Huo Chunlei was a little overwhelmed, and asked with a red face: "It seems that my brother should be much more powerful than me, I don't know how much I can cultivate now?"

Xu Zhaonan thought about it, and didn't know what happy things he recalled, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Senior sister said, I can barely be regarded as a third-grade realm now." But I've never really fought anyone, and I don't know what kind of cultivation is. ”

"Then haven't you fought with Senior Sister Zun?" Huo Chunlei was puzzled.

Xu Zhaonan said with a smile: "I'm ashamed to say it, even if Senior Sister doesn't go all out, I can't even block a sword, and I can't really fight." ”

"What?"

Huo Chunlei was a little shocked and asked, "If you are really a third-grade realm, even if you don't have a sword that you can't stop with all your strength, isn't your senior sister a first-grade master?!"

"I don't know. ”

Xu Zhaonan shook his head, and said proudly: "Senior sister said that she is not a first-class master now, but once she realizes the Tao, she will directly enter the realm of the grandmaster!"

Huo Chunlei was even more shocked, Xu Zhaonan was a master of the three grades at a young age, and his senior sister even entered the realm of the grandmaster once enlightened, you know, not counting the world's first sword armor, there are only three grandmasters in the world, who can teach such a disciple, one of the three great grandmasters? But among the three major grandmasters, none of them use swords!

Huo Chunlei had no doubts about what Xu Zhaonan said, not because he had the grace to save his life. The reason for this is that he can see that Xu Zhaonan is not deeply involved in the world and has no scheming, so naturally he will not lie and deceive him, and his intuition also tells him that Xu Zhaonan is afraid that he is not lying.

Huo Chunlei said: "Dare to ask who the respected master is, and can teach such characters as you and Senior Sister Zun, I have been established for many years in the Sword Pavilion, and the world's celebrities also know a lot, but I didn't know that there was such a powerful character." ”

When Xu Zhaonan heard this, he suddenly realized that he had said a little too much. Master's name resounded all over the world, of course Huo Chunlei knew it, but the master had been immortal for many years, and the senior sister and others had already lived in seclusion, besides, in this Dongsheng territory, the master's name was like a taboo, even if Huo Chunlei was upright, it was still better to have more than one thing.

At this time, it was naturally inconvenient to continue, so he had to say: "The family teacher has lived in the mountains for a long time, and it is normal that Brother Huo has never heard of it, but the family teacher has explained, and he doesn't want me to mention his name, so please don't blame Brother Huo." ”

Maybe it was the first time in Xu Zhaonan's life that he lied, and after he finished speaking, his face was a little hot. Fortunately, the two of them had already drunk a lot of wine, and their faces were already red, but they didn't see anything unusual.

Huo Chunlei saw that he had a teacher training like this, so he didn't want to ask again and again, so he raised his glass and apologized: "That's me abrupt, the hermit master naturally has the temper of the hermit master, and the elder brother is inconvenient to say more, so I should compensate the elder brother." ”

Xu Zhaonan hurriedly raised his cup and touched him, and said, "Where is Brother Huo?" ”

Huo Chunlei's eyes were already red from drinking, and he was a little drunk, and said vaguely: "My brother has a teacher like this...... Sure ...... Promising...... There will be something in the future...... As a ......" before he finished speaking, he was already lying on the stone table, unconscious.

Seeing that he was drunk, Xu Zhaonan shook his head, took out two sobering pills from his arms, fed one to Huo Chunlei to help him swallow, and took one himself.

At this time, the fourth watch had passed, and the guys in the store had already rested, so Xu Zhaonan had to help Huo Chunlei back to the room on his shoulders alone, and then he also went back to the room to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Zhaonan, who had already woken up, was practicing cross-legged in the room, and he had been running the Liuhe Sword Duel for several weeks.

Xiaobai, who was lying on his stomach next to the bed, was still asleep.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, only to hear Huo Chunlei outside the door ask softly, "Brother, are you awake?"

Xu Zhaonan raised his voice and replied: "Is it Brother Huo? I'm already awake, Brother Huo, please come in, the door is not locked." ”

Maybe it was because the voice was louder, waking up Xiao Bai, who was sleeping soundly, Xiao Bai raised his head and glanced at Huo Chunlei who pushed the door in, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Huo Chunlei, who entered the door, happened to see Xu Zhaonan, who had finished his exercises, turned over and got out of bed, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "No wonder my brother has cultivated so deeply at such a young age, and he is practicing early in the morning, and I am far from it." ”

Xu Zhaonan smiled slightly: "It's like this every day, I'm used to it." Anyway, I was still waiting for Brother Huo to say goodbye after waking up, and I had nothing to do, so I meditated cross-legged for a while. ”

Hearing this, Huo Chunlei was a little reluctant to say, "Are you leaving?"

Xu Zhaonan nodded and said, "Although there is a letter left, it is only a day to return and it is time to go back." ”

"Alas. ”

Huo Chunlei sighed: "My brother and I hit it off at first sight, but unfortunately I should have rushed back as soon as possible to tell my father about the assassination, so that he could take precautions as soon as possible, otherwise I really want to keep my brother for a few more days." ”

Xu Zhaonan smiled and said, "There will be a long time in the future, and Zigui County and Nan'an County are not far apart, so there will always be a goodbye day." ”

Huo Chunlei suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and patted his head, and said, "Brother didn't say it, I almost forgot about it." Didn't I tell my brother yesterday, I want to hold a wedding ceremony with the second lady of the Pearl Building after I go back, and my brother must come to cheer up, when the time comes, my brother will stay for a few more days, let me do my best to be a landlord. ”

Xu Zhaonan was not polite and said, "Definitely." It's just that I don't know when the wedding date is, I must arrive in advance to congratulate Brother Huo. ”

"The eighth day of April next year. Huo Chunlei took Xu Zhaonan's hand again and explained: "Don't forget, brother, you must come when the time comes." ”

Xu Zhaonan clasped his hands, nodded and smiled: "Write it down, I will definitely go." ”

Huo Chunlei held Xu Zhaonan's hand all the way and sent him out of the store, intending to send him out of the city all the time, but Xu Zhaonan stopped: "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, Brother Huo, please stay, let me leave by myself, stay until the eighth day of April next year, and I will definitely go to disturb Brother Huo." ”

With that, the two said goodbye.

Xu Zhaonan rode on Xiaobai and shouted softly, "Xiaobai, let's go."

Xiao Bai suddenly increased his speed, only to see the white shadow flash, and in a moment, he had disappeared from Huo Chunlei's sight.

Huo Chunlei stood in place, looking at Xu Zhaonan's distant figure, and sighed in his heart, this Xu brother is so young and profound, and he is accompanied by strange beasts, he must be a person with great luck, and he is still so chivalrous, and he will help when he sees injustice, and his future will be limitless.

............

Xu Zhaonan rode Xiaobai, galloping all the way, not as slow as when he came, and it took less than an hour to rush back to Yaoshan.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain, Xu Zhaonan saw Bai Chujian, who was standing quietly on the top of the mountain and staring down, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, I'm back." ”

But Bai Chujian glanced at him faintly, didn't speak, turned around and walked back to the hut.

Xu Zhaonan was a little strange when he saw this, and scratched his head, although the senior sister has always been so cold, but her intuition told him that the senior sister's performance today seemed to be angry.

"Ouch. ”

Xu Zhaonan covered his head and let out a painful cry, he didn't need to look at it to know that he was beaten by Gu Sihai again, and he asked without knowing anything: "Uncle Gu, why are you beating me again?"

Gu Sihai said angrily: "Okay, you bastard boy! That day, Yixue came back alone, still holding the corner of your clothes in her mouth, and it was still full of blood, almost scared your senior sister to death." ”

Xu Zhaonan secretly screamed that this was the case, turned to Gu Sihai and said aggrievedly: "At that time, in a hurry, there was only a pen and no paper and ink, so I had to tear off the corner of my clothes and stain some blood, so that I could leave a letter for Yixue to bring back." I'm afraid that it will salivate too much and get confused with blood, and I have specially explained it. ”

When Gu Sihai heard him say this, he was immediately angry again, and he raised his hand to fight again.

"Okay, okay, just come back, don't fight. ”

Granny Sun came out of nowhere, came to the two of them, stretched out her finger and poked Xu Zhaonan's forehead, and blamed: "Tell me about you, what are you doing! Your senior sister didn't sleep all night worrying, and she watched you on the top of the mountain all morning today. ”

"Huh?"

Xu Zhaonan was taken aback, didn't he leave a letter, how could he still be like this? At that moment, he suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked Granny Sun, "Mother-in-law, what is going on?"

Granny Sun glanced at him angrily and said, "You go and ask the young master yourself." ”

After that, he took Gu Sihai and left.

Xu Zhaonan stayed where he was and grabbed his hair, unable to figure out what was going on, and finally, he stomped his feet and walked towards his senior sister's thatched hut.

When he came to the hut, Xu Zhaonan knocked lightly on the door and said, "Senior sister, can I come in?"

Fang Cai obviously saw his senior sister enter the house with his own eyes, but no one answered at the moment.

Xu Zhaonan knocked on the door again, this time in a louder voice, and asked, "Senior sister, are you inside?"

"Go farther. ”

Finally, Bai Chujian's cold voice came from inside the house.

Although he was scolding himself, Xu Zhaonan felt a lot more relieved when he heard it, and said with a grin: "Senior sister, then I'm in." ”

After that, he pushed the door and entered, and smiled toothily at Bai Hatsumi, who was sitting on the chair.

"Get out. ”

Bai Chu didn't even look at him, and said lightly.

"Hey, hey. ”

Xu Zhaonan smiled, naturally he wouldn't go out, I saw him take two steps forward and walk to Bai Chu to meet him, squatted down, raised his head and smirked: "Senior sister, don't be angry, didn't I leave a letter, I said that I saved someone in the mountains, and after sending him home, I will return tomorrow." ”

"Letters?"

Bai Chujian finally reacted, glanced at the stone table, and said coldly: "See for yourself." ”

Xu Zhaonan followed his senior sister's gaze and looked at the stone table, which was polished brightly, and only one object was placed on it—the corner of his clothes that he tore off.

Xu Zhaonan continued to squat and didn't get up, but just reached out, grabbed the corner of the clothes in his hand, opened it, and was stunned.

I saw bright red blood stains on the corner of my clothes and wrote, "Senior sister, I'm ...... Go home...... Don't be worried", the blood stains in other places have melted into a ball, and they can't be distinguished.

Xu Zhaonan looked up at Bai Chujian's expression, and then looked down at the strip of cloth in his hand.

After a long time, he held back a sentence: "Senior sister, shall we eat wolf meat tonight?" ”

At this moment, Yixue, who was squatting on the open space outside the house and sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up, looked around, and found that there was no danger, and then lay on the ground and continued to sleep.

Bai Chu saw that when he heard him say this, he pursed his lips and frowned, but he still didn't say a word.

However, Xu Zhaonan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was good to have a reaction, the senior sister was the most terrifying when she was expressionless, and then she put on a smiling face, looked up and smiled: "Senior sister, my home is in Yaoshan, where else do I have a home besides Yaoshan." I originally wrote that I rescued a man in the mountains today, and after sending him home, he would ...... tomorrow."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a drop of clear tears falling on Xu Zhaonan's face, although it was cold, it was like boiling water, dripping on his face and heart.

Seeing Bai Chujian, who had always been indifferent to everything, suddenly burst into tears, Xu Zhaonan suddenly panicked, immediately stood up, stretched out his finger and wiped Bai Chujian's face for a while, Bai Chujian didn't stretch out his hand to stop it, just shook his head to dodge.

However, the more tears were wiped, the more they were rolled.

Finally, Bai Chujian reached out and grabbed Xu Zhaonan's flustered hands, grabbed them, and choked up: "I thought ...... You're gone......"

"How could it be, how could I go. ”

Xu Zhaonan said anxiously.

"I thought...... You're gone......"

Bai Chujian didn't realize it, but repeated in a low voice to himself.

Xu Zhaonan was grabbed by Bai Chujian's hands, squatted down again, turned his face up, stared at Bai Chujian's red eyes, and the falling teardrops, and was silent.

After a long time, Bai Chu saw a hand let go of Xu Zhaonan, who was holding tightly, raised his hand to wipe his face, and said softly: "I thought you were gone." ”

Xu Zhaonan comforted softly: "I won't leave, even if my senior sister chases me, I won't." ”

Bai Chuxue choked up intermittently: "After I received the letter, I followed Yixue down the mountain, and when I arrived at that place, I only saw a place of blood...... I stood on the top of the mountain all night...... I'm going to wait for you for three days, if you don't come back...... In this life, there should be no one like you. ”

When Xu Zhaonan heard this, he secretly shouted in his heart that he was lucky, if he really listened to Huo Chunlei's words, he would stay in the backing city for a few days, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
