As soon as he went out, Qiao Yuan felt something, and quickly got up and opened the door, and entered with a smiling face.

"Brother Qiao, are you done cultivating?"

Zhan Yao looked up at Qiao Yuan, blinking her crystal peach blossom pupils, the pear vortex on her lips was clearly visible, and the whole person was filled with a youthful and lively atmosphere.

Qiao Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded.

"Then let's go out for a walk, it's too boring to stay in the room for the past few days. ”

Zhan Yao walked to Qiao Yuan's side as she spoke, wrapping her hands around his right arm, her pretty face pressed against her shoulder, revealing the appearance of a little daughter's family, looking like a little bird, very pitiful.

Qiao Yuan was slightly stunned, since Zhan Yao grew from a little girl to a big girl, she rarely showed this well-behaved and intimate appearance again.

What's going on today, look at this girl's eyes are clear and bright, and she doesn't seem to have anything on her mind.

Qiao Yuan retracted his gaze, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said with a chuckle.

"Xiao Yao, you hold me like this, how can I go. ”

Zhan Yao grinned and straightened her body, and then she stretched out her soft little hand and quietly grabbed Qiao Yuan's big hand.

Qiao Yuan's face did not show the slightest abnormality, but he secretly muttered in his heart, this girl is a little abnormal today.

But just in an instant, he put away his cranky thoughts, and secretly said that he was too sensitive.

After all, the two have lived together for more than ten years, and they are not worse than brothers and sisters, let alone holding hands, even if it is no more intimate contact.

Qiao Yuan smiled slightly, let the girl grab her hand, and walked towards the courtyard with clear eyes.

There are also some scenic places in the city, where there are no Jindan elders living there, and the two of them walked slowly, laughing and talking while enjoying the scenery along the way.

When the two of them slowly walked to a lake, Qiao Yuan still discovered Zhan Yao's abnormality.

She always looks at herself from time to time, and there are more and more intimate actions, and even her five fingers are gently interspersed into her five fingers, clasped hard.

"Xiao Yao, do you have something on your mind?"

Under a willow tree, Qiao Yuan stopped and looked at Zhan Yao with an extremely serious expression.

As soon as Zhan Yao heard this, he threw himself into his arms, his teeth biting his lower lip, and his eyes were full of reluctance and attachment.

"Brother Qiao, don't leave Xiao Yao, okay?"

"Xiao Yao, why do you say that, Brother Qiao didn't say that he wanted to leave you. ”

Qiao Yuan was confused when he heard it, but he had a doting smile on his face, touched Zhan Yao's head, and said softly.

"Brother Qiao, if one day you marry another woman, won't you leave Xiao Yao?"

Zhan Yaobei's teeth were slightly forced, biting out a deep mark on her pink lower lip, and at the same time, her small hands clasped with five fingers were also more forceful, as if she was afraid that Qiao Yuan would leave now.

When Qiao Yuan heard this, his expression was stunned, and the doting in his eyes slowly dissipated, revealing an indescribably complicated color.

It turned out that this girl heard the rumor when she was drinking that day, and she felt uneasy in her heart.

After thinking for a moment, the corners of Qiao Yuan's mouth rose again, reached out and touched Zhan Yao's head, and said softly.

"Xiao Yao, don't think about it. ”

"Brother Qiao, Xiao Yao doesn't care who you marry, I just hope that Brother Qiao will never leave Xiao Yao, okay?"

Zhan Yao's eyes were filled with moisture, obviously a little sad for Qiao Yuan's answer, she shook her head violently, her little hands clasped tighter and tighter, and tears were about to drip down as she spoke.

"Xiao Yao, don't cry, Brother Qiao promised you. ”

Qiao Yuan saw the tears in her eyes, his face showed distress, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears for her, and said gently.

When Zhan Yao heard this, she immediately raised the corners of her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes curved, revealing a bright smile.

Then she sobbed slightly, put her face directly on Qiao Yuan's chest, closed her eyes and felt the warmth in her heart.

Qiao Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, this girl is already so big, but she is still so dependent on herself, how will she get along with other men in the future.

Putting away his thoughts, Qiao Yuan put his left hand on Zhan Yao's back and patted it gently.

The two hugged each other under the willow tree, and if others saw them, I am afraid they would be mistaken for a little couple flying with wings.

"Okay, Xiao Yao, it's not good for others to see us like this. ”

Qiao Yuan was really afraid that someone would just see it passing by here, so he hurriedly stroked Zhan Yao's hair and said softly.

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhan Yao returned to her former liveliness and playfulness, and said with a small mouth.

But having said that, she got up with a slight flush on her pretty face, after all, Zhan Yao is a girl, and if she is seen, she will still be a little shy.

Contrary to expectations, as soon as the two separated, they saw a woman in a black power suit walking over with steady steps.

Qiao Yuan saw the angry look on the woman in black, and suddenly felt a huge headache, this is really thinking about something.

If it is seen by others, it is just a joke at most, but if it is seen by this Di Qingzhu, then I am afraid that a stinking scold will be light.

"Hmph, you're really not a good thing, my sister is really blind, and she looks at you like a prodigal. ”

Sure enough, before Di Qingzhu came closer, the sarcastic words with meanness reached the ears of the two directly.

Qiao Yuan's face sank, and he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Zhan Yao was the first to speak with an angry face.

"You woman, why do you speak so ugly, my big brother Qiao is a good thing,...... My big brother Joe is not a prodigal. ”

Although Zhan Yao is clever, she is not a person with mean and sharp words, and she made a joke when she opened her mouth, so that Qiao Yuan couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and almost laughed.

"Shameless, do you know that you are brother and sister!"

Di Qingzhu showed a trace of astonishment on her face, obviously caught off guard by this girl's words, and after a pause, she said with disdain in her eyes.

"Senior Sister Di, you misunderstood. ”

Qiao Yuan saw that Zhan Yao was still going to scold Di Qingzhu, so he hurriedly pulled her behind him, looked at Di Qingzhu, and said with an extremely serious expression.

He really didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't directly say that this girl was afraid that she would marry someone else, so she was reluctant and sad, and she comforted herself, which was the scene just now.

Although this is indeed the truth, it is impossible for him to say it, not to mention that nine out of ten people will not believe it.

"Hmph, misunderstanding? I can see it clearly just now, the two of you are really in love, and you still don't let go of this hand. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Di Qingzhu's mouth, and she said sarcastically, and as she spoke, she fell on the hands of the two of them with ten fingers clasped together.

Qiao Yuan looked extremely embarrassed, glanced at his right hand that was held by Zhan Yao, and was about to break free, but Zhan Yao frowned, looked at Qiao Yuan aggrievedly, and said softly.

"Brother Qiao, you don't care what she says, let's ignore her. ”

Qiao Yuan showed a wry smile on his face, and secretly said that if it was someone else, he would naturally ignore it, but Di Qingzhu was Ling Wanchen's senior sister, in case Di Qingzhu said bad things about him in Ling Wanchen's ear, then the matter would be even more troublesome.

Thinking of Ling Wanchen's violent temper, Qiao Yuan felt even more headache.

"Shameless!"

Di Qingzhu's cold gaze fell on Zhan Yao's face, and he said disdainfully.

As soon as she said this, Qiao Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, he looked at Zhan Yao and shook his head, withdrew his hand, and then took a few steps forward and said in a deep voice.

"Senior Sister Di, what do you want? I told you before, Xiao Yao is my sister-in-law. ”

"What do I want? What can I do? You two are happy, what do you do to me, but since you have someone else in your heart, don't provoke Senior Sister Ling again, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite." ”

Di Qingzhu sneered again and again, and said extremely unceremoniously as she approached her, and the coercion around her was faintly diffused as she spoke, as if she was about to fight if she disagreed.

"Senior Sister Ling?"

When Zhan Yao heard Di Qingzhu's words, she immediately understood why this woman was so angry for no reason, it turned out that she was fighting for her junior sister.

Thinking of this, she felt a little bitter in her heart, and understood that Qiao Yuan was indeed the woman named Ling Wanchen who was happy with her heart, otherwise Qiao Yuan would not have said so much to Di Qingzhu at all.

"Senior Sister Di, you really misunderstood, Xiao Yao and I are not the kind of relationship you think. ”

Qiao Yuan didn't know how to explain, and he didn't want to leave like this, so he could only say some pale and weak words.

"Hypocrite, when my junior sister comes out, I must expose your true face to her. ”

Di Qingzhu's words were full of contempt and sarcasm, and he turned around without looking back after speaking.

Qiao Yuan was in a hurry, and hurriedly chased after him, although he didn't know how to explain, he couldn't let Di Qingzhu misunderstand.

But as soon as he caught up, Di Qingzhu's eyebrows furrowed, his beautiful eyes flashed, and he directly clenched his fist and smashed it towards Qiao Yuan's chest.

Qiao Yuan's eyes froze, and he was about to turn sideways to avoid it, but after thinking about it, he stopped retreating and let the punch hit his chest.

With a muffled snort, Qiao Yuan only felt a sweetness in his throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out violently, and the whole person stepped back a few steps before stopping.

Di Qingzhu's punch just now showed no mercy, Qiao Yuan only felt that the ribs in his chest were broken, but his body was straight, without the slightest intention of retreating.

"Brother Qiao, you ...... Why don't you hide?"

Zhan Yao hurriedly stepped forward to hold Qiao Yuan's arm, her pretty face was full of care and distress.

Di Qingzhu looked at his right hand that was still holding the punching motion, and he also wondered why he didn't dodge.

Di Qingzhu could see that Qiao Yuan was obviously about to dodge sideways just now, but for some reason he stopped again.

"Senior Sister Di, please believe me. ”

Qiao Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were clear, and he said with an extremely serious expression.

For some reason, when Di Qingzhu saw Qiao Yuan with this appearance, he remembered the scene when he was in March Peak and was almost killed by his master in order to see Ling Wanchen.

Slightly loosened in her heart, Di Qingzhu's eyes were sharp, and she looked at Qiao Yuan for a long time, and then she glared at him fiercely, and turned away without saying a word.

Qiao Yuan saw Di Qingzhu leave without saying a word, and her heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she didn't believe in herself at all.

Thinking of this, the corners of Qiao Yuan's mouth pulled up a relaxed smile, and he suddenly felt that the punch he had just received was worth it.

"Xiao Yao, let's go back. ”

Although it was not a big deal to break a few ribs, it also needed to be recuperated for two days, so Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao walked slowly towards their own courtyard.

However, the two of them had just returned to the courtyard, and before the ban could be opened, a messenger occurred at the door.

Qiao Yuan's consciousness swept away, his face immediately showed joy, and he hurriedly walked towards the meeting hall with Zhan Yao.

"Brother Qiao, what's wrong?"

Zhan Yao blinked her big curious eyes and hurriedly asked.

"Senior Brother Lian is back, let us go to the council room. ”

Qiao Yuan explained casually, thinking in his heart that he wondered if there would be a Yuan Infant Elder coming over this time.

After a while, the two of them walked into the conference hall, and at this moment, except for Lian Jingshan, Lu Nan, and Tian Wu, the others in the hall had not yet arrived.

However, as soon as Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao sat down, Di Qingzhu walked in quickly, she glanced at Qiao Yuan coldly, and then sat down in her seat without saying a word, closed her eyes and waited.
