Chapter 181: Warm

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and then recognized that the girl with outstanding appearance in front of him was Xu Xing's daughter Xu Xueying, who he had met once a few days ago, although it was only a one-sided relationship, but the last time in the Xu family's living room, this girl's speech and demeanor, especially the act of kneeling to save his mother, still impressed him very deeply, and also made Shen Shi have a good impression of Xu Xueying, a girl.

Seeing her smiling and saluting herself at this moment, Shen Shi hurriedly bowed over and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Xu, I haven't seen her for many days, how are you doing lately?"

Xu Xueying's eyes were as bright as water, she looked in a good mood, nodded and smiled: "I'm fine, what about you, Brother Shen, why did you suddenly come to our house today?"

As soon as Shen Shi was about to answer, he heard Xu Xing's voice from the back room, but he heard his daughter's voice, and at this moment raised his voice on the bed in the back and said, "Xiaoying, don't be rude, what are you called big brother at a young age, Brother Shen is your father's life-saving benefactor, you have to call your uncle." ”

Xu Xueying pursed her lips when she heard this, looking a little reluctant, and it seemed that she was also very favored by Xu Xing on weekdays, and she didn't mean to be too afraid of this father, so she only snorted lightly and pouted: "What uncle, he is obviously not a few years older than me?"

Xu Xing sat on the bed and was furious, slapped the mattress and shouted: "What are you talking about, is there any etiquette, you don't have to let Brother Shen see the joke! Usually your mother really spoils you, and there are no rules at all." ”

Shen Shi was startled, hurriedly turned around and waved his hand at Xu Xing, and said with a smile: "Third Master Xu, stop being angry, why be angry about this trivial matter." In fact, I am indeed only a few years older than Miss Snow Shadow, and in the past, on Jinhong Mountain, I had a relationship with Sun You's peers, but he wanted to call you uncle, if you really want to talk about it, it is not an exaggeration for Miss Snow Shadow to call me a big brother, it should be so, it should be so!"

What he said here made Xu Xing's face look better, but when he looked at it, he was a little indignant, and glared at his daughter standing at the door angrily. It's just that Xu Xueying looked smiling, but she didn't see the slightest fear, she only smiled and asked Shen Shi: "Brother Shen, you haven't told me yet, why are you here today?"

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, thinking that Miss Xueying was also a member of the Xu family, not an outsider, so he said this roughly, Xu Xueying let out an "ah" after hearing this, and looked a little worried on his face, and then said: "I see, by the way, Brother Shen, are you going back to Xiyuan to see the two injured sisters now?"

Shen Shi nodded, agreed with a smile, and then turned back to Xu Xing in the house and said, "Third Master Xu, you take good care of your injuries, and I will come to see you after a while." ”

Xu Xing smiled and arched his hand.

Shen Shi walked out of the house, about ten steps away, suddenly only heard the sound of footsteps behind him sounded quickly, looked back, but it was Xu Xueying running over, and said: "Brother Shen, our house occupies a large area, and there are many courtyard corridors, outsiders who have just arrived will inevitably not be able to recognize the road, and Xiyuan is not close to here, let me take you back." ”

Shen Shi thought that this was really the case, the Xu family's mansion has been inherited for hundreds of years, and I don't know how many expansions and reconstructions have been undertaken, if it is not for people who have lived here for a long time, it is really easy to get lost. Shen Shi also wanted to go to the front yard of the mansion and find someone to inquire about the direction of Xiyuan, but he didn't expect that although Xu Xueying was only a girl in her early tens, she was a delicate and thoughtful girl, and she actually thought of this layer, so she nodded with a smile and said to Xu Xueying:

"That's the best, I'll thank Miss Snow Shadow first. ”

Xu Xueying pursed her lips and smiled, leading him forward, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, what is the relationship between those two sisters and you?"

Shen Shi choked for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said, "One of them is my fellow junior sister, and the other is mine...... Pal. ”

"Oh. Xu Xueying nodded and didn't say anything more.

The two of them walked through the hall all the way, walked through several corridors, and walked through a garden in the twists and turns, and after about a moment, Xu Xueying really took Shen Shi back to Xiyuan.

Shen Shi looked at the road, thinking that the Xu family deserved to be a century-old family, this mansion was really big and luxurious, and there was more than one path leading here, but this road felt like it might come from the backyard, it was more tortuous, and the walking time was a little longer than the last time.

At the same time, when Xiyuan heard the movement of Shen Shi and the others, he quickly reacted, Ling Chunni leaned out from the east wing, and when he saw that it was Shen Shi, he immediately showed a happy smile and waved at the door.

Shen Shi walked over with a smile, Ling Chunni first smiled at him, and then his eyes fell on Xu Xueying, who was following Shen Shi, stunned for a moment, and asked Shen Shi, "Stone, ......what is this girl?"

Shen Shi realized that Xu Xueying didn't leave immediately, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, so he hurriedly smiled and introduced: "Oh, this is Miss Xueying, the daughter of the third master of the Xu family, I went to visit Xu Sanye once, and Miss Xueying sent me back." ”

Ling Chunni said "ah", and before he could speak, he saw that Xu Xueying had already fallen and walked up without being afraid, looked at Ling Chunni, and said with a smile: "This must be Sister Chunni, I am Xu Xueying." I used to think about what kind of woman I could be with Brother Shen, but now that I see it, my sister is really a beautiful woman, and I see a beautiful woman. ”

Ling Chunni's cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't expect that the girl in front of her who had a noble family background and an equally outstanding appearance would have such a sweet mouth, but all women always have a love for beauty, not to mention being praised by a girl like Xu Xueying in person, she was also happy in her heart, but she was still a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are laughing, in fact, you are a natural beauty embryo." ”

Xu Xueying walked to her side, took her hand and said with a smile, just a few words, the two seemed to be a lot closer, which made Shen Shi look a little dumbfounded, and just saw the door open behind them, and vaguely saw Zhong Qingzhu still sitting on the bed, so he walked into the house first.

※※※

Seeing Shen Shi walk in, Zhong Qingzhu's face was pale, and he didn't have any more expressions when he looked at him, but after glancing at him silently, he moved his gaze to himself.

Shen Shi walked to the side of the bed, pulled over a round stool and sat down, just wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhong Qingzhu's silent and calm expression and even faintly rejecting people thousands of miles away, he suddenly had a feeling that he didn't know what to say, a little dazed, and a little embarrassed.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little cold, and the two of them sat very close, but they did not speak for a while. And not far from the door, Ling Chunni and Xu Xueying stood together, but kept talking, and from time to time there was a pleasant chuckle of two beautiful women like silver bells, it seemed that in a short time, they had really become friends with similar temperaments.

Inside and outside the house, separated by a door, the atmosphere is completely different.

Shen Shi frowned secretly, feeling that something was wrong in his heart, and when he was about to say something to alleviate some of the unexpected embarrassing atmosphere in front of him, he saw Zhong Qingzhu glance out of the door, and there seemed to be a trace of gloom in his eyes, and said softly:

"She's really beautiful, and she's so good-natured, and she's gentle, so everyone will like her, even the little girl who saw her for the first time today, right?"

"Hmm......" Shen Shi subconsciously responded casually, but after a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Chunni is such a person, in fact, you are much better than her in other aspects." As he spoke, he laughed, and said with a smile on his fingers,

"You are really, how can you think of comparing with her, your appearance is not inferior to her, your family background is better than her, not to mention in the cultivation path, talent and future Dao realm, even I can't compare to you, let alone her?

Saying that he laughed, Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth slowly showed a hint of a smile, and nodded slightly, looking a little happy, which eased the atmosphere in the room again, but in the depths of that smile, no one saw the depths of his heart, but there was a faint bitterness in the ups and downs.

※※※

In the blink of an eye, the day passed, and it was already dark, and it was already night.

At the invitation of the Xu family, Shen Shi also stayed in Xiyuan for the night, and a few candles lit up in the darkness of the night, lighting up the house in the east and west wings.

In the west wing, Ling Chunni, who finally had time to be alone, hugged Shen Shi and snuggled up for a while, and then whispered yesterday's events from beginning to end. It's just that he didn't have anything to think about at the moment, and casually told Ling Chunni that the Xu family was going to deal with the Beast Alliance.

Ling Chunni immediately said happily: "Is this matter serious, if it is true, as long as the Beast Alliance is removed, I will no longer have to hide and hide in the future." ”

Shen Shi nodded with a smile and said, "It should be so." I originally wanted to ask the head of the Xu family, can I also join in a little bit when I do my best against the beast alliance, and it can be regarded as repaying them for saving your life, but I was pushed back by the head of the Xu family, alas, this favor is a bit big, and it will not be good to pay it back in the future. ”

Shaking his head and sighing as he spoke, Ling Chunni looked at him with some concern and said, "Stone, is it because I ......?"

Shen Shi hurriedly interrupted her words with a smile, shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you, no matter how heavy and great the favor is, can it still be stronger than your life? As long as you are okay, it is the best." ”

Ling Chunni bit her lower lip, stared at Shen Shi, and suddenly hugged him deeply without saying a word, buried her head in his chest, and just hugged him like this without saying a word. Shen Shi patted her head with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay." ”

Ling Chunni straightened up a little shyly, turned around slightly, quietly rubbed his eyes, waited for a while and felt a little calmer, then turned his head, but saw Shen Shi sitting on the edge of the table in the room, took off the Ruyi bag on his waist, took out a lot of things from it and placed them on the table, some of which were flashing with beautiful light.

At the same time, Shen Shi beckoned to her and said, "Chunni, come here." ”

Ling Chunni walked up to him and sat down, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Shi said: "I'm going to go out hunting tomorrow morning, and I'll tidy up the talisman things I carry with me a little." As he spoke, he swept dozens of crystal clear spirit crystals from the table into a pile, pushed them in front of Ling Chunni, and said, "Right now, you may have to live here with the Xu family for a while, and you still have to bring some spirit crystals with you, and these will be collected first." ”

Ling Chunni hesitated, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly swept over the side out of the corner of his eye, but he saw a small thing that seemed to be a little different behind another pile of spirit crystals, and he couldn't help but reach out with some curiosity to pick it up, and take a closer look, but it was a dark black strange black spar, dotted with tiny silver dots, like the endless stars in the deepest dark night sky.

"Hey, what is this?" she asked, curious.

Shen Shi glanced at this side, stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "A useless thing, I don't know what it is for." ”

Ling Chunni looked at this black crystal curiously, and suddenly as if she had suddenly discovered something, she suddenly clasped her hands together, sandwiched this black crystal in the palm of her hand, with a little surprise and joy, and said to Shen Shi with a smile:

"Ah, this hedron is so warm!"
