After talking a lot and chatting for a long time, the night faded away, the dawn of dawn tore apart the darkness, and everything seemed to be reborn, full of vigor and vitality.

The early morning dew stained the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Xiao Nianchen had already woken up a long time ago, threw himself into Lu Chen's arms, and asked him with concern how his injuries were. And before speaking, Lu Chen also learned from Qin Shusheng's mouth that the old man had run out of life, because his life before going to the Gongsun family and the Qin family was too poor, and his essence had been exhausted.

For the old man, the Qin family of the Gongsun family held a beautiful funeral, at least let him go peacefully.

Xiao Nianchen was also completely entrusted to the Gongsun family and the Qin family.

However, as far as she is concerned, it is a vast sea of people, and only Lu Chen can be regarded as a relative, the Gongsun family, the Qin family, or the stepfather Qin Tian, after all, has never left anything in Xiao Nianchen's heart.

If it is changed to the past, probably the old man will die, and Xiao Nianchen will have to be displaced again.

Everything now was brought to her by Lu Chen.

The "big brother" that sounded again and again also made Lu Chen's whole heart soft, he held her in his arms, approved her clothes again, and after Qin Shusheng and the others also said that they would help prepare for the main hall and left, the two went outside together.

Look at the wind, look at the clouds, see the dew stain the flowers.

It's rare to be so tranquil and carefree.

"Big brother, is it really okay with your life's injuries?"

Xiao Nianchen's body is still the same as in the past, he has never grown up, and the whole person is shrunk in Lu Chen's arms, and his delicate little face is raised, and his big eyes are full of concern.

"Of course it doesn't matter anymore. ”

Lu Chen smiled and did not mention the old man.

Perhaps in Xiao Nianchen's heart, the old man's departure was an irreparable pain, and now he knows that Lu Chen will never uncover this scar again. Just thinking about it, in the future, I should go to the Gongsun family and the Qin family, after all, Xiao Nianchen is only alone now, although Qin Shusheng also takes care of him very much, Xiao Nianchen also seems to like Qin Shusheng very much, but in Lu Chen's opinion, there is always a slight gap between them.

No matter how considerate and caring you are, or you like it, you can't treat it as a relative after all.

"Nianchen is now a little surprising to the eldest brother, he has only been seen for a few years, and he has already achieved the cultivation of the Nirvana realm. In contrast, the big brother is too bad, and there is no improvement compared to the beginning, so he can't even do it. ”

Lu Chen looked at Xiao Nianchen in his arms, and he was really happy in his heart.

"When I first saw Nianchen, it was Nianchen who saved the eldest brother, and the eldest brother originally wanted to protect Nianchen well, but he didn't want Nianchen's ability to be above the eldest brother now. It seems that in the future, it will be Nianchen who will protect the big brother, but it will not be the big brother who will protect the little Nianchen. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Nianchen blinked his eyes and laughed out loud.

Her fingers pinched the placket of Lu Chen's chest, and her little face was also close to Lu Chen's body.

"Nianchen has always practiced very hard, and he never dared to be greedy for fun, even if the sixth grandfather asked me to play, I wouldn't go, I just thought that if the big brother was in trouble in the future, Nianchen had to have the strength to help the big brother. If Nianchen is too playful and slacks off in his cultivation, if there is a bad guy who wants to kill the big brother, the big brother also needs Nianchen, but Nianchen has no ability, then Nianchen will regret his death..."

Lu Chen was immediately stunned, and he also had some doubts in his heart.

Xiao Nianchen is sensible, but she is not deeply involved in the world, and in the Gongsun family, the Qin family can only practice with peace of mind, especially now that the great elder of the Qin family has betrayed with those existences that threaten her, and set up another Qin Gate, Xiao Nianchen should be carefree, how could he think of this?

"Did someone tell you anything?"

Gongsun Liang?

Qin Shusheng?

They take good care of Xiao Nianchen, and they shouldn't talk too much to make Xiao Nianchen worry about it. Another example is how much Qin Tian values Xiao Nianchen, he is very happy in his heart, and he has to hold it in his hand for fear of falling, and he definitely won't let her worry. However, who will make Xiao Nianchen understand this?

"It's grandpa who said it, but Nianchen himself understands it. ”

Xiao Nianchen raised his head high, wrinkled his nose again, and his white and tender little hands suddenly stretched out, touching the ugly mask on Lu Chen's face, his big eyes were full of grievances, and gradually overflowed with water.

"When I first met the eldest brother, the eldest brother was chased and killed, and he was covered in blood, and he was so seriously injured, there must be a bad guy chasing the eldest brother, otherwise he wouldn't have been so embarrassed to go to the out-of-town village in Los Angeles. If Nianchen hadn't been around that day, the big brother would definitely be in trouble, and it wasn't certain whether he would have survived. Grandpa told Nianchen before leaving, saying that the eldest brother has experienced a lot and is burdened with a lot, and his eyes are full of loneliness and vigilance... Nianchen doesn't understand this, but Nianchen knows that no one hurts the big brother..."

She pursed the corners of her lips, her fingers gently rubbing Lu Chen's mask.

The rough feel is not very pleasant, it is icy and cold, and it is uneven.

"Big brother's mask is different from before, obviously it hasn't been changed, but it can't be seen in its original appearance, and it has cracked so much, it must have gone through a lot of trouble. Just like my grandfather said, the eldest brother has a difficult life, just like many people, struggling on the road of cultivation, and wandering on the edge of life and death every day. But Nianchen has already endured all the hardships, and has endured the bitterness, no one will bully Nianchen again, and there are so many brothers, sisters, grandparents, and mothers-in-law to take care of Nianchen, the future will definitely be smooth sailing. But grandpa also said that it was the eldest brother who gave Nianchen this opportunity, no matter what, Nianchen can't forget the eldest brother, and he has to repay the eldest brother. ”

Xiao Nianchen pursed his mouth, and suddenly got up and hugged Lu Chen.

He was still a little stunned.

"Nianchen has always known that it was the eldest brother who gave Nianchen such a good life and gave Nianchen the opportunity to cultivate. Therefore, Nianchen has to cultivate well no matter what, and repay the eldest brother. Moreover, Nianchen also knows a lot of things. The big brother has no father and mother, and no one hurts anymore, but Nianchen hurts the big brother, just like the sisters, he is the big brother in his heart, and he will never make the big brother feel lonely..."

As he spoke, Xiao Nianchen slowly let go of his hand and laughed again.

She held her head high and kissed Lu Chen's eyebrows gently, her eyes narrowing like a crescent moon.

Lu Chen's body trembled suddenly, looking at the still immature but delicate little face in front of him, and laughed unconsciously. He stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Nianchen gently, for fear that a little force would hurt her.

"Xiao Nianchen is so well-behaved, and the big brother doesn't feel lonely at all..."

It's like a murmur.

Xiao Nianchen responded in a low voice, and also reached out to hug Lu Chen's neck, turned his head sideways and pecked him lightly on the face, and then buried his head in Lu Chen's neck, but his body gradually trembled.

A little dampness, still with a hint of warmth.

"Xiao Nianchen?"

Lu Chen was stunned, thinking that he had made her cry.

"Nian Chen... Nianchen misses his grandfather... Hmm..."

Xiao Nianchen suddenly cried, and her petite body was trembling.

"Brother, sister, as well as the father-in-law and the sixth grandfather, they are all very good to Nianchen, but there is only one real grandfather of Nianchen. But grandpa he... He..."

As he spoke, he couldn't go on.

Just crying.

Lu Chen's nose was also a little sour, and he hugged Xiao Nianchen tighter.

If you don't say it, how can Lu Chen not understand?

Brother, sister, and even Qin Tian, no matter how good they are, they are just outsiders after all, they just value Xiao Nianchen's talent and physique, whether there is really a relationship or not is still two words. Xiao Nianchen never said this, but she was sensible, and she also understood in her heart that if she hadn't had the talent for cultivation, and it wasn't the Eight Desolation Holy Body, how many people in the Gongsun family and the Qin family would be able to treat her sincerely?

Who should be kissed and who should not be kissed, Xiao Nianchen is very clear.

What happened to Qin Tian and the head of the Gongsun family, Lu Chen didn't know, and he didn't dare to infer it on his own.

But those Supreme Elders of the Qin family would definitely not spoil her so much today.

Gongsun Liang and Qin Shusheng will be caring and considerate, if Qin Fang is still in the Qin family, it will be the same.

But that's all...

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit...

If it can't bring benefits, how many people will be willing to pay a lot to do those thankless things? Even if it is like Gongsun Liang Qin Shusheng, it must be because of him that he will care and be considerate to Xiao Nianchen, if they only see it on the road, probably they will only sigh lightly, and a little help will be enough, but it will not be like this.

After all, the world is huge, and the number of people suffering is in the millions.

Maybe morality comes first, they will be able to help, but after all, they will not be able to save the world's miserable people. And Lu Chen asked himself, if it weren't for those intersections, he would only see them by chance, and he would definitely not keep a person who has nothing to do with him in his heart and help him with all his might.

If you can have today, your life will also...

After all, he became a relative, and now he is even more reluctant.

"Nian Chen, Nian Chen, now it's really Nian Chen..."

Lu Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, hugged Xiao Nianchen deeply, gently patted her back with one hand, comforted her softly, and didn't think about it anymore. However, after staying for a long time, the sky gradually brightened, and the entire Yunzezhou also resumed its hustle, especially today is the harvest ceremony, which is much more enthusiastic than usual.

Those people of the demon clan came and went, they were busy, and there were even strong people who arrived early in the morning to stir up the waves, and every word and smile could shake the Quartet.

The harvest ceremony has begun.

Xiao Nianchen stopped crying a long time ago, and soon returned to his usual appearance, but his little hand always pulled Lu Chen, and he refused to leave a single step. And Lu Chen never thought about letting go, what Xiao Nianchen wanted, he really spoiled her.

After a short time, Gongsun Liang and Xia Xiaothief came to visit, said some words, talked about the process, and then Gongsun Liang turned around and left, after all, he was a guest in today's hall.

Xia Xiaothief still stayed here, bringing a black background inlaid with gold clothes, embroidered with a golden dragon on his left chest and shoulder, really powerful. When he had to change and go out, Xiao Nianchen blinked his eyes, full of love, and pounced again, following Lu Chen's side step by step, and never stopped smiling on his white and delicate little face.

Only here, it was almost noon, and it was time for Lu Chen and Xia Xiaothief to go to the main hall, but they had never seen Mu Shuangying and the others, and even Qin Shusheng was gone.

Lu Chen was puzzled in his heart, and then looked at Xia Xiaothief, who was wearing a green pine embroidered on a white background, and after a little hesitation, he still asked.

"They... Where have you been?"
