Chapter 233: Hope Returned

"I don't know if the boy has cultivated or not. But I have the impression that even in the Xiuzhen sect, children have to wait until they are six or seven years old to start formal cultivation. As old as him, at most, he will practice blindly with the eldest child, and there is no way to have any rank. After talking about the general situation first, Xiao Bang changed his voice and talked about the boy he met yesterday:

"So, that kid shouldn't have any cultivation. However, his elders were so relieved that he was playing alone in the valley, don't you think it is a little strange? I remember Zhu Xiu once said that there are fierce beasts in the valley. With such a small point as him, how can he protect himself in case of danger?"

Hearing this, Shanhe nodded involuntarily. I have to admit that it is indeed a bit unreasonable at this point. But before he could speak, he heard the little bracelet continue:

"Also, if you think about it again, did the boy come home last night?"

As soon as these words came out, Shanhe was stunned on the spot! Soon, his face also showed a look of worry.

For he had knelt in the courtyard all night last night, but he had never seen the boy return.

"Oh, he can't be in any danger, is he? Little Bracelet, do you think I'm going to look for him?"

"Hehe, master, you are so nervous as an outsider. But if you look at the people in the house, the children didn't come home all night, but they slept peacefully. Don't you think it's strange?"

Hearing Xiao Bang say this, Shanhe also felt a little confused, but quickly defended:

"Then, will they not find out that Xiaoguang has not returned, so they ......?"

"Hehe, master, even if they are not the parents of the children, but as relatives, they can't be so big-hearted, right? You, you don't have to make excuses for them, there is only one truth: Xiaoguang actually came back a long time ago, and he was the Zhuxiu who greeted you in the courtyard later!"

Seeing that the other party still didn't want to believe it, Xiao Bang threw out several doubts to Shanhe.

Among them, why is the boy only his grandmother and aunt, where are his parents, and why does he never show up?

Since he has an aunt and grandmother at home, he should usually have someone to play with, but why does he seem so lonely?

After listening to the above doubts, I can feel that Shanhe is indeed suspicious. But there is still a long way to go before the degree of convincing.

So, in order to make the owner believe in himself thoroughly, Xiao Bang led the topic to Zhu Xiu again:

"After talking about the boy, let's talk about your sister Xiu. Zhu Xiu's flaws are a little less than that of boys, but if you count them carefully, it is enough to say that it is more than half a day. I'll just pick two important points. First, after she told you the origin of the trial period yesterday, you asked her about the enemy who harmed Zhu Ying. As soon as she mentioned this person, Zhu Xiu showed a disgusted expression on the spot, giving people the feeling that she wanted to break this person into pieces. Do you remember that?"

Hearing this, Shanhe nodded while reminiscing.

It stands to reason that this incident happened more than 30 years ago, and even if Zhu Xiu was born at that time, she was just a little baby waiting to be fed, and she would never have the memory of that time. But judging by the degree of her hatred yesterday, it seemed like her own personal experience. Don't you think there's a problem with that?" After a pause, I heard the little bracelet add:

"This second point is how she behaved when she read the Buddhist scriptures. As you said before, Haiyin and Zhu Xiu are thirty or forty years apart, and they probably haven't even met each other. However, after seeing the seal, Zhu Xiu was surprised on the spot, and was also aroused by longing and sadness. Hehe, so, I only have two inferences about this: either Zhu Xiu and Wu Jie really have a year-old love, or Zhu Xiu is played by Zhu Ying. Master, which one do you think is more reliable?"

"This, this ......"

Obviously, after hearing these remarks, the doubts on Shanhe's face increased a lot.

"Master, there are many details that prove that they were dressed up as one person. If there are really so many people living here, why is there only one stone bench? Also, how long has it been since this happened, have you ever seen them appear in front of you at the same time? Think about it carefully, do they always appear alone? Hehe, so master, this time it is really not me who framed them, but these three people are all dressed by Zhu Ying!" Seeing that there was still a bit of disbelief on Shanhe's face, Xiao Bang simply came up with an idea:

"Well, if you don't believe me, wait a minute, whoever you meet, just say you want to see the other person, and see how they respond! ”

To tell the truth, after listening to so much analysis and reasoning of Xiaobang, if Shanhe still doesn't believe it at all, then he is really a fool.

However, just based on the words of the small bracelet, if you want to make Shanhe believe this 100%, it is unlikely.

Therefore, the skeptical Shanhe still decided to wait and follow the method of the small bracelet to test Zhu Ying and Zhu Xiu first.

If they can appear in front of them at the same time, then Xiao Bang's remarks are tantamount to self-defeating.

But if it's really as Xiaobang said, they always find excuses not to see, then in this matter, he can't help but believe it!

"Well, well, I'll treat them as one for now. Hey, what does that disciple pretending to be a master of forgetting the ring have anything to do with this?"

After struggling for a long time on the question of whether one or three people, the two finally returned to the original topic.

"Hehe, if my guess is correct, if there is really some special relationship between Forgetting the Ring and Zhu Ying, then as a disciple of the Master of Forgetting the Ring, you will have a chance to escape the test period and learn the illusion technique directly!"

"Hey, really, what's the matter?"

"Oh, I said master, Zhu Xiu had already made the rules very clear at that time! Right?"

Seeing Shanhe nodding while reminiscing, Xiao Bang continued:

"So, this test is for all strangers! If you want to break the rules, we have to make a fuss about your identity. ”

"My identity?"

"That's right, think about it, if your identity is no longer an ordinary small casual cultivator, but a disciple of Master Forgetting, and Forgetting Ring is Zhu Ying's lover...... Hehehe, in a sense, even if they don't get married, Zhu Ying can be regarded as half of your master, right? Although the two of you have never met, but because of this relationship, she can't count you as a stranger anymore, right? If you're lucky enough, you really have a chance to get this technique within three days!"

After listening to Xiao Bang's words, Shanhe's eyes, which had been eclipsed for more than ten hours, finally lit up with the light of hope again!
