C8 The Bond Between Brother and Sister Is Deep
1"Okay!"
"I'll go with you!"
Ye Xiao nodded without even blinking his eyes. His decisiveness shocked Luo Xianxian, who was about to invite him again. Her beautiful eyes were full of splendor.
"Why didn't you ask me why I invited you first?"
Ye Xiao shook his head gently and said with a faint smile.
"It's not important."
"Since Miss Luo has the qualification to become the Pavilion Master of the Green City branch of Treasure Pavilion, I believe that Miss Luo should know better than me that I deserve this price."
"However, I have another request."
"I want to bring my sister along!"
When Luo Xianxian heard this, the splendor in her eyes became even more exuberant. A look of approval appeared on her face as she lightly nodded her head.
"No problem."
"Pharmacist Fong and I will..."
Luo Xianxian seemed to want to say that she would wait at the entrance of the Mu family. She glanced at Dung Zifei, Mu Duanchen, and the others from the corner of her eye. She frowned slightly and a trace of disgust flashed through her eyes.
"Then let's go together."
Regarding this, Ye Xiao naturally didn't have any objections. He turned around and walked towards the courtyard. The whole process was very straightforward, without any hesitation, and he didn't even look at Dung Zifei and the others.
There was no need.
It wasn't important either!
The Treasure Pavilion had extended their invitation, and Dung Zifei would never dare to touch him!
The truth was the same.
Dung Zifei and Mu Duanchen watched them leave, not even daring to breathe loudly.
...
In the courtyard.
The wall was desolate and the courtyard was lonely.
The only thing worthy of praise was that it was probably clean.
Ye Xiao lived in such a place?
A hint of surprise flashed through Luo Xianxian's eyes. It was hard to believe that Ye Xiao had cultivated the Spiritual Rhino Finger to the perfect state in this place.
Just as she was feeling emotional, she saw a petite and weak figure in a thin red dress flying in the air.
It was a young girl!
A young girl with a delicate face that made me pity her!
The young girl's feet were floating. She held onto the fence and struggled to move out of the courtyard. Her fair and delicate face was flushed red, which made people feel pity for her. Beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead. Her footsteps were trembling, but she was still persisting. Her brows were filled with worry.
This is -
Luo Xianxian was surprised by the girl's appearance.
"Luo'er!"
Ye Xiao quickly ran over and supported the girl.
Not bad.
This was Ye Luo.
Although the two of them shared the same surname, there was no blood relation between them. They were both picked up and raised by Ye Liancheng. Since four years ago, Ye Liancheng never returned, and the two of them had been living together ever since. How could a mere bloodline compare to friendship?
"Brother!"
Ye Luo shouted anxiously. The moment Ye Xiao held her, her arms tightly hugged Ye Xiao's waist, unwilling to let go.
"Brother, what happened just now?"
"I heard someone scolding you outside? Did the Mu family Master punish you again?"
"Let me see where you are hurt."
Ye Luo panicked when she saw the blood on Ye Xiao's white shirt. She spread her hands and tried to grab Ye Xiao's shirt. Ye Xiao would never agree to that. Besides, there was an outsider present. She quickly stopped him.
"Sister, don't be afraid. This blood is not mine!"
"Nothing happened just now. It was just a small conflict at the door. Oh right, I have some good news to tell you."
Good news?
Ye Luo just swept a corner of Ye Xiao's clothes and indeed did not find any traces of the wound before giving up. However, one of her hands still firmly grabbed onto the latter's hand and refused to let go.
"What good news?"
Ye Xiao pretended to be mysterious and actually wanted Ye Luo's attention to shift away from the roaring sound outside the door. Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he said word by word:
"We are leaving Mu family!"
Leave?!
Ye Luo heard this and her pair of big eyes suddenly widened and glittered. She said in surprise,
"Really?"
However, in the blink of an eye, she seemed to have thought of something. The joy in her eyes instantly vanished and turned into worry.
"But father..."
Ye Luo subconsciously looked up at Ye Xiao. When she saw the joy in the latter's eyes, she immediately suppressed the worry in her eyes and forcefully changed her words. She comforted him.
"Brother, it's fine! As long as you don't want to stay here anymore, I'll definitely support you."
"I also don't want you to suffer here..."
Ye Luo firmly grabbed Ye Xiao's hand. The little girl's tone was firm, but when she said the last sentence, her eyes were already wet red.
She knew!
She understood!
She was completely clear on how Ye Xiao had come over the past three years. She also understood why Ye Xiao was so persistent.
For her!
Her illness, her life.
To find their shared adoptive father, Ye Liancheng.
For that hope!
Ye Xiao, can't hold on any longer?
It didn't matter.
In the future, we will shoulder it together!
"Brother, I believe that as long as we are together, one day we will be able to find father!"
The young girl's voice was firm. How could she be the least bit delicate?
Ye Xiao lowered his head and looked at Ye Luo's determined eyes. He could not help but feel touched in his heart.
If there was a sister like this, what more could a husband ask for?
But of course he would not let Ye Luo continue to misunderstand like this. He hurriedly explained, "No, younger sister, you are wrong."
"Come, let me introduce you..."
Wrong?
Ye Luo's face was filled with doubt. It was only when Ye Xiao moved away that she saw Luo Xianxian and Pharmacist Fong. She heard Ye Xiao's introduction and said, "This is the Pavilion Master of Treasure Pavilion's Green City, Luo Xianxian."
"The alchemist of the Treasure Pavilion, Senior Feng."
"Just now, Miss Luo invited me to join Treasure Pavilion. I have already agreed."
Treasure Pavilion?!
Ye Luo immediately covered her mouth and her eyes rolled around in shock.
"Brother, you mean that Treasure Pavilion?"
Ye Xiao gave her an affirmative look. "Yes, the Treasure Pavilion!"
The conversation between the siblings made the outsiders confused, but when Luo Xianxian saw this scene, her beautiful eyes, which were covered by a veil, couldn't help but flash.
Envy!
Ripples appeared in her clear eyes like a deep and profound spring, and it caused others to be unable to help but want to investigate it.
"If I had such an elder brother, then how wonderful would it be? There's no need..."
Luo Xianxian muttered to herself softly. She could not help but ask.
A voice that could not be heard entered Ye Xiao's ears. It made him turn his head in surprise and confusion and asked.
"Miss Luo, what did you say just now?"
He really did not hear it clearly. He only felt that Luo Xianxian had spoken.
Luo Xianxian's spirit shivered and only then did she wake up. Facing Ye Xiao's surprised and bewildered eyes, under the veil, her small face turned red and a blush appeared on her face, but it quickly flashed.
"It's nothing."
"I was just saying, I didn't think that with your appearance, you would actually have such a beautiful little sister."
Elegant?
A proud expression appeared on Ye Xiao's face.
"Of course! I wonder whose sister she is!"
"Brother!"
Ye Xiao did not hesitate to admit it. Even Ye Luo could not help but blush and complain.
"Haha!"
Ye Xiao laughed loudly and dodged Ye Luo's fist. He grabbed the dry clothes on the drying rope and ran into the backyard.
"Sister, help me take care of Miss Luo and Senior Feng. I will wash up and set off!"
Ye Xiao left.
For a moment, only Luo Xianxian, Ye Luo, and Pharmacist Fong were left in the courtyard, staring at each other. After a long time, Luo Xianxian took the initiative to break the silence. She smiled and said:
"Hello, I am Luo Xianxian."
...
Set off!
New hope!
Ye Xiao quickly took care of himself in the backyard, his heart filled with joy.
Today's harvest was really too great. He was pleasantly surprised, and only now did he finally have time to digest it. But what he thought more about was his father, Ye Liancheng.
This was the wish that he had buried deep in his heart for four years. It had almost become an obsession!
"I need to cultivate faster!"
"If I get to the Spiritual Ocean, then I should have a chance to go there!"
Ye Xiao was excited. It was not until he was almost done washing up that he suddenly realized that his sister seemed to have never been in contact with outsiders. Today, he suddenly met Luo Xianxian and others...
"Luo Er wouldn't be scared, would she?"
Ye Xiao's heart was tied to Ye Luo, so he quickly ran back to the small courtyard. His hair was not even dried, but when he reached the door and saw everything inside, he could not help but be stunned and his footsteps froze.
It was not as awkward as he had imagined.
There was absolutely no embarrassment!
He saw Ye Luo and Luo Xianxian sitting together, very close. Just as she was whispering something, she happened to be talking about something she was happy about. The two of them were laughing so happily that they were bending back and forth. Only Pharmacist Fong was sitting on the ground alone with a helpless look on his face.
They...
Why did their relationship suddenly become so good?
"Sister?"
"Miss Luo?"
It was not a big deal to keep peeping from the side. Ye Xiao interrupted her in a low voice, and Ye Luo jumped up from her seat.
"Ah, brother is back!"
Luo Xianxian also stood up from her seat and shifted her gaze. When it landed on Ye Xiao, there was a flash of surprise in the depths of her eyes.
Ye Xiao noticed the unusual expression on Luo Xianxian's face and went forward suspiciously.
"What are you guys talking about? Why are you guys so happy?"
Ye Luo's face turned red and she waved her hands repeatedly. "It's fine, it's fine. It's a little secret of a girl's family. Brother, don't ask."
A girl's family?
A little secret?
Why was Luo Xianxian's expression so strange?
Ye Xiao did not continue to ask because he was already very happy when he saw Ye Luo's pink face full of smiles. As for what happened when he was not around, it was not important at all.
Younger sister, it had been a long time since I was so happy like today.
"Thank you, Miss Luo."
Ye Xiao's gaze landed on Luo Xianxian and sincerely cupped his hands to express his thanks. The latter lightly smiled and nodded, as reserved as water.
When Ye Xiao stood up again and swept his gaze across the entire courtyard, his expression did not change and only pulled Ye Luo's small hand.
"There is nothing worth preparing. Let's go."
After saying that, Ye Xiao walked out of the door. He did not have the slightest bit of attachment to this place.
That's right.
There was nothing to be reluctant about.
Including -
The entire Mu family!
And the next time they met, it would definitely not be as "peaceful" as today...
Ye Xiao left very quickly. He didn't want to stay here any longer. Therefore, he did not see Luo Xianxian looking at his tall and straight back from behind. Her beautiful eyes were deep. She thought of the vigorous male aura that Ye Xiao had when he walked towards her. And the handsome face that was revealed after washing up, the young girl's heart could not help but tremble.
"I also owe you an apology..."
"So, you are also... quite handsome."
Beneath the veil, there were already red clouds, unable to dissipate for a moment.
Ye Xiao did not hear it, but someone did.
The moment Luo Xianxian muttered to herself, Pharmacist Fong, who was pretending to rest, suddenly froze. His eyes jumped crazily, and his entire body tensed up, not daring to make any rash moves.
"Ah, do not listen to molestation, do not listen to molestation!"
"Old Ancestor, I didn't hear anything, I didn't know anything! In the future, you must not ask me..."
