It was already mid-August when Yin Xiu brought Ning Yuejing, Luluo, and Xiaoman back to Yinhai. This trip took more than a month.
In addition to accompanying Xiaojing back to her hometown to pay homage to her mother, Yin Xiu himself also fulfilled a wish that he had not paid much attention to before.
Although this trip only found the descendants of two of his old friends, for Yin Xiu, it took a big step forward in his state of mind, and many invisible constraints were eliminated.
In the past, he didn't actually pay much attention to looking for several old friends from back then, because his subconscious told himself that his old friends from back then must have passed away without any accident.
So subconsciously, he didn't have a strong desire to find his old friend.
It was only after returning from this trip that Yin Xiu discovered that although the death of his old friend was something he had expected, it was actually not that important.
What is really important is the nostalgia in his heart for the past, and the vague regret that he was unable to stay on earth and experience all the changes in the world of cultivation for eighty years. The knot formed by all these is what binds him. The root cause of the inability to achieve a perfect state of mind and the inability to break through in cultivation.
Changes in mood are very subtle and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Yin Xiu himself could clearly feel that after this journey, his state of mind became much clearer than before.
In the past, it was like being separated by a layer of thick fog. Although the fog is still there now, it is much lighter than before.
"Luluo, except for the two bedrooms on the second floor where Xiaojing and I live, you can live in any other room you want..."
Yin Xiu said to Luluo.
At this time, Lu Luo was looking at Yin Xiu's home curiously.
Xiaoman and Xiaopi were also very excited to return to the familiar environment they had left for more than a month. As soon as they entered the house, the two little guys immediately ran up to the roof to play.
"I want to live with Xiao Jing, is that okay? I like being with Xiao Jing." Luluo looked up at Yin Xiu and asked seriously.
Yin Xiu pursed his lips and smiled. He glanced at Xiao Jing beside him and said, "Ask Xiao Jing about this. If she is willing to live with you, then you can live together."
Hear the words. Luluo immediately turned to look at Ning Yuejing and blinked. He shouted crisply: "Xiao Jing, I want to live with you, is that okay?"
Xiao Jing still liked Lu Luo very much. Hearing this, she had no objection and responded: "Okay, then you can stay in my room together."
"Hehe, Xiaojing, you are so kind. I like you the most."
Green Luo exclaimed with a smile. He immediately flew towards Ning Yuejing. He hugged her neck and kissed her on the cheek.
Ning Yuejing's little face was still slightly red after being kissed by Luluo again.
Yin Xiu watched happily from the side and said, "Xiao Jing, then you should take Luluo to get familiar with your home first."
"Oh, okay, Master."
Ning Yuejing hurriedly responded, immediately put Luluo down, took her little hand, and said, "Let's go, Luluo. I'll take you upstairs to my room first."
"Okay." Luo Luo responded. He followed Xiaojing happily to the second floor...
After Yin Xiu watched them go upstairs, he looked away and walked to the sofa beside him to sit down.
After a little half an hour. Luluo took Xiaojing's hand and walked downstairs together. Before he even went downstairs, he called out to Yin Xiu: "Yin Xiu, your house is so small, there is no place to play."
While speaking, Lu Luo wrinkled her nose slightly, looking a little depressed.
At this time, Ning Yuejing interrupted: "Master, I just told her that she can't just go to other people's houses to play by herself..."
Probably Ning Yuejing was worried that Lu Luo would escape to other people's houses nearby to play. It scares people, so remind her.
Compared to the mountains and forests where Green Luo lived before. Yin Xiu's house is indeed too small.
Pothos is a mountain spirit, so mountain spirits like to be free. She is spontaneous and close to nature. If she is allowed to stay in such a big house every day in the future, it will indeed make her feel constrained and depressed.
Yin Xiu had a fairly good understanding of Shan Jing's temperament and had considered it before returning.
"Just be patient for now. In the past two days, I'm going to look for any single-family villas near the mountains for sale in the nearby suburbs, or is there a suitable place where I can buy a piece of land next to the mountains and forests and build a house by myself? .”
Yin Xiudao.
If there is a suitable place, it will be much better for Lu Luo. She can play in the mountains and forests by herself as before, instead of being restricted to such a small house.
After all, Luluo looks like a five- or six-year-old girl. It would be inappropriate for her to run around in this community by herself. Moreover, Lu Luo has no idea how strange she is in the eyes of ordinary people.
Yin Xiu was also a little worried that if she was allowed to run around and play in the community, she would use escape skills or fly in front of other people.
If that happens, it will be a lot of trouble.
"Yin Xiu, it's settled. I want a very big mountain forest..." Luluo said immediately.
Yin Xiu smiled and responded: "Okay, I'll try to find a suitable place. But during this period, don't go out and play, you know. Especially you can't cast any spells or fly in front of others." "
"Okay, okay, I know." Luluo curled her lips and said.
The next morning, after Yin Xiu told Xiaojing to stay at home with Luluo, he went to Xianzi Company by himself.
Yin Xiu's job as a hands-off shopkeeper is considered acceptable. This time it took more than a month to come to the company.
Many employees in the company were a little surprised when they saw Yin Xiu appear. However, everyone still greeted them immediately: "Mr. Yin, you are here."
"Good morning, Mr. Yin!"
Yin Xiu responded casually and walked to his office. Although I haven't been here for more than a month, it's obvious that someone is still cleaning the office regularly, and it's very clean and tidy inside.
Basically, there is no difference in the operation of the company with him or without him. He has nothing to do today, and after all, he still holds a position in the company and has not been here for a long time, so he came to take a look.
By the way, I also want to meet Ji Xueqing. Ask her how things went after her last trip to the Magic City. Yin Xiu didn't pay much attention to this matter after talking to Xiao Jianjun on the phone last time.
Yin Xiu came earlier. He sat in the office for a while before Ji Xueqing came to the company.
Originally, Ji Xueqing didn't know that Yin Xiu had come to the company. After she went directly into her office as usual, her secretary ran over to her after a while and told her about Yin Xiu's visit to the company today.
I learned that Yin Xiu was back. Ji Xueqing was quite surprised, so she went to Yin Xiu's office to find him.
"Yin Xiu, when did you return to Yinhai? Why didn't you tell me?" Ji Xueqing couldn't help but ask when she saw Yin Xiu sitting in the office, and walked over.
"Oh, Xue Qing. Sit down."
After inviting Ji Xueqing to sit down, Yin Xiucai replied: "I just returned to Yinhai yesterday afternoon. Thinking that it had been a long time since I came to the company, I thought it would be better to wait until today and come directly to the company. I didn't call you. .”
"Have you finished your work this time when you go out?" Ji Xueqing asked.
Yin Xiu had mentioned to her a few times before that she had something to do when she went out this time.
"Well, that's about it. After all, I've tried my best, and I feel relieved." Yin Xiudao.
Ji Xueqing did not ask Yin Xiu why he went out this time, but said: "A few days ago, Shanshan called me and told me that I met you in Cangming City. It's a coincidence that you two met."
"It was quite a coincidence. I was going to find a hotel to stay that day, and I happened to hear a fan of Shining shouting her name, and then I realized that she was actually there."
Yin Xiu smiled and said.
"By the way. What happened to the thing in the Magic City you mentioned to me last time?" Yin Xiu asked again.
Ji Xueqing smiled and said: "Everything is normal for the company in the Magic City now. Thanks to General Xiao. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid our plans in the Magic City would have to be put on hold for the time being."
After a slight pause, Ji Xueqing continued: "Speaking of this, General Xiao really did a lot of work. I heard that several high-level people in power in the Demon City were assassinated. No surprise. If so, the descendants of those people should have been involved in the incident against our Xianzi... "
"Yeah. That's good." Yin Xiu nodded slightly.
At this time, Ji Xueqing hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Um, Yin Xiu, regarding this matter, do we really not need to send some thank-you gifts to General Xiao?"
"After that incident, everyone knows that General Xiao is our Xianzi's 'backer'. Should we take the initiative and show something?"
Yin Xiu understood what Ji Xueqing meant.
There has never been a free lunch since time immemorial. Especially this kind of thing. People have helped you a lot with their efforts, but you don't give them any benefits. This doesn't seem to make sense.
Ji Xueqing naturally didn't know what the relationship between Yin Xiu and the Xiao family was, so it was inevitable that she would have such doubts.
Yin Xiu waved his hand and said, "No. You don't have anything to worry about. I will take care of it."
Seeing what Yin Xiu said, Ji Xueqing said nothing more, "Okay then."
After a slight pause, she added, "Yin Xiu, if necessary, I can give up some of my shares..."
Yin Xiu stopped Ji Xueqing with a smile and said: "This is really unnecessary. To tell you the truth, that Xiao Jianjun is actually my disciple, and his father was a registered disciple that I accepted back then. So in this regard, You have nothing to worry about.”
Ji Xueqing was shocked when she heard this.
She had never thought that Xiao Jianjun and Yin Xiu would have such a relationship before. It was really beyond her expectation.
However, Yin Xiu's answer also made Ji Xueqing finally understand why the old general Xiao almost spared no effort to help and support Xianzi.
Even the backers of the second-generation ancestors who participated in the attack on Xianzi were stunned.
Emotional Yin Xiu turned out to be the master of the other party!
Although Yin Xiu had briefly mentioned his age to Ji Xueqing before, Ji Xueqing knew that Yin Xiu was now over a hundred years old.
But she didn't think about the relationship between Xiao Jianjun and Yin Xiu at all. At this moment, hearing Yin Xiu say it himself, Ji Xueqing was surprised but also a little surprised. (To be continued.)
