Meng Xueli held a handful of pine nuts and lowered her head to sniff the familiar scent of oil. The snacks were hard-won, and he was reluctant to finish them, so he carefully put them back into his empty storage bag, and only picked out a few to chew slowly.
The child is too filial and conscientious, he thought contentedly.
When Meng Xueli came to the secret realm, every time he taught Hanshan's three nephews how to fight, he would think of his apprentice. At this time, when he looked at the big apprentice, he felt more cordial and pleasing to the eye. This faint feeling of nostalgia was indescribable, but it quietly flowed in his heart.
Ji Xiao also felt the same way. When they met again, they felt that the people in front of them were cute.
In the quiet and deep cave, only the shimmering light of 'Baiyin Baidai' illuminates the faces of the two of them. There is a lot of warmth here, as if it is a world of its own, isolated from the dangers of the outside world.
"Tingyun, take a closer look at Master, what has changed?"
Meng Xueli turned around, fearing that his apprentice wouldn't understand, he gently stood on tiptoe and raised his hand to indicate the height of the two.
Ji Xiao thought about it seriously: "You are short."
"I've grown taller! I'm here to grow taller!" Meng Xueli said angrily, "You're growing too fast!"
Ji Xiao smiled and wanted to touch the top of his hair, but he held back abruptly.
Meng Xueli suddenly reacted: "You're here, does the headmaster know? Does Xiao Yu know?"
Ji Xiao took out another candied chestnut from the storage bag and peeled off the shell: "Only you know, they thought I was closed."
He handed Li Ziren forward, Meng Xueli lowered his head and ate, "Well, why are you lying?!"
Meng Xueli came to talk nonsense, but felt that Xiao Tingyun should not be like this.
Xiao Tingyun should be like Ji Xiao, an upright gentleman who speaks his mind.
But he still had the snacks brought by the other party in his mouth, and he was soft-hearted, unable to hold the master's teaching, so he had to say: "This place is dangerous, you hurry up and leave the teleportation array, I will send you..."
Before the words were finished, a shout came from the direction of the entrance of the cave:
"Snow-"
When approaching the entrance of the cave, Jing Di said goodbye to his teammates: "I'll go in alone first."
The four of them rolled their eyes together and found a place to rest not far from the cave. When they heard Jing Di shouting 'Xue Li', they felt incredible:
"He dares to call like that, he's really not afraid of death."
They thought it simply, thinking that the captain was excited, so they chased after Meng Xueli.
However, Jing Di is the eldest disciple of Mingyue Lake and the disciple of Yun Xuzi, the head of Mingyue Lake, not a young boy who has just opened up in love.
He guessed that the Hanshan Sword Sect should still not know Meng Xueli's power, otherwise Meng Xueli and Jian Zun would not have called so many criticisms when Meng Xueli joined forces with Jian Zun, and would not have a bad reputation as a 'vulgar'.
If Meng Xueli could be brought to Mingyue Lake, it would be a good thing for self-interest and sect.
Even if things can't be done, they are destined to become enemies, so before they are completely hostile, it is beneficial to know each other more and know themselves and the enemy.
That magic weapon was really mysterious, and Meng Xueli was not a swordsman, so he didn't know where he came from.
It was pitch black in the cave, and the gleam of 'Times and Ages' illuminated Meng Xueli and a figure.
Jing Di saw that the man lowered his head, as if he was feeding Meng Xueli, and the two of them were intimate. He rushed forward without hesitation: "Where is the thief!"
"Stop!" Meng Xueli hurriedly stopped in front of Ji Xiao.
Jing Di saw the figure behind him and retracted his sword in a daze.
He had seen Ji Xiao before. When he was traveling down the mountain, he heard that Hanshan had found a body of an innate sword spirit, so he hurriedly led someone to try to turn back to Mingyue Lake. At that time, at the junction of the north and the south, a small town at the foot of the mountain caught up with Zhang Suyuan and the others, and they fought for a while, only to give up when they saw that the young man was focused on Hanshan. Later, he returned to the sect and reported the matter to his master.
At that time, Xiao Tingyun looked like a sick and weak young man, who couldn't stop coughing. Now, it seems that his condition has improved and his cultivation has improved rapidly. He is indeed a swordsman genius.
But what exactly was the head of Hanshan thinking? The young man dared to let go of his sect before he had fully grown up and sent him to the dangerous secret realm. This kind of training method is too harsh.
Meng Xueli looked at the two of them: "This is Jing Di, my fellow Daoist Mingyuehu I met in the secret realm. This is..." He hadn't figured out how to introduce Xiao Tingyun, should he tell the truth or lie? How to edit.
Unexpectedly, Jing Di replied: "This is Junior Brother Xiao, we have met. It's been a long time, do you still remember me?"
Ji Xiao finally remembered this person and nodded.
"Why didn't you see Junior Brother Xiao a few days ago? You must have separated from Xue Li. The situation in the secret realm is really complicated this time, and some people violated the rules..."
Meng Xueli didn't expect that Jing Di actually took the initiative to find a reason and nodded randomly: "That's right. The situation is complicated."
Jing Di: "Those of us who normally participate in the competition should unite to resist this kind of behavior, and we should not give opportunities to those with ulterior motives..."
Meng Xueli: "Yes."
Jing Di: "At a special moment, please abandon the sectarian feud and move forward with alliances. My teammates and I are sincere and never malicious." He smiled, "And I'm pursuing Xue Li."
Meng Xueli nodded: "Yes. Pursuit... what?!"
Meng Xueli was startled, turned pale in shock, and subconsciously looked at Ji Xiao.
Ji Xiao never said a word, watching them quietly.
Meng Xueli: "No!!" He glared at Jing Di angrily, "You're talking nonsense!"
Ji Xiao: "I see. Then we will form an alliance."
