After successfully surviving this crisis, Bai Yunfei no longer felt the discomfort caused by excessive use of strengthening techniques. A big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. The situation this time was better than he imagined. A lot, which made him secretly glad.
After that, Bai Yunfei "cultivated" for a few days under Xiao Binzi's uneasy observation. In fact, he still hid in the house and strengthened his jewelry. Because he knew that he was about to return to the Refining Sect, Bai Yunfei also took the time to start saving spiritual jewelry. , all new jewelry are only strengthened by +1, leaving the spiritual ones and returning all the others. I plan to bring some more back to the Refining Sect to gradually strengthen them, but this is exhausting Xiao Er, running around to buy jewelry, busy It's hard to say.
Of course, he has now entered a normal enhanced state, maintaining a residual amount of soul power at all times. He strengthens for a while and then stops and recovers, strengthening in the best possible state to avoid sudden coma and causing misunderstanding and worry to Xiao Binzi and others. .
He no longer deliberately avoided Tang Xinyun. He walked with her in the large backyard of the Xiao family every evening, thinking of various topics to make Tang Xinyun happy, hoping that she would no longer always be worried about not being able to practice fire energy. sad about something. Tang Xinyun also seemed to see his thoughts and did not mention the matter again.
Four days later, Tang Xinyun's injuries stabilized, and the soul power in the body formed a delicate balance with the corrosive power. Tang Xinyun looked no different from an ordinary late-stage soul warrior, but she could not use any soul power. , otherwise it will cause the corrosive power to counterattack.
The affairs of the Sun family were basically settled, and there was no need to stay in Qinfeng City any longer, so Xiao Binzi decided to leave and return to the Weapon Refining Sect.
…
In the early morning, Xiao Er was walking from his residence to the Xiao family hall. All the distinguished guests from the Weapon Refining Sect were leaving this morning, and everyone in the Xiao family was there to see them off.
"Fourth Young Master, please wait a moment..."
When he was not far from the hall, he was stopped by someone. He turned around and looked around. Xiao Er asked doubtfully: "Uncle Xu, what's the matter?"
The butler of the Xiao family, whom he called Uncle Xu, walked up to him and whispered: "Master, I have already completed the tasks you asked the day before yesterday. There are 2,500 items in total, and they are all here. It’s just that the quality is a bit uneven and I haven’t had time to test it.”
With that said, he took out a black space ring and handed it to Xiao Er.
"Oh? Did you actually catch up?" Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, then took the ring with a smile, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Xu."
"Haha, it's not hard work. It's what you should do for the young master." Uncle Xu smiled and waved his hand, then left.
In this space ring, there is naturally a batch of jewelry, but there are some special ones. Xiao Er's crazy purchase in the past ten days has basically wiped out all the jewelry on the market. However, the 'black market', no matter where it is, They all exist. As the largest family in Qinfeng City, the Xiao family naturally has some connections with these underground forces. So the day before yesterday, Xiao Er ordered Uncle Xu to go to these underground markets and purchase a batch of unknown products. Too righteous, jewelry that cannot be seen in the light.
"In this case, it can be regarded as the last thing I did for Brother Bai before leaving..." Xiao Er threw away the space ring in his hand and turned towards the hall.
…
In the Xiao family hall, Xiao Binzi, Cang Yu, Jiang Fan, Song Lin, Bai Yunfei, and Tang Xinyun were all there. Xiao Rang, Xiao Xin and other Xiao family members also came out. A large group of people stood together. Xiao Rang was saying politely They were talking to Xiao Binzi and Cang Yu, while Jiang Fan and Song Lin were chatting and laughing with several younger members of the Xiao family. Tang Xinyun and Xiao Er's third sister Xiao Yingxue were holding hands and talking quietly.
Bai Yunfei looked at the two girls who were reluctant to part as if they were sisters. He was quite surprised when he saw Xiao Yingxue stuffing Tang Xinyun with various rouges and gouache. In just a few days, he never expected that Tang Xinyun He actually established such a deep friendship with Miss Xiao San.
"Sister Xinyun, please go back and recuperate. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery. When you have time in the future, don't forget to come to Qinfeng City to see me." Xiao Yingxue took Tang Xinyun's hand and said with some reluctance. .
Tang Xinyun nodded slightly, looking a little reluctant: "Sister Yingxue, don't worry, I won't forget it, and I will definitely come back to see you again."
"Hehe, sister Xinyun, let me tell you, next time you'd better..." Xiao Yingxue whispered something in Tang Xinyun's ear, and seemed to glance at Bai Yunfei pretending to be casual.
"Ah! Sister Yingxue, what are you talking about!!" Tang Xinyun exclaimed softly, a blush rising on her cheeks, "It's not what you think..."
"What? No? I think..."
“…”
Bai Yunfei looked at the two women hiding in the corner whispering inexplicably, then turned his head inadvertently, and saw Xiao Er walking into the hall.
"Brother Bai." After Xiao Er walked in, he went straight to Bai Yunfei and said hello with a smile.
Bai Yunfei showed a smile on his face and said: "Brother Xiao, I am leaving. I have really troubled you these days. I..."
He thought for a while and was about to take another Horcrux to thank him when Xiao Er quickly reached out to stop him and said: "Brother Bai, please don't give me any more Horcruxes. I deserve it! If you want it again, I can’t feel at ease anymore…”
"Uh..." Bai Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Brother Xiao, you are too upright. Others are eager to get a few more Horcruxes, but you politely refused."
"Are you the one who is upright? You always give away Horcruxes..." Xiao Er twitched the corner of his mouth, muttered to himself, and then said angrily: "One Horcrux is enough for me. Anyway, you can give me more." It can only be turned over for confiscation..."
Xiao Rang took away the earth-level Horcrux on the grounds that he was not strong enough. This still made him feel distressed and regretted that he foolishly took out both Horcruxes...
Bai Yunfei asked strangely: "Huh? Confiscation? What do you mean?"
"Oh, it's nothing..." Xiao Er shook his head, then took out the space ring that Uncle Xu gave him before, handed it to Bai Yunfei and said, "Brother Bai, this is the last batch of jewelry, just take it away." Well, you don’t have to pay me back any more.”
Bai Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then took the ring and said sincerely: "Then... I won't be polite. Thank you again, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Er smiled and said: "Haha, you don't have to be so polite. The thank you gift you gave me is far more than this value. Speaking of which, I still took advantage of it. I feel guilty..."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Why are you so grateful?"
At this moment, a confused voice sounded nearby, but it was Xiao Yingxue and Tang Xinyun who came over and looked at them curiously.
"It's nothing, Brother Bai just asked me to buy him some things." Xiao Er explained.
"Buying something?" Xiao Yingxue glanced at the space ring in Bai Yunfei's hand in confusion, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Xiao Er with angry eyes, "By the way, I haven't settled the score with you yet, kid. , you took away all my jewelry, when will you compensate me?"
"Ah? This..." Xiao Er's expression froze, and then he remembered that he initially gave Bai Yunfei the jewelry of all the women in the family. Although he later returned most of it, he was busy buying more jewelry and forgot about it. Deal with it.
Xiao Er looked at the third sister who was glaring at him, and quickly said with a smile: "Well... Hey, don't worry, third sister, I will pay you ten times the fine jewelry later. You can choose whatever you want! Choose until you are satisfied!"
Now he doesn't have much else on hand, but he has as much jewelry as he wants.
"That's pretty much it..." Xiao Yingxue nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "You'd better not fool me with ordinary stuff, otherwise I want you to look good! I want fine white jade jewelry, just like... just like Sister Xinyun's. kind."
As she spoke, she took Tang Xinyun's left hand and pointed to the Yunhun ring on her ring finger.
"Okay, okay, no problem! I will definitely comply with Third Sister's request..." Xiao Erpei nodded with a smile, but was suddenly startled, looking at the ring on Tang Xinyun's hand, and said doubtfully, "Huh? This ring..."
Bai Yunfei's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "What happened!!"
Before he could stop him, Xiao Er blurted out subconsciously: "Isn't this ring the treasure of Bai Yuxuan's store? Why..."
Xiao Er glanced at Bai Yunfei, then rolled his eyes, suddenly showing a look of surprise, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Bai, you asked me to buy all the jewelry in Qinfeng City just to choose a gift. Give it to Miss Tang!!"
“…”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked over in astonishment.
Bai Yunfei sweated on his forehead...
