"It's you?!" I raised my head and saw a face I hadn't seen for a long time...

After the familiar figure took a few steps back, the deep cloak and hat on his head also fell off, revealing a head of golden wheat-colored hair above the shoulders, which was simply tied up at the neck with a hemp rope. He looked healthy.

Simple and refreshing, with a sunny temperament in its simplicity.

But there is no trace of sunshine on that face. There are patches of dirty gray here and there, a bit like a Dalmatian dog, which makes people want to laugh, but the big dark circles under the eyes and the brown eyes in the eye sockets

The exhaustion revealed made laughter choke in his throat and unable to come out.

Below her neck is a wide cloak, which is several sizes larger than the cloak of my cloak man. She looks like a small giant. This is entirely caused by her height of about two meters. Of course, even so,

The spacious cloak still couldn't hide the two tall fat balls on his chest that were as big as basketballs and were ready to come out.

These rare features, coupled with the familiar voice, allowed me to recognize the identity of the tall, dirty girl in front of me at a glance.

"Qiaxi, why are you here?" When the other party was stunned, I asked again in a loud voice.

"It's...it's Elder Fan!" Qiaxi came to his senses at this time and let out a sharp exclamation. As if he was afraid of something, he quickly put on his cloak and hat again, covering himself tightly. After a few seconds,

, she took it off again and smiled at me sheepishly, looking a little depressed.

Although Qiaxi's behavior is very strange, but for some reason I seem to understand her mood.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that Qiaxi looked embarrassed and hesitant, unable to say a word in front of me, I continued to ask the question fully.

This was really an unexpected encounter. Since the last time I mentioned to her that she wanted to accept the inheritance of Lukogas, Qiaxi, an upright and honest barbarian girl, couldn't bear the tremendous pressure she put on herself and actually chose to escape.

It's been more than two years since I left. I went to Harrogas several times to inquire about her father, Rasuk, but I couldn't get any news. I didn't expect that I would meet her here by chance. Is this an unexpected gain?

"I...my...anyway, it's a long story." Qiaxi murmured in a low voice, lowering his head, exactly like a child who made a mistake and was caught red-handed by the teacher.

"Where are you going now?" Seeing that Qiaxi was nervous, I sighed to myself and tried to change my voice to a common question in a gentle voice.

"I'm getting ready to go back to the hotel to rest." The honest and honest barbarian girl replied.

"Okay, come back with me, go to my place." I said without any doubt. After dealing with Rasuk several times, I always felt more and more like an elder in Qiaxi. She was obviously better than me.

He is a head taller and perhaps a little older.

Maybe it's because she is an honest, upright, timid, kind, strong, diligent, hard-working girl who is struggling with an unfair fate and unwilling to give up her dreams. This is why people feel uneasy and subconsciously

I want to worry about her.

"Eh? Go... to Elder Fan's house?" Qiaxi's mind was a little confused. Wasn't this too sudden?

"I found a hotel nearby. It's quiet there. Didn't you just tell a long story? This will give you enough time to talk carefully and slowly." I said angrily.

"Ah..." Qiaxi was stunned, and subconsciously took a step back.

"What? Do you want to run away in front of me?" I looked at her funny.

"No... no no no?" She shook her head quickly. She was obviously a big man, but she gave people the feeling of a frightened deer, but there was no sense of violation at all. It seemed that it suited her very well. She was really a strange barbarian girl.

"Okay, turn around and follow me." I completely assumed the role of an elder in Qiaxi and ordered her without any politeness at all.

"Yes, yes." Qiaxi turned around obediently and followed.

"Are you Ms. Chasi, the blacksmith from the Rogge camp?" Seeing Chasi following her dejectedly like a prisoner, the kind-hearted Tia wanted to comfort her with a few words.

"Yes, I didn't expect Her Royal Highness Princess Tia to remember my name. It's an honor for me." Qiaxi responded quickly.

"Okay." Probably because Qiaxi has an honest personality and is popular, it was rare for Princess Sanwu to say hello simply.

"Your Highness Princess Jasmine, I'm glad to introduce you to you." In front of Princess Sanwu, who was half a body shorter than herself, Qiaxi saluted again and again.

Among everyone, only Princess Tia and Sanwu still know Qiaxi, such as the pornographic maid, Beiya, Benzina, Aiwa'er, etc., but they have never heard of her at all. After all, Qiaxi has been in the family for a long time

Left the camp.

Beiya seems to be a little worried. It must be because she said "I found a hotel near me" just now. It was obviously a hotel she bought. When did it become mine?

However, this stupid girl is not someone who doesn't know how to watch people's words. She knows that if she starts to fight now, it will only make Qiaxi more embarrassed, so she endures it.

Soon, we returned to the hotel. Well, I don’t know when, the name of the hotel sign above the door had changed and turned into the plaque of the Elf Club. I glanced at the maid, this must be her masterpiece.

undoubtedly.

At sunset and dusk, the sky gradually darkened, and there was already a hint of coolness. We hurriedly opened the door and entered to wash away the dust of more than a day. Qiaxi, who was dirty all over his body, was also ordered by me to wash it off. In the hotel, the bathroom is still

There are quite a few.

After putting on plain clothes, I came out of the bathroom, turned around and walked downstairs to the restaurant on the first floor. Qiaxi was already sitting there obediently, waiting for my trial.

"Have you been in contact with your father all these years?" I sat across from her carelessly, poured a glass of hot water and handed it to her. With a soft expression on my face, I planned to use a gentle policy first.

"If there is any correspondence, it is all unilaterally done by me. Because my whereabouts are uncertain, my father cannot know my location and send the letter." Qiaxi answered honestly, bowing his head.

"That is to say, it has been more than two years and you haven't returned home even once?" I raised my voice, and I still have to blame when it's time to blame.

"Yes...yes." Qiaxi lowered her head even lower. Her moist golden hair, which was casually scattered after taking a bath, leaned forward with her movements and fell in front of her shoulders. However, it was bulged by the height of her chest.

When he was caught, she held her legs with both hands, looking embarrassed and ashamed.

"I've been to Uncle Rasuk's house several times." I sighed softly, and my voice softened again.

"Yes...I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." Qiaxi lowered her head tightly, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"No, you're not sorry for me. On the contrary, it's me who caused you to be like this. I feel uneasy. It's just that your father misses you very much. He has always been unwilling to let you engage in the blacksmith profession.

But during the time you were missing, he always sat at the door of the blacksmith shop and sighed, saying that if your idiot daughter is willing to come back, he will teach you seriously."

As soon as these words came out, Qiaxi's tears suddenly burst out, falling down from his face and wetting the back of his hands that were supported on his thighs. His shoulders kept shaking, as if he had lost the strength to support him and was about to fall down at any time.

The soft magic lights gradually lighting up in the hall illuminated Qiaxi's tears in various colors, just like her mood at the moment, which was extremely complicated.

I didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, letting her finish crying and calm down.

Qiaxi was a girl with rich emotions. This cry was like venting out all the grievances and sorrows she had suffered over the years. It took nearly half an hour for her to get better. She wiped her red eyes and raised her head slightly.

.

"I...I want to go home."

"No problem, but not now. You have to have a good rest. You can't go back to see your father with a dark circle under your eyes and let him worry again when he's already worried enough."

"I listen to Elder Fan." Qiaxi's heart was ups and downs, and she had lost her opinion. What I said was reasonable, and she kept nodding her head.

"Well, have a good meal and then go to rest. It's not too late to ask about your situation over the past few years. When you get back, have a good chat with me and your parents."

I stood up and saw that the maids and others had already prepared dinner.

"Elder Fan...Fan!" At this moment, Qiaxi, who had always been passive, suddenly raised his head and shouted to me in a hesitant voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Then...that, I think...I think I'd better...have a chat with you alone first, with my parents...well, I'm a little scared." Qiaxi said incoherently.

Is it because he is shy about being close to home? But there is nothing that can be done about it. I also know a thing or two about Uncle Rasuk's bad temper. It is completely conceivable that such a father who is tough on the outside but arrogant on the inside must lack communication with his daughter.

, although he knew Qiaxi, his father's dignity and dissatisfaction and scolding that he had always raised were like a wall between father and daughter. Qiaxi would rather discuss it with me first than dare to face his father directly to explain.

.

"Okay, if you feel you are not sleepy enough, you can come to me at any time." With Qiaxi's slightly relieved expression, I nodded and agreed.

Because of Qiaxi's presence, the dinner was very silent. Even the restless girl Beiya seemed to be attracted by the atmosphere and wanted to break the silence, but she just opened her mouth and could not say a word.

After dinner, I returned to the room. Tia knew that Qiaxi and I had something to say, so she didn't come over to visit. After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door.

"come in."

"Elder Fan, excuse me." Qiaxi, who lowered his head, carefully opened the door, walked in quietly, and closed the door carefully.

Seeing her every move, I couldn't help but smile and pointed to the chair opposite that had been prepared.

"Sit down, there is no need to be formal, you know my character."

"Yes, then I'm not welcome." Qiaxi started to move cautiously like a hamster, and relaxed a little, but still looked cautious, half-sitting with his buttocks, as if he wanted to stand up at any time.

"Tell me, where have you been and what have you done in the past few years? If you don't mind, you can tell me in detail. I'm quite interested in your experience." Because I subconsciously regarded Qiaxi as a junior, I didn't understand at all.

You're welcome, let's get straight to the point.

"Over the years... I have been training myself. I have been to many places..." Qiaxi spoke slowly, with some nervous stuttering in front of him. As he spoke, his eyes were blurred, and he gradually fell into memories and forgot.

The surrounding environment and the people he was facing made his speech become smoother, and the expression on his face kept changing with the memories, with all the ups and downs.

While sipping the hot tea prepared by Princess Sanwu, I listened carefully to Qiaxi's experience and sighed in my heart.

Over the years, Chaxi's life has not been easy. Under the pressure of Rukogas inheriting this giant mountain, she has become more desperate than ever. Knowing that normal methods cannot quickly improve her blacksmithing skills, she started

A thrilling travel adventure just like when Mu Aodonggua was young.

Of course. Leaving aside the issue of talent, Qiaxi’s travels must have been more hard-working than Mu’diao’s winter melon. At least back then, Mu’’’’’s winter melon had his rival Aenaris who was also a friend and foe, and he had a constant leisurely journey.

Time spent in bars filled with ale, bragging and laughter.

As for Qiaxi, she has been alone for more than two years, living a life like an ascetic, devoting herself wholeheartedly to self-improvement. Her talent cannot be compared with Mu Aodonggua, and can even be said to be a genius.

, a place, even if it had to work ten times harder, the improvement rate would not be as fast as one-tenth of what Mu Aodonggua did back then.
To be continued...
