Xiaobao pursed her lips, a bit shy like a daughter. She walked up to Lian and quickly knelt down and saluted: "Xiaoyao, thank you for your enlightenment. I will definitely not let you down in the future."
Lian looked at Xiaobao calmly and said in a calm tone: "You are smart and it will only happen sooner or later when you become an immortal. If you really want to thank me, then thank Qingyin. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't do this!"
Of course Xiaobao understands that he is able to achieve his current destiny all because of Qingyin.
It was from this moment that Xiaobao secretly swore in her heart that she would protect Qingyin thoroughly in this life.
…
After dinner, Qingyin and Xiaobao returned to the dormitory.
Her bedroom was only separated from Lian's room by a wall.
Worried that the child would not be used to it for the first time, and to be able to take better care of her, Lian vacated the room next to her as Qingyin's temporary dormitory.
On the soft bed.
Qingyin and Xiaobao lay together, telling stories about what happened during the day and making some plans for the future.
Perhaps they were too happy, so the two chatted until dawn, and then fell asleep hugging each other.
When Qingyin woke up, it was already noon the next day.
Xiaobao is not on the couch, so he must have gone to find something to eat.
She slipped off the bed, walked out of the room with her bare white jade feet, and knocked on the next door, "Master, are you there?"
The master's door was closed tightly, and he knocked softly several times, but no response was heard from inside.
"Is it possible that the master is not in the room?" Qingyin bit her finger and asked herself.
After hesitating for a while, she decided to go to the master's room and take a look. Maybe the master was meditating.
The door was pushed open with a creaking sound.
In the room, apart from the furnishings, the master's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Qingyin's face suddenly changed. She panicked and looked for that nostalgic figure outside the house, "Master! Master!"
Her voice resounded throughout the entire hall.
At that moment, unprecedented panic and despair ignited in Qingyin's heart.
She searched the entire Echo Hall but could not find the master.
The blue sky above her head meant that the weather was obviously very good, but she felt that it was the end of the world.
"Master, have you abandoned me?" Her eyes were empty, without any brilliance. She walked down the steps step by step and walked to the moonlight tree on the edge of the square. Her slender body leaned against the tree pole and slid down little by little.
.
She came out of the house in such a hurry that she didn't realize that her feet were naked. She had a lot of blisters on her feet from running all over the Hall of Echoes.
Qingyin hugged her knees, buried her head in her knees, and cried.
When Lian came up from Guanyun Hall and walked across the small bridge made of white jade, she heard the sound of crying coming from the left.
He raised his eyes and saw a little man crying sadly under the moonlight tree.
She was buried between her knees, her shoulders hunched slightly, her beautiful feet were naked on the ground, their outlines were covered with dirt, and there were a few shiny blisters on her little fingers.
Seeing this scene, Lian couldn't help but frown, feeling a twinge of distress in her heart.
"Qingyin!" He called softly.
The little man under the tree visibly trembled, and he raised his head in panic, his eyes glowing, looking at Lian standing on the bridge.
"Qing..." Lian opened her mouth and was about to ask why she was here.
Then he saw that stubborn little body, running towards him like crazy, and finally ran directly into his arms.
The sudden impact made Lian startled. Before he could recover, he felt a force tightly binding him around his waist.
