Ling'er threw herself into Xiao Xue's arms and started crying, still crying.
Xiao Xue sighed helplessly, it was true that this little girl seemed like nothing good happened every time she saw her.
"Ling'er, don't cry, sister is here."
Xiao Xue spoke and comforted in a low voice. In this world where the jungle prevails, all this seems to be a given.
Xiao Xue only stayed for a short moment this time, because there was one more important thing to do.
After leaving Qingshan Town, Xiao Xue stopped on a platform, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
The wind beside her ears blew gently, and at this moment, Xiao Xue didn't know why she went crazy. All she saw was a flash of cold light, and a big tree behind her fell down.
Two figures flashed out from behind the big tree at the same time. Before the figure could escape, wave after wave of sword shadows headed towards the figure on the left.
The figure kept dodging among the trees, accurately dodging Xiao Xue's attacks every time, but the next second, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Xue's mouth.
Those sword images have self-awareness. No matter how the person changes his position, the sword shadow will follow him like a shadow.
At this time, the figure on the right appeared in mid-air but did not take action against Xiao Xue. He even clapped his hands and seemed to be gloating about his misfortune.
He also yelled: "Well done, beat him up."
People who don't know the truth might think she is mentally retarded.
The figure being chased by the sword shadow made a sound as if begging for mercy while avoiding it.
"Little sister, stop it, I didn't offend you."
Xiao Xue gave the man a roll of his eyes, and the sword shadow stopped at the man's forehead.
"Who are you? What little sister? I don't have an old brother who will not save you."
Xiao Xue quickly flashed in front of the man, put away the Frost Sword, and stood with the sword behind her back.
It turned out that the person being chased and beaten by Xiao Xue was Xiao Yan, who had gone into seclusion a year ago, and the other person was Zi Yan.
Zi Yan laughed so hard that she laughed out loud and out of breath.
"Sister, fight well. Let him bully me."
Xiao Yan looked at the sword shadow on his forehead and waved his hands repeatedly, looking innocent.
"No, I didn't bully you. Don't add insult to injury."
Turning to face Xiao Xue with a smile on her face: "Little sister, don't listen to her nonsense. How could I bully her? It's fine if she doesn't bully me."
Xiao Xue raised her eyebrows, a look of disbelief hanging on her face.
"Yeah?"
"Yes, yes, it's true!"
Zi Yan was laughing so hard that she was about to burst into tears. She never thought that Xiao Yan would be so afraid of her sister.
Xiao Xue withdrew the Frost Sword, and the shadow of the sword disappeared from Xiao Yan's forehead.
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Why did he feel like he would be picked on by Xiao Xue every time he didn't see each other for a long time? It's so tiring to be an older brother.
However, Xiao Yan only dared to complain about this in his heart, otherwise he would inevitably be beaten severely.
"Since you admit your mistake so sincerely, I forgive you, but was it good to watch the show just now?"
As soon as Xiao Xue said those last words, Xiao Yan's eyes widened and she panicked, making Xiao Yan even more embarrassed.
It seems that this girl has known where she is for a long time. It seems that the little girl's strength has improved a lot after not seeing her for a year.
Xiao Yan laughed stupidly, why did Emperor Yan become so stupid in front of his sister?
Xiao Xue shook her head, she couldn't take such a stupid brother, yes, she couldn't take it, she could only beat her.
"Thank you little sister for not beating me up."
"Okay, it seems you two have made a breakthrough."
Xiao Xue looked at the two people, especially Zi Yan. This little guy hadn't grown at all, but it could be seen that his strength had improved a lot.
The three of them returned to the imperial capital talking and laughing. Only after returning to the imperial capital did Xiao Yan learn from Xiao Ding's mouth what had happened in the past year.
Especially when Xiao Xue went to the Luoyan Empire alone and successfully stopped the Luoyan Empire's army, Xiao Yan admired him at first but then became worried.
"Brother, you and my little sister have worked really hard this year. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid this Flame Alliance wouldn't exist. Hey, I owe you so much."
At this time, Xiao Xue had already been dragged out to play by Zi Yan. Xiao Xue could not hear Xiao Yan's guilt.
Xiao Ding smiled and said: "Xiao Yanzi, don't say that, we are all the Xiao family. No one owes anyone. The Xiao family will still need you as the helmsman in the future."
Today's Xiao family is no longer what it used to be, especially after this national war, the Xiao family has a reputation as the first family in the Jia Ma Empire.
Just what Xiao Xue did was enough for the Xiao family to gain a foothold in the Jia Ma Empire, not to mention Xiao Ding's planning to ensure most of the military supplies for the Jia Ma Empire army.
Jia Xingtian rarely praised the Xiao family, which he would never have dared to think about before.
Of course he has selfish motives, but this selfishness is hidden by Xiao Xue. Although he is unwilling to do so, there is nothing he can do about it.
"Xiao Yanzi, my little sister just said that she will not care about the sect conference."
Xiao Ding saw Xiao Yan's expression of shame for not making any contribution in seclusion for a year, so he mentioned what Xiao Xue had said at the beginning.
It also allows Xiao Yan not to have any mental burden, and at the same time, it also gives Xiao Yan a goal.
"Don't worry, brother, I know how to do it. But brother, you don't know that this girl will beat me up as soon as she sees me, and she doesn't take my brother seriously at all."
Xiao Ding was quite curious, but he didn't see Xiao Yan say this with his own eyes.
But at this moment, a voice like a nightingale sounded: "You deserve to be beaten!"
Zi Yan jumped in from the outside with two bunches of candied haws in her hand, and Queen Medusa followed behind with a light step. There was no expression on her face.
Seeing that Xiao Yan felt nervous inside, Zi Yan's words made the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitch, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.
"I think Zi Yan is right. You just deserve a beating. It would be great if Xiao Xue really beats you down."
Queen Medusa has regarded the Xiao family as her own home, without any courtesy of host and guest.
Xiao Ding covered his mouth and smiled secretly, and winked at Liu Fei behind him. Liu Fei immediately understood and pushed Xiao Ding out of the hall.
"Brother..."
Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Ding just gave a cheering gesture and left.
Leaving Xiao Yan even more embarrassed, Queen Medusa just glanced at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was trembling in his heart. What else was this woman trying to do?
"Cailin, I heard that you helped the empire protect the human race this time. It's really good. You are very enlightened."
Zi Yan was completely confused by what Xiao Yan said. After all, the candied haws in her hand tasted good. She opened her mouth and ate one, and smiled with satisfaction.
Queen Medusa just stared at Xiao Yan without saying a word, which made Xiao Yan completely stupid. What on earth was this woman thinking?
Didn't she have so much hatred towards herself before? Why does she seem so unfavorable now? Could it be that she didn't refine the elixir for her? It seems that she can't escape this time, after all, the one-year period has come.
