Ling Xiao held Tang Yingying's little hand, but before she could run far away, she was caught by Li Yuanhuan who came back from the investigation scene.
"Junior brother Ling, why are you here?" Li Yuanhuan obviously didn't expect to run into Ling Xiao, let alone that Ling Xiao would be injured.
What I didn't expect the most was that Ling Xiao actually dragged a twelve or thirteen year old girl to the sect.
Ling Xiao quickly explained: "Senior Brother, I just snuck out to drink. I hope you don't tell Master."
Li Yuanhuan's manly brows wrinkled: "Your injuries, and her..."
When she saw Li Yuanhuan pointing at herself, Tang Yingying was so frightened that she hid behind Ling Xiao and grabbed Ling Xiao's arm tightly with both hands.
Ling Xiao hurriedly patted Tang Yingying's hand, indicating that she didn't need to be afraid. Tang Yingying felt a little more at ease, but she still looked at Li Yuanhuan with a hint of wariness in her eyes. It was just that it was darker, and both Li Yuanhuan and Ling Xiao
Just didn't notice it.
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and said hurriedly: "On the way back, I met a rat demon. He wanted to eat the lost little girl, so he had a big fight with the rat demon and killed the rat demon.
The result was a failure.”
"Nonsense!" Li Yuanhuan shouted angrily: "Don't you know that Master's efforts are all on you? If something happens to you, what will we do if you call us Beimin Sect?"
"Don't be cruel to Brother Xiao!" Tang Yingying suddenly yelled, her eyebrows were raised, and she glared at Li Yuanhuan: "Brother Xiao saved me, he is a good person, why do you want to be cruel to him?"
This time Li Yuanhuan and Ling Xiao were both stunned.
Ling Xiao was even more surprised at how Tang Yingying became so bold. He didn't know how fierce Li Yuanhuan was in Tang Yingying's eyes.
And when a "good guy" like Ling Xiao was treated so cruelly by Li Yuanhuan, Tang Yingying naturally stepped forward to "justice" for Ling Xiao.
When Ling Xiao saw that Tang Yingying actually spoke up for him, he was so moved that he almost hugged the little girl and thought to himself: Brother Xiao finally didn't hurt you in vain!
Li Yuanhuan sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's go back to the sect first."
Ling Xiao nodded, and the three of them returned to Beimin Sect and sneaked into the medicinal material warehouse.
Ling Xiao said cautiously: "Senior Brother, don't let Master know what happened tonight. The injuries on my body will definitely recover completely before going to Luofeng Valley. Don't worry about this. It's just a matter of me hiding Yingying in the medicinal material warehouse.
Don’t tell anyone either.”
Li Yuanhuan is an upright man, but he is not a fool. He naturally understands that this girl has unknown origins.
Moreover, he could also faintly feel that this girl had an aura that was slightly different from human beings.
Master was busy with this matter, and he always felt bad about it.
However, due to Ling Xiao's plea, Li Yuanhuan had to compromise: "You must ensure that this woman cannot leave the medicinal material warehouse while we are in the Beimin Sect. Otherwise, I will definitely report it to the master."
Ling Xiao quickly made an oath: "Senior Brother, I can swear on my soul that before I send Yingying away, I will not let her escape from the medicinal material warehouse."
The reason why Ling Xiao was so bold to swear with his soul was because he didn't want Yingying to escape from the medicinal material warehouse.
As for Yingying being caught running around, it's none of his business.
For someone who had already sworn a soul poison oath, Ling Xiao didn't care about making another one.
Besides, he didn't say what would happen if he broke his oath. Only an honest person like Li Yuanhuan would be deceived by Ling Xiao: "Okay, junior brother, you take good care of your injuries. I'll go on patrol at night."
"Well, senior brother, let's go slowly." After seeing Li Yuanhuan off, Ling Xiao finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Except for me, no one else comes here. If you hear someone coming, you should hide in the pile of herbs. Do you understand? Brother Xiao will definitely send you home after a while." Ling Xiao
He explained it very seriously, and Tang Yingying was so frightened that she nodded seriously.
Looking at Tang Yingying's cute appearance, Ling Xiao couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch her fair and tender face.
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it, lest Tang Yingying think that she was taking advantage of her.
Ling Xiao, who never thought about being a good person, rarely became a gentleman for once.
When Ling Xiao returned to his room, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to find Ziyun, and in the end nothing was done. Alas!
Although he had the opportunity to meet Tang Yingying, as soon as Tang Yingying's pure eyes flashed through Ling Xiao's mind, he felt that he was too despicable, too shameless, and too dirty.
Of course, Ling Xiao felt heartbroken when he thought of the four hundred citrines spent, although Tang Yingying was definitely worth the price to him.
The key is that the money was taken away by the old bustard. He was very willing and could only comfort himself: "Humph, forget it, I am rich now, I will scare you to death with crystal stones!"
Another day passed peacefully. Ling Xiao didn't go anywhere. He just hid in the medicinal material warehouse and chatted with Tang Yingying about life and ideals.
Tang Yingying told Ling Xiao that she was a little demon on the demon island in the East China Sea. She ran away for fun and was caught by a soul master. Then she was sold to the old bustard of Piaohongyuan.
Therefore, Tang Yingying has a sense of fear and disgust towards the Soul Master, which is why Tang Yingying dislikes Li Yuanhuan very much when she sees him.
As for Ling Xiao, Tang Yingying did not regard him as a soul master at all, but regarded her as one of his relatives.
She considers anyone who treats her well to be her relative and a good person. The little banshee Tang Yingying's outlook on life is so simple.
Ling Xiao's peaceful day was like this. The next day, when Ling Xiao was about to talk to Tang Yingying again about life and ideals, Li Yuanhuan found him with a look of helplessness: "Let's go, Master asked you to come over."
Seeing Li Yuanhuan's solemn expression and his lack of words, Ling Xiao knew it was definitely not a good thing.
Ling Xiao followed Li Yuanhuan into the hall and found that all the brothers and sisters were there, just like when he first entered the Beimin Sect.
Ling Xiao took a moment to pay attention to the expressions on everyone's faces, and found that they were also as serious as Li Yuanhuan.
Only the big guy named Xiao Zhang stood beside his master Cheng Qiantai with a proud look on his face, looking at Ling Xiao with disdain.
That arrogant look was clearly telling Ling Xiao that you were dead.
As soon as Cheng Qiantai saw Ling Xiao walking in, his expression did not change, but there was a trace of anxiety in his words: "Ling Xiao, a fellow student accused you of sleeping in the land of flowers and willows at night, and also sold a banshee, is there any
This matter!?"
Ling Xiao knew that he was too high-profile in Beimin, so there was no way to cover up this matter.
However, Ling Xiao was not worried at all, he had already made a plan in his mind.
Even if everyone in the world believed that Ling Xiao would buy that little banshee, his master would not believe it.
Ling Xiao knelt down on the ground very calmly and bowed "affectionately" to Cheng Qiantai: "Master, you are so kind to Xiao'er, which makes your classmates jealous, and Xiao'er is very scared. If Master, you think this is the case, Everything is true, so Xiaoer naturally has nothing to say, so please take back everything the master gave to your disciple."
When Ling Xiao bowed just now, he banged his head on the ground loudly, and at the same time, he had snot and tears as he spoke.
Those senior brothers and sisters who were moved to tears by his performance all felt that they had gone too far towards this new junior brother?
Cheng Yu's attitude towards Ling Xiao is still contemptuous: "Why should a grown man cry? It's really disgusting!"
Seeing that Cheng Qiantai's expression softened, Xiao Zhang became anxious: "Master, Ling Xiao bought a little banshee. Everyone in Beimin City knows about that!"
"Ahem!" Cheng Qantai coughed heavily: "Ling Xiao, what do you have to explain?"
Ling Xiao was waiting for Cheng Qiantai's words. As soon as Cheng Qiantai asked him to explain, he immediately stood up and asked Xiao Zhang with a sneer: "Brother Xiao, you said I bought a little banshee, is that right?" Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Xiao Zhang was speechless for a moment: "No..."
Then I thought about it, that's not right. So many people have seen it. Even if I, Xiao Zhang, didn't see it, am I still afraid that you, Ling Xiao, won't admit it?
So, Xiao Zhang shouted aggressively again: "But many people in Beimin City have seen it!"
Ling Xiao sneered: "Those people are just scum who hang out in brothels all day long. Can you believe what they say?"
While scolding the people who visited the brothel, Ling Xiao comforted himself and said: I only went there once, so I shouldn't be considered a scumbag.
I don't know why, but after meeting Tang Yingying, Ling Xiao always felt that she had been "sinful" before and started to pay attention to her image.
Xiao Zhang retorted: "It's groundless, how come there is no reason? If you hadn't really bought a little banshee, why would others say that about you?"
Ling Xiao had no choice but to spread his hands and asked helplessly: "Okay, Senior Brother Xiao, how much did I pay for that little banshee?"
When Xiao Zhang heard Ling Xiao's admission, he said proudly: "Four hundred topaz stones..."
When this sentence came out, even Xiao Zhang himself felt it was a bit weird.
Can Ling Xiao get four hundred topaz stones? That is almost the protection fee of Beimin Sect for one year.
Xiao Zhang knew that he had no way to deal with the aftermath this time, and looked at Cheng Qantai with fear: "Master, I..."
"Hmph!" Cheng Qiantai said with an angry look on his face: "Xiao Zhang, Master, please don't worry, that's why I let you work for our Beimin faction in Beimin City all day long, but you can't even tell the difference between the true and false information at the very least, framed by false accusations Fellow sect Qingyu, if this is known to people from other sects, how can our Beimin sect lose face? This time, I will punish you with three months of monthly spar payments, and next time, you will definitely cancel your practice and be expelled from the sect!"
"Yes, Master, I realize my mistake." Xiao Zhang was sweating profusely and subconsciously wiped his forehead with his sleeve.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the fleeting sneer on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, and his heart trembled. He felt like he was being targeted by a devil: "No, we must find a way to get this kid out! It's not him who dies. , it means I die!”
