When he woke up, Xuanhuang found himself in an abandoned mountain temple.
Two ragged little beggars were fighting each other over a bun. The fat one overwhelmingly defeated the thin one simply because of their physical strength.
Xuanhuang leaned in front of the broken shrine and looked at them lazily.
When the fat little beggar saw her looking at her, he turned his back and ate the meat buns with big mouthfuls.
The thin one looked as pitiful as a monkey, looking eagerly at the bun and swallowing his saliva.
"Come here." Xuanhuang waved his little hand towards the thin child.
He glanced at her doubtfully, raised his feet and walked slowly to her side, shouting in a high-pitched voice, "What are you doing?"
Xuanhuang took out a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from his arms and handed it to him, "Take it and eat it."
She packed a lot of food and water in her small aura room, so she never had to worry about food and accommodation, even if she traveled far away for a long walk, there was no problem.
The skinny little beggar's eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly took the oil paper bag and spread it out to see five pieces of exquisite sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
He had never eaten such exquisite food in his life, and he stuffed it into his mouth hungrily.
The fat beggar on the side also saw it and hurried over, trying to repeat the same trick to force him to hand over what he had put in his mouth.
Seeing that he was stingy and excessive, Xuanhuang couldn't help but feel slightly angry, and stretched out his feet to stop him, "Who do you think you are who bullies a girl who has no power to restrain a chicken?"
When the thin little beggar who was devouring his food heard this, he suddenly raised his head and asked vaguely, "You, you... are you eating the needle?"
At this time, Lian and Xiaofeng picked up many branches and came back together. Seeing Xuanhuang wake up, they ran forward very happily.
"Xuanhuang."
"Um."
"You finally woke up." Lian said, "You have been sleeping for more than ten hours, and even the sky is broken by your sleep."
Xuanhuang knew that he was worried about her, so he smiled and touched the back of his hand, "Lotus."
The delicate and handsome face suddenly turned dark again...
Uh. Only then did Xuanhuang realize that he had called him wrong again. He quickly corrected himself and smiled at him flatteringly, "Lian."
He nodded and said without waiting for her to ask, "I've asked around, and after he returned, he was treated by various famous doctors and he didn't wake up."
While speaking, Lian glanced at the two little beggars at the side and asked, "Who are they?"
Xuanhuang shook his head, "I don't know them. They were here when I woke up. They must have been wandering around and happened to come here to find a place to sleep."
Lian snorted, turned her head and looked sideways, raised her chin slightly, and nodded in the direction of the door, "Why don't you get out of here, do you want me to do it for you myself?"
Maybe Lian's overbearing tone scared them.
He frightened the two little beggars without even showing a hint of coercion.
Not daring to say anything more, they turned around and ran out of the temple gate.
When Lian saw them leaving, it became easier to speak, "Don't worry, it's probably because of the black dragon. Xiao Yunchen may have to sleep for a while. I heard that Xiao Yunxin will act as the king of the country when he comes to court today. From now on, all major affairs should be handled by him.
He takes care of it.”
"Oh." Xuanhuang listened without much interest and just nodded lightly.
Lian didn't say anything, and she didn't ask any further questions. It seemed that they had completely broken up, and looked at everything indifferently. She didn't intend to ask Bei Xiao about anything anymore.
"Xuanhuang, what are your plans for the future?" Seeing her like this, Lian felt very happy and held her little hand in his back and asked.
Xuanhuang smiled, stretched out his hand and took out a rectangular beige card.
This was the post that Xiao Yunchen gave her after the World of Warcraft competition, saying that she had been admitted to Kunlun College under special conditions and could rush to Kunlun to enroll at any time.
Xuanhuang thought about it, now she was alone and had nowhere to go. Anyway, she wanted to keep improving, so going to the academy was a good thing. Maybe she could learn something new.
"Xuanhuang, I can't stay with you for too long." Lian held her hand and said, "This time I came out because you were in great danger. In fact, Black Dragon and I are in the same situation. We are both still in the same situation.
When I was young, I couldn't exert 10% of my skills. I think it's time for me to continue practicing. You will be fine, right?"
"Yes." Xuanhuang nodded vigorously.
"Human men are despicable and insignificant, and cannot be relied upon." Old Lian said angrily, grabbing her little hand, "Don't worry, with me protecting you from now on, no one will dare to bully you! If you really encounter something big,
Trouble, remember to call me loudly, but don’t fight alone anymore. You are my contractor, and I am your closest companion. No matter what happens in the future, I will share it with you, so you don’t have to work hard to support me anymore.”
Xuanhuang gave him a funny look and nodded his head slightly, "Lian, go ahead. I will protect myself well."
Seeing that she did not refute his words, Lian was very happy, thinking that she had listened to everything. His young figure disappeared among the ice lotuses that bloomed one after another.
Xuanhuang stared at the shabby and empty surroundings.
Suddenly, she realized that she seemed to be the only one left in the world.
There was a rustling sound at the door of the ruined temple.
Xuanhuang glanced at it and saw the thin little beggar huddled at the door of the temple with his head peeping out, not daring to come in.
When Xuanhuang saw that she was about the same age as him and was begging in disguise as a man, he felt pity in his heart and stretched out his hand to wave to her, "Come in."
The little beggar walked to her tremblingly and bowed suddenly, "Dear lady, I won't disturb you. I just hope I can sleep here tonight. It's still quite cold outside."
Xuanhuang nodded, "You can do whatever you want."
This ruined temple was opened here to open the door of convenience for the poor people. What reason did she have to drive her out?
The little beggar smiled happily, turned around and found a relatively clean place to lie down, and Xuanhuang left her alone.
I fell into a deep sleep, and when I opened my eyes again it was already bright.
"Little brother Xuanhuang!" Luo Ba's voice suddenly came from outside the temple door, "I finally found you."
Luo Ba, Hei San, Jin Lingling, their twin brother and sister Fan Yan, Fan Qi, Hongmao and others walked in with a full jar of wine and smiled.
Everyone sat on the ground and formed a circle.
"But we have found you, little brother Xuanhuang. As soon as we heard that you had broken with the Northern Xiao royal family, we were anxious to secretly look for you everywhere, but we were all very anxious."
Xuanhuang smiled and said, "I'm fine now."
The jar of wine was passed into Luo Ba's hands. He took a big gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Those fools have falsely accused you of colluding with spies in Xichang to harm the king. I will never believe it until I die."
"Yes! We won't believe it!"
Xuanhuang smiled movedly, "I'm really fine, you don't have to worry about me anymore."
Jin Lingling said, "I don't know if this is their retribution. I heard a piece of news this morning. It is said that the Xichang Kingdom sent 200,000 troops to march to the west. If this city is captured, the consequences are unpredictable."
"Are you serious?" Xuanhuang took a breath and asked with raised eyebrows.
