“If you revealed a bit more, perhaps I could come find you.” In Azure Mountain Town, Xiao Yi Xian, who had returned to her residence and was organizing medicinal herbs, lightly bit her pink lip.
“He really is in the Jia Ma Empire.
My sense of familiarity with this name was not an illusion.” Inside a frontline fortress somewhere in the Northeastern Province, Yun Yun, who had just finished discussing defense issues with the person in charge, paused her footsteps.
She decided not to return to her room here to rest but to rush back to the sect.
The capital of the Jia Ma Empire is located in the empire’s Northern Province.
It is a massive mountain range, crouching like a giant dragon, overlooking the entire south, surrounded by soaring spiritual Qi.
The Yun Lan Sect is located on a floating mountain even further north of the capital.
It can be said to be the northern border of the Jia Ma Empire, naturally curbing the southward route of the Chu Yun Empire.
With Yun Yun’s strength as a Dou Huang, she only needed to fly for a few hours to return to the sect from the Northeastern Province fortress.
She was now impatient to investigate Chu Xiao’s identity, feeling that this would be a fortuitous opportunity.
“You’ve been exposed!” Inside the Wind and Lightning Pavilion of the Central Plains, a sharp glint flashed in Feng Qing Er’s eyes.
“The remote Jia Ma Empire, right!” “Have people go investigate right now.” “The…
master who made me a mount for a hundred years.” With a direction, she could better arrange manpower to investigate.
Once she found the person, she wanted to see what kind of style this man who made her a mount possessed.
If she was dissatisfied…
“Although this young lady doesn’t have that hobby, don’t blame me for turning you into a human pet by then!” The women’s thoughts fluctuated.
At this time, Chu Xiao and Xiao Yan had already arrived at Xiao Zhan’s courtyard.
As the patriarch of the Xiao Clan, the courtyard he lived in was not particularly grand, but rather fresh and elegant.
With Chu Xiao and Xiao Yan’s identities, the guards in front of the courtyard naturally wouldn’t stop them.
The two went all the way to the backyard, where the scenery was even more refined.
“The design of this garden architecture is really good.
Every time I see it, my mood involuntarily quiets down.” Xiao Yan took a deep breath and grinned.
“Cousin, when will you design one for me too?” The design of this garden was indeed Chu Xiao’s handiwork.
Over the past fifteen years, although he hadn’t recovered his memories, he would still be influenced unconsciously.
In his previous life, he was a person living in the water towns of Jiangnan and had a special liking for garden design.
So when his aunt said she wanted to rebuild the backyard, he provided many ideas.
“Based on you, are you even worthy of letting Brother Chu Xiao waste his time?” Before Chu Xiao could speak, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the side, seemingly carrying a faint disdain.
“Are you even worthy of managing me?” Xiao Yan instinctively retorted, turning his head toward the direction of the voice and tilting his chin.
“I am Brother Chu Xiao’s direct younger brother; you, Xiao Xun Er, can’t compare to me.” “Cousin!” Xun Er expressionlessly spat out two words, then took small steps to come to Chu Xiao’s other side, tilting her head to reveal a sweet smile.
“Brother Chu Xiao, Aunt told me to come pick you up.” Mm, take a good look at the future Heavenly Emperor; she was the Empress after all.
“Cousins have a blood relationship too!” Xiao Yan clenched his fists and shouted angrily.
“You can’t compare at all.” After saying that, he turned to look at Chu Xiao.
“Brother, look at her, two faces.
You have to be careful.” “Hmm?” Xun Er sent a displeased look over.
“Scared of you?” Xiao Yan stared back.
“Xiao Yan, aren’t you afraid of being beaten?” Yao Lao’s voice appeared.
“What’s there to be afraid of?
Once my talent recovers, I’ll catch up soon.” Xiao Yan was very confident.
In the strength test a few days ago, Xun Er had already broken through to Dou Zhe, but this was a result he had achieved at age 12.
If his talent hadn’t disappeared, he might be at the Dou Shi level like his cousin now.
“That’s probably a bit difficult.” Yao Lao’s voice sounded again.
“This girl’s identity is definitely not ordinary.
Her true cultivation has already reached 7-star Dou Zhe.” “What!?” Xiao Yan’s pupils experienced an earthquake.
Xun Er was actually a year younger than him, yet she had already stepped into the late stage of Dou Zhe.
Wouldn’t that mean she could break through to Dou Shi even earlier than Chu Xiao?
Yao Lao was also secretly surprised in his heart.
He could feel that Xun Er’s foundation was very solid, and her current realm was not the limit; if she was willing, she could continue to break through.
This didn’t look like a genius that a small clan in a remote place like the Jia Ma Empire could have.
However, he didn’t tell Xiao Yan these things, only lamenting that this Xiao Clan was truly not simple.
As for the conversation between the two, neither Xun Er nor Chu Xiao were clear about it.
The latter saw the former’s eyes narrow and immediately grabbed her small hand, smiling gently.
“Xun Er, don’t lower yourself to Xiao Yan’s level.
He’s in a bad mood today.” The warm sensation on her hand caused a layer of pink to appear on Xun Er’s cheeks.
But she didn’t argue, instead nodding with a smile.
“Brother Chu Xiao is right.” If this were before, Xiao Yan would have shouted, “Cousin, look how good she is at pretending.” But right now, he was still in shock and rarely didn’t talk nonsense.
Instead, Ling Ying, hidden in the dark, felt like crying without tears.
He, a ten-thousand-year-old bachelor, also didn’t understand how Xun Er had developed into this kind of relationship with Chu Xiao.
If this were passed back to the clan…
he wouldn’t even have a chance to guard the door in the future.
“I can only hope that Miss and Young Master Chu Xiao become stronger and look after this old servant a bit.” Ling Ying thought secretly.
Since things had come to this, he would bet everything on this pair and pray for a good result for them.
“Uncle, Aunt!” Chu Xiao and the other two crossed the water pavilion and arrived at a gazebo.
Xiao Zhan and a woman with heroic looks and a bit of capability were sitting there.
On the stone table were more than a dozen small dishes and a cake.
The Dou Qi Continent didn’t have the custom of eating cake for birthdays; it was something Chu Xiao had tinkered with on a whim for Xun Er’s birthday when they were children.
It was also after that day that the relationship between the two became closer.
“It was all an unintentional mistake~” Chu Xiao thought.
What I did when I hadn’t recovered my memories, what does it have to do with me now that I have?
Causality!
“Xiao-er, come sit.
Yan-er, you come too.
Xun Er, you sit between Aunt and Xiao-er.” Aunt Fang Yi invited the three to sit down, a bright smile on her face.
Her appearance didn’t look like her own son had just had his marriage annulled by the female party.
“Today is a triple blessing.
The five of us haven’t eaten together in a long time.
It’s rare.” Fang Yi held Xun Er’s hand, not hiding her look of viewing her as a niece-in-law at all.
“Aunt, where do the three joys come from?” Xun Er smiled artfully, making the surrounding scenery seem dull.
“The first joy is Xiao-er’s birthday, and the second joy is Xiao-er breaking through to Dou Shi.” Fang Yi said this while giving Chu Xiao a side-glance.
“Such a big matter, and you kept it from us.” “I just luckily broke through a few days ago and haven’t stabilized the cultivation yet.
I’ll wait until it’s steady.” Chu Xiao drank tea to hide his awkwardness.
Actually, before, he was afraid saying it would stimulate Xiao Yan, but now that he had recovered his memories, he didn’t think it was much.
When his little cousin reached eighteen, he would be able to break through to Da Dou Shi.
“We’ll talk about this later.” Fang Yi wouldn’t fail to understand what this nephew, whom she had raised as a son, was thinking.
She didn’t linger and continued, “The third joy is Yan-er and Nalan Yanran dissolving the marriage engagement.” Xun Er looked at Chu Xiao blankly: ?
What kind of understanding is this?
Exactly who annulled the marriage?
