Chapter 122 Come out, I won’t hit you

Damn the demon cultivator, damn the left protector, they made him distracted while walking.

The more you can blame others, the less internal energy you will waste on yourself.

Because the demon cultivator stole the demon summoning scroll, he came to his third senior brother to ask for the mission token. Because he wanted the token, he was distracted and fell.

To round it off, it was the demon cultivator who caused him to fall.

Damn it!

The left protector had better keep his tail between his legs and not show up!

Thousands of miles away, the left protector, who was being punished for failing his mission, sneezed violently.

After the sneeze, blood began to flow from the deep whip wound on his shoulder that was visible to the bone.

He seemed not to feel any pain and was still cursing under his breath.

"Damn it, Ye Xingzhou must be scolding me."

It wasn't him who stole the Demon Summoning Scroll, so why should Ye Xingzhou scold him if he doesn't scold the Right Protector!

Not only did he act to deceive people, but Ye Xingzhou also kept picking on him.

Just bully the honest people!

While the left protector was still cursing, Ye Xingzhou was already on his way to Xiuyuan with the mission card in his hand.

From a distance, you can see people practicing swords by the river.

Ye Xingzhou stood behind the tree as before, waiting for Xiang Xiuyuan to finish practicing his skills and put away his sword.

But this time, Xiang Xiuyuan discovered his arrival early.

"Junior Brother Ye."

Xiang Xiuyuan sheathed his sword and walked towards Ye Xingzhou.

"Brother Xiang, did I disturb you while you were practicing sword?" Why did he find out as soon as he arrived this time?

Xiang Xiuyuan shook his head, "Not yet."

The last time Ye Xingzhou came, he was so engrossed in practicing sword skills that he didn't notice anyone, leaving Junior Brother Ye waiting for a long time.

From then on, when he practiced sword, he would always use his peripheral vision to pay attention to the movements around him.

As soon as Junior Brother Ye arrived, he noticed it and didn't keep him waiting for long.

Ye Xingzhou had no intention of hiding anything. This trip would inevitably be risky, so he told Xiang Xiuyuan the truth. Whether he went or not, he would respect the other party's choice.

Ye Xingzhou: "Brother Xiang, do you remember the time when you kept watch for me while I entered the Tianji Pavilion?"

Xiang Xiuyuan: "Remember."

Ye Xingzhou: "I met the fortune teller, and he told me to take the people with wood spiritual roots with me and go to Dongyin Country to find the demon summoning scroll."

Xiang Xiuyuan was puzzled, "Didn't the Demon Summoning Scroll be brought back?" As far as he knew, it had been sealed.

Ye Xingzhou: "It was stolen last night."

"Then let's go and retrieve the Demon Summoning Scroll as soon as possible."

Some time ago, he learned that the Linghu Lake in Dongyin Country had dried up and the spiritual vein had disappeared, so he went to the Mission Hall to receive a mission.

Lu Sanren said at the time that the mission token had not been returned yet, so he could only put the matter aside.

Xiang Xiuyuan agreed readily. Seeing this, Ye Xingzhou did not hesitate. He took a storage bag of water that he had stored in advance, took the task card and left the sect together.

As usual, before leaving the sect, he sent two spiritual messages to Meng Zhi and Ren Wangzhu.

However, he only mentioned the sect and did not say where he was going specifically.

This trip is dangerous, so you two junior brothers can just wait for him to come back in the sect.

Halfway down the mountain, the road was covered with a layer of snow.

Late autumn has passed, and the fiery red maple forest is covered with white snow.

Two sets of fresh footprints were left where I walked.

"Brother Xiang, I remember you said before that our mother is also in Dongyin Country, and we can go back to see her on the way."

"Yeah." Xiang Xiuyuan responded.

Ye Xingzhou kept chattering along the way.

"Brother, how long have you not been home?"

"Three years."

"My mother must have missed you so much."

Xiang Xiuyuan pursed his lips.

think.

He misses his mother too.

Ye Xingzhou suddenly paused and looked back.

Not far away, there were two ugly snowmen.

Ye Xingzhou scratched his head and said, "Brother, I remember that the two snowmen didn't seem to be that close."

Xiang Xiuyuan also looked back.

At this look, the snow covering one of the snowmen's heads fell off, revealing Ren Wangzhu's red cheeks from the cold.

Noticing the two people's gazes, he closed his eyes and buried his head in the snow as if trying to cover his ears and steal the bell. After wrapping himself in the snow, he straightened his head and continued to pretend to be a snowman.

“…” You can tell who came up with this idea at first glance.

Meng Zhi couldn't pretend anymore. He used some hand gestures to clear the snow off his body, picked up Ren Wangzhu, who had curled up like a quail, and strode over.

not good.

Looking at his steps, he seems to be getting beaten.

Ye Xingzhou shuddered and hid behind Xiang Xiuyuan.

This was the first time Xiang Xiuyuan looked Meng Zhi face to face.

Those narrow, sinister phoenix eyes revealed an oppressive feeling that was not in line with her age.

He glanced at Xiang Xiuyuan without any expression, then shifted his gaze to lock onto Ye Xingzhou and reached out to grab him.

"Junior brother, calm down! Calm down!"

Ye Xingzhou moved left and right, dodging constantly.

When Meng Zhi was about to catch the person, Xiang Xiuyuan reached out to stop him.

Meng Zhi narrowed his eyes.

Xiang Xiuyuan said calmly, "If you have anything to say, you can talk it out. There's no need to resort to violence."

"Yes, yes, little brother." Ye Xingzhou timidly poked his head out, "I am your senior brother. Hitting me is disrespectful to you."

Meng Zhi put his hand away and said, "Come out, I won't hit you."

Ye Xingzhou jumped out for a second and immediately dodged behind Xiang Xiuyuan.

Only after making sure that Meng Zhi had no intention of taking action did he come out again.

Then--

With a bang.

Ye Xingzhou covered his forehead and behaved himself.

This time, Ren Wangzhu covered his red cheeks and did not stand up for Ye Xingzhou.

He said in a wronged voice, "Brother, you never take us with you."

Ye Xingzhou said, "I'll be back soon."

Ren Wangzhu: "We can come back soon if we go with you."

It seems to make sense.

Ye Xingzhou was at a loss for words and blinked desperately to send a distress signal to Xiang Xiuyuan.

Xiang Xiuyuan lowered his eyelids.

He is not good at speaking, and if he speaks, it may affect the relationship between the three of them.

Just as he was thinking about it, a book of intermediate-level martial arts techniques came flying towards him.

Xiang Xiuyuan subconsciously took it and looked up. The young man in red walking in front of him had a golden hairpin shining in his hair. When he turned around, his face was full of impatience.

"Return the gift."

These two short words and a book of intermediate-level martial arts were a return gift for the tassel cake.

Xiang Xiuyuan refused flatly, "It's too expensive. I can't accept it."

Meng Zhi: "If you don't want it, just throw it away."

“…”

The two spoke for the first time. One of them said one thing and meant another, and the other was not good at speaking, so the conversation was particularly dry.

Xiang Xiuyuan was holding the martial arts technique, feeling a little overwhelmed. When he was about to seek Ye Xingzhou's help, another person appeared.

Ren Wangzhu leaned forward again, tilting his head, looking dazed. "Brother Xiang?"

"Um."

Xiang Xiuyuan felt uncomfortable and made a lot of small movements.

Ren Wangzhu didn't notice at all and smiled brilliantly, "Brother Xiang, the tassel cake you made is delicious!"

"Meng Zhi still has two pieces left. I asked him for them last night, but he refused to give them to me."

Xiang Xiuyuan's eyebrows moved slightly, "I'll do more next time."

"Great! Brother Xiang, you're almost catching up with my brother!"

Ren Wangzhu was so happy that he turned his head and made a face at Meng Zhi, "I don't want it if you don't give it to me. I'll eat what Senior Brother Xiang makes now."

Meng Zhi hugged the sword and was too lazy to pay attention.

Ye Xingzhou looked at Meng Zhi's back and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Junior brother finally learned how to make friends.

Before I could feel happy, Meng Zhi turned around and gave me a murderous look.

Ye Xingzhou raised his hands instantly, "Junior brother, I didn't do anything wrong."

Meng Zhi sneered, "'Our mother', you seem quite cheerful when you call her that."

Even from such a distance, Meng Zhi, with his sharp ears, could hear it all.

Ye Xingzhou put his hand on Meng Zhi's shoulder with a smile, "Brother Xiang, this skill was taught to me by my mother. She's very kind."

"Really?" Ren Wangzhu's eyes were bright and clear. "Brother Xiang, I want to see our mother too."

All of a sudden, Xiang Xiuyuan had two more people trying to steal his mother.

I tried to help my senior brother to get his junior brother, but his junior brother wanted to steal my senior brother's mother.

"Brother Xiang, what does our mother look like?"

"Brother Xiang, will our mother be happy to see us?"

"Brother Xiang, what does our mother like? I'll buy some more gifts for her."

Xiang Xiuyuan's original nervousness gradually dissipated amid Ren Wangzhu's chattering questions.

"Two junior brothers, bring more water, the Dongyin Kingdom Spirit Lake is dry."
