Chapter 94 What does it mean?

"big eater."

"No, no." Ye Xingzhou shook his index finger. "It's unfair to anyone, but not to your stomach."

"It's just a glutton."

"All right."

At the end of the steps, there is a fork in the road ahead, with two different stone blue roads.

One leads to the inner door, and the other leads to the outer door and bedrooms.

Meng Zhi picked up Ren Wangzhu and was about to turn around and walk to the left.

Ye Xingzhou called him at this time.

"Junior brother, wait a moment."

"What are you doing?" Meng Zhi turned around.

Ye Xingzhou's hand reached out towards his head, but Meng Zhi dodged sideways.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't be so alert, little brother. There is a maple leaf in your hair and I want to help you take it off." Ye Xingzhou said innocently.

It’s no wonder Meng Zhi is vigilant, it’s just that Ye Xingzhou always does some strange things.

What if Ye Xingzhou had sweat on his hands and deliberately wiped it on his hair?

Meng Zhi looked at Ye Xingzhou's hand suspended in mid-air. It was white and slender, with a light pink on the fingertips.

Meng Zhi lowered his eyes and glanced at his hands. The knuckles were slightly protruding, and the palms were covered with calluses from years of holding the sword.

The fingertips did not look as soft as Ye Xingzhou's.

Meng Zhi took half a step forward and lowered his head slightly.

Ye Xingzhou raised his hand and took a red maple leaf from his black hair.

"Look, Maple Leaf."

Ye Xingzhou picked up the maple leaf and waved it in front of Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi's eyes fell on the maple leaf.

Behind that maple leaf are Ye Xingzhou's smiling eyes.

Taking advantage of Meng Zhi's distraction, Ye Xingzhou stretched out a hand at lightning speed and rubbed Meng Zhi's head hard.

The neat hair becomes messy in an instant.

Ye Xingzhou's teeth were all white, and he ran towards the inner gate while laughing, "Hahahaha, little brother, you've been fooled!"

He ran away so fast, for fear that Meng Zhi would catch up and beat him up.

Meng Zhi's lips were stretched into a straight line, and she gritted her teeth as she watched Ye Xingzhou hide in the inner door.

Ye Xingzhou, you really deserve it!

He shouldn't have believed his lies!

Next time, next time he must return it!

There seemed to be some residual touch on the top of my head, just like petting a cat.

Meng Zhi's gaze followed the running figure to the back of the towering sect gate.

Until even the white corners of the clothes disappeared.

Meng Zhi, with messy hair, carried Ren Wangzhu on his back and walked towards the bedroom without saying a word.

Although she is a few years older than him, her behavior is so childish.

How childish.

*

Ye Xingzhou, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, slowly walked into the sect.

The aftereffects of the swelling and pain in the brain are gradually subsiding.

Ye Xingzhou did not return to Lingjian Peak first. He pinched his fingers to summon a crane and headed to Gongya.

He hasn't even seen his long-missed mother, who has no blood relationship with him and whose gender doesn't even match his!

This time, I was able to reach the fourth floor of the library thanks to the five talismans given by Xiang Xiuyuan.

Xiang Xiuyuan is truly the most powerful epic helper!

Be sure to thank him very much!

Even the wind from Gongya was filled with a layer of sword energy.

Ye Xingzhou saw the man practicing sword alone from a distance. In the center of the river, there was a water-moon mirror. The mirror surface was shimmering with the water. A line of words on the mirror frame and his figure caught his eye: The sky is clear and the water is shining with the moon.

He was thin and lonely, his light blue clothes fluttering as he practiced sword skills, a few strands of hair blowing across his face in the wind, and his eyes were as tough as sword energy.

He held a mottled long sword, yet was able to swing it with fierce sword energy.

Be neither arrogant nor impatient, and keep a calm mind.

Cang Qingjian followed him and they really followed the right master.

Xiang Xiuyuan was already in the mood and didn't notice the arrival of others.

Ye Xingzhou sat behind a tree, holding up his face and waiting quietly for Xiang Xiuyuan to finish practicing this set of exercises.

The first step is to wait for a cup of tea.

Xiang Xiuyuan exhaled a breath of foul air and barely put away his sword.

He went to the river and scooped up a handful of water to wash his face.

The cool river water washed away the sweat on my face, moistening my long eyelashes, and streams of water slid down my cheeks.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a layer of gold on the water surface, and ripples on the river surface reflected the people on the riverside.

That face was a blend of feminine gentleness and exuded a special kind of intimacy.

From Xiang Xiuyuan's face, Ye Xingzhou could vaguely see what his mother looked like.

This feeling is just like when my mother washed my baby’s face when I was little. She would put a towel in a basin of steaming hot water, wring out the water, and then put the towel directly on the baby’s face and rub it vigorously twice.

It was hot and stuffy to breathe under the handkerchief. If I cried accidentally, I would get two slaps and motherly care.

It is a memory engraved in my bones that I can never forget.

Xiang Xiuyuan gives people a feeling similar to this childhood memory.

"Mother, ah no, Brother Xiang."

Ye Xingzhou stumbled over his words for a moment, then immediately changed his words after realizing he had said the wrong thing.

He ran out from under the tree and looked at the sky cautiously again.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw there was no sign of thunder.

It’s not that I don’t dare to shout, I’m really afraid of being struck by lightning.

Xiang Xiuyuan opened his eyes, a drop of water slid down his eyelids, and when he saw the person coming, his eyes flashed slightly.

He had nothing good to repay the previous secret realm incident.

In the storage bag are talismans that have not been given away yet and cannot be taken out.

The talisman he exchanged for the best elixir he had was not as good as the one Meng Zhi gave him.

He didn't know whether this behavior was an act of gratitude or taking advantage of Ye Xingzhou.

Xiang Xiuyuan pursed his lips.

Ye Xingzhou's eyes were filled with gratitude, "Brother Xiang, thank you so much this time!"

"What?"

"Talisman, Brother Xiang, the talisman you gave me has been a great help!" Ye Xingzhou's joy was evident in his words. "Without the talisman, I wouldn't even be able to reach the fourth floor."

Four floors?

Xiang Xiuyuan asked, "Are you talking about the fourth floor of the library?"

"That's right." Ye Xingzhou nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Meeting Ye Xingzhou's gaze, Xiang Xiuyuan didn't know how to react for a moment.

He stood there awkwardly for a while, then hesitantly reached into his storage bag.

"If you need it, I have more here."

Even if it's of the talisman class, it's not as good as the one given by Meng Zhi.

"Thank you, Brother!"

Ye Xingzhou accepted the four amulets without hesitation.

With his current spiritual power, he is not able to draw so many second-level talismans. When he enters the library, the protective talismans will be of great use.

So, you have to ask for it, but you can’t ask for it for free.

Ye Xingzhou took out a book on heavenly swordsmanship from his storage bag and handed it to Xiang Xiuyuan.

"Brother Xiang, this is for you."

The first moment Xiang Xiuyuan saw the level of the swordsmanship, he was surprised, and after the surprise, he was rejected.

This book of Heavenly Grade Sword Technique was a gift from Elder Zuo to Ye Xingzhou when he accepted a disciple on behalf of Immortal Venerable Wujian.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators might not possess the Heavenly Grade Sword Technique, but Ye Xingzhou gave it to him.

"No need, Junior Brother Ye, I——"

"Don't talk, just hold it in your pocket."

Ye Xingzhou stuffed a piece of candied fruit into his mouth, interrupting him as he was about to speak.

He quickly pinned the Heavenly Sword Technique on Xiang Xiuyuan's belt, patted it twice to make sure it wouldn't fall off, and then withdrew his hand.

"Brother Xiang, please don't refuse, and don't feel any psychological burden."

Ye Xingzhou looked straight at Xiang Xiuyuan, his eyes frank and sincere, "You have also helped me a lot. If you feel indebted to me, please tell me what happened after you entered the belly of the red refining snake."

The sweet taste of the candied fruit spread along the tip of her tongue. She shook her head at Xiuyuan and firmly refused.

"I can't take it. You can give it to Junior Brother Meng. Junior Brother Meng is also a sword cultivator." And he has the best relationship with you.

Ye Xingzhou's face fell, "Brother, do you look down on me?"

Xiang Xiuyuan shook his head and spoke incoherently, "No, but——"

Ye Xingzhou interrupted again, "Didn't you say you could be my mother? Are you refusing because you don't want to get close to me?"

"That's not what I meant."

"Then you mean to accept it."

"That's not what I meant."

Ye Xingzhou's face fell even further. "So, Senior Brother Xiang, what exactly do you mean?"
