"Zhao Rong, you are not going to return this treasure to them?"

After leaving the people at Qianhan Peak, the sword spirit couldn't help but frown and ask.

"Do you think I look like a living Bodhisattva?" Zhao Rong asked casually.

Gui and Zhao Rong have been together for a long time and have roughly understood the meaning of "living Bodhisattva".

So it nodded without thinking.

“…”

"If it was before, I wouldn't be worried, but now you are almost becoming a saint, I am very worried."

Zhao Rong was immediately annoyed, "Have you forgotten what Zhu Yourong said before?"

Gui seemed to be thinking about something.

Not long ago, a busty female teacher raised her chin and said coldly when she left that it was unreasonable for Linlu Academy to swallow its anger and return the spoils when its own Confucian scholars were bullied.

"So, Mr. Zhao is going to talk some sense into them? And he's also going to pick a fight with them?" It asked playfully.

Zhao Rong did not comment.

He walked away for a while.

Suddenly he smiled, "I'm curious about their reactions, let's take a look first."

The sword spirit smiled.

Soon, Zhao Rong came to Su Xiaoxiao who was waiting under a fruit tree.

"Here you go." She handed him a fruit.

Zhao Rong took it and took a bite without wiping it, because the little fox demon who liked to jump and pick fruits must have wiped it clean for him.

"Silly girl, let's go."

Zhao Rong took the lead and left.

Su Xiaoxiao curiously looked at the people from Qianhan Peak who were looking over there, and without asking any questions, she followed them away obediently.

On the night road.

"There was a small misunderstanding just now, but it has been resolved. We had a friendly exchange and the people here are very warm and hospitable."

Zhao Rong explained with a smile.

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao tightened the small bookcase on her back and nodded.

As we walked, no one spoke.

The atmosphere gradually became silent.

It seemed as if he realized that tonight's walk was over and he had to go back.

Walked quietly for a while.

Zhao Rong suddenly whispered, "I'm going to send you back, silly girl."

"good."

"I just called Uncle Xiaobai over and asked him to take you back. I have something to do and probably can't go with you." Zhao Rong stepped forward.

"It's okay." She looked down at the road beneath her feet.

"What? Aren't you worried that I'll change my mind and run away again?" He smiled and asked curiously.

Su Xiaoxiao walked quickly forward, took the hand of the man leading the way in front, and shook her head with a faint smile.

She knew he wasn't leaving.

He couldn't deceive her.

Zhao Rong couldn't help but grab her warm, chubby little hand, then couldn't help laughing. He looked up at the bright starry sky above him after the rain, and took a deep breath.

The little fox demon, carrying a small bookcase on her back and wearing a red dress, was holding his hand and suddenly swung her body happily.

Holding hands.

Swing it.

Like riding on a swing.

It's like making a pinky promise, promising to remain unchanged for ten thousand years.

"I'll stay and pick a moon to bring you home in exchange." He said with a smile.

"go home!"

She jumped happily, waved her little pink fist, and said crisply:

"I'll wait for you, Zhao Ziyu!"

"Okay, Su Dahuang."

…

When Li Bai received the message and rushed over, Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao were waiting for him outside the bustling town.

The man holding the sword looked from a distance, then walked closer.

He pretended not to see the fox girl carrying a book box and nodded to Zhao Rong as a greeting.

Li Bai was actually a little embarrassed.

Because of the tattling incident yesterday.

Although Concubine Zhao Ling took all the blame on herself, Li Bai still felt that he should be more cautious in handling these matters in the future.

Try not to get involved.

Zhao Rong, Zhao Lingfei, and Zhao Qian'er, all three grew up under the care of Li Bai. Although he would definitely stand on the side of Zhao Lingfei and little Qian'er, he certainly also hoped that the three of them could live in harmony... Forget it, just let the three of them live on their own.

Zhao Rong nodded and asked, "Did you get the wine?"

"I took it. I didn't see you when I got there, so I guess this is the wine you left behind."

Li Bai shook his head embarrassedly: "Why are you so polite?"

Zhao Rong smiled and didn't answer.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the little fox demon in red clothes next to him, and said generously: "Her name is Su Xiaoxiao, Uncle Xiaobai, can you help me send her back to Taiqing Mansion safely?"

"Your friend? No problem. Leave it to me. I'll get you back home safely before three o'clock tonight."

Bao Jian asked casually, and then nodded in affirmation and agreed without waiting for Zhao Rong to answer.

He glanced at a very pretty girl with fox eyes.

Zhao Rong smiled and swallowed the correct answer without saying it out loud.

It's a tacit understanding.

The little fox demon carried the small bookcase on his back and walked away from Zhao Rong. He took a step forward and said hello:

"Hello, just call me Xiao Xiao."

The sound is crisp.

At this time, Li Bai turned around with a smile, looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down, and said with a grin: "My last name is Li and my name is Bai. Just call me Uncle Xiaobai, just like this brat."

"Uncle Xiaobai." Su Xiaoxiao nodded, looking curiously at the man who Zhao Lang jokingly called a peerless master.

She stared at the sword in his arms, guessing that the sword must be very powerful, being held so preciously in the arms of a peerless master... This is what is written in the novels.

Li Bai looked calm, and then spoke to Zhao Rong, who looked calm:

"Then... take her away first. It's too late. Taiqing Mansion may impose a night curfew."

Zhao Rong nodded slightly.

Li Bai took Su Xiaoxiao away.

The two had just met and started chatting as they walked, and their voices reached Zhao Rong.

"Do you want your uncle to help you carry the bookcase?"

"No, no, I'm strong enough. Uncle Xiaobai, are you an expert?"

"Take out the 'ma' and you'll get the answer."

"You are a master... Well, it really is!" The little fox demon seemed to tilt his head and tried to repeat it again, then said happily with his eyes wide open.

"Will an expert deceive you?"

Zhao Rong: “…”

Looking at the backs of the two figures, one big and one small, he shook his head and smiled helplessly.

I didn't expect that we could get along so well, but it's true, Li Bai is sometimes like a child...

On the way away, the little fox demon looked back several times and stared at the lonely shadowy man behind her. She bit her lip and waved at him vigorously.

Somewhat reluctant.

Even if it's just a short separation.

Zhao Rong stood in the dim light and waved at her.

Prepare to watch them go away before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Li Bai suddenly looked back.

"Those two girls have heated up the food three times," he said. "I think there should be... a fourth time."

"Stinky boy." The man nodded seriously, "I hope you can eat it."

Zhao Rong was stunned.

Li Bai took Su Xiaoxiao and disappeared into the dark night beyond the reach of the lights of the bustling town.

The wet and disheveled young scholar stood still.

Watched him go.

Stood for a long time.

If it gets hot for the fourth time...it should be time for the person they are waiting for to go home.

Just when passers-by and merchants passing by the town thought that a new statue had been erected at the entrance.

The 'statue' moved.

He turned around, rubbed his face and walked away.

Tonight, I am alone again.

"Well, now it's finally quiet." Gui said, and then asked, "Where are you going?"

"Picking the moon."

As he finished speaking, a man looked south towards the Jiyue Mountain.
