Xie Chujun didn't speak for a long time until Xie Siyun asked again. He suddenly came back to his senses, but frowned slightly and said, "Siyun, what did you say just now? I didn't hear clearly."
Xie Siyun's expression froze, and he forced a smile and said, "Nothing."
I said it twice, but the other party said they didn't hear it clearly.
Either he deliberately didn't want to answer, or he was really distracted.
No matter which one it is, it is not what Xie Siyun wants to see.
She had only been brought back to the Xie family not long ago and had not yet gained the full trust of Xie Chujun and the old patriarch Xie. She was not even listed on the Xie family tree, and she still had a long way to go before she could gain a firm foothold.
Now, Xie Chujun is her only support, and she cannot make him annoyed or suspicious at this time.
Don't be impatient.
Don't be impatient.
Xie Siyun warned herself over and over again in her heart. When she looked up again, she had regained her delicate and weak appearance and said, "Father, I feel much better. We can leave anytime."
Xie Chujun twirled the corner of the quilt for her and said softly, "No rush."
"Although there's no distinction between day and night in the polar regions, the temperature is still lowest at night. Let's rest here for a night and continue our journey tomorrow."
Xie Siyun was unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she could only smile and agree, then slowly closed her eyes.
Little did she know that the moment she closed her eyes, the gentleness in the man's eyes faded away, replaced by a coldness as cold as polar ice and snow.
Xie Chujun withdrew his gaze, stood up and walked to the table.
The house fell into silence.
Xie Xihe hadn't had a good rest for a while. Now that he was quiet, he began to feel sleepy little by little.
He didn't force himself, glanced in the direction of Xie Xuan, and then closed his eyes.
Although she and Xie Xuan had worked together to figure out the approximate direction of Sheng Shijing and Duan Chengxian, the area of the polar ice sheet was quite large, and even with a direction they would not be able to find them immediately.
Not to mention that they also met the ancient martial artist Xie and his group at this moment.
Although we still don't know their purpose in coming here, it is unlikely that they are here for adventure or to enjoy the scenery, so we have to be careful.
Therefore, it is particularly important to conserve your energy before reuniting with Sheng Shijing.
Xie Lingyun had not spoken since Xie Xihe and his party arrived. Only at this moment did she raise her eyes and look at Xie Xihe, with a hint of doubt between her brows.
After thinking for a while, he nudged Xie Jilin beside him with his elbow.
Xie Jilin was drowsy and was immediately annoyed when he was bumped. He glared at Xie Lingyun unhappily and turned over with his back facing Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun was extremely angry, but she didn't dare to make any noise. She simply took out a silver needle from the small bag at her waist and stabbed it into Xie Jilin's back.
As the needle pierced his flesh, Xie Jilin's eyes widened instantly. He glanced towards Xie Lingyun and said angrily, "You..."
Xie Lingyun glanced at him fiercely and lowered her voice to a very low tone: "Shut up!"
Xie Jilin's face was filled with frustration, but he had no choice but to succumb to her tyranny. He imitated her and said in a muffled voice, "What are you doing?"
Xie Lingyun winked at him and said, "Those three people who just came in, and that girl, do you feel a little familiar?"
Xie Jilin couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, and immediately wanted to say no, he didn't know, but when his eyes swept across the half of the girl's face that was exposed, he suddenly stopped.
His eyebrows twisted little by little.
Xie Lingyun's heart moved: "Do you think so too?"
Xie Jilin: "I can't see clearly, I'm not sure, but now that you put it that way it seems a little bit like that."
Who does it look like?
Xie Jilin was thinking hard when suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind. He turned his head sharply and looked at Xie Lingyun: "Thank you..."
Another word, interrupted by Xie Lingyun again.
Xie Lingyun gave him a warning look.
Xie Jilin finally reacted and couldn't help but glance in the direction of Xie Chujun. He was relieved to see that he didn't notice them.
He was no longer sleepy, and straightened his expression and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Xie Lingyun frowned.
She actually hasn't thought about it yet.
If the other person is not who she thinks he is, then it’s fine.
But if so, it is worth pondering why the other party appears here.
Like Xie Xihe, Xie Lingyun didn't think that anyone would go to such a place specifically for sightseeing or fun. Since they came, there must be a reason for coming.
Could it be that she knew what they had done and came here specifically to expose them?
But how is this possible?
The ancient martial arts world has always had little contact with the outside world, and they only took action more than a month ago. How could the news reach her ears so quickly and even come here to intercept them?
Also, there was something wrong with Xie Chujun's attitude towards the girl. I don't know if he noticed something.
Xie Lingyun was puzzled.
Xie Jilin waited for a long time but Xie Lingyun didn't speak. He became impatient and said, "Why think so much? It's not certain yet. I'll go test it first."
First determine the situation before thinking about how to deal with it later.
This time Xie Lingyun did not stop him and let him stand up.
Xie Jilin walked directly in front of Xie Chujun, and said with a slightly dark face: "Third Uncle, what do you mean?"
Xie Chujun was still thinking about other things. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and said "hmm" in a light tone.
Xie Jilin said dissatisfiedly: "I know you don't like me and my third sister, and don't want to bring us out, but that is the family's decision, and we have no way to resist."
Xie Chujun looked at him calmly: "What do you want to say?"
Xie Jilin pointed at the Flame Stone that Xie Chujun was still holding, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction. "There are only five Flame Stones left. We have no objection to Seventh Sister using one due to her poor health, but what do you mean by giving the Flame Stone to a stranger? In your eyes, are we, your nephews and nieces, less valuable than an outsider?"
Xie Chujun smiled gently, raised his eyes casually and said, "I'm happy to."
These three words blocked all the words in Xie Jilin's mouth, and he looked at Xie Chujun with a suffocated face.
While secretly criticizing his uncle for being a big shot, he pointed at the flame stone in his hand and continued, "Then you can at least give me the flame stone he doesn't want now, right?!"
Xie Chujun: "What are you going to do?"
Xie Jilin: “…”
What else can we do? Keep warm, of course!
Xie Jilin was furious and said in a muffled voice, "The room is too cold. I'll release the energy in the flame stone and then set up a barrier outside the room. It should be able to keep the temperature for a while."
Xie Chujun's heart moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the girl huddled in the corner again.
This time he didn't ask any more questions, but threw the flame stone to Xie Jilin.
