Recognition
Shangguan Qing felt a little aggrieved.
He had been concerned about Song Liubai's life and death for so many years, but as soon as they met, he drew a clear line with Hengyuan Sect.
"Brother, why?"
Song Liubai didn't say anything, but just fixed his eyes on Shangguan Qing. The naive look of his youth had disappeared. In just over ten years, his memories of Hengyuan Sect seemed like a lifetime ago.
"Senior brother?"
Shangguan Qing tilted his head slightly, seemingly oblivious to the stillness in the air. He continued, "Where have you been all these years, Senior Brother? The old Sect Master has been looking for you everywhere. We're all very worried about you. And are these people your responsibility?"
The friend he was referring to was Liu Er.
Song Liubai's original plan did not take Hengyuan Sect into account at all, so the famous Yinghua Pavilion and Hengyuan Sect had no idea that the outside world had turned upside down.
Being pointed at, Liu Er's legs trembled unconsciously under his clothes. He thought to himself, "I'm just a subordinate. How dare I become the Pavilion Master's friend or brother?"
Xiao Cha, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. However, before he could laugh for long, Shangguan Qing turned the topic to himself.
Shangguan Qing raised his hand and pointed, "And Senior Brother, what's going on with him?"
"This kid looks like he's only seventeen or eighteen years old, you..."
"Although Brother Xiao Cha has been gone for a long time, isn't it unfair to this child to find someone to fill the void in his life?"
Obviously, Shangguan Qing's powerful brain circuit successfully distorted the relationship between the two.
To this.
Song Liubai's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Xiao Cha turned his head and leaned towards Song Liubai. He couldn't help but smile as he continued with Shangguan Qing's words, "Yes, it seems unfair to me that the Pavilion Master can't forget Brother Xiao Cha."
After Xiao Cha finished speaking, he felt something rubbing against the bed under the table, causing him to feel a little itchy.
Xiao Cha knew full well that the culprit of all this was the innocent-looking 'Song Liubai' beside him, and the corners of his lip pursed slightly more tightly.
Song Liubai chuckled a few times and increased the strength of his footsteps, but on the surface he said to Shangguan Qing in a nonchalant manner, "I thought you would become more intelligent as you get older."
Shangguan Qing blinked, as if he didn't understand. "What does intelligence have to do with age, Senior Brother?"
Xiao Cha rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and calmly pushed the person under the table away a little. Then he made up his mind and said solemnly: "Am I very similar to Brother Xiao Cha?"
"Yeah." Shangguan Qing nodded blankly, then continued, "He also calls me Little Immortal Lord. Did your senior brother teach you that?"
Because he was a replacement, he was locked up by Song Liubai and had to learn the former's posture and tone... It was so pitiful.
Shangguan Qing thought about it, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Song Liubai became a little strange.
Song Liubai raised his eyebrows at this, and realized belatedly that he seemed not to be a decent person in Shangguan Qing's heart.
Xiao Cha always has extra patience with slow-witted people.
I saw him leaning his elbows on the table, smiling, his eyebrows as charming as the spring breeze playing in the water.
"Who am I?"
"Take a closer look."
Shangguan Qing obediently narrowed his eyes and looked at him seriously, "You?"
Xiao Cha nodded gently, waiting for his next words.
Shangguan Qing reacted and stood up instantly. The stool behind him was lifted up and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
"Brother Xiaocha!"
"Yeah, I'm here."
Xiao Cha smiled with her eyes curved, and she stood up and opened her arms towards him.
The next second, he held Shangguan Qing in his arms. Shangguan Qing had grown a lot, and Xiao Cha felt that he could hardly hold him. However, he could still smell the breath of the little boy in his nostrils.
'Song Liubai' was sitting behind the two of them. He originally saw the two of them hugging each other. His expression was fine at first, but as time passed, he saw that Shangguan Qing had no intention of letting go, and his expression became darker and darker.
The last hug was when Song Liubai stiffened his lips and forcibly tore open a gap, then silently pulled Xiao Cha into the area around him.
Shangguan Qing's eyes were red and red, and he spoke with some excitement, "Brother Xiao Cha, I knew you wouldn't die so easily."
Xiao Cha sighed slightly, not for anything else, but simply for the joy of reuniting. Seeing Shangguan Qing's tears welling up, she quickly comforted him, "Don't cry, I'm not leaving. You'll see me many more times in the future."
Unexpectedly, it would have been better if she hadn't been comforted. After being comforted, Shangguan Qing couldn't suppress her emotions and burst into tears. She said in a choked voice: "Wu... I just... I really thought..."
Bitterness welled up in Shangguan Qing's heart, making him speechless. He turned his head away, wiped his tears, exhaled heavily, and said, "Well, I'm glad you're back."
In the corner, Liu Er looked left and right, and his heart became uneasy again.
Shangguan Qing, a senior disciple of Hengyuan Sect, is a fellow disciple of their own Pavilion Master. The young man's life experience is also very relevant to the two of them, which made Shangguan Qing unable to hold back his tears. If this matter were to be spread out, it would surely cause a stir in the martial arts world.
Liu Er couldn't help but shake off the goose bumps on his body.
*
Three days passed quickly.
During this period, Xiao Cha had been staying by Song Liubai's side. Even though Song Liubai looked like he was about to lose his demonic power, Xiao Cha did not feel at ease because of the undercurrents within Liuli Sect. As the day of the banquet was approaching, he could not help but worry about whether Song Liubai, who had been possessed by the demon, could safely escape this blatant trap.
Xiao Cha was thinking about this and couldn't help but be distracted, his eyes unconsciously staring at 'Song Liubai'.
Song Liubai was quietly listening to Liu Er's dictation of the secret message on the letter, with his eyes half-closed, and in his hands he was tirelessly twisting thin bamboo into strange little toys.
A secret message was sent.
Liu Er swallowed his saliva, moved his eyes away from the secret report in his hand, and silently glanced at the crumpled object in the Pavilion Master's hand. He thought it was a bamboo ball, but strangely, the bamboo ball had four sharp thorns on it, which looked extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Er quickly used his own way of thinking to subconsciously cover up for Song Liubai, muttering quietly: "As expected of the Pavilion Master, the bamboo ball even has thorns."
“…”
Song Liubai paused his movements, glanced at Liu Er behind him, and then looked straight at the thing called bamboo ball in his hand.
Song Liubai pursed his lips, feeling a rare shyness in his heart, and put the things away.
However, at this moment, a pair of bony fingers skillfully took the ball from Song Liubai's hand.
Xiao Cha took a few glances and then praised: "This puppy is well made, very cute."
Puppy, you said this ball with thorns is a dog.
Liu Er blinked in disbelief, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Xiao Cha put the bamboo weaving into his waist pocket, leaned against the table beside him, raised an eyebrow at Song Liubai and said with a smile: "Yes, I accept it, but your hands should not be used only for these trivial matters."
"Tell me, what are your plans for the Hongmen Banquet of Liuli Sect?" Xiao Cha said as he took Song Liubai's hand.
The two hands intertwined, and the tender skin of the younger man touched the palm of his hand.
"Just trust me, A-Cha."
'Song Liubai' looked up at the young man, his hands resting on his sides, as if he was classifying him as part of his own territory.
Don’t say it again.
Xiao Cha didn't intend to ask further. She just patted his hand with a look of comfort in her eyes and said, "Forget it. You have your own plans. You won't listen to me if I say more."
Song Liubai tilted his head slightly. If he had a tail, it would definitely be swaying back and forth. "Acha, talk more. I'm listening."
Xiao Cha let go of his hand and gently pinched his cheek instead, "But we agreed that saving your life comes first no matter what."
This intimate action made Song Liubai lose his mind.
