Ye Lan was not surprised that Xiao Yunting recognized him, but he did not explain much.
The group returned to the villa just in time for dinner.
After dinner, Xiao Yunting saw Xiao Douya naturally wanted to follow Ye Lan into the house, and he couldn't help but pause.
"Hmm?" Ye Lan stopped for some unknown reason and turned back to look at him.
Xiao Yunting glanced at Xiao Douya and asked bluntly, "He lives with you?"
"Yeah." Ye Lan nodded slightly and didn't feel anything wrong. After all, such a young child was no different from the disciples in the sect.
But Xiao Yunting didn't think so.
He turned and walked a few steps closer, grabbed the little bean sprout with his big hand, and said, "He sleeps with me."
Then he turned and left.
Ye Lan: “???”
Isn't he a mysophobia?
But it was better to have someone to help watch over him than to do all the hard work by herself, so she added to the backs of the two figures, one big and one small, "It's just right, you teach him to read."
So five minutes later, Xiao Yunting looked at the trouble he had brought back, still wiping the disinfectant tissue on his hands, and thought of the girl's instructions, and felt a headache for the first time in his life.
"Where's the book?"
Compared to the girl, he had even less experience in taking care of children, so he still had a sullen face when asking questions, and threw out two words coldly. It looked like he was going to kill rather than teach.
If it were an ordinary child, he would have been scared and burst into tears.
But the little bean sprout on the sofa just shrank into the corner more vigilantly, his wolf-like eyes still searching around the house for any weapons that could be used to attack.
A few seconds later, he suddenly pounced on the coffee table, grabbed a glass ashtray and smashed it on Xiao Yunting's head. The speed and force were so fast that one could almost foresee the bloody scene that would follow.
Unfortunately, the next second——
“Hmm!”
The boy's thin neck was pinched again.
Xiao Yunting had an indifferent expression. He opened and closed his hands, and immediately one could hear the fragile throat bones making a creaking sound.
The child in his arms immediately lost his strength, threw away the ashtray, and began to helplessly pull at his hands in an attempt to save himself.
However, after pinching for a while, Xiao Yunting found something wrong.
Given the strength of his grip, an ordinary child would have died long ago.
But the boy in front of him, who looked thin and malnourished, still had the strength to struggle, and the strong beating of the aorta where his thumb pressed showed that he still had strong vitality.
"Your body has been modified by drugs." He concluded coldly, then let go of his hand and threw the person onto the sofa.
Little Bean Sprout: “…”
Why does this scene sound so familiar?!
Xiao Yunting had no intention of arguing with him. Instead, he felt relieved to see that he was able to withstand the beating. He sat on the single sofa and said coldly, "Bring out the book."
Be prepared to teach your children.
The wolf cub who originally wanted to resist realized that he was inferior to his opponent in skills during the confrontation. After being ashamed and angry for a few seconds, he wisely took out the books he bought in the commercial building that morning.
Xiao Yunting lowered his eyes and glanced at the cover, "..."
Who can tell him that the textbooks for children nowadays don’t teach them numbers and spelling, but the “Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing”?!
Although the name sounded ridiculous, it was the girl's request after all, so he picked it up and opened the pages.
After turning two pages, I discovered the secrets inside.
Perhaps the original pages of the ancient book were already damaged, so when the translator rebound it, he just randomly gave the secret book a very childish name, but the content inside is indeed about the practice method of palm wind.
After thinking about it, he knew where the book came from, so he asked the security team outside the door to find the stall owner, and he used his lunch break to explain the basics of internal strength to Xiao Douya.
Fortunately, Xiao Douya was very talented and was able to quickly understand the contents of the book from his cold words. Before the auction started in the afternoon, when Ye Lan saw the child again, he could already clearly feel the change in the other's aura.
"Good practice." She gave a realistic evaluation and also affirmed the man's teaching results.
Xiao Yunting walked out side by side with her, saying as they walked, "You want him to protect himself."
This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence.
Even when they slept in the same bed together last night, the girl was protecting the other.
"After all, he is still useful." Ye Lan shrugged and spoke bluntly without caring that the person involved was still present.
Xiao Yunting declined to comment on this.
If they had just met, he might have been deceived by the girl's cold appearance, but after getting along for a long time, he also found that the girl was actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and was not someone who would do anything to achieve her goals.
At the same time, he is also very loyal and protective.
Otherwise, if you are just using a child to find someone, there is no need to let him teach the other person the basic skills to protect himself.
Xiao Douya seemed not to understand and just followed the two of them in silence from beginning to end.
X's first auction will be held at 2:30, on the central island.
The car drove across the mechanical suspension bridge and entered a huge city wall. Only after passing the gate could we glimpse the strangely shaped black buildings inside.
Ye Lan took a closer look and found that the black exterior wall was covered with cables.
"There's plenty of sunlight here, and we use solar energy to generate electricity year-round, including for the operation of machinery and equipment." Captain Li, the security team leader driving ahead, noticed her gaze and explained subconsciously, "It's said that this was once a private island owned by a cyber hacker. Later, he went to the desert to chase celebrities and left it to his subordinates to manage, and it developed into the mysterious island it is today."
"Haha, Miss, are you curious about which desert star this is?" Without the girl's prompting, the security captain continued, "I wonder if you've ever been to the oasis in the Sand Country region? There's a country called Green Dream. It suddenly emerged over a decade ago, and now its influence has surpassed the two neighboring countries, making it a popular holiday destination for many super-rich. I heard that the owner of this island followed the King of Green Dream and is currently working there as a screwdriver."
As he spoke, he laughed cheerfully, but soon he found that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange. Suddenly realizing something, he turned his sight in the rearview mirror and saw the cold-faced boss sitting on the sofa on the other side. His legs suddenly became weak and his back felt cold.
Oh no, the boss must think he is too noisy!
Thinking of this, the security captain's cold sweat ran down his forehead.
At this time, Xiao Yunting did not want to punish his subordinates, but was surprised that the security captain, who had been with him for many years and had always been taciturn, was so familiar with the girl after just half a month of not seeing her. He even felt that he regarded her as half his master.
Previously, they only had a general understanding of what was happening in Jiangcheng over the phone, but now that they had close contact, they realized how much influence Ye Lan had had on them.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became awkward.
As for the other two, they were not very active.
Little Douya was like a starving ghost. He got on the bus with food stuffed in his hands and mouth, and kept eating like a little hamster.
But Ye Lan stared at the scenery passing by outside the window, and his thoughts drifted away.
Green Dream Country...
