Chapter 272 Picking Up Someone
It was several days later that Nan Xiao and his companions arrived in Anyang City.
Before they got close, they saw a young man standing in the wind on the city wall, waving at them from afar.
Nan Xiao asked Su Xun, "Fourth Senior Brother, did you tell Senior Brother Zhuo that we'll be arriving today?"
Su Xun denied: "Why would I tell him this?"
"I just told him we were coming and asked if he was still there."
Several people showed their ID cards and entered the city smoothly.
In addition to Zhuo Hua, there were several other disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect who came forward to greet them.
“Big Brother…”
The young disciples saw Jiang Xia’s bright smile and greeted the other people.
"I got the news that the brothers were coming early this morning. I've been looking forward to it for a few days, and finally they are here."
Jiang Xia nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. How is Elder Li doing recently?"
The young disciple said, "Elder Li is still the same, but because the demons have been active recently..." He paused slightly and whispered, "The elder has been a little irritable lately. The disciples have been scolded and dared not approach him."
He laughed as he spoke: "But it's okay now. Since you, big brother, are here, you can't scold us anymore. Hehe..."
Jiang Xia: “…”
Jiang Xia and the younger disciples walked in front, chatting, while Su Xun, Nan Xiao, Lu Huai, and Zhuo Hua followed behind, chatting idly.
Su Xun: "I didn't expect you to be so kind and come to pick us up."
Zhuo Hua rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "You're dreaming. My senior sister knew Junior Sister Nan was coming and asked me to come pick her up. It has nothing to do with you."
"But you guys are so slow. I've been standing there for three days before you even got here." He held up his hand and complained, "Look, I've sunburned it all."
Su Xun also rolled his eyes.
Nan Xiao interrupted, "Senior Sister Jian, did you see the message I sent?"
Zhuo Hua: "No, my senior sister has been so busy since she came here that she doesn't have time to read the news. I received the message from Su Xun and told her."
He pushed Su Xun aside with one hand, squeezed in, and stood beside Nan Xiao, flattering her, "It's a good thing you're here, Junior Sister Nan. You can help my Senior Sister share some of the burden of refining the pill."
Su Xun pushed him away: "Go, don't arrange anything for my junior sister."
“…”
The few of them were familiar with each other, so Zhuo Hua didn't care.
They talked as they walked, and in the blink of an eye, they stopped outside a yard.
The younger disciples brought him over and said, "Big Brother, Elder Li is currently discussing matters with other sect elders, so he might be late. This courtyard has been empty for a while, so I'll have to trouble you to clean it up. If there's nothing else, we'll get on with it first."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
The young disciples left.
Zhuo Hua patted Nan Xiao's shoulder and pointed to the courtyard not far away in front of her puzzled eyes and said, "Junior Sister Nan, we'll stay over there for the time being. When you're done, be sure to come find us."
Nan Xiao: "Senior Sister Jian is so busy?"
"Isn't it? It was fine when we first arrived, but recently more and more monks, disciples, and civilians have been injured. My senior sister hasn't had a rest for a long time."
Nan Xiao nodded: "Okay, I'll come find you after I finish cleaning up here."
"Then thank you in advance, Junior Sister Nan. You go ahead and do your work. I'll be going back first."
Afraid that she would go back on her word, Zhuo Hua slipped away after saying this.
The yard had been empty for a while, so there was some dust and fallen leaves. A few cleaning talismans were applied, and it was cleaned up in no time.
Nan Xiao randomly chose a room and placed daily necessities in the space, so he could take them out whenever he needed them, without any special arrangement.
After saying hello to Jiang Xia, he started walking towards the yard that Zhuo Hua pointed to.
There were many people coming and going in the yard, and many of them noticed Nan Xiao, a stranger.
Someone stopped Nan Xiao, looking at him with scrutiny and vigilance: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'm Nan Xiao, a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, and I'm here to see Senior Sister Jian." Nan Xiao showed his ID card and explained his purpose.
The other party's attitude immediately improved.
"So you are a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect. Miss Jian is in the innermost room. I will take you there."
Nan Xiao waved her hand: "No, go ahead and do your work, I can find it."
This courtyard was bigger than Nan Xiao had imagined. When she found Jian Mo, she was still concentrating on refining the elixir. Zhuo Hua and a few young disciples were sorting spiritual plants and elixirs beside her.
Zhuo Hua didn't expect Nan Xiao to come over so soon. He nodded at her as a greeting.
Nan Xiao did not disturb Jian Mo, but learned what kind of elixir Jian Mo was refining from the spiritual plants that Zhuo Hua and the others had sorted and classified. He then took out his own alchemy furnace to help.
Time flies and it's already night.
Once they started working, they never stopped. As soon as the pills were refined, someone would deliver them.
After Jian Mo finished the last batch of pills, she held Nan Xiao's hand affectionately.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you for your hard work today."
"Senior Sister Jian is the one who's worked so hard. She's lost weight." Nan Xiao remembered something and continued, "A few days ago, I received news from Second Senior Sister. She and Senior Brother Zhou have emerged from the secret realm and may come here soon."
Jian Mo's eyes lit up with joy: "That's great, I miss Senior Sister Qiao and Senior Brother a little bit. I wonder if they made any substantial progress on this trip."
"Thinking about my senior brother's personality, it's a bit risky."
“…………”
The two of them gathered together and chatted with everyone around them. Zhuo Hua watched anxiously from the side. When did his senior sister become so talkative? Why didn't she talk to him?
well! ! !
“Senior Sister…”
The two were chatting happily when they heard someone calling outside the house.
Nan Xiao turned around at the sound, only to see Lu Huai standing quietly outside, his umbrella in hand, as a drizzle of rain fell. Fine raindrops splashed against the umbrella, staining his hair and clothes with a touch of moisture, like a smudged ink painting.
"Why are you here?" Nan Xiao walked forward and pulled the person in. "Stand inside."
"Strange, when did it start raining?"
Zhuo Hua's eyelids twitched, and his tone was filled with a hint of resentment: "It's been raining for half an hour."
Jian Mo slapped Zhuo Hua on the back of the head.
"Senior sister, why did you hit me?"
Jian Mo glanced at him, then turned to Nan Xiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, you've been traveling for such a long time and you're tired all afternoon. Go back and rest early."
"OK."
He wasn't really tired, but it was really late, so Nan Xiao agreed without hesitation.
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai walked side by side on the stone road.
"I was a little worried because you haven't come back for a long time, so I came to check on you."
Nan Xiao was stunned. Was this an answer to her previous question?
She looked up at him for a while, and Lu Huai also stopped following her footsteps.
I don’t know if it was affected by the picture.
I always feel that Lu Huai during this period is highly similar to Lu Huai in the picture.
On second thought, how could they not look alike if they were the same person?
She was indeed possessed by a demon.
Lu Huai: "What's wrong?"
Nan Xiaoxiao said: "I was wondering why you suddenly changed your words and called me Senior Sister. It was not easy to coax you to call me that before."
