As soon as they heard this voice, everyone's eyes were attracted.
I saw a pretty girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, with her hands clasped in front of her body, standing timidly in an open space not far away, with a light smile on her face.
This girl has thick and smooth long sea-blue hair, which is carefully tied into a braid behind her back, with a thin bang on her forehead. She wears a hair scarf on her head, decorated with many silver ornaments, and is dressed neatly and coolly.
She wore a tight-fitting dress with a light blue main color and light golden lines embroidered on the edges. She wore a short skirt on her lower body and a pair of mid-length boots on her feet, revealing half of her round and white thighs and calves above and below the knees.
What is more conspicuous is that there is a huge diamond-shaped azure gem hanging on her chest.
At first glance, she looks like a very energetic girl.
Tianming is not too fussy, he just feels that he has met too many new friends today, and none of them look simple.
Shao Yu was keenly aware of the specialness of this girl's exotic dress, and since she revealed the name of this exotic beast, he had some guesses in his mind.
Gu Xun looked at Xiao Li, with a flash of... pity in his eyes.
This pity is not directed at Xiao Li himself.
No matter how young Gu Xun looks, he is now nearly forty years old, and his youngest daughter is over ten years old. Compared with many years ago, his mentality towards certain things has changed a lot.
For example, right now, he neither admires the beauty of the girl nor daydreams about the difference between two and three. Instead, he laments that it would be great if Ayan could be as sunny as this girl.
Over the years, Ayan's physical condition has been completely controlled by him. Although he has not been completely cured, it has no longer worsened. However, he has developed a quiet temperament and is no longer as naughty as he was when he was young.
Of course there is nothing wrong with being quiet, but that kid Ayan is smart, has a lot of thoughts, and doesn't like to talk. Over time, being quiet becomes too much.
It's so quiet that it's... a bit gloomy.
As an old father who watches his children grow up little by little, Gu Xun thinks it would be better for her to be more sunny and cheerful.
Just like the girl in front of me, even though she is just standing there cutely, people can still feel her cheerfulness and self-improvement.
When Xiao Xiu Xiu saw Xiao Li appear, he struggled even more fiercely.
Of course, it’s useless.
Xiao Li still couldn't see it. He raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Xiu Xiu and asked, "Um...can you let it go? Xiao Xiu Xiu has no ill intentions towards you."
Gu Xun smiled and let go of it.
The little guy immediately turned over dexterously in the air, landed smoothly on all fours, and then immediately ran towards Xiao Li.
Xiao Li quickly knelt down and picked up the little Xiu Xiu who rushed towards him. He stroked the down on the other person’s back with one hand and his eyes were full of love.
Seeing this scene, Shao Yu deliberately elbowed Tian Ming next to him with a condescending expression, and joked, "It seems that he is the real master."
At this time, Gu Xun crossed his arms and asked Xiao Li with a smile on his face, "So, can you tell me whether this little guy is a male or a female?"
The indifferent smile on Xiao Li's face suddenly froze, and she felt a little stuck.
What's wrong with the people of the Central Plains now? What should we do if we don't obsess over such problems?
Seeing that she didn't answer, Gu Xun asked again, "Is it true that there are no male or female creatures like Pixiu?"
Xiao Li subconsciously replied, "No, of course!"
"So?" Gu Xun tilted his head and asked with an even wider smile.
Xiao Li's face was a little red and he responded vaguely, "This is... Xiao Xiu Xiu's matter. I don't know, and it's hard to say."
At this time, Tianming jumped out to break the awkward situation and said boldly:
"Oh, brother Gu Xun, why are you so confused about the father and mother? We should first ask what the girl's name is."
Hearing what Tianming called him, Gu Xun couldn't help but rolled his eyes and responded angrily:
"Your father and I are of the same generation, but you are so different from me when you call me eldest brother!"
When Tian Ming heard this, he immediately turned his attention away from Xiao Li. He jumped in front of Gu Xun and asked a series of questions impatiently:
"Do you know my dad?"
"Did he ask you to come here to find me?"
"Where is he?"
"And where is my mother?"
Shaoyu also pricked up his ears at this time.
From what Gu Xun meant, could it be that Tianming, a borderland prodigal, didn’t have a simple background?
Looking at Tianming, whose eyes were full of eagerness and whose hope and longing were almost beyond words, Gu Xun's eyes once again flashed with a hint of trance, and he was silent for a moment.
"..."
In the completely different moods of the two people, Gu Xun replied, "Your parents... I haven't seen them for many years."
"Ah..." Tianming sighed in disappointment, and anyone who saw the loss in his eyes couldn't help but feel distressed.
In any case, this child has suffered a lot in his short life.
Maybe in this era, he wouldn't be ranked at all if he were to compare badly, but there are some things that should never be compared to the lower limit...
After being disappointed, Tianming was still an optimistic young man after all. He quickly recovered his mood and asked Gu Xundao again, "Then... can you tell me who they are?"
"Also, can you tell me something about them?"
"What kind of people are they?"
Gu Xun sighed, shook his head slowly and said, "You need to explore and investigate these in person, others... are not suitable to help you."
"All I can tell you is, don't resent them."
"Maybe they owe you something, but remember, they don't love you."
"Oh..." Tianming forced a smile, responded, and immediately lowered his head, his whole breath feeling low.
Gu Xun shook his head secretly, but didn't intend to tell him too much.
Let the child explore the matters concerning Jing Ke and Gongsun Li on his own.
He... is really not convenient to explain.
Is it possible to be honest and tell this child that he is the person who killed his father and let him take revenge?
Gu Xun doesn't care if Tianming seeks revenge on him.
They say it’s time to retaliate, but that’s how life is. To persuade the other party to let go of their hatred, or to eradicate the roots now and kill the child, Gu Xun is unwilling to do it.
However, for an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, the revenge of killing his father is a bit too heavy, and there is no need for him to bear it now.
Let’s talk about the future.
Maybe... the reason why Gai Nie in the plot doesn't confess everything to Tian Ming is because he has this idea?
Gu Xun casually made some unnecessary guesses, then came back to his senses, turned to Xiao Li, changed the subject and asked:
"Little girl, what's your name?"
Xiao Li hesitated for a moment and then replied, "My name is Xiao Li."
"It seems, girl, you are not from the Central Plains." Gu Xun said in a positive tone.
As soon as Tianming heard this sentence, he immediately came back to his senses, raised his head and said, "Are you the one... from Loulan that Old Man Lu said?"
