"You're just standing outside, why don't you invite me to come in and sit down? Are you still afraid that I'll eat you?"
The people living around are Taoist disciples from the Taoist Academy. Some people are already poking their heads here and pointing. Attention is everywhere to the Taoist Academy's double-ranked high-cold fairy. Every little strange thing will become the news of the Taoist Academy tomorrow.
Zhao Xintong hurriedly opened the courtyard door. She didn't know why she didn't refuse, or it was useless to refuse. This person was used to being domineering, and he only listened to others' advice?
The small courtyard is very tidy, with almost no decorations that a woman should have in a small dwelling. There is only a chayote plant planted in the corner of the courtyard, which is the only green embellishment in the courtyard. In this regard, she probably followed the Taoist aesthetics.
Simple and plain.
However, everyone's personality and hobbies are actually different.
Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on the stone bench and took out a treasure gourd. Just by looking at the appearance of the gourd, she knew where it came from.
"Your aunt has something to do and can't come, so she asked me to make this trip and bring you some clothes."
Zhao Xintong stood aside. She wanted to sit down, but for some reason she couldn't. She couldn't force herself to face this evil man's extremely aggressive gaze.
Seeing her standing there stupefied and somewhat at a loss, Hou Zi felt funny in her heart.
"The guests are here and you don't know how to entertain them? Go and get me something to eat and drink. I have a headache flying all the way!"
Finally, she had something to do. Zhao Xintong was hurriedly preparing food in the kitchen. In fact, she had nothing to prepare. She had passed the stage of ineditation and was not particular about food. She was not interested in it at all, so she could only eat everything. When I came out, fortunately, the villain just frowned, not being picky.
I drank a glass of wine happily and drank the light food on the stone table. After thinking for a while, I took out a few treasure gourds and poured them on the ground. Immediately, the pearls and jewels gave off an intoxicating light under the setting sun.
There are everything, no less than a hundred pieces, all of which are rare and rare items on the market, and they are basically treasures that can only be used in the Tongtian realm. Just looking at the style, you can tell that these items probably do not come from the same family, but...
"I'm too lazy to prepare gifts, but after all these years, it's hard to come empty-handed. I always have to express my gratitude by choosing my own!"
Zhao Xintong stood there, not daring to refuse, but unwilling to make a choice, and heard the evil voice in her ears,
"Why, you don't dare to pick a fight? Don't worry, the original owner is dead and no one will come after you!"
Seeing that the woman was very resistant and did not dare to object vocally, so she could only silently rummage through the pile of treasures, Hou Zi sighed in her heart.
This woman still hasn't been able to get over the past, even though Taoist Master Xi has done a thorough job. Not only did he teach her through words and deeds, he also found two playmates for her, and even spent a lot of money to send her to the Taoist Academy, just hoping that she could Change her character through such Taoist life.
However, some things are destined by nature and cannot be changed by humans.
He is not stupid. When he heard what the Taoist said in Liuyang City and hoped that he would come to the Taoist Academy to see this woman, he knew that there might be a deep meaning in it.
Zhao Xintong's situation, as a veteran Tongxuan monk, how could Taoist Xi not know about it after spending time together day and night?
It was precisely because he couldn't stand it that he had no choice but to turn to him for help; otherwise, if everything was normal, Zhao Xintong, like other young people, would become one of the countless practitioners born for the Tao, forget the past, and become normal. In his own life, why let him uncover this old scar?
However, Taoist Xi's words were unclear and he had too many sharp attacks, so he could only verify it himself, turning a simple visit to relatives into an investigation.
He had been in Hongye City for several days. The reason why he didn't show up was to learn about Zhao Xintong's Taoist life and practice in private. He didn't come to have real contact until he had some understanding.
It has to be said that things like this are also a challenge for him, because this is a problem that cannot be solved with a sword.
Zhao Xintong, there is something wrong deep in the soul.
He can't tell what the problem is right now. It seems a little twisted? Paranoid? Masochistic?
The encounter she had in Baiyang Forest must be one of the causes of her psychological changes, but I'm afraid it's not the whole story; it should be possible to go back further, starting from when all the monks in her family were slaughtered.
But no matter which one it is, he is the unshirkable initiator.
If it were another person, he could just kill her with one sword, but he couldn't do it to this girl, and he shouldn't do it.
He decided to challenge his limits and see if he could change anything without using a sword; his intuition told him that if he cared for this woman blindly like a real elder and relative, the effect would be very limited.
I've been caring about it for twenty years, but still haven't succeeded?
In this regard, he could not do better than Taoist Xi, so he could only do the opposite and still use the same ferocious look she had when she was a little girl.
He didn't know if it would work, but he had to try.
His food was tasteless, and Zhao Xintong's food was also boring. When they first met, this girl didn't say a word, even when she asked and scolded him angrily.
This made Hou Zi feel a little frustrated. He had no choice but to continue.
"This courtyard is nice. I see there is still an empty room? I just need a place to retreat..."
This kind of undue request was just used by Hou Zi to test the limit of Zhao Xintong's patience. He very much hoped that she would angrily retort and make a fuss, so that he could understand more about her character and temper.
However, the worst happened. Zhao Xintong was obviously reluctant. He swallowed the words several times but swallowed them back. In the end, he turned around and cleaned up the room without saying a word.
He is tired and stubborn, now he is in trouble.
...Hou Zi moved into Zhao Xintong's small courtyard as a matter of course. He considered himself to be barely a relative of hers, and there was nothing inappropriate about it.
The two of them didn't say much more and practiced their own practices, but only they knew what results they could achieve.
Hou Zi was very ambitious and entered the soul realm as usual during evening classes. Recently, his main focus has been on this.
Jian San appeared in front of him as usual, and all the other souls in the area were wiped out by him, in order to have an undisturbed space for the battle with Jian San.
The two groups of sword energy were fighting in one place. It was no longer just a simple exchange of swords, nor a simple exchange of flying swords, but all of them were blended together.
Holding a sword, flying a sword, or using a body sword are indistinguishable from each other, thus giving rise to countless changes.
Find the murderous intention in the changes, and make the final decision in the murderous intention.
If he could barely hold on for ten breaths at most, he would be torn to pieces by Jian San's violence.
But he was not discouraged. Jian San was obviously proficient in the Jiu Zi Jue, but he was just barely able to master the Qian Zi Jue, and was still very green in the formation of characters. This situation was already pretty good.
There will always be a day when he will fight back, he believes in himself.
