It's not like cats and dogs, they will come out if you put some food in them.
...
"Meng Jixi, it's time for you to go back."
"I'll explain it to you later."
Xiao Xiao issued an "expulsion order".
What happens next will always be a little inconvenient if Meng Jixi is present.
"I refuse to answer."
Meng Jixi blurted out, "Master Xiao."
His eyes were burning, "That person with evil intentions...isn't a human being, is he?"
He has known Master Xiao for a long time.
What's more, the Chi brothers and sisters have known Master Xiao for a longer time.
From them, he also learned a lot of information about Master Xiao.
Even though he never believed in some things, he was a firm materialist.
However, he is not a stubborn and stubborn person.
He will take the facts put before him seriously.
…
Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi looked at each other for a while, then stepped up and walked past Meng Jixi.
Meng Jixi:?
"Master Xiao?"
"Find a quiet place."
Xiao Xiao's words made Meng Jixi's eyes light up.
He reached Master Xiao in a few strides and said, "Master Xiao, I am familiar with this place."
"I know a quiet place."
"follow me."
…
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, took another step when Meng Jixi looked over, and followed him.
"Gu carving."
He whispered in his mind, "Go help the ghost owl."
"Jie~"
The dark shadow above his head quickly disappeared, and then the bright sunlight shone down, making Xiao Xiao squint his eyes slightly.
…
There is a small park not far from the school.
It was noon at this time, there were almost no people in the park, and it was quite quiet.
Meng Jixi turned left and right on a familiar road and came to a bamboo forest.
He didn't stop until he reached the depths of the bamboo forest before he stopped.
"Is it quiet here?"
He looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked around. The tall and slender bamboos were covered with lush green leaves, which were intertwined and had the effect of blocking out the sky and the sun.
Faint sunlight falls in the open space among the bamboo forests.
Half of the eyes are bright and half are dark.
The refreshing fragrance of bamboo lingers around the nose and penetrates into one's limbs and bones, making one feel intoxicated and refreshed at the same time.
"Um."
It is indeed a quiet place.
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Meng Jixi waited for a while, but saw that Master Xiao had nothing to say, so he couldn't help but tentatively asked: "Master Xiao... what should we do next?"
"you-"
"wait."
Xiao Xiao was walking leisurely among the bamboo forest, and accidentally reached out to rub the smooth bamboo trunk.
He has always liked bamboo.
Although there is not much space in the yard, there is probably room to plant a clump of bamboo near the wall?
The bamboo leaves sticking out of the wall are quite interesting.
…
"wait?"
Meng Jixi murmured and repeated.
Although he didn't understand what they were waiting for, he became quiet and didn't ask any more questions.
Even if he doesn't know now, he should know what Master Xiao is waiting for later.
As he said before, he is in no hurry.
Since Master Xiao is willing to let him follow, he will always know the answer he wants today.
…
Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped.
Meng Jixi almost bumped into him without noticing.
He staggered back two steps, raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao's back in confusion, "Master Xiao?"
"coming."
coming?
Meng Jixi was stunned for a moment, and then his expression tightened. Is this the guy that Master Xiao said he was waiting for at the beginning?
He opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction of Xiao Xiao's gaze.
In the air?
A breeze blew by, and the bamboo leaves made a rustling sound.
He could hear his breathing clearly.
Is he a guy who can fly?
…
However, Meng Jixi opened his eyes wide and squinted again. He repeated this process several times until tears came out, but he still didn't see anything.
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao, who looked calm, "Xiao-"
"Huh~"
A strong gust of wind blew, and without warning, he took several steps back. "Bang~", his back hit a bamboo behind him.
His expression was distorted for a moment.
However, the retreating body finally stopped.
He was surprised at how strong the wind was.
Didn't you say it would be windy today?
Ah, Master Xiao!
He hurriedly raised his eyes. He thought that since he was so embarrassed by this inexplicable strong wind, Master Xiao, who was thinner than him, should be even more "miserable".
However, the next second, he was stunned.
He saw Master Xiao who was still in the same place without any change.
The wind is howling, and the clothes are hunting.
There was no trace of tension in Master Xiao's back, but he was as at ease as ever, showing a sense of leisure as if the breeze was blowing on his face.
He held onto the bamboo to steady himself, grinning slightly with a smile on his face.
Why does Master Xiao need him to worry about?
Even though he has known Master Xiao for a long time, he has never seen through this mysterious Master Xiao.
The other person is in... another world that he has never touched before.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at the monster struggling in the Gu Diao's claws, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Jie Jie~"
The Gu Eagle raised its head to the sky and screamed, exerting force in its claws. The struggling monster let out a miserable howl, like the harsh sound of fingernails scratching glass, and then it became quiet.
The long black hair hangs down, blocking its appearance.
"Qua~"
The ghost owl flew to Xiao Xiao's side, and the two dots of will-o'-the-wisps in its eye sockets flickered automatically, making people feel that this monster was in a good mood.
"Good job, Ghost Owl."
Xiao Xiao did not hesitate to praise him, "Come back."
"Quack~"
The low, hoarse voice still echoed in my ears, but the ghost owl had disappeared.
…
"The Hanged Ghost."
Xiao Xiao spoke softly.
…
Meng Jixi suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao.
After the wind stopped, he came to Master Xiao's side.
Noticing that Master Xiao seemed to be looking at something, even though he was full of doubts, he did not ask.
He tried again to find something.
But to no avail.
What exactly did Master Xiao see?
They were obviously looking at the same place, but he felt that the world in their eyes was hugely different.
He... wanted to see the scene in Master Xiao's eyes.
…
Master Xiao's silence made him puzzled.
The person they were waiting for should have arrived, right?
Why don't you speak out?
Is Master Xiao telepathically communicating with that guy?
Or are you competing to see who can lose your composure first?
…
I have to say that Meng Jixi guessed part of the truth.
The Gu Eagle and the Ghost Owl are both monsters summoned by Xiao Xiao through the Demon Appreciation, so naturally they are somewhat different from other monsters.
He can communicate with them telepathically.
However, the monster in the Gu Eagle's claws is not within this scope.
To communicate with it, you can only use the most direct method.
