It is true that chickens and ducks are like chickens, horses and cows are not related to each other, Xuan Bao can only sigh long and long.
The third brother thought differently and thought that Xuan Bao had learned it from an experienced Taoist master before he was three years old. What he didn't know was that in just a few short months, under the magical effect of the lingering clock, the little baby had learned what it would take a normal person to learn in several lifetimes.
Now, she feels old.
"Third brother, it's time for you to get down to business."
Xiao Keren turned around after walking out of the pavilion: "Although you haven't told me the whole truth yet, I believe you."
"Thank you, third brother, for your trust. I will not betray your trust. I will tell you when the time comes." Xuan Bao sat on the chair and shook his short legs and waved to Xiao Keren.
Watching Xiao Keren's figure disappear by the lake, Xia Yu and Dong Xue entered the pavilion.
"County Master." The two maids called out at the same time with surprised looks on their faces.
Xuan Bao was seen standing on the stone chair, her eyes falling on the lake, her expression solemn as never before.
Hearing the call, Xuan Bao waved his hands but kept staring at the lake.
Dong Xue and Xia Yu covered their mouths knowingly. They walked tiptoe to the side of the county leader and followed her gaze.
The wind was blowing and the waves were rippling on the lake. Isn't there anything strange? But the county master looked at it so carefully, there must be something fishy in it. The two maids watched intently.
Suddenly, there was a trance in front of my eyes. The lake seemed to be attractive. Dong Xue and Xia Yu slowly moved forward.
A cold light flashed in Xuan Bao's eyes, and then her normally agile eyes became blurred, and she also walked forward slowly like the two maids.
Watching the three people arrive at the edge of the lake center pavilion, there is no fence around the pavilion, and benches as high as an adult's knees surround the pavilion.
For Xuan Bao, the bench must be as high as her waist, but the situation is different for Dong Xue and Xia Yu.
Seeing the two maids inserting green onions upside down and falling into the lake, Xuan Bao bent over and fell down too.
Seeing that the three of them were about to fall into the lake, Xuan Bao grabbed Xia Yu and Dong Xue's ankles with his left and right hands, while the little baby's feet were hooked on the bench at the edge of the pavilion.
Xuan Bao saw it. Just when they were about to fall into the water, she saw something swimming quickly in the lake. Before the three of them fell into the water, the thing sank to the bottom of the lake and soon disappeared.
Although he had no contact or seen his true face, Xuan Bao felt the strange aura. It was not human energy, ghost aura, or watery aura.
"County Lord." Dongxue finally found her voice.
Xia Yu spoke with a cry: "County Lord, you throw us down, it's too dangerous."
"Danger?" Xuan Bao blinked a few times. She found it quite interesting, and the little baby swayed a few times.
"Ah!" Dongxue and Xia Yu couldn't help but scream.
"Shut up!" Xuan Bao shouted, "Are you trying to lure people here?"
The county chief was right. Although the scene in front of them was terrifying, Dong Xue and Xia Yu could barely suppress their panic.
"Okay, no more playing, go up and stand firm."
After saying this, Xuan Bao threw Dong Xue and Xia Yu back into the pavilion one by one.
After throwing it, the little doll's instep was firmly hooked and then swayed vigorously. A person using the force did a backflip in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground.
"What are you doing? You're so scared." Xuan Bao looked at the two maids standing in front of him in a daze in confusion.
"County Lord." The two of them came to their senses and rushed forward to hug Xuan Bao. They were both excited and scared.
Xuan Bao felt a little embarrassed when they suddenly hugged her. After a while, the little baby remembered how her mother comforted her. She shyly raised her hands and patted the backs of Dong Xue and Xia Yu.
"Be good, don't be afraid."
With a squeak, Dong Xue and Xia Yu were amused, and tears overflowed from their eyes as they laughed.
"If you encounter danger in the future, you must protect yourself first."
"My slave's life doesn't matter, but you can't make any mistakes."
Xuan Bao frowned: "I don't like to hear what you two are saying. Anyway, trust me, I can protect you. Didn't I prove it just now?"
"Yes." Xia Yu reacted and looked at Xuan Bao with admiration, "The county master is so strong."
"No one can know this." Dongxue looked around and then patted her heart, "Fortunately, no one is here."
"Why can't people know?"
"You are a woman, you are from a girl's family." After Dongxue said this, she slapped her forehead in confusion when she saw Xuan Bao, "Forget it, don't show it in front of others. As for the reason, you will know it when you are older."
Xuan Bao's attention was not on this matter: "Did you two see anything just now?"
"How dare you open your eyes when you're scared to death?" Xia Yu said with lingering fear, Dong Xue nodded in agreement beside her.
Dongxue calmed down and said: "It's weird, why did we fall into the water?"
"It seemed like something pulled me into the water, and then I saw my family and little sisters from my village waving to me."
"I also saw someone familiar. It was my mother calling me over."
"Illusion." Xuan Bao turned around and looked at the lake thoughtfully.
"Little stupid baby." The veteran Taoist master in the space suddenly spoke out.
Xuan Bao rolled his eyes, showing up at this time and not bothering to pay attention to him.
The old Taoist master's tone was slightly different from usual: "Come closer and let me feel it more."
It was so meaningless, but Xuan Bao understood it all at once, and she approached the edge of the pavilion, where the three of them almost fell into the water just now.
Dong Xue and Xia Yu suddenly became nervous, and immediately after Xuan Bao reached out, the same person stretched out a hand and grabbed her arm.
"County Lord, don't come close."
"It doesn't matter, I just want to take a look."
After watching for a long time, until Xuan Bao walked back, the old Taoist master didn't say anything again.
Something happened, and it was something serious. Xuan Bao knew his master's temperament very well. If a person who is optimistic, funny, and cheerful talks and laughs, something will happen to him if he stops talking.
After returning to Lingyun Garden, after freshening up and changing clothes, Dongxue and Xia Yu were also frightened just now. Xuanbao asked them to retreat and rest to collect themselves on the pretext that he wanted to be alone.
"Wow!" When Xuan Bao entered the space, he thought it had been stolen. Things that were originally neatly arranged were suddenly in a mess.
Hearing Xuan Bao's voice, the old Taoist master staggered out of a pile of books and floated to her.
"Master Taoist, why are you looking so sad?" Xuan Bao was shocked. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation after following his master for so many years.
"I am ashamed of all the ancestors." The old Taoist master simply sat on the ground.
Xuan Bao squeezed until the old Taoist master followed him and sat on the floor: "What did you find in the lake?"
"A breath, a special breath."
"Yes, I noticed it too."
"Have you noticed it too?" The old Taoist master showed a look of ecstasy, "I'm afraid your cultivation level has far surpassed that of your senior brother."
After being happy, the old Taoist master fell down and muttered to himself: "How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"
