After not seeing each other for a long time, she met suddenly. She wanted to say and ask everything, but she didn't know where to start.
The two of them checked each other's changes. Seeing that Tong Yan had grown into a slim girl, Shen Zhuangheng was surprised and said first: "Yan Yan, you have grown taller. I almost didn't recognize you just now."
Tong Yan had always been worried about not growing up, but he didn't expect that it would be solved once he came to the world of cultivation.
The childish words he spoke were somewhat excited, so he hid the part about the sword spirit and told him the reason why he grew up.
Shen Zhuangheng said: "So as long as your cultivation level increases, you can continue to grow up."
Tong Yan smiled and nodded repeatedly, "I was a little shorter before, but after completing my training recently, I have grown to my current height!"
As he spoke, he also gestured with his hands to show his height.
Shen Zhuangheng looked at her with a smile on his face, his face was gentle, like the spring breeze.
Huo Qizhi followed, and what he saw was this scene that looked like a man's love for a concubine, and the look in his eyes couldn't help but darken for a moment.
It turns out that I was in such a hurry because I came to see someone else.
Over there, Tong Yan said: "You have changed a lot. I heard that you have entered the Qiankun Gate. How are you staying there?"
Shen Zhuangheng was originally a handsome man with a beautiful face. After being nourished by spiritual energy and practicing in the world of cultivation for several years, he became even more majestic and majestic than before.
"Everyone in the school treats me very well, so there is no need to worry about my words."
"That's good." Then she leaned over and whispered the rest of the sentence to him, "If you don't treat me well, you can quit the sect and come to me."
After all, you are inciting people to betray the teacher, so naturally you have to lower your voice.
Shen Zhuangheng couldn't help but laugh. Warmth rose in his heart, and he also whispered back: "Okay!"
Then the two looked at each other and smiled.
Huo Qizhi walked over at this time, walking casually as if he just happened to pass by.
His eyes met Shen Zhuangheng who had clearly noticed him but ignored him.
After getting closer, he called out. He was so immersed in joy that he never noticed his childish words.
Tong Yan turned around in surprise, "Huo Qizhi, why are you here? Have you met Wang Jiayu?"
Huo Qizhi glanced at her hand grasping Shen Zhuangheng's sleeve, nodded slightly and said, "I just came over there and am about to go back."
"Oh, really." After saying that, he turned around and introduced to Shen Zhuangheng, "This is my friend from the sect."
Huo Qizhi immediately took over her words and said, "I'm Huo Qizhi."
Shen Zhuangheng raised his lips and chuckled, his tone a bit cold, "I am Yan Yan's elder brother. My surname is Shen, my name is Zhuang Heng. Nice to meet you."
Huo Qizhi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the name. Their last names were completely different, but he still replied calmly, "Nice to meet you."
But Tong Yan pulled Shen Zhuangheng's hand dissatisfied, "When will you become a brother?"
Shen Zhuangheng laughed after hearing this and said pointedly: "Otherwise, what do you think?"
Age is not as obvious as height. If Tong Yan is older than Shen Zhuangheng, not many people would believe it.
The two of them interacted intimately without anyone else, which made Huo Qizhi feel inexplicably confused. When he saw what Tong Yan wanted to say, he spoke before her.
"Since you brother and sister are reunited after a long absence, why don't you find a quiet place to sit down and reminisce about the past."
After he reminded her, Tong Yan was shocked to realize that the two of them had been chatting on the street. Occasionally, there were disciples from the sect coming and going. It was indeed not a place for chatting.
Then he said, "Su Mu, your room is not far away. Let's go back and sit and chat."
This means being in a room together and alone.
Shen Zhuangheng: "It's not that far."
"That's okay..."
Huo Qizhi suddenly interrupted her and said calmly: "Although you are brothers and sisters, it is not appropriate for a man and a woman to live together in the same room. How about we go to my little thatched cottage to get together."
Tong Yan didn't think it was anything, but it was more convenient to chat while eating in a small hut.
She was a little moved, so she turned to look at Shen Zhuangheng.
Shen Zhuangheng didn't think that there was any great defense between men and women, and those who were clean would be cleansed themselves, but he was a little concerned about Tong Yan, and seeing that she seemed to want to go, he nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll bother Brother Huo."
After lighting a fire in the small hut, Tong Yan remembered that his inventory had been eaten up during the year of experience. It was obviously too late to buy now, so he decided to go to the river next to him.
She asked Huo Qizhi: "Are there any fish in the river?"
Huo Qizhi thought for a while and said: "Yes, yes, but the skill is small after all."
It doesn’t matter if you are young, you can make fish soup. Tong Yan stood up and said to catch fish.
Shen Zhuangheng habitually got up to go with her. Seeing this, Huo Qizhi felt uncomfortable sitting still and got up too.
Tong Yan: "How long does it take me to catch a fish? Why are there so many people here? You all just sit down. I'll be back in a moment."
Shen Zhuangheng said: "After catching the fish, you have to kill the fish and remove the scales. If you don't like to deal with this, I won't ask anyone to take care of it."
In the past, Tong Yan really didn't know how to kill fish, not only fish, but also chickens. She didn't like the feeling of the blade cutting the skin.
During those two years in the small mountain village, killing animals was always a big event. Those who knew it were killing animals, but those who didn't knew it were still killing people.
So later, when it came to chickens and fish, we had to either buy them freshly killed or let Shen Zhuang Heng kill them.
But now she has even overcome her desire to kill, and just killing fish is nothing.
"It's okay, I can handle it." After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the river.
Shen Zhuangheng said to Huo Qizhi, "I am used to it. It will be faster if we go together. Brother Huo, just sit down and wait for a while."
Then he also followed.
Huo Qizhi sat back and stared at the two people talking and laughing by the river for a long time. After a moment, he looked back at the fire, and the dancing flames were imprinted in his eyes.
The monk is not afraid of basic cold and heat, but at this moment he felt that the fire in front of him was burning a little too brightly, which made him feel a little anxious for no reason.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Tong Yan and the two came back together, each holding a few prepared fish in their hands.
She took out a complete set of kitchen utensils that she had specially customized during a certain free time, and placed them on the fire to boil water.
Shen Zhuangheng took over the rest without her having to do anything. When she had nothing to do, she made the remaining mangoes into smoothies, which was just enough for each person.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted with each other, and inadvertently ignored Huo Qizhi next to them.
While the fish soup was still simmering, Tong Yan finished the smoothie in her hand. Shen Zhuangheng promptly took out various delicious cakes he had collected along the way and placed them in front of her.
"I've eaten all of these, and they taste pretty good."
Shen Zhuangheng also has the habit of carrying food with him. I don’t know if it’s because of his experience of being hungry for several years as a child, or because of the influence of children’s words, or maybe both.
Obviously these things are very suitable for Tong Yan's taste. Every time he eats something, the smile on his face widens a little.
She handed the thing to Huo Qizhi to taste, and Huo Qizhi suddenly asked curiously: "How many years have you known each other, brother and sister?"
How many years does it take to become so familiar with each other that you can even remember each other's habits and tastes?
