"Hmph, I had expected such a day. After so many years, how could Xiao Ling and the others tolerate me? Not to mention him, how many people in the entire Xiao family want me to die? I'm afraid they can just spit on each one.
It's enough to drown me." Xiao Yifeng said coldly.
Xiao Lingxi glared at Xiao Yifeng, "When has this been, and you still have the mood to talk about this? I think you are no longer safe here. Maybe they have got the news that you are back and are looking for you everywhere! What if it happens again?
I'm really worried about what happened last time. So you and Xuewei should leave here, and once I'm free after entering the sect, we can find another chance to meet up!"
"No, I can't leave now. It's best for them to know that I'm back. This will also make them afraid to attack you casually." Xiao Yifeng's attitude was very firm.
"You idiot! Why do you keep trying to persuade me?" Xiao Lingxi became anxious.
Ling Xuewei began to persuade, "Lingxi, there are some things that have been accumulated for so many years. It's time to come to an understanding."
"Xue Wei is right. Even if it wasn't for you, I should still need an explanation for some things..." Xiao Yifeng's eyes were deep, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Lingxi bit her lower lip lightly, "Are you still investigating what happened back then?"
What happened back then?
Ling Xuewei looked puzzled.
Xiao Yifeng's eyes instantly turned cold.
"I was taken into the Xiao family when I was seven years old. The head of the Xiao family thought I didn't remember anything, but that's not the case. I vaguely remember that my whole family was killed, and someone deliberately set fire to my entire village. I was the only one who survived.
It was easy to escape and then met the owner of the family."
Xiao Yifeng said to Ling Xuewei.
"When he saw that I was all alone and had strong muscles and bones, he took me back to the Xiao family and adopted me as his son. Although I am grateful to him, I have had a doubt for many years."
Xiao Yifeng's eyes were dark and he was lost in memories.
"My tribe lives in a paradise isolated from the world. The whole tribe is highly skilled in martial arts, and is especially good at the art of Qimen Dunjia. Therefore, there are various mechanisms scattered around the village, making it difficult for ordinary people to find them. Later, among the tribe,
increasingly famous
It is so powerful that many people covet it. My father is the leader of the clan. It is rumored that he has a secret book of Bagua mechanism in his hand, which is the treasure of our clan and is extremely powerful. However, after the subsequent annihilation of the clan,
, disappeared."
"Then the disaster of annihilation of your tribe seems to be related to the secret book." Ling Xuewei sighed, "It is a big disaster for an ordinary person to have a treasure without guilt, but the treasure he possesses does not have the strength to match it.
.”
"Coincidentally, it was also from that time that the Xiao family, which was originally only a second-rate family in the Qinglong Kingdom, suddenly became powerful. It was not until later that I discovered that the Xiao family, which was famous throughout the country for its mechanism armor, also started to become powerful at that time.
I started to develop this art of hiding armor."
After Xiao Yifeng finished speaking, Ling Xuewei already understood.
"Are you suspecting that the rise of the Xiao family is related to the massacre of your family?"
Xiao Yifeng nodded, "Yes, although I was still young back then, I had been fascinated by the art of Dunjia since I was a child. As I grew older, I gradually discovered that the Xiao family's unique art of Dunjia was very different from that of my clan.
Similar. So, I have to doubt what happened back then..."
Xiao Lingxi pursed her lips, feeling very uneasy.
If the destruction of the Xiao Yifeng clan had anything to do with her Xiao family, she wouldn't know how to face Xiao Yifeng.
As if he knew what she was worried about, Xiao Yifeng held Lingxi's hand and looked deeply, "Lingxi, you are you and they are them. I can tell the difference clearly. Besides, my parents have only been with me for seven years.
And you are the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life."
Xiao Lingxi's eyes were slightly red.
This man, usually very dull, suddenly said such touching words of love, it was really...
Ling Xuewei looked at the two "affectionate" people in front of her and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Please, is she still here? Can you restrain yourself in front of her, a single person?
"Ahem... I mean, we haven't finished talking about the business yet. Can we talk about love later?"
She suddenly spoke, and Xiao Yifeng and Xiao Lingxi suddenly separated. Xiao Lingxi's fair face was slightly red, and she glared at Xiao Yifeng in embarrassment.
Ling Xuewei's eyes were full of teasing, and then she said seriously, "Yifeng, just go ahead and do your thing. If you need anything, just tell me."
Xiao Yifeng nodded, feeling moved in his heart, "Okay."
"There's also this, Lingxi, take it." Ling Xuewei took out a bottle and handed it to her, "There are fifty pills in it. You can take it back first and tell me if it's not enough."
Xiao Lingxi looked surprised, "This... how could you...?"
Ling Xuewei smiled lightly, and Xiao Yifeng explained, "Didn't I tell you? Xuewei is an alchemist?"
"What?!" Xiao Lingxi's eyes almost popped out of her head in surprise, "But this thing is too precious..."
Even in the Xiao family, each Xiao family disciple received only ten spirit-enhancing pills per month, and the quality was far inferior to the one in her hand. Now that she suddenly got so many spirit-enhancing pills, how could she afford it?
?
Ling Xuewei smiled and said, "Just accept it. Why are you so polite to me?"
Ling Xuewei's words obviously did not treat Lingxi as an outsider.
What's more, if Xiao Lingxi was treated as an outsider, how could Ling Xuewei tell her such a confidential matter?
Xiao Lingxi felt warm in her heart. At this moment, she had completely accepted Ling Xuewei.
"Okay, then I'll accept it, thank you."
This thank you brought them closer together again. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the air was filled with a touch of warmth.
Xiao Yifeng's eyes were soft and he said, "It's almost time, Lingxi, it's time for you to go back."
Ling Xuewei said, "Then send Lingxi back, be careful."
"What about you?"
Ling Xuewei smiled and said, "I'll go back to the inn first, don't worry about me."
"Well, you should also be careful."
Ling Xuewei nodded, said goodbye to Lingxi, and then left with Lightning and Snowball.
After returning to the inn, after briefly washing herself, she began to practice in bed.
During this period of time, she never dared to slack off in her practice even when she was outside.
In recent days, Ling Xuewei felt that she had faintly touched the third-level barrier and would be promoted soon, so she became even more diligent.
Xueqiu nestled on her knees and fell into a deep sleep. Every time Ling Xuewei practiced, Xueqiu liked to stick to her and seemed to like the breath of her body.
The same goes for lightning.
This should have something to do with the contract.
The improvement of this major's cultivation will also lead to the increase in the strength of the contracted beasts. Therefore, these two like to stay by Ling Xuewei's side when she is practicing.
A faint green light lingered around her, and gradually, the light became stronger and stronger. Ling Xuewei felt that the third-order barrier was breaking bit by bit, and was about to be broken through.
A thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead unknowingly. She struck again and again, gradually becoming exhausted. She quickly took out three spiritual enhancement pills from her spiritual ring and drank them. In an instant, her spiritual energy surged!
Then, keep on attacking!
Just like that, after taking more than a dozen spirit-enhancing pills in succession, she finally broke through!
The green aura suddenly increased! From the original light green, it became darker.
After a moment, Ling Xuewei slowly opened her eyes.
Lightning and Snowball immediately came to her and cried with joy.
"Master, you have been promoted!"
"Very good!"
Ling Xuewei nodded, "Yes, successfully promoted to the third level."
Finally, all the hard work in daily life is not in vain.
Then she frowned, feeling that since she was promoted to Martial Master, the effect of the Spirit-enhancing Pill was not as good as before.
In the past, if you took one pill, you could obviously feel the increase in spiritual energy. Now, if you take three pills, the effect is minimal.
It seems that after being promoted to Martial Lord, the Spirit Enhancement Pill gradually loses its previous effect.
I got out of bed, poured myself a glass of water and drank it slowly while my consciousness swept over the inheritance in my mind.
There is a kind of elixir in the inheritance, the Explosive Spirit Pill, which is a higher level pill than the Spirit Enhancement Pill and the Spiritual Energy Pill, and belongs to the spirit pill level.
It seems that if you want to improve your strength in the future, you will have to find a way to refine the Explosive Spirit Pill.
Since the effect of the Spirit-enhancing Pill on her is no longer that good, it is even more useless for Xiao Yifeng.
However, Lingxi has not yet reached Wu Zun, so it should still be used.
Ling Xuewei thought for a moment and planned to continue refining the Spirit-Enhancing Pill until Xiao Lingxi was promoted to Martial Master. What's more, the price of the Spirit-Enhancing Pill in the market is not low, and if it is sold, it can be exchanged for a large number of spirit stones.
good.
After tonight's contact, to be honest, Ling Xuewei likes this girl Lingxi very much.
Strong, independent, and confident, much like her before.
So even though they have known each other for a short time, Ling Xuewei still feels like they have known each other for a long time. Maybe it's because Xiao Yifeng often mentioned Xiao Lingxi in her ears, so Ling Xuewei didn't feel strange at all when she came into contact with Xiao Lingxi.
However, she remembered what Yifeng said tonight.
If it is true as he suspected, the Xiao family is related to the people who destroyed his clan back then, leaving aside Lingxi, how should Yifeng, who was raised by his enemy, deal with himself?
Ling Xuewei sighed.
No matter what happens in the end, this result can only be swallowed by Yifeng himself.
And all she can do is stay by his side as much as possible.
This is the only thing she can do as a friend.
***
The next day, Ling Xuewei got up early in the morning. Just after washing up, Xiao Yifeng knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Xiao Yifeng opened the door and walked in, "I brought some simple breakfast, let's eat together."
Ling Xuewei nodded, and the two sat down to have breakfast together.
"Were you okay last night?"
Xiao Yifeng said, "It's okay. When I came back last night, I saw that you were already asleep, so I didn't disturb you. Lingxi also told me that she was particularly grateful for the elixir you gave her."
Ling Xuewei chuckled, "I quite like Lingxi, but I didn't expect that you have good taste."
Xiao Yifeng gave a rare shy smile and scratched his face in embarrassment, "Actually, Lingxi also told me that he fell in love with you at first sight. Lingxi rarely has friends with whom he can talk well, but now that he has met
