Once Hooked, There Will Be No Disappointment
Three days later.
"Lin Xiao, Yan Yan-jie and I are going to hunt Soul Rings, do you want to come with us? Or will you wait for us at home!"
Ye Lingling cheerfully burst into Lin Xiao's room.
She was just about to lift the covers.
But she suddenly realized the bed was empty.
She paused, muttering:
"Where is he?"
She went to look in the corridor, the main hall, the side courtyard...
"Mom! Something terrible has happened!"
"Lin Xiao is gone!"
Ye Lingling was flustered and shouted.
Ye Qingxian was practicing the Eight Section Brocade in the backyard, and glanced at her.
"What's all the noise about!"
"He left this morning, it's not like he's dead!"
"Left?"
Ye Lingling stood there dumbfounded.
A bitter taste suddenly rose in her heart.
Her eyes were also so sore that they seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.
Tears swirled in her eyes.
She had just made a new friend other than Yan Yan-jie, why did he leave so quickly? Ye Qingxian asked in surprise, "Why are you crying?!"
After a little thought, she found it both funny and annoying: "What's wrong with you!"
"Lin Xiao went out for a while, he has a friend in Heaven Water City! They have a good relationship, and now that it's the holidays, he went to visit, he'll be back soon!"
Ye Lingling stared blankly at Ye Qingxian.
Her fair face still had tear stains on it.
The surprise came too suddenly.
Ye Lingling burst into tears and then smiled:
"You scared me, I thought he wasn't coming back!"
Her joy didn't last long.
Ye Lingling saw Ye Qingxian with her arms crossed, looking at her with an extremely strange look, and a thoughtful expression on her face.
Her face flushed red.
"Mom, don't tell anyone about this!"
Ye Qingxian nodded.
"Okay, I won't tell anyone."
Ye Lingling still felt embarrassed after all.
Both ashamed and annoyed.
She stomped her foot and prepared to escape Ye Qingxian's sight.
Turning around, she ran into Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, who were ready to go.
Dugu Bo seemed to be muttering something.
"I knew it was right to reserve a spot in advance..."
Ye Lingling felt like the sky was falling.
A tragic social death, worse than flogging a corpse.
Her mind was buzzing...
Her pupils had lost focus.
Fortunately, Dugu Yan didn't laugh at her.
Instead, she looked at Ye Qingxian and asked:
"Aunt Ye, who is Lin Xiao going to see in Heaven Water City?"
"Oh, a little girl, about his age, named Shui Binger. Lin Xiao said he met her on the way to Heaven Dou City, and that girl seems to be quite fond of him?"
Ye Qingxian said thoughtfully:
"I was wondering, he said he was an orphan, but he's wearing a Soul Tool ring and dressed very decently. So, he's latched onto a young heiress."
Said in jest, taken to heart.
Ye Qingxian was only teasing.
However, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were silent upon hearing this.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxian didn't say much more and waved her hand.
"Aren't you going to hunt Soul Rings?"
"Go on, go on!"
"With Poison Douluo around, I won't follow."
Dugu Bo set off with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Ye Qingxian watched the backs of the departing figures and sighed softly.
"Lingling's nature is like this, shy and sentimental; I don't know what to do in the future. Yan Yan can't always take care of her, can she? She has to grow up eventually."
As for the matters between the younger generation.
Ye Qingxian has always believed in the principle of letting things take their course.
What's the point of adults interfering in children's affairs?
Besides, everyone is just friends now...
Moreover, Ye Qingxian is single and still lives freely, doesn't she?
"However, if that Lin Xiao kid is snatched away, I always feel a little uncomfortable... the days ahead will be lonely."
Life is rarely ever satisfactory.
In this mortal world, how can one remain untouched?
...
The rumbling of the carriage gradually stopped.
"Young Master Lin Xiao, we've arrived."
An old voice sounded.
Lin Xiao bowed slightly to the man, politely saying:
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
Uncle Li's original name was Li Cangsong, his Martial Soul was the Coiling Serpent Staff, and he was a level 64 Soul Emperor.
He owed Ye Qingxian a favor, or rather, a life.
Moreover, he knew Lin Xiao well.
This time, he was the one escorting Lin Xiao.
Uncle Li smiled kindly.
"Young Master is too polite."
Speaking of which, this is the first time in Lin Xiao's life that he has been called "Young Master"! But he didn't feel very happy, instead, he felt very unaccustomed to it.
Lin Xiao got off the carriage.
Looking at the delicate and beautiful city in the wind and snow ahead, there were a few simple characters above the city, "Heaven Water City".
After entering the city.
Walking along the road, he saw many exquisite ice sculptures.
It seems that this is also a characteristic of Heaven Water City.
On the streets, there are also many young and beautiful girls.
Either in twos and threes, or in groups.
"Moth ornaments, snow willows, golden threads, laughter filled with faint fragrance."
Beauties are like clouds, too many to take in.
On the contrary, boys are rarely seen.
This is normal, because in Heaven Water City, there is an advanced Soul Master academy with all female students, called "Heaven Water Academy".
In the future, after Shui Binger graduates from the elementary Soul Master academy, she will most likely join it.
Lin Xiao suddenly heard whispers around him.
There were occasional giggles.
Many eyes fell on him.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but touch his Red Maple-colored hair.
It seems that in this city dominated by ice blue and snow white, his fiery Red Maple color is a bit too eye-catching.
"That little brother is so cute..."
"Yeah, long hair, and a pretty face."
"What a pity, it would be great if he were my younger brother."
"What if he was your younger brother?"
"If he were my younger brother, he would definitely look better in a skirt!"
"Hahaha... don't let the little brother hear you!"
Lin Xiao's original leisurely mood disappeared.
His little face darkened, and his expression turned gloomy.
His first bad impression of Heaven Water City came from these big sisters who lacked boundaries! "Ah, is he angry? Even cuter!"
"I really want to rub his face. Do you think I can trick him into going home if I give him a candied hawthorn?"
"Silly, there are people following him!"
Lin Xiao didn't want to listen to these "malicious" words anymore.
In the cold winter.
The words of these little ladies are even more chilling! Lin Xiao asked an uncle for directions according to the address written by Shui Binger, and walked away quickly.
"Young Master Lin Xiao, why are you walking so fast? Don't you want to see the scenery of Heaven Water City?"
Uncle Li was in a very relaxed mood.
He regarded this escort mission as a vacation.
Heaven Water City is beautiful!
Lin Xiao said depressedly: "Uncle Li, let's go to the Shui Family first. After I arrive, you can take some time to stroll around."
Uncle Li smiled.
"Is the little young master missing her so much?"
Lin Xiao: "..."
He wasn't just missing her dearly.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his urge to stab someone!
After many twists and turns.
He arrived at the Shui Family.
Lin Xiao smiled at the guard at the entrance and said:
"Hello, please announce that Lin Xiao is here to see Miss Shui Binger."
Just then.
A cry of surprise came from behind him.
"Lin Xiao, Brother Lin Xiao?!"
He saw Shui Binger followed by Granny Shui Yuehua.
The girl, dressed in a sky-blue dress, was as beautiful as a princess.
Her fair and delicate face was full of surprise!
Lin Xiao chuckled: "Miss Shui Binger, Granny Shui Yuehua."
"How have you been?"
Once a promise is made, it should be kept!
