After Yao Wan left, Xiao Yan sat alone in the yard and fell into a brief silence. Then, he sat down where Yao Wan had been sitting just now. He picked up a fruit from the fruit plate, bit into the slightly sour peel, and bit off a piece of crispy pulp. The sweet and sour taste stimulated his nerves at the moment.
"... Teacher, what do you mean by Wan Guniang?"
"What do you mean?"
Yao Lao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile and said, "I think it's a good thing."
"Can this be a good thing?"
Yao Lao's words made Xiao Yan frown.
Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan's current appearance and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Isn't it that what you did just now was very effective in dealing with the girl? Why did you retreat on your own at this time?"
Afraid that Xiao Yan wouldn't understand what he said, Yao Lao simply pointed it out. "You feel that this girl is angry. Could it be that you don't feel that this girl is jealous of you?"
"Huh?"
When he heard Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan suddenly felt as if his head had been hit by a huge boulder. The world was spinning for a moment, and it was unbelievable.
Rather than being surprised, I was more worried that this was delusion. Xiao Yan was silent for a long time and couldn't help but said, "Teacher, are you serious?"
"You brat, have I ever lied to you before?"
Yao Lao laughed and cursed, then slapped Xiao Yan on the forehead with a moderate slap and said.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then showed a silly smile, "Really?"
"Really, really, ouch."
Yao Lao nodded patiently, but couldn't help but shake his head after turning around. He was such a troublesome apprentice. It was just a matter of asking him to teach me how to practice. He even had to teach me about matters such as love between young men and women. It was really hopeless.
"Although the authorities are confused, you, the authorities, are too confused."
Yao Lao cursed, but after he finished scolding, he continued, "But then again, don't be too happy too early. Judging from what the girl said and her expression later, she probably didn't realize this even herself."
"You didn't even realize it?"
"What I mean is that you hurry up and strike while the iron is hot. Now that the girl's feelings for you are not so clear, you can take one step at a time."
As for Yao Lao, before Xiao Yan could say anything more, he said, "Wait a minute, your good sister seems to be here."
Then, Yao Lao immediately hid in Storage Ring in Xiao Yan's hand.
Xiao Yan looked solemn, Xun'er is back? That's hard to say.
Not long after Yao Lao hid in Storage Ring, a series of noisy footsteps came. A group of boys and girls walked into the door, and saw that Xiao Yan, whom they had not seen for a long time, was actually there. They all raised their hands and saluted, "I have seen Gate Master."
"Huh? Gate Master...?"
Xiao Yan's first reaction was confusion. Shouldn't others call him senior? Why did it become Gate Master?
It's just that he didn't have the nerve to ask this question, otherwise it would be really embarrassing. After all, no matter who Ruyi Pan Gate is actually in charge of, the nominal Gate Master is naturally still Xiao Yan.
"Ahem, everyone has worked hard, let's go do our own thing."
After saying that, Xiao Yan dismissed the Inner Academy freshmen who were also Pan Gate in front of them, leaving only a few people in charge who explained a few words in turn.
Wu Hao and Hu Jia are responsible for Pan Gate's external affairs, while Xun'er is responsible for internal affairs. Nalan Yanran is responsible for managing Pan Gate on behalf of Xiao Yan, as well as responding to the provocations and challenges of various Inner Academy gangs.
Xiao Yan was naturally too lazy to come back to finish their work, so he could only explain a few words at most.
But only the content of the conversation between Xun'er and Xiao Yan was much more ambiguous.
"Just now, Nalan and I went to find the freshmen among Pan Gate who have gone out temporarily. After all, the trees are big and attract wind. If you don't keep a close eye on the disciples in the sect, you will inevitably be missed by local snakes."
Xun'er explained why she did not come back immediately after Queen Medusa left.
"Are you okay? Xiao Yan Gege?"
"I'm fine, Xun'er, can't you ask me something else? Do I look like someone who can get into trouble easily?"
Xiao Yan said with a straight face, as if he was angry.
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Xun'er was neither angry nor annoyed. He just smiled and took the initiative to hold Xiao Yan's slender but rough fingertips, and said with a smile, "Of course I know Xiao Yan Gege is the most powerful, so it must be fine."
Seeing Xun'er say this, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "Well, that's it, Xun'er just need to believe me."
"Well - of course I believe Xiao Yan Gege."
Xiao Xun'er's eyes are as gentle as water.
Seeing the two people interacting like glue, Wu Hao and Hu Jia couldn't help coughing heavily, and while signaling the two of them to calm down a little, they turned to greet all the Pan Gate disciples who were still in the yard at this moment, either go out to earn Fire Energy, or go back to the house to practice honestly. There is no need for any light bulbs in this broad daylight.
While there was no one around, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but hug Xiao Yan secretly. Xiao Yan had no choice but to open his arms and hug the elf-like girl in his arms.
All this was so beautiful to Xiao Xun'er, but while hugging Xiao Yan, she discovered a small flaw behind these sweet words.
Xiao Yan Gege seems to smell like that woman...
Xiao Xun'er slightly twitched the tip of his nose, subconsciously feeling uneasy and dissatisfied, but because the smell was so light, it seemed as if it was just his own misunderstanding.
Disgusting woman, hateful Yao Wan...
This breath of hers seemed to remind Xiao Xun'er all the time, stimulating her fragile and sensitive emotional nerves.
As long as he doesn't drive that woman away completely for a day, he won't be able to find peace for a day.
So...
As if being reminded that his victory was far from coming in the gentle land, Xiao Xun'er endured the smell that did not belong to him on Xiao Yan Gege's body, and buried his head into Xiao Yan's chest. He couldn't help but rub it gently, as if he wanted to use his own smell to cover and drive away the smell of that annoying woman.
Regardless of whether this was an illusion or not, she would never tolerate it.
But Xiao Yan simply thought that maybe the smell left by the contact between Queen Medusa and him had aroused Xun'er's vigilance, so he let her do whatever she wanted.
It's just that Xiao Yan himself has undoubtedly overlooked one thing. Because of Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Xiao Yan has already been pickled and tasted. The trace of Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's strange fragrance will naturally not arouse Xiao Xun'er's alertness and attention.
The two got tired of each other for a while, and Xiao Xun'er knew that it was not a problem to pester Xiao Yan all the time, so he consciously let go of Xiao Yan and went to do what he should do.
Seeing that Xun'er left, and couldn't help but look back at himself before leaving, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't know whether he regretted that the time he spent with the girl here was too short, or whether the hidden danger behind it gave him a headache.
But maybe having both is the norm.
"——Isn't it fun to have sex with Xiao Xun'er?"
Suddenly, another Qianying who was the only one left in the yard besides Xiao Yan couldn't help but cross her arms and said.
Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran subconsciously.
"Nalan?"
Xiao Yan soon discovered that something was obviously wrong with Nalan Yanran's expression.
"... How does it feel to have two boats under your feet?"
There was a bit of sarcasm in Nalan Yanran's words, which made Xiao Yan couldn't help but hold his forehead. "When you say that, I almost know that it is probably impossible to explain it to you clearly."
Xiao Yan's words made Nalan Yanran snort, "Explain clearly? How do you explain?"
"Explain how you plan to get them both together?"
Nalan Yanran frowned, but what a coincidence, her words were almost exactly what Xiao Yan originally meant... what she meant in her heart, but it was basically impossible to say it out loud.
And looking at Xiao Yan's face, Nalan Yanran knew that he must have guessed it right.
"I know it's not appropriate for me as an outsider to intervene at this time. It would be too pretentious to threaten you to let her down - but!"
Nalan Yanran's eyes were extremely serious. "I don't know what you are thinking in your heart, but even if you are a bastard who wants to step on a few boats, at least show some courage to step on a few boats, okay? Or is it interesting for you to pretend to be infatuated while harboring affection?"
"If you really like Yao Wan, then even if you are a bastard, please be worthy of her devotion to you, okay?"
"——It's better to be a bastard and be slapped in front of her than to be left behind by her and never see her again until death."
Nalan Yanran exhaled a breath, looked at Xiao Yan, whose brain seemed to be shut down, and said, "There is only so much I want to say. How you act is entirely up to you. I said, I am just an outsider. Threatening you and asking you to listen to me are too pretentious."
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't reply, Nalan Yanran just took it as his acquiescence.
"Other than that, I don't have much to say to you... right, Gate Master, the dragon that never comes to an end? If you hadn't popped up occasionally from time to time, I would have thought you had died somewhere in the corner..."
From the perspective of Xiao Yan at this moment, Nalan Yanran, who was averting his gaze but could not help but scold him, was somewhat similar to Wan Guniang.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Xiao Yan didn't know where the courage came from. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Nalan Yanran's hands with an excited look on his face.
"Well, thank you for your suggestion, Nalan!"
Xiao Yan's tone already showed that Xiao Yan was extremely excited at this moment.
It's just that this kind of excitement is destined to be impossible to understand by Nalan Yanran.
"What do you understand?! Asshole, let me go!"
