It was night, after several compatriots who grew up among Xiao Family Courtyard toasted and celebrated, while Xiao Xun'er was being entangled by Xiao Yu Xiao Mei, Xiao Li patted the shoulder of Xiao Yan who was drinking.
Xiao Yan was slightly startled.
"What's wrong, second brother?"
Xiao Yan said with a hint of ambiguity in his tone.
"It's nothing, I just have something I want to talk to you about alone. Come on, let's go up and have some fun together?"
Xiao Li said.
Since it was the second brother who spoke, Xiao Yan naturally could not refuse. He gently put down his wine glass and walked onto the balcony with Xiao Li.
"I haven't had the time to ask you alone just now, how have you been these days?"
Xiao Li slowly turned around and asked.
"That's good. Didn't Xun'er and the others just say this?"
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Li with a trace of doubt and said.
But when Xiao Li heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head. "What I want to ask is not the answer they gave you. Second brother wants to hear your true thoughts."
Seeing that these few words couldn't make sense, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm quite tired."
"Is it training or feelings?"
"Second brother?"
Xiao Yan's tone was inevitably filled with a hint of astonishment.
"It seems I was right."
Seeing the astonishment on Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Li smiled, then turned around and glanced at Xiao Xun'er in the room, and said, "Of course Xun'er is a good girl, but why didn't you call your younger siblings?"
"What younger siblings? Between Wan Guniang and me..."
"You want to say it's nothing? No, right? It's just a matter of time."
Xiao Li shook his head and said.
Xiao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's inconvenient. Xiao Clan is having a party. Guests are here. It's not appropriate for me to call Wan Guniang. Besides, isn't there Xun'er?"
"Oh, are you jealous?"
Xiao Li saw Xiao Yan's pointed look and couldn't help but smile, "I just noticed that there seems to be some minor conflicts between you two. Although I can't tell specifically, there is something obviously wrong with the atmosphere."
"Atmosphere? What atmosphere?"
Xiao Yan didn't react for a moment. After feeling the eyes from his second brother, he smiled bitterly, "Actually, this is my own fault."
With that said, he briefly told Xiao Li all his experiences during this period, especially the fact that he almost started a fire in the backyard because of his haste.
"Haha, this isn't really a backyard fire."
Xiao Li smiled and shook his head and said.
"Emotionally speaking, jealousy is inevitable, but if it doesn't work out the first time, just take it as a precaution. After all, you can't just abandon someone again, right?"
"So this thing is actually not that great. Men, who doesn't have the idea of three wives and four concubines? Like me and your elder brother... cough cough cough, forget it, it's hard to say, but in short, it is right to have this idea, and it is right to want to do this, as long as you have the ability and responsibility."
Xiao Li patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and comforted him, "Besides, you are not a bad boy. Originally, your eldest brother, your father, and I only guessed that you would only take two of them together in the future. But unexpectedly, another one came. You are really capable."
"As for the relationship between Xun'er and that girl I've never met, tsk, what's that saying? Crying children get milk, and you can't ignore the other side because of Xun'er's temporary grievances? People will indeed compromise and won't complain, but people's hearts are full of flesh, and it's unreasonable to favor one over the other."
Xiao Li shook his head seriously in front of Xiao Yan: "We will all be Xiao Clan's daughter-in-law in the future. There is no need for this."
"Yes, I understand that, second brother."
Xiao Yan nodded, and then changed the subject. "But second brother, how did you come to Black-Corner Region? Black-Corner Region This place is too dangerous, you Da Dou Shi..."
Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned. He felt the aura from Xiao Li. He was already Dou Ling.
"Do you think you are the only one making progress?"
Xiao Li lightly punched Xiao Yan's chest and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this is all thanks to my younger brother and sister. She was too busy not to let us tell you when she was here. Now it's almost two years, and it's time to tell you about it."
"Oh, and also, during the time between you and Nalan Family, Three-Year Agreement, Xiao Clan also received a large amount of assistance from the Mittel Family. My father asked the person in charge of the Mittel Family, and they only said that it was entrusted by a noble person."
In fact, Xiao Yan heard his father mention this later matter later, but this was the first time he knew about the two brothers.
"People are so kind to you. They are not just kind to you. It's hard to find them even with a lantern."
Xiao Li said, "That's it for now. The remaining brothers can't help you much, so I can only cheer you up."
Xiao Yan shook his head. "Of course I know that too."
"It's just that Wan Guniang probably won't stay with me for too long."
"What? She's leaving?"
"I'm not leaving, I'm going back."
Xiao Yan shook his head and corrected his second brother.
"Oh, is it her mysterious family?"
This is not a secret in the eyes of the Xiao Clan people. Yao Wan is so mysterious that it is a possibility that there will be a mysterious family behind it to support it.
"Not only because of external reasons, but also internal reasons."
Xiao Yan thought for a while, maybe because Jiu Jin really needed someone to talk to, and said, "Wan Guniang sealed the power of her bloodline to ensure that she would not be sensed by her family, but if she delays awakening her bloodline, it will also be harmful to her own body."
"I don't want her to leave at all, but maybe if she leaves, her bloodline will harm herself so that things like this won't happen."
"That's it."
Xiao Li nodded silently. At this point, it was indeed unexpected.
"Then she's gone, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Li asked.
"Go and chase her back to the ends of the earth."
Xiao Yan's tone was very firm.
"What about the other girls? What are you going to do?"
Xiao Li asked again, this question seemed a bit sharp.
"When I find her, I will pay them my whole life."
"Ho--"
Xiao Li couldn't help but smile, "Well, I won't say that I am very responsible, but I have a certain spirit of speaking my mind."
"However, Xiao Yanzi, this world is very big, very big. If you look for it, both time and space will become invisible barriers. You have to learn to accept this cruel reality. Sometimes what you find may not be what you want."
Xiao Li's words are tantamount to pouring cold water on Xiao Yan, but they are also a reminder to his family.
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask, "How come the second brother suddenly likes to talk about truth as much as the eldest brother?"
"What's wrong? You don't like hearing it?"
Xiao Li smiled helplessly, "If you don't like to hear it, then don't like it. I can't imitate your elder brother. As for me being so old-fashioned, I don't mean to throw cold water on you... Let's put it this way, your elder brother and the second brother didn't particularly want to establish a mercenary group in Tagor Desert at the beginning. After all, you know what the environment is like in that place, but since they have already stayed, there is nothing we can do."
Xiao Yan listened and just nodded silently, but suddenly he couldn't help but raise his head after hearing Tagor Desert.
"By the way, second brother, why is it that you are here this time and not someone else? Where is the elder brother? Are you still at Tagor Desert?"
"There's no way. The most talented younger generation in the Xiao Clan are basically all in the Canaan Academy. The elders can't leave if something goes wrong in the family. Anyone else who comes to a place like Black-Corner Region that eats people without spitting out their bones is courting death, so I'm the only one who can come."
"Your elder brother and I are making Mo Tie Mercenary Group bigger and bigger now in Stone Desert City. As for our safety, there is no need to worry. Since Queen Medusa died in Dou Zong After the catastrophe, Snake-People Tribe is now much more at peace, and has rarely made any big moves in the past two years. Our mercenary group now spends less and less time fighting Snake-People. Instead, it has begun to work more as a trading escort."
Hearing the comfort in Xiao Li's tone, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he heard the second brother mention Snake-People Tribe, Xiao Yan couldn't help but said, "It would be good to have less fighting and disputes, but second brother, Queen Medusa is not dead, it's just that he is not Tagor Desert for a while."
Xiao Li was stunned. "Oh? Is there such a thing?"
"Well, I guess she will go back in about half a year. By then Tagor Desert... I guess it won't be very peaceful. The second brother and the eldest brother should be more careful."
Xiao Yan originally wanted to persuade the two brothers to just stay at Tagor Desert, it would be good to go home, but before he could say anything, he probably guessed that the two brothers would not give up their hard work and fellow brothers for so many years, so it was useless to persuade him.
It seems that he can only think of a solution here.
"Well, I understand. I'll tell my brother later."
Xiao Li nodded with a smile, then looked at everyone in the room, and couldn't help but sigh.
I thought that my father's hint was probably referring to his younger siblings, but I didn't expect that they all thought they were Xun'er... Sigh.
Xiao Li shook his head.
"What's wrong, second brother?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Let's go in and have some more drinks?"
"Forget it, after chatting for a while, the smell of alcohol has dissipated on its own, so I won't drink anymore. I'm not used to drinking too much wine."
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, and then ran Dou Qi to dispel the alcohol in the body.
After the banquet, Xiao Li naturally did not intend to delay Xiao Yan's return to practice, so he did not force the two of them to spend the night at the Outer Academy, but Xiao Yan was sober, but Xiao Xun'er was slightly drunk. He could only lean on Xiao Yan slightly and stagger up to Gryphon.
"Okay, Xun'er, let's go back."
Because he was really worried that Xun'er would not be able to catch himself and fall from the sky later, Xiao Yan could only hold Xun'er in one hand and control Gryphon to fly back to the Inner Academy.
