Xiao Yan was slightly startled, not knowing what to say.
When the moonlight fell on the clean but too empty courtyard, it illuminated most of the courtyard as usual. It was different from the windows he would open on weekdays, but tonight was obviously different from the past.
When the beautiful figure in a plain skirt stood quietly in the center of the courtyard, the soft and cold moonlight lit up the plain clothes on her body, like a frost-colored gauze, covering her figure from head to toe.
Xiao Yan stopped unknowingly and just stood outside the door and stared blankly.
The frost-colored hair was gently stroking in front of his eyes with the gentle wind, as if even the wind and the moon were taking pity on her.
Xiao Yan naturally knew that when he saw Wan Guniang, she had naturally noticed his arrival.
However, he still couldn't help but hold on to a little bit of luck.
He just watched silently, letting time pass with the clouds above his head that occasionally obscured the moonlight.
After a while, her voice came faintly.
"What's wrong? You didn't say a word when you came back. You just stood there stupidly."
Turning around slowly, the face that could dim all flowers and eclipse its youth was revealed under the cold moonlight. Yao Wan stepped on the smooth and cool bluestone bricks under his feet, moved lightly on lotus steps, and walked slowly.
"Well... don't you see Wan Guniang here? I'm afraid of disturbing you..."
Xiao Yan came back to his senses, smiled coquettishly, and found an excuse that didn't look very convincing.
"Afraid of disturbing me? When you run towards me again and again on weekdays, you never say you are afraid of disturbing me."
Yao Wan smiled and shook her head. She was too lazy to inquire into Xiao Yan's true thoughts.
Xiao Yan was slightly embarrassed by this, but what worried him more now was not this, but what Wan Guniang wanted to do with him this night.
After all, if Wan Guniang took the initiative to find him, it must be something important, otherwise he wouldn't come to him at night.
"Wan Guniang Do you want to come in and sit down? I'll make you tea."
Although they are friends, the proper greetings are naturally indispensable, Xiao Yan said accordingly.
"Making tea? Have you ever been polite to me?"
Yao Wan paused after hearing this, but couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Although we are friends, we can't say that the way we should treat guests is just polite, right?"
"Rather, you've helped me so much, what's the point of making an extra cup of tea for you now?"
"Well, that's true. Let me drink you a cup of tea."
Yao Wan didn't show any pretense, so he took the initiative to open the door and walked into Xiao Yan's room.
Although it was not the first time for her to come to Xiao Yan's room, compared to Xiao Yan who always visited her guest room every now and then, the number of times she came to Xiao Yan's room was really not that many.
After all, she is Daughter's Body, and she still knows the most basic sense of propriety.
What's more, Xiao Yan herself has some reasons for not marrying He Tiao. She doesn't want to end up having an unclear relationship with this guy, and then she will have a lot of fun.
After entering the room, Xiao Yan took out the Tea Leaves that had been kept in his room. Although it was only a necessary thing for the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan himself did not have the habit of drinking tea on weekdays. It was really rare for him to take out this can of Tea Leaves.
After scattering Tea Leaves into the teacup, he walked out and took a pot of well water.
Then he directly lit his Netherworld Poison Flame. The beating deep purple flame had not yet touched the pot of water. Not long after, steaming steam came out of the tea cup.
The fire attribute Dou Zhe probably has this benefit, and there is no need for fire on weekdays. What's more, Xiao Yan also successfully conquered Heavenly Flames.
Looking at Xiao Yan's movements, Yao Wan couldn't help but shake his head.
"In so many years, I'm afraid you are the first to use Heavenly Flames to boil water and make tea."
"Who knows."
Xiao Yan smiled, filled up the tea and pushed the tea cup in front of Yao Wan: "To put it this way, Wan Guniang is the first person to drink the tea brewed by Heavenly Flames."
"Then I'm really flattered."
With a joke on his lips, Yao Wan took a sip of the tea that had been blown cold by him.
"Speaking of which, Wan Guniang, why are you looking for me so late at night? What happened?"
After the joke was over, Xiao Yan's attention naturally focused on the business.
After all, Wan Guniang is not the kind of person who comes for a walk when he has nothing to do.
"..."
Yao Wan After hearing this, he silently put down the tea cup in his hand.
When Xiao Yan saw this, he actually had some guesses in his mind, but he wasn't sure yet, so naturally he couldn't take the initiative to bring it up.
After a long while, Yao Wan said, "... I'm ready to leave."
"—Are you leaving?"
Even though she had some vague guesses in her mind, when these words actually came out of her mouth, Xiao Yan felt an unexpected sense of dislocation in her heart.
"Yeah."
Yao Wan nodded slightly.
"Why?... Because you are going back?"
Xiao Yan felt an emotion that he didn't know how to describe. He just felt a little lost and not at ease.
"Not really. It's just that now, there's nothing I can do to help you. In that case, it's better to go out for a walk."
The slender white fingertips gently touched a drop of tea, and the wet fingertips moistened the rim of the tea cup. Yao Wan's fingertips slowly rubbed along the rim of the cup and said.
"... That's it."
Xiao Yan understood in his heart and just sighed softly. He knew very well that Wan Guniang probably couldn't stay.
She has made up her mind to leave, so naturally she cannot stay by just talking.
As for what Wan Guniang said, his current practice has indeed entered a stage of steady development. After all, the benefits brought by Heavenly Flames are of great benefit to him, but it will also take some time to digest.
Otherwise, Wan Guniang and the teacher would not agree to let him stay in Wutan City to refine the medicine with peace of mind, and then go out to practice after a while.
"Just don't worry too much about me. Although I leave this time, I probably won't come back to the Xiao Clan again in the future, but I don't say that this departure means goodbye forever. When you are almost experienced, you and I will meet again."
Yao Wan then stood up from the guest seat and explained with a smile.
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Naturally, he knew the meaning of Wan Guniang's words very clearly.
It's just that he was still a little unprepared for Wan Guniang's arrival tonight and his sudden farewell.
"Finally, before leaving."
Yao Wan made a move with his bare hands, and the Storage Ring on his jade finger flashed past a Streaking Light, from which nearly ten simple and weird Scrolls flew out. It's just that these Scrolls quickly lost their original luster after leaving Yao Wan's Storage Ring, and then fell scattered on the ground, scattered everywhere.
