Jia Lie Bi was silent for a long time.
He is weighing.
The fear Lu Heng gave him was immediate, but the threat from the Xiao Family was long-term.
Since the problem with Lu Heng has been settled with money, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke Miteer Auction House's people, you should be fine.
And Xiao Family must be suppressed.
"Okay."
Jia Lie Bi slammed the table, a fierce look flashed in his eyes,
"Then let's play with them! It's not his Xiao Family's turn to dominate this Wutan City market!"
The two old foxes looked at each other and smiled in the dim Secret Chamber, their smiles were a little bit catchy.
In the afternoon, the sun is just right.
Lu Heng is trying to incorporate a trace of Separating Fire Dou Qi into Azure Wood Dou Qi in the yard. That delicate sense of balance is extremely difficult to master, and it will explode if you are not careful.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
A gentle knock on the door interrupted his practice.
Lu Heng frowned and dispersed the unstable flames on his fingertips:
"Come in."
A personal maid from Ya Fei opened the door and walked in. The little girl lowered her head and said respectfully:
"Master Lu, there is a girl outside looking for you. She says her name is Xiao Yi Xian."
Lu Heng was startled, then he got out of bed and straightened out his slightly wrinkled gown:
"Take her to the front hall... no, bring her directly to the courtyard."
"Yes."
Not long after, a white figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
Today Xiao Yi Xian seems to have dressed up specially. Although she is still in the plain white dress, she has a light cyan belt around her waist, which makes her waist look extra slender.
Her hair was also tied into a delicate bun, with the wooden hairpin that Lu Heng bought for her yesterday.
It's just that her face looked a little hesitant. She stood at the door, twisting her clothes with her fingers, and didn't step in.
Lu Heng smiled, walked over and opened the courtyard door. "Why are you standing there? Becoming a door god?"
Xiao Yi Xian Being interrupted by him, the tension immediately dissipated a lot.
She raised her head, looked at Lu Heng with her clear eyes, and forced a smile:
"I'm afraid of disturbing your practice."
"Are you meeting me like this?" Lu Heng stepped aside and said, "Come in and sit down. Sister Ya Fei was given some fresh fruits."
In the attic not far away, Ya Fei was leaning on the railing, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at the scene below through the swaying leaves.
"Is this the Xiao Yi Xian?"
Ya Fei took a sip of wine and his eyes stayed on Xiao Yi Xian for a few seconds.
Although he is dressed simply, his ethereal temperament is indeed rare.
Especially those eyes, as clean as a pool of spring water, without any calculation or greed.
"He is a clean person."
Ya Fei chuckled, and the trace of scrutiny in his eyes slowly dissipated,
"She doesn't look like the kind of scheming fox. Since my brother likes it, let him be."
Ya Fei turned around and went back to the room and stopped looking. She was a smart woman and knew when to hold on and when to let go.
In the yard.
Lu Heng peeled an orange for Xiao Yi Xian and handed it to her:
"Why are you here so suddenly? Are the people from the Jia Lie Family looking for trouble again?"
"No."
Xiao Yi Xian took the orange but didn't eat it. He just held it in his hand and felt the slightly cool touch.
"After yesterday, I didn't see many Jia Lie Family people on the street. I heard they were hiding at home and didn't dare to come out."
"That's good." Lu Heng leaned on the back of the chair and basked in the sun lazily, "Then why are you here today..."
Xiao Yi Xian was silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and took a deep breath. "I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Lu Heng The smile on his face froze slightly and he sat up straight:
"Goodbye? Are you leaving?"
"Hmm."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded, not daring to look into Lu Heng's eyes, and looked down at the orange in his hand.
"I'm going back to Green Mountain Town. All the orders for Boss Yao have been negotiated. There are still many things to deal with at the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion, and... I have stayed at Wutan City long enough."
Lu Heng looked at her and frowned slightly:
"So urgent? The Jia Lie Family matter has just calmed down. It's not too late for you to play at Wutan City for a few days before leaving. And..."
Lu Heng paused and his tone became a little serious:
"If you want, you can stay at Miteer Auction House.
No one dares to bully you here."
This is a promise and a retention.
Xiao Yi Xian's heart trembled suddenly.
Stay with Lu Heng?
This idea was like a seed that took root and sprouted in her heart instantly.
If he was here, wouldn't I have to face those unknown fears alone?
Can I be protected like yesterday?
But the next second, reason was like a basin of cold water, pouring this thought to the core.
Her physique...
Although Xiao Yi Xian doesn't know what his physique is, once it breaks out, Xiao Yi Xian doesn't dare to recall it.
Staying with Lu Heng will only harm him.
Lu Heng has a bright future, he is a genius Dou Master, but he... is just a disaster that may turn into poison at any time.
"No need."
Xiao Yi Xian raised his head with a somewhat forced smile on his face,
"I still prefer Green Mountain Town. Although it is remote, it is comfortable. Moreover, I am a healer. Only there can I save more people."
Lu Heng looked into Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, and there was a hint of sadness and determination hidden in those originally clear eyes.
Lu Heng How can you not understand?
He knew Xiao Yi Xian's life experience, and naturally he also knew what she was worried about.
Woe Poison Physique!
Fortunately, <Seven-Colored Poison Scripture> has been obtained by Lu Heng. After Xiao Yi Xian, the poisonous body will not explode faster. As long as the plot is followed, Lu Heng is confident that he will find a second way to solve Woe Poison Physique after this year.
And the source of confidence is--
Book of Destiny!
Thinking of this, Lu Heng didn't insist anymore.
He stretched out his hand, but this time Xiao Yi Xian didn't hide.
Lu Heng's big hand covered her small hand, and the warmth from the palm spread through the skin.
"Since you have decided, I won't stop you."
Lu Heng's voice is very soft, but extremely firm,
"But remember, if you encounter any trouble that cannot be solved in the future, or if that Mr. Yao dares to bully you, come Wutan City Miteer Auction House and I will protect you."
"Hmm."
Xiao Yi Xian felt his nose was a little sore and nodded vigorously.
"When are you leaving?"
"The caravan will arrive early tomorrow morning."
"Then I'll send it to you."
"No need."
Xiao Yi Xian withdrew her hand and stood up. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would really be reluctant to leave.
"I don't like the parting scene. You... you should practice well."
After saying that, she put the orange she had been reluctant to eat on the table, turned around and walked out, walking a little fast, as if she was running away.
Lu Heng watched her disappear at the entrance of the hospital, but did not catch up with her.
The oranges on the table still carry the residual warmth of her palms.
"This girl..."
Lu Heng picked up the orange, peeled off a piece and put it in his mouth.
So sour.
