The people here were different from other places. Even though it was the New Year, their faces were full of sighs and disappointment. Many people unconsciously walked to the side of the big pit left behind after Grandma Shi moved away to take a look.
There were no smiles on their faces, only sighs.
They remembered that when Grandma Shi was here, the water, electricity, heating, and other facilities here were the best in the city, and the supply was the most timely …
But how did the people living here treat the widow of a martyr?
Now, she had moved away …
All the special treatment here had also moved away with her …
"If you knew this would happen, why did you …"
"She's just a lonely old lady. So what if you treated her nicely? Did she lose a few pieces of meat? "
"Even if you showed a little bit of kindness, how could it end up like this?"
"Why did you have to make the whole community feel like they were being raised by a stepmother … When the young people in the community went out to look for jobs, when they heard that they were from this community, they were not hired … No matter how high their education was, they were not hired. Because … their character was not good enough! "
"What kind of sin did you commit?"
Everyone's faces were ashen, and they were numbly pasting the New Year couplets. They looked at their originally beautiful and comfortable houses that were now in ruins, and then looked at the wooden house that they were living in now … It was leaking from time to time …
Many people were really regretting it so much that their intestines were swollen.
Zuo Xiaoduo stood quietly in front of Grandma Shi's old house, as if he was seeing the stubborn old lady again.
He closed the door with a bang.
The scene where the wind and rain were all shut outside the door.
"If I hadn't urged Grandma Shi to move away, she would have been living here, and she might not have died …"
Zuo Xiaoduo was lost in thought.
But there was no answer to this question.
Many people noticed Zuo Xiaoduo, and some people recognized that this child used to visit the lonely old lady often …
So, someone came up to him, "Young man, you …"
They were eagerly pleading, and their eyes were pleading, begging Zuo Xiaoduo to speak up so that they could receive the care and repair they deserved earlier.
Zuo Xiaoduo turned a deaf ear, and he was still looking at the original traces in a daze.
"It's the New Year … Happy New Year …" Zuo Xiaoduo bowed deeply.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
Behind him, there were so many people begging and pleading, but Zuo Xiaoduo did not seem to hear a single word.
Even the look in his eyes did not change in the slightest.
What does his death have to do with me?
I'm not a saint, nor am I a good person.
Just as you are regretting, if you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?
As he walked, he looked at Feng Hai, and for some reason, his soul trembled.
Looking at the city that was immersed in the New Year atmosphere, he seemed to feel that his mentality was slowly changing …
It was a very, very strange feeling. It was as if his entire spirit had been pulled out of this space. He was standing high up in the sky, looking down at all the living beings below. However, his body was incompatible with them, and he couldn't blend in no matter what …
Zuo Xiaoduo knew that this state was very abnormal, but he could not focus his attention.
After a long while, he was still in a subtle state of floating and dreamy feeling.
In the corner, a grey-robed old man couldn't help but be shocked.
"Is this … stirring up one's mind? Soul rebirth? This … this is not a state that only geniuses who have advanced to the late stage of the God Reining State, or even to the Returning Mystery State, can develop … He's only at the Hua Yun stage, how can his soul power be so strong? Not good, how can a Hua Yun's sea of consciousness control a soul like Si Peiran's … "
The grey-robed old man's Qi sank into his dantian, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Tut!"
With a light rebuke, a surge of spiritual consciousness wrapped in soul power suddenly exploded in Zuo Xiaoduo's ears. Then, Zuo Xiaoduo's scattered spiritual consciousness, which was about to explode, quickly returned to his sea of consciousness.
In his sea of consciousness, Bai and Jiu were trembling in fear. They sank into the sea of vitality and pretended to be dead.
Just now, it was the two of them who had absorbed the spiritual consciousness power and repeatedly cultivated.
Bai spat it out to Jiu, and Jiu spat it out to Bai. Every time they exchanged, the power became purer.
However, this time, when Little Jiu spat it out, she suddenly realized that there was a faint shadow of a sword beside her that was secretly intercepting the energy. How could she not know that someone was stealing her benefits? She was furious and wanted to step forward to fight.
And this nameless action caused the power that Jiu and Bai were swallowing to be unbalanced. The unbalanced power, because it had accumulated too much power, exploded in an instant, and almost blew up Zuo Xiaoduo's sea of consciousness …
If it wasn't for the fact that the gray-robed old man was experienced and knowledgeable enough to instantly judge the situation and burst out his own Spiritual Energy to help, Zuo Xiaoduo would have to pay the price of being muddle-headed for half a day at the very least. His Sea of Consciousness might even be damaged and would require a lot of effort to recover...
After all, the spiritual consciousness of an innate spiritual treasure was not to be underestimated …
Of course, the situation had changed again. Because of this change, the small amount of spiritual consciousness power that Bai and Jiu had leaked out had become Zuo Xiaoduo's. It could be said that it was a blessing in disguise …
But the reason and the final pros and cons, whether it was Bai, Jiu, Zuo Xiaoduo, or the grey-robed old man, all of them only knew what they were involved in. None of them knew the whole picture!
In the next moment, Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly felt a burst of clarity. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly had a subtle feeling that he had returned to the human world.
It was a wonderful feeling.
Everything in front of him seemed to have gone from a complete blur to ten thousand percent clear.
Suddenly, he jumped high and laughed. "It's the New Year!"
Before his voice died away, he had already run away.
The grey-robed old man wanted to say a few words to him, but he saw the kid run away without a trace …
He couldn't help but scratch his head and smile. "Yes, it's the New Year … It's the New Year again …"
He raised his head and looked at the sky. Too many memories flashed in his eyes.
"It's … the New Year again …"
After a long, long time, he caught up with him again.
Zuo Xiaoduo ran all the way back to the villa, but he didn't go home. Instead, he ran to Ye Changqing's house to pay his New Year's greetings. Unfortunately, Ye Changqing wasn't home. He then ran to Wen Xingtian's place, but he wasn't there either. Zuo Xiaoduo couldn't help but feel puzzled.
It was New Year's Eve. Why were they all missing?
Zuo Xiaoduo didn't believe it and called Wen Xingtian. Only then did he know that Wen Xingtian and his brothers had taken advantage of the holiday to visit the graves of their fallen brothers.
While he was at it, he would go to the Tomb of the Heroic Souls and have a drink with his brothers.
Zuo Xiaoduo naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to disturb the gathering of his old brothers. After thinking about it, he called Li Chenglong and asked about the situation of Xiang Chong and Zhan Xuejun. Li Chenglong replied that nothing unusual had happened. Everyone was celebrating the New Year at the Xiang family's house. They gathered together happily and harmoniously.
Li Chenglong then asked Zuo Xiaoduo if he was coming. As soon as he opened his mouth, another group of people took over the phone and invited Zuo Xiaoduo to play poker. Then Li Chenglong anxiously shouted from the side, "He can come, but he doesn't play poker … After playing once, there will only be a few cards left. He can pocket more than two hundred cards and keep more than a hundred for cheating …"
Everyone burst into laughter at once. They laughed and scolded that there was actually such a shameless person in the world.
Zuo Xiaoduo cursed loudly, "Li Chenglong, you're ruining my reputation. Just you wait!"
Then he set off for the Xiang family's old house. After walking around the Xiang family's house, he found that the ancestor of the Xiang family, Xiang Kuangren, was indeed not there. As a result, the whole Xiang family's house had directly become a paradise for young people.
Zuo Xiaoduo didn't stay too long at the Xiang family's house. He went to the Gao family's house. Like before, he got up and left after a few minutes. Gao Qiao 'er knew that he had too many things to deal with, so she straightforwardly asked him if he wanted her to help him deal with them.
Zuo Xiaoduo thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it after the tenth of the New Year." Before and after the New Year, the most important thing was to spend time together.
Even for martial artists who had entered the path of cultivation, festivals were still very, very important things. Because … at any time, they might lie cold in Jianghu or be shattered and scattered on the battlefield …
Therefore, every festival was very precious. Zuo Xiaoduo didn't want to ruin it.
After leaving the Gao family's house, he ran into Wu Yunhai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Wu Yunhai and his brother stood at the entrance of the street, covered in falling snow. They seemed to be waiting for Zuo Xiaoduo to come out.
"Class Monitor Zuo, do you want to come to my house and have a chat? Today is the first day of the New Year. Let's have some fun and relax. "
Wu Yunhai appeared very enthusiastic, expectant, and … nervous.
Since the big incident in the Starry Mountains, the Wu family had no chance to mend their relationship with Zuo Xiaoduo. Since then, Zuo Xiaoduo's strength and status had soared to the highest heavens like a comet. They had no chance to touch him again!
Gao Qiao 'er, Li Chenglong, and the others beside Zuo Xiaoduo were like an iron wall, blocking off all the unintentional guests.
Even if the Wu family wanted to make do, there was no chance.
Even today, Wu Yunhai had to mentally prepare himself and muster up his courage. The entire Wu family was not in the mood to celebrate the New Year. They were all waiting for the result of this invitation.
Zuo Xiaoduo said apologetically, "I have something to do. Next time. Next time, for sure. "
He laughed and said, "Happy New Year!"
They brushed past each other and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye. Wu Yunhai wanted to turn around and say something, but Zuo Xiaoduo had already leaped into the air and turned into a stream of light. He opened the space barrier and disappeared without a trace.
Wu Yunhai's eyes instantly turned gloomy.
He knew very well that the Wu family would never be able to enter Zuo Xiaoduo's sight again.
Originally, their relationship had been mended. There was even a high chance that they could turn enemies into friends like the Gao family. Then, they could deepen their cooperation and ride on this ride to soar to the heavens.
But now, it was completely impossible.
This also meant that the Wu family's title as one of the top families in Fenghai would not last long!
Wu Yunhai was feeling dejected when he suddenly saw Gao Qiao 'er walk out of the Gao family's gate. When she saw Wu Yunhai and the others, she could not help but smile. "Wu Yunhai? Why are you here on the first day of the New Year? "
Wu Yunhai laughed bitterly. He took two steps forward and said softly, "Sister Qiao 'er, I really envy you."
Gao Qiao 'er smiled sweetly and said, "It's nothing more than earning a living. What's there to be envious about?"
Wu Yunhai smiled. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Sister Qiao 'er … Do you think the Wu family still has a chance?"
Gao Qiao 'er smiled. "It's possible. Everything is possible!"
Wu Yunhai took a deep breath and said, "Sister Qiao 'er, this … I have a suggestion. I wonder if you'd like to hear it?"
Gao Qiao 'er said, "It's the New Year. What suggestion … Haha, there are still many things to do at home. I'll go in now …"
Gao Qiao 'er clearly did not want to hear it.
However, Wu Yunhai did not want to let go of this last chance. He took a step forward and said almost pleadingly, "Sister Qiao 'er, I know that you're now by Zuo's side and handling many things. You're already like a housekeeper … The Wu family does not ask to be like the Gao family. However, if Sister Qiao' er has any needs, or if you're too busy, we can help you. We won't dare to disobey your orders."
Wu Yunhai paused and said, "We'll help for free. No questions asked!"
Gao Qiao 'er's eyes focused. She then smiled and said, "Yunhai, you're very considerate. However, look at the Gao family. There are still many people who are idling around … There's really not much to do … With so many idlers, how can there be a time when we're too busy?"
Wu Yunhai said with a miserable expression, "Sister Qiao 'er, can't you give me a chance?"
Gao Qiao 'er hesitated and sighed softly. She said, "Yunhai, you've already said so much today. I won't hide anything from you. Do you think … I have that kind of weight by Zuo's side? That I can just casually add another family?
"If the Gao family uses Zuo's influence to take in other families, then I, Gao Qiao 'er … will have a chance in the future?"
"You've found the wrong person to ask for my help!"
Gao Qiao 'er narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "Zuo's cake is indeed delicious and huge. However, the Gao family doesn't have such a good appetite. We don't even have the guts to eat it. If the Wu family wants to eat it … at least the Gao family can't do anything about it!"
Wu Yunhai's expression became even uglier. "Sister Qiao 'er, you're Zuo's favorite. If even you can't do anything, then what hope does the Wu family have? You …"
A sharp light flashed in Gao Qiao 'er's eyes. She smiled faintly and said, "Yunhai, you really think too highly of a weak woman like me. I'm not belittling myself by calling myself a weak woman. In our small team, I'm really a weak woman. There's no one weaker than me. How can I have any relationship with the most popular person? If you insist on talking about the most popular person, then in the entire Fenghai, there's only one person who can help you."
"Who?"
"Li Chenglong."
Gao Qiao 'er waved her hand and went back. "Happy New Year."
Wu Yunhai smiled bitterly. "Happy New Year."
He watched Gao Qiao 'er go back.
"Then we'll go find Li Chenglong?" Beside him, another Wu family disciple said.
"No need. Gao Qiao 'er has completely rejected our alliance. There's no possibility of finding Li Chenglong."
Wu Yunhai sighed softly. "Li Chenglong hasn't even joined the Xiang family. How can he take care of the Wu family? This is a dead end. If we force it, not only will we offend Li Chenglong, Zuo Xiaoduo, but we'll also offend the Xiang family. Now that the Wu family is in danger, if we offend them again, we'll really be destroyed. "
"Gao Qiao 'er wants the Wu family to die …"
"Sigh …"
He sighed deeply, but he still couldn't figure it out.
At the Starlight Mountain Range, the family had clearly made the move to establish a good relationship. Why did they suddenly hesitate and shrink back at that critical moment?
What a critical juncture it was!
At the same time, it was also the best opportunity for Zuo Xiaoduo to die and the time when he needed help the most!
The result now was that the Gao family seized this opportunity, but the Wu family didn't.
Originally, the Gao family and the Wu family had the same status in Fenghai. They both belonged to the middle class families. But now, how long had it been?
The Gao family had already become the top family in Fenghai.
The Wu family was not only in the same place, but was also gradually declining. The gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.
Now, even if he sent the Wu family to the Gao family's door, Gao Qiao 'er wouldn't even bother to do so!
"One wrong step, all wrong steps!"
Wu Yunhai was indescribably depressed.
Those who followed Zuo Xiaoduo, Li Chenglong, Gao Qiao 'er, and the others, were said to have broken through to the God Reining Realm. Although Xiang Chong and Xiang Bing were slightly weaker, they were still at the peak of the Cloud Transformation Realm. They were only one step away from breaking through.
Because they were all in the state of suppressing their true essence. Compared to ordinary peak of the Cloud Transformation Realm who couldn't break through, it was only a matter of a thought for them to break through.
And he … was still only at the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm!
Clearly, not long ago, he was still at the same level as them. How long had it been, and he couldn't even catch up to them?
Once the gap widened, would it only get bigger and bigger?
Looking at the door of the Gao family, Wu Yunhai sighed bitterly and turned to leave.
He knew that Gao Qiao 'er must be looking at him from the door with the gaze of a victor.
Who asked him to be a loser? That was true!
However, Wu Yunhai still thought too highly of himself. Gao Qiao 'er didn't look at Wu Yunhai from the door.
To Gao Qiao 'er, the Wu family was really an existence not worth her attention. Especially after receiving the benefits from the Moon Star Monarch, Gao Qiao' er felt like she had been reborn. Her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. She, who was at the peak of the Cloud Transformation Realm, actually suppressed it to seven times and broke through to the God Reining Realm!
"Miss, the Wu family came to seek refuge?"
"Yes."
"… You didn't accept them?"
"What the Wu family did in the past, to Zuo, is no different from a betrayal. Zuo looks like he doesn't care about anything … but I'm sure that as long as I accept the Wu family as a subordinate family of the Gao family, then our Gao family will be removed from the center of the group and never be able to rise again. "
Gao Qiao 'er said indifferently, "Why, you can't bear to?"
"Bear! Bear! " This person was Gao Qiao 'er's uncle. At this moment, Gao Qiao' er's glare scared him into nodding his head.
"From now on, no one in the Gao family is allowed to contact the Wu family!"
Gao Qiao 'er snorted and said indifferently, "Third uncle, if you do something like inviting a wolf into the house again, then go to the countryside to accompany grandfather!"
After saying that, she turned and left without waiting for her third uncle to reply.
Behind her, a handsome middle-aged man kept wiping his sweat.
…
Zuo Xiaoduo rushed all the way to Phoenix City!
It's the new year!
I want to go home!
On the way, he received a call from Zuo Xiaonian. Zuo Xiaonian's voice was tinged with guilt. "Doggy, I just realized that today is the first day of the New Year … Do you want me to go back and accompany you?"
"No need, you just came to the capital. Why are you running back and forth?" It was rare for Zuo Xiaoduo to reject her warmth. He chuckled and said, "I'm very happy here. Haven't you felt the festive and lively atmosphere of the New Year?"
"Then you have to be good. Be good and don't cry."
"You're the one crying! Of course you're crying! Nian Nian Cat, I can see your tears, hahaha … "
"Doggy!!!"
Zuo Xiaonian hung up in exasperation, then smiled and wiped the tears from her face.
Today is the first day of the New Year … Dad, Mom, Nian Nian misses you so much …
Where's my red packet …
Hmm, this doggy is really heartless. He actually said that he's happy. I'll remember this and settle it with him the next time I see him …
…
Zuo Xiaoduo traveled across the mountains and rivers as he used his fastest speed to rush back to Phoenix City like a wisp of smoke.
He saw the house he had lived in for seventeen years.
He took out the key with a cute kitten hanging from his ring, opened the door, and walked in.
The whole house was silent, and it was out of place with the bustling atmosphere outside.
Zuo Xiaoduo sat quietly in his parents' room for a while, then ran out. He bought Spring Festival couplets, the Chinese character for 'Fu', and many other things for the New Year. When he got home, he took off the couplets from last year and put the new couplets on them. The whole house was instantly filled with a festive atmosphere.
Then, he lit the firecrackers he just bought outside the neighborhood. It was really a grand display.
He jumped and jumped, covering his ears and shouting.
"It's the New Year! It's the New Year! It's the New Year! Hahaha … "
Many people poked their heads out of the windows and looked at the crazy teenager below. It was a noisy atmosphere, but it made people feel an inexplicable sense of loneliness and silence.
He was like a person who walked further and further away, but stubbornly expressed that he had never left, that he was always here, that he was always that teenager!
Some people felt that the commotion was too loud and noisy, so they directly called the police.
However, they soon realized that the child who had been jumping and jumping down below, the seemingly energetic youth, had already disappeared …
…
Zuo Xiaoduo came to Hu Ruoyun's house and solemnly and respectfully knocked on the door.
Hu Ruoyun opened the door and was shocked to see Zuo Xiaoduo!
"Xiao Duo!?" Hu Ruoyun's voice changed in surprise. "Why are you here? Quick, come in! "
Zuo Xiaoduo chuckled. "Aren't I here to give you a New Year's greeting?"
As he spoke, piles of gifts were piled out as if he was performing a magic trick.
Hu Ruoyun was busy tidying up and complaining endlessly, scolding Zuo Xiaoduo for being wasteful. Zuo Xiaoduo just chuckled and continued to take out gifts. It was not until now that he suddenly felt that his wandering and lonely heart had calmed down.
The teacher in front of him was the person who treated him the most kindly and had no desire for profit. Apart from his parents and sister Zuo Xiaoduo, Hu Ruoyun was the closest person to Zuo Xiaoduo that he could not let go of. No one could compare!
Li Changjiang came out of the room and chatted with Zuo Xiaoduo.
Hu Ruoyun did not care about the gifts on the floor. She was so excited that she felt like she was going to explode and cook.
Zuo Xiaoduo naturally had a sumptuous dinner here.
All the "most expensive" dishes that might not even appear during the New Year were all placed on the table after Hu Ruoyun's preparation.
"Eat more!"
"Don't drink too much!"
"Li Changjiang, you're persuading him to drink again! Xiao Duo is still a child! Why can't you teach him something better? "Hu Ruoyun said coldly.
"Eat this, Xiao Duo. Eat this … Do you still want to eat leek pancakes? You can't make pancakes during the first lunar month. You can eat them after the first lunar month. Remember, don't eat sesame seed pancakes. Don't eat any pancakes. Remember? "
"This is a tradition passed down from ancient times … This kind of thing that has been fried over and over again is not to be eaten until the fifteenth of the first lunar month … Do you understand? We have to avoid this kind of torture. Well, when you have your own family in the future, don't forget this during the New Year. You must remember it. "
"Yes, yes, I will remember."
Zuo Xiaoduo ate until his mouth was full of oil. He drank glass after glass of wine into his stomach.
While Hu Ruoyun kept rolling her eyes and nagging, he raised his glass with Li Changjiang.
Then … Li Changjiang, who had been scolded for persuading him to drink, was the first to get drunk.
Zuo Xiaoduo was fine, but Bai's face didn't even blush.
"You're so useless!" Hu Ruoyun had a new topic. "You can't drink so much, but you still want to show off … You can't even accompany Xiao Duo to his heart's content. What can you do …"
Li Changjiang, who was like a pile of mud, said with his last clear mind, "Your double standards are really, really …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already fallen asleep and lost consciousness.
"Hahahaha …" Zuo Xiaoduo laughed happily.
Zuo Xiaoduo stayed until eleven o 'clock in the evening. Only then did he bid farewell to Hu Ruoyun.
Hu Ruoyun knew that Zuo Xiaoduo had a home in Phoenix City. It was the New Year, and there was no reason for him to stay overnight. But she still gave him a few words of warning and let him go.
Zuo Xiaoduo shook his head and forced out the smell of alcohol.
Then, he divided the things he had brought into hundreds of portions.
Stealthily, he circled around Phoenix City and secretly sent a copy to the families of those who had sacrificed themselves in the Phoenix Pulse Spirit.
Many people only discovered the next morning that there was a thick pile of money on their dining table. There were also cultivation resources that exuded spiritual energy. There were also New Year's goods for the New Year, such as tobacco, wine, sugar, and tea of the highest quality.
Then, there was a note.
"Happy New Year!"
Ten minutes past two in the morning.
Zuo Xiaoduo went to Phoenix Head Cemetery alone and came to He Yuanyue's tomb.
In front of the tombstone, the incense and candles were still burning. Smoke was still rising in spirals. He didn't know who had just left.
"Grandma He, Old Principal … I'm about to break through to the God Reining Realm."
Zuo Xiaoduo lit the paper money and fiddled with it carefully. The flame grew bigger and bigger.
"Long Yusheng, Wanli Xiu, Yu Moyan, Li Chenglong, Li Changming, these guys are all doing well now … Don't worry, the students from Second High are all very promising. If anyone dares to disobey, I'll wake him up!"
In the wooden house next to him, there was a creak and Sister Lan walked out.
"Xiao Duo, why are you back?" It had been a long time since they last met. Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly found that Sister Lan seemed to have aged a lot. Her originally black hair was now gray.
"Aunt Lan, it's the New Year. You didn't go back to visit?" Zuo Xiaoduo said.
"It's the New Year. I was afraid that your Grandma He would be even more lonely, so I stayed to accompany her!" Sister Lan smiled faintly. "How are you now?"
The two chatted for a while.
It was already close to dawn. The night was about to end.
Zuo Xiaoduo was about to leave.
Before he left, he said, "Professor Lan, I don't think you'll be here much longer. If one day you see a Red Spider Lily growing on Grandma He's grave … the day it blooms will be the day you leave. "
Sister Lan's eyes lit up. She looked up. "Xiao Duo, you mean …?"
"Why didn't I say anything?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "That's all you need to know."
Sister Lan took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Can I still find her?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "Even if you find her, she won't be He Yuanyue anymore."
The light in Sister Lan's eyes dimmed. "Then I'd like to see."
"When the time comes … we'll see."
Zuo Xiaoduo used a drop of destiny on Sister Lan to confirm her condition. He wasn't worried. She would be safe for at least three months.
"I'm leaving."
"Xiao Duo, take care."
Ζ
Zuo Xiaoduo returned to where the Meng Conglomerate's headquarters used to be. Now it was Phoenix City's scenic spot, the center of the lake. Finally, he left without a sound.
He returned to Fenghai without a word.
The trip back and forth made Zuo Xiaoduo feel like he'd grown up a lot.
His state of mind was calmer than before.
Although he was still the same boy!
"Aiyayaya … growing up is so annoying …"
Zuo Xiaoduo pulled at his hair and screamed as he flew through the air.
Behind him, the grey-robed old man kept following him. With his extraordinary cultivation, he naturally did not have to worry about being discovered by Zuo Xiaoduo. He followed Zuo Xiaoduo all the way home, saw him fooling around, saw him drinking, saw him setting off firecrackers, saw him sweeping the tombs, saw him sending New Year goods and gifts to many people …
The fondness in the old man's eyes grew stronger and stronger.
"This little thing has a good temperament. It's just that he's too soft-hearted. It's a strength, but also a weakness."
"But overall, he's not bad."
"He's a good kid."
"But how could Zuo Changchang give birth to such a good son? He obviously got my daughter's excellent DNA! "
"Just look at this lousy name. What a lousy name! Zuo Changchang … Other than that long saber of yours, which part of you is long? "
"Legend has it that a person's name symbolizes something. If Zuo Changchang is a long saber, then what is Zuo Xiaoduo? Fortune, luck, benefits, treasures … Does he have something in common with Xiao Duo? "
"Speaking of which, this little guy's luck is pretty good too. He has so many treasures of the Mysterious Ice Soul. If the Ice Nether Witch saw them, she'd be so jealous that she'd die!"
"But his temperament is too pure. He still needs to be polished. If he's so soft-hearted, he'll definitely suffer in the future," the old man muttered as he touched his chin.
…
Zuo Xiaoduo was about to reach Fenghai when he suddenly sighed with emotion.
"New Year is so boring! So boring! "
Fortunately, he hadn't entered the city yet. Otherwise, his voice would have disturbed the peace and quiet again!
"Boring? Do you want to talk to someone? "A gloomy voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting someone's whining.
"Who's that?!"
Zuo Xiaoduo was startled!
With my current cultivation, I didn't even notice that someone was following me!
Oh my god!
That's so scary!
Looking back, he saw a gray-robed old man who looked to be about sixty or seventy years old. His body was slightly stooped, and his hair was slightly white. But overall, he still looked very tall, imposing, and burly.
However, the old man had a gloomy smile on his face. His eyes were gloomy, his face was gloomy, and his whole body was gloomy.
Zuo Xiaoduo's eyes focused on the gloomy smile on the old man's face.
"This person is definitely not a good person!" This was Zuo Xiaoduo's first thought.
Then, his second thought was, "I probably can't defeat this person."
Young Master Zuo, who had always planned before taking action and was extremely afraid of death, threw a Luck Point over. What the f * ck! Nothing?
Wouldn't that be much, much higher than me?!
"Judging from his appearance, he's 99% likely a high-level fighter from the Umno Alliance!"
Zuo Xiaoduo thought quickly and suddenly laughed. He stood with his left hand behind his back and his right hand pointing at the rolling mountains in front of him. He said with a smile, "Old man, it's fate that brought us together."
The old man tilted his head. "Oh?"
"Old man, look. Doesn't the mountain range in the distance look like a sleeping dragon from ancient times? It's majestic and imposing."
Zuo Xiaoduo sighed. He didn't wait for an answer and directly said, "Thinking back to the ancient times, how many almighty experts couldn't wake up after taking a wrong step? Especially during this New Year, I can't help but feel a lot more."
The old man was slightly surprised and said, "Oh?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said with melancholy, "At this moment, when I see this, I can't help but want to … recite a poem."
"Recite a poem?" The old man looked more and more confused.
Is there something wrong with my grandson's brain?
I clearly appeared with the aura of an enemy. One look and you can tell that I don't have good intentions. But after seeing me, you actually want to recite a poem?
What's wrong with your brain?
