Chapter 138: Ah Lan likes you!

  "There's another reason!" Xiao Yun paused for a moment before continuing, "I plan to rest for two more days and then leave Tongtian Mountain."

  "Are you going back to Dashu?" Ye Bai asked.

  Xiao Yun forced a smile and said, "After all, this isn't my home!"

  "As long as you're willing to stay, this is your home!" Ye Bai said.

  Xiao Yun shook his head and said firmly, "Senior, there's no need to say more. I must go back."

  Seeing Xiao Yun being so resolute, Ye Bai could only sigh in his heart, and the atmosphere between them became somewhat awkward and silent.

  Tongtian Village is a great place, isolated from the world, with clear mountains and beautiful water. Xiaoyun's heart was willing to stay, but he knew that if he wanted to become stronger and find White Feather to avenge his grievances, he had to go out and make a name for himself.

  Moreover, after all, he is still considered a member of the Tianyin Sect. At least, Boya Mountain is Xiao Yun's home in this world. When he was taken away by the demon eagle, he didn't know what happened to Meng Xiaobao and the others later. In any case, he had to go back and take a look before he could feel at ease. Incidentally, he also wanted to report Lin Chuanyin's death to the sect.

  The joyful songs and dances lingered in the square for a long time, as the night grew deeper. Xiao Yun held a bowl of delicious meat soup sent by Ye Lan, looked up at the dark sky, her eyes lost in thought, wondering what she was thinking about.

  ——

  "A Lan sister, come down quickly, let's go find Xiao big brother together."

  In the early morning, dew wetted the green grass leaves. Under the shining of the morning sun, they looked like jewels, reflecting brilliant light. Little Tiger came to invite Ye Lan, but found her sitting on a branch of a pear tree in the backyard, lost in thought.

  Ye Lan lowered her head and glanced at Xiao Hu, without responding, looking like she was in a somewhat depressed mood.

  Xiao Hu was taken aback for a moment, then climbed the tree in a flurry, sitting down in front of Ye Lan and staring at her strangely. "Sister Alan, what are you spacing out about?"

  Ye Lan gave Xiao Hu a big white eye and said in a slightly low voice, "Xiao Da Ge is leaving!"

  "What? Who said that?" Little Tiger's face was full of surprise.

  "What Grandpa Bai said!"

  Yelan replied briefly, Ye Bai told her about his conversation with Xiao Yun, she didn't sleep all night, her mind was a mess.

  Although she had only been with Xiao Yun for a short month, she had already developed an inexplicable fondness for this big brother. She wasn't even clear what kind of feeling it was, but she just felt that being with Xiao Yun would be very happy.

  Before, she would also feel happy with Xiaohu and Zhuozhu, but being with Xiao Yun felt different. When she couldn't see Xiao Yun, her heart would always be thinking of him, and at night, she would sometimes dream of him too. The feeling was accumulating bit by bit, it was really wonderful.

  Yesterday, under the instigation of Zhuo Zhu and others, she finally plucked up the courage to invite Xiao Yun to dance. In the customs of Tongtian Village, this behavior is undoubtedly a confession from a woman to a man. However, she did not expect Xiao Yun to decline her invitation. At that time, although she was somewhat disappointed, she could still comfort herself by thinking that Xiao Yun was an outsider who didn't understand the customs of Tongtian Village and couldn't be blamed for his ignorance.

  When Ye Bai told her that he had mentioned to Xiao Yun that he wanted to marry her off to him, Ye Lan was delighted in her heart, although she was shy. However, Ye Bai's next words made her heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

  Xiao Yun is going to leave Tong Tian Village! At that time, Ye Lan heard the news and suddenly felt an urge to cry. Although she had expected this day would come, she didn't think it would arrive so soon.

  "Really? Are his injuries all healed?" Little Tiger asked in surprise, as Xiao Yun had saved his life before and he didn't want Xiao Yun to leave either.

  "It's all right already!" Ye Lan bit her lip.

  Xiao Hu paused for a moment, then stood up from the tree stump. "Let's go, Sister Alan. We'll ask Xiao Shao about it. He just arrived a month ago, how can he leave already?"

  "You go yourself, I don't want to go!" Ye Lan's face showed a hint of struggle, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a sentence, but she didn't know if she was really unwilling to see Xiao Yun or just afraid of being embarrassed after seeing him.

  "Then you continue daydreaming, I'll go keep Xiao Da Ge here." Little Tiger jumped down from the tree and before Ye Lan could react, he had already run off in a flash.

  Ye Lan's face stiffened, and she scolded Xiaohu with a pout, but he just smiled awkwardly. Why didn't this kid know to persuade her more?

  ——

  "Xiao Da Ge, are you leaving?"

  Xiao Yun was practicing qin in the courtyard when he suddenly heard Xiao Hu's startled voice, his hands pressed down on the strings, and the sound of the qin stopped abruptly. He turned around to see Xiao Yun with a smile on his face, "Look at you all sweaty, are you feeling better?"

  Last night, I drank a few more bowls of the demon beast soup and sweated out a lot while sleeping. My weak body has recovered quite a bit. But Xiao Hu is not concerned about these things now, he directly pulled Xiao Yun again and asked, "Xiao big brother, I heard you're leaving, is it true?"

  "Look at you, seems like you're quite happy!" Xiao Yun nodded and teased.

  "Not at all!" Xiaohu panted a few times, "You've only been here for a month, why do you want to leave so soon? Can't you stay?"

  "Xiao Hu!" Xiao Yun patted Xiao Hu's shoulder, "Life is like this, there are gatherings and separations. You don't have to worry too much about it. As long as you live well, there will be a day when we meet again."

  "But..." Even if Xiao Yun's words were reasonable, Xiaohu still had a thousand unwilling thoughts. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say that would be good.

  "Come with me, Xiao Da Ge has something for you!" Xiang Yun signaled to Little Tiger and then went into the house.

  Xiao Hu followed quietly behind Xiao Yun, his mood very low, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

  Xiao Yun picked up a rolled-up white paper from the table and handed it to Xiao Hu, "You were once infested with demonic insects in your brain. Although you managed to expel them, I'm worried that they might have left some hidden harm behind. This is the score for 'Clear Mind and Universal Goodness'. After you enlighten, practice it often when you have time. This melody can eliminate any remaining demonic aura from your body. Also, the flute score is with Bai Lao, in the future if there are any more demonic insects causing trouble, use this melody to drive them away!"

  "Thank you, Uncle Xiao!" Little Tiger buried his head, his shoulders shaking slightly, and he actually started sobbing quietly.

  Xiao Yun patted Xiao Hu's shoulder, "A man has tears but doesn't shed them easily, you must grow up quickly!"

  Xiao Hu held back his tears and looked at Xiao Yun with a very serious expression, "One day, I will also become a strong warrior like Brother Xiao!"

  Xiao Yun heard this and laughed, "What kind of strong person am I?"

  "In Xiao Hu's heart, Xiao Da Ge is a strong person! Only strong people can have so many girls like them!" Xiao Hu said seriously.

  The first half of the sentence made Xiao Yun feel relaxed and comfortable, but at the same time, he felt a little ashamed. However, the second half of the sentence almost made him choke on his own blood.

  "Xiao Gege, I have a secret to tell you!" With the sheet music in hand, Xiao Hu mysteriously leaned in close to Xiang Yun's side.

  "Oh? What other secrets can you have?" Xiao Yun glanced at Xiaohu with a strange expression, feeling a wave of amusement.

  Xiao Hu said with a sly smile, "A Lan Jie also likes you!"

  "Pffft!"

  Xiao Yun was really hurt this time, "Who told you all these things?"

  "I saw it myself!" said Little Tiger.

  Xiao Yun picked up a piece of paper and tapped it on Xiaohu's head, "Little brat, what do you know?"

  "I'm not a little kid, I'm already 14 years old!" Xiaohu said with some discontent, pouting his mouth. "If you don't believe me, ask Sister Alan yourself!"

  "Get out of here, you little rascal! Stop spouting nonsense and go back home!" Xiaoyun wiped the sweat from his forehead as he hastily pushed Xiao Hu out the door. Today was unusual in that Ye Lan hadn't come with Xiao Hu, and on top of what Ye Bai had said to him last night, Xiaoyun understood a thing or two.

  ——

  The next morning.

  "Lan'er, Xiao brothers are about to leave, aren't you going to see them off?"

  After breakfast, Ye Lan wiped the table, and Ye Changqing fell silent for a moment before asking Ye Lan.

  Ye Lan hesitated for a moment, her face showing signs of struggle, but she didn't respond to Ye Changqing's words.

  Ye Changqing sighed, "If we don't go, it's likely that we won't be able to see each other again in the future!"
