"Senior Sister Ning."
This time Ningxia paused.
She had heard many people call her that. The owner of this voice had called her like this countless times, but he had never given her such a feeling.
It's cool, erratic, and a little ethereal, like looking at flowers, water, and the moon in a mirror, giving people a sense of being separated from this world.
The owner of the voice is Xie Shi.
It was Xie Shi.
If she were facing anyone at this moment, an unfamiliar person or a stranger, she would not feel anything. However, the facts before her told her an irrefutable fact. The person who made the sound was none other than Xie Shi.
Xie Shi is lively, cheerful, and approachable, not this cold, ruthless, and detached "stranger".
The moment she saw him, except for his face, nothing really reminded her of Xie Shi.
You must know that they were separated for only a few days...what happened to make each other undergo such earth-shaking changes overnight?
This is not a good thing.
For some reason, Ningxia felt a little reluctant to move forward.
Seeing her, the other party spontaneously walked towards her. Ning Xia watched helplessly as the other party got closer and closer, and finally stood tall and tall not far in front of her.
Probably so that she wouldn't have to look up, the other party stopped a few steps away from her. This was a small detail that he usually paid great attention to. This detail also made Ningxia relax a lot, regain a sense of reality, and no longer feel so strange to the acquaintance opposite him.
"Senior Sister Ning." The other party called again. Ning Xia keenly felt that his tone was warmer and more lively than before.
Ningxia observed the other party. The facial features are not...it seems to be a little more delicate, well, anyway, she doesn't know how to describe the changes that have happened to the other person...the appearance is still the same, but she always feels that the overall feeling is different. how to say? The temperament is different.
If he had just the temperament of an ordinary young man before, but had gained some masculine qualities due to physical training, then now he has a completely different look. That masculine quality has not completely dissipated, and a certain temperament that comes from unknown origins and is even somewhat inconsistent with the other person's nature has become the main body.
And Ning Xia felt that there was a familiar aura about him, as if she had had a deep contact with him somewhere, which made her heartbeat inexplicably, but no matter how much she cried to death and meditated, she couldn't remember it.
Ning Xia suppressed the uncomfortable feeling of memory loss in her heart, and it took a long time to find her voice: "Xie Junior Brother, you...could it be that you took some miraculous medicine, and your appearance today is better than before. It seems that Huizong has adjusted well. good."
She finally found a less sensitive direction to approach the topic. When people change, they will always experience growth, so there’s nothing to be surprised about, right?
I don't know if it was her illusion, but Ning Xia suddenly caught a flash of fire in the other party's glazed pupils. It was the kind of extremely dazzling and gorgeous fire that made her dazed for a moment.
However, the jumping flames only lasted for a blink of an eye, and soon disappeared, revealing normal pupils again.
Very abnormal. No matter from which perspective.
"Oh...it's hard to explain in words." However, when the other party spoke, the sense of alienation and outrageous strangeness faded away a lot.
After the sense of distance was broken by the other party's own hands, Ning Xia's tight little heart relaxed a little and began to be in the mood to joke.
She smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, you are really white and handsome now. I was too shocked to notice just now. Your cultivation has improved again. What a happy event!"
Ningxia looked Xie Shi up and down again and said with some surprise. Not only is it progress, it has jumped a lot, and it is now in the middle stage of foundation building. This speed is really good... She has not forgotten the other party's qualifications.
He didn't know it was that sentence that hit him so hard that he couldn't help but curl his lips and laugh along with it.
"Senior Sister Ning is not bad either. She is even more determined and strong. I also watched that fight. The sword energy is really impressive."
"Eh? Did you come that time? I never saw you..."
As the two of them went back and forth, the atmosphere quickly returned to normal, and the inexplicable sense of alienation and strangeness that had arisen before dissipated.
In the end, Ningxia did not ask the other party what happened. She is a little curious. Everyone has their own life. If others don't take the initiative to talk about it, there is no need for her to pursue other people's privacy. Just think of it as a new image——
No matter what, he was always the Xie Shi she knew, as his eyes told her.
"...Let's go quickly. My father has been waiting there for a long time..."
The two of them headed to the guest house without stopping.
————————————————
"came back."
The person at the door paused for a moment and responded in a low voice, as if he had no desire to respond.
"Are you ready for tomorrow's competition?"
"..."
"Who is your opponent?"
"An inner disciple."
The other party was a little surprised when he heard this. Regardless of his fugitive figure, he followed closely and asked: "Is he an inner disciple? What's his name? Do you know his information? Is he famous..." He didn't notice it at all. The person in front was already trembling slightly.
The figure in front stopped suddenly, and the person behind him almost bumped into him without paying attention.
"That's enough!" Xun Jiao whispered, her voice trembling at the end, looking very angry.
The person who was chattering behind him was silenced and suddenly lost his voice, but soon he spoke louder as if he was stimulated.
"What are you kid talking about? I was doing it for your own good, but you still yelled at me. Have you ever spoken to your mother like this? Without me, how would you be today? Your damn father would have abandoned us long ago. ”
Listening to these words that she could almost recite, Xun Jiao became more and more upset and agitated. She even had the illusion that she would cut her neck immediately because she didn't want to listen to these long and smelly words anymore.
Okay, that's actually an exaggeration, but this sentence appeared in her life so many times that she couldn't even count. Growing up, her mother pulled this big flag and cried to her countless times.
She really believed it at first.
After all, she lives in a prosperous cultivator family, a family that advocates profit theory, a passionate and ruthless father, and a mother who is like a dodder flower but can't take any time off. She actually prefers the latter.
As simple as she thought her father was weak and her mother was so weak, she needed her support to survive in that big house.
However... after so many years, she has long since seen clearly the true face hidden under the weak mask.
What kind of dodder flower is this? It’s the people-loving Overlord Flower!
