Chapter 35 Bright Moon
Xiao family, in Xiao Bai’s courtyard.

There is a thick golden fire peach tree in the courtyard. Now is the season when the golden fire peach tree blooms. When this kind of peach tree blooms, the center of the petals is pink, and the edge of the petals is a circle of gold. Therefore, it is extremely ornamental and is deeply loved by wealthy families.

There is a stone table under the peach tree, on which stands a pot of tea. The aroma of the tea is wafting and refreshing.

A handsome young man was sitting next to the stone table, reading an ancient book carefully. Occasionally, golden and red petals fluttered in the wind and landed on the boy's clothes.

Xiao Bai hasn't been so relaxed for almost three months.

Ever since the first pill was successfully refined, Xiao Bai no longer devoted all his energy to refining pills day and night like before.

Instead, he refined pills during the day and practiced fighting spirit and soul cultivation at night, while also refining the few remaining Binghuo Yanglei in his body.

Finally, I got it all done yesterday, and my cultivation level has reached the eight-star fighter level.

He will set off with Yao Lao in a few days, and today he plans to relax for a day.

The way of cultivation is to alternate between relaxation and tension. Xiao Bai doesn't want to make himself like a puppet who only knows how to practice. On the contrary, relaxing occasionally will be more conducive to his cultivation.

The ancient book in his hand was taken from Xun'er. The little girl often held a book when she had time. After seeing this, Xiao Bai also borrowed a few books from her. These were some books about common sense of cultivation.

For him who has no teacher, these books are also his teachers, which can broaden his horizons and make him more clear about his own Dharma and his own Tao.

"Boom, boom, boom"

There was a knock on the door outside the yard.

"Come in! The door is not closed."

Xiao Bai said without raising his head, and through soul sensing, he knew who was outside the yard.

Sure enough, a beautiful figure pushed the door open and came in.

After Xiao Xun'er came in, she saw the picturesque scene in the courtyard. There was a moment of obsession in her eyes, and then she joked playfully.

"Brother Xiao Bai, you finally don't live in the mountains anymore"

"You little girl, I finally got a day to relax and you come to tease your brother Xiao Bai"

Xiao Bai put down the ancient book in his hand, raised his head, looked gently at the girl with a sweet smile not far away, and waved at her.

"Humph, Brother Xiao Bai has been missing for almost three months. If I didn't know you were still in the back mountain, Xun'er would have posted a missing person notice."

Xiao Xun'er came and sat down next to Xiao Bai, humming softly and coquettishly.

Since she met Xiao Bai, she had never not seen him for such a long time. She knew that Xiao Bai was in the back mountain.

But she never went to find Xiao Bai, fearing that he had some secrets that were inconvenient for her to know, so she kept it to herself.

Xiao Bai understood why she didn't come to find him. Although the girl next to him was young, she was from a big family.

She is a person of taste and knows when to advance and when to retreat. It is very relaxing to be with her, just like being bathed in spring breeze.

"Okay, don't be angry, little girl. Brother Xiao Bai will accompany you these days, okay?" Xiao Bai looked at Xun'er who was pretending to be angry, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, and smiled softly.

It's rare to see this girl throwing a tantrum, and she looks really cute at this moment.

When Xiao Xun'er heard this, her originally stern face immediately lit up with joy. She took the teacup and immediately said:

"This is what Brother Xiao Bai said himself. Xun'er didn't force you to do it!"

"Heh~" Xiao Bai smiled lovingly, scratched her upturned nose, and said nothing. "Brother Xiao Bai, are you leaving in a few days?" Xiao Xun'er narrowed her eyes. She was originally very happy, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and said softly with a little reluctance.

She felt that Brother Xiao Bai had been so busy in the past year that it took her a long time to see him. It was not at all like when they were children, when they could see each other every day and stay together at any time.

Although she knew this day would come sooner or later, and she thought it would at least come when she grew up, this day came too quickly, so quickly that she was a little caught off guard.

She has been mature and sensible since she was young, but she is only fourteen years old now. When she came to the Xiao family as a child, she was also ignorant. She has not experienced any joys and sorrows since she was sensible, and she felt a little sad for a while.

Is this the price of growth?
Xiao Xun'er thought silently for a moment.

Seeing that she was suddenly a little depressed, Xiao Bai seemed to know what she was thinking, and he was silent in his heart.

He couldn't help but sighed, touched her little head, and said softly:

"I will be away for a while and will be back soon. The bright moon is my heart and the gentle breeze is my mind. If you miss Brother Xiao Bai, just look at the bright moon in the sky and feel the gentle breeze in the mountains. They can both represent Brother Xiao Bai, okay?"

Xiao Xun'er couldn't bear it any longer and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

After a long moment, she nodded in his arms and replied softly, "Yeah!"

Xiao Bai gently hugged the delicate body in his arms, without saying anything else, just holding her quietly.

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, you finally came down from the mountain?"

A lively and somewhat mean voice interrupted the silence in the courtyard.

I saw a young man in black walking directly into the courtyard. After seeing the scene in the courtyard, he was stunned at first, then his eyes rolled around, a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly:
"Hey, where's my brother Bai? Why isn't he at home? Hey! Brother Bai is so careless. He left the door wide open when he wasn't at home!"

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to run.

When Xiao Xun'er heard the noise, she got up from Xiao Bai's arms, calmly returned to sit on the stone bench next to her, picked up the tea and took a sip.

She looked calm and composed, except for a slight blush on her face.

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes and saw Xiao Yan running to the door. He shouted:

"return!"

Xiao Yan stopped, but did not turn around. Instead, he stood there for a moment, looked around, but did not look back, and said in confusion:
"Hey! I seemed to hear the voice of my dear Bai Ge, but I didn't see him. It must be an illusion... an illusion!"

As he spoke, he nodded affirmatively, then walked out step by step very calmly.

"If you take another step forward, you will die!" Xiao Bai said indifferently.

Xiao Yan seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. He stood there without turning back. He stretched out his hand to the ring in his hand and said:

"Huh? I heard Brother Bai's voice again. Teacher, is it because I have been practicing too much recently and have hallucinations?"

Yao Lao in the ring was a little speechless. He had watched Xiao Yan grow up since he was a child and had been with him for several months, but he really didn't know that his disciple had such a talent. He was simply a dramatic actor.

"Haha~"

Hearing the low and cold laughter coming from behind him, Xiao Yan shuddered, knowing that he would be beaten if he continued to act, so he turned around and laughed exaggeratedly:

"Oh! Isn't this my dear Brother Bai? Sorry, sorry, I'm dizzy from practicing too much recently, I didn't see anything just now!"
