Dugu Bo's body flashed and he rushed towards the place where he usually taught Xiao Zi how to refine medicine.
In a short while.
He then saw Xiao Zi concentrating on refining medicine in an open space in the forest.
Under the control of her soul power, various herbs are being refined and fused in an orderly manner, and her body emits light beams of various colors from time to time.
Dugu Bo's figure quietly appeared at the edge of the forest. He quietly looked at Xiao Zi's busy figure, his heart full of complicated emotions.
After a long time, he walked over slowly.
Xiao Zi heard the footsteps and raised her head. After seeing Dugu Bo, a bright smile appeared on her face:
"Master, why are you here?"
< br>Dugu Bo said:
“Xiao Zi, how are you practicing?”
Ouyang Zi said happily:
"It went very smoothly. There were some wrong configurations and after less than 10 re-refinings, the correct formula was found!"
Dugu Bo barely squeezed out. He smiled and said to Ouyang Zi:
"Xiao Zi, master has something to tell you."
Xiao Zi blinked her eyes and stopped her movements obediently. Stand up:
"Master, what's going on?"
Dugu Bo took a deep breath and looked into the distance:
"Master is going to the Spirit Hall with Zhuge Lan."
Xiao Zi’s eyes widened instantly, her face full of disbelief:
“Martial Soul Hall? Master, that is a dangerous place, why do you want to go to that place suddenly?”
< br>
Then Xiao Zi said with a slightly trembling voice:
"This Wuhun Palace... he just attacked our home... and put my family in danger of being wiped out. Master, don't go!"
Dugu Bo sighed:
“I know, Wuhundian has become more and more domineering in recent years, and they have done a lot of shameful things. This time they used bad tricks. They kidnapped one of Zhuge Lan's friends, and we had to go and meet them."
Xiao Zi anxiously grabbed Dugu Bo's sleeve:
"But Master, that's too dangerous. There are many masters in Wuhun Palace. What if something happens to you? I don't want you to go."
Dugu Bo patted Xiao Zi's hand gently:< br>
"Xiao Zi, there are some things that the master must do. This is the master's Master cannot just watch Wuhundian do whatever he wants."
Xiao Zi's eyes turned red:
"But Master, I don't want you to take risks. It’s really too dangerous...”
Dugu Bo's eyes softened:
"Xiao Zi, Master can't bear to let you go. But if we don't stop Wuhun Palace, more people will be in danger in the future."
Xiao Zi bit her lip:
"Master, you must be careful. You must come back safely."
Dugu Bo nodded:
"Master will do it. Xiao Zi, you must take good care of yourself during the time when Master is away. Continue to study the art of refining medicine and don't be lazy."
Xiao Zi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes:
“I understand, Master Fu. I will work hard to refine the medicine. When you come back, I will definitely refine a better poison."
Dugu Bo smiled and said:
"Okay, Master, I believe you. You are the master’s favorite disciple.”
Xiao Zi suddenly remembered something and took out a small bottle from her body:
"Master, this is my newly refined healing medicine. I tried it and the effect is several times better than ordinary healing medicine. , it can also restore a little soul power, master, just bring it with you, maybe it will Useful."
Dugu Bo took the bottle and looked at Xiao Zi's serious look, feeling moved in his heart:
"Xiao Zi, thank you"
Xiao. Zi shook her head, she stepped forward and hugged Dugu Bo:
"Master, this is what I should do. You must come back safely, I will be here waiting for you."
Dugu Bo stroked Xiao Zi's head, tears streaming down his face: "Xiao Zi, master is not here When you are here, if you encounter any difficulties or dangers, just go to your clan leader or Bai Chenxiang, you know?"
Xiao Zi nodded:
"I Got it, master.”
Dugu Bo warned again:
"Also, when refining medicine, you should pay attention to the combination of heat and herbs, and don't rush for success, you know?"
Xiao Zi said obediently:< br>
“I remember, Master.”
Dugu Bo was silent for a moment, and then said slowly:
"Xiao Zi, if master can't come back..."
Xiao Zi immediately covered Dugu Bo's mouth:
"Master, don't say such things. You will definitely come back safely. "
Dugu Bo smiled:
"Okay, Master, I won't say anything anymore. Xiao Zi, you have to be strong and face it bravely no matter what happens."< br>
Xiao Zi nodded vigorously:
"I will, master."
Dugu Bo glanced at Xiao Zi one last time, turned around and prepared to leave.
Xiao Zi shouted loudly from behind:
"Master, you must come back safely!"
Dugu Bo didn't look back, just waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared into the forest.
Xiao Zi looked at the direction Dugu Bo was leaving and couldn't help but shed tears.
She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the master would return safely.
Dugu Bo drifted away in the forest, his figure looking a little lonely under the shadow of the mottled trees.
His steps were heavy but firm, and every step was so difficult.
His heart felt like an ocean was turning upside down.
Xiao Zi's innocent face kept reappearing in his mind, and the words "Master" seemed to still echo in his ears.
How he wished he could always be by Xiao Zi's side, watching her grow from an ignorant child into a graceful girl, watching her achieve success in martial arts, and watching her find her own happiness. .
After a while, Xiao Zi wiped away her tears and returned to the position of refining the medicine.
She opened the medicine furnace and began to refine the medicine. She knew that she could not disappoint her master.
She must work hard to improve her level of medicine refining.
When the master comes back, give him a surprise.
Dugu Bo caught up with Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan looked at his haggard face, and he could tell at a glance that he had experienced sadness. Couldn't help but shook his head.
He sighed and patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder. He comforted Dugu Bo:
"Old Poison, I know you are reluctant to let go of Xiao Zi. It is rare to have such a little girl by your side. You have already treated her like your daughter. But we go to Wuhun Palace here for justice and to save My friend. Don’t worry, we will be safe. I guarantee it with my life.”
Zhuge Lan’s eyes were as unwavering as the stars.
Dugu Bo raised his head slightly and took a deep breath. His weather-beaten face was full of complicated expressions.
After a moment, he nodded slightly:
“Of course I believe you, but it’s just a pain for Xiao Zi. She is still so young and she has to worry about me.”
His words were full of love and guilt for Xiao Zi.
"She is very sensible and strong, you should believe her."
Zhuge Lan's voice was calm and powerful.
The two of them stopped talking, but their steps speeded up unconsciously, moving forward resolutely in the direction of Wuhun Palace. (End of this chapter)
