Chapter 972 Wait
"And, how to lead?"
Meng Jixi frowned.
They are not kittens or puppies. They will come out if you put some food in them.
"Meng Jixi, it's time for you to go back."
"I'll explain it to you later."
Xiao Xiao issued an "expulsion order".
What happened next would be a bit inconvenient if Meng Jixi was present.
"I refuse to answer."
Meng Jixi blurted out, "Master Xiao."
His eyes were burning, "That person with evil intentions is not a human being, is he?"
He has known Master Xiao for a long time.
What's more, the Chi family brothers and sisters have known Master Xiao for a longer time.
From them, he also learned a lot of information about Master Xiao.
Even though he never believed in some things, he was a firm materialist.
However, he is not a stubborn and stubborn person.
He takes the facts put before him seriously.
……
Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi looked at each other for a while, then stepped up and walked past Meng Jixi.
Meng Jixi:?
"Master Xiao?"
"Find a quiet place."
Xiao Xiao's words made Meng Jixi's eyes light up.
He arrived in front of Master Xiao in a few strides, "Master Xiao, I am familiar with this place."
"I know a quiet place."
"Follow me."
……
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, took another step when Meng Jixi looked over, and followed him.
"Gu carving."
He whispered in his heart, "Go help the ghost owl."
"Jie~"
The dark shadow above his head quickly disappeared, and then the bright sunlight shone down, making Xiao Xiao squint his eyes slightly.
……
There is a small park not far from the school.
It was noon at this time, and there were almost no people in the park, so it was quiet.
Meng Jixi turned left and right on a familiar road and came to a bamboo forest.
He didn't stop until he reached the depths of the bamboo forest before he stopped.
"Is it quiet here?"
He looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked around. The tall and slender bamboo leaves were covered with lush green leaves. The interlacing of them had the effect of blocking out the sky and the sun.
Faint sunlight falls in the open space among the bamboo forests.
Half of the vision is bright and half of it is dark.
The refreshing fragrance of bamboo lingers around the nose and penetrates into one's limbs and bones, making one feel intoxicated and refreshed at the same time.
"Yeah."
It is indeed a quiet place.
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Meng Jixi waited for a while, but saw that Master Xiao had nothing to say, so he couldn't help but tentatively asked: "Master Xiao... what should we do next?"
"You-"
"Wait."
Xiao Xiao was walking leisurely among the bamboo forests, and occasionally reached out to rub the smooth bamboo trunk.
He has always been quite fond of bamboo.
Although there is not much space in the yard, there is probably room to plant a clump of bamboo near the wall?
The bamboo leaves sticking out of the wall are quite interesting.
……
"Wait?"
Meng Jixi murmured and repeated.
Although he didn't understand what they were waiting for, he became quiet and didn't ask any more questions.
Even if he doesn't know now, he should know what Master Xiao is waiting for later.
As he said before, he is in no hurry.
Since Master Xiao is willing to let him follow, he will always know the answer he wants today.
……
Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped.
Meng Jixi almost bumped into him without noticing. He staggered back two steps, raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao's back in confusion, "Master Xiao?"
"Coming."
Coming?
Meng Jixi was stunned for a moment, and then his expression tightened. Is this the guy that Master Xiao said he was waiting for at the beginning?
He opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction of Xiao Xiao's gaze.
In the air?
A breeze blew by, and the bamboo leaves made a rustling sound.
He could hear his breathing clearly.
Is he a guy who can fly?
……
However, Meng Jixi's eyes widened and then squinted. He repeated this process several times until tears came out, but he still didn't see anything.
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao, who looked calm, "Xiao-"
"Hoo~"
A strong gust of wind blew, and without warning, he took several steps back. "Bang~", his back hit a bamboo behind him.
His expression was distorted for a moment.
However, the retreating body finally stopped.
He was surprised at how strong the wind was.
Didn't you say there would be strong winds today?
Ah, Master Xiao!
He hurriedly raised his eyes. He thought that since he was so embarrassed by this inexplicable strong wind, Master Xiao, who was thinner than him, should be even more "miserable".
However, the next second, he froze.
He saw Master Xiao who was still in the same place without any change.
The wind is howling, and the clothes are hunting.
There was no trace of tension in Master Xiao's back, but he was as at ease as ever, showing a bit of leisureliness like the breeze blowing on his face.
He held onto the bamboo to steady himself, grinning slightly with a smile on his face.
Why does Master Xiao need him to worry?
Even though he has known Master Xiao for a long time, he has never seen through this mysterious Master Xiao.
The other person is in... another world that he has never touched before.
……
Xiao Xiao looked at the monster struggling in the Gu Diao's claws and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Jiejie~"
The Gu Eagle raised its head to the sky and screamed, exerting force in its claws. The struggling monster let out a miserable howl, like the harsh sound of fingernails scratching glass, and then it became quiet.
The long black hair hangs down, blocking its appearance.
"Gua~"
The ghost owl flew to Xiao Xiao's side, and the two dots of will-o'-the-wisps in its eye sockets flickered automatically, making people feel that this monster was in a good mood.
"Well done, Ghost Owl."
Xiao Xiao did not hesitate to praise him, "Come back."
“Quack~”
The low, hoarse voice was still echoing in my ears, but the ghost owl had disappeared.
……
"The Hanged Ghost."
Xiao Xiao spoke softly.
……
Meng Jixi suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao.
After the wind stopped, he came to Master Xiao's side.
Noticing that Master Xiao seemed to be looking at something, even though he was full of doubts, he did not ask.
He tried again to find something.
But to no avail.
What exactly did Master Xiao see?
They were obviously looking at the same place, but he felt that the world in their eyes was hugely different.
He... wanted to see the scene in Master Xiao's eyes.
……
Master Xiao's silence made him puzzled.
The person they were waiting for should have arrived, right?
Why don't you speak out?
Is Master Xiao telepathically communicating with that guy?
Or are you competing to see who can lose his composure first?
……
It has to be said that Meng Jixi guessed part of the truth.
The Gu Eagle and the Ghost Owl are both monsters summoned by Xiao Xiao through the Demon Appreciation, so they are naturally a little different from other monsters.
He can communicate with them telepathically.
However, the monster in the Gu Eagle's claws is not within this scope.
To communicate with it, you can only use the most direct method.
ps: Thank you to the big crab on the chopping board for the tip (*︶*)!
