Dou Po: My days as a mentor at Canaan College

Chapter 96
"Lord Liu Xi, this is your residence."

Being taken by the maid to a courtyard at the core of the Xiao family complex, Liu Xi looked around.

This is a good place to stay. There are trees and potted plants in the courtyard, which add a bit of shade, and some decorations are very elegantly carved. These are obviously very pleasant in this hot summer.

Suddenly, out of the corner of Liu Xi's eyes, he caught sight of the maid beside him, the body under the clothes was trembling slightly, he was afraid of something.

His thoughts turned quickly, and he noticed that he was dodging the gaze that he had been daring to look at him, and felt a little speechless in his heart for a while.

Move your steps and walk up to the maid.

Sure enough, his body trembled a lot, and he almost ran away in front of him.

"No, am I that scary? I don't eat people, what are you doing like this?" Liu Xi said angrily.

Hearing the sound, the maid hung her head, clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her teeth trembled, hesitated for a while, but she still said in words:

"She...they...they all said that my lord...my lord, your color is like your life, and they are taboo to serve you, for fear...for fear of being ruined and ruined... "

Hearing this, Liu Xi remained motionless.

For a long time, the little maid didn't see Liu Xi's reaction for a long time, and glanced at him cautiously, but saw that he was staring at her with wide-eyed eyes.

This frightened her, and she quickly lowered her head and tightened her neck.

However, her behavior amused Liu Xi.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xi waved his hand and said:

"Okay, okay, let me say it again, I don't 'eat people'! You say that you are a girl, how can you hear the wind is the wind? Don't listen to the rumors outside, it is not true!"

"……Oh……"

The little maid may have not slowed down yet, and her reaction was a little slow, and it took a long time before she responded.

Seeing this, Liu Xi twitched his lips.

Turning around and touching the back of his neck, he said, "Now I'll give you a task. Do you know where your young patriarch lives? Call him and tell him I have something to say."

"Yes... yes, my lord."

After responding, the little maid trotted out of the other courtyard as if "running away".

In the courtyard, Liu Xi glanced at the back of the little maid, raised his hands, and pressed them on his temples on both sides.

……

a while.

Xiao Yan, who was dressed in black, was informed by the maid and came to the other courtyard.

The two entered the house and waved away the maid, Xiao Yan couldn't help but said:

"Brother Liu, did you do something to that maid? I think she is so afraid of you."

Liu Xi was speechless, stretched out his hand to touch the tip of his nose, and said:

"I just finished chatting with your father and the others in the conference hall. I asked her to find you as soon as I arrived here. I haven't been free. What can I do?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled, he was just joking, and he didn't really think so, after all, that night in the Jialie family, the two of them had already "communicated" on some issues, knowing that they were with each other The "human scum" before was not alone.

"By the way, Brother Liu, you were in the hall just now, didn't you say something wrong?"

Changing the subject, Xiao Yan asked about something he was more concerned about.

Seeing this, Liu Xi's eyelids drooped, he smacked his lips, looked at Xiao Yan, and said:
"Don't worry, I've made it up for you. From now on, the senior members of the Xiao family, that is, your father and the others, basically believe that my master has some relationship with the senior around you, and think that I agreed to be hired to come to the Xiao family. , because of this relationship."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together with a smile, and said, "That's good, that's good..."

Liu Xi saw that there seemed to be light shining in his dark eyes, and he didn't know what this guy was planning.

Of course, he didn't think much about it. When he promised Xiao Yan to come to Xiao's house, he already guessed that Xiao Yan, a black-bellied guy, not only wanted him to come to Xiao's house to "settle in town" to consolidate the profits of the market, What's more, there must be some intention to use his identity as a pharmacist to secretly provide some "help" for his family and father, or there may be other thoughts involved.

"Brother Xiao Yan, the reason why someone asked you to meet me as soon as I arrived at Xiao's house is because I want to exchange some things with that senior beside you."

We chatted for a while, and now the atmosphere is good, Liu Xi cut to the chase.

"what?"

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yan's deep eyes opened slightly, and then he revealed a look of distress and said:

"Brother Liu, I'm afraid I can't make the decision about you. It depends on my teacher's own wishes, but he...he..."

When it came to the end, Xiao Yan hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Liu Xi certainly knew what was going on with him, and knew that Yao Lao around him had become less trusting and less willing to deal with people because of some things. Now the state of the soul body must be prevented from being revealed by the people of the soul palace.

He had expected the current situation of being up and down, seeing Xiao Yan's sudden silence, he guessed that he must be communicating with Yao Lao at this time, he no longer dragged his feet, and responded very directly, directly from Najie Take one thing out.

On the side, although he had been communicating with Yao Lao in his mind, Xiao Yan, who had always been paying attention to Liu Xi, noticed his movements immediately.

"Brother Liu, what are you?"

Facing Xiao Yan's question, Liu Xi remained silent and did not answer for the time being, but slowly spread out the yellowed parchment in his hand that was rolled up in a bundle and made of unknown material.

And as the parchment unfolded, the things depicted on it were also exposed to the sight of the "three people" in the house.

"Teacher..." Seeing this object, Xiao Yan realized that it might be something Liu Xi used to impress his teacher, so he couldn't help calling Yao Lao in his heart.

"Don't talk yet, I'm watching..."

Before Xiao Yan could say more, Yao Lao's solemn and serious voice sounded in his mind.

Hearing the importance in Yao Lao's tone, Xiao Yan's heart subsided slightly, and he also began to carefully look at the yellowed parchment.

I saw some seemingly irregular lines painted on it, like ghostly drawn symbols. His eyes followed the lines around and moved slowly, but finally his eyes moved out of the parchment.

This? ? ?
He really didn't understand this thing, so Xiao Yan didn't say anything, just waiting for his teacher's next words.

He believed that Yao Lao must have discovered something.

For a while, the house was quiet.

No one made a sound, and it was inexplicably weird.

Standing in front of him, Liu Xi took a silent look at Xiao Yan, and suddenly, he grasped the two corners of the mysterious parchment with both hands, slowly released it, and placed it on the long table beside him.

Xiao Yan saw that in the hidden corner of the leather paper he was holding, there was a lotus-shaped thing depicted. The lotus flower was black, but it was because a thin layer of black inflammation was attached to its surface, which made it look mysterious. And strange.

It just feels extraordinary.

"This...could it be the Jinglian demon fire?"

In his mind, Yao Lao's voice, which had been silent for a while, suddenly sounded.
