Chapter Fifty-Six: The Tiger Skin Banner
At the gate of the small courtyard, Xiao Mian came out of the crowd.
"This Wei Daoyou, I don't know if I can give you a thin face, and today's matter will be revealed, how about it?"
Xiao Mian strode forward and bowed casually to Wei Laohei, but did not call his predecessors and called Daoyou, which made everyone at the scene, including Xuan Lang, stunned, thinking that this young man would not be crazy, right?
Of course, there were also a few shrewd people who stared at Xiao Mian's black robe carefully.
Then Wei Laohei's face turned straight after seeing a shadow carving on the black robe, and he bowed his hand in return: "Don't dare! Don't dare! Daoyou is polite! Today, I won't care about them for the sake of Daoyou's face! If Daoyou has time, Wei will be the east, and the drunken immortal pavilion in the east of Fang City will get together, how about it?"
These words couldn't help but make Xiao Mian look at Wei Laohei with admiration, this person is definitely an old fox comparable to a ghost!
"Wei Daoyou is polite! Tomorrow at noon, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion will be in the east, please Wei Daoyou must appreciate the light, Wei Daoyou, this friend, is in the next hand!"
"In this way, Wei will definitely go to the appointment on time tomorrow!
"Don't send it!"
Seeing Wei Laohei leave freely, Xiao Mian really admired Wei Laohei.
When it comes to the practice of human feelings, Xuan Lang, who is known as the number one honest man in Lingchuanfang City, is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with Wei Laohei who can afford to let go of others if he cultivates for a lifetime. Seeing that with Wei Laohei's departure, most of the bystanders retreated, Xiao Mian nodded towards Xuan Lang, signaling to let this honest man who had no eyesight to introduce himself.
That Xuan Lang was just upright and not stupid, and hurriedly invited Xiao Mian into the small courtyard.
Although the ancestors and grandsons surnamed Ye had a lot of suspicions about Xiao Mian's identity, they obviously trusted Xuan Lang very much, and when they saw that Xuan Lang knew Xiao Mian, they were a lot more relieved.
"This ...... This fellow Daoist, I don't know what to call him?" just wanted to introduce Xiao Mian to the ancestors and grandchildren surnamed Ye, but Xuan Lang suddenly realized that even he didn't know who Xiao Mian's surname was, Xiao Mian was also stunned, and then said casually: "Qingyun!"
"It turned out to be Qingyun Daoyou, I really admired the name for a long time!" Xuan Lang's actions made Xiao Mian cry and laugh, it seems that honest people can also lie! I just casually said my real name in the early years, how did I become a long-admired name in his mouth? Fortunately, that Xuan Lang was polite, and then said to the old man surnamed Ye: "Uncle Ye! This time I came because this Qingyun Daoist friend took a fancy to the three-legged Gu Ding you placed with me, and I saw that Qingyun Daoist was quite sincere, so I brought him to meet with you. ”
"Oh! Lao Yu also wants to thank Qingyun Daoist Friend for speaking up and driving away that Wei Laohei! As for this Gu Ding, it is not worth a few dollars, if Qingyun Daoyou can agree to Lao Yu on a condition, then Gu Ding will be sent to Daoyou as a reward, how about it?"
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, and secretly said that he was an old fox again!
"Uncle Ye, please tell me what is going on here?"
"Forgive the old man for being clumsy, dare to ask Qingyun Daoist if he is an inner disciple of the Demon Shadow Sect?" Saying this, Old Man Ye's slightly cloudy gaze stared closely at the shadow carving on Xiao Mian's black robe. Xiao Mian didn't expect this old man Ye's eyes to be so vicious, but this also played into his arms, and he made a cautious look of being accidentally seen through, but he still nodded lightly. Old man Ye was overjoyed when he saw this, grabbed his granddaughter's hand and walked up two steps, and begged Xiao Mian eagerly: "The old decay will not be long in coming! Only this granddaughter can rest assured, if Qingyun Daoist can enter the Demon Shadow Sect, the old decay will die without regrets!"
"This ......"
Although he had already had some premonitions about Old Man Ye's request, Xiao Mian was also quite embarrassed when he heard this request-the key is that he is not an inner disciple of the Demon Shadow Sect!
If he pulled the tiger skin to make a banner like scaring Wei Laohei, he didn't care, anyway, he would break up afterwards without any guilt, but if he promised Old Man Ye but couldn't bring his granddaughter into the Demon Shadow Sect, then the sin would be great.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Mian said in embarrassment: "Uncle Ye, forgive me! After all, the junior is only a low-level disciple of the eighth level of Qi cultivation, and it is already a great opportunity to become an inner disciple, but he does not have the authority to attract the disciple to enter, this is ......"
"It's old and confused! Qingyun Daoist is not strange! cough cough ......" Old man Ye didn't look disappointed when he heard this, and his expression was even more settled, obviously if Xiao Mian agreed, he would be suspicious. After all, every sect is very strict in the assessment of new disciples, how can a disciple of the eighth level of Qi cultivation be able to take it casually? Looking back at his granddaughter, Old Man Ye continued: "Qingyun Daoyou, if the old man's request is just to protect this child from the persecution of that Wei Laohei, I wonder if you can agree?"
"This ...... If it was just not persecuted by that Wei Laohei, it would be much simpler......"
"Okay!Qingguo'er, come here, thank you Brother Qingyun, you will be your brother in the future, Brother Qingyun is your own brother!" Pulling his granddaughter to Xiao Mian, Old Man Ye smiled and smiled at Xiao Mian a little slyly, the little girl was quite shy, and her face was slightly red towards Xiao Mian, and she called softly: "Brother Qingyun!"
Hmph, old fox, is this a trap for me? Fortunately, I'm not stupid!
Poor Old Man Ye thought he had succeeded, if he knew that when Xiao Mian was saying that rather reluctant sentence, he thought of taking his granddaughter to Huoyun Ridge, I don't know if he would die without turning a blind eye? I'm afraid that even if he dies, he will cheat the corpse, right?
In this way, everyone was happy, Xiao Mian won the three-legged Gu Ding, and Old Man Ye found a backer for his granddaughter - but the former was real, and the latter was discounted......
That night, Old Man Ye's life hung by a thread, and before he died, he pulled Xiao Mian in front of him, and talked about his granddaughter's personality and preferences.
Ye Qingguo had already cried into tears, and Xuan Lang on the side was also sad, Xiao Mian looked at Old Man Ye holding his hand tightly, his eyes were obviously dead but he still refused to close his eyes, knowing that he was waiting for him to give him a final promise.
"Senior Ye, don't worry! I Xiao ...... Qingyun will treat Qingguo'er like a sister in this life! In this life and this life, I will do my best to protect her and ensure her good death!"
"Good! good......"
The last laugh stuck in his throat, and Old Man Ye closed his eyes and died.
After that, he accompanied Ye Qingguo for a while, and then Xuan Lang took charge of the body of the old man Ye, and the monk looked down on life and death, but it was not cumbersome.
That Ye Qingguo is also sensible, maybe he was prepared for his grandfather's death, and he didn't cry or make trouble after the sadness, and Xiao Mian didn't have time to find a place to stay when he entered the market, so he cleaned up a clean guest room for him to live temporarily.
Looking at Ye Qingguo's busy small body, Xiao Mian felt guilty for a while, and at the same time, he became more and more determined to fulfill his promise to Old Man Ye.
At noon the next day, Ye Qingguo was temporarily entrusted to Xuan Lang to take care of, Xiao Mian cleaned up and walked towards the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the east of Fang City.
Xiao Mian was going to meet Wei Laohei, who was ridiculed by Xuan Lang as having a "black face, black hands, and a darker heart".
Not only for Ye Qingguo, but also for himself!
