Old Master Xin's old face was tightly wrinkled. He wished he could rush in himself, but when he thought of that terrifying fox demon, his entire body trembled in fear.
"Old Master, why hasn't Young Master Xu come out yet? There's no movement inside. Should I go in and take a look?”Madam Xin looked worried.
Xin Binglin was hesitating. These words made him pacing back and forth anxiously. Should he go in and take a look? Could Xu Xian have been eaten by the fox demon?
Xin Binglin looked around. Coincidentally, the servant had a wooden stick in his hand. He picked it up and carefully approached it.
The Xin family followed closely behind. A large group of people tiptoed and hid outside the door, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Squeak ~"
"The fox demon is out!"
Xu Xian, who had just pushed open the door, was dumbfounded. He saw the Xin family members running out desperately as if they had seen a ghost, screaming repeatedly.
"Hey, Old Master Xin, stop pretending to be dead. Get up quickly. Your son is lying down inside!”
Xu Xian poked Old Master Xin who was on the ground with the tip of his foot. The latter squinted his eyes several times and stood up hurriedly after confirming that it was Xu Xian.
Old Master Xin hid behind Xu Xian and looked into the room in surprise.""Get rid of the fox demon?"
"What else? Quickly go in and see your son!" Xu Xian rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
an hour later
Madam Xin was sitting by the bed and asking about her son's well-being, which made Xu Xian envious and unwilling to stay any longer.
"Although your son managed to come back alive, he lost a lot of yang qi. His yin and yang are in imbalance. We should find a doctor to prescribe a prescription and recuperate well before he can recover!”
The Xin family members were relieved to hear that he was fine. They were so grateful to Xu Xian that Xu Xian suspected that the old man had some strange habits.
Xin Binglin pulled Xu Xian out of the room mysteriously." Damn it," he said." I don't know where he took out a money bag from, but he kept shoving it into Xu Xian's arms." I can't take it away. Don't you feel angry?"
Xu Xian looked around and saw that there was no one around. He coughed lightly and said that he was too polite. He then put the money bag into his pocket, as if he was afraid that Old Master Xin would go back on his word.
"Alright, alright. If you have any problems in the future, come to me, Xu Xian. You get what you pay for. Cough, cough.”Xu Xian's face was full of smiles. He no longer looked as righteous as before.
Old Master Xin was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his years of rich experience were not to be trifled with. He put on a smile and said,"Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Xu."
"Oh right, this painting is too demonic. If it continues to stay in your residence, I'm afraid that evil spirits will cause trouble and damage the feng shui of your residence.”
Xu Xian pointed at the painting hanging on his waist with a serious expression. Old Master Xin shook his head in fear."This painting will be given to Young Master Xu. Whether you burn it or throw it away is up to Young Master Xu.”
Having achieved the effect he wanted, Xu Xian was secretly happy that he had obtained a treasure. However, he put on an unfathomable expression and said,""You must not spread the news of today's matter. Otherwise, it will be a disaster!”
Xin Binglin didn't want to tell anyone about this matter, so he nodded with certainty and said,"Young Master Xu, don't worry. This matter will definitely rot in the Xin residence!”
Seeing that things were going unexpectedly smoothly, Xu Xian nodded slightly in acknowledgment. Then the two of them bowed and left. They waved their sleeves and did not take a single cloud with them.
After leaving the Xin Mansion through the side door, Xu Xian deliberately chose an empty alley. He secretly glanced at the money bag in his arms. There were dozens of gold coins in it. Xu Xian's little heart couldn't help but beat fast.
Xu Xian carefully put the money bag away. He secretly thought that catching demons was also a big deal. He then unfolded the scroll in his hand and reminded,"There's no one else. Come out quickly!"
The beautiful lady on the painting seemed to come to life. She blinked her big eyes obediently. Then, a white light appeared, and an exquisite white fox appeared out of thin air.
In the dark alley, a man and a demon, a white and a green, stared at each other for a long time, as if they were the masterpiece of a painter.
"Remember what I told you. Neither of us can escape from the Six Paths of Reincarnation. In the future, accumulate more good karma and don't hurt anyone!”
Xu Xian didn't act like a little girl. He turned around and left. Before he left, he didn't even look back as he exhorted her. His casually tied black hair fell on his green robe, facing the golden afterglow. He looked very handsome!
Xu Xian's unrestrained figure gradually faded away. His shadow under the setting sun grew longer and longer at the entrance of the alley. In the little fox's heart, he was like an insurmountable mountain or an insurmountable lake.
The little white fox was restless. Her furry tail swayed back and forth, revealing the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart. Her hesitant eyes suddenly became determined.
As if it had made an important decision, the little fox meowed softly, raised its pink little claws, and limped after him.
Under the blazing sunset, the small figure chased after the unreachable figure without regard for her own safety.
Xu Xian was in a hurry to go home and study the scroll hanging on his waist. It seemed to be a magic treasure. After all, it had a small world inside, so it must be extraordinary.
"Will Fahai, that old monk, feel heartache for losing a treasure?”Xu Xian suddenly thought that he would have to hide it when he got back.
Xu Xian happened to pass by the corner of the street while facing the breeze. It was Su Qiao and her mother-in-law who were cleaning up the stall. It seemed that they were planning to go back.
Xu Xian hastened his steps and greeted,""Hello, Grandma, and Miss Su!”
"The kid from the Xu family is here. I heard that you rented a shop opposite. Are you not planning to study?”Granny Liu smiled.
Xu Xian, on the other hand, acted as if he was his own shop. He went up and aimed at the remaining meat buns. After working for a whole day, he was already starving. He could not help but swallow his saliva and took four or five in a row.
"Granny, let me do it!" Xu Xian's mouth was still stuffed with buns, and he quickly tried to snatch the cart over.
"Get out of the way. We have hands and feet. We don't need your help!”
Su Qiao, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke in a cold voice. Her cold attitude stunned Xu Xian, and he was in a dilemma for a moment.
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Xu Xian awkwardly withdrew his hand. Even the delicious steamed buns were tasteless now.
Su Qiao was still wearing the mask that she refused to take off. Just like her unapproachable heart, she kept Xu Xian a thousand miles away.
Xu Xian looked at the backs of the two people and couldn't help but feel sad. Ever since he returned to his soul, Su Qiao had been so cold, as if she had changed into a different person.
"There's no need to be like this. I never thought that you would drag me down, nor did I think that you would bring bad luck to the people around you!”Xu Xian murmured as he stared at her back.
Perhaps it was because of what happened in the fire that day, but Su Qiao stubbornly believed that she had brought him misfortune, just like all the things she had experienced since she was young.
Granny Liu looked at her daughter and couldn't help but sigh. After Xu Xian's accident in the fire, her daughter had been like this. She had always seen how depressed she was.
"Hmm? Whose purse is this?" Granny Liu suddenly said. There was a money bag lying quietly in the drawer.
The mother and daughter opened it curiously and saw more than ten silver coins shining. They were so scared that they gasped. Perhaps they had never seen so many silver coins in their lives.
"I think Xu Xian just put it in.”Granny Li thought for a moment and immediately reacted.
Su Qiao bit her lips tightly and said in a deep voice,""I'll return it to him when I go to his shop tomorrow!”
"That's good. It's not safe to hold so much money in your hands.”
Xu Xian didn't return to his dilapidated courtyard and walked in another direction. He had been staying at his sister's house for the past few days so that Xu Jiarong wouldn't have to worry about his safety.
When he reached for the steamed bun, Xu Xian had stuffed all the silver coins he had gotten in the morning into the drawer. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Xu Xian would always remember the taste of the steamed bun that day. Perhaps he would never feel that satisfaction again.
Although Xu Xian got a bag of gold coins, he didn't dare to give it to Su Qiao. After all, an innocent man would be punished if he had a treasure. Such a dazzling thing would cause trouble for the two of them.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Xian chewed the bun in his mouth like white wax. Thinking of Su Qiao's cold eyes, his back became more and more hunched as he walked home. On the bleak road, his high-spirited appearance was completely gone.
