After the farce, Xu Xian helped the stubborn Su Qiao into his shop. He quickly found clean clothes and dried the rain on her long hair.
"Take this money. I won't forget your kindness back then!”Xu Xian handed over the money pouch.
Su Qiao wanted to refuse again, but Xu Xian stopped her and said unhappily,""If you're not willing to accept this money, I'm afraid we won't even be friends in the future!”
Hearing Xu Xian's words, Su Qiao, who had been silent all this while, trembled slightly. She said in a self-deprecating manner,""Yeah, we're just ordinary friends!”
Su Qiao didn't reject Xu Xian's good intentions and turned to leave. Before she left, she forced a smile and said,""Just ordinary friends?"
For some reason, Xu Xian had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was as if something was missing in his heart and his heart was empty.
Xu Xian thought about it for a long time, but he swallowed it back. He opened his mouth and smiled bitterly,""Of course not. I treat you like my own sister.”
"Then goodbye, brother!"
Su Qiao smiled and waved her hand to leave. The moment she turned around, she could no longer control her tears. Lian Chengxian's tears flowed down his cheeks and fell into the rain, but they did not even ripple.
Xu Xian stood at the door in a daze. His brows were tightly knitted together. He didn't know why he was doing this. This was obviously not the result he wanted.
It was as if in his heart, he had always treated Su Qiao as his sister and had never had any other thoughts.
Like a bolt from the blue, Xu Xian felt a sharp pain in his heart as he thought about their relationship.
Xu Xian tried hard to find the missing part of himself. Beads of sweat dripped down his pale face like soybeans, wetting his clothes as if he was in great pain.
"Xu Xian, stop thinking about it!"
The little fox finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him.
Xu Xian tilted his head to look at the little fox on his shoulder. He pointed at his heart and said bitterly,""I feel like something is missing here. Can you see it?”
The little fox looked at Xu Xian in disbelief. Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, she said in surprise,""Don't you know that your three souls and seven spirits are missing one?”
Xu Xian endured the pain in his heart and remembered that on the day he left the Yellow Springs, Ah Xiang had used a part of her soul to pawn the notes of the Fire Controlling True Secret Art.
"Damn it, someone did take a soul. Can you tell which soul it is?”Xu Xian frowned in pain.
Back then, Ah Xiang had asked him to guess which part of his soul was lost, but Xu Xian still hadn't figured it out.
"The seven spirits are nothing more than joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire. If I'm not wrong, Master might lack the primary spirit of 'love'!”
The little fox's face was full of worry. She didn't understand what kind of divine ability the other party had used to take a soul from Xu Xian's body. In her eyes, Xu Xian was almost invincible.
Xu Xian, however, was puzzled. He muttered to himself,""What is 'love'? Why am I so knowledgeable, but I don't know what 'love' means?”
Xu Xian, who was in a daze, could not let go for a long time. This familiar and unfamiliar word lingered in his heart for a long time and he could not understand it. What was love?
"Do you know what love is?" Xu Xian asked the little fox.
Chu Chu stared into Xu Xian's eyes and stammered for a long time, but she still couldn't understand. She said,""I don't know either. Chuchu is still young and hasn't experienced these things.”
Even so, the little fox thought to herself,'Could my feelings for Xu Xian be love?' That kind of reluctance to leave and the desire to stay by his side for the rest of her life was perhaps love!
"Xu Xian, what's wrong? With such an ugly expression, should she go and see Mr. Sun?”
A disheveled figure emerged from the curtain of rain. It was Lu Yi, who had just arrived. She saw Xu Xian's pale face and fell to the ground in pain. Ignoring the rain, she ran over in a panic.
Lu Yi helped Xu Xian sit up. After a while, Xu Xian threw those thoughts to the back of his mind. He thought to himself that he must find Ah Xiang and get that soul back on the next full moon.
"It's fine! I'm much better now. Don't worry!" Xu Xian gave him a reassuring look.
Lu Yi stared at Xu Xian suspiciously, as if she would immediately take action if he showed any signs of abnormality.
"Eh? What a cute little fox. Her entire body was snow-white. It was rare to see her!”Lu Yi finally noticed Chuchu and couldn't help but praise her.
Chu Chu happily wagged her furry tail, seemingly very satisfied with this unfamiliar friend of hers.
"Hey, this little guy is so understanding. Let me see!”
Lu Yi was about to touch Xu Xian when Xu Xian moved back and avoided her hand. Xu Xian explained,""This little thing is very fierce. I'm afraid it will bite you!”
Chuchu pretended to grimace and put on an expression that said she was not to be trifled with. Lu Yi was so scared that she quickly retracted her arm and said embarrassedly,""I almost forgot that foxes are carnivores!”
"Oh right, I've already asked around for you. The house I saw on the road yesterday belongs to Old Master Liu Ji, but it has been idle for several years. For some reason, it hasn't been sold.”
Lu Yi thought of what Xu Xian had told her yesterday and quickly told her everything she had learned from her father.
Xu Xian looked at the sky outside. The dark clouds were gradually dispersing. It shouldn't be raining for long. It was time for the sky to clear up.
"This rain won't last long. When the rain stops, we'll go take a look at that house. I've long wanted to change to a bigger house!”
Although Sun Wanqing had given him a mansion, his sister did not allow him to live there. She did not even allow him to spend the gold. She said that the money and the mansion were unlucky and that if there was a chance, she would return it to Lin An Manor.
Xu Xian knew what her sister meant. She didn't want to take advantage of him, nor did she want to mention the depressing matter of her " resurrection ", so she didn't say anything more.
However, the idea of moving to a bigger house for his sister to live in had never stopped for a day. On the way to the ceremonial room to register for the spring examination yesterday, he happened to see an empty house, so he said this.
"Although you got more than ten silver coins from Old Master Xin yesterday, I don't know if it's enough. I'm afraid it's a bit expensive.”
Lu Yi only knew what happened in the shop yesterday. As for the development of the Xin residence, she knew nothing about it.
Xu Xian couldn't say it directly, so he explained,""Anyway, it doesn't cost money to take a look. I might as well go around and take a look. It can also be considered to broaden my horizons and see what kind of houses this rich family has.”
Lu Yi nodded in approval. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She sneakily leaned over and whispered,"I'll return this book to you. Remember not to tell anyone about this!”
Lu Yi took out the masterpiece from her bosom and reluctantly handed it to Xu Xian. If there were others here, they would definitely be surprised.
The little fox on his shoulder did not understand what was going on. She quickly poked her head out to see what kind of good book it was. When she saw the words "Golden Lotus" on the list, the little fellow was so shocked that she almost fell.
Xu Xian acted as if nothing had happened and solemnly pressed it under a pile of books. No one would be able to find it.
Xu Xian seemed to have sensed a strange gaze, so he turned around and looked at Chuchu. The shop suddenly fell silent…
