Yan Xiao immediately covered his face, and his face flushed red. Only then did she swallow the rice in her mouth, took a few heavy breaths, and glared at Jian Mo. "Cough, what are you talking about!"
Jian Mo looked at Yan Xiao with a helpless expression. Seeing that I did not want to say it, even if I did say it out loud, if you glare at me like that, I would be so innocent and wronged.
Yan Xiao's eyes were rolling up to the sky.
"If you like it, I'm not willing to show it to you. Don't just stand here, do what you need to do." Yan Xiao waved her hands like a little dog.
Jian Mo remained silent. He picked up a stack of books at the side of the table, which he did not take away: "The more people there are, the stronger the power, I can help to look for them. If I find them earlier, it would be more helpful to Aunt's condition."
These words made so much sense that Yan Xiao was actually speechless and silently ate the rice in her mouth.
Jian Mo, however, slowly opened the book. Yan Xiao could not help but say: "The poison in my mother's body is extremely overbearing, it's a type of poison that can corrode the organs in the body.
Jian Mo asked: "Then if aunty doesn't remember, could it also be because of this poison?"
Yan Xiao thought for a while and said: "Right now, I'm still not completely sure, but I suspect that my mother's foolishness is more of an external factor."
Jian Mo immediately understood that even though Mei Luo's head had been tormented to such a state, he didn't have a single piece of good skin.
In reality, being tormented like this, Mei Luo could still be considered lucky to be alive. Of course, there was also another reason, and that was because if a person died, how would Hong Yan torture him?
When Yan Xiao said till here, her tone became even colder: "This poison is extremely overbearing. If it was given in large doses, ordinary people would not live past a year."
Mei Luo had been tormented for so many years, that was why she purposely took small doses and slipped away. She wanted Mei Luo to die, and she kept being tormented.
Jian Mo's hand that was flipping through the book stopped, and raised her head to look, but Yan Xiao was eating as though nothing had happened, and she was even really hungry, and ate even faster than usual, to show his good appetite.
Jian Mo's heart tightened, and said: "How many books do you have on you right now, do you think you can finish them all?"
Yan Xiao frowned: "About a hundred or so."
A hundred books, was exactly what Yan Xiao had said. It would take at least three to five days, but there was nothing she could do about it.
As for Yan Xiao who was a cultivator, although she would normally not have anything to do after training for three to five days, he was willing to do so: "Then I'll help to check it out as well.
Yan Xiao was the first one to stop eating, her throat slurred. "Thank you .." "Thank you."
Jian Mo stared at Yan Xiao, his eyes unblinking, and said with deep emotion: "If in the future, what I will do for you, it would be great if you didn't say thank you."
Yan Xiao did not understand: "Then what do you want to say?"
Jian Mo smiled and said: "When you feel at ease to accept my help, anything will do."
Yan Xiao was a little lost. He blinked her pure and moving eyes slightly, and when he seriously thought about it, her eyes seemed even brighter.
If others were to help him, he would be able to accept it. Only then would he be able to do so shamelessly, "Hmph, looking down on me like that."
Jian Mo knew that Yan Xiao did not expect this, but he was not angry, and only smiled while explaining: "Of course not, it's because you're not like this, that's why I'm conflicted.
Yan Xiao glared at Jian Mo with his brows knitted, and continued to speak disapprovingly: "Whatever I do for you, you can accept it, but that would be the ideal situation."
What kind of situation would this be?
When parents do things for their children and lovers do things for themselves, they do it from the bottom of their heart. Moreover, the other party also agrees to do it and accepts it.
Yan Xiao paused suddenly as she sheld onto his food. She could feel Jian Mo's deep malice, was this really the Jian Mo that she knew as well as that Smothering Gourd? That day, she could not even speak a few words, and when she did, he was extremely straightforward. She looked extremely serious, so cold that the muscles on her face were frozen into a block of ice.
Yan Xiao chewed on the rice in her mouth forcefully, if she was not mistaken, he had been flirting with Jian Mo for a long time. In the end, she was even foolishly speaking with someone, getting taken advantage of by Jian Mo for a long time!
Yan Xiao felt that her entire being was in a bad spot, she stared at Jian Mo like a torch.
"Hur hur, I don't think that day will come."
Both of Jian Mo's hands were placed on the table. He held his hands lightly and smiled faintly as he looked at Jian Mo: "No, my premonition is the exact opposite of yours. Let's make a bet."
"Why should I gamble when there's nothing to begin with? I don't want to do it!" Yan Xiao sneered in her heart, she still wanted to continue taking advantage of his, hahaha, did she think that she, Yan Xiao, was an easy target!
Even though Jian Mo was not rejected, nor was he dissatisfied with being criticized, he still calmly looked at Yan Xiao with a face full of doting, as if she was going to turn into a warm cloth and wrap Yan Xiao up.
Yan Xiao lowered his head and quickly finished his food. This fellow was simply too amazing.
Are Jian Mo and Jian Huan really brothers?
Oh..." "At times like this, they are really good brothers, haha!
"Eat slowly, no one is going to fight with you for it." Jian Mo still dares to speak!
Yan Xiao ate even faster, seeing that Jian Mo had no choice but to keep quiet, he lowered his head and flipped through the book for information on the poison in Mei Luo's body.
Yan Xiao quickly finished her meal and cleaned up the table. She placed the box in Jian Mo's hand and sent him away.
Jian Mo looked at the tightly shut door and sighed helplessly. Looking at him who seemed to be a ferocious flood and ferocious beast, how could he be so terrifying?
Yan Xiao made a face at the door, stretched his body in a simple manner, and then sat down to continue working, his eyes quickly searching for information. Suddenly, she raised his head slightly, and looked at the door, the expression on her face suddenly changing to a strange one.
She had ignored a question!
Jian Mo had always thought of her as a man, right?
Did Jian Mo find out that she was a girl?
No, it shouldn't be.
Then, what Jian Mo had said before was all to her, no, the one who thought herself to be a man?
Yan Xiao could not help but think of something. She seemed to have heard Jian Huan talk about how his big brother was not close to women in the past and did not have any bad habits, but his cultivation was extremely dangerous.
Avoid women... Not close to a woman!
Yan Xiao chewed on these words, her face kept changing, and in the end, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
So that was the problem!
Yan Xiao rubbed her forehead. Jian Mo liked men, right? That was why he didn't like women! Seeing such an outstanding young girl dressed in men's clothes, who didn't feel disharmony at all, wouldn't Jian Mo be moved by her cute and beautiful little brother?
At this moment, Yan Xiao's heart was extremely complicated.
When she was on the mountain, her teachers and senior brothers all knew that she was a girl, but everyone's lives were very natural, no one had any ulterior motives towards men and women, and Yan Xiao had also gotten used to living with master and senior brothers, so his personality was more or less subtle. To put it bluntly, he did not have a weak heart like most girls, and it was not because they touched her bottom line, but there were some things that she did not care too much about.
This was also why people like Jin Yi and Jian Huan never suspected that she was a male.
With them, there was always something strange about the way women dressed as men. Although a woman's instinct and Yan Xiao didn't care about being rude or being out of bounds with them, it wasn't too obvious as she subconsciously avoided it. No one cared about it at all.
It was because she was used to it, that Yan Xiao and the others were more suited to it. Naturally, Yan Xiao would not deliberately say anything about her gender.
Thus, along the way, the success of her disguise as a woman had even made Jian Mo fall in love with her, who was dressed as a man.
Yan Xiao speechlessly rolled her eyes. This dragon is so noisy, I can't even look at it!
Yan Xiao shook his head and continued to read the book, thinking that he would mention it again when he went out to talk to Jian Mo. Since he had thought of the things that Jian Mo had misunderstood, then she would have explained it to him later. It would be no difference, it would be even better than when Jian Mo had misunderstood her.
In any case, it was already like this. Was there anything worse?
Yan Xiao, on the other hand, was quite open-minded. He felt that he no longer had any problems with this matter, and had even read a little more.
After dinner, Jin Yi and Jian Huan led the way to the smithy, where Jian Mo was taking care of Mei Luo. They were both very careful on the way, trying to avoid everyone's eyes and ears.
After Jian Mo finished eating, he did not take long to knock on the door again.
Hearing that it was Jian Mo, Yan Xiao's expression became strange and people entered.
After entering, Jian Mo saw Yan Xiao look at him with a strange gaze. The expression in her eyes was so complicated that people couldn't understand him, as if she felt some guilt and sympathy, and had some unfathomable emotions.
Being looked at in such a way, Jian Mo felt that it was a bit strange, but at the same time, he was also extremely nervous: "What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"
Yan Xiao's expression was now much better than it was during the day.
Yan Xiao nodded at Jian Mo: "Let's sit down first."
His expression was solemn.
As Jian Mo sat down, the indescribable feeling in his heart grew stronger.
Yan Xiao obviously thought about the words for a while, before slowly saying: "Jian Mo, I think we should talk seriously."
Jian Mo replied with a "En". He gave Yan Xiao a weird look, but his eyes were filled with anticipation. "You promised me, you want to be together with me?"
