"Very good!"
Lu Xiaofeng pinched his beard and raised his eyebrows proudly. His eyes were shining, and he looked like a cocky little rooster. He had seen Xie Lige's kung fu before. She could make Simon Suisue look like a child. She was definitely one of the best in Jianghu.
He could not ask for more favors from such a person.
Xie Lige glanced at him and nodded. She took something out of her arms and handed it over. "If you need anything, take this to Hua Manlou's house and find me."
She held a purple token with strange patterns in her well-defined hand.
Lu Xiaofeng stood up and took the token. He looked at it carefully and found that the pattern was exactly the same as the pattern on Xie Lige's clothes. He understood that this might be an exclusive symbol, so he put it away.
The three of them stayed in Wanmei Villa for a long time. They left when Hua Manlou was able to stand up and walk around.
Before leaving, Xie Lige also gave Simon Suisue a token. He said concisely that if he wanted to have a kung fu competition next time, he could use this token to come to Jiangnan to find him. He would accompany him at any time.
Simon Suisue, who was seeing them off at the door, reached out and took the token with a cold face. He glanced at it and then handed it to the old butler next to him.
The old butler immediately understood. He smiled at Xie Lige and said, "The Villa Master will definitely visit you."
Xie Lige also nodded. "Very good!"
After that, he turned around and boarded the carriage behind him.
The handsome white horse in front of the gorgeous carriage snorted from time to time. After the sound of a whip, its four hooves flew together. The carriage quickly disappeared in front of Simon Suisue.
The carriage was very fast. It only took a few hours to reach Kunlun. Lu Xiaofeng also asked to stop at this time.
He bent down and walked out of the carriage. When he came to the ground, he smiled and said to the two people in the carriage, "I'm going to find an old friend."
Hua Manlou's eyes were covered by white bandages, leaving only his handsome chin exposed. When he heard Lu Xiaofeng's words, he couldn't help but laugh. "You're indeed the Lu Xiaofeng who has friends all over the world."
Lu Xiaofeng blinked and said with a smile: "You are also my friend!"
And they were best friends!
Hua Manlou sat in the carriage. When he heard Lu Xiaofeng say that he was his best friend, he smiled beautifully. "Of course!"
After saying that, Lu Xiaofeng left with his tail up high. He was gone for several months.
Hua Manlou and Xie Lige had already returned to the small building. At this time, the small building had changed from summer to autumn. The golden chrysanthemums in the courtyard were in full bloom, and the entire garden was filled with a fragrance.
The small building was located on the street, and people were coming and going. It was very lively.
On the first floor, Hua Manlou was immersed in the flowers and plants. He was used to the darkness, so his movements were not hindered. On the contrary, a happy smile appeared on his face.
There was nothing more comfortable for him than seeing his eyes get better step by step.
When Xie Lige came downstairs, he immediately saw Hua Manlou tending to the flowers and plants. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you are feeling good now."
Hua Manlou, who was holding a flower pot, suddenly heard the voice. He was stunned for a moment, but then he said with a smile, "Foster Father is joking."
Xie Lige shook his head. "You are much more pleasing to the eye now."
Xie Lige's Flower Room was a villain, but he did not like tragic characters. He appreciated people like Hua Manlou, who had a good heart, very much. He already had a good impression of him, and now that his eyes were better, everyone was happy. Xie Lige was naturally much more pleasing to the eye.
Tanshu, who was under his feet, raised its upper body and sniffed the air. After confirming Hua Manlou's position, it immediately used its little paws to move itself to Hua Manlou's feet.
It hugged with its little paws.
The whole squirrel hugged Hua Manlou's legs.
Hua Manlou carefully put down the flower pot in his hands. He groped around and picked up Furball, who was under his feet, and placed it in front of his chest.
After a few months, his eyes had become much better.
He could clearly feel the entire process of the meridians around his eyes being slowly healed by internal energy after they were destroyed. He even remembered the process of Xie Lige using his own internal energy and medicinal herbs every morning.
Xie Lige expressionlessly watched as the fat squirrel, who was originally sticking to him, immediately abandoned Hua Manlou when it saw him. He supported his face with one hand and looked sideways at his adopted son.
Compared to his previous life, this life was much more comfortable.
Hua Manlou had always been a child who respected his elders. He never had the arrogance of a child from an aristocratic family. On the contrary, he respected the old, loved the young, and loved life. He could hold his little chubby finger and listen to anything that had life.
The only thing that made Xie Lige feel a little uneasy was Hua Manlou's eyes.
However, he had already fulfilled this requirement.
Thinking of this, Xie Lige inwardly shouted, "Old Two, come out."
[Beep!
710517 at your service. Also, dear host, I am not called Old Two.]
Xie Lige's expression didn't change at all, "Did I complete the mission?"
The system raised its head and looked at the mission interface. It found that it was stuck at 95 and hadn't even crossed 100. It immediately said, "Hua Manlou's eyes haven't completely healed yet, so the mission can't be considered a complete success. However, it has already reached 95. Host, please continue to work hard."
Xie Lige frowned, "What kind of reasoning is that?"
The system mechanically replied, "Host, please wait patiently."
With this, Xie Lige understood that the system might not be convenient to explain, but this conversation had also revealed a lot of information to him. For example, he would soon be able to leave this world.
When he thought of leaving this world, Xie Lige thought of the two tokens that he had given away.
He rubbed his chin and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen that Lu Xiaofeng in about three months."
He thought that Lu Xiaofeng often came to play with his godson.
Xie Lige, who was preparing to spar with Lu Xiaofeng before he left, sighed regretfully. Hua Manlou, who was pinching the chubby Tanshu's paws, heard this and turned his head to see Xie Lige leaning on the table. The corner of his mouth twitched at the mention of Lu Xiaofeng's regretful tone.
He turned his head and smiled, but didn't say anything.
Tanshu, who was in his arms, had gained a lot of weight in the past three months. It wasn't light to begin with, but because of Hua Manlou's patient feeding, it had gained a lot of weight. It was originally just a pancake, but now it had become a ball.
Every time Xie Lige saw it, he would frown and poke it with his finger. Tanshu would raise its paws to hug the book on top of its head, but it couldn't avoid those slender fingers.
Fortunately, there was Hua Manlou.
Every time Hua Manlou heard the chubby squirrel's anxious squeaks, he would come over to help. He would gently carry Tanshu, who was in tears from being poked.
After they talked about Lu Xiaofeng last time, Xie Lige went back to his room to sleep and prepare to accept the test of the next world. A few days later, Lu Xiaofeng came over, looking travel-worn.
At that time, Xie Lige and Hua Manlou were both present. The two of them were doing the daily internal energy recuperation session in the morning. The flowers and plants beside them quietly emitted a delicate fragrance.
Suddenly, a travel-worn figure appeared outside the door. Xie Lige immediately recognized who it was when he saw that handsome face.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything else. After he entered the small building, he immediately ran to the table to pour water. He poured a few cups in a row before he felt that his thirst was barely quenched.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Tanshu in Hua Manlou's arms. He widened his eyes in shock. "How did this squirrel become so fat?"
When he heard someone say that he was fat, Tanshu angrily looked at Lu Xiaofeng, who was holding a cup and looking at him. "Squeak!"
"No!"
Lu Xiaofeng waved his hand and lowered his voice. He changed his tone and said, "I'm asking if you've eaten anything good recently."
On the contrary, Xie Lige wasn't so easy to talk to.
He directly said, "He's just fat. You don't have to find excuses for him."
Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the fat squirrel, whose tail kept shaking when he heard this. The fat squirrel was covering his face with his paws and didn't pay attention to him. For a moment, Lu Xiaofeng's messy thoughts disappeared and he relaxed and smiled.
When Xie Lige saw this scene, he thought of Lu Xiaofeng's heavy expression and suddenly felt that things weren't so simple. He leaned back in the armchair behind him and looked down at Lu Xiaofeng. "Tell me, what kind of trouble did you encounter?"
Hua Manlou felt that the treatment was over. He carried Tanshu to the side and took out a few plates of snacks from the side cabinet and placed them on the table. Tanshu, who was in his arms, kept sniffing at the plate that was emitting the aroma of food.
It sneakily looked back at Xie Lige. It held back and did not make a move.
The plate of snacks was successfully placed on the table.
Lu Xiaofeng put down the teacup in his hand and didn't answer Xie Lige. Instead, he looked at Hua Manlou and sighed. "It's really quiet here. There's no trouble."
"If we switched places, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to stay here for even a moment!" Hua Manlou said good-naturedly.
Lu Xiaofeng agreed and said, "That's true."
He really couldn't stand loneliness and liked to pursue freedom. To make him stay in a small building forever was worse than killing him.
After saying this, he nodded and came back to his senses. He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the recent events in Jianghu.
"This swordsman competition is really troublesome."
"Troublesome?" Xie Lige played with the jade pen in his hand. "Simon Suisue found a new candidate?"
Hearing the two names mentioned by Xie Lige, Lu Xiaofeng immediately had a headache. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it uncomfortably. He said to himself, "They are also the two most powerful swordsmen in the world."
Xie Lige said thoughtfully, "Ye Gucheng?"
Lu Xiaofeng was about to say the other candidate when he heard Xie Lige's words. He was surprised and lost his voice. "How do you know?"
He had just learned about this matter. The two main characters were his good friends. As the middleman, he had been worried all day. As a result, he ran to the small building to hide for a while.
