Chapter 436 Goodbye Xun'er

As if she had noticed what the three people were thinking, Xun'er rolled her eyes helplessly, then looked at Zi Yan and Qing Lin who were sitting next to each other, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a smile,

"Qinglin, Ziyan, don't you recognize me now? It's only been a few years since we last met, how could you have forgotten me?"

After hearing these words, Medusa immediately withdrew her gaze from Xun'er and instead cast a slightly puzzled look in the direction of Zi Yan and Qing Lin.

Qinglin and Ziyan looked at each other, and then when they looked at Xun'er again, the familiar feeling in their eyes became stronger and stronger. The more they looked, the more familiar she looked, as if someone deep in their memory was gradually becoming clearer.

Qinglin, who possessed the three-flower pupil of a green snake, was more observant. She first noticed the familiar contours between Xun'er's eyebrows. The shadow of the past seemed to be hidden between those delicate eyebrows.

Then, I noticed Xun'er's unique temperament, that noble and fresh charm, which really seemed familiar.

The most important thing was the necklace worn on Xun'er's left wrist. The necklace emitted a faint halo and had a very unique style. It instantly evoked the scenes deep in Qinglin's memory, causing her eyes to widen suddenly, with a look of realization on her face.

"Sister Xun'er, it's you!" A light suddenly flashed in Qinglin's eyes. He stared at Xun'er with disbelief in his eyes. His mouth was slightly open, as if he still couldn't believe that the scene before him was real.

Hearing that Qinglin recognized her identity, Xun'er also nodded slightly in Qinglin's direction, even as a greeting. The action was elegant and friendly, like a spring breeze blowing, making people feel warm.

When Zi Yan, who was standing next to her, heard Qing Lin say this name, she suddenly seemed to remember something in her mind. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and the gaze she looked at Xun'er instantly overlapped with the face in her mind. She recognized Xun'er's identity at once.

"Ah, I was wondering why you looked so familiar, it turns out to be you, Xun'er!"

As Zi Yan said this, her originally puzzled face was instantly filled with surprise. She jumped lightly with her petite figure, and couldn't wait to get close to Xun'er. She looked so excited.

During the time at Canaan College, Zi Yan and Xun Er had been together day and night for several years.

During those days, Zi Yan not only often tasted the medicinal herbs carefully prepared by Xun'er, but also established a deep friendship with Xun'er and Xiao Ling in each other's company.

Therefore, there is no need for too many words between them. They are very close, just like sisters.

Seeing Zi Yan's personality was no different from a few years ago, Xun'er showed a knowing smile on her face. She naturally took Zi Yan's hand and said, "Zi Yan, you just recognized me now? If it weren't for Qing Lin's reminder, I'm afraid you wouldn't have recognized me..."

When Zi Yan heard Xun'er's words, she shyly twisted her body, then hugged Xun'er's arm and said, "Xun'er, don't talk nonsense. How could I not recognize you? But after all, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you have become so much more beautiful. That's why I didn't recognize you at first."

At this time, Qinglin also slowly walked to the side of the two people, looked at Xun'er, his eyes full of amazement, and couldn't help but exclaimed,

"Sister Xun'er, what Sister Zi Yan said is right. You have really become more mature and beautiful now. Sister Xun'er was already extremely beautiful, and now you are simply the most beautiful girl Qing Lin has seen in all these years."

Xun'er also withdrew her gaze from Zi Yan and cast her eyes on Qing Lin, who was standing gracefully beside her. Hearing this pleasant compliment, Xun'er unconsciously revealed a gentle smile on her face.

Although Xun'er had heard such compliments on her appearance many times before, which girl doesn't like being praised for her good looks? Especially when she heard it from Qinglin, who was close to Xiao Ling, it made Xun'er feel even happier.

"Sister Qinglin, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have grown up. You are now more graceful and beautiful. Your words are becoming more and more beautiful. I don't know who you learned them from."

As Xun'er spoke, she slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked Qinglin's emerald green hair. Her face was filled with a warm smile as bright as the sun, and her eyes revealed endless doting...

As they chatted like this, the atmosphere between the three of them seemed warm and beautiful, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Medusa looked at the warm and harmonious appearance of Xun'er and the other two, and then looked at herself standing here alone. She suddenly felt like an outsider who was out of place. She felt a strong urge to complain, and she couldn't help rolling her eyes helplessly.

Medusa was feeling depressed, and she happened to catch a glimpse of the guard standing nearby, doing something unknown. She immediately said unhappily,
"What are you still doing here? Get out and do your own thing."

Medusa's tone was a little annoyed, and the guard was frightened when he heard it. He quickly bowed respectfully and then hurriedly retreated.

The guards' movements were naturally noticed by the three women who were reminiscing about the past. This reminded them that there was a Medusa standing next to them.

Immediately, the three of them stopped chatting without any further delay and turned their gaze in the direction of Medusa.

There was a hint of apology in his eyes, as if he felt embarrassed for having ignored Medusa just now.

Medusa felt the gazes of the three people, raised her chin slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face, as if telling them that she didn't care.

It was Xun'er who spoke first, breaking the slightly strange atmosphere. She said, "This must be the famous Queen Medusa. I have heard of your name for a long time. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary and gorgeous."

"Haha, you're joking, young lady. I'm just the queen of a small tribe in a remote continent. I'm not worthy of being on the stage." Medusa shook her head and said with a chuckle.

Although her words were somewhat modest, her every move and gesture still couldn't conceal her queenly demeanor, and there was a hint of nobility in her eyes.

After hearing this, Xun'er just smiled faintly and did not ask any more questions. Although she was very curious, Medusa was just the queen of the snake people, how could she reach such a level of cultivation now.

In her perception, the aura emanating from Medusa has now reached the level of an eighth-order magical beast. This speed of improvement is simply terrifying.

Moreover, not only did Queen Medusa's cultivation level improve so quickly, but she also followed Xiao Ling and the others. According to common sense, there should be no friendship between them.

Xun'er didn't need to think too much. She could tell at a glance that Medusa's amazing changes must be related to her brother Xiao Ling.

However, although Xun'er was indeed curious about this matter, she did not directly ask about the situation.

After all, the current occasion was not appropriate. She thought that when she had time later, she could ask Zi Yan and the others, or just ask Brother Xiao Ling directly.

When the time comes, we can ask clearly and find out what the situation is.

At this moment, Xiao Ling, who had just finished chatting with Xiao Diao in the room, naturally also keenly noticed the movement coming from the courtyard. He couldn't help but feel a little curious, and without hesitation, he immediately raised his feet and walked out of the room and came to the courtyard.

As his figure appeared, the originally slightly subtle atmosphere seemed to have undergone several different changes, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

Xiao Ling glanced around casually and saw the people talking in the courtyard. But the next second, his eyes were fixed on the beautiful figure in green, and he couldn't move away.

That familiar figure, the cool and indifferent temperament, even just a silhouette, caused ripples in his heart. All the little details of their past interactions instantly came to his mind. The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted slightly, full of surprise.

"Long time no see, Xun'er, nice to see you again." Xiao Ling raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of tenderness and joy, and he spoke softly to Xun'er. Those words seemed to contain endless thoughts and concerns, and they floated gently towards Xun'er with the breeze, as if to convey the joy of reunion after a long separation to her heart.

"Yes, Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er and Brother Xiao Ling have already agreed that Xun'er will accompany Brother Xiao Ling to this alchemy meeting."

Xun'er smiled gently, and that smile was like the most beautiful flower blooming in spring, bright and charming. She stretched out her slender fingers and brushed a few strands of hair on her forehead behind her ears, showing her gentleness and cuteness.

At this moment, the breeze blew gently, like a gentle hand, gently lifting her green hem and her waterfall-like hair.

The hem of her dress danced in the wind, and her hair flew in the air, every strand seemed to be telling of agility and tenderness. The whole person standing there was like a beautiful painting, exuding a unique charm that made people unable to take their eyes off, as if all the beauty in the world was concentrated in her.

Xiao Ling took a few quick steps and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Xun'er. He stared at the pair of eyes that were always watching him tenderly, and felt a warm current surge in his heart, which instantly spread throughout his body.

Immediately, he couldn't help but stretch out his arms and gently embraced the stunning figure in front of him, as if he wanted to convey all his thoughts of these days to her through this hug.

Xun'er was slightly startled, then a blush appeared on her face, and she also snuggled into Xiao Ling's arms. The breeze blew gently, as if cheering for this reunion...

Zi Yan and the other two girls standing by knew something about the close relationship between Xun'er and Xiao Ling, so when they saw the two of them reacting like this, they didn't show any surprise.

When Zi Yan saw the two of them hugging each other tightly, she couldn't help but curl her lips, and then turned her eyes away, as if she thought that out of sight, out of mind, so as not to be disturbed by this disgusting scene.

Qinglin looked at the two people hugging each other, her face full of envy. Her eyes were sparkling, as if she was deeply infected by this beautiful atmosphere. There was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked so innocent and touching.

Although she had become Xiao Ling's woman, Qing Lin had never had the slightest possessiveness towards Xiao Ling, because her body and mind had already belonged to Xiao Ling. As for the deep feelings between Xiao Ling and Xun'er, she only had sincere blessings from the bottom of her heart.

Queen Medusa felt an inexplicable sour feeling in her heart, which was very unpleasant. However, she still maintained her composure on the surface, without showing any strange expression.

The delicate face was calm as water, as if nothing had happened. But deep in those slightly twinkling eyes, there seemed to be some complex and incomprehensible emotions, which were hard to fathom.

After a long time, the two people who were hugging each other slowly separated. At that moment, it seemed that time slowed down because of their warmth.

Their eyes met, filled with attachment and reluctance, as if they wanted to engrave each other's appearance deeply in their hearts.

The breeze blew gently, blowing their hair and also stirring the unspeakable feelings in their hearts.

Xiao Ling moved closer to Xun'er, kissed her lightly on the lips, and then separated gently. Then, he naturally took Xun'er's delicate hand.

Xun'er also obediently hugged Xiao Ling's arm and gently leaned her head on Xiao Ling's shoulder. Her movements were gentle and intimate, as if this was the most natural thing in the world.

Her eyes were slightly closed, her long eyelashes were gently trembling, there was a happy smile on the corners of her mouth, and her whole body exuded a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.

"Xun'er, this should be your first time to come to Shengdan City. I'll accompany you for a good stroll. It's a rare opportunity for you to come out." Xiao Ling turned his head to look at Xun'er beside him, stroking the smooth jade hand in his hand, and said with a chuckle.

"That's true. This is Xun'er's first time in Shengdan City. Since Brother Xiao Ling is accompanying Xun'er, it's naturally the best."

Xun'er was slightly startled, squinted her eyes, and then nodded obediently. Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a silver bell. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a sweet smile, and her eyes were full of expectation and joy.

"In that case, that's great. The Alchemy Conference will be held tomorrow, and right now is the busiest time in Shengdan City." Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, nodded slightly to Zi Yan and the other two as a greeting, then held Xun'er's slender hand tightly and walked out of the courtyard.

Xun'er followed Xiao Ling obediently, gently shaking her hand as if responding to Xiao Ling's enthusiasm. Then, she turned slightly and waved her other free hand in the direction of Zi Yan and the others as a farewell greeting.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures walked out of the courtyard, leaving only Zi Yan and the other two, quietly watching the two figures just leaving.

"Zi Yan, this must be Miss Xun'er whom you mentioned to me before. She is indeed a remarkable woman. Such a beauty is rare in the secular world. Moreover, I can vaguely sense a sense of danger from her. I guess her cultivation must be extraordinary." Medusa slowly retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes, and asked Zi Yan who was standing beside her.

"Yes, Xun'er and Xiao Ling lived in the same family since they were young, and later entered Canaan College together. They were childhood sweethearts. At first, she seemed to be a member of the Xiao family, but later she seemed to have returned to her own family."

"Although I don't know the specific background of that girl now, I think she must be very mysterious. According to my guess, she should be no less powerful than our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan." Zi Yan nodded and responded to Medusa.

"Sister Xiao Yixian and I have mentioned this matter to Young Master Xiao Ling before, but the young master never directly answered the question. He just said that Sister Xun'er's origins are very mysterious, and we will naturally know when the time is right." Qing Lin heard the conversation between the two and interrupted.

Hearing the two people talking like this, Medusa's eyes flickered slightly, as if thoughts were surging in them.

"A young lady from Zhongzhou? Childhood sweethearts, it is indeed a bit tricky, but, I will not admit defeat..."

……

Nowadays, Xiao Ling's face alone is well-known in Shengdan City. Wherever he goes, he seems to shine with his own light, naturally attracting the attention of countless people.

In addition, Xun'er had such a stunning face. If she and Xiao Ling walked side by side, basically everyone on the street would look at them. With everyone's eyes on them, the two people's experience of playing was naturally not very good.

Therefore, after being keenly aware of these slight inconveniences, Xiao Ling decisively used the methods of illusion and dream, weaving some exquisite illusions to quietly cover up the whereabouts of the two.

In this way, the previously much-noticed embarrassing situation was finally alleviated, and Xiao Ling and Xun'er could feel much more comfortable and relaxed, continuing to stroll leisurely in the streets and alleys of Shengdan City, enjoying their pleasant time.

They walked side by side, sometimes stopping to admire the small things on the street, sometimes chatting quietly, with smiles on their faces. At this moment, it seemed as if time had gone back, and they returned to the time when they were in the small city of Wutan. At that time, they were carefree and only had each other in their eyes.

Now, in this bustling city of Saint-Denis, they have found the tranquility and beauty again, as if the hustle and bustle around them has nothing to do with them, and they are immersed in a world that belongs only to them.

Xiao Ling looked at the beautiful figure beside him, his heart full of emotion. Xun'er has changed a lot compared to when she was a child. She has become more graceful and her temperament has become more ethereal and refined.

However, the tenderness and attachment in the eyes looking at me have never changed.

"Xun'er, it's great to have you." Xiao Ling's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but speak.

Xun'er blushed slightly when she heard Xiao Ling's straightforward words, but she looked directly into Xiao Ling's eyes and said softly, "Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er will always be with you..."
