Chapter 452 Owe

Zijin looked at Xiao Yan who was standing behind him. Yun Xiao, who was eating barbecue, heard Zijin's voice and turned his head. He looked up at Xiao Yan with his big watery eyes. He was confused at first. , and immediately it dawned on him.

It's the man I just met on the mountain!

Recalling his mother's teachings about not talking to strangers easily, Yun Xiao quickly hid behind Zi Jing, sticking out his little head from his side and staring at Xiao Yan warily.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan was slightly startled, with a strange color in his eyes, and his heart could not stop trembling.

This child actually is.

"Xiao Yan! I want to eat that too!"

At this moment, Zi Yan tugged on his sleeve and raised her finger to point to the barbecue on the stall. Her eyes flashed with golden light and drool drooled from the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Yan came back to his senses, looked at the clerk, and said softly.

"Please give me another list, including this child, how much is the total?"

When the clerk saw someone paying the bill, there was no need to maintain the atmosphere. He took a skewer of barbecue from the barbecue grill and handed it to Zi Yan. Zi Yan took it and bit it happily. The clerk also looked at Xiao. Yan glanced at the huge coffin behind him in confusion, then looked back.

"Ten gold coins in total."

Xiao Yan nodded, took it out and handed it to the clerk. The clerk put the money away and said a few words happily.

"I didn't expect you to have such a big daughter at such a young age." The clerk was lying on the counter, and Xiao Yan was stunned by what he said. Then the clerk looked down at Yun Xiao who was hiding behind Zijin, "That's great. Father came here specially to go shopping with you."

"He is not my father! Xiaoxiao doesn't know him! Xiaoxiao has never seen his father!"

Yun Xiao held the barbecue and denied it without hesitation, which made Xiao Yan's heart tremble, and the overwhelming guilt was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

The clerk was also suddenly startled, turned to look at Xiao Yan, noticed the slightly complicated look on his face, and said quickly.

"Sorry, I guessed wrong."

However, even though the clerk said this, he was also murmuring in his heart.

Can't? I have been in this business for many years. Apart from anything else, I can basically guess what kind of interpersonal relationships there are in front of the stall. Moreover, Xiao Yan and Yun Xiao in front of me seem to have many similarities at first glance. It feels like, could this not be father and daughter?

As for the clerk's words, Xiao Yan neither affirmed nor denied them, he just smiled wryly.

"It's okay, it's just that our family's situation is a little complicated."

Immediately, Xiao Yan slowly knelt down, looked at Yun Xiao who was hiding behind Zijin, and said softly.

"Xiaoxiao."

However, as soon as Xiao Yan opened his mouth, Yun Xiao immediately put Xiao's head back, clutching Zijin's clothes tightly. Because of the barbecue in his hands, the clothes behind Zijin were stained with oil, and he buried himself in Zijin's back and shouted.

"My mother said not to talk to strangers! Otherwise, I will never see my mother again!"

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Yun Yun teaches, although generally speaking, normal people would not dare to have any evil thoughts towards the daughter of the leader of the Yunlan Sect. Even if they ignore Yun Yun, the two giant Buddhas of Yunshan and Ziyun are both in Yunlan. Lan Zong is standing behind him, who wants to die?

But on the other hand, Yun Xiao's special status is also easier to be targeted than ordinary children. The money obtained from tying Yun Xiao may be enough to survive for a lifetime, provided that he is not afraid of death.

When the clerk saw this scene, a guess immediately came to his mind, and he looked at Xiao Yan helplessly.

"I just say to you young people, you are parents after all. Don't always think about your career and spend more time with your children. As time goes by, your children will no longer recognize you. You can't blame other people's children."

After hearing his words, Xiao Yan's guilt doubled again.

Although the clerk's guess was slightly off, there was still no problem in the general direction, but the reality might be more serious than what he guessed.

Xiao Yan stood up and nodded his thanks to the clerk. Although his words made him feel even more guilty, in a sense, an outsider accused him of his mistakes from an unrelated perspective, which also made Xiao Yan feel a little better. A little bit.

It is true that I didn't know anything before, but not everything can be ignored with the word "I don't know".

Then Xiao Yan looked at Zijin and showed a smile.

"Zijing, can I go shopping with you?"

Zijin looked up at Xiao Yan, then turned to look at Yun Xiao who was hiding behind her, with a hint of realization in her eyes.

Regardless of experience and strength, at least in terms of IQ, Zijing may be much better than his mother. I didn't know it before because I had never thought about this aspect, but the conversation between Xiao Yan and the clerk just now made it so obvious. If you can't see that these two years have been spent in vain.

"good."

Zijin smiled and nodded, then took the initiative to reach out and pull Yun Xiao out from behind, squatting beside him and whispering to Yun Xiao.

"Xiaoxiao, this big brother is not a stranger, he is a friend of Aunt Yunyun."

"Mother's friend?"

Yun Xiao opened his big and smart eyes and turned to look at Xiao Yan. Zijin smiled and rubbed Yun Xiao's hair.

"So don't be afraid, will this big brother take us to play together?"

Yun Xiao paused for a while, then nodded lightly.

"good."

In her heart, Zijing is one of her closest people, and she absolutely believes in everything Zijing says.

Since brother Zijing said it's okay, then it's okay.

Yun Xiao turned around and faced Xiao Yan, lowered his head and looked at the kebab in his hand, hesitated for a while, then raised his head and handed the kebab out.

"For you to eat!"

"Uh, for me?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, raised his hand and pointed at himself, and Yun Xiao nodded heavily.

"Mother said that we should learn to share delicious food with friends!" However, after saying this, Yun Xiao's eyes showed doubts, and the other hand touched his lips and whispered in confusion, "But you are mother's friend, not Xiaoxiao's friend, can Xiaoxiao not share with you?"

"Hehe"

The innocent words made Xiao Yan smile knowingly, and he squatted down and gently stroked Yun Xiao's head.

"If Xiaoxiao is willing, I can be your friend." Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and lifted Yun Xiao up. Yun Xiao did not resist and let Xiao Yan let her ride on his neck. "Let's go~ Uncle will take you to eat a lot of delicious food today."

"Great!"

Yun Xiao shouted happily, and then asked curiously.

"Why uncle? Big brother, you don't look like an uncle."

In the minds of children, the names of brother and uncle depend on the first impression of the other person. Uncle should refer to people of Gu He's age, but Xiao Yan gave her the feeling that he was about the same age as Nalan Yanran. Why did she call Nalan Yanran sister, but called Xiao Yan uncle?

"This is a secret, I'll tell you in a few days."

"Stingy!"

Xiao Yan chuckled, and Yun Xiao pouted a little unhappy.

Although Xiao Yan did not say it clearly, Zi Yan, who was eating barbecue, would not spend too much time on calling something that was irrelevant to her.

But Yao Chen and Zi Jing both knew why Xiao Yan wanted Yun Xiao to call him uncle. Calling him brother would be a mess. Calling him uncle would not be a big difference in generation, just like Xiao Jing asked Yun Xiao to call her aunt.

As for Xiao Yixian's thoughts? Unfortunately, she has no thoughts at all now. She has been autistic since she just met Yun Xiao. She has no psychological activities at all, and the luck in her heart has completely disappeared.

It's not that she has any opinions about Yun Xiao, but she was happy and passionate to compete with others on the track before. She thought that after a lot of hard work, Xiao Yan finally noticed her feelings. She was complacent about it and thought she was a big step ahead of others.

As a result, when she turned her head, she found that a person who was thought not on the track had already stood at the finish line, waiting to receive the prize.

This is no longer a question of winning or losing. It's not a game at all.

"Zi Yan, Zi Jing, let's go~"

Xiao Yan greeted Zi Yan and Zi Jing, carrying Yun Xiao and walking forward slowly.

Zijing followed behind him, looking at Yun Xiao who was very happy riding on Xiao Yan's neck, and couldn't help revealing a little envy in her eyes.

Father.

Zijing's heart was slightly moved. At least since he was conscious, he had never seen his father. When he asked about his mother, Ziyun just said casually, "She died a long time ago." This sounded very cold and ruthless, without any hesitation.

But at that time, Zijing was not really sad.

After all, it was a monster. The first person he saw was the one he was closest to. Even if he was the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, as long as he saw a rabbit when he opened his eyes for the first time, he would regard the rabbit as the closest monster. It was so simple and clear.

It was only after he turned into a human form in the past two years and came into contact with human society that Zijing could have a desire for a father and even wanted Xiao Yan to be his father.

And to be honest, although Ziyun was not a big problem as a mother, she was not really excellent.

In short, Ziyun treated her children in a way that she definitely gave them enough in terms of material, but she didn't care much about the spiritual aspect. This is why Ziyun could say those words to Yunyun without thinking at all, because she didn't care about this aspect in her cognition.

As for Warcraft, living happily every day is a day, and even improving strength is a bargaining chip to make oneself live happier. Why think so much?

Perhaps it is because of this that Zijing's personality is completely different from Ziyun. Compared with Ziyun, she is more considerate of others, just like now.

Xiao Yan couldn't get in touch with Yun Xiao directly, so he acted as a middleman and naturally pushed Yun Xiao to Xiao Yan, and didn't say anything to Yun Xiao about Xiao Yan's true identity.

Xiao Yan didn't say it now, there must be other reasons, so he shouldn't say anything.

(Don't think too much, as long as Xiao Xiao is happy.)

Zijing put away her envy and looked at Yun Xiao with eyes full of pampering.

When Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao meet, Xiao Xiao will be happier than now.

On the street, a pair of sisters are strolling leisurely. If passers-by observe carefully, they will find out the true identity of the sisters.

The eldest princess Yao Ye and the second princess Yao Yue of the Jia Ma Empire.

Usually, the two of them appear in front of the people in luxurious dresses, but now they are both dressed in inconspicuous civilian clothes. If you don't observe carefully, you really can't detect their identities. This is also the result they want.

Otherwise, I just go out to the street to relax, but everyone I meet will greet me respectfully, and I have to respond one by one, which is too uncomfortable.

"Boring!" Wandering aimlessly on the street, Yao Ye complained in a low voice, "The teacher has been so busy these two days that he can't take care of me. There is nothing to do in the palace. I am almost going crazy."

As soon as Yao Ye finished speaking, Yao Yue on the side said bluntly.

"If you really think so, how about you review the [National Development Policy] and [People's Livelihood Improvement Discussion] that the teacher taught you before? I remember that the last time the teacher tested this part, sister, you seemed to have just passed it?"

"Uh" Yao Ye's face suddenly became bitter, and she looked away slightly, "Actually, I think it's good to be idle."

"."

Yao Yue didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh helplessly.

She was brought up by Yao Ye since she was a child. How could she not know what kind of virtue her sister is?

Yes, Yao Ye can sacrifice her life for the country without hesitation, can face danger for the people, and will actively take responsibility when encountering things that everyone else can't hide from. She has absolute confidence and courage to make the Jia Ma Empire better.

However, it was too difficult for her to learn a systematic plan for governing a country. According to her, she knew every word individually, but when she read them together, she felt dizzy and could not understand what those words meant.

It is conceivable how powerful Xiao Jing was to be able to educate such a Yao Ye to the passing line.

That is why Yao Yue took the initiative to go to Xiao Jing's lectures with Yao Ye, so that even if her sister is not good at this in the future, she, the younger sister, can at least help her.

"Since you don't want to go back to review, don't think too much, relax well, and I will teach you if you have any questions when you go back. It will be too sorry for the teacher if you fail the exam next time"

"Hey! Yue'er, look there!"

Just when Yao Yue was chattering, Yao Ye suddenly interrupted her, which made Yao Yue a little dissatisfied. She followed her gaze to a roadside stall and was stunned.

Is that Xiao Yan?

Yes, it's him. I heard from my great grandfather that he came back these two days.

Then Yaoyue narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced around Xiao Yan.

The purple-haired girl she had never seen before, Zijing, and Xiaoxiao riding on Xiao Yan's neck? !

Yaoyue was stunned. It was not uncommon for Yunxiao to appear in Jiama Holy City. This child went to Jiama Holy City every other day, and they were used to it. Zijing also followed her every time to protect her.

But Yunxiao and Xiao Yan appeared together, which was different from the past.

Could it be that Xiao Yan already knew Xiaoxiao's identity?

Yaoyue frowned slightly, but Yaoye didn't think so much.

"Xiao"

She had a good impression of Xiao Yan, but she had no idea about the relationship between Yunxiao and Xiao Yan. She walked over happily and raised her hand to shout Xiao Yan's name.

However, before the word [Yan] came out, Yaoyue quickly covered her mouth and pulled her clothes towards the palace.

"Okay, don't bother me, let's go back to the palace, I'll teach you the topics we learned before."

"Wuwuhu?!!"

(Why? Didn't you just tell me to relax?)

Yaoye's mind was full of confusion, and Yaoyue just said it lightly.

"People should learn to read the atmosphere, and you have to learn more about this, sister."

Yaoyue spoke earnestly, but Yaoye didn't understand what she was saying at all, and was dragged away by Yaoyue without knowing why.

At this time, Xiao Yan felt something, turned his head slightly to look at the place where the two had just stayed, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Just now, it was His Highness Yaoye and Princess Yaoyue, right?

Yun Xiao, who was riding on his neck, lowered his little head and asked in confusion.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Ah, nothing, I just felt two familiar faces just now." Xiao Yan responded with a chuckle, looking up, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to eat candied haws?"

"Yes!"

Looking at the happy Yun Xiao, Xiao Yan's eyes showed a deep tenderness.

I'll visit His Highness Yaoye later.

Now, I have to make up for what I owed to this child.
