Chapter 2564 A Romantic Debt
Few members of the entire Dawn have seen the real face of the Great Elder, because the Great Elder rarely appears on weekdays, and only shows up a few times in important occasions.
The rest of the time, she is like a dragon that is hard to find. The probability of seeing the Great Elder is too low. Even in Dawn, if someone sees her, they may not recognize her.
The four of Qinglong Zhuque have seen the Great Elder. In Dawn, the Great Elder is like a monster that never grows up, and she always keeps this face.
She is old enough to be Zhuque's mother, because the practice of the Great Elder can preserve the essence in the body, so she has such an ageless face.
"Your practice method is not owned by Dawn. The practice is too yang, which just restrains the power in your body. I guess this should be taught to you by Xiao Yi?"
The Great Elder revealed the mystery in one sentence, and Zhuque also knew that she could not hide the truth in front of the Great Elder.
At this moment, Zhuque nodded. The elder had her principles and would not vent her anger on her because of such things.
"It was indeed Xiao Yi who taught me, elder, but you must not be angry. Xiao Yi was trying to save me. I broke the rules of Dawn and I am willing to accept the punishment."
Zhuque said with his head down. There is an unwritten rule within Dawn, that is, members of the sect must practice the cultivation method within the sect.
What Zhuque did was equivalent to betraying the master and destroying the ancestors. If the situation is serious, he will be expelled.
"Okay, there is no need to say this. Those pedantic rules have no effect on me. Originally, this cultivation matter is to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses."
"Will you not blame me for this, elder?"
"Blame? What do you blame me for? I'm not old and confused. I can't even tell the most basic right from wrong."
To be honest, the elder came out of seclusion this time because it was too uncomfortable to stay inside, so she planned to come out for some fresh air.
So many things happened in the outside world, and she couldn't stay out of it and be a free and easy person.
"Xiao Yi... This name is really interesting. It reminds me of another person. What a pity..."
The elder had something to say. He stopped talking here. Even if Zhuque heard it, he would not understand the meaning.
"Okay, you take a rest for a while. I'll go out for a walk first. It will be very beneficial for you to be with Xiao Yi. You know what to do."
Zhuque didn't say anything. He watched the elder leave, then sat on a chair alone and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Yi came out of the third elder's room. The third elder had fallen asleep at this time. He had been worried about Zhuque's safety for several nights. His body couldn't bear it.
The territory of Dawn is like a paradise. Living in such a place all the time will make you forget all the troubles in your heart.
Walking on a road paved with bluestone slabs, there is a ginkgo tree in the center of the residence.
The ginkgo tree has experienced vicissitudes of life. For thousands of years, it has always stood here, witnessing the changes in the human world and exuding an ancient atmosphere.
When Xiao Yi approached the ginkgo tree, breathing the air here, the whole person felt much more comfortable. At this pleasant moment, a gust of wind blew past Xiao Yi's ears.
"Hehe..."
He stretched out two fingers, and a ginkgo leaf was about to hit Xiao Yi's face, but he blocked it with two fingers.
An ordinary leaf can also become a murder weapon, but when Xiao Yi pinched the leaf between his fingers, he smiled at this moment.
"Is this a gift for meeting?"
Xiao Yi pinched the leaf with his fingers, and when the leaf was about to hit Xiao Yi, the force was gone.
"Hehe... Your reaction speed is really fast. I was worried that I would hurt you, so I kept it in advance."
On the branch of the ginkgo tree, there was a woman sitting at this moment. It was the first time Xiao Yi saw this woman's face.
The woman was wearing an orange-red Luo skirt, with her legs on the branch, swinging slightly, like a child.
She had a ponytail, and her face seemed to be able to pinch out water, and her eyes narrowed and she laughed like a silver bell.
"Are you testing my depth?"
Xiao Yi pinched the leaves in his hand and threw them out.
The woman sitting on the branch jumped down from the tree, with two smooth legs and a pair of embroidered shoes on her feet.
"I know your ability, so I won't be bored and come to test your ability. I just heard about your story and came to see you out of curiosity."
"Are you also someone in Dawn?"
"I guess so. Your name is Xiao Yi. There is a mysterious Xiao family in China. Are you also from it?"
The woman asked this as soon as she opened her mouth. This is the biggest secret in Xiao Yi's heart, and naturally he would not say it easily.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Yi said, the woman walked around Xiao Yi and turned around him. As expected, she saw the shadow of an old friend on Xiao Yi.
It is said that women with big breasts are brainless, but this sentence has nothing to do with her. She is big and wise at the same time.
"Whether it's true or not, you know it best in your heart. I'm just asking. Don't be nervous."
"I'm definitely not nervous, but some people's inner secrets cannot be pried into casually."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xiao Yi's back. He actually felt a little fear from this woman.
Standing in front of her, he felt as if he could be seen through. This feeling was very uncomfortable. Xiao Yi calmed down and tried not to let himself get confused.
The woman's identity was the great elder of the Dawn, but if no one told Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi would never have thought of her identity. She chuckled at this moment.
"What is your relationship with Xiao Huaiyi?"
Xiao Yi was stunned. Just with this action, the woman already had the answer in her heart. Xiao Yi could admit it or not.
"What... what Xiao Huaiyi?"
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just thought of an old friend. Xiao Huaiyi owed a romantic debt and has not repaid it yet. It's a pity..."
The woman's words made Xiao Yi unable to answer or continue asking. He had to stand here and pretend that he didn't understand anything.
Just seeing Xiao Yi once, she had confirmed Xiao Yi's identity. She didn't need to continue asking. This topic was over.
"What does this woman mean? Could it be that my father had a lover outside? Even his daughter is this old now?"
