Chapter 35: Guilt

　Hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Mei was stunned, and then felt a little embarrassed. If another girl in the family spoke like this, she would be able to gain the upper hand in the discourse with her beauty and talent, but if her opponent was Xun'er, she would only feel frustrated.

　　Glancing at Xiao Yan's indifferent expression, Xiao Mei let out a bitter smile of self-mockery in her heart and had to leave in embarrassment.

The crowd in the training ground stared at Xiao Yan, who was being held affectionately by Xun'er, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous. As the most dazzling pearl in the family, when had they ever seen Xun'er treat a man like this?

　　Looking at Xiao Mei's awkward back, Xiao Yan was stunned. Feeling the tenderness on his arm, he turned his head and looked at Xun'er who was smiling. He couldn't help but jokingly said, "Nizi, what are you doing?"

Xun'er still held Xiao Yan's arm, her eyes swept through the people around her who were stunned by her intimate behavior, and then she asked innocently: "Brother Xiao Yan, don't you want to reject her?"

　　Hearing this, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. The rejection came from the two people's mouths, but it had completely different meanings. Recalling the embarrassment on Xiao Mei's face before, he shook his head helplessly, glanced at Xun'er who was smiling sweetly, and muttered in his heart: This girl must have done it on purpose, right?

　　"Xun'er just doesn't like how quickly she changes her expression. Haha, we've never been invited to go to the Fighting Arts Hall to learn fighting skills together." Xun'er pulled Xiao Yan and slowly walked out of the training ground. She ignored the eyes around her and spoke softly to herself with a hint of sneer in her voice. She was really not impressed by Xiao Mei's different attitude before and after.

　　Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Xiao Yan nodded with some empathy and smiled bitterly. Three years ago, his relationship with Xiao Mei was not bad, but it was not until he was labeled as a waste that he truly saw how realistic this woman was.

　　Looking at Xiao Yan and Xun'er walking out of the training ground intimately, Xiao Ning's face twitched in the distance, and his fists clenched tightly, making a creaking sound. The jealousy in his heart even made his eyes a little red.

　　"Little bastard, in a month, I will make sure your teeth are all gone!" Xiao Ning gritted his teeth and said in a fierce voice, then left the training ground angrily with a belly full of rage.

　　Xiao Zhan, who was about to go back on the high platform, was also shocked by this scene. He stared at the intimate figures of the two people. After a little surprise, a hint of hidden worry flashed across his eyes: "Yan'er, this child, won't... won't fall in love with Xun'er, right? You know, her identity... is not comparable to Nalan Yanran. Even if she has a terrifying talent for cultivation, it is not easy to get the recognition of the forces behind her."

　　After a moment's silence, Xiao Zhan sighed softly, shook his head, and slowly left.

　　…

　　With the girl holding his arm, his elbow would always touch something warm and soft while walking. The wonderful touch made someone feel a little shameless and distracted.

　　After turning another small path, Xun'er suddenly let go of Xiao Yan's arm with a blushing face, her cheeks slightly puffed up, and glared at him coquettishly.

　　Without that soft and wonderful touch, Xiao Yan felt empty inside and he sighed with a sense of loss. His eyes almost uncontrollably moved to the girl next to him. The slightly upturned little breasts hidden under the light green clothes, although immature, had already begun to take shape, with a unique temptation of immature fruit.

　　Feeling Xiao Yan's slightly fiery eyes, Xun'er's elegant face was immediately flushed. She raised her hands reflexively and said shyly, "Brother Xiao Yan, you..."

　　"Cough... cough..." Xiao Yan was awakened by Xun'er's angry voice. He coughed twice violently. His face turned red. He smiled awkwardly and wailed in his heart: "What a wicked beast! He actually has feelings for his own sister?"

　　Although Xun'er and Xiao Yan were not actually related by blood, they had lived together for more than ten years after all, and their relationship was not much different from that of siblings. And now Xiao Yan was actually taking advantage of his nominal sister, so it was no wonder that he felt a little guilty...

　　This sudden episode disrupted the atmosphere between the two people. For a moment, the atmosphere was silent and charming.

　　Xun'er lowered her head with a blushing face. Her previous elegance had completely disappeared in the shyness of having her forbidden area touched. Her eyes occasionally flickered, only to see Xiao Yan's face that was not looking away.

　　In this strange atmosphere, a path that is not too long seems like a long march that never ends.

　　Of course, no matter how long the long march is, it has an end. When they reached the fork in the path, Xiao Yan greeted everyone awkwardly and wanted to flee.

　　"Brother Xiao Yan."

　　Looking at Xiao Yan who was running away in a panic, Xun'er was slightly stunned, then she burst into laughter and called out softly.

　　"Huh?" Xiao Yan paused and looked back at the pretty girl standing under the willow tree. His already restless heart skipped a beat.

　　The girl is dressed in light green, and against the backdrop of the green willow trees, she looks even more elegant and charming. A breeze blows by, blowing the girl's long black hair that falls down to her waist. A purple belt above her slender waist highlights her graceful figure.

　　"Tomorrow...will you accompany Xun'er?"

　　Under the willow tree, the girl's delicate face was slightly flushed, her pearly teeth gently bit her alluring red lips, and her pair of beautiful autumn-water eyes were looking at Xiao Yan not far away with full of expectation and an inexplicable charm.
