Warm Fuzzies

After Zilan left, Sydney was still sitting quietly in the house alone.

Because Zilan didn't want her to see, Xueli sat on the bed without moving, and even didn't open her eyes for a while.

Sydney only heard the sound of the wooden door "creaking" open, and the room seemed to be briefly illuminated by a little light, and then the wooden door closed, and it was back into darkness.

Only then did Sydney open her eyes.

The original setting was restored in the room, there was no one there anymore, it was empty, but Zilan's aura close at hand showed that he had indeed been here, and everything just now was not a dream.

She stroked her lips lightly.

She is very unfamiliar with such an intimate act like just now, but at this moment, it seems that the breath, touch and temperature left by Zilan still remain in this position.

Sydney has a very strange feeling, Zilan's return, and his kisses are all impacting her original concepts and emotions.

Sydney maintained her original sitting posture, her posture a little nervous.

She just sat there for a long time, as if she had been sitting all night.

She watched as the halo from the window gradually deepened, and then gradually brightened again, until the sky turned fish-bellied white.

…

When the little uncle came to visit Sydney early this morning, Sydney was still sitting in the room foolishly.

When the little master went out that day, Dai Youzong woke up at dawn as usual, and was laboriously spreading the newly delivered herbs in the peak courtyard with his back bent.

He was surprised to see Xun Wang stepping out of the house alone so early, and asked, "Are you going out? Didn't you have a competition from the Xinglin Club today?"

Ever since Lin Shao left Xinglin Peak, Xun Wang, a junior, has become more gloomy and less talkative, shutting himself in a claustrophobic infirmary all day long, often staying at home for days, which is worse than ordinary Tsing Yi sect disciples who devote themselves to cultivation. , rarely set foot in the outside world, so Dai Youzong has been quite worried about him these years.

Therefore, Dai Youzong couldn't help but be surprised to see Xun Wang walking out of the house without any reason today.

When Xun Wang saw his master calling him, he paused for a while, and without explaining in detail, he simply replied, "...um."

Dai Youzong's face showed a rare joy: "Great! This is a good thing! Wang'er, you have gone out more than usual in the past two days. You are so young, you shouldn't be bored all day long. In our own peak, it is better to go out and walk more, just to relax."

Over the years, Xun Wang has rarely seen such a happy expression on his master's aging face over the years, and even the furrowed wrinkles seem to be a little more kind. Seeing the other party's obvious joy, Xun Wang couldn't help but pause.

He was going to see Sydney.

In order to find out what he wanted to know, he also went out yesterday and didn't come back until evening. In Master's opinion, it should be because he has been going out very frequently recently.

But the master was so happy that he must have noticed other things besides seeing him going out. If Xun Wang guessed correctly, the master must have seen his emotions.

After seeing Sydney yesterday, he did feel a lot less stressed all of a sudden.

But is it that obvious?

After he found out that Xue Li was the disciple of the senior sister in the world, even the master could already see his joyful mood?

After walking outside the peak, Xun Wang unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his face, and then went to Kefeng where Sydney lived.

However, when he was outside the guest house, he knocked on the door, but no one came to the door for a long time.

Xun Wang frowned unknowingly, and walked around the walls of the guest house. From a window that was not closed tightly, he saw Xue Li sitting in the room blankly, looking a little shy, It's also a little weird.

Xun Wang had no choice but to tap lightly on the window sill, calling out, "Fairy Sydney?"

"…Ok?"

Xueli seemed to have just woken up from a big dream at this time, and she slowly came to her senses, and she was startled when she saw Xun Wang standing by the window.

Xun Wang said: "Sorry, I just knocked on the door outside the house, but I didn't hear an answer, so I transferred here."

"fine."

At this moment, Xueli realized that she had been in a daze for so long, and she didn't even know when the sky was bright. Looking at the bright sky outside the window, she felt extremely unreal.

After Xue Li realized it, she hurried to open the door for Xun Wang in a panic: "I kept you waiting, I was distracted before."

Xun Wang was slightly puzzled by Xue Li's appearance, but he didn't take it to heart. He walked back to the main entrance and stepped into the house through the main entrance. Then, his pace paused briefly.

He sensed a faint breath in the room.

This breath is not too obvious, and it is already very weak, but Xun Wang has studied medicine hard for many years, and his sense of smell is more sensitive than ordinary people, so he still caught the traces of outsiders coming.

This breath does not belong to Sydney, nor does it belong to him or other people from Xinglin Peak. The tiger cub raised by Sydney is still sleeping curled up on the cushion. This ray of breath is obviously different from Sydney's immortal energy. He should stay in the house for a while, but the time is not very long. It is not difficult for gods and even cultivators to come and go without anyone noticing. From time to time, people can feel a little bit of faint breath, it doesn't seem to be accidental, but it seems that the other party left it on purpose.

However, why did the other party leave a bit of immortal energy behind?

Natural sensitivity made Xun Wang feel a warning from this strangeness, which made him unavoidably vigilant, but Xun Wang didn't even know who the other party was, so he had no clue what was going on.

Xueli also noticed Zilan's fairy spirit, but she felt that this fairy spirit was very reassuring, as if Zilan was still by her side.

Xue Li asked the little uncle to sit down and asked him: "Uncle, what do you want?"

When Xun Wang heard her call himself "Master Uncle" in a crisp voice, he unconsciously shook his head, and the expression on his face unconsciously became more friendly.

He had been in Xinglin Peak for more than ten years, and he had heard new disciples call him his uncle every day. He thought he was used to it, but when he was called by a disciple who was only a few years younger than him, Xun Wang actually felt a little strange. Embarrassingly uncomfortable.

He coughed lightly.

Xun Wang actually knew that he didn't need to bother him so early in the morning.

He and Xue Li had a face-to-face talk yesterday, and they had roughly finished what they had to say, but Xun Wang couldn't help but want to know more, how they lived these years, and what happened after the senior sister left Xinglin Peak. Knowing that there is nothing to say about Sydney, Xun Wang still likes to look at her. She has the shadow of her senior sister in her body, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Xun Wang paused, and said plainly: "I am your uncle after all. You have been here for so long at Xinglin Peak, but I haven't asked you how you are doing, so today I am here to give you a meeting gift."

With that said, Xun Wang handed over a brocade bag.

Xueli took it suspiciously, opened it, and found that it was a set of silver needles, with flowers embroidered near the needle pads, very suitable for a disciple of the Tsingyi School.

Sydney has been living in a small fairyland with her aunt all the time, and even the medical needles are ground by herself. Although there is nothing particularly difficult to use, the main thing is to look at medical skills, but there are specialties in surgery. After all, this kind of tool is not as good as Xing Linfeng. Made by artisans, Sydney is still very surprised to see such fine medical equipment.

Xue Li said happily: "Thank you, uncle!"

"You're welcome, it's as it should be."

Xun Wang said.

"I am your direct uncle, so there should be something in common in terms of medical skills. I went to see your competition earlier, and to be honest, my medical skills may not be as good as yours, but you and I are closer than other disciples." What, if you want to find someone to discuss medical theory with you, just come to me directly, you know where I live with Master."

He paused for a moment, and said: "Although the guest house in Xinglin Peak is quite comprehensive, it is not as good as the serious host peak. If you have any missing items, you can come to me. In a few days, I still want to invite You come to our peak to drink tea."

"Then thank you uncle in advance."

Sydney is very happy, and she is also willing to communicate with the people her aunt knew in the mortal world, especially the little uncle who seems to have a good relationship with her aunt.

Xun Wang drank the tea offered by Sydney, exchanged some simple greetings with her, and asked her some opinions on medical theory.

Xue Li's ideas are in the same line as Senior Sister Lin Shao's. Hearing this, Xun Wang can only feel the spring breeze in his ears. This feeling has not been felt for many years.

It was only half a cup of tea, and he couldn't help asking: "Xue Li, my senior sister...did you mention me when she was living with you?"

Xun Wang held the small cup in his hand, his knuckles tensed slightly.

Sydney thought about it for a while, the number of times her aunt mentioned Xing Linfeng in front of her was not that many, and Sydney didn't hear much about the little uncle, but she did know.

Xueli nodded truthfully and replied: "I have mentioned it, but the content is not too much. My aunt told me that she used to have a junior brother who was in the same school and the same teacher in the teacher's school. It was only when she left the teacher's school that she was so tall. .”

As she said that, Xue Li made a gesture around her, which seemed to be a little taller than the little tiger standing up.

However, when Xun Wang heard the words, the wrinkles between his brows relaxed, and his back straightened even more, as if he wanted to prove that he was no longer a child all these years.

"Senior sister really still remembers."

He slowly bloomed a smile, just like apricot blossoms quietly blooming in spring, matching the color of the tree outside the window that blooms all year round.

Sydney was also surprised at how gentle the little uncle looked at this time.

Both of them don't need to attend the Xinglin Club today, they can take their time leisurely.

"correct."

The little uncle asked aloud.

"Starting from tomorrow, it will be the Xinglin Guild Final. Have you drawn the order for tomorrow?"

The Xinglin Association has been going on until now, and the disciples and medical practitioners from all over the country have been eliminated. Only the last 20 people are left. out the final outcome.

The remaining medical practitioners are almost all Xun Wang's generation among Xinglinfeng's disciples. Only Fang Yi and a few older disciples of the younger generation are left. Sydney alone, the only casual cultivator.

And now the competition for the list of flowers is becoming more and more fierce. In fact, judging from the list, there are only three people who are the most competitive this year, namely Sydney, the junior uncle, and the master uncle of the red school. Now it’s almost the final stage, when it’s time to predict the champion, there are fewer disciples who put flowers randomly according to their personal preferences. After all, Sydney is too young and has no factions. The number of flowers under the names of master uncles and junior uncles has increased in vain recently. Chasing up at a speed visible to the naked eye, although not catching up with Sydney for a while, it is enough to form a three-legged posture.

Every remaining competition will be held in Xingyuan's open-air test field, and every competition between the three of them will attract much attention.

Sydney shook her head: "Not yet."

When she saw Zilan yesterday, she was in a state of ups and downs, and she didn't have a chance to think about it.

The little uncle said: "I haven't smoked it yet, why don't we smoke it together in a while."

Sydney responded, "Okay."

But she thought for a while, and said: "I don't want to be drawn together with my little uncle."

This is obvious. After the final test, the competition will become more intense. Although they should be able to last at least until the last four, if they are divided into a group, no matter who the rest of the group is, they will increase each other's strength. risk.

Xun Wang heard the words, smiled lightly, and said, "I hope so too."

Xue Li and Xun Wang went to the main peak together, and the disciple in charge of drawing lots saw the two of them coming together, and couldn't help showing a look of admiration, and handed over the lottery box in a panic.

The disciple said: "The first round of the final test is divided into four groups of Meilan Xinglian, with five people in each group, and the two best people in each group can enter the second round. During the competition, lots are also drawn to decide the questions, and each group has five questions. Whether you are good at it or not depends on luck."

It is impossible for Xun Wang not to know these contents, the young disciple obviously said to Xue Li, Xue Li nodded and went to look at the lottery box.

After choosing for a while, she took out a wooden stick and saw a small plum blossom painted on the bottom of the stick.

The little disciple said: "Congratulations, Meizu."

Xue Li turned her head to look at Xun Wang, but saw that he was also holding a stick in his hand, but the bottom of the stick was painted with water lotus.

The little disciple said: "Congratulations, little uncle, Lianzu."

Seeing that the lottery was not shared with Xue Li, Xun Wang tilted his head slightly, nodded and smiled at her.

…

The first final test on the second day arrived not long after.

Because the five questions of the four-flower group are the same, naturally there can be no priority in the time of the competition. Sydney arrived at the test field early in the morning.

The wolf officials in the wolf realm have already withdrawn, but in places where ordinary people can't see, there are still many hidden medical immortals gathering around for fun.

The Wolf Queen arrived at Xinglin Peak around this time.

She made a special trip to come to see Sydney. She wanted to just take a look at her and leave, but she never expected that she would see the list on the main peak and the vast sea of ​​flowers as soon as she arrived at Xinglin Peak.

The Apricot Forest Society is now in its late stage, and there are very few names that can be placed on the main peak. Among them, there are far more flowers under one name than the others, so many that it is a bit dazzling.

The wolf queen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously went to look at the names of the flower queens, but saw two words that she was very familiar with.

—Sydney.
