Chapter 21 There will always be a few scumbags
Xuan Lin really left the city and walked towards a small road. He seemed to deliberately avoid the crowd, but he had no purpose. He just picked out remote places. When he met people, he would subconsciously dodge them. He would look at them like that and there would be problems.
He walked for about half an hour before he stopped in a very remote forest. He looked around and confirmed that there was no one. He put Nuoniu in his hand under a big tree. He seemed to have explained a few words. As soon as he got up, Nioniu grabbed her sleeve, he frowned and pulled it away. He said a few more words angrily, then threw Nioniu down, turned around and stepped back to the road back to the city.
Shi Xia felt an unknown fire in her heart, which burned her to beat her away. When Xuan Lin turned into another road, she walked out and stopped her, "Where do you want to go?"
"Well...benefactor..." Xuan Lin was startled by Shi Xia who suddenly jumped out, his face turned a little pale, and he froze for a moment before he started to smile, "You...why are you here? I...I just..."
"You want to throw away Niu Niu?"
Xuan Lin's face turned pale, his eyes began to dodge around, and his smile became stiffer, "My benefactor misunderstood, how could I leave her? I just... just... yes, I just want to buy her some food."
Shi Xia glanced at the bun he had bought before and tightened his hand, "I met her before, and you deliberately threw it down?"
"..." He didn't answer, but his face gradually turned dark.
"Xuanlin, she is your sister!" How could you be cruel?
Xuan Lin's face turned distorted instantly, and he was guilty and panic-like, and said in anger, "So what about sister? If she hadn't implicated me, I would have already entered the Immortal Sect. In the past six months, I have almost found the Immortal Sect several times, all because of her that she missed the time, and she was just a burden."
"It's because of this, you want to throw away your own sister?" Shi Xiahuo was over.
"Yes!" Xuan Lin said angrily, "I just want to get rid of her. I have had enough of this past six months. I always have to hold her and carry her back, and I am always sick. All my money is spent on her. If I take her, we will both starve to death."
Shi Xiadu was a little unrecognizable to the person in front of him. Is this still the good brother of the nervous sister back then? Why did he become so cold-blooded in just half a year?
"Is it really that important to cultivate immortality? It's so important that even your sister who is connected to blood can abandon it?"
"Just." He snorted coldly, "Who in this world doesn't want to live forever?"
"But do you know how dangerous it is in the forest and how many monsters are there? If you put her here, she will die."
"It's better to die!" He waved his hand, "It's better to die clean than to implicate me while living."
"Damn!" She finally couldn't help but punch her, "Are you still a human? Don't you know how much she cares about your brother? Just because you want to cultivate immortality, she endured so much hardships to follow you, and almost got eaten by monsters. Are you blind and can't see it? If you want to be implicated, it's you who implicated her, it's not her who implicated you."
"So what if that is the case?" Xuan Lin was punched hard, took a few steps back, snorted coldly, and his face became colder, "You said you could relax and you couldn't even eat. Who else would care about the brother-sister relationship? I couldn't help it. Whoever encounters such a thing will make the same choice as me."
"You fart!" Shi Xia raised his foot and kicked him, "You are simply insulting brothers and sisters. Don't think that all the brothers in the world are like you. There are many people who will not abandon their close relatives even if they starve to death. You are just a Confucian scholar who is incompetent but takes his anger on his sister. You can't help but be an excuse. You are not worthy of being her brother at all."
Xuan Lin was kicked hard by her. She covered her legs and took a few steps back, but still stared at her fiercely, "If you don't deserve it, you don't deserve it. If you care so much about her, you might as well pick it up."
"You..." Before Shi Xia finished speaking, she saw a small figure standing at the intersection, "Niu Niu..."
Why did she come here? She chose to stop Xuanlin here just to prevent her from hearing it. Now...
"Niu Niu..." She hurried over, feeling a little nervous. She didn't know how much she heard just now, so she had to explain anxiously, "Listen to me, this is not the case...we!"
"It's better to hear it!" Xuan Lin looked indifferent and tidied up his clothes and said coldly, "Anyway, I won't take her with me anymore. Even if you beat me to death, I will do the same. Whoever wants to take her away."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Shi Xia called him, but he didn't even look back and walked faster.
Niu Niu stood there, not crying or catching up with her. Her face, which was still muddy, was pale, and her little body couldn't help but tremble, and her fists were clenched tightly.
In this way, Shi Xia was even more worried. She squatted down and hugged her little body. "Niu Niu..." she wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say. She said that everything was a misunderstanding before, and she was having fun with Xuan Lin? But Xuan Lin was gone.
Niu Niu's body became stiff and she fell into her arms, but she just buried her head and didn't say anything.
It took a long time before her slight voice came from her arms.
"Last time my brother said, I asked me to wait for him under the tree, but Niu Niu waited for a long time... my brother didn't come."
“…”
"Just just now, let me wait for him..."
“…”
"Sister Xia, isn't Niu Niu good?"
"...You are very well-behaved."
"Then... Did Niu Niu do something wrong?"
"No."
"Then why didn't my brother come to pick up Niu Niu?"
“…”
"Brother... don't like Niu Niu anymore, right?"
"well……"
"Actually...Niu Niu knew it last time."
“…”
She didn't ask any more, but soon there was a cry in her arms. At first, she just sobbed softly, and slowly the sound became louder and louder, and finally she burst into tears.
Shi Xia hugged her tighter and gently patted her back to help her get angry. Just cry...
————————————
Niu Niu cried for a long time, and she fell asleep sobbingly until the sun set. Shi Xia carried her back to Longcheng and finally found a kind-hearted person and took them in for a night.
The next morning, Niu Niu got up earlier than her. She seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. She didn't say that she was crying, and didn't mention her bastard brother again, but she was even more silent. No matter how Shi Xia made her happy, she had a small face from beginning to end. She was so sensible that it made people feel distressed, and it was impossible to tell that she was just a six or seven-year-old child.
Sure enough, if you are abandoned by your closest relatives, there will still be shadows.
Shi Xia took her to stroll around the city and relax with her, but found that there were more people in the city today than yesterday, and they were so lively that they couldn't walk.
She couldn't help but ask the vendor next to her curiously.
"These people are all coming to our Longcheng to find immortals." The vendor explained with a proud look on his face.
It turns out that the Lord of Longcheng City is a martial arts cultivator. Although his cultivation is not high, he is quite famous. He has more or less connections with some immortal cultivation sects. Longcheng can be regarded as half an immortal cultivation city, and cultivators often appear here. There are also many sects who will conduct a spiritual root test in Longcheng in advance before selecting disciples. Those with spiritual roots will then take them to various sects for assessment. This is equivalent to an audition. Of course, there are also monks who are practicing outside. When they see disciples with good qualifications, they will directly recommend them to the sect.
Shi Xia suddenly remembered the fact that he went to Yuhua Sect before. It seemed that the reason why he finally found that he had no spiritual roots was because he skipped the audition stage.
And the reason why there are so many people today is that at noon today, the Immortal Gate Yuyin Sect will audition and recruit disciples in the city.
As a public enemy of the whole nation, Shi Xia had the urge to flash his head when she heard the Immortal Sect. When she was hesitating whether to find a chance to get out, Niu Niu suddenly took the initiative to hold on to her sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Shi Xia squatted down.
Niu Niu still lowered her head, holding the little hand beside her tightly, and she looked up at her for a while, "Sister Xia, I...I want to cultivate immortality!"
Although she spoke in a low voice, her voice was unexpectedly firm.
Shi Xia frowned, "Why?"
Her head was buried lower, and she said for a while, "He... has always wanted to be an immortal, and I... want to go and see it."
Shi Xia's heart sank, and naturally knew who "he" she was. Xuan Lin abandoned her because she wanted to become an immortal, so she wanted to see what the cultivation of immortals that could make people abandon their closest relatives was like?
She hesitated for a moment and touched her head, "Niu Niu, you have to think about it. Cultivating immortals is a long-term thing. If you choose, you will have to enter the immortal sect in the future, and my sister will be separated from you."
She was silent for a while and still nodded heavily.
"Okay, sister, go with you!" Xuan Lin's incident was a great harm to her young heart. She was too young, but not small enough. I'm afraid she already knew in her heart that her brother would not come back, and it was already very hard to endure it and not to collapse. Perhaps only in this way would she feel a little better.
She didn't stop her anymore. After asking about the location, she led Niu Niu and went straight to the apprentice point. Although she was worried about the people from the Immortal Sect, there were too few people who had seen her. As long as she didn't say it, who would know that she was Shi Xia?
But Shi Xia found that people are really unlucky... They will get stuck in their teeth when drinking water, eat apples and get worms when they are constipated...
Anyway, when Xuan Lin exposed her identity with a frightened look in front of the monks of the Yuyin Sect, she felt that she was so angry.
"That's right, it's her. When I heard her name before, Niu Niu called her sister Xia again. She must be the witch Shi Xia!" Xuan Lin said louder and louder, his face full of pleasure after the plan succeeded.
