Chapter 329
Zhong Xian naturally heard the hidden meaning in Gu An's words.
He snorted and laughed, but there was a dark color between the corners of his upturned eyes, like ink that could not be dissolved.
"I don't care about you guys that much, so stop being so sentimental."
He said lazily:
"But if you are willing to die for Xiao Xi'er, I will naturally be happy. You must keep your word."
His words were not pleasant to the ears and contained hidden thorns, but Gu An did not care. He just said respectfully:
"Big Brother, do you see yourself in me?"
The corners of Zhong Xian's mouth flattened a little, and his dark pupils, filled with ghostly aura, stared at Gu An.
Dangerous and chilling.
Gu An seemed not to notice his expression, and raised his eyes with a smile:
"Before I came to the Demon Realm, I asked people about the personalities of my master and my senior brothers. After coming to the Demon Realm, I learned a lot about my senior brothers from the demons... Before Senior Sister appeared, you must have been like me, really not caring about Second Senior Brother and the others."
If Luo Chunxi had not been in charge in the past, Zhong Xian would really have taken action against Ji Zhi and Su Xianyun, and perhaps the same would have been done to Ji Zhi and Su Xianyun.
"It's not a good thing to be too smart, understand?"
Zhong Xian withdrew his gaze from Gu An.
He didn't admit that he cared about them just now, so Gu An changed his words to make him admit it.
He didn't care in the past, which means he cares now.
Gu An wants to control him.
Sure enough, after Gu An was sure that Zhong Xian would not attack him, he asked more boldly:
"Senior Brother asked me before if I didn't want to save Second Senior Brother. If I said yes, would Senior Brother kill me? In Senior Brother's eyes, are Second Senior Brother and his men more important, or is Senior Sister more important?"
Zhong Xian rolled his eyes. Compared to Ji Zhi, that idiot, and Su Xianyun, who was becoming more and more difficult to manage, Gu An was obviously more of a headache for him.
Sometimes even he couldn't understand what Gu An was thinking.
He did not answer Gu An's question, but asked in return:
"Gu An, what do you want?"
Gu An was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "I want to stay with my senior sister."
"I'm asking, what would you want for yourself?"
Gu An was puzzled and replied subconsciously: "I stay with my senior sister for my own sake."
"What if Xiao Xi'er is gone one day?"
"Then there is no need for Gu An in this world."
Gu An answered calmly.
At this moment, Yu Xi, who was walking in front, noticed that Gu An and Zhong Xian were walking very slowly, and quickly waved in front of them and said:
"Brother! Hurry up, I've already seen the underground river. Shu Nanzhi said it's a bit deep, and she's leading the way for us!"
Seeing Yu Xi jumping up and down in front, Zhong Xian screamed in her heart, "How adorable!" and quickly responded, "I'll be right there!"
He walked forward quickly, but when he remembered Gu An's answer, he paused and said only one last sentence:
"For Xiao Xi'er, I will try my best to live on. Ji Zhi also wants to live a decent life. Even Su Xianyun has become more talkative."
They tried hard to become better and wanted to live happily with Xiao Xier forever.
This is for Xiao Xier as well as for themselves.
It was Xiao Xier who made their existence infinitely valuable.
"What's your value?"
Zhong Xian asked the question, but didn't wait for Gu An to answer.
He quickly came to Yu Xi's side, and with just one glance, he could confirm that the underground river in front of him seemed calm, but it was extremely deep, and there were turbulent undercurrents under the river.
Seeing Yu Xi trying to go down into the river, he quickly squatted beside her, carefully hugged her and said, "The water below is too cold. What if you get frozen? Come to my arms, I'll hold you and swim."
"But brother, you are also cold."
Yu Xi replied honestly.
"puff."
Someone laughed.
Zhong Xian squinted his eyes and looked up, only to see Su Xianyun turning his head away with a guilty look on his face.
Zhong Xian glared at Su Xianyun warningly and was about to coax Yu Xi a few more words when Yu Xi grabbed his face and pulled him aside:
"Brother, what did you say to Brother An just now? You didn't bully Brother An again because he's so honest, did you?"
Why did she look at Gu An with a bad expression?
Zhong Xian said innocently, "Xiao Xi'er, you can't wrongly accuse me. Why did Gu An become so obedient? That boy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. How could I bully him?"
Yu Xi was half-believing and half-doubting, because Zhong Xian had a history of bullying Ji Zhi and Su Xianyun!
Just at this moment, Gu An also came over, and she hurriedly asked: "Brother An, did my brother bully you just now?"
Gu An was thinking about something when he heard Yu Xi talking to him. He immediately came back to his senses and looked at Zhong Xian who was being pinched by Yu Xi.
"No, Big Brother treats me very well."
Hearing this, Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to let go of the bell string, he heard Gu An continue in a gentle voice:
"Big Brother just showed a lot of murderous intent towards me and said some cruel words about killing me, that's all."
Yu Xi raised his eyebrows and slowly looked at Zhong Xian, "Brother, brother!"
What the hell!
The corner of Zhong Xian's eye twitched, and he wished he could hang up and beat Gu An, the sesame bun.
When did he say he was going to kill Gu An? This guy is half-truthful!
Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to pick up Gu An and beat him up. Instead, Yu Xi grabbed his ears and gave him a severe scolding.
In the end, he had to persuade Yu Xi with all his might and repeatedly assured her that he would not bully Gu An, and finally coaxed her into submission.
Zhong Xian, who went down to the river silently, felt very aggrieved.
How could he, the great young master of the demon clan, fall to this point?
Even the little Gu An could frame him!
Seeing that he was listless, Yu Xi couldn't help but sit on the shore and gave him a big kiss on the face.
In fact, she knew that Zhong Xian would not really hurt Gu An and the others, otherwise she would not just pinch Zhong Xian's face.
"Brother, be careful."
She warned seriously.
Zhong Xian's face instantly lit up with smiles.
As long as Xiao Xier can kiss him more, it doesn’t matter how many times he is framed!
The underground river is deeper and more turbulent than imagined.
In order to avoid being discovered by the barrier near Yaoling Valley, the few of them tried their best not to use any magic and swam across.
To the tree demon clan, no matter how turbulent the water is, it is almost the same as flat land. The southern branches of the tree are not afraid of water and can absorb water to replenish their physical strength.
Yu Xi, Zhong Xian and Gu An are all good at swimming, but Ji Zhi and Su Xianyun cannot swim.
Su Xianyun was a little afraid of water, while Jizhi simply jumped into the water and struggled around, but he couldn't swim and could only sink straight down.
So Zhong Xian took a rope and planned to tie them up and drag them around.
But the underground water flows in a winding way. Even if it is easy to hold your breath, you will still bump into things along the way if you drag it there. By the time you reach the destination, you will no longer be in human form.
Of course Yu Xi disagreed.
She thought about it and decided that Zhong Xian would take one person to swim, and she and Gu An would take one person to swim. This way it would be much safer.
When Ji Zhi heard his sister had an idea, he immediately raised his hand and said, "I support my sister. It's much better than Zhong Xian's idea!"
Su Xianyun also nodded and said, "I agree."
When he heard that there was a chance for Yu Xi to take him swimming, he was no longer afraid of the water.
This was the decision proposed by Xiao Xier. No matter how unhappy Zhong Xian was, he still let them draw lots with a sullen face.
The final result was that Zhong Xian took Ji Zhi to swim together, and Yu Xi and Gu An took Su Xianyun to swim together.
Su Xianyun was happy, Jizhi's face fell, and he turned around to see Zhong Xian grinning at him:
"Didn't you say that Xiao Xi'er's ideas are better than mine? Why don't you consider that there's a 50% chance that you'll end up in my hands?"
Jizhi burst into tears.
