Chapter 130 Lotus Tower 4

The atmosphere here was warm, but at this moment, heavy footsteps were heard outside the temple.

Xiao Xiangyi and Lin Jiu closed their mouths at the same time and looked towards the door.

The next second, a figure slowly walked into the temple. It was a thin, gloomy, ragged eight-year-old boy. His appearance made the entire temple's atmosphere oppressive. This man was Shan Gudao, the man to whom Li Xiangxian had entrusted his son.

Xiao Xiangyi looked at Shan Gudao who walked in, and a trace of unease welled up in his heart. Despite this, he still forced a smile, took out some fruits from his pocket, handed them to Shan Gudao and said, "Brother Shan, I found these fruits today and specially left them for you."

Shan Gudao didn't say anything, but silently took the fruit. When he saw Xiao Xiangyi's increasingly mellow face and Lin Jiu in his arms, a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He stared at Xiao Xiangyi gloomily, reached out his hand and fiercely snatched the fruit from Xiao Xiangyi's hand, uttered a low "hmm", then turned around, found a corner, and lay down with his back against the wall.

Xiao Xiangyi felt a touch of embarrassment and loss. He pursed his lips, then hugged Lin Jiu tightly in his arms and sat down. The entire temple fell into a dead silence, broken only by the sound of the wind outside and the occasional bird song.

As for why the relationship between the two is so strained, Lin Jiu is partly to blame, but ultimately it’s all because of human nature.

Back then in the ruined temple, not only did Xiao Xiangyi have a fever, but Shan Gudao also fainted. However, for Xiao Xiangyi, a child he liked, Lin Jiu was happy to give him the spiritual liquid to drink. After all, his physical condition did require treatment.

As for Shan Gudao, a person he had a bad impression of, Lin Jiu naturally did not want to waste spiritual fluid on him. In the end, for Xiao Xiangyi's sake, he reluctantly took out the antipyretic medicine from the space and fed it to Shan Gudao.

However, Shan Gudao's behavior after waking up was disappointing. When he saw Lin Jiu, the little white fox in Xiao Xiangyi's arms, he became greedy and wanted to sell her for money.

This kind of selfish and greedy thinking complements his gray and black "qi".

Xiao Xiangyi regarded Lin Jiu as his savior, so how could he possibly agree to sell her? Thus, the two immediately had a fierce argument, neither of them giving in.

The quarrel escalated and eventually led to a distant, cold and stagnant relationship between them.

Now, when the two meet, they are indifferent and hostile, and the distance between them is getting farther and farther, as if they can never return to the close relationship they had in the past.

Lin Jiu didn't like Shan Gudao from the bottom of her heart, especially when she knew that Shan Gudao wanted to sell her, her dissatisfaction with Shan Gudao reached its peak.

However, at this moment, her eyes accidentally caught sight of the jade pendant hanging around Shan Gudao's neck. The texture and color of the jade pendant were both very good, which seemed a bit out of tune with Shan Gudao's temperament.

Lin Jiu couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's with the jade pendant hanging around Shan Gudao's neck? Could it be his?"

Little Xiangyi was unaware of this, so he continued to knead the pads of Lin Jiu's flesh in his arms. Even though he was slapped by Lin Jiu's claws, he still did not restrain himself.

Lin Jiu felt helpless. After all, being rubbed was really comfortable, so he just let him do it.

Li Xiangxian was slightly taken aback by Lin Jiu's question, a complex expression flashing across his eyes. He lowered his eyes and said in an erratic voice, "I personally gave this jade pendant to Shan Gudao before I died. I asked him to take good care of Xiangyi."

When Lin Jiu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiangxian in surprise, and Xiao Xiangyi also stopped what he was doing and looked at them with a puzzled look.

Lin Jiu was secretly puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Since you are now capable of protecting Xiang Yi, and I am here with you, the jade pendant is yours after all, don't you want it back?"

Li Xiangxian smiled and shook his head, a look of relief on his face. He said softly, "No need. Since I gave it to him, it's his. Besides, he did take care of Xiangyi for half a year. Now that I'm in this state, I'm lucky to be able to stay with Xiangyi."

However, he had no idea how much trouble his indulgent thoughts had caused his younger brother.

Lin Jiu didn't comment on his answer, but just rolled his eyes, muttering to himself: "What a prodigal son! If you don't want it, you can give it to your brother. What's the point of giving it to a stranger? I don't need him to take care of me anymore. If I want to repay Shan Gudao for taking care of me for the past six months, there are plenty of ways, tsk tsk tsk..."

However, after all, the jade pendant belonged to Li Xiangxian, and he had no objection. Naturally, Lin Jiu couldn't say anything more, so he didn't mention it again.

Li Xiangxian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He tilted his head to glance at Shan Gudao's back, the complex emotions in his eyes difficult to describe. Although he was deeply grateful to Shan Gudao, he also felt a hint of guilt.

Li Xiangxian clearly remembered that in the six months after he left, Shan Gudao and his younger brother depended on each other for survival.

Despite the hardships of life, Shan Gudao always sticks to his brotherly love, and even when he is hungry, he will make sure Xiangyi has enough to eat. This friendship touched Li Xiangxian.

However, Shan Gudao lost part of his memory due to a high fever and mistakenly regarded the jade pendant as his own.

This means that it may not be easy for them to get the jade pendant back.

More importantly, Li Xiangxian believes that the jade pendant may be related to the sudden bandit attack and the tragic death of his parents. This speculation is based on his deep intuition.

Therefore, in order to protect his brother, Li Xiangxian decided not to take back the jade pendant to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Li Xiangxian was filled with anger and hatred for the bandits who brutally killed his parents. He secretly made up his mind to avenge his family with his own hands.

Xiangyi is still young and may not remember these painful past events. So let him forget about the past and avoid being trapped in painful memories.

Now, Li Xiangxian has obtained the ghost cultivation method from Lin Jiu and started practicing. He hopes that by improving his own strength, he can better protect his younger brother and avenge his parents.
