Chapter 172 The water is clear
"That's fine, that's fine."

Xiao's mother muttered a few words.

"Xiaoxiao, invite them to your house for dinner someday."

"Yan Yan is fine too."

After thinking about it, Xiao's mother added another sentence.

She was not sure whether her former sister-in-law would be willing to have any contact with her late husband's family, or whether this would cause trouble to them, after all, they already had a new family.

But Yanyan is different. Yanyan is her brother’s only blood relative and his own niece.

Their closeness is natural.

"Ok."

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement.

……

The next day, Xiao Xiao went to the natural water plant with his cousin.

"Xiaoxiao, I went home yesterday and told my mother about my encounter with you."

"Mom was very surprised and happy."

"She asked me to get closer to you and welcome you to visit our home."

Yu Yanyan conveyed her mother's words seriously with a faint smile on her lips.

"Okay, uncle...how is aunt?"

The other party has remarried, so it would be inappropriate to call her aunt.

It was as if the other party just wanted his daughter to be closer to him, after all, his cousin was the blood of the Xiao family.

And the former aunt no longer has anything to do with the Xiao family.

Sometimes a change in a title means changes in many things.

"Well, my mom is fine."

"Dad is very good to us. Oh, and I have a younger brother who is still in elementary school."

"Really? That's good."

Xiao Xiao laughed.

……

"My mother also wants to invite you and my aunt to dinner at home."

"If your mother is not convenient, you can come, cousin."

Xiao Xiao also extended his mother's invitation.

"Really? I will definitely come."

Yu Yanyan thought of her aunt who had been very kind to her, and immediately accepted Xiao Xiao's invitation.

"By the way, don't call me cousin. It will confuse me with others."

"Just call me Sister Yanyan."

"Sister Yanyan."

Xiao Xiao is quick to accept advice.

"Mom's words. I'll ask her when the time comes."

Yu Yanyan was not sure about her mother's attitude. From what she saw yesterday, her mother did not object to her contact and closeness with Xiao Xiao, and even had a somewhat encouraging attitude.

But maybe mom herself won’t have any connection to the past anymore, right?
"Ah."

……

After all, this was not Yu Yanyan’s first time here.

So there is no need for dad to come to the door to pick me up.

The security guard at the gate already knew her.

Under the guidance of Yu Yanyan, Xiao Xiao registered at the gate and successfully entered the natural water plant.

……

"dad."

"Yan Yan is here."

"Yan Yan is here to bring food to Dad again."

"Old Gu, your daughter is so nice."

……

Before Mr. Gu could say anything, his colleagues around him had already started making jokes.

"Of course my daughter is fine."

When Mr. Gu saw his precious daughter, his frown slowly relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yan Yan is here.

"Your mother is the same. Why does she always ask you to come here on such a hot day? It's not like I don't have food to eat..."

……

Everyone around them was considerate and gave the father and daughter space to spend time together.

Xiao Xiao also felt really relieved. Sister Yanyan's father was really good to her.

Sister Yanyan also said that her mother was originally hesitant about whether to change her surname, but considering that she was Father Yu’s only child and the blood of the Yu family, she was very hesitant. But if she didn’t change it, her mother was worried that Father Gu’s family would have opinions.

Later, it was Gu's father who made the final decision and said that there was no need to change the name and it should be Yu Yanyan.

……

"Who is this?" Could this be Yanyan's boyfriend? But he seems younger than Yanyan.

But it seems that sister-brother relationships are very popular nowadays...

Dad Gu was a little confused.

"Dad, this is Xiao Xiao."

"Aunt Yu's child."

"Aunt Yu?" After a moment of confusion, Mr. Gu immediately remembered that his daughter's surname was Yu.

So, is he a relative from Yanyan’s biological father’s side?
It turned out that this was not a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. Father Gu breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to Xiao Xiao, "Hello, Xiao Xiao, just call me Uncle Gu."

"Hello, Uncle Gu."

……

"Dad, Xiao Xiao wants to see the problematic pipe."

"can."

Uncle Gu agreed readily, saying that it was just a pipe and not a secret.

It's just that this situation really makes it hard to know where to start.

"Here, that one over there."

Uncle Gu pointed to a pipe diagonally in front of him.

"Uncle Gu, I can go over and take a look myself. I'm just a little curious."

"You should eat first."

"Okay, go and take a look yourself."

“This is really strange.”

Uncle Gu shook his head and sighed, looking completely puzzled.

"Ah~"

"Uncle Gu, don't worry, it will be solved."

"Maybe just like it suddenly went wrong, it will suddenly get better."

"Haha, let me lend you some good words."

Uncle Gu laughed out loud.

……

Before Xiao Xiao walked into the pipe, he could already smell a faint evil aura.

When he walked to the entrance of the pipe, he saw a monster that looked like a corpse blocking the entrance of the pipe.

Xiao Xiao: ...

What's happening here?
Because the monster was floating face down in the water, Xiao Xiao couldn't see its appearance clearly.

But judging from its body shape, it is a small monster.

Her green hair was scattered behind her.

The opponent's demonic aura was not strong, and even had a faint feeling of being "weak as a thread".

Obviously, this monster is very weak.

Xiao Xiao carefully felt the demonic aura of this monster. The Demon Detector could reveal the other party's identity without seeing the other party's face, but it required a strong enough demonic aura.

However, the monster was already weak and was soaked in water.

The demonic energy became weaker.

After trying for a while, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to give up.

"Gu carving."

"Jie Jie~"

The huge shadow of the Gu Diao covered the sky and cast a huge shadow.

The sharp whistle cut through the sky which was filled with red clouds and the dim sunlight. Even the sky lost some of its ambiguous and lazy meaning and highlighted some of its edges.

Xiao Xiao keenly noticed that the "corpse" in the water moved slightly.

"Gu Diao, catch this monster."

"Jie~"

The Gu Eagle folded its wings and swooped down, then soared into the sky.

It was like a dark shadow had appeared on the sharp claws made of reinforced concrete.

The green seaweed-like hair fluttered in the wind.

Xiao Xiao seemed to see a body struggling under the messy hair, and could hear strange and bizarre cries in his ears.

However, Xiao Xiao didn't have time to deal with this monster for the time being.

As soon as the Gu Diao captured the monster, the pipeline was immediately restored to normal operation, and the water rushed in and flowed into the sedimentation tank through the pipeline.

The sudden roar of water startled the technicians and other staff who were resting not far away.

All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps could be heard and people came one after another.

"what happened?"

"The water is connected?!"

"How come the water suddenly became accessible?"
