Chapter 2259 Scholar and Fox

The meal must be eaten in one bite.

His change could not happen overnight.

However, the man will no longer feel sorry for himself.

He would keep trying until the day came when his special was truly gone.

Try to make your life better.

"I've wasted so much of your time."

"Sorry about that."

"Thank you."

"Sorry, I'm not good at talking..."

The man bowed his head slightly, "I don't know how to express my gratitude."

"Your great kindness..."

Xiao Xiao laughed.

"No, you're exaggerating."

"I'm glad I could help you in some way."

……

The man shook his head.

He is not exaggerating at all.

He really feels that today is a turning point in his life.

really.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Since monsters really exist.

So, the signature documents are not completely false.

He decided to go to the temple to worship again tomorrow.

……

Xiao Xiao and the man parted at the entrance of the cafe.

"Goodbye, Xiao."

The man bowed to Xiao Xiao and said, "Thank you, classmate Xiao."

Even after saying it many times, he still wanted to say it.

……

After a long while, the man straightened up.

"Student Xiao, I'm leaving now."

This time, the man simply turned around and left.

……

Looking at the man's back which was no longer hunched, the corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curved upward.

If we meet again next time...

He hopes to see a "new" man.

……

Xiao Xiao turned around.

As he took a step, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

The call was quickly answered.

"Little friend Xiao Xiao, you haven't called the old man for a long time."

"Is there something you need help with again this time?"

The old man's voice came with full energy and a hint of laughter.

"Mr. Jiang."

Xiao Xiao was not embarrassed about the old man's speculation.

Besides, the old man guessed it right.

He really made the call because he had something to ask the old man.

……

"Mr. Jiang, there is a child that I need your attention..."

Xiao Xiao told the old man about the situation of Wei Xinhai's niece and also mentioned a few words about Wei Xinhai's situation.

……

"I see."

Mr. Jiang responded calmly.

"My dear Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry about your friend."

Even if young friend Xiao Xiao only mentioned a few words, the old man could still guess the other party's general situation from it.

He had met similar children before.

More than one.

He could never forget the confused, frightened looks of those children.

……

"Do not."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "You don't need to apologize."

"this is not your fault."

No one is a savior.

No one can save everyone.

It's just that we are helping within our ability and have a clear conscience.

……

Mr. Jiang lowered his eyes and smiled.

He knows.

He can't save everyone.

The Demon Master Alliance is not powerful enough to find all those who need help.

All they can do is try their best.

……

"Why?!"

"Why didn't you notice me then?!"

"Why……"

……

The man's hysterical questioning echoed in the old man's mind.

The old man couldn't help but tighten his grip on the phone.

……

"Mr. Jiang?"

Xiao Xiao, who vaguely noticed the old man's mood change, asked, "What's wrong?"

"what?"

The old man suddenly came to his senses.

Then he was amazed at Xiao Xiao's sharpness.

But, it's all old news...

He smiled and shook his head, "Nothing."

"Sorry, I just remembered something and got distracted."

…The old man’s complexion quickly returned to normal.

"Little friend Xiao Xiao, don't worry."

"We will keep an eye on that little girl."

……

"Ok."

Since the old man didn't say anything, Xiao Xiao didn't ask any more questions, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Jiang."

"Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

Jiang Lao smiled and said, "This was originally one of the purposes of establishing the Demon Master Alliance."

"It's our duty."

"I should thank you for telling me the news."

……

After finishing the business and exchanging a few simple greetings, Xiao Xiao put away his phone.

"hiss~"

The white snake stretched its body.

"Humans..."

……

"what happened?"

Xiao Xiao touched the white snake's head.

……

"nothing."

The white snake rubbed Xiao Xiao's fingers slightly.

When it saw how much pain the human was suffering because of the monster, it suddenly realized that this was the relationship between most humans and monsters.

It has stayed with Lord Xiao Xiao for a long time.

I feel that the relationship between humans and monsters is the same as the relationship between it and Lord Xiao Xiao.

Also.

The white snake narrowed its eyes.

who is it?
Who is Lord Xiao Xiao?

How could any random monster or human have such a relationship as this one with Lord Xiao Xiao?

……

Looking at the white snake that suddenly exuded a joyful aura, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, not quite understanding.

Why are you suddenly happy?
……

"Ajiu?"

Xiao Xiao soon discovered that something was wrong with the little white fox.

It's so quiet.

In the past, whenever the white snake said something, the little white fox would definitely say something back.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

This is how the little white fox and the white snake get along.

But the white snake spoke just now, but the little white fox has remained silent until now.

Isn't it strange?

"what happened?"

……

The white snake glanced at the little white fox.

"Are you stupid?"

"You are stupid."

The little white fox retorted subconsciously.

Then it raised its eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Nothing."

"Just remembered one thing."

……

"what's up?"

Xiao Xiao was a little curious.

Being able to make the little white fox forget about the conflict with the white snake must be something that has special meaning to the little white fox, right?

……

"Boring things."

The little white fox said casually.

……

"Sigh~"

The white snake twisted its tail.

The head turned.

Tsk~, you can say it if you want.

……

"is it?"

Xiao Xiao touched the little white fox's head.

Since he can still remember it now, the incident must not be as boring as the little white fox said.

But since the little white fox didn't want to say, he didn't ask.

……

"If you want to know, I can tell you."

The little white fox flicked its tail.

“It’s a very ordinary story.”

"I don't know how I remembered it."

Could it be because of the story I heard about that human being before?
There is obviously no connection between the two.

……

That happened a long time ago...

A man who looked like a scholar saw it.

The man lost his footing and fell off the cliff.

But he was saved because of a big tree growing obliquely under the cliff.

The man was lying on a big tree.

I saw a fox lying on a big tree on the cliff.

The snow-white fur sparkles in the sun.

It was so beautiful that the scholar almost forgot to breathe.

He had never seen such a beautiful fox.

It's just like the fox demon in the picture book that can transform into a human.

Maybe his gaze was too scorching.

Maybe it was just because he stared too long.

The fox opened his eyes.
