Chapter 423 Curiosity and Unspeakable
Chi Xiuchuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smile silently.

The child now looks like what a child of this age should be like.

It was no longer the previous expression that frightened him and only appeared in the eyes of an old man on his deathbed.

……

He never doubted Master Xiao.

But he was still shocked by Master Xiao again and again.

He didn't understand what had happened in such a short period of time to cause such a big change in a child?
But he knew that he shouldn't ask questions.

After feeling a little regretful, Chi Xiuchuan became genuinely happy for the child.

No matter what this child has encountered before, being able to meet Master Xiao is his greatest luck.

……

"Xiaoyuan."

Seeing the child looking at Guo Shan from time to time, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, Xiao Xiao curled his lips slightly in understanding, "Guo Shan is fine now."

Then, Xiao Xiao stepped aside to let Guo Shan stand aside, and said to the child with a stiff face and uneasy eyes, "Xiao Yuan told me about your situation, so I came here."

"He's worried about you."

Xiao Yuan felt a little embarrassed about what Master Xiao said and subconsciously wanted to refute it, but because the other party was Master Xiao, he finally swallowed his words reluctantly.

However, the child kept refutation in his heart: No, he just felt that Guo Shan's situation was somewhat similar to his previous one, so he felt a little sympathy, so he wanted to help him.

……

Guo Shan suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Wen Shaoyuan in a daze.

really?
Xiao Yuan seemed to feel a little uncomfortable being stared at by Guo Shan. He raised his chin slightly and said in a bad tone, "What are you looking at? As the squad leader, this is what I should do."

Even so, Guo Shan felt a sense of joy spreading in his heart.

He was very happy.

He couldn't help but look at Master Xiao on the side.

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly at him.

Guo Shan pursed his lips and smiled.

He looked at Wen Shaoyuan again and said seriously, "Thank you, squad leader."

His eyes curved into a crescent shape for the first time in a long time, with a clear smile in them.

……

"……You're welcome."

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then accepted Guo Shan's thanks as a matter of course.

This somewhat arrogant expression made Wen Shaoyang couldn't help but twitch his mouth again.

This kid doesn't know what politeness and modesty are.

……

If Xiao Yuan knew what his brother was thinking, he would definitely refute with confidence: Why should he be modest? He was the one who invited Master Xiao.

Guo Shan's change was so obvious that even the most cautious children could see it.

And all this is thanks to Master Xiao, so isn't it normal for Guo Shan to thank himself for inviting Master Xiao?

……

However, after seeing Guo Shan so many times being gloomy, cowardly, and fearful, this was the first time he had seen Guo Shan like this.

Well, maybe...it’s not the first time?
Xiaoyuan's brows were slightly twisted.

Guo Shan earlier...seems to be like this?

Xiao Yuan thought about it for a while, then shook his head in giving up. He couldn't remember it clearly.

After all, he and Guo Shan had hardly ever played together, so how could he remember clearly what he looked like before.

However, Xiao Yuan took a quick look at Guo Shan in front of him, and found that Guo Shan looked more pleasing to the eye at this moment.

……

"Master Xiao."

Now that Guo Shan was fine, Xiao Yuan came to Xiao Xiao again, with a look of curiosity and excitement on his face, "Master Xiao, how did you do it?"

Guo Shan’s situation is a bit similar to his previous one.

However, it was different. Although Xiao Yuan didn't know why, he felt that way. At least the monster Guo Shan saw was malicious, which was completely different from the monster friend he imagined.

Moreover, although Xiaoyuan was not sure when Guo Shan had the hallucinations, he knew that this period of time was definitely not short.

Even people who don't understand illusions know that the longer they last, the harder they are to break.

He had only been suffering from hallucinations for less than a month, but he no longer believed what his parents and brother said.

So what about Guo Shan?
Hallucinations have probably become a deeply ingrained perception of Guo Shan.

Just thinking about it makes the hairs on my body stand up.

Xiaoyuan couldn't help but shake his body.

You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

So, how do you wake up someone who takes hallucinations as reality?
……

"very curious?"

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, the curve of his mouth remained unchanged. He knew that this child had always thought that Guo Shan was just like him, and what he saw was actually an illusion he had made up, but he didn't know that what Guo Shan encountered was a real monster.

Of course, Xiao Xiao would not correct Xiao Yuan's perception.

It would be great if Guo Shan could also think that the parasitic vine monster was just an illusion of his.

The illusion is broken and the nightmare is over.

Don't indulge in it anymore and make yourself exhausted and miserable.

……

"Uh-huh!"

Xiaoyuan nodded his head vigorously.

Wen Shaoyang and Chi Xiuchuan couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen attentively.

Children speak without restraint. There are some things that they are not comfortable asking directly, but young children don’t have so many concerns.

Guo Shan recalled the scene where Master Xiao crushed the parasitic vine monster with one hand.

"Broken arms and limbs" fell all over the ground, juice splashed everywhere. He could even faintly see a layer of golden light covering Master Xiao's face, cold and indifferent, his golden eyes were like the eyes of a god above the nine heavens, without sadness or joy, but absolutely domineering and awe-inspiring, so handsome!
Wait, seeing those golden eyes, Guo Shan was startled and suddenly looked up at Xiao Xiao's eyes.

It is dark and deep, but it is undoubtedly black.

There is no gold at all.

Was what happened before just his hallucination?
The child began to get confused.

……

"what happened?"

Noticing Guo Shan staring at him in a daze, Xiao Xiao was confused for a moment, then he understood a little, but he still touched Guo Shan's head with a puzzled look on his face.

"nothing."

Guo Shan hurriedly shook his head. No matter what color Master Xiao's eyes were, Master Xiao was Master Xiao, his savior and friend!

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao chuckled, and then said to Xiao Yuan, who was eager to learn, with some regret: "The Buddha said: It cannot be said."

Without waiting for the child to protest, Xiao Xiao continued, "This is a secret between Guo Shan and I."

"Isn't that right, Guo Shan?"

Xiao Xiao blinked at Guo Shan.

"Ok!"

Guo Shan responded loudly, his face flushed with excitement.

This is a secret between him and Master Xiao.

He won't tell anyone!
……

"Hey~"

Xiao Yuan shouted in dissatisfaction.

Wen Shaoyang and Chi Xiuchuan looked at each other, shrugged with a wry smile, and could only give up helplessly.

……

Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Xiao unwillingly, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart, as if it was being scratched by a cat's claws.
