Lin Suxin excitedly ran to the magic workshop to make dog food. Under her repeated urging, she only spent half a day to make the dog food with a large amount of rare magic ingredients. The main ingredient was the level 5 Golden Hound, it was guaranteed to be gentle and harmless.
She was also one of the people involved in the Magical Beast Forest incident, but because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she wasn’t under detention.
Then, Lin Suxin brought dog food to Ye Xiu’s bookstore excitedly.
Not long after she left, a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air where she had been standing. The man frowned slightly. His expression didn’t show any signs of happiness or anger. He seemed a bit confused.
After experiencing the Magical Beast Forest incident, her daughter seemed to be acting strange. It was as if she had concealed quite a few things.
She had even brought the corpse of a Golden Hound to make dog food, but she didn’t have any dog pet.
Who was the cause of her abnormal behavior?
The middle-aged man was cautious, but he did not mention it to anyone else. After all, it was related to his daughter. If his daughter made a mistake and was discovered by him, he could give her a chance to correct it in private. If the mistake was made in public, many people would come to criticize her, and it would be bad to his daughter.
Lin Suxin did not know that her actions had attracted her father’s attention. At this moment, all she could think about was fulfilling Senior Ye’s request.
In addition, the ink wash painting that was given to her had not been used up. It was better to return such a powerful treasure.
…
Dusk fell.
Outside the window, drizzles of rain gently fell on the ground without a sound.
Ye Xiu sat on a chair under the eaves of the bookstore. His body leaned forward slightly. His hands were folded together, supporting his chin as he watched the drizzle outside the door.
There weren’t any customers today, but he didn’t care. In any case, he already had a fixed number of customers. He would practice painting in the bookstore and read books. He would gradually spread his fame into the circle of ancient culture and wait for customers to come.
It was just that he wasn’t sure if Suxin had followed his instructions and brought the ink wash painting to her friend.
If she showed it to her friends, Ye Xiu might be able to attract more customers.
Ye Xiu’s gaze didn’t focus on anything else. He instantly thought of many things.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Suddenly, Xiaobai ran out of the inner room and barked outside. However, it was still small, and its voice wasn’t as loud as the big dog’s. In Ye Xiu’s eyes, it was the fierce and fierce Xiaobai that was exceptionally cute.
Ye Xiu held the back of Xiaobai’s neck and put it in his arms while stroking its head, at the same time, he said, “You dumb dog, those who can find us in this remote place are all guests. Every guest is very important. When you grow up, you can’t scare them. You must give them a warm welcome. It’s because of them that you have all that dog food to eat, understand?”
“If it’s a bad person stealing or doing something, you can’t bark. It’s not good to attract attention. You have to sneak up and bite him to teach him a lesson.”
“Of course. If you run into a mage stealing, hide as much as you can. Don’t bite him.”
Ye Xiu comforted Xiaobai. At the same time, he looked outside the door. Who could it be?
After Xiaobai heard this, it tilted its head in confusion. It seemed to understand something, but not at all. It gradually stopped barking and its tail swayed slightly.
Soon, a girl walked in from outside the bookstore. It was the girl who took the ink wash painting a while ago, Lin Suxin.
“Senior Ye, I’m late.”
After entering the bookstore, Lin Suxin saw that Ye Xiu seemed to be waiting for her, and she immediately became a little nervous.
Three days had already passed since they went to the Magical Beast Forest to hunt Golden Hound, and they had come back to receive inquiries. It had dragged on for quite a long time. Senior wouldn’t be angry, right?
Ye Xiu looked at the bag in Lin Suxin’s hand. It should be the dog food that she had asked her to buy the last time. She really was a responsible girl. It was already evening, yet she still didn’t forget to come over and deliver the goods.
He immediately smiled and waved his hand, “It’s okay. You can actually come tomorrow. You have to pay more attention to your safety.”
Lin Suxin was a bit moved as she shook her head, “It’s fine. Xiao Bai’s body is weak. It’s more important to let it get well soon. Also, there’s no safer city than South City.”
“Is that so.” Ye Xiu replied, “Have you show the painting to your friends? What did your friends say? Is my painting fine?”
“Senior’s painting is very good, but my friends haven’t seen it yet. I reckon they won’t be able to control themselves after seeing it. I want to return it to Senior. It would be a waste to put it on me.”
In her opinion, with Ye Xiu’s existence in the South City, there was no need to worry about safety.
Back then in the Magical Beast Forest, time had reversed. She was the only one who knew it. No one else knew about it. Even the level 8 magical beast, the Blue-eyed Spider, didn’t know about it, let alone her three friends.
She didn’t dare to take out that painting afterwards.
Ye Xiu was a bit confused. From what Lin Suxin said, she went to see her friends and she had brought his painting, but she didn’t show it to them for some reason. She didn’t show it because she was worried that her friends wouldn’t be able to control themselves?
She was worried that her friend would steal the painting so she returned it to him?
Now that she had specially come over, apart from giving him dog food, she wanted to return the drawing.
This girl was too cautious.
But the key was that he couldn’t say anything. After all, she hadn’t done anything wrong.
Ye Xiu waved his hand and tried to dissuade her, “Xiaobai has recovered quite a bit, but your idea isn’t right. Good things should be shared. You should share it with others. Interacting with people is always more beneficial than appreciating the painting alone.”
“And I’ve already given that painting to you as a reward for buying dog food, how can you give it back to me?”
“The painting is for appreciation. There’s no such thing as wasting it.”
It was even better if Lin Suxin’s friend couldn’t control themselves. His bookstore had a lot of ink wash paintings. If she came over and snatched it, she could report it to the security team. She wouldn’t have to wait for customers to come over.
If she didn’t take it out, why would they come over?
When Lin Suxin heard this, she suddenly had a sudden realization.
No wonder she could only feel a little bit of the law of time after watching the time reversal six times in the Magical Beast Forest. It turned out that she didn’t use the right method. She thought that Ye Xiu was giving her guidance.
Senior Ye was such an expert. He had clearly jumped out of the mortal world and should have been standing on the clouds. However, he chose to hide in the mortal world, taking the initiative to protect all living things, and was also amiable. How noble and benevolent.
She was really lucky to have met him.
Lin Suxin nodded her head seriously, “You’re right. I’ll go back and look at it with my friends. Then, I’ll keep it for myself?”
Ye Xiu smiled, “Yes, keep it. It’s best if you hold a party and invite everyone in the circle to look at it. Those who approve of it can visit my store. Your painting is only the simplest bamboo drawing. I still have quite a few suitable ones.”
Lin Suxin would only show it to her friends. She probably only had a few friends around her who liked ancient culture. The styles they liked were different, so the chances of attracting new customers would be low.
She might as well invite everyone in the ancient culture circle to look at it.
If they felt that his painting was good, she could bring them to the store. There was a very high chance of a deal.
If they didn’t like the bamboo, mountains, and rivers, he could draw animals and people. There are many things that he could draw to suit their requirement..
