Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 490 Relatives?

It was a hazy moonlit night, with the watery moonlight falling on the earth, casting a mysterious veil over the entire world. Xu Changping moved quickly and soon stood in front of the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing that the vermilion gate was slightly ajar, Xu Changping did not hesitate. He reached out and gently pushed the door open, then slowly walked into the yard pushing his bicycle.

However, just after he stepped into the yard, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Brother Xu, is that you?"

This sudden greeting startled Xu Changping, and he stopped and turned around to see Yan Jiecheng walking towards him quickly with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Brother Yan, what a coincidence!" Xu Changping responded with a smile.

"That's right. I came back early today and wanted to find you to chat, but ended up finding you empty-handed." Yan Jiecheng said as he quickened his pace and soon came to Xu Changping's side.

"I'm really sorry, Brother Yan, I encountered something today, so I'm delayed until now." Xu Changping touched his nose and explained awkwardly.

"I guess so." Xie Cheng nodded very understandingly, then changed the subject and said in a somewhat mysterious tone: "Brother Xu, I got a rare medicinal herb when I went out this time. When can you help me keep an eye out for it?" After saying that, he looked at Xu Changping expectantly.

Xu Changping's heart suddenly moved, and his thoughts instantly drifted back to the scene of his interaction with Yan Jiecheng not long ago.

Although it had not been too long since I gave him the prescription at close range, he was after all a time traveler with a cultivation space. Maybe he really had some kind of unique luck and could accidentally discover some rare things.

However, at this moment, Xu Changping's mind was not on this at all, because he was still thinking about the Yang sisters, and had no time to discuss the matter of medicinal materials with Yan Jiecheng.

Helplessly, he could only speak with a little tiredness: "Brother Yan, how about tomorrow? I'm a little tired now. If you are really anxious, you can come to see me early tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng was stunned at first, then he reacted and quickly responded: "Oh, if that's the case, then you should go back and have a rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Seeing that Xu Changping had said so much, Yan Jiecheng naturally couldn't force him to stay. After all, he would still have to rely on him to help him identify those rare medicinal materials in the future.

"Okay, then I won't talk to you any more." Xu Changping turned around and waved goodbye to Yan Jiecheng, then pushed his bicycle back to the East Courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, Xu Changping saw Yang Xiaoyue's bicycle parked there quietly.

Although the lights in the next room had gone out, Xu Changping knew clearly that the Yang sisters had returned.

Xu Changping did not rush to knock on the door next door. After parking his bicycle steadily, he slowly walked towards the door of his own house.

When his eyes fell on the tightly closed door that was obviously bolted from inside the house, his heart couldn't help but move slightly.

After a slight hesitation, he gently raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, neither light nor heavy.

Then, he clearly heard a slight breathing sound coming from inside the house, followed by rapid rustling sounds.

After waiting for a while, the door slowly opened with a creaky sound, and a plain face without any makeup but still beautiful and charming appeared in front of Xu Changping.

She just raised the corner of her mouth and said softly with a gentle smile: "Brother Xu, you're back." Before she finished speaking, Yang Xiaoyue had already stepped out of the room.

The moonlight poured down like water, just sprinkling on Yang Xiaoyue's body, as if covering her with a layer of silver gauze.

At this moment, she was like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world, instantly brightening up the slightly dim courtyard.

Faced with such a beautiful scene, Xu Changping felt his thoughts suddenly stop, and he stood there as if petrified.

After a moment, he came back to his senses like a young man who had never experienced the world. His cheeks quickly flushed, and even his ears turned red: "Well, that, I actually came back at noon, but I didn't see you."

"Haha! I sent Xiao Mi to Master Guan today, but he kept her." Yang Xiaoyue raised her head slightly, raised her fair and tender little hands, gently covered her mouth, and said in a tender voice.

"So that's how it is! No wonder." Xu Changping nodded thoughtfully to show his understanding.

Then, he asked curiously, "But speaking of which, you didn't sleep at night and waited for me here. Do you have something important to tell me?"

Xu Changping's eyes unconsciously fell on Yang Xiaoyue, who was wearing a loose and comfortable home clothes. Then he strode into the house, secretly guessing the real intention behind her action.

Yang Xiaoyue followed Xu Changping into the room. After they both came in, she quickly closed the door and said, "Of course something happened, otherwise I would have gone to bed a long time ago."

Xu Changping took off his heavy coat, a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Who is this person?"

He really couldn't figure out who on earth could make his master value him so much that he was willing to keep Yang Xiaoyue.

Hearing Xu Changping's question, Yang Xiaoyue took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and slowly uttered a few words: "It is said that... this person is a relative of Xiao Mi and me."

As soon as the words fell, it was like dropping a blockbuster bomb, instantly causing a huge wave of shock in Xu Changping's heart.

"Relatives! You and Xiao Mi actually have relatives!" Xu Changping suddenly paused in his hands, his face full of surprise. He turned his head and looked straight at Yang Xiaoyue who was standing beside him.

Yang Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "How could you forget so quickly? Master Guan told me last time that this was the person who saved Xiao Mi and me in the dilapidated temple."

After she reminded him, Xu Changping suddenly remembered the incident and nodded, "Oh, I do remember it, but wasn't it said at the time that the man had disappeared? How come he suddenly showed up again and went through so many twists and turns to find you?"

As he spoke, Xu Changping scooped up water with both hands and splashed it on his face a few times. Then he hurriedly turned off the faucet and picked up a towel to wipe it vigorously. He looked a little embarrassed.
