After transmigrating into the book, I became the little sun of the crazy villain.

Chapter 51 Who is Xiao Tong?

"Then you've been wronged too," Yun Zhao clenched his fist. "Don't let me run into him, or I'll definitely beat him up!"

Qi Yan chuckled, "Alright, alright, go ahead and beat him up, I'll keep watch for you."

The two chatted back and forth, and Gu Dinghan, who hadn't eaten dinner, suddenly felt quite bloated in his stomach, as if he had eaten a lot of very filling food.

Bai Lingxiao said with a smile, "Zhaozhao, you and Junior Brother Qi have such a good relationship. I'm looking forward to your wedding banquet."

Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment before realizing that in the cultivation world, "结侣" (jié lǚ) means "to form a partnership" or "to get married".

She instinctively looked at Qi Yan, only to find him looking at her too. Their eyes met.

"Ahem," Yun Zhao coughed twice, "Senior Sister, well, let's talk about the next plan."

"It's still early," Qi Yan replied. "We'll invite you after we set the date."

Yun Zhao was stunned, "You..."

Qi Yan toyed with a strand of her hair that had fallen down, and said very naturally, "You love me, and I love you too. If you don't want to be my partner, do you want to be with Song..."

His voice became lower and lower.

Yun Zhao covered his mouth, "No, don't talk nonsense, who would want to be partners with that person?"

Good heavens, thankfully she reacted quickly; her favorability rating almost dropped.

Qi Yan smiled. "So that means you agree?"

Yun Zhao: "..."

She said fiercely, "I'll settle the score with you later!"

Qi Yan said good-naturedly, "I'll wait."

The two were flirting and teasing each other, which made the four of them feel so full that Xiao Tong had already given up.

Before his death, the old sect leader instructed her to take care of Yun Zhao. Once Yun Zhao reached the Golden Core stage, she could leave on her own. After reaching the Golden Core stage, Yun Zhao and Song Zhiyuan would become Daoist partners, and someone would take care of her for the rest of her life.

However, during her time with Yun Zhao, Xiao Tong decided not to leave.

She realized early on that Song Zhiyuan was not a good man, but fortunately, Yun Zhao listened to her when she was young and stayed away from Song Zhiyuan.

However, after Yun Zhao grew up, she became hopelessly infatuated with Song Zhiyuan. If Xiao Tong hadn't had a special way to confirm that it was the real Yun Zhao, she probably would have thought that she had been possessed.

One day, by a stroke of luck, Yun Zhao's blindness was finally cured, but then...

The little girl's sinister gaze kept glancing at Qi Yan. She could see through people's hearts and know good and evil, but she couldn't see through Qi Yan!

It's even difficult to tell whether this person is a friend or foe.

Noticing the child's gaze, Qi Yan did not look over. His gaze remained fixed on Yun Zhao, as if he were looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

The child frowned but didn't say anything.

In the past, she would have taken advantage of her youth to pull Yun Zhao away from Qi Yan.

After experiencing so much, Xiao Tong suddenly felt that entrusting Yun Zhao to Qi Yan was not a bad idea. This person... well, he's more reliable than Song Zhiyuan.

She couldn't stay with Yun Zhao and protect her forever. Besides Yun Zhao becoming stronger herself, she needed to find someone to rely on when she was weak.

After thinking it over and discussing their next steps, Xiao Tong made an excuse to leave.

In the woods not far from the servants' quarters, Qi Yan suddenly appeared in front of the boy. "What is it?"

He looked at Xiaotong with unusual seriousness. Xiaotong said she had something to say about Yun Zhao, something that concerned Yun Zhao's life or death.

“It’s nothing,” Xiaotong kicked a pebble at his feet. “I’ll be away for a while. During that time, please protect her.”

Qi Yan knew who she was talking about, and he said bluntly, "She is mine, and I will naturally protect her."

"As for you," Qi Yan's scrutinizing gaze fell on the child, "who exactly are you?"

The child shrugged. "People? Maybe not."

"Perhaps it's a human, perhaps it's a demon, perhaps..."

She smiled and said, "Perhaps I don't even know what I am."

After saying that, the boy turned and left.

Qi Yan stood there, pondering all his memories from his past life, but it seemed that there was no such person as Xiao Tong.

Given how much Xiaotong valued Yunzhao, in her previous life when Yunzhao died, she was either held back by something and couldn't save her in time, or... something happened!

But what does this have to do with Qi Yan?

Qi Yan turned away indifferently. All he needed to do was ensure that Yun Zhao was always by his side, safe and sound.

Second Master Song did not cause any disturbance in the Song family. The incriminating evidence against the Song family head that he had in his possession was also destroyed one by one by the Song family head.

Inside the patriarch's study, the Song family patriarch looked at Song Zhiyuan, whose face was cold and indifferent, and sighed, "Zhiyuan, how long will you continue to resent your father?"

Song Zhiyuan said coldly, "As long as Father can bring my mother back, I promise I will no longer resent you."

The head of the Song family was speechless. "Your mother..."

He wanted to say something, but ultimately kept quiet.

"You still won't tell me," Song Zhiyuan clenched his fist. "Why won't you tell me where my mother is? She's not dead, so why won't you let me see her!"

When Song Zhiyuan returned home this time, he was surprised to learn that his mother was not dead, but had been hidden away by the Song family head.

The head of the Song family closed his eyes briefly. "Zhiyuan, just know that your mother and I are doing this for your own good. Don't worry, one day our family will be reunited."

Song Zhiyuan's expression softened somewhat, and he slowly loosened his grip. "That Qi Yan..."

The head of the Song family looked disdainful. "He is someone your mother and I brought here to protect you from disaster. Zhiyuan, you don't need to worry about his blood relation to you. Just treat him as your slave."

"By the way, has Qi Yan been behaving well lately? If he's being disobedient, a good whipping will make him behave."

Qi Yan is a low-key person, and since Demon-Slaying City is located in a remote area, the Song family head is unaware that Qi Yan has already escaped.

Song Zhiyuan's eyes flickered, but he still decided to be honest with the Song family head, "He... escaped."

"what!"

The head of the Song family was so shocked that he stood up. "What's going on!"

Song Zhiyuan told the Song family head how Qi Yan escaped, how he became a disciple of Qingyun Peak, and how he stole Yun Zhao's heart.

The head of the Song family was exasperated. "You child, you should have told me immediately so I could have made plans sooner."

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke, as if he wished he could lock Qi Yan up again immediately.

Song Zhiyuan's expression darkened. "Father, is Qi Yan really that powerful? Even you are wary of him."

"He's just a lowly half-demon, yet he makes you so wary."

“I’m really curious,” Song Zhiyuan chuckled, “I’m really curious about who this Lady Yuan is.”

Upon hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar name, a hint of awkwardness crossed the Song family patriarch's face. "Don't worry about it, Zhiyuan. Things have come to this point. I forbid you from having any further contact with Qi Yan. From now on, whenever you see him..."

After hesitating for a moment, the Song family head said resolutely, "Stay away from him if you see him in the future."

Song Zhiyuan stiffened. "You want me to avoid him?"

The Song family head said ruthlessly, "Yes."

"Zhiyuan, listen to me. If you don't do as I say, I will tell your mother."

The head of the Song family said helplessly, "You know your mother's health isn't good."
