"Yeah?"

Uncle Xu murmured to himself, "That's good."

"That's good."

His requirements are not high.

Probably because I waited too long.

The long time had almost wiped out all his expectations.

And, as Master Xiao said, she is a monster.

He couldn't hold her to human standards.

...

A word suddenly occurred to him.

Grass and trees are merciless.

Sure enough.

...

"By the way, the change of color of the maple leaf is its own decision."

Xiao Xiao suddenly said, "I was also surprised at the time."

"But it's a really unique way to say hello."

...

The gorgeous red maple is really beautiful.

...

Xu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the red maple in his eyes at that time.

Recalling what Master Xiao just said, he smiled.

Yes, a monster who changed the color of maple leaves for him, a monster who remembered his name and called him by his name, a monster who has been with him for more than ten years, now that he thinks about it, maybe he delayed the other person's cultivation time a lot, right?

He should be content.

She is also trying her best to be nice to him.

Even if it's a little unfair.

Even that stupid monster actually thinks that he has been living a good life.

...

However, he is indeed doing well now.

Moreover, the long wait has paid off, so don’t worry so much.

Xu Qingzhu smiled openly.

The monster's nature is such that even his blame seems a little unreasonable.

Then, I can only accept it.

...

"Yeah, it's a really special way to say hello."

Xu Qingzhu's eyebrows were gentle, "It's hard to think of such a way."

Just let him deceive himself. Maybe she... is trying to please him?

…

"Well, I also think it's trying to please Uncle Xu."

Xiao Xiao's response surprised Xu Qingzhu. Could it be that he had just spoken out what was in his heart?

…

"No."

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head, "I guessed it."

…

Obviously he didn't say anything, but he answered the questions as if the other party had the ability to read minds.

Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but touch his face.

He never knew he could show such emotions?

However, considering that the other party is Master Xiao who can see monsters, it doesn't seem strange that he can read what he is thinking.

Moreover, although he was a little uncomfortable having his inner thoughts seen through at first, Xu Qingzhu showed a cheerful smile and asked, "Master Xiao, do you think so too?"

Master Xiao's recognition made him very happy.

The remaining resentment in my heart gradually disappeared.

…

"Um."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

Regardless of the facts, isn't it nice to think like this?

…

"Master Xiao."

Xu Qingzhu carefully took out a box from the bag on the side, held it in both hands and handed it to Xiao Xiao, "This is a little bit of my heart."

"I hope Master Xiao will not refuse."

…

Xiao Xiao reached out and took it.

It is an antique sandalwood box, with a hint of sandalwood lingering on the nose.

…

"Master Xiao, open it and take a look."

"I wonder if you like it?"

Although he said he was unsure, Xu Qingzhu's eyes unconsciously revealed a bit of confidence and pride.

…

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out to open the clasp of the wooden box.

Looking down, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

…

Inside the box is a piece of red jade the size of a thumb, carved into the shape of a maple leaf.

The bright colors exude a warm, watery light.

More delicate and transparent jade,

The lifelike carving made Xiao Xiao feel like he was seeing a real maple leaf.

He stretched out his hand and took out the "maple leaf". His tentacles were cool and smooth, without any feeling of sluggishness.

Upon closer inspection, even the veins of this "maple leaf" can be clearly discerned, and it is incredibly delicate.

Compared with the maple leaves in nature, this "maple leaf" is no less elegant and full of aura.

"it's beautiful."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

…

"Master Xiao, as long as you like it."

Xu Qingzhu had a smile on his face and was not surprised by Xiao Xiao's praise.

This piece of jade deserves any praise.

…

"Too expensive."

Xiao Xiao gently put the "Maple Leaf" back into the box, looked up at Xu Qingzhu, and pushed the box in front of him.

Even if he doesn't understand jade, he can still see that this piece of jade is expensive.

The value is definitely much higher than the combined value of all the rewards he has received before.
