Chapter 25: Intertwined Dreams

The daylight in the room is the same at all times, and you can't open your eyes.

Day and night research, a huge burden, mountains and seas of testing......

He rolled to the ground like a broken gear.

After surviving all those pains, he finally came to this point.

To see the ordinary city, and when was it, this is also the dream that I have always kicked in.

“...... Is it...... yes!"

He also sent almost half of his spiritual power to Serena, and now Qiu Cicada, who can only do this, left from the fifth-class residential area with Jianming and his party.

..................

For the next few days, every night they would sneak into the fifth-class quarters to meet Serena.

Tell him stories and tell him about the outside world.

Let this poor lonely girl no longer be lonely and lonely.

Bang bang.

"Wow!!!

Serena was clapping her hands, very emotional, and it seemed that the story of Jianming's experience made her feel very fresh and interesting.

She covered her face with her hands, and the three big brothers came to accompany her every night, which made her a little embarrassed.

Qiu Chan sat on the edge of the bed and said softly to Serena: "Hurry up and become a scholar and go see the real city." ”

Jianming sat at the end of the bed, this was the first time he had heard of this.

"Well, Serena wants to be a scholar?"

Serena smiled and nodded, like a fluffy bunny.

"Hmm!"

Chen Shihu, who was sitting on the chair next to the bedside table, rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "Then, do you want my brother and me to come here every day to teach you to read?"

After listening to Chen Shihu's suggestion, Serena smiled, and she asked in disbelief: "Really, really?"

But before Chen Shihu could answer.

Serena put down her hands covering her face and covered them on her chest, panting for breath in her mouth, it seemed that the emotional excitement of this meeting had consumed a lot of physical strength......

She immediately shook her head.

“...... No, forget it, I'd like to hear more about the outside than literacy......"

Jianming tilted his head.

"Why?"

Serena had a few drops of sweat on her head, and she clutched her chest and said, "Because I may not live to become a scholar......

"My mom used to apologize to me because of my chest disease...... So I don't think I'll live long......"

All three of them were listening to Serena carefully and quietly.

Serena, who realized that the atmosphere had become awkward, was tired, but she also blushed and smiled.

"But that's okay! Just listening to you and imagining it is already fun......! What the hell does it look like? haha!"

..................

Jianming and Chen Shihu both smiled again for Serena, only Qiu Cicada was alone, his face was like stagnant water, as if he was thinking seriously about something............

Today's time is also over, Jianming and Chen Shihu have walked out of the room, only Qiu Chan is still sending spiritual power to Serena.

Outside the house, Chen Shihu and Jianming, who had just walked out of the door, were surrounded by several people, as if they had something to say.

The leader was an old man who had met a few days ago, and he was the main person in charge of this area.

He stopped Jianming like this, and said respectfully: "Your name is ...... Long Jianming, right? Thank you...... I never imagined that a martial artist would be so kind to the children of the fifth class......"

It turned out that he had come to apologize for what happened a few days ago and thanked him.

Chen Shihu stood up from behind Jianming.

He still couldn't accept the way of life of these people.

"District Governor, don't you think this kind of day is unacceptable?"

The old man lowered his head, his face bitter.

"No...... Although it is like this now, it is much better than when the previous kings ruled. At that time...... War can break out at any time, and the civilian population will not have a stable income and a job......"

"Compared to that time...... Now that everyone has something to eat, it's much better......"

"But ............"

Several elderly people behind the old man also showed painful expressions.

"But poor thing, it's the 'next generation' here, Serena...... My son they ......"

"I know it's our own wit, but the children ...... It's innocent......"

After speaking, the old man straightened up again.

He came to meet with Jianming today, and there are more important things.

He said, "I'm grateful, but it's not the way to go." You come here every day, and sooner or later you will be discovered, and by that time...... Neither we nor you will be punished, so ...... Please don't come again, I promise you, we'll take care of that child......"

Chen Shihu looked surprised, but he couldn't speak.

How...... There will be such a thing......

Jianming's face was calm, and he didn't seem to intend to agree to the old man's request.

Meanwhile...... Inside the house.

Autumn Cicada is holding Serena's hand, and in her heart, she has already made a decision.

There was a bit of determination in his smiling expression, which proved his determination.

After that, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "You want to see the outside with your own eyes, right? I'll help you realize your dreams! Don't look at me like this, brother, I'm still quite strong!"

Serena was incredulous, but her joy could not be hidden.

"Really!"

The corners of the autumn cicada's mouth rise, indicating that this is a man's agreement. A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase.

"Really, really, those two brothers can't beat me!"

Hey, hey, hey............

Serena smiled and held out a little thumb.

"Then we, Hook. ”

Qiu Cicada took the hand happily.

"Well, the retractor. ”

The rough warrior's big hand and the delicate girl's small hand are hooked together, looking very incongruous, but very warm.

"The next time we see each other will probably be a long time later...... Don't be afraid of loneliness. ”

"Brother promises you, the next time we meet...... I'll take you to the earth myself!"

"Hmm!"

Serena nodded cheerfully.

After touching her head and praising her for being a good and strong child, she left Serena's residence.

After hearing the old man's request, Qiu Cicada uncharacteristically readily agreed.

After that, he pulled Jianming and Chen Shihu away.

"Hey, I said, why did you say yes?"

Chen Shihu was on the street, chattering about the autumn cicada.

Jianming didn't speak, he was thinking about things, too many things.

What is special about this country, the political approach of Wuzun Ye Chou, and...... How can Serena be happy?

If, after a year or two, Serena dies, can it be called a proper death?

With the blessing of the Southern Dipper, did he bring death to his surroundings?

"I said, Jianming. ”

The three of them walked for a while, and only stopped when they reached an alley where no one was around.

As soon as he stopped, Qiu Cicada accosted Jianming.

The autumn cicada, which was ignoring Chen Shihu all the way, looked extremely serious at this moment.

"I want to save Serena. ”

Qiu Cicada's simple speech was enough to make Chen Shihu shut up quietly.

Jianming nodded.

"I want to do it too, how do I do it?"

Chen Shihu just turned his gaze from the speed of light between the two of them, as if he were an outsider.

Qiu Cicada nodded, and said in a solemn tone: "I...... Promise Serena to bring her to the ground the next time I see her. ”

"Penglai is a country that respects martial arts, and the strong have the absolute right to speak, so ......"

Jianming understood what Qiu Cicada wanted to do, and he gestured out an index finger and pointed to the only answer.

"Martial Arts Conference. ”

Martial Arts Conference ...... Soon after, the annual luxury ceremony will be held to choose the strong and obtain the qualification to challenge Ye Chou.

I want to play the ...... But it's not something that everyone can do.

Chen Shihu also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and he also thought about it seriously.

Qiu Chan continued: "That's right, it's the Martial Arts Conference, I want to attend that, defeat Ye Chou, become a martial artist, and rewrite the laws of this country!"

"For this reason...... Jianming, you already know what makes this country special, and I want to prove that I am strong. ”

The autumn cicada bent down deeply and stretched out her hand.

"Please...... Help me. ”

For the first time, when the two met in the dormitory, Jianming did not hold Qiu Cicada's hand.

The second time, after the end of the competition, Qiu Cicada did not hold Jianming's hand.

Again and again and not in three.

Syllable.

Jianming held Qiu Cicada's hand tightly.

He smiled heartily.

"Isn't that a matter of course! I also want to see how strong I really are! That martial arts conference, just let me participate in it!"

In fact, Jianming didn't just want to participate in the martial arts conference and test his strength.

He wanted to too.

I also want to defeat the invincible Wuzun in that person's mouth, Ye Chou.

The two agreed, and then turned their heads to look at Chen Shihu, who had been silent for a while.

Without saying a word, they were waiting, waiting for Chen Shihu to finish thinking and give them answers.

After a while, Chen Shihu finally spoke, his tone a little helpless.

"Martial Arts Conference...... It was a brutal battlefield where there were no regrets, and the level was extremely high, and I was ...... I guess it's hard to get out of the race...... But, I'm going to cheer you two on! There's anything I can do, just tell me! Whether it's a sparring partner or a punching bag, I can!"

After listening to Chen Shihu's bold words, Qiu Cicada patted him on the shoulder, and in the past few days, unconsciously, the relationship between the two of them has become very close.

"Okay! Then I'll ask you to be my opponent from tomorrow onwards, and practice with me! In order to win, you must work harder!"

"Hmm!"

Jianming nodded and began to plan his next course of action.

"There should be less than a month before the registration deadline, and tomorrow I will ask the teacher about the specific process and training method. ”

"Okay, then it's decided!"

Make up your mind and get out of the alley.

At nightfall, three like-minded warriors walked back to the school side by side.
