Tianlong City, a hidden place on the mountainside of Tianlong Mountain.

"Grandpa, Styx Chong and I are going to Star Crown City tomorrow. Under the starry sky, in the reflection of candlelight, Ye Xing lay on the shoulders of an old man with white hair and beard.

The old man looked up at the night sky, sighed, and said, "The young eagle has grown, and it should dance in the air." Grandpa can't keep the star girl by his side. ”

"Grandpa~" Ye Xing said coquettishly.

"Grandpa doesn't object to you going to the Star Crest Academy, after all, people can't live under someone else's wing for the rest of their lives. It's just that Ye Ming entrusted you to me at the beginning, saying that if you can, I will only let you spend this life happily as an ordinary person. I don't want you to get hurt, stargirl. The old man touched Ye Xing's head and said softly.

"I will protect myself, I must become stronger, become stronger than my father. When the time comes, I'll be the one to protect you, grandpa. Ye Xing said firmly.

"Hahaha, grandpa's old bones can still move for a few years, and when you come back, grandpa may no longer be there. ”

"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, you will definitely live a long life. Ye Xing sat up and said slightly angrily.

"Good, good. There is a star girl, grandpa must live to be 100 years old. ”

"Grandpa......" Ye Xing's heart softened, tears welled up, and he hugged the old man, "In this world, my favorite person is you." ”

"Oh, then don't bring a young man to Grandpa. The old man quipped.

Ye Xingqiao's face was slightly red, and she muttered, "Grandpa, what are you talking about." ”

"Hahaha," the old man smiled, and then said with a straight face, "Okay, girl, before you go, I'll teach you some skills of [camouflage] ability, but listen well." ”

Ye Xing nodded, enjoying the time of the grandfather and grandson.

The next morning.

"Master, I'm here to pick up Ye Xing and set off. Stygian said respectfully outside the cabin.

There was no movement in the cabin, but the Dark Chong stood still. After a while, the wooden house opened softly, and the old man walked out of the house.

The girl was still sleeping, and she would leave when he woke up. ”

"Yes. ”

The old man took out a letter from his body and handed it to Shen Chong, "The vice president of the Star Crown Academy is an acquaintance of mine, give him this letter when you arrive, and he will take care of you." ”

"Yes. ”

"Be careful on the road, don't get into trouble. ”

"Yes. ”

"Over the years, I can see that you have great potential, and now your ability is not low. I'm not with the girl, and I can only rely on you to protect her. ”

"The disciple will definitely protect Xing'er's safety, and whoever wants to hurt Xing'er must step on my corpse first. ”

"That's it, that's fine. The old man stopped talking, but turned to look at the door that had not yet been opened.

"Master. ”

The old man looked at Styro, who was kneeling on the ground, his head pressed against the ground.

"Hurry up, what do you mean?"

"When I was seven years old, I was living on the streets, and my master took me home and taught me how to do it. I can't repay you for your great kindness. ”

"It's also a bitter kid for you, who lives on the streets at a young age, but as long as you protect the star girl, it's the best reward for me, get up quickly. The old man tried to help him get up, but he was frozen in place by the next words.

"Please expel me from the sect. The words of the Dead Chong were loud and clear.

"Why is that?"

"I have something I have to do, and it may implicate you, so please expel me from the sect, and there is no relationship between you and me. Styx's face was still cold, without any expression.

"Alas, why are you so troubled? "From the first time I saw Shen Chong, Shen Chong's eyes were full of hatred, and now this feeling has been buried deep in my heart, and it may explode at any time.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will follow you. Now I will expel you from the sect, between you and me...... It doesn't matter anymore. The old man turned around and closed his eyes to stop looking at the Dark Chong.

"Xie-master. After another big bow, he kept this posture and remained motionless.

Soon, the door creaked open, Ye Xing looked at the Ming Chong who was kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Grandpa, Ming Chong, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's time, let's go. The old man was no longer nostalgic, walked into the room, and disappeared from their view with the sound of the door closing.

"Styx Chong, what's wrong with Grandpa and you?" Ye Xing asked anxiously.

"It's okay, let's go. ”

"But grandpa, he. Ye Xing looked at the door, a little worried.

"Master, he doesn't want to see us now, the master will be sad, let's go. ”

Ye Xing also understood what Ming Chong meant, and shouted at the door: "Grandpa, you must wait for me and Ming Chong to come back!"

There was no echo in the room, and after waiting for a while, Ye Xing looked at the wooden house behind him with nostalgia, and set off with the Dark Chong.

After they had gone, the door opened, and the old man walked out. Looking at the direction in which they disappeared, he said a little lonely: "Star girl, I have protected you for so many years, and you can finally be independent." Styx, you have to protect the girl. I also have things I have to do. Ming'er, I will investigate your death, and I will make those people pay. The old man's eyes suddenly became resolute, and his figure slowly disappeared into the air.

This hidden valley is as uninhabited as it was a hundred years ago.
