"Xiaolian, are you ready for this competition?" In the quiet pavilion, Qingyun sat with Qinglian with a leisurely face, and the father and son had not chatted together like this for a long time.

"I don't have to participate in the competition, what do I have to prepare?" Qinglian didn't know what Qingyun meant by asking, and this competition was indeed someone else's competition for his nominal companion, "Speaking of which, after the winner enters the tower, can he not be my companion, I still like Qingchu to be my companion."

"Haha", Qingyun laughed, "Silly boy, Qingchu can't be your companion for the rest of your life?"

"What do you mean? Qing Chu wants to be someone else's companion?"

Qingyun stood up and walked to the pavilion, with his back to Qinglian, looking at the seemingly endless lake, "How about we liberate Qingchu?"

"Meaning..."Qinglian's brows pondered, she thought for a while, then stood up excitedly and angrily, patting the stone table with her right hand, "Father, you can't take Qing Chu's life!"

Although his back was up, Qingyun seemed to be able to clearly see Qinglian's excited appearance, and his shoulders were twitching slightly.

Looking at her father's back, Qinglian knew that she was being ridiculed, "Let's be honest, what the hell is going on..."

Qinglian didn't intend to investigate the reason why her father laughed at her, but the other party still laughed non-stop, and her voice couldn't hide her laughter, "Haha..."

"You!" Qinglian's five fingers on her right hand gathered slightly, and a physical ball appeared in Qinglian's hand, Qinglian's hand grabbed it, and the not big ball still showed a slight elasticity, and a pitch flew straight towards Qingyun's head.

Before the ball could touch Qingyun's hair, it suddenly spread out like a ball of sand hitting the wall, and the scattered part quickly disappeared into the air.

"There's no point in hitting me with this skill," he raised his left hand with his back to Qingyun and shook his index finger.

"Yes", Qinglian happily tilted her head, "I am more happy in my heart."

"If you were another father, you would have broken your neck, and you will be guilty of it", although the rhetoric seemed a little harsh, but the tone was gentle and spoiling.

"You can tell me, what are you going to do with Qing Chu, I'm in a hurry, you can make me happy." ”

"En", Qingyun put away his joking attitude, "We plan to return Qing Chu's freedom, not let him be a companion anymore, and resume the identity of a technician." ”

"Really?!"

In Qinglian's worldview, the companion can no longer restore the identity of a technician, but as for what exactly restricts this, Qinglian is not very clear.

"As long as your grandfather successfully goes to the tower, he will be able to remove the imprint on his body. ”

"What do you mean, what does the tower have to do with Qing Chu?"

"In this country, all technicians will be known by the tower from the moment they are born, and to become a companion is to be..."Qingyun stopped halfway through speaking, a little dazed.

"What must be taken?"

"Leave a large part of the body's blood in the tower, and the tower makes the blood of these people 'live', with so much blood, you can control a person very well. The skills of the skill master are all in the blood, once part of the blood is withdrawn, the ability will also be reduced or reduced, although the body will still make blood in the later stage, but the skills that are taken away from the blood need to be learned again. And the person who is drawn by the tower to become a companion will be branded with a skill on the back by the skilled technician in the tower with a skill, and only the skill master whose skill is higher than the brand can remove the word behind the companion. And as long as there is still such a word on the body, you can only be a lifelong companion, and you will never be able to be on an equal footing with a technician. ”

"Since there are so many disadvantages of being a companion, why do so many people choose to be companions?" Qinglian couldn't help but shake her head when she listened, if it was herself, she would definitely not want to be a companion.

"Of course there is a privilege, the tower gives the person who becomes a companion a chance to save his life, and when the life of the person who chooses to be a companion is in danger, the tower will come to the rescue", it doesn't sound like a tempting condition, but for a real crisis, being able to win one's life is more important than anything else.

"Even so, I don't think there will be so many people who will encounter a life crisis at any time, this is not the reason why Qing Chu became a companion, as long as he is in the Qing family, what else do you need to be afraid of?"

How could Qinglian, who is a person, not know that the mature and stable Qingchu is like a brother to Qinglian, and he is taking care of himself all the time.

"Hey... Some things are involuntary, and people have different reasons for becoming companions, but some people become companions for a very simple reason, because the difference between a technician and a companion is one level apart", Qingyun turned around and turned his back to the sparkling water, and the light reflected from the water surface to Qingyun's body blurred Qinglian's vision. But Qinglian could vaguely feel a sense of sadness on Qingyun's body.

Qingyun looked at Qinglian, "Skill masters are very arrogant, and they often disdain to have too much intersection with people who are inferior to themselves, whether it is hatred or something else. If an animal runs into you while running, will you go and fight with him for gain and loss, and hate him?"

Qinglian shook her head, so in the eyes of the skill master, is it the same level as an animal or a tool?But Qinglian didn't think so in her heart, maybe it was because Qingchu had been by Qinglian's side...

"So, as long as Grandpa goes to the tower, can you ask the people in the tower to help Qing Chu remove the words behind it?" Qinglian finally understood what was going on, "Even with Grandpa's current ability, he can't eliminate it?"

Qingyun shook his head, "That kind of power is unpredictable, even I can't shake a single cent of it. If it's the green leaves in the history of the Qing family, it might be easy. ”

"The great sinner, you say?"

"Although he committed a monstrous drunkenness, Aoba is indeed the most capable person in the history of the Qing family, and many of the skills that the Qing family has used to this day are skills created by him", Qingyun walked to the stone table and sat down, and when he raised the teacup and shook it, the sky around the pavilion changed.

The blue sky gradually replaced the color of orange, the clouds floating in the sky were also dyed with dazzling colors, the breeze stopped walking in this space, and the swimming fish gradually dived from the water.

Qingyun turned the teacup in another direction, and the sky was quickly rendered by ink, and the stars shifted, and the stone lamps around the pavilion lit up brightly, and everything seemed quiet and beautiful.

"Including this set of delicate natural change skills, they were all created by Aoba. ”
