The host led Bai Shaoqin and Mr. Mo into the house, while Xu Zhi went to the tea room next door and brought a pot of hot water.

After entering the house, the four of them sat cross-legged on the futon, but Bai Shaoqin opened his mouth first: "Uncle Zhengbei, you haven't heard from me since you sent me to my adoptive parents! Where have you been all these years?"

Looking at Mo Zhengbei, who was almost indistinguishable from his memory, Bai Shaoqin only felt a little warm under his eyes.

Mo Zhengbei was his father's comrade-in-arms back then, and took care of himself for almost two years after the attack on Beicheng, until he was old enough to receive general education, and then found a childless couple to entrust him to them, and grew up on the benefits of the federal government.

And after handing himself over to the couple, Mo Zhengbei was like evaporating from the world, and for eleven years, there was no news.

Looking at Bai Shaoqin, who was already about the same height as himself, with the shadow of an old man on his face, Mo Zhengbei was also a little excited: "I have been running around the earth and star all these years and have not returned to Beicheng, so I have never come back to see you, Xiaobai, you have grown up..."

"But then again, what are you doing in the Star Hidden Temple? Mo Zhengbei touched Bai Shaoqin's head, his eyes were full of love.

"Well, Uncle Zhengbei, I did enroll, but I didn't awaken the ability like my father, so I had to practice martial arts, and it just so happened that Xu Zhi was my classmate, so I took advantage of the first vacation after entering the school to come back with him, and wanted to learn some martial arts basics in Xingyin Temple. ”

The host took the kettle brought by Xu Zhi, and then divided the four cups and put them in front of each of them, he did not interrupt the reminiscence of the two, but just motioned for Xu Zhi to sit down and watch quietly.

"I see. Mo Zhengbei nodded.

"By the way, Uncle Zhengbei, do you know why the ghost exterminator would lead his clan to attack Beicheng back then?" Bai Shaoqin suddenly asked.

Mo Zhengbei's eyes flickered, it stands to reason that Bai Shaoqin was only three years old when the alien beasts attacked the city, and he should not have an impression of the bee swarm that covered the sky and the sun: "Do you know the reason for the death of your parents?"

Bai Shaoqin nodded: "I really don't have much memory of what happened back then, and I have asked my adoptive parents many times, but they have never told me, but by chance, I still know that it was the ghost bee that attacked the city back then." ”

Mo Zhengbei sighed: "That group of ghost exterminators has existed outside Beicheng for at least fifteen years, and the residents and strangers of Beicheng have always been innocent, no one knows why they suddenly attacked Beicheng, otherwise they would definitely take precautions."

Your father was originally from Beicheng, and he also stayed in Beicheng after the completion of three years of service in the City Guard, although he has no special abilities, but with a sword skill, ordinary C-level abilities are not his opponents. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Zhengbei's eyes were a little dazed, as if he remembered the years back then: "I met your father before joining the City Guard, and we were in the same Ancient Martial Alliance of the Earth Star back then, which is why I came here." ”

Mo Zhengbei turned his head to look at the host in front of him: "President, even if you are completely disappointed in those ancient martial arts families, but look at Xiaobai, he is the son of Yu Nan, Yu Nan had an accident in the second year after you left the union, Yu Nan's hand of swords broke the inheritance, he needs to come to Xingyin Temple to practice the foundation of martial arts, do you really bear it..."

Bai Shaoqin, the president of the Guwu Alliance, secretly slandered in his heart that he had never heard his adoptive parents talk about it before, and Mo Zhengbei never seemed to mention it in his memory.

The host picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the warm tea soup in one gulp: "Master Mo, I am no longer the president of the Guwu Alliance, I am only a host in the Xingyin Temple now, and I usually teach some disciples in the academy some personal skills, but I can't afford such a heavy responsibility anymore." ”

Mo Zhengbei's hand holding the teacup was forceful, and the teacup exploded, dyeing his front with a heavy color: "President, would you rather the three-hundred-year foundation of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance be destroyed like this than come forward?"

Mo Zhengbei's tone was a little sharp, Xu Zhi seemed to be a little dissatisfied, he just wanted to speak but was pressed by the host, he shook his head, looked at Mo Zhengbei's eyes and replied: "Master Mo, I have never wanted to emulate my predecessors, of course, I don't have the means to reach the sky like the first host, but the progress of ancient martial arts cultivation is slow, and it is time-consuming and laborious, and there is really not much choice in today's when the ability is popular." As for the collapse or reform of the Guwu Alliance, it is the result of the choice of the times. ”

Mo Zhengbei was stunned, he also failed to awaken his ability, so he knew the hardships of cultivating ancient martial arts.

But he still wanted to fight for it again, his eyes showed a trace of unbearability, and he said ruthlessly: "If the current Guwu Alliance has changed or dispersed, then what if there are still people like me and Yu Nan's son, although they have no special ability affinity, but still want to set foot or have to embark on the path of cultivation? ”

The more Bai Shaoqin listened, the more confused he became: "Uncle Zhengbei, what is the matter with the alliance's funding you mentioned? Didn't my adoptive parents raise me all these years on the welfare funds of the Earth Star Federal Government?"

Mo Zhengbei glanced at Bai Shaoqin: "Xiaobai, do you know how much the government's monthly welfare allowance is? It's less than 3,000? Do you think back to all these years, although your living environment is not very rich, is there a lot of necessary things in your cultivation? Do you think that just the meager income of your adoptive parents as ordinary people can provide you with ten years of general education?"

Bai Shaoqin suddenly remembered what Hai Xin had said to him last time, he said that he was lucky, and the benefits of the earth star were far from being as good as he imagined, although he did not refute it at the time, he was still unconvinced in his heart.

According to Mo Zhengbei's words, then everything can be explained, in addition to the welfare fund of the Earth Star, there is also the financial support of the Guwu Alliance where his father was alive, so he can successfully complete his studies and enter the Heavenly Castle.

Bai Shaoqin was speechless for a moment and lowered his head.

Seeing this, the host just sighed: "It's indeed a pity for Yu Nan, but Xiao Mo, you let the new master of the alliance reform, or find someone else." ”

Probably because of Bai Shaoqin's relationship, the host's tone softened a lot, but he still didn't agree to Mo Zhengbei's request, he stretched out his right hand, turned his backhand, and the teacup crumbs scattered on the table flew up out of thin air and gathered in the host's hand.

With a slight force in the palm of his hand, the crumbs were put together, restored to the original shape of the teacup, but it was full of cracks, and then the host put the teacup in his hand on the table in front of Mo Zhengbei.

Let go, the teacup seemed to be intact, but in the next second, Mo Zhengbei was about to pick it up, and the teacup fell apart again in front of his hand, turning into countless pieces.

Mo Zhengbei was silent, the meaning of the host was self-evident, and he was no longer aggressive.

After a while, Mo Zhengbei got up, made a big salute to the host, and turned around to leave.

"Uncle Zhengbei, can you give me your heavenly news, I will contact you in the future. Seeing that Mo Zhengbei was leaving, Bai Shaoqin wanted to preside over and said sorry and hurriedly chased out.

Looking at Bai Shaoqin, who was still immature, Mo Zhengbei's eyes were full of the shadow of Bai Yunan's youth, he stretched out his left hand and leaned Tianxun on Bai Shaoqin's SPE: "Xiaobai, practice hard in the academy, and wait for you to break through the A level one day when you become successful in cultivation, then come to Uncle Zhengbei." ”

Mo Zhengbei's words contained an infinite meaning, as the current third-in-command of the Guwu Alliance, he could know much more than Bai Shaoqin knew from Anna and the others.

Touching Bai Shaoqin's head for the last time, Mo Zhengbei gave him a man's hug and then turned to leave.

Seeing Mo Zhengbei leave, it was very similar to the scene when he handed himself over to his adoptive parents, but this time, Bai Shaoqin didn't cry anymore.

Back in the room, Xu Zhi and the host both held teacups and drank slowly.

Bai Shaoqin bowed to the host again, and then sat back in his place.

The host looked at Bai Shaoqin, his eyes were soft, and he said slowly: "How many memories do you have of your biological father?"

Bai Shaoqin raised his head, looked into the host's eyes, and shook his head after thinking for a moment: "I was only about four years old when my father left, and except for remembering that my father always carried a flower sword with him, the rest of my impressions were very vague. ”

"Since you are the son of Yu Nan, then I will call you Shaoqin, your father is the only son of the Bai family in Beicheng, although he has no special ability, but he has entered the illusion with a sword in one hand, and has the strength of not losing to the B-level ability, and if there is a few years of precipitation, he should be able to break through the A-level before the age of forty. ”

Hearing the host talk about his father, Bai Shaoqin immediately became serious.

"When I met him, he was probably a few years older than you now, and at that time, Yu Nan, who had just joined the Guwu Alliance, had shown excellent cultivation and management skills, and was once regarded as the successor to the next president of the Guwu Alliance.

It wasn't until later that he met your mother, and although his sword moves and cultivation were still improving, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had lost a lot of ambition after having a family. ”

Speaking of this, the host took a sip of the teacup in front of him: "In the second year when Yu Nan and your mother met, your father basically gave up his important position in the Guwu Alliance, and took your mother back to Beicheng as a basic liaison, and also joined the City Guard Army of Beicheng. ”

Bai Shaoqin nodded silently.

The host turned his head and changed his words: "Xiaozhi, how long will you stay in the Academy?"

Xu Zhi thought about it, if school starts in March next year, he will have time to return to the Earth Star at the end of February: "I can stay for about three months, uncle." ”

The host poured Bai Shaoqin another cup of hot tea, and after he finished drinking, he closed his eyes: "It's tiring to come back from the earth star, you and Shaoqin go to rest first, don't worry about cultivation, although the academy does not have your Bai family's foil inheritance, but there are other swordsmanship, and let people show them to you one by one tomorrow, I hope you can get something from it." ”

Xu Zhi got up and pulled Bai Shaoqin, who was still stunned, and the two quietly retreated.

After the two of them walked away, a hint of strange color flashed in the host's eyes, and he muttered: "It's no accident that Zhengbei came here, is the alliance really so unbearable now?"

As he spoke, the host shook his head: "But what does it have to do with me..."
