Chapter XXXVII
Nie Qingping's delicate body stiffened slightly, then he recovered, patted Zhou Tian's head and said softly: "Xiaotian, you have grown up and are a big man, you have to learn to be a real man, Sister Qingping can no longer take care of you in the future, you have to learn to be strong, you can't be as willful as before, you know, otherwise my sister won't be at ease when she leaves." β
"Sister Qingping, you're just willful in front of you." Zhou Tian said secretly in his heart, but he hummed very obediently in his mouth, looking well-behaved and obedient, which made Nie Qingping sigh again, and the bits and pieces of getting along with Zhou Tian in the past few years flashed in her mind, she was a little hesitant, should she take Zhou Tian away?
It's just that she only hesitated for a moment and gave up this unrealistic idea, something big had just happened there, and even she didn't know what would happen when she went back, and she took Zhou Tian back, and she couldn't protect him, but she would only hurt him.
Zhou Tian is not the kind of boy who is emotionally fragile, in front of the younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage, he is a strong and tall big brother, and in front of the dean and Aunt Rong, he is a pillar who can support the entire orphanage.
Nie Qingping was the only exception, from the day he saw her, she had become his most trusted person.
Some people say that girls are the most emotional, trusting and distrusting a man only by feeling, in fact, how is it the same for men? From the first time Zhou Tian saw Nie Qingping, he had an inexplicable trust in her unconditionally, maybe this is fate.
Zhou Tian finally left Nie Qingping's warm and soft embrace, but his left hand still held her jade hand, and his right hand patted his chest and promised: "Sister Qingping, don't worry, I will be strong, and I will not be willful in the future, I will make myself stronger and stronger, and I will protect Sister Qingping in the future!" β
Looking at the firm eyes on that slightly immature face, Nie Qingping gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for him, and did not hit him, nodded and said, "Well, that sister is waiting for our little heaven to protect you!" β
"A must!" Zhou Tian's tone was firm and authentic.
He could see that she didn't want to hit her perfunctory, but he didn't care, one day he would prove it to her, he wasn't just talking!
She could also see the firmness of his tone, but she could only sigh in her heart, her world, maybe he would never be able to touch it!
It's just that I'm afraid that even Nie Qingping himself didn't expect that day to be that day actually not far away!
Nie Qingping is a cultivator of the third layer of Qi Gathering, but after Zhou Tian's cultivation was recognized by the Jade Qing Hairpin that day, not to mention that it was only Nie Qingping of the third layer of Qi Gathering, even the senior brother Qingsong of the fourth layer of Qi Gathering couldn't feel the Dao power on his body when Zhou Tian didn't stimulate his true qi.
"Take away your filthy paws!"
Just as Zhou Tian swore to grab Nie Qingping's jade hand and said that he would protect her in the future, an angry and cold voice resounded behind him.
"Whose dog is barking everywhere, does your owner know?" Zhou Tian saw Nie Qingping's face change abruptly, so he also turned around, and saw a handsome young man dressed in a red satin brocade robe, dressed like an ancient person, staring at him like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, as if he wanted to tear him away immediately.
Zhou Tian could feel the slight tremor of Nie Qingping's jade hand, although he didn't know the reason, he knew that he must have been frightened by this handsome young man, so he immediately went back unceremoniously.
"Puppy looking for death!" The handsome young man's face sank, and he stomped on the ground, and the whole person immediately turned into an afterimage, and a slap seemed to come from outside the sky, directly slapping Zhou Tian's face through a space of dozens of meters.
Followed by the powerful momentum oppression, compared to the oppression brought to Zhou Tian by the strong collision between the Xiaoyue Dao and the Heartless Dao Elder yesterday, under this slap, Zhou Tian felt his weakness and insignificance, and more importantly, he found that his body seemed to be imprisoned and difficult to move.
The Divine Consciousness is locked, and this young man's cultivation is definitely more than the fourth layer of Qi Gathering, because only in the middle of Qi Gathering can he cultivate his Divine Sense, which Zhou Tian knows. And judging from the fluctuations of the other party's breath, Zhou Tian could feel that this young man should be a fifth-level cultivator.
However, he naturally would not stand and wait for the other party's insult, and was about to urge his true qi to fight with all his might, at this moment, he felt that Nie Qingping's momentum around him suddenly skyrocketed, and a momentum that was not weaker than that of a handsome young man burst out from her, Nie Qingping dodged in front of Zhou Tian, and with a raised hand, an orchid-like Dao power phantom flew towards that palm shadow.
"Bang"
The orchid phantom and the palm shadow collided together, and exploded instantly, and the astonishing power fluctuations burst out, and a gust of wind blew in the courtyard, and in the bang, the blue brick floor was blown out of a small crater several inches deep and two feet in diameter.
"Yang Shaoxiu, what do you want to do, he is my younger brother, he is just a child!" Nie Qingping stared fiercely at the young man who was forced to retreat, his frosty face revealed an extremely ashamed and angry color, and tightly protected Zhou Tian behind him, like a hen guarding her calf protecting her child.
Sniffing the faint fragrance emanating from her body, looking at her delicate body trembling with anger in order to protect herself, Zhou Tian only felt that something was choking in his throat, at this time, how much he wanted to pull her behind him, not that she wanted to protect herself, but that he would protect her.
It's just that when he listened to Nie Qingping's words, it seemed that the two knew each other, and what was the relationship between the two, which made him want to know; Second, the momentum of the sudden explosion of the handsome young man and Nie Qingping just now turned out to be the cultivation of the fifth layer of qi gathering, against this person named Yang Shaoxiu, with his strength, he was not even a scumbag, unless he desperately lost his strength again and exposed the secret of the jade hairpin in his hands and sent out the sword qi, he had no chance.
At this moment, Zhou Tian once again felt his weakness, felt powerlessness in the face of powerful forces, and secretly swore in his heart that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he must become stronger, stronger, strong enough that everyone looks up to him, and have the strength to protect the people around him who he cares about, instead of watching Yuan Yuer fall off the cliff in front of him as powerlessly as last time, nor watching Sister Qingping protect herself behind her with her delicate body like this time.
Nie Qingping naturally didn't know that one of her calf protection behaviors born from her heart created a strong heart.
Yang Shaoxiu looked at Nie Qingping, who was protecting Zhou Tian like a hen, and the anger on his face turned into jealousy, but he soon calmed down, with a smile on his face that he thought was extremely gentle, and the powerful momentum on his body instantly dissipated, and he smiled brightly: "It turned out to be Brother Ling, I misunderstood, Ping'er, it's me who is wrong, don't be angry." β
"Don't call it so intimate, I haven't reached that Cheng DΓΉ with you yet, and that thing is just an intention, you are not my person yet." Nie Qingping showed her cold side in front of Zhou Tian for the first time, and did not give face to this young man named Yang Shaoxiu at all, but the momentum on her body also dissipated.
"Haha, that's that, but it's a matter of time." A wisp of gloom flashed in Yang Shaoxiu's eyes, but it was fleeting, he snorted, and then walked towards Zhou Tian, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, looking familiar: "Little brother, a misunderstanding, I'm really embarrassed......"
Zhou Tian dodged to the side, and said with a smile: "Don't bark so affectionately, I don't have the habit of being brothers with dogs." β
