Text Act I: The Spread of the Heart Fire_Chapter 12: The Great Sage
The hazy moon still hung in the sky, the mist drifted through the bamboo forest in the middle of the night, and the bamboo houses on the giant trees lit up softly. The dragon wore a loose black robe, revealing his chest, his long black hair scattered on the floor, he held a teacup in his hand, and his golden demon eyes stared at the three people in front of him.
Shangguan Yuanjian was in tatters, carrying a wind-cutting sword on his back, holding his hands in front of his chest, still his clothes were indifferent to everything.
Dongfang Ziyan's appearance was even more embarrassed than Yuan Ji, but Ziyan's face did not have a trace of violence, his expression was as plain as water, and he did not frown even if he was covered in injuries.
The girl hid behind Zi Yan, looking at the dragon with a timid expression, and grabbed Zi Yan's clothes from behind with both hands.
"In other words, under the cover of Dongfang Lie's clone, you were lucky enough to escape from the city of Duoxi?" The dragon gently lowered the teacup.
"The chief of the guard of Duoduo West City is a master, and Brother Lie's clone also blew himself up to cover our escape." Yuan Ji said.
The dragon looked at the girl and said, "Little girl, come here, I'll treat you first." ”
The girl looked at Ziyan with wide eyes, grabbed him and didn't want to let go, Ziyan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, this is my teacher, a trustworthy person, not a bad person." With that, he pushed the girl forward, and the girl, though still a little timid, walked towards the dragon.
The girl is one year younger than Ziyan Yuanji, only ten years old, the dragon just sits on the floor and is as tall as the girl, the girl is covered with scattered crimson long hair, her face is full of ash, and she is in tatters, the dragon is holding her shoulders, the dark red light of her hands is entering the girl's body, the dragon looked at her eyes, and whispered: "So that's the case, you were raised by your grandmother since you were a child, and when you were eight years old, you were plundered by slave traders in Aslan, and your grandmother was not at home that day, and I haven't seen my grandmother until now..."
The girl, Ziyan and Yuan Ji were all shocked, "It's a tragic fate, no... Teacher, you really can still read minds!! Ziyan pointed at the dragon and shouted.
"Isn't that obvious?" Shangguan Yuan's illness support.
The girl felt the wounds on her body gradually healing, and asked in surprise, "Who are you... What kind of person, and Ziyan who saved my life... Could it be that my grandmother secretly blessed me to escape from the slave traders? The girl fell to her knees crying suddenly, and she cried loudly, "I'm just a slave, why are you... Why do you want to work so hard for me!! ”
"Hey! Why are you starting to cry again. Yuan Ji grinned.
Ziyan clenched his fists, unable to speak.
"Girl, since you can escape today and come here, you will be one of us, and I will accept you as my student." The dragon patted her on the back, "By the way, do you have a name?" ”
"I only remember that grandma called me Li'er." The girl looked up at the dragon.
"Li'er......" the dragon muttered all his thoughts.
"Since the teacher has taken you in, let the teacher give you a new name." Ziyan said with a smile.
"I'm not good at naming people, Ziyan, haven't you read a lot of books since you were a child, you must know more than me, and you saved people, of course you have to start with it." The dragon smiled faintly.
"That's right, Ziyan, what the teacher said, it's better for you to come up with a name." Shangguan Yuanji said.
Dongfang Ziyan lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Let's call it Yan Wei, Huan Yan, Rose Wei, how about it?" ”
"Yan Wei, Huan Yan Ruwei, good name." The dragon exclaimed.
"Then, Yan Wei, she will be our junior sister in the future, please advise more!" Dongfang Ziyan and Shangguan Yuanji stretched out their hands to her. The slave girl who just escaped, no, it should be Yan Wei, finally saw her smile, and really smiled like a flower, not moving, but very beautiful.
Soon, under the arrangement of the dragon, the three children slept on the floor side by side, Yan Wei was weak, and she fell asleep immediately after the dragon covered her with a quilt. After a while, there was no sound in the bamboo house. Gradually, the rustling of rain came from the roof.
In the middle of the night, a very soft footstep sounded on the floor, and the dragon immediately opened his eyes, and he knew that someone had walked to the porch at the door, and although there was the sound of rain, it could not escape the dragon's ears. The dragon put on his black shawl and slowly walked to the door, even in the dark of the night, he could still see Shi Ziyan sitting on the corridor under the eaves, so he walked over.
Ziyan sat on the floor, holding his legs with his hands, as if in a daze.
"Ziyan, what are you thinking about not sleeping." The dragon sat beside him.
"Oh, it's the teacher." Dongfang Ziyan glanced at the dragon, then turned his head again, "I can't sleep, I want to come out and sit, can't you sleep, teacher?" ”
The dragon was silent for a while before he spoke, "Ahhh yes, I can't sleep either. ”
"When I escaped from the city of Duoduo, my brother talked to me, and I was finally relieved about the affairs of the family." Dongfang Ziyan smiled reassuringly, "But... I guess you told my father I was here. ”
The dragon didn't say anything, just smiled.
"Although I haven't had much contact with my father since I was a child, I have curiosity for children, even if I hated my father so much at the time..." Dongfang Ziyan smiled lightly, "I have read a lot of reports about my father, and I know that my father Dongfang Xiao is the same brother as my mother Su Weini and Uncle Shangguan Feihu, and their teacher is called Aurora. Right? ”
"I read the newspaper many years ago in Uncle Wang's shop, which reported that there were six original surnames, and now there are only four left, those two are the Sereent family and the Mikloros family, the teacher is the last person of the Sereent family, and no one in the Mikoloros family survives, and the name of my father and their teacher is the same as the last head of the Miklos family, although I can't find any reports about this, but I guess... He is the legendary Mikoloros family leader, the Grand Master of the Slayer Alliance, and the Aurora Mikoloros, known as the 'Human Emperor', right? ”
The rain was gusting, and the dragon didn't speak, but a gust of wind blew and lifted the foreheads of the two, and a smile gradually appeared on the dragon's face, but he still didn't speak.
"Teacher, since you have accepted me as a student, you don't have to hide it from me." Dongfang Ziyan said with a smile.
Long suddenly laughed, he patted Ziyan on the shoulder, "I didn't expect you to even know about the Slayer Alliance, and you really deserve to be the son of your senior sister." ”
"Senior sister?!" Dongfang Ziyan's eyes widened, "Is it really the same as I guessed?" ”
"That's right, as you guessed, your parents and Yuan Ji's father are all students of the old man Aurora, but I'm the last to come, the next student." The dragon said with a smile.
