Xiao Lao flashed to sit down beside me, waved a teapot and two teacups, raised his hand to gently pour the tea into the cup, and suddenly the heat rose, and a faint aroma followed, the tea fragrance was elegant, there was a smell similar to the fragrance of flowers, refreshing people's hearts, and my heart was also calm.

"What kind of tea is this?" I asked.

"This tea is called Qingyu, although the taste is not as good as the best you have drunk before, but the aroma is first-class, this tea fragrance can make people calm, like rain on a sunny day, not gloomy and reassuring."

Xiao Lao took a sip slowly, put the teacup on the table, and raised his hand to summon a ring from the void, saying that it was a ring, but in fact it was just a ring, and there was no complicated carving and decoration. The ring is silver-colored, reflecting light, without any traces of environmental erosion, and it can be seen that its owner loves it.

"This ring is a token of love from a girl to a young man." Xiao Lao lowered his head slightly, his voice was a little lonely, and he said slowly, I didn't interrupt him on the side, but just listened quietly.

"Once upon a time, there was a young man, he had a talent and strength beyond the reach of his peers, the so-called genius, amazing talent, at that time he was young and frivolous, everywhere to challenge masters, competition, but also to participate in those difficult tasks, again and again to turn the tide, almost alone to cover all the top tasks of the rich rewards."

"His strength is indeed outstanding, and there is only one person in his age who can match him, which makes young people at this age more and more proud, thinking that they have few opponents and can do anything."

"Later, the young man met a girl by chance, the girl was very beautiful, the country and the city, incomprehensible, even if it was a young man with a high vision, he could not resist falling in love, he fell in love with that girl deeply, and he couldn't extricate himself."

"The young man has great strength, is dashing, and the girl is talented and good-looking, and the two quickly came together. They are all young and handsome, and they are both manipulators, and their feelings for each other quickly warmed up, and soon reached the point of talking about marriage. ”

"One fine night, the two drank wine under the moon and talked to each other, the young man took out a ring, and the girl also brought a ring, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and the marriage was decided."

"Many people came to the wedding scene to bless them, their wedding was very grand, and in the wedding bell, they made a vow of eternal love."

"The married life of the two was very happy at the beginning, but the strength of the young man is getting stronger and stronger, and the responsibility he has to bear is getting bigger and bigger, and he is busy running around every day, and the girl is the same."

"Although the two people love each other, they can't see each other often, and it is very difficult to even say a few words when they are busiest, and the young man does not notice this, but only takes care of himself to complete the tasks of the alliance."

Speaking of this, Xiao Lao seemed to be a little unable to speak, picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly, and took three sips, before continuing: "The future is changeable, even young people who have mastered the ability of time, they can't see the mountains in their distance. Terrifying monsters came from the void, the stars dimmed, the city collapsed, and the smell of blood permeated everywhere, even so. ”

"At that time, the young man was no longer young, but his strength had reached the peak, and he was helpless in the face of such a disaster, and even lost his most beloved person."

At this point, the story is over, and the night is long

Silently, he didn't even pick up the teacup again, just sat quietly like that. I already know who the protagonist of the story is, and I haven't heard of anyone else who can control the power of time in today's world, let alone someone with that power.

I didn't expect there to be such a past, when I talked about the calamity of the alliance before, I felt that Xiao Lao's mood seemed to be a little wrong, and this kind of thing happened.

After a long time, Xiao Lao picked up the tea, and drank it all in one go, regardless of the fact that the tea was cold.

"It's indeed right to like someone and care about her, but don't be like that young man, in the end, he didn't even have a chance to be with him, and the two were separated forever. The controller itself is a dangerous profession, and no matter how simple the task, there is a chance that accidents will never return. ”

After saying that, Xiao Lao got up and walked into the distance, "Don't leave yourself with regrets." ”

"Where are you going?" I asked out loud.

"What, worried about me?" Xiao Lao paused for a moment, asked, and then smiled, "It's just to go to the yo-yo corner, people always like to take a walk when they are old." With that, it gradually disappeared from my vision.

Looking at Xiao Lao's back, I couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness, even if he is a strong man, there are things that can't be protected. He's right, controllers are inherently dangerous, and they don't necessarily lose their lives one day, regardless of strength, and this is true for everyone.

So in the face of the person in front of you, you should cherish and cherish the time with her. Thinking of this, I was no longer confused, I walked into the wooden house, came to Cher's bed and sat down gently, looking at her beautiful sleeping face, even though I would come to see her every day, I still felt that I couldn't see enough.

I reached out and stroked her cheek with pity, and said softly: "Xue'er, I have gathered three bottles of potion, I won't be confused anymore, even if I don't have enough strength to protect you now, I still have to wake you up, because I really miss you so much, and I'm afraid that one day I will never see you, and when the rewards of the alliance are in hand, I will wake you up immediately, I miss you so much." ”

I smiled slightly, touched Cher's soft hair, and sat beside her like this, starting today's condensation.

……

"Miss." The butler stood in front of the door and bowed deeply to the visitor. This is the Governor's Mansion, compared to the previous Governor's Mansion in the City of Truth, both the area and the size of the building have been reduced a lot, not because of insufficient resources and manpower, but at this time, the owner here does not have so much leisure to buy his own house, but focuses more on the size of the alliance.

"Take me to the chief." Ning Xinyan said.

"Yes, please." The housekeeper saluted again, then led the way in front of the head, and took Ning Xinyan all the way to the second floor.

Looking at the rather simple decoration in the mansion and some sundries placed in the corner, Ning Xinyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although the man was unqualified as a father, as the chief of the alliance, he was dutiful.

Ning Xinyan came to the Governor's Mansion today not to come back to reunite with her father, and in her heart, she may never be able to forgive her father who has been indifferent to her for more than ten years. She came back for another reason.

"Chief, the eldest lady is back." The butler said respectfully, and then turned around and retired.

"Come in." Ning Qingyu was sitting in the study, was

Reading books under the light, there are some ancient books in his study, some of which are even extraterrestrial ancient classics, which are difficult for ordinary people

This undoubtedly did not surprise Ning Xinyan, but what surprised her was not that Ning Qingyu was able to read those obscure and esoteric books, and even the words and languages were different, but that Ning Qingyu, who had always been busy, was surprised that he could have time to read.

"What's the matter?" Ning Qingyu asked without raising his head.

Looking at Ning Qingyu in front of her, the man who was once called her father, Ning Xinyan opened her mouth, but she couldn't say it, because she really didn't want to rely on him for anything, if it wasn't necessary, she didn't even want to see him.

Ning Xinyan didn't speak, and Ning Qingyu wasn't in a hurry, just quietly reading the book in his hand.

Ning Xinyan's heart was entangled, and a full minute passed, but she still clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, and said, "Teach me skills." ”

The simple four words are the purpose of Ning Xinyan's return this time. The previous experience made her reflect for a long time, although Chen Mochen and Gao Han told her that she had done well enough, and she had done her due diligence as a team leader, but she had never been able to balance it in her heart.

As the leader of the team, and the second strongest controller after Chen Mojian, in that case, he couldn't give full play to his strength, how could this sense of powerlessness be erased from the bottom of Ning Xinyan's heart with a few words of comfort from others?

Although it is true that one's "reason" is not suitable for indoor combat, and a slight carelessness will lead to irreversible consequences, it does not mean that one's "principle of explosive flames" is really unable to fight indoors, and the reason why it cannot be is because of one's insufficient ability to control the principle of explosive flames. These skills are not something that you can learn alone, you need a teacher, a teacher who can give you skills, and in this world, the only person who is suitable to be your own teacher is the man in front of you who is related to you by blood, but has always treated herself coldly, the head of the alliance, the third Ning Qingyu of the Nine Stars.

"Why?" Ning Qingyu still didn't look at it, and asked lightly.

"I want to be strong." It's four words again, but this is Ning Xinyan's true thoughts in his heart. She wants to become stronger, and only by becoming strong can she have the ability to protect the people around her; Only when you become stronger can you be qualified to be the captain of the squad; Only by becoming stronger can one day stand in front of this man and slap him in the face.

Ning Qingyu didn't answer, Ning Xinyan didn't continue to speak, the two of them just sat and stood together, and there was no sound in the air for several minutes.

Suddenly, Ning Qingyu put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked past Ning Xinyan with a step.

"Follow me." In just three words, it seemed that saying such a few words between them was already the limit, Ning Xinyan didn't say anything, just quickly followed him, and the figures of the two quickly disappeared into the corridor.

……

After sitting up from the bed and feeding Cher something, I walked out of the hut, where Xiao Lao had returned, and in his hand he was holding a strange long sword.

The grip of the sword is silver, as is the gauntlet, which is carved with intricate inscriptions that look somewhat similar to the barrel of a Halvins spear. The blade of the sword is transparent throughout, showing a crystal blue, and if you look closely, it seems that there are nine stars hidden in the blade, which has a moving beauty.
