Chapter 20
Nothing in the world can escape birth, old age, sickness and death, everything must have an end, but only time is eternal. Unconsciously, the flowers bloom and fall, even if it is eight years, it is only in a blink of an eye.
Eight years is enough for a person to move from immaturity to maturity and for a person to grow.
In the blink of an eye, Yue Ming's thirteenth birthday is coming, and the whole country is celebrating this important day from top to bottom in the demon world. Preparations for the evening banquet begin early in the morning.
The thirteen-year-old Yue Ming has already matured a lot, and his eyes are no longer as young as he was a child. His dark eyes, straight nose, and thin lips make him look more and more handsome. His eyes seemed to be full of smiles all the time, but in the blink of an eye, they made people feel a little detached.
"Alas, I've been practicing so hard early in the morning, and this diligence is really compared to me, the demon king." Yue Ming smiled and walked towards the young man who was practicing beside the magic tower.
After hearing Yue Ming's words, the young man collected the potential between his fingers, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Today is your birthday, you are not busy arranging the banquet in the evening, but you have time to come here." ”
"Don't these things look the same every year? It's nothing more than that everyone should be together at night, greet them politely, and then take the opportunity to set up relationships and consolidate their power. They don't have to arrange it for me, and they know how to do it. Yue Ming replied with a smile, "However, this is not only my birthday, you are also a birthday star, aren't you?" You've already sweated a lot for spells on weekdays, so why don't you take a break today? ”
Since he was five years old, Yue Ming was under the night sky and promised An Lengyao that from now on, they would be brothers and give him the same birthday as himself, and An Lengyao would spend every birthday with him after that.
In the past few years, Yue Ming has watched An Lengyao have been working hard to make himself strong, practicing spells day and night. He understood that everything An Lengyao did was to one day avenge his father. But it's a pity that no one knows about An Tiankuo's past, let alone the cause of his death. The more he meditated to share the burden for him, but he didn't know what could help him. It's just that when he saw An Lengyao taking everything alone, he didn't feel a little uncomfortable.
"Elder Ye taught me the 'Doppelganger Technique' yesterday, and I haven't done very well, so I want to practice more." An Lengyao wiped the sweat from his face. As he grew up, his temperament became much colder than before. Even though the Demon Queen Yin Qianluo had announced many years ago that he could concentrate on practicing spells in the Demon Realm and not have to do anything else, he understood that here, he was still a humble existence. Ever since he followed Ye Qian to learn spells, someone saw An Lengyao, although they still looked down on him in their hearts, and they couldn't figure out why Ye Qian chose such a child who had no noble status to teach martial arts, but because of Ye Qian's highly respected status in the Demon Realm, he didn't dare to say anything. So when others saw An Lengyao, although they were still dissatisfied with him, they didn't dare to say anything.
Yue Ming pursed his lips and pretended to be angry and said: "Elder Ye is also too ruthless, he is so strict with you on weekdays, you have a birthday, he doesn't look at this situation and gives you a few days off, but teaches you such a complex spell, doesn't he want to toss you?" ”
An Lengyao covered her lips and chuckled: "Don't let Elder Ye hear this." However, he did it for my own good. It seems that only in front of Yue Ming can he shed his usual cold and silent coat and become a little cunning.
"It's too late, I've heard it." A low and majestic voice came, "Yue Ming, if you don't study well yourself, you still have to take Xiao Yao to join you in the same stream." ”
Yue Ming and An Lengyao turned their heads to look, only to see a gray-haired old man walking towards them. Although his tone was still as serious as usual, a closer look revealed a smile between his eyebrows.
"Ah, Elder Ye, no wonder I'm saying this." Yue Ming walked over and supported Ye Qian's right shoulder, "I just see that Yao is very weekdays, so I want him to take a little rest today." In previous years, he never had a good rest on his birthday, so today I want to ask you for a small favor, let him take a day off, okay? ”
An Lengyao saw Ye Qian walking in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Elder Ye, he has a kind intention to intercede for me, don't blame you." It's okay, I don't have to rest, I can continue to practice. ”
Ye Qian stared at the young man in front of him, since eight years ago, he promised him that if he could return safely with Lingzhi, he would personally teach him spells, in the past eight years, An Lengyao has never disappointed Ye Qian. No matter what the conditions are, no matter how difficult the spell training, this teenager can stick to it without saying a word. Coupled with his extraordinary talent, in the past few years, his spells have also been growing, and he is already a rare master in the demon world. Not to mention his peers, even many adults, are not his opponents.
"Who said I was going to blame him?" Ye Qian smiled, "What Yue Ming said also makes some sense. Over the years, you've been practicing every day and haven't relaxed for a moment. Today, I'm going to give you a little vacation. ”
Yue Ming was even happier than An Lengyao, and he couldn't help but cheer: "Great, Elder Ye, you are really a good person." ”
Although An Lengyao was happy that he could relax, he still had worries in his heart, he felt that he should not stop for a moment until he became a truly powerful person.
Ye Qian has taught An Lengyao for so many years, and he knows this young man's mind and personality well. So, he spoke: "Xiao Yao, it is good to work hard, but you must also be measured, and take a little rest when you should relax, which will be good for you." ”
"Well, I see." An Lengyao has always listened to Ye Qian's words.
"Okay, since Elder Ye has said so, don't work hard for you, the birthday star." Yue Ming said.
Seeing this, Ye Qian smiled and said, "Then you talk first, I still have something to find the Demon Queen." ”
So, he said goodbye to the two teenagers and walked towards the main hall of the sound of a thousand falls. When he entered the main hall, he found her directing the attendants to decorate the room to celebrate Yue Ming's birthday.
Yin Qianluo saw Ye Qian and greeted him. She saw Ye Qian gesture with his eyes, and then understood what he meant, and ordered the people around her to retreat, and the surroundings became silent.
"Elder Ye, is there something wrong?" Yin Qianluo asked.
Ye Qian nodded: "I received news from Nuochen this morning, telling me that he is coming back. ”
Yin Qianluo's face changed, and he spoke: "At the beginning, An Tiankuo's incident made him depressed and determined to leave this land, why is he suddenly coming back now?" ”
Ye Qian couldn't help but sigh: "No matter how resolute he is, but the Demon Realm is where he grew up." Hometown is always a person's lifelong concern, he has been away for almost ten years, and all his emotions have been smoothed out by time, and now he wants to return here, which is naturally reasonable. ”
When Yin Qianluo heard this, there was silence for a while. She has always been a little unpredictable about that person. At the beginning, An Tiankuo was also because Ye Qian vouched for that person, so she didn't even get rid of that person. Moreover, the man had already decided to leave the Demon Realm, so she let him go. But now, he's coming back.
"Demon Queen, so many years have passed, and you still can't rest assured about Nuochen?" Ye Qian asked.
Yin Qianluo frowned and replied, "Elder Ye, I naturally understand how important you are to Jun Nuochen. In addition to An Lengyao, who you have been teaching all these years, you have also cultivated Jun Nuochen since childhood. Jun Nuochen, this kid has a gentle temperament since he was a child, and his spells are strong, so there will be nothing wrong with the person you fancie. But when I thought that he was related to An Tiankuo in the first place, I felt uneasy. ”
"The Demon Queen, Nuochen became friends with An Tiankuo that day, just out of kindness. He didn't think that An Tiankuo had such great ambitions, and afterwards he was sad that he didn't find out early to persuade An Tiankuo to go back to the right path, so he was depressed for a long time and decided to leave here. Ye Lian explained.
Yin Qianluo has always trusted Ye Qian and respected him. Of course, she believed that Ye Qian's vision would not be wrong, and he would not look at the wrong person. Jun Nuochen has always cared about Ye Qian, she is not ignorant. Seeing that he was protecting Jun Nuochen like this, she had to temporarily let go of the doubts in her heart.
"Elder Ye, you have said so, I believe that Nuochen is." She replied with a smile.
"Then I'll thank the Demon Queen for your understanding." Ye Qian suddenly sighed, "Unconsciously, so many years have passed. I still remember the day when Nuochen was determined to leave. At that time, Yue Ming was only about three years old, and now he is already a teenager. ”
Yin Qianluo also empathizes. Today is Yue Ming's thirteenth birthday, and she still remembers that Yue Ming was still a baby, held in her arms, and now, everything has changed. In fact, in recent years, she clearly feels that she is getting older. Although with her cultivation and mana, she can always have a youthful face and a permanent lifespan. But a person's heart is the most authentic thing, and it is not affected by other things. She watched her child grow up little by little, and from his body, she witnessed the passage of her years.
"Yes, for so many years, thanks to your care for my son Yue Ming, everything has changed for the better." Yin Qianluo said gratefully.
"It's a big deal for the Demon Queen to say that." Ye Qian waved his hand, "Yue Ming looks cynical on weekdays, but I know his efforts, otherwise he would never have done what he did today." Now, although he is only thirteen years old, he already has a faint kingly style in his gestures. What he said is not false, over the years, Yue Ming's efforts have not even lost An Lengyao's day and night efforts.
"Alas, I hope he has the means of his father Yue Xuan, but I don't want him to have Yue Xuan's feelings." Yin Qianluo whispered.
"There's nothing wrong with valuing friends. It was not entirely to blame Yue Xuan for what happened like that back then. An Tiankuo embarked on the road of no return because there was no one around him to teach, but An Lengyao was different. He's been with me for so many years, and I'll tell him the difference between right and wrong. Ye Qian said, "Besides, this kid is really hardworking, and the degree of hard work is even no less than Nuochen." If he is cultivated well, it will not be a blessing in the demon world. ”
Yin Qianluo was stunned, in the past eight years, An Lengyao's performance has not been unnoticed by her. In terms of personality, although he is silent, he is calm and old. In terms of cultivation, he is even more rare. Compared to Lin Chumo beside Yue Ming, I don't know how much better. She has read countless people, not because she doesn't know Lin Chumo's arrogant temperament on weekdays, and she is the only one. But Lin Chumo's status is noble, and he has a lot of elite soldiers and financial resources left by his parents. If Lin Chumo is used well, everything in his family will naturally be sent by her.
But An Lengyao, every time she looked at him, she thought she was looking at a hidden danger left behind. She would always unconsciously think of the past through him, even if Ye Qian was there, it really couldn't make her completely at ease.
She was only afraid that one day, this An Lengyao would be Yue Ming's biggest enemy......
