Chapter 12: Persuasion

"Uncle, listen! What is this old man talking nonsense? I was not ordinary from birth. I haven't done anything in the past 18 years, just to tell everyone how ordinary I am. Fu Shaotian gently put Chen Yanran flat on the ground and stood up to theorize.

"What he said is true, you could have lived an ordinary life, but now that such a variable happens, you have your mission. Qinglong was on the dean's side.

"Uncle, what do you mean? You're going to make me fight with those translucent ghosts every day, just like I do today. I'm going to go to college with Chen Yanran, okay? I am a scholar! An intellectual! I hold a pen, but I can't carry a gun!"

Fu Shaotian thought about everything he saw tonight, and the son of the tree was also sacrificed because of this, and he had a hundred unwillingness in his heart. And he knows that Chen Yanran is going to be brainwashed and return to ordinary life, but he won't. This means that in the future, he and Chen Yanran will be people of two worlds. Maybe they won't meet again in the future, and even if they meet again, there will be a secret between them, and the existence of this secret will cause misunderstanding between them, and they will never go back to the past. His ordinary life began to be painted with brilliance because of Chen Yanran's appearance, and he was separated from this girl who brought him color and light to her, and he said that he was unwilling to say anything.

"Child, are you scared?" asked the dean.

"Of course I'm afraid! Look at the people lying on the ground, how many of them are still alive!? I've seen a dead person for the first time when I've grown up!Can I not be afraid!?" Fu Shaotian asked rhetorically.

"Of course you can be afraid, but you are not afraid that one day it will be the most important person to you who will lie on the ground. If lying on the ground, it will not get up again is the girl who has not woken up yet, the old man next to you. Are you afraid?"

Fu Shaotian was speechless for a moment to reply, and he fell into deep thought. Chen Yanran hasn't woken up yet, she has just been pulled back from the abyss of death by the son of the tree. Uncle had just experienced a vicious fight. If it was the two of them who had an accident, what would happen to them? If something happened to the two of them because of their cowardice, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

"I chose to fight because I wanted to protect the important people in my heart and the important beliefs. Everything that deserves to be protected is a reason for us to fight. Maybe you'll leave them, but for yourself, it's much better than if they left you. The dean saw that Fu Shaotian was very conflicted in his heart, and continued to counsel. "I used to have a wife, and when I watched her disappear from this world, I chose to destroy the thing that destroyed her. But what if it's destroyed? Your most important person is gone. Even if you crush the enemy's bones and scatter ashes, you can't get back what you want to recoup. So, go and destroy your enemy before he destroys what is most dear to you. In this way, the people you love will not be harmed, and the people you want to protect can be protected in the best. ”

"My mission by your side is to protect you and awaken you when this fate comes, before you are awake. The power of the dragon sleeps in your body, and for now, only the power of the dragon can compete with them. The current technology is not enough to fight them. Qinglong also hopes that Fu Shaotian can join the war that is about to begin, the war between humans and spiritual bodies. After all, only with his joining, this war has a chance of winning.

Fu Shaotian looked down at the sleeping Chen Yanran, the figure when she had just pushed herself away, the appearance of the tree son when he crawled with difficulty, the embarrassment of the green dragon dying in the big pit in the North Pole, and the picture of the final duel between the dragon and the hideous kept flashing in his mind. His head was very messy, and he wanted to be with Chen Yanran all the time, but he knew that maybe they really needed him.

"You want to stay with this girl all the time, and you don't want to be separated from her, right?" The dean has lived for so many years and has long lived as a human being, and he has long seen what this kind of adolescent child thinks.

"No... Fu Shaotian was told by the dean, his face turned red, and he turned his face to the side, no longer daring to look at the dean and Chen Yanran. "Honestly, old man. I'm just a student, an ordinary high school student, and you suddenly told me that there is an incredible power sleeping in my body, and I'm going to save the world! I'm not a secondary patient in Japanese comics, but I want to save the world, it's my mission! ”

"Believe it or not, you do have the power to save the world. Even if you don't want to save the world, you just want to be an ordinary person. Will your enemies make your life so easy? Your presence is the greatest threat. No one wants to perpetuate their threat. If you don't look for it, it will come to you, and when it finds you, where are you, what are you doing? You're by this girl's side! Can you protect her? You're good for nothing, you're a real weakling! You can't protect her! You're around her, you're putting her in danger! Is this what love is?"

The dean said excitedly, and every word pierced deeply into Fu Shaotian's heart. He didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to see Chen Yanran every day and have her by his side every day. He didn't realize that if he continued to be by her side, he could put her in danger again. Thinking about tonight, if it weren't for the son of the tree sacrificing himself, Chen Yanran would never have woken up again. He said that he didn't want Chen Yanran to experience such danger again. The experience of being pushed away by her, this time, is enough.

Fu Shaotian took a deep breath, he was giving himself the courage to make a final decision. "Is this just chasing ducks to the shelves?"

That's pretty much what it means. ”

"Alas... Who made me a duck? That's all there is to it, I join you. But I have one condition. Fu Shaoting was still worried about Chen Yanran in his heart.

"What conditions?" asked the dean.

"We must always arrange people to secretly protect Chen Yanran until the end of this war. Fu Shao looked at Chen Yanran who was lying on the ground.

"No problem, I'll send someone to protect her. Is this okay?" the dean felt a lot more relieved when he finally agreed.

"Okay, no problem. Fu Shao's face was like ashes, and he looked like he was resigned to his fate.

"Good, welcome!" the dean had already begun the welcoming ceremony.

"Wait, why join you? This is our war. Qinglong was reluctant, so why did he join them with Fu Shaotian as he spoke.

"Yes, you should be the strongest in this war. But I think it seems to have been said in the ancient chapters that a large number of soldiers also joined the battle in the North Pole? You were there at the time, you should know better than me, right? And it's not what it used to be, is it true that our science and technology can't compete with the spirit body a little bit? I'm afraid you don't know much about us. "The dean was like a mercenary at this time, and he wanted to dig up as much benefit as he could.

"This... It will take Shao Tilt as a leader to join you. Qinglong thought for a moment and then made a concession.

"Do you think this half-pushed, half-hearted kid who was willing to join with great difficulty can lead an army?" asked the dean.

...

...

Qinglong is stopped. . . He blamed himself a little for what he had taught!

"The final decision will not be made until I get to know your organization. Until then, let Shao Tilt join you for the time being. Qinglong said in an irrefutable tone.

"Okay, okay, I'm sure you'll say yes when you're clear about our organization. The dean was secretly happy when he saw this.

"What do you mean? Are you two elders negotiating? It sounds like the bargaining chips are me? Can you ask for my duck's opinion first?" Fu Shaotian made a faint protest. However, the two men did not respond, and it seems that the protests were ineffective.

"Hmm... It hurts... Where am I?" Fu Shaotian heard a familiar voice from the ground.
