"Choose?"

Shi Xiaofei didn't know why.

"I understand your adoptive father's concerns, but I also have my own insistence. Xia Fan said calmly. "So you have a choice now, do you choose to take back the Heaven Thief Duel and return to the Star Picking Tower with him, or do you continue to choose to let me take you to the Star Picking Tower?"

“...... Seniors, do you have to choose this way? Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"

When Shi Xiaofei heard this, he immediately fell into a dilemma of contradictions and entanglements.

"I'll give you a cup of tea time to make a decision. ”

Xia Fan didn't care about Shi Xiaofei's hesitation at all, and directly gave him a time limit. 、

Shi Xiaofei looked at Xia Fan, and then at Dai Xingheng, who was supporting, he opened his mouth, but finally fell into silence.

Emotionally, there is no doubt that he will choose Xia Fan.

But in this way, it is bound to cause an unpredictable conflict between Xia Fan and Xingxinglou, which is definitely not the result that Shi Xiaofei is willing to see.

As for Senior Dai, he believed that his adoptive father must have arranged for him to let him find Senior Dai, as long as he helped, maybe Shi Xiaofei would be able to fulfill his adoptive father's last wish unimpeded.

The question is what Xia Fan will think once he chooses to wear his predecessors?

Didn't he Shi Xiaofei become ungrateful?

Adoptive father's last wish, Xia Fan's kindness.

The two are constantly swaying in their hearts.

It is no wonder that Shi Xiaofei will have a hard time choosing.

"It's time for a cup of tea. ”

At this time, Xia Fan spoke.

"Shi Xiaofei, tell me your choice. ”

"Junior......" Shi Xiaofei's face showed a look of pain, as if he had made a great determination, and faced Dai Xingheng who was supporting him. "Senior Dai, I'm very sorry, junior......"

"I see. Dai Xingheng pulled Shi Xiaofei's hand away expressionlessly. "Since you'd rather trust an outsider than me, there's nothing more for me to say. ”

"Senior Dai, juniors don't disbelieve you, it's just ...... The seniors are as kind to me as a mountain, and the juniors categorically can't live up to the kindness of the seniors......"

Shi Xiaofei clenched his fists and explained with a sad expression.

"In that case, you can hand over Xingping's ashes to me, and I will bring Xingping's ashes back to the sect alone. ”

Dai Xingheng stretched out his hand towards Shi Xiaofei in an indifferent tone.

"Dai senior......"

Shi Xiaofei clutched the tie of the burden, and struggled inwardly for a long time.

He finally slowly untied the lacing.

Then he slowly handed over Cui Xingping's ashes to Dai Xingheng.

"Senior Dai, the younger generation believes in you, so please be sure to fulfill your adoptive father's last wish. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, after all, Xingping used to be my junior disciple and the favorite disciple of the family teacher. ”

Dai Xingheng took over the burden, and his attitude towards Shi Xiaofei completely became a stranger.

"Dai senior! ”

As he spoke, Shi Xiaofei took a step back, and poofed his head three times towards Dai Xingheng.

"Alas......"

Seeing this, Dai Xingheng raised his head and sighed.

"Xingping really adopted a good adopted son!"

"Senior Dai, if there is nothing else important, my senior and I will leave. ”

Shi Xiaofei got up from the ground and solemnly said goodbye to Dai Xingheng.

"Go, go, it seems that you have no chance with the Star Picking Tower. ”

Dai Xingheng waved his hand happily.

"Hey!

When Shi Xiaofei reluctantly returned to Xia Fan's side, Xia Fan stopped Dai Xingheng, who was about to leave at the same time.

Dai Xingheng reacted quickly, and subconsciously reached out to catch something thrown at him.

"Is this, the Thief?"

After seeing the object in his hand, Dai Xingheng suddenly looked at Xia Fan in disbelief.

"With this thing, I believe you should be able to use this to convince the sect to open up the net. Xia Fan said lightly. "After all, it was originally an important bargaining chip for Shi Xiaofei's intention to intercede with the Star Picking Tower. ”

Finally.

Xia Fan turned his head to Shi Xiaofeidao.

"You don't mind if you give it to him, do you?"

"Don't mind, of course you don't mind! Senior Dai has the Heaven Thief Decision in his hands, and he will definitely be more sure that Xingxinglou will agree to his adoptive father's last wish to return to his roots. Shi Xiaofei nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, then we can go with peace of mind. ”

After speaking, Xia Fan turned around and left.

And Shi Xiaofei turned back three times in one step, and he didn't turn his head back until he couldn't see Dai Xingheng anymore.

"Don't you regret making that choice?"

On the way, Xia Fan asked casually.

"The younger generation has no regrets. Shi Xiaofei, who was in a low mood, said softly. "Because this is the only best outcome that the younger generation can think of. ”

"I mean, do you really rest assured that Dai Xingheng?" Xia Fan said lightly.

"I believe in Dai seniors, otherwise my adoptive father would not have deliberately asked me to find Dai seniors. Shi Xiaofei said. This is enough to show that the adoptive father trusts Dai seniors, so the younger generation will willingly hand over the ashes of the adoptive father to Dai seniors. ”

"You know what? You've missed an important opportunity. Xia Fan shook his head and said. "In fact, even if you choose Dai Xingheng, I won't say anything, and I won't have a mustard in my heart, after all, your purpose is to fulfill your adoptive father's last wish from beginning to end, not to mention that after choosing Dai Xingheng, you are very likely to become a disciple of Xinglou in the future, which is undoubtedly the best choice for you. ”

However, the younger generation would rather give up this opportunity than live up to the kindness of the seniors. ”

Shi Xiaofei said in a low voice.

"I didn't save you wrong!"

Xia Fan suddenly laughed.

"I'll give you a nickname in the future, how about calling you the affectionate and righteous Shi Xiaofei?"

"The seniors are making fun of the juniors again. ”

Shi Xiaofei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"How's your mood now?"

Xia Fan easily walked in the forest with complex terrain, and as for the horses, they were still left in Tanjiagou, after all, climbing the mountain, taking the horses was equivalent to a burden.

"It seems that there is a big stone in my heart, and the whole person is a lot lighter. ”

Shi Xiaofei sighed.

"But I'm in a bad mood. ”

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

"Why? Is it because of the juniors who make the seniors unhappy?" Shi Xiaofei hurriedly said.

"No, it's that we've met acquaintances again. ”

Xia Fan suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and stopped Shi Xiaofei behind him.

"You guys really make it easy for the old man to find!"

In the distance, a faint and deep voice resounded throughout the mountain forest.

"Lao Tzu didn't play hide and seek with you, what are you looking for Lao Tzu?"

Xia Fan looked ahead and lazily plucked his ears.

"Heh, Your Excellency is really famous, it is better to meet!"

Gradually, three figures appeared in the distance.

A middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar, and two women wearing cloaks and veils.

"Little girl, meet again!"

Who knew that Xia Fan didn't pay attention to the middle-aged man who spoke, but instead looked at the familiar figure beside the other party.

"You really can't learn well, this time you actually learned to call your parents. ”
