About 30 kilometers southeast of the city of Santin, there is a large naturally formed forest, the forest is full of green all year round, and the four seasons are everyspring, and there are glaciers.

About a hundred years ago, a wandering spiritual practitioner was attracted to this place by accident, and since then, the wandering spiritual practitioner has been living here for ten years.

Ten years later, the spiritual practitioner saw the light of day again, but surprisingly, his face was not only not older, but much younger than when he had gone ten years.

Since then, the forest has been named "Evergreen!" by people of insight.

It means, stay young forever!

However, it is also strange to say that in the more than 100 years since that wandering spiritual cultivator, there have been many people who have come in and out of this place, and there are not a few people who have settled in it for ten years, twenty years, or even fifty years.

But they are all waiting for life, old age, sickness and death for decades, and for a hundred years, no one has been able to regain their youth.

Perhaps the story of that wandering spiritual practitioner a hundred years ago has some traces of fiction, but I have to say that this forest called "Evergreen" is indeed full of greenery.

In fact, about this forest, it is recommended by Jian Fifteen.

Maybe it was because the few people who saw Tianxing were not in particularly good shape recently, so Chen Zhan had the idea of coming out to relax after returning from the game that day.

Later, after learning of Chen Zhan's intentions, Jian Fifteen immediately recommended the place "Evergreen" to Chen Zhan.

Chen Zhan now remembers how depressed the state of the group was after returning from watching the game that day.

After returning to Gu Fengzhai that day, Long Haotian and the three of them almost didn't say a word, and returned to their rooms.

You don't have to think much about it to know that a few of them are definitely stimulated by something.

Halfway through, Chen Zhan wanted to go to see the three of them several times, but every time Chen Zhan knocked on the door, the three of them were like discussing in advance, and no one opened them.

In this way, the three of them locked themselves in the room for a whole day and a night, and during this day, Long Haotian and the three of them did not eat food or drink water.

It wasn't until the next morning that Chen Zhan saw Long Haotian coming back from outside.

As for where Long Haotian went the night before, only Long Haotian knew it.

However, it is worth mentioning that in the afternoon of the same day, Yun Jiaoyan suddenly came to Gufengzhai.

But there is nothing strange about it, Yun Jiaoyan had some things at home a few days ago, so he only left for a few days, and now, the family affairs are also busy, so he naturally returns to the team.

Seeing that there was a new person coming, Jian Fifteen knew that she was also a member of the Tianxing clan because he had also seen Yun Jiaoyan in the competition before, so he didn't ask too much, but just arranged for Jian Seventeen to help tidy up the room.

Yun Jiaoyan went to see Long Haotian as soon as he came back.

But even though it was her, after knocking on the door of Long Haotian a few times, Long Haotian still ignored her.

Of course, Yun Jiaoyan will not be bored with herself, so she can only go back to her room first. Then wait for Long Haotian to come out.

Since that day in the Fighting Soul Stage, Long Haotian sacrificed himself to block the blow of the two brothers of the Wang family for himself, Yun Jiaoyan's heart was deeply shocked and touched.

Although she is not very old, in her heart, Long Haotian's weight is getting heavier and heavier, and Yun Jiaoyan knows very well what this feeling is, and what it means at the same time.

However, Yun Jiaoyan did not take the initiative to break it, because she also understood another point in her heart, that is, her identity.

First of all, Long Haotian is just a poor boy, and compared to him, he is simply a lot stronger, like this kind of person who is not in the right household, it is absolutely impossible for the family to agree;

Secondly, and most importantly, that is the origin of Yun Jiaoyan, Yun Jiaoyan knows that with his father's current thoughts, then in the future, he is likely to stand on the opposite side of these friends in front of him.

So for this reason, no matter how many thoughts Yun Jiaoyan has in her heart, she can only hold it in her heart and take it as her own little secret.

In fact, it is not only Yun Jiaoyan who has this kind of thought, but even Long Haotian himself, I can only hide the love for Yun Jiaoyan in my heart, because he knows very well that Yun Jiaoyan and himself are not people of the same world at all, whether it is identity or status, Long Haotian is too humble.

After going back that day, Long Haotian directly locked himself in the room, because he had already watched the game of the Golden Armor Sect, and there was only one month left for them to prepare for the next game of Tianxing.

And this also means that in this month or so, as the captain, he must work hard to improve his personal strength, because only in this way may they have more chances of winning.

Every time he thought of the terrifying strength of the Golden Armor Sect, the pressure on Long Haotian's shoulders would increase a little.

He has even lost the most basic judgment for this, and now in this state, he only knows how to become stronger, and he doesn't even think about how to become stronger.

Long Haotian was confused, so that night, after everyone had fallen asleep, he planned to sneak out alone and relax.

But as soon as Long Hao stepped out of Gu Fengzhai's gate, he saw Jian Fifteen, who was sitting next to the gate and didn't know what he was doing.

Originally, Long Haotian was planning to sneak out, but now he was actually bumped into, and he was also the owner of Gu Fengzhai, Long Haotian at this moment was simply embarrassed to death.

Maybe it was because he felt Long Haotian's embarrassment, and when he saw the sneaky Long Haotian, Jian Fifteen just nodded very casually and said, "It's not too early, come back early." ”

The fifteenth sword was all down the steps of Long Haotian, and the empty dragon Haotian naturally nodded, and continued to walk quietly towards the outside of the city as if nothing had happened just now.

In fact, it is strange to say that this grove outside the city has a very special fate with Long Haotian.

Long Haotian met Chen Hao here, and similarly, it was here that Long Haotian met the first girl who made his heart flutter - Yun Jiaoyan!

Moreover, every time Long Haotian has something to worry about, he will always come here to relax, and then calm his heart, by the way, find another place where there is no one, and talk to this forest about his heart.

Unconsciously, this grove has gradually become her mentor and friend in Long Haotian's heart.

Of course, this time it was the same, after turning out of the city gate, Long Haotian walked directly towards a certain place in the grove.

However, it is worth mentioning that since this is not the first time that Long Haotian has gone out late at night, several soldiers guarding the city are familiar with Long Haotian, so after the few soldiers guarding the city saw Long Haotian, they didn't mean much, they just nodded, and the two sides looked at each other without saying anything.

At this time, in the night sky, a bright moon hangs in the center, and around the bright moon, there are several stars dotted with it.

Long Haotian had also reached his destination at this time, which was a very hidden place on the outside of the grove.

It is densely wooded, but strange enough, in the middle of these dense trees, there is a boulder in the shape of an oval.

However, for Long Haotian, this boulder is like a natural stone slab at the same time, and when he has nothing to do, he can lie on it and take a nap and sleep well.

The difference between nature and the city is that nature at night is so quiet that if you listen carefully, you can even hear the sound of your heart beating.

After lying on the boulder, Long Haotian crossed his hands on the back of his head, then put his left leg on top of his right leg, and then raised his head to look at the starry sky.

"Naturally, naturally, if you are really spiritual, tell me what I must do to become stronger. Long Haotian looked at the starry sky and said slowly.

But naturally Long Haotian didn't pay any attention, if he really wanted to say anything, it was only the intermittent sound of birds.

In the silent night, a bright moonlight hit Long Haotian's body straight like this.

Long Haotian slowly closed his eyes and began to count his heartbeat.

"Plop... Thump... Plop..."

"Suddenly... Ten times... Fifteen times... Twenty-five times... Sixty strokes..."

The sound of the heartbeat continued, but after counting, Long Haotian found that he couldn't count it anymore.

Although the forest is so quiet, Long Haotian's heart, no matter what, just can't be quiet.

"Mother, if you're still around, you should be able to tell me what the hell am I going to do?"

I don't know why, whenever Long Haotian is preoccupied, the kind smile of his mother Nangong Jing can always inadvertently appear in Long Haotian's mind.

No matter how quiet the night is, the young man's heart can't be calm for a long time.

It was at this time that Long Haotian slowly closed his eyes, and he began to carefully recall these bits and pieces that had happened to him since his mother left.

From meeting Huoyun Ancestor in the dungeon, to befriending Chen Hao, Mu Qianyu, Yang Chengming and Yun Jiaoyan, everyone participated in the Young Spirit Master Contest together.

Immediately afterwards, Long Haotian recalled the old man of the Huoyun Ancestor in the Proto Great Forest, the predecessor who was as clean as water.

Then in the depths of the cold pool, he met the loyal bronze armor, his old master, and also his sister - Fang Wenqian!

Of course, there is also Mu Feng among them, the one Mu Zu that he has only known in a few days!

Saying goodbye to Huoyun Ancestor was another sad moment for Long Haotian after experiencing the separation from his mother, but this was the ancestor's own choice, and Long Haotian was happy for him.

and then back to Sandin City, the establishment of the Tianxing team, the addition of the new partner Chen Zhan, and of course, the stinky shameless dragon sword that lives in his dream!

These memories surfaced in Long Haotian's mind over and over again.

Long Haotian began to wonder, did he really want to live up to so many people's trust in him?

No, absolutely not, it is precisely because of the companionship of his partners all the way that Long Haotian can persist until now, so even if it is not for himself, for the sake of one partner after another, he can't start to give up on himself now.

Thinking of this, Long Haotian's chaotic heart felt a little calm, although Long Haotian never dispelled his doubts, but at this moment, he really understood a lot.

It was late at night, people were quiet, the young man's heart began to calm down slowly, Long Haotian also slowly closed his eyes, just lying on the big rock, lying in the arms of nature, Long Haotian slowly fell asleep...
