"What's going on?"

"Teacher Shan and that kid actually know each other?"

"Who is Teacher Shan Ben, that is a person that even the emperor will meet in person, and he is so familiar with that liar, could it be that we blame him?"

"Damn...... Lean ......"

Especially Du Yuhan and Zhou Feng, their faces were cloudy, and neither of them knew what they were thinking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

......

In the restaurant, in the corner of the window on the second floor, Zhai Ling and Shan Ben were sitting here chatting.

When the two met again after two years, they couldn't help but feel a little more emotional.

"I didn't expect you to become my student after two years of not seeing you...... Hehe, it seems that we are really fateful. Shan Ben looked at Zhai Ling with a smile.

"Hehe, speaking of which, back then, I was also thanks to Shan Lao's enlightenment, and the students thanked Shan Lao for his education with tea instead of wine. Zhai Ling stood up and picked up his wine glass, and said to Shan Ben.

"You, there's no need to thank me, I've been down for many years, so I can see it more clearly than you......" was stunned, shook his head and sighed, finally in the past two years, he was not as poor as he was back then.

"I don't understand, Shan Lao should have been a second-grade refiner at the beginning, but why would he still ...... What about wandering on the streets?" This is indeed something that Zhai Ling doesn't understand, in Da Zhou, the second-grade refiner is not a cabbage that can be seen everywhere, basically they are all big people in the family who serve well, and no matter how bad a single book is, he will not wander the streets.

"Hey, it's hard to describe the past...... Shan Ben shook his head, drank the tea that Zhai Ling poured for him in his hand, paused for a moment and said: "I have an enemy, he was promoted to a third-grade refiner five years ago, and after that, I have lived a wandering life. However, that guy was also eager for quick success, and wanted to steal other people's refining techniques, so he died in a big explosion two years ago, and that's why I ended my wandering......"

Zhai Ling nodded silently and didn't speak again, he could see that the grievances between Shan Ben and his enemy were not as easy as Shan Ben said, and naturally he also understood that Shan Ben had not been easy over the years.

"Those of mine are old things and there is nothing to talk about, and you don't call me an old man or anything, just call me an old man, we are old friends, there is no need to be so polite...... It's you...... I just looked at the self-study application form, are you really ready to apply for self-study?" Shan Ben looked at Zhai Ling with interest but also with a little surprise, he really didn't expect that the little guy in front of him has become very different from back then.

"Sure, I'm confident in myself. Zhai Ling replied with a smile.

"This is not a joke, although I have only been teaching at the Dusty Academy for two years, I have heard a lot about the students. Many people are also very motivated to choose to study their own homework at first, but this is the [Magic City], the lights are everywhere, but any student who can't control it can't escape the end of being expelled. I'm not saying anything for sure, the reason I'm saying this is that I want you to understand...... In your own heart, whether you can stick to your dreams, I don't want to see a decadent you in the future. Shan Ben said very seriously, and it was rare to put down his smile and stare at Zhai Ling's eyes tightly.

In the past two years in the Dusty Academy, Shan Ben has seen too many students who can't resist the temptation and are willing to fall, and he doesn't want Zhai Ling to be one of them, so he still wants to advise Zhai Ling.

In fact, Shan Ben almost never advised others like this, and he also saw the kindness of Zhai Ling who walked to his old beggar to give himself food without scrupling about the eyes of others.

If the words of the single book are not understood thoroughly, it is easy for people to think that the single book is talking about Zhai Ling, if the relationship is not enough, then the relationship between the single book and Zhai Ling will come to an end from today.

However, it is obvious that the relationship between Zhai Ling and Shan Ben is very hard.

"I remember...... You told me at the beginning that the difference between a successful person and a person who wants to succeed is that the former is more determined in his heart. Zhai Ling looked at Shan Ben's eyes without timidity, he could naturally feel the concern of Shan Ben.

So he didn't immediately explain what made Shan Ben believe in himself unconditionally, but recalled saying the words that Shan Ben had comforted him back then.

Shan Ben was stunned, and looked at Zhai Ling with some distraction, after so long, he still remembered what he said......

Thinking about it, Shan Ben shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said with emotion: "I'm old, that's why I became so timid......"

"It's better to be young...... I was so confident when I was young, and I have lived to this day with this confidence......"

As he spoke, Shan Ben looked at Zhai Ling with relief, nodded slowly and said, "I believe in you." Although the contact between us was brief, I could tell the ...... You are a child who is very strong in your beliefs. Today's society is too impetuous, and more people have chosen to sink themselves, and firm belief is the magic weapon that a strong person must have. I believe—"

"In the near future, you will definitely become a strong party, you will. Shan Ben looked at Zhai Ling with burning eyes, and his voice was much more solemn.

Shan Ben's words may be a bit heavy, but he will never regret saying them.

Zhai Ling calmly listened to the praise of the single book, he understood his situation very well, and he also knew how hard it would be for him to pursue, but ......

This is the path he has chosen, and he will not choose to regret it!

......

......

A meal full of delicacies, incense overflowing, and the topic of Zhai Ling and Shan Ben was not as heavy as before.

"Tianxin Palace is about to start the assessment soon, how about it?, are you confident?" Shan Ben looked at Zhai Ling with a smile and said.

"Tianxin Palace......" Zhai Ling shook his head slightly and did not speak.

Shan Ben thought that Zhai Ling was worried about his strength, and immediately comforted: "This Tianxin Palace assessment is actually not that complicated, you don't have to worry too much about anything, as long as you keep a normal heart, with your strength, it should be fine." ”

"That's not it. Zhai Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard Shan Ben's comfort, he pursed his lips and paused for a moment, and then said slowly after organizing some words.

"I'm not going to go to the Tianxin Palace. ”

"Yes, you don't have to worry about anything, with your strength...... Wait, what are you talking about!" Shan Ben suddenly realized what Zhai Ling meant, and suddenly looked at Zhai Ling with wide eyes and disbelief.

"I said, I didn't plan to apply for the Tianxin Palace. ”

"You're crazy! Don't you know the meaning of Tianxin Palace? How many people are fighting for their heads and want to squeeze in, it's better that you don't plan to apply for the exam!" Shan Ben immediately looked at Zhai Ling angrily, he really thought about Zhai Ling sincerely, he knew the value of this Tianxin Palace best.

For the freshmen who have just entered the academy, it is definitely beneficial and harmless, but Zhai Ling actually told him that he didn't want to go to any Tianxin Palace, how could this not make Shan Ben angry.

Zhai Ling could also imagine the incredibleness of the single book, but he still didn't expect the single book to be so angry, so he immediately touched the tip of his nose and was silent.

"I think you may not be very clear about the meaning of Tianxin Palace's existence. Tianxin Palace is like a private tutoring agency. Isn't our academy all half-day, and all the students who are admitted to the Tianxin Palace can go to the Tianxin Palace to study every afternoon, not only can they get a special cultivation plan for themselves, but they may also get some tutoring from the masters. Like our refining department, those third-grade refiners may show up to explain some knowledge to you......" I am afraid that Zhai Ling will not believe it, and he also listed many examples.

"Sanpin Refiners, do they often explain to their students?" Zhai Ling interrupted the single book with a smile and asked the only question that was useful to him.

"Uh...... That's very rare, after all, the third-grade refiners all have their own special topics to study. It's not enough to have a second-grade refiner, it's extremely difficult for you freshmen to reach the height of a first-grade refiner, is it possible that there are still people who break through to a second-grade refiner?

But Zhai Ling touched the tip of his nose again, he couldn't say to Shan Ben - Hey, Lao Dan, I have already broken through to the second-grade refiner, and I will be promoted to the third-grade refiner in a short time.

This kind of slapping in the face, Zhai Ling couldn't do anything about the single book, but he was helpless to face the single book's bitter explanation.

In fact, I know a lot about Zhai Ling of Tianxin Palace.

Tianxin Palace is like a tutor organization, and students who have passed the assessment can choose their own time to receive one-on-one training in Tianxin Palace, which sounds very good, but for the current Zhai Ling, it really has no effect.

With the refining strength that Zhai Ling is showing now, it is estimated that even those masters in the Tianxin Palace are not as good as him, and Zhai Ling is almost the same as giving them lessons.

However, Zhai Ling didn't rush to explain anything to Shan Ben, but listened to Shan Ben's advice with a light smile.

......

Half an hour later.

"You should get the idea. Shan Ben felt a little dry mouth, and picked up the new tea that Zhai Ling had just poured on the side and drank it all.

"Lao Dan, I'm really touched that you can say so much to me. But I really don't need to go to this Tianxin Palace. ”

"You ......"

Before the single book finished speaking, it was interrupted by Zhai Ling with a smile, "Actually, isn't the Heavenly Heart Palace just looking for a master who can solve his doubts when he doesn't understand?

"Surely not, but your logic...... This logic ......" Shan Ben frowned, and he really couldn't find any reason to persuade him this time.

――What Zhai Ling said is right, if you don't know how to find yourself, it's okay. Besides, when I solve his doubts, I won't hide any personal interests like those guys, so there is nothing wrong with that.

"Okay, you can do it yourself. Shan Ben sighed, and acquiesced in Zhai Ling's decision.
