The Zhuji monk seemed to know Chen Xiaobei, and after coming closer, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he took out a foot-long jade sword from his cuff, and drove the jade sword to stab towards Chen Xiaobei.

Chen Xiaobei was suddenly startled, although he was cautious, he was just holding it just in case, who would have thought that this person would come up and not share with him, and just do it. And the jade brilliance on the sword is endless, which is obviously extraordinary, if he hits it well, he will have half his life if he doesn't die.

"Stop!"

A coquettish shout came from behind him, but the foundation building monk had the intention to teach Chen Xiaobei a profound lesson, so he didn't hear it, and the jade sword was like a fish swimming in the water, breaking through the air silently, and it came in front of Chen Xiaobei in an instant.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaobei had already taken precautions, but he was not caught off guard, and when he saw this, he did not seek to defeat the enemy, so he immediately held up the Taihe Monument and put a layer of dark color defensive light shield around his body.

The jade sword sent a fine ripple across the dark light mask, and then quickly swiped past it.

"Huh!"

Monk Zhuji's face showed a hint of surprise, he knew the power of his own blow in his heart, although he didn't use all his strength, it was not something that an ordinary Qi cultivation level monk could easily follow.

However, in front of his eyes, this middle school student, who had not yet graduated, easily took his sword with a stele-shaped magic weapon that did not look very mysterious.

Only then did this foundation building monk pay attention to it, and he no longer looked at Chen Xiaobei as a student, and was ready to show his full strength.

Chen Xiaobei finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw that the Xuanxi light mask easily blocked the blow of the Zhuji monk, and then his eyes suddenly saw that the Zhuji monk was preparing to launch a second attack, and he hurriedly shouted at Zhou Haotian: "Zhou Haotian, do you want to break your oath?"

"Alright, Mr. Li, stop!"

Zhou Haotian very reluctantly stopped the foundation building monk who was called "Li Lao" in his mouth, when Li Lao appeared just now, he did have the idea of borrowing Li Lao's hand to get angry, but at this time Chen Xiaobei had already shouted, he naturally couldn't pretend not to know, so he had to stop it.

Li Lao was the worship of the Zhou family, and he was assigned to Zhou Haotian's subordinates, so he naturally didn't dare not listen to Zhou Haotian's words, and immediately stopped when he heard the words, and looked at Zhou Haotian in surprise.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaobei's heart finally let go, and then he remembered that when Li Lao made a move before, there seemed to be a female voice who spoke out to stop him, he was grateful, and couldn't help but look in the direction where the voice came from.

The man had already come closer, he knew, but it was Ming Ruotong, I don't know why he came here and said help.

"Thank you, thank you very much for coming to help!" Chen Xiaobei expressed his sincere thanks to Ming Ruotong. Although she just spoke to stop it, which had no effect in essence, as long as she had this intention, she deserved his sincere gratitude.

"No thanks! ”

Ming Ruotong looked at Chen Xiaobei with a pair of bright eyes, smiled, and then said lightly, "Actually, I came here today for something else." ”

In this regard, Chen Xiaobei was not surprised, Ming Ruotong was not familiar with him, and it was impossible for him to rush over to help. However, he will not be deterred by this, but put on the appearance of listening carefully.

"Humph!"

Zhou Haotian couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw the two talking as if no one was around, and wanted to kill Chen Xiaobei as soon as possible, but he was forced to swear and couldn't attack. So he snorted coldly, glared at Chen Xiaobei fiercely, and then shook his head and left. In fact, the relationship between Chen Xiaobei and Ming Ruotong was just a simple conversation, but Zhou Haotian was narrow-minded and couldn't bear it.

Chen Xiaobei was too lazy to pay attention to him, if he was still a little jealous of this in the past, but now, not to mention that he has completely offended him, it is the state of mind formed by various difficult experiences during this period of time, which also makes him not afraid of offending him.

Ming Ruotong didn't see Zhou Haotian at all, and took out a red invitation card from the ring on his hand.

Chen Xiaobei stretched out his hand to take it and took a cursory look, it turned out that the city lord was preparing to hold a dinner party in the mansion three days later to reward those who had made outstanding contributions in this battle. And Chen Xiaobei won the first place in the junior high school contribution list, so he was naturally invited.

It's just an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion, how did Ming Ruotong send it?

Chen Xiaobei was puzzled, and couldn't help but look up at Ming Ruotong, and suddenly thought that the city lord seemed to have the surname "Ming", didn't Ming Ruotong have anything to do with the city lord!

He secretly speculated that this guess might be eight or nine points accurate, which also explains why Zhou Haotian is so keen on pursuing Ming Ruotong.

"I have already handed over the invitation to you, and the task given to me by my uncle is complete, and I should also leave. But before I go, I don't know if I should say something?"

Chen Xiaobei was slightly surprised, but immediately said, "It's okay, you can say it!"

Ming Ruotong said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be practicing the Gu Immortal Method now, right?"

Chen Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. The matter of cultivating the Gu Immortal Law was not a heinous thing, and he had no intention of hiding it.

"Is it worth it?"

"What?" Chen Xiaobei was stunned.

"Is it worth it?"

Ming Ruotong repeated it again, she was afraid that Chen Xiaobei wouldn't understand what she meant, and then explained: "For the sake of strength, is it worth walking on the edge of falling?"

Is this a concern for me?

Looking at Ming Ruotong's bright eyes, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, and his once heartbeat seemed to be showing signs of recovery.

Chen Xiaobei said lightly but very firmly: "It's worth it! The world is so big, I don't want to live in this small city for the rest of my life!"

Ming Ruotong seemed to move, her big eyes were full of surprise, she seemed to have met Chen Xiaobei for the first time, and under that modest and cautious appearance there was a heart that contained the whole world.

"I hope you don't forget what you said today, and you won't be in vain in this key middle school!"

After speaking, Ming Ruotong quietly turned around and left quietly, leaving Chen Xiaobei alone with a complicated expression, stunned and independent in place.

He couldn't tell the state of mind in Ruotong's words, and he didn't know why Ming Ruotong came here to say these words to him, he only knew that he didn't seem to have completely forgotten Ming Ruotong. The former forgetfulness was just because he had to bury that feeling deep in his heart because of the pressure of Zhou Haotian.

However, he is no longer what he used to be, and that simple love can no longer be recovered.

Chen Xiaobei sighed, what can't be found is just that simple love? The once carefree life is also gone, and only a heart gradually grows, becomes hard, becomes indifferent, and copes with all kinds of difficulties in life.

Thinking of this, the melancholy on Chen Xiaobei's face suddenly dissipated, and he could only stay firmly, only to hear him mutter: "Three days later, the city lord's mansion banquet, I'm afraid there will be another turmoil!"
