When Mingdai walked out of Xijiangfeng Command Hall, the sun was almost setting.

The melodious sound of dusk drums washed away the clouds, and the afterglow penetrated the forest leaves to outline mottled light and shadow. For a moment, she felt as if she had returned to the time when she first went to Qingshan Middle School to take up her post.

But back then, there were two old teachers in the school who were helping out, and now she was the only one left in Qingfeng Mountain to talk things over.

Alas, God has given this man a great responsibility, what else can she say?

Well, I can only say that Heaven is really discerning.

After a brief moment of self-love, Mingdai walked in the direction she had taken in her memories, and not long after, she saw a long-awaited crane on the edge of the cliff.

As soon as he saw her, the crane immediately flapped its wings and paced back and forth on its two thin-legged poles, looking like it was waiting impatiently.

Mingdai took out two spiritual stones from her little money bag and threw them to it, calming the crane's restless mood, but she did not leave immediately by the crane.

"Still not coming out?" she asked without looking back.

At first no one responded.

But Mingdai was not in a hurry, she just waited calmly and calmly, like the dean who squatted at the entrance of the Internet cafe after school.

Finally, after another half a minute, short figures sneaked out of the woods and looked at her, but they seemed to be worried about something and did not dare to get too close.

But at this moment, Ming Dai, who was not far away, turned around suddenly as if she had eyes behind her back and caught him in action.

"Xu Minyu."

"...little uncle."

Xu Minyu hesitated for a moment, but finally resigned and walked out from behind the shade of the tree.

I don't know why, but the moment his full name came out of Junior Uncle's mouth, Xu Minyu, who had always been fearless, shivered inexplicably.

He took it for granted that Ming Dai was going to teach him a lesson.

Xu Minyu shrank her neck subconsciously and rolled her eyes. She didn't know whether to turn around and run or wait and run again.

Run, he will return to Qingshan Mountain sooner or later. If he can run, the monk will not be able to escape from the temple; but if he doesn’t run, he may get his ass exploded on the spot and not even be able to return to the temple——

"Gone."

"Ah?" Xu Minyu was stunned.

Mingdai: "What are you doing here? Come here quickly. It will get dark if you wait any longer."

Xu Minyu said that he would not be fooled by adults. Not only did he not step forward, but he took two steps back without leaving a trace and asked: "You won't teach me?"

He thought that Mingdai would deny it and say something like "Of course not, little fool" - if that was the case, he would definitely turn around and run away.

After all, adults are all cunning liars.

Just like Old Man Jia, he sanctimoniously promises to educate those bad guys every time, and then nothing happens again.

After several times, the bullied young disciples no longer dared to go to Old Man Jia to complain and could only endure it silently.

Xu Minyu couldn't stand it anymore, so she came forward to help.

He guessed that this young uncle must have planned to coax him back with pretense of gentleness, and then arrest him, close the door, and hang him.

Old Man Jia had already used this trick on him.

He won't be fooled.

The more Xu Minyu thought about it, the more it seemed possible, and she made up her mind and prepared to run away, but then Mingdai said -

"You also know that you should train?"

Xu Minyu: "..."

This answer was truly something he didn't expect.

Mingdai looked up at the sky and said calmly: "It's getting late, I have other things to do later. If you don't want to go back, just stay here by yourself."

As if he understood what she said, the crane flapped its wings impatiently, as if to say: Hurry up, I'm still waiting for the next order.

Xu Minyu was stunned.

Why doesn’t this little master uncle play his cards according to the routine?!

In desperation, he could only shout: "Wait!"

Mingdai: "Is there anything else?"

Xu Minyu: "..." So cold!

But when he thought of the words he overheard outside the prison hall earlier, Xu Minyu wrinkled her face and hesitated for a while, but decided to take a gamble.

He boldly took a few steps forward, gritted his teeth and asked, "Are all those things you said before true?"

Previous words?

Mingdai quickly realized what he was referring to, but deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Of course it's true."

"I'm leaving soon. If you don't want to leave, you can stay here to feed the mosquitoes."

"That's not it!"

Xu Minyu was really anxious, "It's what you and Old Man Jia said!"

"You said you wanted to take me back to Qingshan Mountain. Five months later, let me fight them in the sect competition. If I win, I will let them apologize to me. If I lose, I will give up my position as elder.

Give it to him, don’t you remember?!”

Mingdai: "Oh, I heard it quite well."

Xu Minyu:......

It is true that he sneaked back without running very far and has been hiding outside the command hall and eavesdropping, but is this the point?

Xu Minyu suddenly became more anxious.

He said angrily and anxiously: "That old guy is not a good person, he is very bad! Don't bet with him!"

"A man is a true man. When one person does something, one person is responsible for it. I don't care if they apologize or not. Master uncle, you don't have to gamble with him as an elder for me!"

Mingdai: "What? Are you afraid of losing?"

Xu Minyu was angry: "...Of course not!"

Oh no!

Did the little uncle understand what he meant? Crazy!

Mingdai: "Isn't it settled then? As long as you can win, does it matter whether the bet is the position of elder or something else?"

Xu Minyu: “But——”

Mingdai said calmly: "There is nothing good about it. Don't think about the things that are and are not. I just mentioned them casually and have nothing to do with you."

"Also, who told you that I made a bet with him because of you?"

Crazy Xu Minyu was stunned.

Not because of him?

Mingdai: "Since you have heard that I am taking you back to Qingshan Mountain, you must have also heard what Jia Yongan said before, right?"

As she spoke, her expression suddenly became serious, and she said in a deep voice: "I was seriously injured, and my cultivation level dropped to Foundation Establishment. I'm afraid I will never be able to advance again."

"And your master doesn't know when he will come back. For the sake of Qingshan Mountain, some of your brothers must become stronger."

She recalled the tone of those old-fashioned protagonists in the hot-blooded boy comics who saved the common people. She stared deeply into the eyes of the young boy and said word by word:

"Xu Minyu, are you willing to be the one who protects Qingfeng Mountain?"

…

Forgive Xu Minyu who was only eight years old and really didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. He just felt that at that moment, everything around him seemed to slow down, and even his breathing became clear and audible.

Many years later, having already become a powerful person, he would still often recall the scene in front of him.

The golden sunset, the steep cliffs, the clothes fluttering in the evening breeze, the figure of the woman standing against the light, and the words that changed his destiny——

Are you willing to be the one who protects Qingshan Mountain?

"I do!"

He suddenly shouted loudly, which frightened several birds in the forest.

But at this time, Xu Minyu didn't have time to pay so much attention, she just felt that the blood in her body was boiling!

Although Xu Minyu was also a child brought back from the mountains by Xu Qingchuan, he was not from a poor background like Yun Shi.

On the contrary, his ancestors were also from a famous family. Although his father did not have spiritual roots, he was a famous knight in the mortal world.

Root out evil and uphold justice.

Until he was killed by a traitor, my father's back was still straight and unyielding.

A true man should stand upright to the heaven and the earth.

Although he is ranked fourth, he is indeed the most talented person in the whole Qingshan Mountain Peak. If he does not step forward at this moment, who else can protect Qingshan Mountain?!

Xu Minyu’s middle soul suddenly burned brightly!
