The sun had just risen in the east. Lin Yi quietly got up, then stared blankly at the sleeping Ning Xue for a while. Two strange scars destroyed her face, and what she had at the same time was the purest heart. He kissed her gently on her face, finally ruthlessly, stood up and walked out quietly.
"Going away?" The old man sat on that tree stump that he had been sitting on for an unknown number of years, the walking stick in his hand lightly knocking on the ground. Chu Jingtian stood in front of him with a face full of reluctance, and only after half a second did he say with bewildered eyes, " brother Lin, do you really want to go?"
Lin Yi nodded: "Help me take care of Ningxue. The road ahead may be full of dangers, I can't take her ... After I settle down, I will come back to pick her up. If you guys can't wait, you can also bring her to me then."
Chu Jingtian was just about to promise with conviction when the old man had already spoken, "Go with confidence, within three years, we will not leave this place, let alone let anyone bully Ningxue girl."
"Three ... three years?" Chu Jingtian stared at the old man with wide eyes, tears almost fell out: "Grandpa, what you said can't be true, right? Three ... three years ah!"
The old man did not pay attention to him, but turned his hand over and a black thing appeared in his palm and threw it to Lin Yi. Lin Yi took it, this is a black finger ring, except for a very small "Chu" printed on it, there is no other special features.
"This is?"
"This is a storage ring, it is not a rare thing in the Tian Chen Continent, it should be of some use to you." The old man said calmly.
"A storage ring?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yi;s eyes as he nodded and put him on top of the index finger of his left hand and said, "Thank you Grandpa Chu, your kindness I, Lin Yi, will definitely repay in the future."
"Repay? You have already repaid." The old man said with a smirk. The boundary had been broken, and he had given them a rebirth-like freedom in the "cage". This kindness is truly a great grace.
Lin Yi didn't bother to argue, turned around in a leisurely manner, then lightly waved his hand: "Grandpa Chu, Brother Daniu, help me take care of Ningxue, I'll see you soon."
He did not turn back and slowly walked away. Chu Jingtian's outstretched hand froze in mid-air as his eyes tearfully watched his back disappear from his sight.
"Just like that?" Chu Jingtian reluctantly chattered, then he thought of something, suddenly scurried to the old man and asked pitifully, "Grandpa, you just said you would not leave in three years is it true, but I ..."
"It's true, at least three years, or, never go out." The old man's gaze was profound and calm.
Chu Jingtian almost did not give the old man kneeling, was locked in this shitty place a full fifteen years, he looked forward to the moon and dreamed of a day to go out, but this day miraculously came, but get such a result. If the old man does not agree, no matter what method he uses, it is impossible to escape from his palm.
"He is a dragon out of the sea, and you, you must be a fierce tiger down the mountain. Until you become a fierce tiger, you will never get out." The old man said without mercy, and the body that had been sitting there straightened up.
"A fierce tiger? Then when can I become a fierce tiger?"
"When you get your first glimpse of the Heavenly rank, you will have the qualification to walk out of here." The old man looked into the distance and said calmly and majestically.
"Heavenly rank ... but I failed to reach the spirit level in five years, and how can I break through the spirit level to the heavenly level after reaching the spirit level in three years." Chu Jingtian said.
"Humph!" The old man, who was always as calm as water, let out a cold hum and shouted angrily, "Every generation of our Chu family must stand at the highest peak of the sword dao in the Tian Chen continent at that time, your father died young, now all the hopes of the Chu family fall on you, if you don't even have the confidence to reach this goal, how are you worthy to be the son of my Chu family, how can you be my grandson of Chu Canghai! "
Chu Jingtian bowed his head with a face of shame, not daring to say a word more.
The cane in the old man's hand slammed into the ground, with a crunching sound, the cane broke vertically into four pieces, and the old man's hand had a long, thin sword with a faint blue light. He shouted, the sword's blue light shot, the original only less than a meter of the blade actually out of nowhere a meter-long blue sword mane, even the slender sword body also expanded by three times.
"From today, this sword belongs to you, and if after three years your strength still dishonors the name of this sword, then I will take it back permanently." The old man flung his hand and the sword made a blue arc and plunged down in front of Chu Jingtian. Chu Jingtian hurriedly pulled it out, his hands trembling with excitement.
"Cang Ming Sword ... God's sword Cang Ming ah!" Chu Jingtian two eyes glowing, excited can not wait to hold the sword in front of the kiss on two mouths. But in addition to the excitement, there is no point of sincere and honest look, so that the old man get angry and slap him on the head.
"Remember, after three years, if you can win against him, you will fight with your sword and help the weak. If you can't win him, you will follow him forever, do you understand?"
"Understood, understood!" Chu Jingtian was busy agreeing, and his thick hands touched the Canghai Ming sword over and over again, as if he was touching a flower girl. Finally, with a stern look in his eyes, his right arm danced rapidly and drew a blue sword arc in the air with the Canghai Ming Sword, then patted his chest and said with conviction, "Don't worry grandpa, just to be worthy of this Canghai Ming Sword alone, I will also make my strength reach the heavenly level within three years!"
The old man nodded and turned his back, with a smile, if any, at the corner of his mouth. Back then, he had first glimpsed the realm of the Heaven rank at the age of thirty, entered the Heaven rank at the age of thirty-five, and reached the God rank at the age of sixty, and was already considered a supreme genius. Now, he longed for his grandson to break the myth he had created. Then he would look up to him with relief.
Early in the morning, Ning Xue, who had already taken a liking to sleepiness, stretched lazily, then slowly opened her drowsy eyes, only to find that her brother was no longer by her side. She flattened her lips reluctantly, because every time she woke up before, the first person she saw would be him. Jumping lightly off the plank bed, she straightened her hair and clothes and trotted out.
"Lin Yi!" She shouted crisply, but received no response. Outside the hut, there were only the two familiar people, Chu Jingtian and the old man.
"Where is my brother?" Ning Xue rubbed her still somewhat dazed eyes and asked.
"That ..." Chu Jingtian rubbed his head and said with a smile, "brother Lin he has left."
"Gone? Is it to the forest over there? I'll go find my brother right away."
"No, no." Chu Jingtian hurriedly waved his hands and stammered for half a day before saying, "Ning Xue, your brother he has left here and gone to that Heavenly Dragon Country, he said he would come back to pick you up soon ..."
Chu Jingtian's voice stuck in his throat, could no longer say, while his heart thumped, because her face showed not sadness or anxiety, but ... fear.
