Thinking of the time passing by like water, several people could not help but sigh.
"In the blink of an eye, we are all so big.
I remember that we were the same size as Long'er back then, and we also longed to travel alone in the world.
Now there is a group of people behind us who need us to overcome obstacles ahead."
After some sighs, the four of them came to the door of Long'er's room. After confirming that Long'er was still sleeping soundly, the four of them returned to their respective rooms with peace of mind and lay down to rest peacefully.
When the four of them lay down, images of the four of them practicing martial arts together as children and going through life and death together as adults kept popping up in their minds.
The four people lying on the bed said exactly the same thing in unison:
"Nice to have you!"
After saying that, the four of them fell asleep slowly while reminiscing about their youth, with happy smiles on everyone's faces.
The next day, Duan Fengyun got up and had breakfast. After walking around the kitchen, he came to Long Er's room carrying porridge and meat buns carefully prepared for Long Er.
Knocked on the door, but no one answered. Duan Fengyun opened the door again and saw that Long Er was still asleep.
It seems that yesterday's battle caused a heavy mental loss to Long Er, so he still hasn't woken up yet.
Upon seeing this, Duan Fengyun put the porridge and meat buns on the table for Long Er, walked to the bed and covered Long Er with a quilt, quietly closed the door and went to the meeting hall.
Shortly after Duan Fengyun left, Long Er slowly opened his eyes. Long Er rubbed his slightly dizzy head and looked at the room in confusion.
Seeing himself lying on a familiar bed, Long Er didn't believe it at first.
His memory only remembers the time when he fought Zhu Qingtian in the Forbidden Land of Heaven, and he doesn't know the rest.
Seeing the familiar bed and the delicious meat buns on the table, Long Er read:
"Dad and the others must have followed me secretly and then rescued me at the critical moment.
I don’t know if that old guy Zhu Qingtian is dead. If he’s not dead, I must ask dad to hand him over to me.
This old guy scolded my father and wanted to kill me, so I must take care of him."
"Grrrrrr!"
At this time, Long Er's stomach made a sound of resistance.
After the battle last night, Long Er, who hadn't eaten yet, was already hungry. After seeing the delicious meat buns, Long Er's appetite increased and he finished all the meat buns.
On the side, Qingzhu Long'er didn't even look at it. For a carnivore like Long'er, he never looked at Qingzhu.
After eating, Long Er couldn't help but worry about another problem.
"I didn't even kill Zhu Qingtian, so I should have failed this assessment.
According to the previous agreement, if I fail this assessment, I will still have to accept training from my father and the others, and I still cannot travel alone in the world."
Thinking of this, Long Er felt a little disappointed.
But Long'er thought that if Duan Fengyun and the others hadn't saved him, he would have died long ago, and why would he be talking about traveling in the world?
Thinking of this, Long Er felt much happier.
After resting for a while, Long Er came to Duan Fengyun's room.
After knocking on the door, no one answered. When he opened the door, no one was there. Long Er knew that Duan Fengyun must be in the meeting hall.
After Long Er closed the door, he walked towards the meeting hall, where he met many Longmen disciples. Long Er also greeted them happily.
Long Er came to the meeting hall and saw Duan Fengyun, Nie Feng, Wen Chou Chou and others still discussing something.
The sensible Long'er didn't say anything and stood outside obediently, waiting for several people to finish speaking.
The four Duan Fengyun who were still discussing with Wen Chou Chou about the future expansion of Longmen suddenly lost their mood when they saw Long Er coming.
But the four of them know right and wrong, and their current status also requires them to take the overall situation into consideration.
After deciding what to do next with Wen Chou Chou, Duan Fengyun shouted to Long Er outside the house:
"Long'er, come in quickly.
We’re done!”
Wen Chou Chou, who had been completely brainwashed by Duan Fengyun and turned into a tool, said hello to Long Er and left in a hurry.
Long Er came to Duan Fengyun and shouted:
"Dad, Uncle Shuang, Uncle Feng, Uncle Yun."
"Long'er, be good!"
Duan Fengyun happily touched Long Er's head. He was really worried that Long Er's hair would be lost by him like this.
Long Er looked at Duan Fengyun, then at Qin Shuang and the others and said:
"Dad, I know that I failed this test, and I didn't kill that Zhu Qingtian.
Dad, please give me another assessment. This time I will definitely guarantee the mission.
By the way, Dad, how did you rescue me from the prison of heaven and earth?
I remember that I was fighting with Zhu Qingtian, and I was a little powerless, and then I felt like I was in a coma."
The four Duan Fengyun people were slightly shocked after hearing this. They didn't expect that Long Er didn't remember what they discovered later.
Maybe Long Er shouldn't have known about it in the first place, because it was the Sword Master who was taking the lead throughout the whole process.
In this case, Duan Fengyun had to change the wording he had already thought of.
Duan Fengyun's eyes hinted at Qin Shuang and the others, telling them not to explain but to listen to him.
After getting Duan Fengyun's hint, Qin Shuang and the others chose to shut up and watched quietly as Duan Fengyun was about to tell another story about a loving father and a filial son.
Duan Fengyun smiled and then began to say:
"After you left Longmen that day, your Uncle Shuang and I were still worried about your safety, so I followed you to the Imperial City to protect you secretly.
As for the guards at the Heavenly Prison, do you think the guards at the Heavenly Prison in the majestic imperial city are really what you see?
That was because I went to greet the people in the Sky Prison in advance and asked them to deliberately leave a loophole for you, otherwise you would not have been able to enter the heavily guarded Sky Prison so easily.
And I pretended to be a prisoner and hid in the corner of the cell closest to the forbidden area. After you entered the forbidden area, I quietly came outside the forbidden area to see you and Zhu Qingtian.
After seeing you fighting with Zhu Qingtian, I still chose to believe you.
In the end, because you have insufficient experience in actual combat against the enemy, you are put in a life-or-death situation.
So in the end I took action to save you. As for Zhu Qingtian who scolded me so hard, how could I let him live!"
After hearing Duan Fengyun's story, Qin Shuang and the others were stunned. They had indeed read Duan Fengyun correctly. After his narration, a story about a loving father and a filial son came alive before their eyes.
After hearing this, Long Er looked ashamed. He thought that he was already capable of walking around the world, but in the end, he couldn't even handle a prisoner in a sky jail, and he still needed his father to rescue him.
"Dad, I'm sorry, it's because I'm not good at school that you're so worried and want to find a way to save me.
Dad, I will study harder next time and pass the next assessment."
Duan Fengyun shook his head and said:
"There is no next assessment, this one is enough."
After hearing this sentence, Long Er thought it meant something else.
He thought it was this assessment that disappointed Duan Fengyun, so Duan Fengyun would not give him another chance.
Duan Fengyun buried his head in disappointment. It seemed that he still had a long way to go.
Seeing Long Er's disappointed look, Duan Fengyun instantly understood that Long Er must have misunderstood what he meant.
He touched Long'er's head and laughed:
"Don't misunderstand dad's meaning and then hate him.
What dad means is that although you have not completed the tasks dad assigned you during this assessment.
But your calmness and firmness when facing the enemy made dad very satisfied.
After discussing with your Uncle Feng and the others, we unanimously decided to give you a passing grade in the assessment.
Long'er, congratulations! You passed the examination, you can be a hero and travel to the ends of the world with your sword!"
Long Er, who originally looked disappointed, didn't believe his ears after hearing Duan Fengyun's words.
"Did I pass the test?
Did I pass the assessment?
I really passed the exam!
Wow, I can finally travel alone and do what I want to do."
Qin Shuang, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun smiled and said:
"Congratulations, Long'er, from now on one of our Longmen will be a hero."
"Thank you three uncles."
Long Er said happily.
Duan Fengyun stood up at this time and added:
"Long'er, regarding your travels in the world, I have only one premise: tell us your destination in advance.
You are not allowed to leave alone and make the decision without permission.
Don’t worry, we won’t follow you, we just want to know your whereabouts!”
Long Er nodded seriously and said:
"Dad, don't worry.
I will definitely say hello to you in advance every time I go out, and I won’t let you worry."
Long'er knew what Duan Fengyun meant, and every time he said hello before going out, Duan Fengyun and the four of them felt a lot more at ease.
