"Okay, but aren't I about to leave grandma? Xiao Lin can't bear to leave grandma, how about grandma and Xiao Lin stay together?" Qi Mulin threw himself into grandma's arms, raised his little head, and said with a childish voice.
"Haha, I can barely remember what the world outside the eight major families is like. I'm afraid I won't be able to be with the young master anymore, but the young master can tell grandma about the outside world when he comes back in the future." Grandma said with a smile,
There was a hint of reminiscence in the voice.
"Let's go, grandma. If you don't come with Xiao Lin, then Xiao Lin won't go. Xiao Lin will stay with grandma."
"Hmph, doesn't the young master not listen to grandma?"
Qi Mu Lin was startled, looking at the grandmother who was usually extremely kind, but now she had a stern expression, which was a bit unfamiliar. As for the others, they did not speak, but just watched quietly. After a while, Qi Mu Lin quietly spoke:
"Then when will you be able to come back?"
"When will you come back?" Grandma murmured in a low voice, looking up again, as if she was remembering something again, the doting look in her eyes was very strong.
After a moment, grandma continued to speak: "You can come back when you catch up with your father's footsteps. I'm really looking forward to it. Young master, you have to work hard, and don't let grandma wait for too long."
"Catch up with father?" Qi Mulin whispered, then raised his head to look at grandma, paused, and smiled softly, without showing his little fangs or sweet dimples, and his eyes were not as firm as those of other teenagers.
It's just the corners of the mouth that turn up slightly.
He turned around and left without saying a word, still wearing that faint smile, without pausing, and left everyone's sight. No one knew what the five-year-old Qi Mulin was thinking at this time. Looking at the gradually disappearing figure, Qi Mulin
Mu Zhen was startled, his glasses were a little red and there was a light mist, while Xiao Qi bit her red lips and murmured in a low voice.
"It's really similar."
In the dark night, the moonlight shone on Yongfeng City. People who had worked hard for a day did not rest. Instead, they enjoyed the night gifted by God. The laughter and chatter still echoed in the city. In the center of Yongfeng City, there are many luxurious houses. However,
On the roof of the largest room, a small black shadow sat there.
The person sitting here is naturally Qi Mulin, holding his chin with both hands. Their eyes are staring into the distance. Qi Mulin is still thinking about the afternoon. In fact, Qi Mulin is particularly yearning for time outside. He has lived in the eight major families since he was a child.
, even when playing in the city, there are many clansmen who secretly 'accompany' him.
The reason why he refused in the afternoon was because Qi Mulin heard the mention of leaving in the conversations of these elders. I am afraid it will be a long time. Although Qi Mulin is really five years old, he is extremely smart. Although he yearns for it, he does not want to leave the clan.
The elders in.
"well!"
After a long time, Qimulin sighed and recalled the "legendary father" he heard talked about in the clan. Yes, for Qimulin, his father was a legend.
He entered Yuxuan at the age of eighteen, Jinxuan at the age of twenty, Huangxuan at the age of twenty-two, and participated in the Xuanling Conference at the age of twenty-three. He single-handedly defeated four equal masters, and finally won the battle with Xuanzun.
The tie became a legend on the mainland, and he was known as the first of the three geniuses. At the age of twenty-eight, he ascended to the realm of Xuansheng and became the first genius of the eight major families in three thousand years...
It's a pity that Qi Mulin heard all this, but it's still hard to stop Qi Mulin's admiration for his father. When he learned that he would catch up in his father's footsteps, he felt somewhat lonely. Qi Mulin didn't know what his grandma said about his father's footsteps.
'Is it Yuxuan? Or Huangxuan? Or the legendary Xuansheng.
"laugh."
Silently, there was a person next to Qi Mu Lin. He was wearing a white dress, waist-length hair, and a breathtakingly beautiful face. Qi Mu Lin knew who it was without even looking.
"Auntie, aren't you still sleeping?" Qi Mulin said calmly without saying anything, still looking into the distance.
"It's windy outside."
Hatake Zhen put a thick coat on Hatake Lin, sat down next to him, put his hand on the latter's shoulders, and pulled him into his arms.
"Still thinking about what happened this afternoon?" The caring tone and gentle eyes are what Hatake Shin is showing now. They are not as strict as usual as the head of the eight major families.
"Aunt, do you really want to leave? What are the 'father's footsteps' that grandma said? Also, where will I go if I leave you?" Qimulin asked. At this time, Qimulin no longer looked like a five-year-old.
years old children.
"Xiao Lin has so many questions? How should I answer you? Grandma letting you leave is the decision of all your elders, of course, including me." Hatake Zhen paused before continuing.
"As for your father's footsteps, you will naturally understand when you reach that step. And when that day comes, your aunt will be proud of you, and the whole Yongfeng will be proud of you. You have a long way to go, but the entire eight major families
They will all be waiting for you in Yongfeng. Do you know that your father is like a god in the hearts of all Yongfeng people? No, not like a god, he is simply a god..."
Qimulin listened quietly without disturbing him.
The moonlight shone on the two of them, Qimulin, reflecting a faint brilliance. The servants in the clan had already fallen asleep, but Qimuzhen was still speaking seriously, and Qimulin was still listening attentively.
a long time.
"Okay, it's late at night, and it's time for Xiao Lin to rest. Put this away. This is what your father used back then. You have to protect it like your own life, do you understand?"
Hatakezhen stood up, and silently there was a slender object in his hand. It was wrapped in white cloth, slightly curved, and more than four feet long. Listening to what Hatakezhen said just now, looking at the object, it should be a weapon.
Qimulin took it. Although the object was not heavy, it still made Qimulin's hands droop a bit. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, but he could see it from Qimulin's face.
The joy is reflected in the color. It’s not for anything else, just because this is what his father uses.
Hatake looked at Hatake's appearance and didn't bother him. He smiled lightly and turned to leave. However, after taking a few steps away, he stopped without turning around. He just turned his back to Hatake and said.
"Xiao Lin, there is one thing you should never forget at any time, that is, your surname is Hatake. When your sword is directed at you, the entire eight major families, this Yongfeng will fight for blood, even if the flesh and bones melt, even if the life disappears, until the enemy
The moment of death.”
Hatake Lin was startled, and then he was completely stunned. Hatake Makoto's words kept ringing in his mind, and he was thinking about the meaning. When he came back to his senses, Hatake Makoto had already left.
The next day, the sun shone in Yongfeng City as usual, and there were gradually more pedestrians on the street. People in different regional costumes were walking back and forth on the street, but not many people paid attention to it.
After Qi Mulin had eaten the breakfast brought by Xiaoqi, he quickly took Xiaoqi to the residence of the Shangguan family. He wanted to ask Shangguanya to go shopping in the city with him. Of course, his target was the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from shopkeeper Li's family, but he was...
An old man blocked the way.
This person is naturally Xin Shui. Xin Shui at this moment is not much different from yesterday, but there is some change in the way he looks at Qimulin.
