"You have to be strong when you are making iron. There will always be times when I am not around, so you have to worry about practicing."
Qin Shiming felt it was okay for friends and brothers to take care of and help each other, but he couldn't always be there when called, let alone guarantee that he could defeat everyone.
It is most reasonable to raise your own children by yourself.
"I know, Lao Qin."
Xia Houfeng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Well, I'm going to rinse off first. See you later."
That's it. Qin Shiming didn't want to talk too deeply for fear of hurting Xia Houfeng's self-esteem.
"Old Qin, don't leave in a hurry, I have something to talk to you about."
Just as Qin Shiming was about to turn around and leave, Xia Houfeng stopped him again.
"I just passed by the arena, and there was a notice posted on it. You are a candidate for the position of Azure Dragon Protector. After the arena challenge is over, there will be a selection competition for the Azure Dragon Protector."
"Old Qin, you must work hard, brother, I am optimistic about you!"
Xia Houfeng's face was full of admiration, envy, and admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"The trial? I didn't participate in the trial?"
Hearing this, Qin Shiming immediately frowned. Since the showdown with Yang Fan seven days ago, Qin Shiming has been in seclusion. In addition to consolidating his own strength, he also has to repair his damaged body.
How could he have time to sign up for the competition?
Furthermore, how can Qin Shiming have time to take care of trivial matters? The position of Qinglong Protector sounds really scary. No matter how you put it, it can be regarded as the leadership and management of Longmen.
However, Qin Shiming sees clearly and lives transparently. Regardless of his position, he cannot control the situation without strength.
Just like seven days ago, deputy sect leader Xing Tian tried his best to protect Yang Fan and did not have a good look towards Qin Shiming. But as soon as the saint appeared, Xing Tian did not dare to disobey even though he was unhappy.
What Xing Tian obeyed was not the saint's position in Longmen, but the saint's strength.
"Old Qin, please stop being modest."
Xia Houfeng just thought that Qin Shiming was used to keeping a low profile, and said with a smile: "You are now a famous person in Longmen. You are the most talked about person among the yellow class and Xuan class, and even most of the management of Longmen."
"Gold will shine wherever it is. Your low profile has failed."
"..."
Qin Shiming's lips moved, and he wanted to explain, but he stopped when he reached his lips.
"Your biggest enemy is the jade-faced flying dragon Xiao Bailong. This person is the number one master of the Xuan level. Old Qin, you must be prepared in advance." Xia Houfeng solemnly reminded.
"good."
Nodding to Xiahou Feng, Qin Shiming left first.
After washing up and changing his clothes, he went directly to find the Saint. Seven days ago, if the Saint hadn't supported him, Qin Shiming would have been punished by Xing Tian even if he was right.
Qin Shiming always remembered this feeling. At the same time, Qin Shiming guessed that it was the saint who mentioned his name and wanted to cultivate him.
"Aunt, aunt..."
However, after entering the small courtyard of the Saint, there was no trace of the Saint, and no response was received.
"Little guy, don't disturb the saint's retreat. Come and sit in my yard."
At this time, the voice of the medicine monk came from outside.
"Senior Yao, has the saint gone into seclusion?"
Qin Shiming asked.
Monk Yao did not answer in a hurry, he just looked at Qin Shiming deeply and kept nodding, "He is really a genius. He has been in the Dragon Gate for less than a month and has jumped twice in a row. It's amazing."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior, I..."
"Come and sit in my courtyard for a while. You have to compensate me for my losses." Monk Yao's eyes were sharp, showing a bit of solemnity, and the atmosphere suddenly became less harmonious and friendly.
Compensate for losses?
Qin Shiming can't stand it anymore. Has he offended Monk Yao?
Since the saint was in seclusion, Qin Shiming followed the medicine monk.
"sit."
Different from the small courtyard of the Saint, the courtyard of the Medicine Monk is larger and has many plants planted, but most of them are medicinal materials, and there is a strong medicinal smell floating all over the courtyard.
"Senior Yao, you just said that I caused you to suffer losses. Please tell me clearly, have I done anything to regret you?"
Qin Shiming has a knot in his heart, where can he sit still?
"Yang Fan is gone. From now on, you have to accompany me to play with fire and refine medicine."
The medicine monk glanced sideways at Qin Shiming, "Although Yang Fan didn't worship me as his teacher, I actually taught him a lot of things. How do you calculate this account?"
"It doesn't matter. From now on, I will accompany you to make medicine and light a fire for you."
After hearing this, Qin Shiming was not angry, but was extremely happy.
The impression given by the Medicine Monk is that he neither fights nor grabs, and is only obsessed with refining medicine and making medicines. When we first met him on the first day after entering Longmen, the Medicine Monk fell asleep directly, but is he really incompetent?
You don’t have the ability to serve as the deputy sect leader of Longmen?
Don't you dare to sleep in a mess?
"Well, you have some sharp eyesight." Yao Monk smiled and pointed at Qin Shiming, "I just heard you called Aunt Saint, did you come in through the back door too?"
"Uh, do you think I'm incompetent?"
Qin Shiming didn't answer the question.
"No matter how you came in, for the next month, you will stay in my alchemy. This is not only my wish, but also the saint's wish."
"Um?"
Qin Shiming frowned, "You're not allowed to go anywhere within a month? Why?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shiming was not very happy. It was a bit like being imprisoned. He didn't like to be restrained.
"Because you have been targeted. The Xuan-level class is different from the Yellow-level class. There is great competition. And you have undoubtedly stolen the limelight from some people. They will kill you."
The Yao monk paced the yard with his hands behind his back, "Same class competes with each other, we support and encourage, and do not violate the rules. So, this is actually the greatest protection for you, do you understand?"
"I understand, but it doesn't seem necessary."
"unnecessary?"
The Yao monk smiled when he heard this, "You are very proud."
"It's not pride, it's just that I don't like to escape, because I can't hide for a lifetime." Qin Shiming insisted on his original intention. When he met Li Xiaoyun and Xiao Bailong at the door of the cafeteria, Qin Shiming knew that this trip would not be easy.
The previous Qinglong Zhuo and his party also had friends and influence in Longmen. Now that Zhuo has left, will these people let him go?
Will the admirers and pursuers of Monday's dream let me go?
After leaving Longmen, will those bastards from Blood Gate let me go?
"You have very hard bones."
The medicine monk smiled and said, "I'll tell you about myself, and you will know how dangerous the situation you are about to face is."
"who?"
"Deputy Sect Master Xing Tian."
The medicine monk raised his eyebrows and said, "Yang Fan is his disciple. You cut off his disciple's arm and even drove him out of the dragon gate. Do you think the following days will be pleasant?"
"Apprentice? Shouldn't Yang Fan be your apprentice?"
Qin Shiming's expression changed with surprise, not because he was afraid, but because he was surprised.
"The old monk has never had any disciples in his life."
"So, the saint is in retreat, and she entrusted you to help me?" Qin Shiming thought about it.
"It seems that you are not only strong-boned, but also quite smart."
