It was him, the young man from last night.
Xiao Chen turned his head, his brow furrowing slightly.
"Don't follow me anymore, following me will put you in danger!"
Xiao Chen said, looking at the young man hurrying over.
"No!"
Bai He suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Chen, his head heavily hitting the ground, making a dull thud.
"Brother Xiao! I want to become your disciple!"
Bai He shouted loudly and firmly.
Xiao Chen quickly stepped forward to help Bai He up, but Bai He remained prostrate on the ground, refusing to get up.
"Why? There are many people stronger than me in the Nine Provinces, why do you insist on becoming my disciple?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.
"Brother Xiao, there's no time left, among the people I know, only you can help me!"
"My brother died in front of me to protect me, and now the invaders are coming again. If no one stops them, my compatriots will once again lose their homes and be displaced.
I don't want to run away like a coward. I want to avenge my brother, but I'm just an ordinary person. I need strength, Brother Xiao!"
Bai He's head heavily hit the ground.
The highest level of lying is telling half-truths. Apart from the fictional brother, Bai He wasn't really lying. Both his body and soul were those of a Chinese person.
In the world before his transmigration, China had been invaded by foreign countries, but after countless bloodshed and sacrifices, it finally drove away the invaders and, after many years, once again stood at the top of the world.
But after his transmigration, not only China, but the entire Earth was about to face the devastation of aliens.
If he didn't have strength, he would probably end up like countless ordinary people, displaced and in imminent danger under the attacks of the aliens.
He didn't want that! Perhaps in his heart, he also wanted to be like the future Ge Xiaolun and other Black Armor Warriors, to resist the alien invaders, to fight for his country, to fight for Earth!
"Invaders? Are they Bandits, Mountain Bandits, or is it war?"
Looking at the delicate and thin young man in front of him, Xiao Chen sighed. He could feel the worry and helplessness in the young man's heart, as well as his thirst for power.
"But I myself am just a martial artist with mediocre strength, I really don't have the qualifications to teach you!"
Looking at Bai He, Xiao Chen said with a self-deprecating tone.
"No! Brother Xiao, the first time I saw you, I felt that you would definitely become a great hero in the future. It's just that you haven't risen to prominence yet, but one day your name will spread throughout the Nine Provinces and even all the worlds!"
Bai He raised his head, his eyes firm.
"Will there really be such a day?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, but then he shook his head as if mocking himself. How could he even believe a child's flattery?
But no matter what, flattery always works to some extent, and he couldn't help but feel a little more affection for Bai He in his heart.
"Perhaps, but I am currently being hunted down. If you become my disciple, I'm afraid it will not only be of no benefit, but it will also implicate you and endanger your life!"
Looking at Bai He, Xiao Chen couldn't help but advise.
"I, Bai He, have never been the kind of petty person who only seeks profit, rushing in when there's an advantage and running away when there's trouble. Once a teacher, always a father, so naturally, we must share both good and bad fortune!"
"Moreover, I believe that they will definitely regret their actions in the future!"
Bai He raised his head, clenched his fists, and looked at Xiao Chen with burning eyes, his heart full of sincerity, as clear as the sun and moon!
Although his expression and everything were acted out, Bai He felt that what he said was not wrong.
"In that case, I will tentatively accept you as a disciple in name only. If we can meet again in Kunlun Mountain, then I will formally accept you as my disciple!"
Xiao Chen didn't notice Bai He's many precognitive words just now, but looking at the persistent young man in front of him, he was quite appreciative in his heart, so a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After speaking, Xiao Chen circulated the True Qi in his body, soared into the air, and gradually disappeared from Bai He's sight.
"Meet again? There will be a chance! I'm sure!"
Looking at Xiao Chen's gradually receding back, a confident arc appeared on the corner of Bai He's mouth. He knew the plot!
According to the plot in his previous life's memory, Xiao Chen and Zhao Lin'er both arrived at Red Dust Peak the moment the Royal Heavenly Maiden Lan Nuo shattered the void, so they were able to hitch a ride and follow her to the Realm of Longevity.
And from here to Kunlun Mountain, it would take at most until dusk, so on the way, Xiao Chen would definitely be discovered by Zhao Lin'er, because one was chasing and the other was fleeing, which ultimately led to the delay, and they only arrived at the moment before the Royal Heavenly Maiden Lan Nuo shattered the void.
Although he might cause some butterfly effect, Bai He still believed that this key plot would not change.
Therefore, as long as he stayed safely on Red Dust Peak in Kunlun Mountain and waited, he could meet Xiao Chen again at night, and then follow them to shatter the void and travel to the Realm of Longevity, and successfully become a disciple, perfectly intervening in the plot!
The sky was completely bright, and the poisonous insects and beasts that came out to forage at night on Black Mountain began to hide.
The group in the temple packed their things and set off again for Kunlun Mountain.
After leaving Black Mountain, the group began to enter a flat hilly area. The road was no longer monotonous with towering ancient trees, but began to appear with patches of grass and clear streams.
In the distance, the steep and majestic Kunlun Mountain was faintly visible.
At dusk, the orange-red sunset glow was burning brightly in the sky. Under the illumination of the afterglow of the setting sun, the group finally arrived smoothly at Kunlun Mountain.
But at this moment, Kunlun Mountain could be described as a sea of people.
In recent days, hundreds of thousands of people have poured in from all over the Nine Provinces, from princes and nobles to common people, covering all walks of life. Their arrival was to witness this rare miracle in thousands of years.
The entire Kunlun Mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, was almost full of people wherever they could stand, all trying to get closer.
Only Red Dust Peak at the top of Kunlun Mountain had no figures at all. People only stood near Red Dust Peak, because the protagonist of this event, the Royal Heavenly Maiden Lan Nuo, was standing there.
Bai He squeezed through the crowd, stood in front of Red Dust Peak, and then began to climb.
He was just an ordinary person, without True Qi and unable to fly. If he waited until Xiao Chen and Zhao Lin'er arrived before starting to climb, he would probably be too late, so he had to climb up early and wait!
Seeing Bai He's offense to the Royal Heavenly Maiden, many people couldn't help but frown, but they were afraid of offending the Royal Heavenly Maiden if they tried to teach Bai He a lesson.
Because the protagonist here was Lan Nuo, and Lan Nuo had not said anything, they were not good at overstepping their authority. In addition, Bai He's body after projection was only fourteen years old, and he looked like a young boy, so it was not good to bully the young, so they had to give up.
Bai He climbed slowly, and finally climbed to the top of Red Dust Peak, sat down a dozen meters away from Lan Nuo, and quietly began to wait.
The system prompted that he had arrived at the place where the plot was about to begin!
In the blink of an eye, night had already arrived, with the full moon hanging high.
Under the bright moonlight, Red Dust Peak seemed to be shrouded in a layer of hazy gauze, making it appear as ethereal as a fairyland.
Above the summit, Lan Nuo, dressed in white that surpassed the snow, was enveloped in the moonlight. Her celestial body seemed to emit a faint, holy radiance, and her white dress fluttered in the wind, making her appear like a Guanghan fairy who did not partake of mortal affairs.
In the past half-month, she had twice attempted to shatter the void, but each time, at the moment of success, she withdrew the foot she had extended.
Just one step away, and she would be in the eternal realm between heaven and earth.
All the things of the past would be far away from her.
To draw the Sword of Wisdom and sever the ties of the mortal world required immense courage, because no one knew what lay beyond the shattering. Once that step was taken, perhaps endless loneliness would await her in the endless years to come.
Today, she had been standing here since dawn, and all the things of the mortal world had appeared in her heart one by one. She had finally made her decision, and the time to say goodbye was approaching!
A blazing divine light suddenly erupted, enveloping the summit. The entire mountain peak was shrouded in a holy radiance, and Bai He subconsciously used his arm to shield his eyes.
Under the burst of divine light, the void in front of her shattered instantly. Lan Nuo, with her ice-like skin and jade-like bones, calmly and resolutely stepped forward in the holy glow, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Bai He stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, his heart filled with shock.
Suddenly, Bai He heard a delicate shout from behind him: "Stop right there!"
Beside him, a black figure flashed past in an instant—it was Xiao Chen!
"Here it comes!"
Bai He stood up with a whoosh, it was about to begin!
The Source Energy stored in the system began to burn frantically. He had never felt himself run so fast!
"Master!"
Looking at Xiao Chen in front of him, Bai He shouted.
Xiao Chen subconsciously looked back, and Bai He had already caught up with the speed enhanced by burning Source Energy, and grabbed a corner of Xiao Chen's clothes with both hands.
In an instant, the figures of the two disappeared into the shattered void.
Then, Zhao Lin'er, who was closely following behind, also disappeared.
The history of the Nine Provinces records that in the year 7316, the divine maiden Lan Nuo shattered the void and left. The Royal Heavenly Maiden Zhao Lin'er was fortunate enough to form a celestial bond and entered the Realm of Longevity with her.
As for the master and disciple Xiao Chen and Bai He, they were certainly destined to be unrecorded in history.
