"Master Lu saved everyone? I've been here for nearly ten years and why don't I know?" Bufan whispered to himself in the crowd, but in such a quiet environment, the sound was like thunder that rang through the master and servants. The bottom of human heart.
Everyone around him was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
An aunt saw that the person speaking was Bufan, and quietly said to her friend next to her: "How come Bufan doesn't have any eyesight? Even people like me who have never been to a big city have heard of this family surnamed Lu. Yeah. He must have heard of it, right? You know, it's one of the four major families in the main city."
Of course, Bufan has heard of it, but the other party has laid out such a big scam. It would be fine if he didn't meet him. If he didn't expose Bufan, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
What's more, Bufan glanced at the woman who was not a mortal, and felt a wave of emotion in his heart.
Mr. Lu's face turned red and white, and his voice was trembling as he said, "Where did you come from, this wild boy? He's just telling lies. See if I don't..."
I wanted to say something harsh, but when I saw the crowd protecting Bufan intentionally or unintentionally, Mr. Lu immediately changed his words and said: "Go back to your parents quickly, don't come here to get in the way."
Seeing that he was being disliked, Bufan curled his lips in disdain and left with his head in his arms.
"It's getting late, Thalia, let's go back."
"Okay, miss."
The two of them also left one after another. The indifferent attitude of the woman he admired towards him made Mr. Lu angry for a while. When he recalled what had been screwed up just now, his face turned livid.
Looking at Bufan disappearing around the corner, Mr. Lu's eyes flashed with a trace of sinisterness, and he immediately winked at the bald man. The bald man smiled in understanding and slowly left the team alone.
Mr. Lu then chased after him happily.
"Catherine, let's find a good place to have a meal at noon. I know a place where the food is particularly delicious."
"Okay, okay, the show is over, let's all disperse."
Seeing that the protagonists were leaving, the crowd gradually left.

Far away from the crowd, Bufan walked alone in a quiet alley. The dazzling sunlight shone on Bufan's body, causing him to squint his eyes. There was a white light in front of him. The clouds in the sky were drifting slowly, and suddenly, a white cloud blocked a corner of the sun.
There was a person standing casually in front of his increasingly clear field of vision. When he got closer, Qianqian Bufan discovered that this person turned out to be the bald man from the previous group.
At this time, the bald man with erratic eyes suddenly looked over, and his sharp eyes immediately stopped the extraordinary figure, and a faint sense of crisis emerged in his heart.
"Boy, trouble comes from your mouth. Don't you know that some things should not be said carelessly?"
"My family has taught me that I should behave appropriately, walk the right path, and never tell lies."
The bald man pressed his joints and said with a sinister smile: "Did your family tell you that nosy people will end up well in the end?"
"I'm not meddling in other people's business." Looking at the bald man walking over, Bufan knew that the matter couldn't be resolved, so he pulled out the weapon hanging from his back.
"Hahahaha, you are playing house, kid." When he saw the wooden sword in Bufan's hand, the bald man burst into laughter.
Ignoring the other party's ridicule, Bufan seriously took up the sword stance. He took a small step forward with his left foot, turned his body halfway, and held the sword in front of his chest with both hands. This is the basic sword stance spread in mainland China.
"Okay, I won't play with you anymore. I'm in a hurry. Remember my name. The person who hit you is Tucker. Of course, if you are still alive."
After saying that, the bald head bent his legs, bounced up, and was in front of Feifan in an instant.
The moment Bufan came back to his senses, he saw a fist coming straight towards him. Without giving him any time to react, the powerful fist instantly knocked Bufan away.
He fell five meters away with stars in his eyes, his teeth hurt, and the smell of blood gradually filled his mouth.
"One move? How is this possible? The opponent is only a year or two older than me, and I have no power to fight back!"
Before the shocked Bufan could react, he saw a figure blocking the light, and then he was grabbed by the collar and lifted up, and then the whole person was slammed against the wall.
There was a "bang", and even the thick wall could not withstand this impact, and cracks began to appear.
But the situation of the extraordinary body of flesh and blood was even worse. He felt as if his body had been smashed into pieces, and the dislocated pain all over his body came one after another.
However, this matter is not over yet.
As if venting his hatred, the bald man grabbed Feofan's body and smashed it against the wall again and again.
At the second impact, Bufan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs seemed to be broken, and his body was no longer in control.
Under the subsequent impact, Bufan's own consciousness became increasingly blurred, as if he was about to leave his body.
After an unknown amount of time, the confused Bufan felt the hand holding him loosen, and he fell to the ground unable to stand still.
"Does it look like I'm going to die?"
A shoe came over with a huge force. Being weak all over, I could only watch the shoe zoom in quickly in my field of vision.
"Stop it, Tucker."
"Yes, it's Miss Catherine."
The shoes full of oppression finally stopped within an inch of Bufan's eyes, and then left Bufan's sight.
In Bufan's last consciousness, he saw a group of people, people he had seen before, but the one who walked at the front was the fairy-like woman.
Finally, darkness swallowed him.

Zhuo Jinglong sat calmly, his expression did not change at all after listening to Bufan describe what happened.
The room was eerily quiet. When Bufan felt a little depressed, Zhuo Jinglong finally spoke.
"Are you done?"
"Uh, that's it."
"Feifan, what you did is not wrong in my opinion. Expose the other party's lies, uphold justice, and not be afraid of power. We have a sense of righteousness in our hearts."
Bufan said this a bit shyly. After all, the other half of his soul has been influenced by the information explosion. If this happened again, would he still expose this lie? he does not know? Maybe, maybe not, or another way to reveal it?
"Do you still remember how our family behaves?"
"Well, remember, there are sixteen words in total: be kind to others, don't fight with others, act brightly, and do things honestly."
Zhuo Jinglong nodded and said, "Well, that's right, but after thinking about it for a long time, I thought I should add eight more words."
"Father, please clarify?"
“Repay evil with straightness, and repay kindness with kindness.”
"My child will bear this in mind. Father, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. And if you want to repay your kindness, others will not look down on me with my strength, and there is no way to talk about kindness. So it is fundamental to work hard to improve yourself."
Seeing that his father had no objection, Bufan continued: "I will keep the kindness in my heart, and I will not forget the hatred. I am now a student of Elas Academy. I will study hard and improve my strength. I believe that it will not be long before In the future, I can accomplish all these things.”
"Okay, he has ambition and ideas, he is worthy of being my son." Hearing this, Zhuo Jinglong finally showed a smile.
The two talked for a while. After seeing Bufan yawning non-stop and looking tired on his face, Zhuo Jinglong stood up and said, "I'm going to see if your mother has prepared the food." No matter what, if you eat well, your injuries will heal quickly."
Zhuo Jinglong walked out of the room, came to the courtyard and stood there, as motionless as a statue, staring straight at the sky in the distance.
"Brother Long?" At this time, Xu Xinlan came over with the prepared food. When she saw her husband standing there in a daze, she couldn't help but call out softly.
"Xin'er, when Bufan recovers from his injury and goes to school, let's go back to the clan."
"Return to the clan?" Xu Xinlan was a little surprised.
"Well, I worship Teacher Qin as my teacher. After I started teaching, I have taught more than a hundred students here. Although most of them came here for the purpose of literacy, there are more than ten people who agree with my ideas and the teacher's ideas. This can be regarded as fulfilling the teacher's entrustment. "
"But the clan requires martial arts training. Don't you hate fighting and killing the most?"
"Indeed, it was?"
"once?"
Zhuo Jinglong sighed and said: "Yes, Xin'er, our family has settled here for more than ten years. Based on the principle of being kind to others and not fighting with others, we have lived peacefully together these years. .”
"But I never expected that we would not be enemies of others, but disaster would fall from the sky. Among the students I taught included the mayor's son, and the mayor also promised me that I could ask him for help if I had anything. But this time I just When I asked him who the murderer was, he hesitated and refused to answer, and asked me not to pursue the matter further."
Seeing that her husband was getting more and more excited as he talked and completely lost his composure, Xu Xinlan put down the food, hugged him and comforted him: "Husband, stop talking, this is not your fault."
"No, it's because I'm useless. It's because I'm too naive. My second brother was right back then. Without strength, how can I survive in this troubled world and how can I protect the people who are important to me?" At this point, Zhuo Jinglong's eyes sharpened. .
"Weakness is the original sin. No matter how much knowledge you read, it is useless. Although I don't agree with this point of view of the elder brother. But what he said still makes sense. In this world, only when you are strong can your dreams be realized. "
"Brother Long, I once said that no matter what you want to do, I will support you. No matter in the past, present or future, my heart will not change." Xu Xinlan leaned against her husband and refused to let go.
"Xin'er." Zhuo Jinglong hugged his wife tightly.
"Brother Long."
The two people talking did not know that the extraordinary hearing of the fusion of two souls was different from ordinary people. He listened to the conversation between his parents word for word.
He was originally feeling sleepy, but now he didn't feel sleepy at all. Bufan endured the pain and struggled to sit up, holding the mattress tightly with his hands. Even the bandages that were originally tied were bleeding due to the force of the muscles.
"This world is a world where strength is respected. If you want to be free and comfortable, you need strength; if you want revenge, you also need strength. When you have strength, others will not bully you. I still Very weak, but I will become stronger and stronger."
For the first time, Bufan had a clear goal for himself, which was the desire for strength.
