The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 1327: Returning after one year, Shi Yi speaks
"Master, father."

Shiyi tried calling out several times in succession, and actually made a sound. Although it was intermittent, he did speak.

More than a year ago, when Zhou Chen left, she said that she wanted to be called Master after she came back, so she has been working hard for more than a year.

She didn't just start speaking today, but today she was able to speak several times in a row. This was the first time since she became aphasic.

Just as she was practicing her voice, the voice of her maid Cheng Xi suddenly came from downstairs.

"Girl, His Highness is back."

When Xi Shiyi heard this, her expression changed instantly. She dropped the letter in her hand, picked up her skirt, and ran downstairs. When she was going down the stairs, she almost fell down. Cheng Xi was shocked and rushed forward to support Xi Shiyi in a panic.

But Shi Yi didn't feel any pain at all. He waved at Cheng Xi, then ran out of the library again and headed straight for the front yard.

After running out of the yard and asking the guards, she found out that Zhou Chen had just entered the palace and was in the front hall, so she hurried to the front hall again.

When she ran to the front hall, she saw her master and a group of senior brothers and sisters staying in the hall. She slowed down, took a breath, calmed her rapidly beating heart, and walked into the hall with a happy face.

Naturally, the arrival of Xi Shiyi attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and several senior sisters and brothers who had a good relationship with her also showed expressions of doting.

"Junior sister, you have grown a lot taller."

When Hong Xiaoyu saw Shiyi, he couldn't help but say happily.

Shi Yi bowed to everyone very politely, smiled at Hong Xiaoyu and other senior sisters and brothers, and then looked at Zhou Chen with burning eyes.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was safe and sound, and as elegant as before he left, she finally put her mind at ease.

"Master. Master."

She tried hard to call out the word "Master", but she didn't know whether it was because she was too anxious or she hadn't recovered yet, she couldn't even call out the word "Master".

Seeing that Li Shiyi was eager to speak, Zhou Chen knew that she must still remember what he said when she left, so he smiled gently.

"Eleven, it's okay if you can't tell. We're not in a hurry. Let's take our time."

Shiyi was very depressed and angry with himself, feeling that he was so useless. He finally saw his master but still couldn't call out his name.

Everyone saw how anxious Shiyi was and tried to comfort her. Senior Sister Hong Xiaoyu even smiled and said, "Junior Sister, Master brought you a gift this time."

Hearing that there was a gift, Shiyi looked at Zhou Chen curiously, his eyes full of questions.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "We couldn't come back to spend your birthday with you this year, so we specially chose a birthday gift for you. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

As soon as he moved, everyone else followed immediately. Shiyi followed Zhou Chen closely, closer than anyone else, for fear that Zhou Chen would suddenly leave again.

He brought everyone to the stable behind the palace, where the palace raised horses, with dozens of horses in total.

Walking to one of the places and standing still, Zhou Chen pointed at a white horse that was kept alone in the stable.

"Eleven, this is the little white horse. Do you like it?"

When Shiyi saw the snow-white little white horse in front of him without any other colors, his eyes widened.

'What a beautiful pony.'

Hong Xiaoyu talked about the origin of the little white horse: "Junior sister, this little white horse was found by Master when it was still a foal. Master said that you must like this little white horse very much, so we have been raising it all the time, just to give it to you when we come back. Although this horse is not yet an adult, it should be no problem for you to ride it."

Shiyi really liked this little white horse, especially since it was specially prepared for her by her master.

'Thank you, Master. I like it very much.'

Zhou Chen whispered: "Its name is White Dragon."

Shi Yi's eyes lit up, and he gestured to Zhou Chen: "Is it the white dragon horse in Journey to the West?"

Zhou Chen smiled and replied, "Yes, it's the White Dragon Horse in Journey to the West. Have you finished reading Journey to the West?"

"Uh-huh."

Shiyi nodded repeatedly. Journey to the West was a birthday gift from her master. She read it carefully from beginning to end and was already reading it for the second time.

"When I have time, I will teach you how to ride a horse."

Shiyi readily agreed. In the past, she always rode in a carriage and had never ridden a horse alone. The most important thing was that Zhou Chen taught her, and that was what made her happiest.

Over the past year, what she missed most was the time when Zhou Chen taught her in the palace. Now that Zhou Chen is back, they can resume those happy days.

Zhou Chen has been resting for two days since he came back. He has been away for more than a year. Although he is not fighting all the time, he is still quite nervous. He needs to make some adjustments after coming back.

In the past two days, Shi Yi came to see Zhou Chen every day, but did not disturb him too much. She just brought some food and drinks and showed some concern.

The rest of the time she spent running to the stable to see the little white dragon horse that Zhou Chen gave her. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

On the third day after returning, Zhou Chen began to teach Shi Yi riding skills. Because Bai Long had been trained by Zhou Chen to be very docile, after a few days, Shi Yi dared to ride a horse by himself, but he only rode slowly and did not dare to ride fast or run.

In the study, Zhou Chen took the teacup handed to him by Shi Yi and took a sip.

"After reading Journey to the West, what do you think?"

'It looks good, Shiyi likes it very much.'

"Which character in Journey to the West do you like best?"

Shiyi thought about it for a while and gave an answer.

'The Great Sage Equaling Heaven.'

"Sun Wukong."

Shi Yi waved his hand: "No, it's the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, not the Monkey King behind."

Zhou Chen immediately became interested: "Sun Wukong before he went on a journey to the West, why?"

Shi Yi looked thoughtful, she liked the Monkey King because of his courage and unruly nature, as well as his willingness to break worldly rules and never back down.

As for the Sun Wukong who later went on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures and the Sun Wukong who became a Buddha, although they were also very good, she felt that the Sun Wukong before he went on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures was more attractive to her.

Because she felt that the Monkey King who went on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures had lost his former arrogance and seemed to have been tamed, very much like her, so she didn't like him very much.

But she couldn't tell this to Zhou Chen, so she just smiled and said that she just liked it.

Even if she didn't say it, Zhou Chen could understand what she was thinking.

Many people who have read Journey to the West like the early Monkey King Sun Wukong, because they can see what they desire in him, while the later Monkey King is more like a compromise, a compromise defeated by reality, just like ordinary people.

Zhou Tianxing suddenly walked into the study.

"Master, Third Junior Brother and Fourth Junior Sister are back. They have something to report to you. They are now in the military camp outside the city."

Zhou Chen said: "I see, get ready, we are going to the military camp now, Eleven, do you want to go with us?"

Shi Yi nodded immediately.

"Okay, then you come with us, let's go."

The group soon arrived at the military camp. Xie Yun and Feng Qiao saw Shi Yi and chatted happily for a few words, then reported the situation to Zhou Chen.

"Master, when we were coming back from the west, we met a group of monks who came from Zhongli."

As soon as Zhou Chen heard it, he knew that the plot was still happening normally. Nan Xiao’s second prince Xiao Yan had arrived.

Having read the original novel, he had a favorable impression of the second prince of Nan Xiao, because in the plot, after he met Zhou Shengchen, he always stood on Zhou Shengchen's side, and it was also his credit that Zhou Shengchen's body was finally retrieved.

The Second Prince of Nanxiao is definitely a loyal and righteous man who is worth making friends with.

Xie Yun and Feng Qiao told Zhou Chen the whole story, and Zhou Chen took the opportunity to suggest going to Galan Temple, so a group of people went to Galan Temple.

The Galan Temple was right in Xizhou City, so they quickly reached their destination. Zhou Chen asked the rest of the soldiers to wait outside the temple, and he took Shi Yi, Xie Yun and Feng Qiao into the temple.

Before going in, he glanced at Shiyi. He thought Shiyi would speak earlier, but he didn't expect it to be delayed until today. It seems that he still has to transform into the best actor today.

Zhou Chen's identity was obvious. As soon as he entered the temple, the abbot of the Galan Temple brought the abbot who escaped from Nanxiao to pay him a visit. Zhou Chen also spoke to them politely.

He didn't have much favorable impression towards Buddhism, but he didn't have any unfavorable impression towards it either.

It is undeniable that in many movies, TV shows and novels, Buddhism is often portrayed as the villain, and there are indeed many monks who behave improperly.

But we have to admit that there are still many true Buddhist masters. At least this abbot from the south was able to lead so many refugees to escape to Xizhou City. No matter whether he had any ideas of his own, at least what he did was good.

Zhou Chen has always been kind to those Buddhist monks who are truly compassionate.

Let Xie Yun escort the refugees to Xizhou City, while Zhou Chen chatted with the abbot from Nanxiao. He remembered the Qinglong Temple in the plot, so he casually said that he was willing to help them build the temple, which made the abbot grateful.

A young novice monk came over and said he wanted to give his disciple ordination, so the abbot apologized and left to give his disciple ordination.

"Eleven, I just agreed to help them build a new temple. The name of the new temple is up to you."

'I? '

Shi Yi pointed at himself in surprise, but when he saw Zhou Chen's encouraging look, he smiled and agreed.

Zhou Chen knew that the person who was being ordained inside was the second prince of Nanxiao, Xiao Yan, so he took Li Shiyi with him and walked over.

Walking into the hall, Zhou Chen saw Xiao Yan who was getting ordained. He remained calm and stood quietly by the side watching him get ordained.

Xiao Yan also saw Zhou Chen. Seeing that Zhou Chen did not move, he naturally did not speak first. He clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

The tonsure was completed quickly.

"Master, I want to say a few words to him, can I?"

The young monk wanted to stop him, but the abbot held him back and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please." Then he took the young monk away.

There were only three people left in the hall, and Zhou Chen spoke up, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You gave up your dignified position as a prince and went to Xizhou City to become a monk. You really have the leisure time and elegance."

Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and smiled.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Your Highness. Things in this world are unpredictable. I never thought that the next time I see Your Highness, it would be in this situation."

Shi Yi carefully pulled Zhou Chen's clothes, her eyes full of questions.

Zhou Chen smiled and explained: "This is the second prince of Nan Xiao. We have met several times before."

Shi Yi was shocked. It was strange no matter how he looked at it that the Second Prince of Nan Xiao came here to become a monk.

Xiao Yan looked at Shi Yi curiously, then turned to Zhou Chen: "Your Highness recognized me, but remained indifferent. Isn't he afraid that I came here with a purpose?"

"To be honest, I'm not afraid. First, I have confidence in myself. Second, although we have only met a few times, I still admire you very much. I have also heard some rumors about you. If there hadn't been a big change, you wouldn't have appeared here."

"Amitabha, Your Highness is still as elegant as ever, which makes this poor monk admire you. However, Your Highness, you have to be careful."

Just as he finished speaking, several refugees wearing coarse linen clothes suddenly rushed in from outside the hall.

Seeing them appear, Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged, he just protected Shiyi behind him.

"Are these your people, or Emperor Nan Xiao's people?"

Xiao Yan sighed, "I have already decided to become a monk and give up my identity as the Prince of Nan Xiao, so why would I bring anyone here?"

Then he stood up, turned to them and said, "You guys go back. I have made up my mind. I will not go back with you."

But these people all knelt down and replied: "We will never leave Your Highness even if we die."

Zhou Chen said: "It seems that they are quite loyal to you."

Xiao Yan chanted a Buddhist chant: "I have become a monk and no longer need guards. This is Xizhou City. If we don't leave now, we will never be able to leave."

But these people suddenly looked at Zhou Chen and Xi Shiyi with fierce eyes, but before they could do anything, Xiao Yan spoke again.

"I advise you not to attack them, otherwise you will die."

But these guards not only want to protect him, but also want to take him back to Nanxiao on the orders of Emperor Nanxiao, so of course they can't give up. If they can capture the little King Nanchen, the right to speak will be in their hands.

Thinking of this, they could no longer hold back and stood up at the same time, rushing towards Zhou Chen and Li Shiyi.

Zhou Chen said softly: "Eleven, step back."

As he said this, he went towards the people who were rushing towards him and started fighting with them with fists and feet.

After a few quick exchanges, Zhou Chen was able to determine their level. Their strength and boxing skills were not bad, but that was only compared to ordinary people. In his eyes, as someone who had already developed internal strength, they were just little Karamis.

However, in order to allow Shiyi to speak, the whole play had to be performed.

When those people saw that Zhou Chen was too powerful to be defeated, one of them suddenly turned his eyes and actually looked at Xi Shiyi in the hall. He suddenly rushed towards Xi Shiyi and even wanted to attack Xi Shiyi.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan clenched his fists and prepared to attack, but Zhou Chen was faster than him.

Originally, he wanted to use these people to stimulate Shi Yi to speak, but who would have thought that they actually wanted to attack Shi Yi, which really touched his reverse scale.

He turned around suddenly, his speed increased dramatically, and he took the initiative to grab the shoulder of the man who attacked Shi Yi. He pulled hard and threw him out of the hall. He fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

When the other few people saw this, they all realized that the idea was difficult, so they no longer held back, and at the same time drew out the sharp swords hidden at their waists and attacked Zhou Chen again.

Zhou Chen deliberately controlled and moved them from inside the hall to outside the hall and continued to fight with them, but he did not take them all down. Instead, he deliberately exposed flaws to give people a dangerous visual effect.

Looking at Zhou Chen who was fighting, Shiyi's face was full of tension, his hands were tangled together, and his fingertips were clenched white.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan, who was standing aside, had a frown on his face. He was also a martial arts expert, proficient in fists, kicks, swords and knives. His eyesight was much better than that of Li Shiyi, so he was confused.

Logically speaking, with King Nanchen's level, it is impossible for him to fight so dangerously. He just beat the man to the point of vomiting blood, and now he beat him like this. It looks fake no matter how you look at it.

But Shi Yi didn't know all this. She only knew that her master was being besieged and the enemies were using swords. She was almost stabbed by the swords several times. She was so anxious that her heart was about to jump out.

Suddenly, a long sword stabbed at Zhou Chen from behind, and Zhou Chen seemed to be unaware of it. When it was about to stab Zhou Chen, Shiyi couldn't bear it any longer and blurted out.

"Master, be careful behind you."

When Zhou Chen heard Shi Yi finally speak, he was immediately delighted and stopped acting. He dodged the sword behind him by leaning sideways and kicked out.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

In just a few breaths, those people who had just fought fiercely with Zhou Chen had all fallen to the ground and could hardly stand up.

"Master."

After the battle, Shiyi couldn't bear it any longer and rushed towards Zhou Chen. He looked around and was relieved to see that Zhou Chen had no wounds on his body.

Xiao Yan looked at this scene with a strange expression, speechless. Could it be any more fake?
Although he didn't know why Zhou Chen acted so flustered just now, he was sure that it was related to the time.
