"Father, who is that boy?"

A burly man emerged from a secret passage in the room and came to the courtyard.

"The young man who solved Zou Hongxia's trouble, Xiao Yi."

Mr. He said slowly.

"It's him?"

The man was a little surprised.

Mr. He nodded, a white towel flashed in his hand, and he wiped the oil stains on his hands.

"What is he doing here? Could it be..."

The man frowned.

"Could it be that he knows our identities?"

"That's not the case, but..."

Mr. He shook his head, but did not continue and changed the question.

"How was tonight?"

"Tonight... there will be no movement."

The man affirmed.

"Um……"

Mr. He's expression became complicated again.

"What did you talk about with Xiao Yi?"

Men are curious.

"Of course it's the Donghuang Bell..."

Mr. He briefly recounted the conversation between the two.

"Why did you say it?"

"For the sake of this meal and the fact that he helped Zou Hongxia, I will tell him something substantial."

"you……"

The man still didn't quite understand.

"Sometimes, when I say something, he won't doubt me... Besides, he will know about this sooner or later."

Mr. He said.

The man thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Father, if Chaos... Donghuang Bell really shows up and recognizes its master, then we can fulfill the oath our ancestors made to protect Donghuang Bell."

The man said.

"Everything is still uncertain."

Mr. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Why, if you don't acknowledge the Lord, you and your next generation won't be willing to continue protecting Him?"

"This……"

The man hesitated.

"Father, times have changed. How many of us are left now? Besides, we all have normal lives. Our children..."

"Even if there is only one person left, we must continue to protect!"

Mr. He interrupted and shouted.

The man didn't dare to say anything more and could only respond.

"Go."

After a while, Mr. He fell back on the recliner and looked up at the sky.

The man wanted to speak, but he held back, nodded and left...

On the other side, Xiao Yi strolled towards the inn.

"This old man He must know something!"

Xiao Yi muttered to himself, as to whether Mr. He was the guardian, he was a little unsure.

He had felt Mr. He's aura and found that he was just an ordinary person.

"Last time, it was a beast that guarded the Kongtong Seal, but this time... it's a human!"

Xiao Yi muttered as he thought of the giant wolf tribe in Kongtong Mountain.

This person is much more complicated than the beast...

Anyway, now that he had heard about it, he had a clear idea in his mind.

Other forces may become his enemies, but he naturally does not need to confront the Guardians head-on.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he had a bit of respect for both the giant wolf clan and these guardians.

This mission of protection is not just thirty or fifty years, or just a few generations, but rather, it is a persistent protection for thousands of years without changing the original intention.

So, how could I possibly become his enemy...

After returning to the inn, Xiao Yi first checked on Xiao Wan's condition before returning to the living room.

"Xiao Yi."

Xiao Tianhua handed over a booklet.

"what?"

Xiao Yi was puzzled and opened it to look.

"Gauntlet?"

"Well, the Pei family sent it tonight. Pei Tianrui asked you to fight tomorrow."

Xiao Tianhua explained.

"I've seen people seeking death, but I've never seen anyone seeking death like this. This isn't the end yet."

Xiao Yi twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Have you met Pei Tianrui?"

Xiao Wantang saw something and asked.

"Morning in the mountains..."

Xiao Yi said it simply.

"Then will you accept the challenge?"

Xiao Jianshan asked.

“Why do you care about these things?”

Xiao Yi shook his head and threw the challenge letter aside.

"Brother Xiaoyi, you have to accept the challenge!"

Xiao Wan ran out of the room.

"If you don't practice well, you will just listen to the wall."

Xiao Yi affectionately flicked Xiao Wan's head.

Now, he has long regarded Xiao Wan as his own sister.

Xiao Wan was injured today, which really made him feel distressed and scared.

"Brother, you have to fight."

Xiao Wan was excited.

"Why, what do I need to prove to your brother? Or do you think you'd be happy if that Pei thing could beat me into a pig's head?"

Xiao Yi joked.

"Tsk... I didn't."

Xiao Wan shook her head.

"Why is that? Do you want to see Zheng..."

Xiao Yi realized something and blurted out.

"Brother Xiaoyi!"

Xiao Wan's expression changed slightly, and she interrupted him quickly, glancing at Xiao Tianhua out of the corner of her eye.

"I... I feel that the news of this challenge has already spread. This town is not big, and there are so many forces here. If you don't accept the challenge, many people will say that you are not brave enough and look down on you and the Xiao family..."

"Do you think I care about those comments?"

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow.

However, what Xiao Wan said did make some sense. He might not care about being looked down upon, but he could not ignore the reputation of the Xiao family.

"You don't care, but I do!"

Xiao Wan pursed her lips.

"Haha, why, if I don't accept the challenge, will it embarrass you?"

Xiao Yi said deliberately.

"Oh, no, it's..."

Xiao Wan hesitated.

She didn't want Xiao Yi to be tolerant, and she hoped that his reputation would be even greater.

Of course, if that happened, she, as the younger sister, would be more proud.

"What is it? Then you still want to see that person. That person definitely doesn't know that you are injured. If he knew, he would definitely come to see you."

Xiao Yi talked to himself.

"you……"

Xiao Wan gritted her teeth.

"Then who... who?"

Xiao Tianhua couldn't help but ask.

"Father, no one."

Xiao Wan hurriedly shook her head. Seeing that Xiao Tianhua didn't believe her, she began to show some pain again.

"Since you haven't fully recovered, why don't you continue practicing?"

Xiao Tianhua helped Xiao Wan sit down, complaining a little.

The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched. My goodness, Xiao Wan's acting skills were simply terrible.

And Xiao Tianhua, no matter how powerful he is, he tends to lose his "reason" when facing the "little cotton jacket".

"Xiaoyi, I think you have to accept the challenge."

Xiao Wantang spoke.

"Mother……"

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Wantang, somewhat puzzled.

"I know you don't care about some things, including the Tianjiao Ranking, but looking at the current situation, I think you should add more fuel to your fire and make yourself more popular."

Xiao Wantang said seriously.

Xiao Yi blinked, thinking about something.

"Your mother's intention is more about considering the next action."

Xiao Tianhua continued.

"The more famous you are now, the more opportunities you will have to publicly demonstrate your strength. The results will definitely be more beneficial than harmful!"

Xiao Yi nodded slightly. A big tree is more likely to attract the wind, but if you think about it from another angle, it can also eliminate some unnecessary troubles and may even attract more alliance forces like before.

"As far as I know, Hong Taikang is plotting something, and it's definitely not all for the Donghuang Bell."

Xiao Tianhua said seriously.

"I understand."

Xiao Yi nodded slightly.

In other words, compared to the Donghuang Bell, the more urgent thing for the Xiao family right now is to seek more alliance forces.

He may not care about the Hong family, but if the Hong family really joined forces with other forces, even if he still didn't care, he still had to consider the Xiao family.

He couldn't take the risk, so tomorrow's challenge was not to defeat Pei Tianrui, or to prove that he had the ability to enter the top three of the Tianjiao list, but it had a deeper meaning...

Tonight is another quiet night.

Many forces seemed to have grasped the rules, and there were very few strong people entering the mountain. The entire ancient town became much calmer again...
