Path of the Elven Master

Early the next morning, after enjoying the breakfast prepared by Ye Zihua, Ding Zhi and his party arrived at the foot of Mount Miyazaki.

"Speaking of which, this is my first time going to this mountain." Ding Mao said while looking around at the scenery.

"Huh? This mountain is near Xinfeng Town. Ding Zhi, why haven't you been here before?" Yum asked curiously.

"Uh, this..."

The expression on Ding Mao's face was stagnant. He was just about to deal with it casually, but Ding Zhi exposed him: "Because this guy is a lazy young man, how could he think of climbing a mountain?"

"Is that so? Although Ding Mao's mouth is a little twitchy, he doesn't look like a young master?" Yum became even more puzzled.

"Hey! Ding Zhi, can you please stop mentioning the past!" Ding Zhi's face turned a little red, "I am completely different now! Let's just focus on finding Master Shi Jian!"

But as it approached noon, no one saw Shi Jian's figure. Xiaoxiao, who was holding Manafei, couldn't hold on anymore and sat down on the ground: "No, I can't walk anymore. Let's take a rest."

"I agree!"

"Same as above!"

As if being infected by Xiaoxiao, Ding Zhi and Yum Sheng also stopped insisting and sat down on the ground panting, rubbing their sore ankles.

"Keep on holding on." Ding Zhi encouraged, "I remember there is a meatball shop not far ahead. We can rest when we get there."

"But I really can't walk anymore"

Ding Mao and Yum Sheng were okay. After all, they were both boys with strong self-esteem. When Ding Zhi was provoked, they gritted their teeth and got up. But Xiaoxiao didn't have so many worries and refused to move no matter what.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be like this, Manafei is watching you." In desperation, Ding Zhi had no choice but to move Manafei out.

Originally, he hoped that Xiaoxiao could set a good example in front of Manafei, but who knew that Xiaoxiao instead said plausibly: "It's not just me who can't walk alone, Manafei is also tired, right? Manafei?"

"Mana..."

Manafei was held by Xiaoxiao all the way, so there was no way she would be tired. However, after making contact with Xiaoxiao's warning eyes, she could only nod her head hesitantly.

"If you do this again, will we leave you here alone?" Ding Zhi deliberately scared her.

Unfortunately, I don’t know whether Xiaoxiao was brave or whether she concluded that Ding Zhi would not do this. Xiaoxiao just hugged Manafei tightly in her arms and said very calmly: "Okay, anyway, I have Manafei to accompany me." That’s enough for me.”

"Okay, let's do this." Ding Zhi knelt down and turned his back to Xiaoxiao, "Then I'll carry you there, come up."

Ding Zhi was too lazy to continue arguing because he was also hungry. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to get to the meatball shop early to eat.

"You, what are you talking about!" Xiaoxiao blushed with embarrassment, "You, how can you carry me on your back!"

"Why not?" Ding Zhi turned around and frowned slightly, "Yum and Ding Zhi are both weak. If I don't carry you, who else can carry you? Don't worry, I won't think you are too heavy."

Hearing Ding Zhi's words, Xiaoxiao suddenly became angry. Girls are most taboo about others talking about her weight, but Ding Zhi accidentally ignored this.

In a fit of anger, Xiaoxiao abandoned her sense of shame and jumped directly onto Ding Zhi's back without even saying hello, almost knocking him to the ground.

"Really, could you please tell me before you come up? I was almost crushed to death by you." Ding Zhi complained in a low voice.

"What! You said just now that you don't despise someone else! You changed your mind just now!" Xiaoxiao was annoyed when she heard this, and then she tightly wrapped her arms around Ding Zhi's neck.

"Well, let go, I can't breathe!" Ding Zhi couldn't help shouting, "And I didn't say you were heavy, I just wanted you to remind me so I could be prepared."

"That doesn't even mean the same thing!"

Seeing that Ding Zhi was about to be strangled to death, Yum Sheng on the side had no choice but to persuade: "Sister, you can flirt if you want, but can you let your only brother solve the problem of food and clothing first?"

"Who, who is flirting with this guy!"

Xiaoxiao's already red face became even redder now, but she finally calmed down and quietly let Ding Zhi carry her on his way.

However, Ding Zhi began to have random thoughts, mainly because there were two soft balls pressing against his back, which made him feel unnatural all over.

Speaking of which, compared with Song Lina, who is bigger between these two people?

Inexplicably, Ding Zhi suddenly thought of Song Lina. The two girls were the same age, but their figures were...

Thinking of this, Ding Zhi quickly shook his head and stopped his random thoughts. Fortunately, after a while, the long-lost meatball shop appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the shadow of the meatball shop, everyone seemed to have seen a savior. They quickly rushed over and sat down on the bench outside the shop.

After putting Xiaoxiao down on his back, Ding Zhi looked around and felt a sense of nostalgia.

This was the first stop he and Pikachu made.

"Welcome, please forgive me for the poor hospitality in the shop."

At this moment, a short old woman walked out of the shop. Ding Zhi saw her and immediately went up to say hello: "Mother-in-law, long time no see. How are you lately?"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu also waved and said hello. He also liked the old lady very much. After all, she gave it a lot of meatballs back then.

"So it's Ding Zhi and Pikachu. Are you back from your trip?" Even after almost a year, the old woman still recognized them at first sight.

"Well, that's right." Ding Zhi nodded, "Mother-in-law, I would like to ask, have you ever heard that a man named Shi Jian is practicing nearby?"

"Shi Jian? I've never heard of him. What does he look like?" the old woman asked.

"What does he look like... he has dark skin, a spiky head, maybe shirtless?" Ding Zhi had not seen Shi Jian's appearance in person, but he still remembered the general features.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old woman's eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "Does his face look like a robber?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately confused. They actually said that the Four Heavenly Kings looked like robbers. This was too ridiculous.

"They should be quite similar." Ding Zhi nodded calmly. Looking back, Shi Jian's face was indeed not a good person's face.

Especially with his savage appearance, I'm afraid he will be stopped and questioned by Junsha as soon as he enters the city, right?

"If that's the case, I have someone here who fits these characteristics."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock, and then followed the old woman to the backyard of the meatball shop, where they saw a burly man chopping firewood.

"This, this person is!" Yum shouted with his eyes widened, "Isn't this one of the Four Heavenly Kings of China, an expert in the fighting system, Master Shi Jian!"

Not only Yum, but everyone else also looked in disbelief. Who would have thought that one of the majestic Four Heavenly Kings would actually be chopping firewood in this small shop?

Didn’t you say you came to practice on the mountain? !

Seeing that someone actually recognized him, Shi Jian suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, but the old woman said unceremoniously: "Humph, I don't care if he is a master or not. In my place, if you want to eat without paying, you have to rely on Work as collateral!”

"Boy, am I right?" As she said that, the old woman glared at Shi Jian threateningly.

"Yes! Yes! What you always say is absolutely true! Everything is my fault. I will definitely work hard to repay the food!"

Seeing Shi Jian nodding in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice, this scene made Yum Sheng and others dumbfounded. Is this still the Four Heavenly Kings in their impression?

"Is it, is it possible!" A drop of cold sweat fell on Ding Mao's forehead, "That old woman is actually a worldly expert, and even Master Shi Jian is so afraid of her!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You'll know at this glance. Master Shi Jian forgot to bring money when he ate here, so he relied on work to pay for his meals." Ding Zhi was speechless, but Ding Mao was thinking too much.

In fact, just as Ding Zhi said, although Shi Jian is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he likes to go into the mountains to practice when he has nothing to do. He is also careless and has lost his wallet countless times.

However, before Shi Jian could speak, Ding Mao shouted excitedly: "Don't say stupid things! Master Shi Jian is the Four Heavenly Kings! No matter how many people want to invite him to dinner, they can't! This kind of bastard... this Planting a small shop and having Master Shi Jian patronize it is a blessing that comes from three lifetime cultivation!"

"What's wrong with the Four Heavenly Kings?" Ding Zhi sneered at this statement, "The Four Heavenly Kings can eat without paying? Ding Mao, there is something wrong with your three views."

Before Ding Zhi could refute this time, Shi Jian spoke first: "Don't mention this matter anymore. Just like what this little brother said, it was indeed my fault that I forgot to bring money when I was eating. .”

After receiving Shi Jian's personal confirmation, Ding Mao and others were speechless. They always felt that the extremely powerful king in the legend was no different from ordinary people?

Ding Zhi has long been aware of this. After all, he has been in contact with Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze has always been arrogant towards other people, and Shi Jian should be the same way.

And even though Shi Jian looks like a vicious uncle, in fact he is only in his 20s, even younger than Zhou Ze. He was just born that way.

"Master Shi Jian, your moral character is really worth learning from!" Ding Mao first flattered him, and then asked, "We came to you specially this time, hoping that you can teach us the great secret technique! Please help us. !”

"Sorry, I never accept disciples." Shi Jian rubbed his head and refused with some embarrassment.

"Please don't say that. Ding Zhi and I are about to attend the newcomer conference. I beg you to train us well before then!"

With that said, Ding Mao actually bowed to Shi Jian, which immediately made Ding Zhi dumbfounded: "Hey, Ding Mao, where has your self-esteem gone? I must not remember that my childhood sweetheart is such a person."

"Ha, self-esteem?" Ding Mao laughed self-deprecatingly, "If you can't become stronger, what's the use of self-esteem? What's more, in front of a strong man like Master Shi Jian, it's worth doing this for me."

...isn't it?

In Ding Zhi's impression, Ding Mao has always been an extremely arrogant person. How could he bow down and ask for help? Could it be that the blow he received last time was too great?Or is it because he got the green badge that Ding Zhi did not get?

But no matter what, Ding Mao's heart has indeed changed, and he almost doesn't recognize Ding Zhi.

"Are you really willing to do anything?" Shi Jian asked seriously.

"Of course!"

Ding Mao answered him categorically, completely ignoring Ding Zhi's protest of "Don't drag me into this".

"In that case." Shi Jian suddenly smiled strangely and pointed to the pile of firewood in front of him, "The first step is to help me chop the firewood!"

"firewood?"

Looking at the pile of firewood in front of him like a hill, Ding Zhi's expression was a little stiff, but Ding Mao said cheerfully: "Okay! Cover it with us!"

Immediately, without saying a word, he took off his coat, picked up the ax and went on. Seeing that Ding Zhi was still stunned, he quickly urged: "Ding Zhi, what are you still doing? You can get the Four Heavenly Kings just by chopping some firewood." Where can I find such a good thing!"
