Quick Wear: Boss, please stop being so high

Suddenly, a childish voice came from the front:

"Who?!"

A little boy in ragged clothes stood vigilantly in front of the pavilion.

"Little boy, you ask who I am?" Shi Jin quietly appeared behind the little boy and said, "I haven't been home for many years. I didn't even know when a child like you appeared in this mansion."

The little boy turned around and wanted to run, but he was just a child after all, how could he be faster than an adult, let alone an old fox like Shi Jin?

Shi Jin shook his head, used his magic power to freeze the little boy, then turned and walked into the pavilion.

After looking around, Shi Jin stepped out, walked up to the little boy and asked, "Where is your mother?"

The little boy's eyes turned red, and he opened his mouth to speak, but found that he couldn't make any sound. He suddenly looked up and glared at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin understood. It seemed that he had accidentally cast both the immobilization spell and the silencing spell. There was no other way. Although this plane was an intermediate plane, it was still far inferior to the advanced planes.

Shi Jin lifted the silencing spell without changing his expression, cast a cleaning spell on the stone table next to him, then sat down and took out his tea. (′??w??｀)

The little boy tried and found that he could speak again. He looked at Shi Jin hesitantly and said:

"You... are the legendary Imperial Master? My mother... she is no longer with us."

"Condolences."

"Do you know who your mother is?"

Looking at the face in front of him that was somewhat similar to Nalan Changge, but still a little childish, Shi Jin asked softly.

The little boy was stunned and shook his head.

"Mother never said she had any special identity, but... there are always bad people who want to hurt her. No matter where we hide, we will be found.

In order to protect Mom, Dad was captured by the bad guys.

It was not until later that a kind-hearted person showed me the way and allowed my mother and I to hide in the Imperial Master’s Mansion that the bad guys gradually disappeared.”

Hearing this, Shi Jin raised his hand and touched the little boy's head and said:

"What is your name?"

"My name is Lan Gui."

Xiao Lan Gui answered Shi Jin's question obediently.

Perhaps it was because he knew that the person in front of him had no ill will towards him, and in a sense was his former savior, Xiao Langui looked at Shi Jin with some kindness in his eyes.

Shi Jin nodded and said:

"Lan Gui, your mother is the aunt of the current emperor and the elder sister of the Regent.

And your father is the eldest son of the Right Prime Minister.

The father of the current emperor, the late emperor who was killed by the regent, was the one who hunted down your parents.

Perhaps it won’t be long before the current emperor starts sending people to hunt you down again.”

Xiaolan was at a loss and said:

"How could that be? My mother and father never told me..."

"Master Imperial Master, I..."

Shi Jin looked at the child in front of him who was only 8 or 9 years old, and in a trance he seemed to see the helpless Nalan Changge of the past.

He thought about it, and finally said:

“You have two choices now.

First, I will send you to the Regent, who has been looking for you and your mother. Now that you are back, he will definitely train you well, and one day, you may be able to avenge your parents.

Second, abandon the cause and effect of this mundane world and practice with me. You are gifted, intelligent, and have a good connection with the Tao, so you will surely gain something.

The choice is yours. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Gui replied: "I choose the first one!"

Shi Jin asked: "Why?"

Lan Gui said firmly:

"I don't know what is the great way and what is the mortal world, but I know that my mother hopes that I can go back. It's hard to go back. Maybe my real name is Nalan Gui."
