Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Di Hong was sitting on the roof drinking wine. When he heard the sound, he looked back and said with a smile: "Brother Lin Bai."

Lin Bai sat next to Di Hong. Di Hong took out a bottle of wine from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai took a sip. The wine in the flask was particularly spicy and irritating to his throat.

After a moment of silence, Di Hong said bitterly: "Qingqing's mother and I met in the Tianji Mountains. At that time, I was a demon hunter who made a living by hunting monsters in the Tianji Mountains."

"And Qingqing's mother is a high-ranking member of the Ji family, a direct lineage!"

"She is talented, intelligent, and beautiful, and her martial spirit is extremely high, reaching the ninth level of heaven."

"As for me, I am an earth-level eighth-grade martial soul, a dull boy with an ordinary appearance. I only know how to kill a few monsters in exchange for some training resources."

"Logically speaking, she and I are from two different worlds and there is no way we can be together."

Di Hong drank wine and said with a silly smile.

Lin Bai sat next to him, smiling slightly, but did not speak.

Di Hong said: "But, among the thousands of suitors in the Tailing Realm, her mother took a fancy to me. It really makes me happy and worried at the same time..."

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "Worried?"

Di Hong said with a smile: "Yes, I'm worried. You said that for such a proud girl, the people who pursue her are queuing up from the Tailing Domain to the Dongshan Domain. She suddenly fell in love with a silly boy like me. I can Aren’t you worried?”

"However, I was still impressed by her tenderness. I vowed that I would hunt down monsters with all my strength, earn many, many spiritual stones, and give her and my daughter a happy future."

"When the Ji family heard the news that we were together, they strongly opposed it. At that time, they even threatened to deprive her of her qualification to become a disciple of Dongzhou Academy."

"But she is a very stubborn woman. I asked you to go to Dongzhou Academy, but she said...I went, what should you do?"

"She didn't go. She gave up her qualification to go to Dongzhou Academy."

"Later, when the Ji family saw that they could no longer stop us, they finally compromised and allowed me to marry into the Ji family, and then we had Qingqing."

Di Hong said with a smile.

Lin Bai asked curiously: "By the way, I haven't seen it yet..."

"She is dead." Di Hong said sadly.

Lin Bai was stunned.

Di Hong said: "When Qingqing was only nine years old, I went hunting monsters with her in the Tianji Mountains, but we were attacked by warriors from the Li family. In the end, she died in the hands of the warriors from the Li family in order to protect me."

Lin Bai said: "No wonder there was such a strong chill in Ji Qingqing's body when she mentioned the Li family today."

Di Hong sighed softly and said, "She gave up her qualification to go to Dongzhou Academy and her great future for me. The Ji family has been complaining about her for this matter."

"And after her death, Qingqing also received a lot of looks and insults from the Ji family, which led to the growing gap between Qingqing and me."

"Actually, Qingqing's temperament is not bad."

Di Hong said calmly.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. We are not bad. What is bad is the world."

When he said this, Di Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Lin Bai and said, "Brother Lin Bai, I remember that you are going to Dongzhou Academy, right?"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "I came here to tell you about this matter. I plan to leave the Tailing Realm tomorrow and go to Dongzhou Academy."

Di Hong immediately clasped his fists solemnly and said: "Little brother Lin Bai, I have another unkind request. I also ask little brother Lin Bai to agree to it."

Lin Bai looked at Di Hong with a frown and said, "What's the matter?"

Di Hong said: "Brother Lin Bai, I would like to ask you to go to Dongzhou Academy with the warriors of the Ji family. When you arrive at Dongzhou Academy, help me take care of Ji Qingqing."

"Even if she can't be admitted to Dongzhou Academy, I don't want her to be harmed."

"If little brother Lin Bai can promise me, this inner armor of the black-armored rhinoceros beast will be my reward."

Di Hong took out the inner armor from the storage bag and handed it to Lin Bai. He looked at Lin Bai expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Originally, Lin Bai did not want to go to Dongzhou Academy with the warriors of the Ji family, but when he saw Di Hong's request, Lin Bai hesitated.

Seeing Lin Bai's hesitation, Di Hong said, "Little brother, I know you are very strong. Even if you don't go to Dongzhou Academy with the Ji family warriors, you can still go to Dongzhou Academy alone."

"But little brother, I'm asking for this..., please!"

Di Hong immediately knelt on his knees in front of Lin Bai.

"Brother Di Hong, what are you doing?" Lin Bai hurriedly helped Di Hong up from the ground.

"Brother Di Hong, you don't have to do this. You just follow the warriors of the Ji family to Dongzhou Academy. I promise you that."

"As for the assessment in Dongzhou Academy, if I have the ability to protect Ji Qingqing's safety, then I will naturally not watch her get hurt!"

After Lin Bai helped Di Hong up from the ground, he said helplessly.

A man who was almost sixty years old knelt down in front of Lin Bai. This scene was difficult for Lin Bai to accept.

Moreover, this was a request from a father, and Lin Bai refused without words.

"You agreed." Di Hong said happily: "Okay, you accept this leather armor."

Lin Bai looked at the leather armor, which was refined by Di Hong for Ji Qingqing. Lin Bai pondered for a moment and said, "I can accept the leather armor, but I don't know how to use it. When I get to Dongzhou Academy, I will Find a suitable opportunity to transfer the leather armor to Ji Qingqing."

When Di Hong heard Lin Bai's words, he immediately showed a hint of joy on his face and said gratefully: "Brother Lin Bai, I really don't know what to say. Thousands of words can be gathered into one sentence... Thank you very much!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Lin Bai then drank and chatted with Di Hong on the roof for a long time.

It wasn't until the sun rose on the second day that Lin Bai said goodbye to Di Hong.

After returning to his residence, Lin Bai sat down cross-legged and continued to practice. He sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't want to go to Dongzhou Academy with the Ji family warriors. Since Brother Di Hong asked me to, let's go together."

"Brother Di Hong saved my life in the Tianji Mountains. If it hadn't been for him, I might have been eaten by the giant beasts in the Tianji Mountains."

"And this is another father's prayer...I can't refuse!"

"The key is that Brother Di Hong is still a good person, so I can't refuse."

Lin Bai sat in the room and said with a wry smile.

"Ji Qingqing..." When Lin Bai thought of this woman, the scenes that happened in the Ji family master's house still appeared in Lin Bai's mind. This woman, as Yang San and others said, was too much.

If it weren't for Di Hong, Lin Bai wouldn't have even looked at this kind of woman!
