Xiao Bing stood by the river with Ye Xiaoxi in his arms. The cool breeze blew gently on them, and Ye Xiaoxi's hair fluttered in the breeze.
"Brother Bing, do you have any dreams?"
"Dreams?" Xiao Bing thought for a moment. Suddenly, he saw a small piece of wood nearby. It was barely big enough for one person to step on it. He ran over and picked it up. Noticing Ye Xiaoxi's blank expression, Xiao Bing smiled and suddenly threw the piece of wood away.
The plank floated on the river. Xiao Bing leaped five or six meters away and landed on the plank. With a snap, the plank sank slightly into the river. Xiao Bing flew back to Ye Xiaoxi's side with the help of this force and held her in his arms.
Ye Xiaoxi clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Is this Lightness Skill?"
Xiao Bing shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not all. Did you see that when I stepped on the plank, I could barely use it as leverage. The plank sank and then floated up again. If I kept stepping on the plank, I'm afraid that my whole body would sink into the river with it."
"What?" Ye Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Bing eagerly and asked, "What does this have to do with your dream?"
Xiao Bing pointed to the other side of the river and said with a smile, "My dream is that one day I can hold you in my arms and cross the river by stepping on a small piece of wood!"
Ye Xiaoxi was dumbfounded.
"Don't you think it's incredible? Legend has it that when Bodhidharma was preparing to cross the Yangtze River, he didn't take a boat. Instead, he picked a reed on the shore and stepped on it to cross the river. This is the famous story of crossing the river on a reed. When one reaches the realm of transcendence, he is beyond the scope of mortals and can even be called a god. "
"The so-called gods don't necessarily exist in another world. They may not be flying in the sky on colorful clouds like in the legends. Those are just myths and legends made up by ancient scholars. But it's not impossible for humans to create such miracles with the help of the grass and trees around you. When you are a human, but you can do things that mortals can't imagine. What's the difference between you and a god?"
Ye Xiaoxi asked, "So, your dream is to become a legendary god?"
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "I have been pursuing the highest level of martial arts all my life. After Peiya's death, that desire became stronger. Now that I have you, I can't let the tragedy happen again. I want to protect the people around me. What should I do? You can only become the strongest one. "
Xiao Bing clenched his fists. There were still more than three months before his power would be sealed. After three months, Xiao Bing would be able to regain his former strength. Because of his recent understanding, Xiao Bing thought that he was stronger than when he was at his peak after the seal was lifted.
"Brother Bing, hold me and fly."
"Alright, let's fly."
Xiao Bing smiled and flew into the woods with Ye Xiaoxi in his arms. His two legs kept stepping on the trees to push forward. However, because most of the power in his body had been sealed, Xiao Bing's current strength was less than one-tenth of his peak state. Compared with his peak state, Xiao Bing had a breakthrough in his state of mind.
It was like a powerful hero had transmigrated into the body of a five or six-year-old child. Even if the child had extraordinary understanding of martial arts, his strength was less than one-tenth of that of an adult. If he met an adult, he would still be beaten. That was what Xiao Bing was now.
Although he could still use his strength and skills to step on the trees in the woods, it was not as easy as before. His breathing was also vaguely heavy.
After Xiao Bing flew away with Ye Xiaoxi in his arms, a skinny old man with almost bald hair sat in a black car under the night sky. A young man in black sitting next to him asked, "Mr. Zhuge, they have all left. Shall we also drive back?"
The old man looked more than 80 years old. He was holding a crutch in his hand. His body was trembling, but there was a strange look in his eyes. "Is this Xiao Bing? Don't underestimate him … "
The young man looked in the direction where Xiao Bing went. There was some dissatisfaction in his eyes, but when he looked at the old man, his eyes were full of respect. Because he knew that even his adoptive father, Lord Long, respected this old man who seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Lord Long even said that his other three brothers were the sharp blades in his hands, and Zhuge Jiangnan was his brain. One represented the highest force, and the other represented the highest wisdom. Both were indispensable.
This young man was Lord Long's adopted son many years ago. He was given the name Long Xiaofei by Lord Long. He and Second Master Long's son, Long Xiaoyun, were of the same generation. From this, it could be seen that Lord Long had high hopes for him.
Long Xiaoyun's death was beneficial to Long Xiaofei. In terms of ability, Long Xiaofei was superior to Long Xiaoyun in almost all aspects. The only difference was that he was not a blood relative of the Long family, so his status was much lower than Long Xiaoyun's. Long Xiaoyun had never looked him in the eye. In Long Xiaoyun's eyes, Long Xiaofei was just a servant of the Long family.
But Long Xiaoyun was now dead. Lord Long had no children, and Long Yan had no other children. So so far, Long Xiaofei had become a very special person in the Long family. If one day Lord Long became old and could not manage the whole Long family, Long Xiaofei, who was about the same age as Lord Long, could only inherit the huge business of the Long family. So Long Xiaofei, who was not related by blood, became the most reasonable successor of the Long family in the future.
Even so, Long Xiaofei was not arrogant or rash. He worked hard as before and faithfully completed every task assigned to him by his adoptive father. In addition, he had reached the Transforming Strength Stage at a young age. He was a rare martial arts genius. So after Long Xiaoyun's death, other people in the Long family had vaguely regarded him as the future successor of Lord Long.
Long Xiaofei retracted his gaze and asked, "Sir, you just glanced at him. How do you know that he can't be underestimated?"
Zhuge Jiangnan laughed and said, "I was secretly observing him just now. You were also observing him. What did you find?"
Long Xiaofei's spirit was lifted. He knew that the old man was testing him. He thought carefully and made sure that he did not miss anything. Then he said, "First, the relationship between Xiao Bing and Ye Xiaoxi is close. It seems that the rumor is true. Although the real stumbling block in Hei Province is Jiang Zihou, Xiao Bing should not be underestimated when he has the financial backing of the Ye family."
"Secondly, Xiao Bing's strength should be very strong. Although I haven't seen him fight, according to my observation, his strength should have reached the Transforming Strength Stage, according to the way he leaped through the forest."
"As for the rest, I didn't find anything."
Zhuge Jiangnan smiled slightly and said, "Good. It's not easy for you to observe these two points from a distance. But you didn't find the most important thing."
"The most important thing?" Long Xiaofei looked puzzled and asked, "What is it?"
Zhuge Jiangnan leaned on his crutch and retracted his gaze. He gently leaned on the seat and closed his eyes. He said slowly, "When most people observe a person, they first look at his appearance, and then pay attention to his speech and clothes. Basically, they can see whether he is a person of quality, whether he is well-educated, and what his identity is. This is the first kind. "
"When a small number of people observe a person, they pay attention to that person's eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul. Through a person's eyes, you can see many things that you can't see from the outside. Whether a person is sincere or not, whether a person is full of wisdom, these can all be seen from the eyes."
"I don't use these two methods to observe a person."
Long Xiaofei listened patiently beside him.
"Everyone has a very special thing in their bodies. It's called Qi."
"Qi?"
"That's right. Domineering Qi, submissive Qi, petty Qi, heroic Qi, ambitious Qi, murderous Qi of a killer, sharp Qi of a master, murderous Qi of a murderer … There are all kinds of Qi. Through these, you can see a person. "
Long Xiaofei frowned and shook his head. He asked, "Old man, how can you see these?"
"You won't understand even if I tell you. You are still too young. You need the accumulation of time to continue to understand. I said that Xiao Bing was different because I sensed two powerful breaths in him. Both of them were the most powerful breaths in him. Heroic Qi and Fierce Qi! "
Long Xiaofei said in surprise, "A hero is a hero, and a fierce Qi is a fierce Qi. How can a person be both a hero and a fierce Qi? I don't understand. "
Zhuge Jiangnan said, "For example, Liu Bei in ancient times. He was the representative of a fierce Qi and a hero. What is a hero? Those with outstanding intelligence are called heroes; those with outstanding courage are called heroes. A hero has the lofty ambition to reach the clouds, the momentum to conquer the mountains and rivers, the capacity of the nine states, and the breadth of the four seas! He shouldered justice, saved the people from disaster, and solved the people's difficulties. This is a hero. I happened to see the Qi of a hero in Xiao Bing. "
"A fierce Qi, those who obey me will live, and those who oppose me will die. With my heart to the four seas, with my ambition to the whole people, I am unstoppable. "
"A hero is for justice, but not necessarily ambitious. A fierce Qi is full of ambition and swallows the world. If Xiao Bing is the former, although he is terrible, he is not terrible. Because although a hero has power, he has flaws. They are responsible for justice and the people, so they are often a bit more soft-hearted. If Xiao Bing is a fierce Qi, he is also terrible, but also has his weakness. A fierce Qi will do anything for his ambition. Sometimes ambition can make people extremely powerful, but it can also be a fatal weakness. "
Zhuge Jiangnan sighed, "But he has both, which I have never seen in my life. This is a little scary. Let's go back and have a look at his noodle house tomorrow. "
Long Xiaofei felt that Zhuge Jiangnan's words were very mysterious. If his adoptive father did not admire Zhuge Jiangnan so much, he would have refuted. In addition, he observed that Xiao Bing might not be stronger than him. After all, he had also reached the Transforming Strength Stage. So he was quite dissatisfied. But he still drove back the way they came and went to the place where he lived.
