Papa Paladin

  When Zuo Yi just returned from the world of Sadya, this three-story villa was deserted for three years. After returning, he lived here alone.

   Then there was Bao\'er, Fang Yonghe, and then Gu Yunxi...

  The people gathered in the old house tonight are Chen Wan, Gu Kai and Zhang Yun, Zhang Yaoming, Shang Yulin and Wang Jiaojiao.

  Including Xia Yunqi and Alizee who was brought back by Zuo Yi, there are twelve people in total, and a large table is full.

  As a foreign visitor and Zuo Yi\'s new student, Alizee received a warm welcome from everyone.

  Fang Yonghe tried his best, and with the help of Gu Yunxi and Chen Wan, he cooked a table of delicious food.

  Today is not a special day, just a reunion for everyone.

"cheers!"

  At Fang Yonghe\'s suggestion, everyone cheered together, and the atmosphere became more lively.

   "Master, I offer you a toast."

  Wang Jiaojiao held the red wine glass and said to Zuo Yi tenderly: "You can\'t forget the old ones when you have new ones, and forget the old apprentices when you have new students."

  She is already a sophomore. Due to her busy schedule and the fact that Zuo Yi doesn\'t go to the Tianhong Martial Arts Center very often, she seldom sees Zuo Yi, the master, during this period of time.

  Therefore, there was a hint of resentment in his tone, and those who didn\'t know him thought he was abandoned by Zuo Yi.

  Everyone couldn\'t help laughing.

  Zuo Yi tapped Wang Jiaojiao on the head: "Naughty."

   To be honest, in the past year, Zuo Yi has really neglected Tianhong Martial Arts. Although Wang Jiaojiao is his apprentice, she usually studies with Shang Yulin, and the number of times she personally gives instructions is very small.

  But when the new martial arts hall is completed early next year, the situation will be different. He will focus part of his work on the new martial arts hall to promote and spread his martial arts and ideas.

   At that time, several apprentices will naturally get more guidance.

  In fact, compared to Zuo Yi\'s other apprentice Sun Qiang, Wang Jiaojiao is very lucky, at least she can still see Zuo Yi if she wants to.

  Sun Qiang went abroad with his parents after the summer vacation, because his father was sent to work in Europe, and it would take at least four or five years before he came back, so he could only study in Europe during this time.

  The little fat man didn’t want to go, but his parents insisted that he go out with him, so in the end Sun Qiang cried and bid farewell to Zuo Yi, expressing that he would continue to be Zuo Yi’s apprentice when he came back.

  Zuo Yi encouraged him a few words, let him continue to exercise and study abroad.

  Although Sun Qiang left, more and more people appeared beside Zuo Yi, and he still liked the lively atmosphere now.

  Only after experiencing real loneliness and loneliness, can you understand the happiness of being accompanied by relatives and friends!

   After the lively dinner, Gu Kai, Zhang Yaoming, Chen Wan and Wang Jiaojiao left first, Gu Yunxi and Fang Yonghe cleaned up the housework together, Zuo Yi and Shang Yulin went to the study to discuss matters related to the Budokan.

  The new Tianhong Martial Arts Hall built in the former factory area of ​​Linjiang Town has been successfully topped, and the main project has been basically completed. It is currently in the stage of exterior and interior decoration and layout, and there will be no problems when it opens early next year.

  According to the plan, the first batch of new Tianhong Martial Arts Hall will recruit 3,000 new students, and the corresponding work must be carried out in advance. For Shang Yulin, who had only managed a few dozen students at most before, this will undoubtedly be a great test.

  Arrangement of the enrollment publicity plan, recruitment of new martial arts gym managers and new mentors, etc., kept Shang Yulin extremely busy, and during this time, he lost several catties.

  Since the entire project of the New Budokan and the plan of New Tianhong came from Zuo Yi, it was impossible for him to be a complete hands-off shopkeeper, so he had to spare some time and energy to help Shang Yulin.

   While the adults are busy, Baoer takes her girlfriends and friends, as well as the young lady she just met, to her own secret world.

The path leading to the depths of the forest is winding, and the winding stream beside it is gurgling. Although it is already night, the moonlight falling from the gaps in the dense canopy and the fireflies flying on the grass make this path not at all gloomy. Feel.

  Alizee felt like Alice in a fairy tale, who had just stepped into the legendary dream land.

  She opened her eyes wide and looked around, and was led by Bao\'er to the front of a towering giant tree.

  Alizee was shocked immediately.

  She has never seen such a huge tree. The height of tens of meters stretches out the canopy that blocks the sky and the sun. Thousands of vine roots hang down.

  What surprised the thirteen-year-old girl was that she had a strange feeling about this giant tree, as if there was some kind of fetter and connection between the two parties, and a feeling of intimacy spontaneously arose.

   "Sister Alizee..."

  Boer enthusiastically introduced to Alizee: "This is Baoshu, it is my good friend just like Artest!"

  The huge canopy of the treasure tree swayed gently, and the leaves rubbed against each other to make a "rustling" sound, which was a response to Bao\'er and a welcome to Alizee.

   Bao\'er clapped her hands and laughed, "Baoshu is greeting you!"

  Alizee showed an awkward yet polite smile, and waved at Baoshu: "Hi."

  Feeling a little silly.

  喵～

  At this moment, accompanied by a sharp cry, a black figure suddenly appeared above them.

"Danger!"

  Alizee turned pale with fright, instinctively pulled out the dagger, and protected Bao\'er and Qiqi at the same time.

  She looked up and saw a griffin falling from the sky!

   "Sister Alizee."

  Bao Er hurriedly pulled her dress and explained: "This is Ah Jiu, and it is also my good friend."

"Uh…"

  Alizee didn\'t stab the dagger, because she already felt that the griffin was not hostile at all, and it was retracting its wings and landing steadily beside Bao\'er.

   "Ah Jiu."

   Bao\'er reached out and touched Ah Jiu\'s drooping head, and said, "Let me introduce you, she is sister Alizee."

  嘿～

   Ah Jiu let out a low cry, and shook his head at Alizee.

  Alizee secretly hid the dagger back and waved at the griffin: "Hi..."

   "Boa, here I come!"

   As a result, before she could finish her sentence, a budgerigar swooped down with flapping wings, landed on the little girl\'s shoulder, and rubbed against the latter\'s neck intimately.

   Bao\'er giggled: "Sister Alizee, this is Pipi, and it\'s also..."

"your good friend!"

  Alizee has learned to answer quickly!

  Alizee suddenly felt a deep envy for the little girl, because she not only has a father and mother who dote on her, but also has so many friends and partners.

  Bao Er is the real Child of Destiny!
