Just then, the wind in Taboo Land rose again, and Qing Chen said softly to the old man behind him, "Old Master, my ntor said it's great to see you again, welco to the Knight's House."
In this cold winter season, the old man suddenly felt a warm breeze wrap around his hands, as if greeting a long-lost friend.
The old man smiled, "I have co late."
After speaking, the old man seed to have resolved another concern; the weight on his heart lessened, and his entire being wilted completely.
The faint breath, like a candle in the wind, could extinguish at any mont.
Qing Chen glanced into the depths of Taboo Land, "I must leave first, elders, there are still tasks unfinished."
Saying this, he resolutely walked towards the green mountain cliffs, striding vigorously.
The old man chuckled on his back, "Going to see your disciple beco a Knight?"
"No," Qing Chen said, "you will know soon."
With that, he broke into a sprint.
The youth felt the life fading from the old man, he had to race against ti.
When Qing Chen reached the green mountain cliffs, Li Ke had already climbed to a height of 361 ters and was taking out his dagger to carve his na on the rock face.
Initially, Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke did not understand why Qing Chen had asked them to bring a dagger.
But when they saw the nurous nas on the green mountain cliffs, they understood.
Just like, Qing Chen hadn't told them why they were to head west all along, but it all beca clear once they reached the green mountain cliffs.
At that mont, Hu Xiaoniu was still at 271 ters, struggling to climb up.
To complete this life-and-death challenge, the difficulties Hu Xiaoniu faced were beyond imagination because he lacked the introspective ordeal, and the white fruit's aid was very minimal.
Thus, he had to, like the original Ancestor of Knight, use more ti and greater perseverance.
More resolute will, unparalleled courage.
Back then, the ancestors didn't have Breathing Technique, didn't have white fruits, yet they still had to challenge a 600-ter cliff.
Qing Chen could imagine the difficult circumstances under which the ancestors transford.
However, Qing Chen did not look at Hu Xiaoniu again.
This had never been a smooth path, throughout thousands of years, countless people had died upon this road.
Hu Xiaoniu might beco one of the many who failed, but he could also grit his teeth and be one of the successful ones.
Qing Chen ca to the foot of the green mountain cliffs, carefully tying the rope that bound the old man in a sleeping bag.
He checked three tis.
The old man weakly asked, "What are you going to do?"
Yet saw Qing Chen climb resolutely towards the heavens above, calmly speaking, "I have decided to carry you up the green mountain cliffs... actually, from the mont we left Autumn Leaf Courtyard, I made this decision."
The old man was stunned, he had never imagined that one day he too could climb the green mountain cliffs.
The place he had dread of climbing countless tis.
He was too old.
His energy was lacking, always forgetting things.
His physical strength was also lacking, slightly speaking a few words would make him feel tired.
The old man had dedicated his entire life to the clan and its future generations, not even daring to hope that he could see the sunrise from the green mountain cliffs.
But just when he no longer harbored any hopes,
The youth was carrying him, climbing bit by bit upward, determined to help him fulfill his final wish in this definitive manner.
"Actually, you don't have to do this," the old man sighed, "You're just a D-class Superhuman, the burden I cause you will be bigger than you imagine. I also practiced rock climbing, I know very well that the most important aspects are the center of gravity and support points, so carrying , you can only use finger-sized footholds, while my weight drags on you, as if to pull you into the abyss."
The old man now weighed only 120 pounds, very light for a man.
But the burden of rock climbing is not simply arithtic.
With the center of gravity shifting away from the cliff, Qing Chen would need several tis the strength and courage to complete this life-and-death challenge.
The old man's life-and-death challenge.
"Give up," the old man said, "there's no need to risk this for ."
"I've been thinking, ever since coming to the Inner World, my master and you have always done a lot for , yet I have done little for you," Qing Chen stubbornly said, "Every ti I think about this, I feel sowhat ashad. So, helping you fulfill a wish can also bring so peace to my heart."
Sotis Qing Chen thought, in the Outer World he was just a kid with no one to rely on, feeling the cold of the world.
However, since arriving in the Inner World, he has repeatedly encountered unexpected warmth.
If he had the chance, he would still want to sit by Dragon Lake with the old man, fishing and listening to his stories of the past.
If he had the chance, he would even want to play chess with his master, Uncle Li Dong, in prison.
The Inner World was suddenly a bit more endearing because of these few individuals.
The old man said again, "Qing Chen, give up."
Qing Chen's figure did not halt, and he continued climbing upward, calmly speaking to the old man, "The reason the Knights dare to embark on this path fraught with death is because of their relentless courage, a decision made is irreversible, and there are no regrets in a move made!"
The old man fell silent.
He watched familiar na after na passed by Qing Chen.
Qing Chen.
Uncle Li Dong.
Li Yingyun.
Qin Sheng.
