Even though she didn't know whether it was true or not, Shu Shuang was willing to accompany Xia Xiao to see it. The millet porridge on the table was steaming, but it had to be steaming alone for a long time.

The rain was still falling in the town, giving Xia Xiao an extremely fake feeling. Last night's rain was as cold as it is now, but last night's rain was a dream, and he didn't know if the current one was the same.

Because Xia Xiao is usually very focused and can be seen when he is distracted for a moment, Shu Shuang quickly noticed Xia Xiao's emotions and took the initiative to extend her hand.

The warmth in his palms made Xia Xiao feel at ease, as if he could face it calmly no matter what the outcome was. If that road really existed, he would take the initiative to go up the mountain and get closer to the top. He would definitely not succeed the first time, and he might fail the hundredth time, but he had to try. If it didn't exist, he would go back and concentrate on practicing! He longed for a road, but he never lacked one.

Shu Shuang is Xia Xiao's most accurate judgment standard. No matter how real the dream is, Shu Shuang never appears, like a representative of reality. With her, it is not unreal.

We walked across the wide meadow and came to the familiar pine tree. There was a bush at the foot of the pine tree, which completely hid the back of the tree and made it impossible to tell whether there was a road behind it.

Xia Xiao stretched out his hand, and it was immediately covered by the cool rain. The rain slid down, leaving behind a burst of coldness. He stretched out his hand, pushed aside the bushes, and looked at the scene behind.

Rainwater fell from the tip of the needles, forming a stream of water, which slid down and dripped onto the umbrella, forming a dense bead curtain under the umbrella. Behind the bead curtain, Shu Shuang stood there in a daze, and a vague large stone brick appeared in her clear eyes. Shu Shuang squinted her eyes, and was delighted when she saw it clearly.

Although Xia Xiao was looking forward to it, he was still more confused. But at this moment, ecstasy appeared on his face. Could this be the legendary... dream come true?

The wide stone bricks really existed, just like in the dream. Rainwater kept flowing around them, causing small fractures in the soil around the bricks.

Xia Xiao walked forward without even making eye contact with Shu Shuang, who followed closely behind him, holding a large red umbrella and shielding him from the rain between the trees.

Crouching down, Xia Xiao stretched out his fingers with reverence and touched the bricks. Last night, Xia Xiao used his feet to probe, which was a bit disrespectful. In comparison, using his hands seemed more respectful.

The veins on the back of his hands were covered with rainwater. When they touched the bricks and stones, Xia Xiao became even more excited and looked back at Shu Shuang.

“It really exists.”

Shu Shuang was happy for Xia Xiaoxi. Looking ahead, she could also see this road and couldn't help but say:

“Our paths are together.”

Xia Xiao finally reacted, his scalp tingling from being too excited. Compared to the road from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, the road in front of him was more representative of fate. This road was different from the road in Shu Shuang's peach forest. As long as the road under his and Shu Shuang's feet was not much different, their fates would be connected.

The teacher once said that everyone's path to the top of the mountain is different, and no one has the same path. But he and Shu Shuang are so intertwined that they are difficult to separate.

"Walk!"

It was the same habitual action again. Xia Xiao grabbed Shu Shuang's wrist and led her to run up the mountain along the stone bricks. No one knew where this road led to or where it would end, but they had the time and energy to run to the top of the mountain. Young people are always full of vigor and vitality, and they are least afraid of doing it again!

The big red umbrella had difficulty passing through the forest, so it stopped by the side of the road. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, using their vitality to hold up the increasingly light rain, continued to move forward.

A dark green pine forest, a mountain road like steps, winding like a snake, two people running on it, two birds flying in the sky.

"Since there really is a way, Xia Xiao is really lucky."

"It should be said that Shu Shuang is lucky."

Xiao Ran and Shu Shuang had the same personality. At this moment, they followed Ju Mang slowly, and happiness overflowed from their eyes. Leaving the forest was an extremely risky thing. She didn't know what kind of person Shu Shuang was, what kind of life she would experience following her, and she didn't even know Shu Shuang's talent for cultivation.

After signing the spiritual contract, the subject of the spiritual contract and the contracted beast are connected. She is of the eighth-level bloodline, which can help Shu Shuang speed up her own practice. However, if her talent for practice is really not high, it will be in vain.

After such a long time together, Xiao Ran was sure that she had made the right choice. Shu Shuang had now surpassed countless people and was even following Xia Xiao. Xiao Ran knew that Xia Xiao was special, and being on the same path with him was what she called luck.

In the Lanxi Spirit Bird tribe, both men and women are gentle, elegant, but often appear cowardly. Just for this reason, Xiao Ran looked down on many men of the Lanxi Spirit Bird. If you don't have enough blood, it will be difficult to achieve great things. Xia Xiao, who is rational and strong, is her ideal type, and Xia Xiao is also very loyal. She admires Xia Xiao and is happy for Shu Shuang, but why did they suddenly stop?

In the rain, Xia Xiao stood in front and Shu Shuang stood behind. Xia Xiao looked back at Shu Shuang with some worry on his face. Shu Shuang never let down her guard, so what happened?

"Shu Shuang?"

Xia Xiao called out her name, and seeing the dullness in her eyes, he asked:

"What's wrong?"

Shu Shuang was a little bit unbelievable. When she stepped forward, her foot landed on the ground and passed through the stone bricks in Xia Xiao's eyes.

"My journey ends here."

Shu Shuang looked pitiful, with a slightly cold face, and her eyes were full of worry and tears, and she was a little panicked. Was she hinting to herself that her peak was only here? Or was her fate to accompany Xia Xiao for a while, and then end it there?

Xia Xiao had never heard of the length of the mountain road, only the height distance. They were still in the pine forest, which meant it was just the starting point. How could Shu Shuang's road be interrupted?

Looking at the road ahead, Xia Xiao no longer moved forward, but walked back to Shu Shuang and held her hand.

"Let's go find the instructor."

"No, no, just keep climbing."

Shu Shuang was used to being sensible, and she pushed Xia Xiao, not wanting him to leave.

Mountain climbing is not about the accumulation of time, but about the perception of opportunity. The hundredth time you climb a mountain may not necessarily go farther than the first time, because there are more things in your mind, and you may even think that you have experience, but in fact it is just useless stuff. Therefore, Shu Shuang hoped that Xia Xiao would continue to climb, so that he could know his initial limit, but Xia Xiao picked her up and returned the same way!

“Really.”

Shu Shuang was stubborn, so Xia Xiao said:

"You need me right now. It would be selfish of me to just do my own thing."

Xia Xiao is indeed a selfish person. He has no ambition to save the world, and only thinks about his family. He is not unkind, but has his own principles, which is that he and his family must be safe. Otherwise, why would he do so much? But no matter how selfish he is, he will not abandon Shu Shuang, because she is his...the one he loves!

To be honest, Xia Xiao wanted to continue climbing the mountain. He couldn't wait to try it. It seemed that once he went down, the mountain road would disappear, but he knew that Shu Shuang was more important. He couldn't use life and death to prove his care and love for her. That way was too risky. He cherished his life more than anyone else, so in every aspect of life, he had to tell Shu Shuang that he cared about her!

Xia Xiao put Shu Shuang down and this time he held the umbrella for her.

"Don't worry, if you can't make it to the top of the mountain, I'll come back to find you."

Xia Xiao must go to the top of the mountain. He must find the answer he wants. He is sure of this. But he will not indulge in the top of the mountain. Although he has not yet reached the top, he may imagine the feeling of looking down on all the mountains, but he will not go any higher! Xia Xiao knows himself very well. He can definitely do what he wants to do!

Holding Xia Xiao's arm, Shu Shuang was afraid that he would leave. She didn't know why her path was cut off, but this ominous sign must mean that something was going to happen. She was moved by Xia Xiao's words, but that was not what she wanted most. Shu Shuang wanted to accompany Xia Xiao to the top of the mountain, even to the top of the cloud, rather than letting him come down to accompany her. The last thing Shu Shuang wanted to do was to be a burden! She had been working hard all along to avoid that kind of situation.

Thinking of this, Shu Shuang burst into tears out of grievance and hugged Xia Xiao's arm even harder.

"I don't want to leave you."

Shu Shuang was afraid of being separated from Xia Xiao, and her crying voice made the latter feel distressed.

"No."

Xia Xiao quickened his pace and went to find the mother star dragon to seek peace of mind. He would rather Shu Shuang had poor talent than have her accompany him for other reasons. Talent is something that is difficult to change, but if it was for other reasons, Shu Shuang would definitely be sad. In fact, even if the problem was talent, Shu Shuang would be more diligent.

The mother star dragon was busy working on her own theories as usual.

Many conclusions seemed simple, and many children could recite them and roughly understand them, but they were the results of researchers working day and night. But no matter how busy he was, he was shocked when he heard Xia Xiao saw the way up the mountain. This was only the seventh month since Xia Xiao entered the academy, and at the end of the first month after leaving the foothills, he had already found his own way?

Wherever Xia Xiao went on this road, she had set a record. Mother Star Dragon remembered that the eldest sister was the record holder. She found her own way on the first day of the first month of the first year in the academy. She walked up with joy, passed through the pine forest, and reached the alpine meadow.

Now Xia Xiao has not started walking yet. I don't know whether he will wander in the pine forest, or walk to the alpine meadow, or the alpine desert and alpine glacier belt above. All of these are possible. Anyway, no matter what Xia Xiao does now, the mother star dragon will not find it strange! In comparison, I spent two years to find the way up the mountain. I am simply a waste.

Being with geniuses is a process in which mediocre people will be hit hard.

Mother Star Dragon took Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang to find Hu Bugui. Even though he had seen many things, he couldn't help but be shocked. He had never seen Xia Xiao's situation before, and Shu Shuang was even more special. They wanted peace of mind, and so did Mother Star Dragon. When this matter spread to the foothills, it would not be as simple as a ripple in the sea, but an extremely terrifying huge wave.

Xia Xiao was worried, so he asked:

"Senior, should everything be alright?"

It would be strange if nothing happened, but the mother dragon was not sure and could only give a vague answer.

"It should be fine."

No matter what the mother star dragon said at this time, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were just seeking psychological comfort. Soon, they arrived at Hu Bugui's courtyard.

Ah Zhu was sitting in the classroom. She was used to this kind of life, going up the mountain alone, writing alone, waiting for the sunset, and then going down alone. Seeing Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang coming, she was a little curious. Although they were on the mountainside together, she rarely saw them.
