Almost instantly, the golden pheasant's face turned red, and then its nostrils and ears spewed out large amounts of white smoke like a boiling boiler!

"this!"

Qin Zi was stunned.

"I'll go down and take a dip first!"

The golden pheasant jumped off the flying boat and fell into a small blue lake below like a meteorite.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The moment he fell into the water, a huge explosion occurred in the lake, a large number of fish and shrimps were blown away, and white smoke rose from the water.

Even the lake is boiling!

After a while, many fish and shrimps turned red and floated up.

Then, the golden pheasant's body was like a "big" character, with its face facing the bottom of the lake and its back facing the sky, and it slowly floated up...

Not moving.

"This is……"

Qin Zi was stunned, then looked blankly at the elders of Ziyun Academy who were also stunned.

"Hurry up and pull him out! He can't swim!"

The elder suddenly remembered something, his face changed drastically, and then he quickly used his energy to scoop up the golden pheasant.

soon.

The golden pheasant was laid flat on the deck of the flying boat, wet all over, pale and dying.

Qin Zi and the elder looked at him with concern.

He slowly opened his eyes and asked weakly, "What did you just say..."

Qin Zi was stunned. Are you still concerned about this at this time?

But he still said honestly: "Brother Jin, are you willing to be my friend?"

"Ah, this... um... it's OK..."

Jinzhi's speech was somewhat incoherent, and his face seemed to be turning red again, but he seemed to be too weak, so his face remained pale.

I don't know if it was calculated in advance.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have exhausted the last of his strength. He closed his eyes and fainted.

"this……"

Qin Zi looked at the scene in confusion.

The elder of Ziyun Academy smiled kindly and said in a ridiculous way:

"That's just his personality. Maybe it happened too suddenly, and he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know what to do for the time being, and he couldn't leave the ship, so he used sleep to buffer the pain."

Qin Zi understood immediately.

Brother Jin seems cold, but he is actually very thin-skinned. After agreeing to be friends, he needs to go into a coma to avoid social death.

The elder sighed:

"Hey, this kid is good in everything, whether it's talent or character, he's the best choice, but he's too withdrawn... Before this, he never had any friends. I hope that will change in the future."

Qin Zi thought for a moment and asked:

"Senior, what is Brother Jin's origin? He has such a strange personality. How did he develop it?"

Senior Brother Jin is indeed strange.

On the one hand, he is so arrogant that he looks down on everyone; on the other hand, he is so humble that he even dares not interact with others.

"this……"

The elder hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile:

"Actually, I don't know either. He came to Ziyun Academy alone, and we couldn't find out about his past. He said he was a casual cultivator with no father or mother. As for other things, there really is no clue."

Qin Zi frowned.

How could Brother Jin, who is born with supernatural powers and a physique as vast as the sea of ​​energy and blood, be the child of an ordinary family?

It must have a great origin.

Suddenly, Qin Zi remembered that it was a bad behavior to ask about someone behind their back, not to mention... the person was still lying here.

So, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll ask him myself later."

Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Senior, why did you come to save me? Where is my father?"

yes!

Where's his dad?!

Senior Brother Jin came to save him, which means that the news of him in the Shattered Star Demon Realm has already reached the Ziyun Academy. Then why didn't his father make any move?

Logically speaking, if he was in danger, shouldn't his father be the first to rush in? Why didn't he show up now?

This is not scientific!!

"this……"

The elder hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Before I say it, I hope you are mentally prepared..."

Click!!

Qin Zi's heartbeat suddenly slowed down, and his emotions changed from aggrieved and stubborn feeling to horror.

Are you mentally prepared?

What does this mean? Did something happen to my father?

Almost instantly, countless thoughts flooded into his mind, making his eyes go dark and he felt like the sky was falling.

"What happened? Tell me now!!"

He suddenly grabbed the elder's arm and stared at him like a man-eating beast.

He is very strong.

But it was not enough to cause any harm to a peak emperor, and the elder was not angry, but just sighed.

"Hey...your father disappeared more than half a year ago. Later, we entered his palace and found a note..."

"He said that there was a problem with his cultivation and he needed to survive a catastrophe. He also said that if he couldn't come back, he wanted us to help look after you. After all, you are also a disciple of Ziyun Academy."

Qin Zi was struck by lightning when he heard this! !

"Dad...something really happened...How could this happen...This is impossible...How could this happen..."

He staggered back two steps, became dazed, incoherent, and his eyes became empty and lifeless.

The past keeps surfacing.

In his heart, that man has always been strong and gentle, and is his greatest confidence.

That man always cared for him and loved him, and even indulged him when he got into trouble.

No matter what happened, the man would stand in front of him and say calmly... Don't be afraid, Dad is here.

He thought that time would remain the same forever.

But suddenly, the figure standing in front of him seemed to fall down. It was so sudden and so unexpected.

He suddenly discovered.

His biggest regret was not that his father could no longer protect him, but that he had always cared too little about his father.

He has always enjoyed the pride of being the second generation of a strong man and the protection given to him by his father, but he always ignores the pain his father has endured!

His father had long said that forcibly restoring one's cultivation would damage one's foundation.

He obviously knows it! He obviously knows it!!

Boom!

Unconsciously, he knelt down, tears falling from his eyes, and then he kowtowed heavily towards the sky.

"Dad, I am unfilial, I am unfilial..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His forehead kept hitting the deck of the flying boat blocking the door, and soon it was broken and bleeding.

When the elder saw this, he also sighed.

He couldn't persuade people on this matter.

He remembered that a long time ago, when his father passed away, he also cried bitterly and knelt down to kowtow.

Joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, how many people can escape?

Everyone is destined to experience it.

The difference is that some people have fulfilled their filial duties, so at that time they feel more grief and reluctance.

Some people usually ignore a lot, so in the end, when they kneel on the ground, they are left with only guilt and regret...

"Your father is not dead yet!!"

High in the sky, the invisible Qin Chuan looked at the scene below, feeling a little amused and helpless.

He left that note just to explain why he was not in the academy and why he didn't come to save his son.

Unexpectedly, his adopted son was so sentimental that he immediately assumed that he was dead and took care of all his funeral affairs...

He suspected that the boy was cursing him.

He's kneeling and worshipping, could it be that there's a Seven Arrows Book hidden on this flying boat blocking the door?

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

The blocking flying boat left the Shattered Star Demon Territory and returned to the Purple Cloud Territory.

After the initial period of grief, Qin Zi became lively again - he felt that his father would not die so easily.

However, Golden Pheasant was still lying on the flying boat, showing no signs of waking up.

Maybe he has already woken up.

It's just that I'm too embarrassed to open my eyes for the time being.

Sure enough, when the blocking flying boat landed in front of the gate of Ziyun Academy.

The golden pheasant suddenly flipped over and stood up, then with a "whoosh" it rushed into the academy and disappeared.

"Senior Brother Qin Zi!"

“Brother Qin!”

"Brother Qin!"

"Brother Zi!"

At this time, many people gathered at the entrance of the academy, including unfamiliar disciples and old friends from the Fragment Continent.
