Chapter 627 Growing Up
"Father, your face is so ugly. If you really don't want me to go, then I will stay here with you and mother for the rest of my life." Ma Yunteng looked at the sad expression on his father's face and was a little worried.

"Father is fine, let's go." Ma Tai came back to his senses and waved his hand.

Although he said this on his lips, Ma Tai was full of conflicts in his heart. What kind of mood did his father have when he watched him join the Knights?

"Yunteng, I object to you joining the Knights. Do you know what war is? It's not a fight between you and the neighbor's kid." After walking for a long time, Ma Tai turned his head and looked sadly at Ma Yunteng who was following him.

Ma Yunteng, who was walking with his head down, heard what his father said, raised his head quickly, and said hastily, "I know you are all afraid that if I go, you won't be able to come back. Both you and mother are reluctant to part with me, but I have grown up now." When I grow up, I am a good man with ambitions everywhere, and I hope to venture out on my own, if it is said that I will always be under the wings of you and your mother without being tempered, how will I be able to spread my wings and soar in the future."

"Hahaha... well said, my Ma Tai's son will ride a horse to the nine heavens, and he will never surpass the clouds." For some reason, at this moment, Ma Tai firmly believes that one day his son will be able to soar in the nine heavens.Perhaps all parents believe in their children from the bottom of their hearts, and believe that their children will not calm Yunteng.

"Father, did you promise me to join the Knights?"

My father had always been opposed to participating, so why does he support me now?Although Ma Yunteng had doubts in his heart, Ma Tai was able to agree, which surprised and delighted him.

"Yeah, maybe you can help Dad do what Dad can't do, let's go, let's go home, from now on I will teach you how to be a fighter."

Ma Tai turned and walked in the direction of home.His extinguished and decadent heart ignited again. He wanted Ma Yunteng to become a strong man looked up to by the world, and let Ma Yunteng pursue his dream.

Looking at his father's back, Ma Yunteng's father was a pessimistic and depressed person, but at this moment, his father felt so tall.He had never admired his father so much.

"Why is it so slow? You can't become a qualified fighter like this. I've been waiting at home for a long time." Ma Tai waited at the door for Ma Yunteng who came back.

"Huh...huh...father, it was you...running...too fast."

Ma Yunteng put his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

"Put down the hoe. Go in and talk to your mother." The father and son walked into the house together.

Hearing the voice, the woman in the room put down the clothes she was knitting, turned her head, looked at Ma Yunteng and Ma Tai, and said in doubt: "Why did you come back after just walking for a while, look at the sweat on Yunteng's head, quickly ask mother to give you Wipe."

The woman was dressed in plain clothes, her hair was draped behind her back, and some wrinkles appeared on her delicate and elegant face with the years.This is Ma Tai's wife, Ma Yunteng's mother, Su Yun.

"Mom, Dad said that I can join the Knights of the Imperial Capital. When they come to select candidates, I want to participate in the selection."

While talking, Su Yun had already picked up a towel to help Ma Yunteng dry off his sweat, then put down the towel, and asked Ma Tai in surprise, "Did you promise him?".

"Uh...after all...a child can't be by his parents' side forever. He has to learn to grow up. As a parent, you should trust him and support him."

Ma Tai could hear Su Yun's teasing taste, after all, he was always opposed to it before, but Su Yun has always supported his son to go, and even quarreled with Su Yun about this matter, now he is somewhat embarrassed.

"Yun Teng hasn't learned any decent martial arts until now. Look at the daughter of the Wang family at the head of the village. She has been learning since she was six years old. It's all because you have always opposed it. Yun Teng is now 17 years old. How can he catch up?" People." Su Yun complained.

"For Yunteng, one week is enough. I believe in my son, besides, he should pursue what he wants to do when he is young. Otherwise, when he is old, he will look back on his life and find that his life is wasted What's the point of such a life." Ma Tai looked at his wife and comforted him.

"Mom, I have grown up, I want to become stronger, I want to protect you and dad, I want to pursue my own ideals, I firmly believe that I have the ability to protect myself and my family." Ma Yunteng hugged Su Yun buried her head on Su Yun's shoulder, wanting to let her mother know that she is no longer that child who can only make trouble.

Su Yun wiped her wet eyes, and said: "Since your father has promised you, what else can mother say, mother is afraid that you are not deep in the world, what should you do if you meet bad people outside, natural disasters, man-made disasters, the most difficult thing It’s still people’s hearts that are predicted.”

"Mother, don't worry, if there is a bad person, I will become stronger and defeat him." Ma Yunteng patted his chest and smiled at Su Yun.

"Practicing martial arts is not for fighting, but for protecting the people you want to protect." Su Yunyu taught earnestly.

"Understood, mother, I will remember."

Ma Yunteng took Ma Tai's hand and walked out.

Su Yun looked at the backs of the two of them going away, and recalled that on the way back to Shining Village from the Ma Cang Empire with Ma Tai, they met an ice armored lizard. This kind of high-level monster rarely appears in areas where humans live. Either the place where he lives is occupied by other monsters, or there is something that attracts him here.But this monster was in the way, blocking their way.This kind of high-level monster cannot be dealt with by two people, and even a knight group may not be able to hurt this kind of monster. At this time, the ice armored lizard is facing them. Before being discovered, he made a detour, and suddenly found that there was a magic circle in front of the monster, and there was an extremely cute baby lying in it, with chubby little hands dangling, very cute.The monster stared fiercely at the baby in the magic circle, but the baby smiled at the ice armored lizard without any fear.The light of the magic circle was slowly disappearing. The ice armored lizard wanted to wait for the magic circle to disappear completely before eating the baby who looked like it had just been born.

Su Yun looked at the magic circle that was about to disappear, and really couldn't bear to have such a cute child be eaten before she saw this world.Ma Tai also seemed to understand Su Yun's thoughts, but facing this kind of monster, his strength was too weak, and he was still injured, so it was impossible to fight against this ice armored lizard.Holding his wife's hand, he wanted to leave quickly before he was discovered.

"Let's go, we can't do anything at this time, if we don't leave quickly, maybe even we will die here together."

However, Su Yun stood there motionless, her eyes fixed on the chubby baby.The eye sockets gradually became moist. Although they had seen death a lot, they couldn't calm down when they saw a newborn baby about to die tragically by this monster.

When the light of the magic circle dissipated, the monster roared, and the long-awaited prey could finally enjoy it.He opened his bloody mouth wide and bit the baby.

"Yun'er, hold this child and run quickly, I'll lure this monster away." Ma Tai appeared in front of the monster, threw the child to Su Yun, and shouted.

Before Su Yun understood, the child was already in her arms.The baby was not afraid either, and giggled towards Su Yun.He brushed Su Yun's hair with his hands.Su Yun held the baby in her arms and turned to run away.

Ma Tai looked at the nearly ten-foot ice armored lizard, but his heart was extraordinarily calm, without any fear.He drew out the sword pinned to his waist and attacked the monster.

"Ma Jian Jue!"

This "Horse Sword Art" can be regarded as a high-level martial art. Each move has both offense and defense. The speed of the sword is faster than the last move, and the power is getting stronger and stronger. When it is practiced to a great extent, even boulders can be easily cut. .

Ma Tai was amazed that his "Horse Sword Art" could not inflict any scars on this monster, but also felt terrible for its defense.Ma Tai's swordsmanship is extremely powerful.If it were an ordinary low-level monster, it would have been chopped into meat, but this ice armored lizard simply ignored Ma Tai's attack.Waving its huge tail, it flicked towards Ma Tai.Seeing that Ma Tai could no longer avoid the attack of the ice armored lizard, he had no choice but to block himself with a sword.

"Boom", under the impact of the tail covered with ice armor, the sword was directly broken in two, and Ma Tai's body was directly knocked into the air and hit the nearby rock.Under such an attack, the rock was easily crushed like paper.The blow of the ice armored lizard was so powerful.Ma Tai felt the pain as if his whole body was about to split open, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.If it wasn't for injuries, at least escaping would not be a problem.

Looking at the ice armored lizard walking towards him, it is almost impossible to survive the current situation. I just hope that Su Yun can escape with that baby.Ma Tai looked up at the sky, feeling the preciousness of life for the first time.Slowly closed his eyes, welcoming the arrival of death.

"Matai, are you okay?"

Ma Tai's consciousness became more and more blurred, thinking: Is this an auditory hallucination before death?

As the voice slowly approached, Ma Tai quickly opened his eyes and saw Su Yun running towards him with the baby in his arms.Kneeling by his side, tears fell like rain, and said eagerly: "If we are going to die, we will die together. It's just a pity for this child."

Ma Tai stretched out his hand, wiped away Su Yun's tears, and said weakly, "Forget it, if... if you are going to die... then we... will die together."

The ice armor lizard rushed over frantically when he saw the prey that escaped before appearing in front of him again.

"Boom" a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and suddenly, the wind and cloud changed color, the sky was dark, and the whole earth began to tremble. The eyes of the baby in Su Yun's arms gradually shone brightly, turning blood red, and the body was also covered with a layer of blood. Layers of blood-red light.Floating in the sky, eyes fixed on the ice armored lizard.What was revealed in those blood-red eyes was pure to the extreme evil spirit.

This ice-armored lizard can be a high-level monster, and it is somewhat intelligent. Knowing that something is wrong, it wants to escape.The baby slowly raised its arm, and grabbed it in the direction where the ice armored lizard was fleeing, "Boom!" The ice armored lizard turned into blood mist.The mysterious baby turned around and looked at Ma Tai ignorantly, only to see something moving in his mouth, a blood cell surrounded Ma Tai and then spread out, Ma Tai's injury miraculously healed, even the wound he had suffered before was healed. All wounds healed.

After a long time, the two came back to their senses. The mysterious baby had returned to its previous appearance, still giggling at Su Yun.Seeing such a cute child, Su Yun couldn't imagine what just happened.

"Let's take this child away." Su Yun looked at such a cute child and said to Ma Tai.

Hearing what his wife said, Ma Tai spit, and said with lingering fear: "Didn't you see the change in him just now? This is not an ordinary child." At that scene, it was inevitable that I was a little scared, although the mysterious baby not only saved himself, but also healed his injuries for many years.

"You can't just leave him in such a wild place like this, and he shouldn't be hostile to us, otherwise he wouldn't be able to heal you just now."

"Okay, but if something is wrong, we still can't keep him."

Ma Tai knows that his wife is an emotional person, and has always wanted a child, and the decision can't be changed, and this mysterious baby has saved them, so he can only agree.

Su Yun carefully picked up the mysterious baby, stroked it lightly, and said with a smile.

"What name should we give this child? How about Ma Yunteng? Not only will it bring us a life that is not fair to Yunteng, but we also hope that he will be a person who is not fair to Yunteng in the future."

Everything that happened when I first met Ma Yunteng is vivid in my mind.After so many years, Ma Yunteng has been regarded as his own child.

Su Yun said to herself: "Yun Teng, although I don't know who your real parents are, but you are definitely not a child of ordinary people. Mother only hopes that you can live a good life."

After walking out of the house, Ma Yunteng couldn't wait to ask: "Dad, so you have been to the Ma Cang Kingdom and served as a paladin. Why did I never know about this, and my mother never told me." Ma Yunteng Today I found out that my father was actually a paladin, and I can't wait to know everything about the outside world.Although there are usually some old people talking about how exciting the outside world is.But they are also hearsay.

"Before you were young, your mother and I hoped that you would grow up healthy and happy. We didn't even want you to learn about the outside world." Hearing this, Ma Tai smiled lightly.

Recalling what happened when Ma Yunteng was still in his infancy, I still have lingering fears.Although Ma Yunteng is no different from other children since he was a child, he clearly knows that Ma Yunteng's life experience must be unusual. He has lived together for 17 years, and the relationship between father and son is not deep. As a father, he hopes that Ma Yunteng can be in This small mountain village spent the rest of his life safely, but he was even more afraid that someone would endanger Ma Yunteng's life in the future, but he would not be able to protect his children.He can only hope that Jack Ma can grow strong enough to protect himself.This is also the reason why he agreed with Ma Yunteng to join the Knights. After all, he cannot stay with Ma Yunteng for the rest of his life.
