Before we knew it, it was already late.

When we get together with friends, time always passes so quickly.

"Let's go back, we will go to the college to report tomorrow morning," Qiao Yuan said.

Although I am reluctant to leave, I will see you tomorrow.

Tang Zhongkai and Li Lei nodded, paid for the food and beverages, and walked out of Qianlilou together.

The sun had not yet set completely, and the last afterglow of dusk fell on the ground, and the three of them walked up together.

"Old Qiao, I really envy you. Sometimes when I was in class, I imagined what new place you were exploring."

Just now, when he was in Qianlilou, Li Lei was full of envy as he heard Qiao Yuan talking about place names that he had never heard of before and went to one place with strange scenery after another.

"That's not easy. I'll just bring you with me before I travel again next time. And Xiao Tang, why don't you join me?"

Qiao Yuan replied with a smile, not forgetting Tang Zhongkai on the side.

"Haha Leizi, if you want to go, go, I won't agree."

Tang Zhongkai quickly shook his head and expressed his unwillingness.

Although he was excited when he was listening to Qiao Yuan’s adventure story just now, he was very reluctant to hear Qiao Yuan’s adventure invitation.

"I haven't forgotten yet. The only time I was taken out for an adventure by you boy, what happened. I almost couldn't come back at the doorstep. I couldn't imagine what danger I could encounter if I walked away."

Qiao Yuan was stunned, and then realized what Tang Zhongkai was talking about.

The only time the three of them traveled together was two years ago, looking for a date holy place for Li Lei to explore around Qingyang Town.

That was when they encountered a lurking alien beast.

If Qiao Yuan, one of the four people at that time, had not mastered such a perverted trump card as Yiji, they would have known how many times they had died.

Moreover, others would not even know their burial place and cause of death.

"You said it's a coincidence that I was so quenched by the age of 3 and entered the spiritual realm of the spirit. I started to take risks at the age of 5. Today, I have been traveling for 10 years. That day was the most dangerous situation I have ever encountered."

Qiao Yuan thought about it carefully and it was true.

When Tang Zhongkai and Qiao Yuan mentioned this, Li Lei also recalled the scene that day.

He couldn't help but shivered all over. That was a real escape from death.

"Damn Lao Qiao, after you say that, why do I feel like you are my disaster star? When you go out with you, you will be targeted by someone. I'll tell you, is it all because of you?"

Qiao Yuan was so angry that he heard Li Lei's words.

"You boy, you're so heartless. You're not going out to take risks because you begged me for a long time, and it's not that I tried to save you. You boy had long been buried in that waterfall."

"If I hadn't been reminded today, you would have gone home to eat dirt long ago. Now, if you don't think about me, why would you blame me?"

Qiao Yuan said as he covered his chest, as if he was very injured.

Li Lei scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"I was just kidding there. I was still counting on you to become a great monk who stood up and could take me and Xiao Tangfei with me."

Tang Zhongkai nodded and said:

"My Brother Qiao is like a great immortal. The land god is a land god, and he describes a great immortal like Lao Qiao, who always walks on the land."

Qiao Yuan saw the two of them joking with him one after another, and was not willing to be outdone:

"Then I will put you two beside me, one as a mate and the other to carry the load, that is really happy like a god."

I heard that Tang Zhongkai said something else:

"With me and the old men, Leizi, that's what happiness is. You have to have a beauty to accompany you, that's the real happiness. Do you think it's Leizi?"

When Li Lei heard this, he nodded as if he was pecking at the chicken.

"That's a must! Then, Lei Zi, you haven't told us yet, have you ever met any peerless beauty outside? Hehe."

A peerless beauty?

A graceful figure flashed through Qiao Yuan's mind.

Like a dream, it is in front of you, but it is out of reach.

"I advocate freedom and explore hard between heaven and earth, just to pursue the truth. Such bondage of children's long-lasting affection is the bondage of our monks."

Qiao Yuan sighed and said slowly.

He looked into the sky at the same time, as if he had become worried for a moment.

If you say this to outsiders, others may think that Qiao Yuan is a kind-hearted or a rigid monk.

However, Tang Zhongkai and Li Lei are the people who know him best, so they don’t think so.

"Old Qiao, do you know what I admire most?"

Tang Zhongkai asked Qiao Yuan.

When Qiao Yuan heard his question, he turned his head looking upwards and looked at him.

"What do you admire most?"

Tang Zhongkai replied word by word:

"I admire your courage the most. The world is so great and dangerous. But you are not afraid. You dare to explore alone at the age of 5. Although you don't mention the dangers of the journey, I know that you have experienced too much."

"You can endure endless loneliness and endure the suffering that others dare not dare to do, so I don't have any surprise when you shine on your test."

"Although you have never fought side by side with you, on the day you attacked the strange beast, you took Li Lei and me and I to death. I knew that even if one day, thousands of enemies stood in front of you, you would have the courage to be a man who could not escape the pass."

"But you, who is so brave, are so indecisive in the word "love". Family, friendship, love. You seem to be unwilling to face your parents, Zhong Yongxin, Zhong Lingxuan, and Qingyang's fellow villagers. Sometimes I feel that your travels are actually an escape."

Tang Zhongkai's sudden big words made Qiao Yuan fall into deep thought.

Am I really... escaping something?

Is it because of my shame to the Qingyang villagers or the guilt that I couldn’t save Zhong Yongxin.

Or are you unwilling to face the care of your parents?

Because only I know how dangerous the journey is every time I go out.

Every time I get home and receive my parents' meticulous care, I can only tell them that I have only gone to some unrisk places to experience.

Qiao Yuan felt very uncomfortable lying to the person he was closest to.

But Qiao Yuan’s favorite is adventure and exploration at the cost of his life.

If you don’t dare to block everything, what can you get?

This is Qiao Yuan’s idea.

But whenever I encounter a big crisis, my life will be in lingering for a moment.

He will not be afraid of death in his heart.

What comes to my mind is always my parents, two or three friends, and Qingyang, whom I am most reluctant to leave.

Qiao Yuan shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore.

"Okay, let's focus on the election in 5 days. If we can't overcome that hurdle, then nothing makes sense, isn't it."

Seeing that Qiao Yuan was unwilling to talk more about this topic, Tang Zhongkai did not bother him anymore.

Li Lei also spoke at this time:

"Yes, if it is really like Lao Qiao, you said, and the monks from Yongtie City are coming to Qingyang to compete with us, it's really hard to say what they are like."

Just now, Qiao Yuan informed the two of them about this time.

When it comes to the election after the 5th, Qiao Yuan, who was a little dull just now, became a little excited:

"No matter where people come from, we dare not be afraid of competing with us in any way. This time, we will defend our name as a monk in Qingyang."
