Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

half year later.

Zhong Zhuanghai and Tian Jingyun were sitting in an inn eating. In the past six months, she had been to many places with Zhong Zhuanghai.

The two of them continued walking north. Zhong Zhuanghai would accept commissions along the way and then take Tian Jingyun with him in a carriage to the next destination.

They used most of the commission income to support themselves.

In the past six months, Tian Jingyun has seen a lot of things, and she deeply feels the chaos and cruelty of this world.

If Zhong Zhuanghai hadn't been protecting her all the time, she felt that a little girl would not be able to survive in this world alone.

Most of the villages were like the one she had lived in before, food was scarce and the villagers were dying off.

In order to survive, some people left the village and went to small towns or county towns, but most of them died on the way.

Along the way, whenever Zhong Zhuanghai told her to close her eyes, someone had died.

In addition to bandits, they also encountered robbery by refugees. Zhong Zhuanghai would throw a few coins to them and then take her away.

But if any refugees greedily wanted to get more from them, Zhong Zhuanghai would take out a knife and reason with them.

Tian Jingyun looked at Zhong Zhuanghai and asked curiously, "Where are we going if we keep going north?"

After half a year of getting along, she was no longer afraid of Zhong Zhuanghai and could say whatever she wanted to say or ask.

"I heard from my parents that the world was not like this before." Zhong Zhuanghai picked up a piece of fish and continued, "The reason why this era is so chaotic is because of the emergence of demonic cultivators."

"You are just a kid, so you can't understand it. To put it simply, it's a war between good and evil, and the order has been disrupted, and it has become like this now."

Tian Jingyun nodded. She had heard a lot about things between cultivators in the past six months.

Monks are far more powerful than ordinary people. As a warrior, Zhong Zhuanghai can easily subdue several ordinary people. Monks will only be stronger.

The monks are also divided into two factions, and when they meet each other they fight to the death.

"The world will remain in such chaos until the fighting between monks ends."

Zhong Zhuanghai smiled and continued, "My dream when I was a child was to become a knight, so I kept training myself and eventually became a warrior, hoping to help others."

Having justice in mind, daring to stand up and protecting the weak, punishing evil and promoting good at all costs, this is a hero.

Of course, this is Zhong Zhuanghai’s own understanding of a hero, and he wants to be such a person.

"But I have been to many places in the past ten years and helped many people, but this will not solve the problem."

With his strength as a warrior, he can only take care of a few people at most. It is not easy to survive in troubled times.

"The question you just asked me is where are we going if we keep going north. There is a sect in the north called the Sword Sect."

"The Sword Sect is the sect that best fits the identity of a knight. I want to try to become a cultivator and contribute to this troubled world."

What the Sword Sect focuses on is not the talent of its disciples, but their character and personality.

There is only one entrance examination to the Sword Sect, which is to pass the Trial Tower within the sect. Those who harbor greed and malice will not be able to pass the test of the Trial Tower.

Zhong Zhuanghai wants to continue his childhood dream, a fairy tale is also a hero.

Tian Jingyun didn't quite understand, but nodded anyway.

Zhong Zhuanghai shook his head. Why tell these things to a child?

He suddenly regretted saying these things. What's the point of doing something to help in this troubled world? He was still saying such ridiculous things.

It is not certain whether he can become a monk. Even if he becomes a monk, he will not be the main force of the upright monks.

Tian Jingyun thought, since he wanted to be a good person, why did he claim to be a human trafficker after saving her?

Zhong Zhuanghai handed a bag to Tian Jingyun and said, "This is a gift for you."

Tian Jingyun opened the bag and found a hairpin inside.

The hairpin is made of a thin silver pin, decorated with a group of delicate flowers at the end, just like flowers blooming in spring.

Two of the flowers are a graceful blue, and the other two are pure, flawless snow-white.

There was a gleam in Tian Jingyun's eyes. It went without saying that this exquisite hairpin was not cheap.

"I heard that some little girls get birthday gifts like this when they turn fourteen. If you like it, you can wear it. If you don't like it, I'll take it back to the store for a refund."

Tian Jingyun held the hairpin tightly, fearing that Zhong Zhuanghai would snatch it back.

"I like this hairpin very much. Thank you for your birthday gift."

"Will you wear this hairpin?" Zhong Zhuanghai asked curiously.

Tian Jingyun shook her head. She always let her hair down and never used a hairpin.

"I can't. I've never worn a hairpin."

"I don't know how to wear it either. I'll take you to a hairpin shop later and ask the owner to teach you how to wear it."

After the two finished their meal, Zhong Zhuanghai brought Tian Jingyun to a shop selling hairpins and explained their purpose to the proprietress.

The proprietress looked at Tian Jingyun and asked, "I think you'd look better if you let some of your hair out. Do you want to try it?"

She nodded.

The proprietress gently combed her long hair and put it into a neat ponytail.

"You need to tie your hair into a ponytail first. I'll leave some of your hair out this time. If you don't like it, you can change it to something else."

"Roll your hair tightly, twist it to the left, then twist it downwards, tuck the ends of your hair into the bun, and use a hairpin to pick up a lock of hair."

"Put the hairpin into the rubber band in your hair, remember to press a strand of hair underneath so it will be tighter."

"Okay." The proprietress smiled.

Tian Jingyun looked at herself in the mirror. This hairpin was so beautiful.

The two returned to the room in the inn, and Tian Jingyun asked nervously, "Does it look good?"

"I have good taste. You look even better with this hairpin. I am a little reluctant to sell you." Zhong Zhuanghai said.

Then don’t sell it. I don’t believe you will sell me out.

After spending half a year together, Tian Jingyun simply didn't believe that he was a human trafficker.

But it’s better not to talk about this kind of thing. It might not be good for everyone to expose it now.

"We should be able to reach the position of Sword Sect in half a year." Zhong Zhuanghai looked at Tian Jingyun and said, "I have something to ask you."

"You ask."

"In fact, you should be able to guess that I am not a human trafficker. I just want to ask you if you want to continue to follow me?"

"If you don't want to follow me, I will arrange for a better family to adopt you..."

Before Zhong Zhuanghai could finish his words, Tian Jingyun pulled his clothes tightly, tears in her eyes and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly.

"Don't leave me, I will be obedient."

"I always say I hate children crying." Zhong Zhuanghai sighed and continued, "If you want to follow me, you can't regret it later. Do you understand?"

Tian Jingyun looked up at him.

"it is good!"

......

......

In the end, both of them became disciples of the Sword Sect, and Zhong Zhuanghai and Tian Jingyun became Taoist companions, accompanying each other.

Tian Jingyun took the lead and became a cultivator in the seventh realm of Divine Transformation.

When she heard that Huanyou was born, she planned to go to where Huanyou was.

Tian Jingyun looked at Zhong Zhuanghai and said, "You said that you wanted to contribute to this troubled world and want to end this chaotic era as soon as possible."

"I have wanted to help you since then. I will deal with this phantom ghost. I hope that when I come back, you will have broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

Tian Jingyun kissed Zhong Zhuanghai on the cheek and left Jianzong.
