C224 The Brave Ones Were Fearless

"Yuwen Jian, you?" Mingsi was slightly stunned.

Yuwen Lang glanced at him. In his eyes, the arrogance he had in the past had once again appeared, and it had become a little stronger. He walked to the front of the crowd and stood straight in front of Xiao Nantian. He took a deep breath and asked, "General, do you know if my strength meets the standards that you need?"

"Yuwen clan's kid. . . " Xiao Nantian squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you not afraid of death?"

Yuwen Lang's eyes revealed a serious look, as if he was thinking about Xiao Nantian's question. However, not long after that, he opened his mouth and spoke with strong confidence, "I won't die. "

As soon as these words came out, Not only the students present, even Ou Fengxiang, the three mentors, and Xiao Nantian were shocked. Yuwen Lang's words were simple, but it revealed a great amount of confidence.

Xiao Nantian stared at Yuwen Lang for a while, then asked in a deep voice, "Who is Yuwen Taiping to you?"

"My father. " Yuwen Lang's tone was light, but it also revealed a sense of pride.

Xiao Nantian nodded slightly when he heard this, and the expression on his face eased up a little, "A tiger father does not have a dog son. These words do make some sense. " He sighed lightly and patted Yuwen Lang's body with his palm. A trace of spiritual energy was emitted from Yuwen Lang's body and drilled into Yuwen Lang's body. After that, it drilled out and returned to his body.

"Your strength has reached the standard, but I can't let you participate in this mission. " Xiao Nantian smiled helplessly.

"Why?" Yuwen Lang didn't expect this and asked with a frown.

"Because your father will not agree. " Xiao Nantian said.

Yuwen Lang was silent for a while, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness. Behind him, all the students looked at him with doubt and surprise. No one, including Mingsi, knew what Yuwen Lang was thinking at this moment.

"General, may I ask, those soldiers in front, and their father, all agreed to let them fight the enemy?" Yuwen Lang asked seriously.

Xiao Nantian was a little surprised. He looked at Yuwen Lang again and sighed. "Are you really not afraid?"

"The brave are not afraid. General has been on the battlefield for a long time. He should know this principle. " Yuwen Lang said.

"Alright!" Xiao Nantian's eyes lit up. He patted Yuwen Lang's shoulder heavily. A wave of energy spread out from Yuwen Lang's body, causing his clothes to flutter. Yuwen Lang's body trembled.

"Sure, you can count as one. " Xiao Nantian did not say anything else. After slapping Yuwen Lang, he let Yuwen Lang stand beside him. After that, he continued to look at the other students.

Seeing Xiao Nantian looking over, the other students lowered their heads again. There were also some who showed hesitation in their eyes, as if they were making some difficult decisions in their hearts.

There was no need for them to go, nor was there a need for them to go. Since Xiao Nantian had already said that he was willing to go, it would be even more difficult for them to convince themselves after learning about the thirty percent casualty rate of the mission. Yuwen Lang was a different person. He came from a mysterious and powerful family. The reason why he was so confident was probably because he had a trump card that no one else could match up to.

At this moment, Xiao Nantian didn't expect anyone to stand out because this mission didn't depend on the number of people present. As long as there were people, it would be enough. Now that Yuwen Lang had stood up for him, he didn't want to say anything else. He knew very well in his heart. These students were, after all, only sixteen years old teenagers.

In the crowd, Mingsi stared blankly at Yuwen Lang, who was standing beside Xiao Nantian. At this moment, the latter's gaze had also landed on him. However, there was no provocation in Yuwen Lang's eyes, nor was there any arrogance in them. There was only indifference and silence in his eyes.

Mingsi's heart trembled again when he saw Yuwen Lang's expression. He recalled his past when he was cultivating with Yuwen Lang and the days when they had ventured into the Heavenly Tower together. However, in his heart, he really hoped that Yuwen Lang could provoke him and ridicule him. Then, he would also stand out as usual, unwilling to admit defeat.

However, Yuwen Lang's expression was very calm. It was as if he was saying that this mission was no small matter. This time, he wasn't comparing himself to you. This time, it was my own choice.

"Although I hate the Saint Knight Palace, I swear that I will never become a Saint Knight in my life. . . " Mingsi chuckled, as if he was laughing at himself. Then, he lifted his foot gently and walked forward.

"Count me in too. " Mingsi's voice was not loud, but it shocked everyone again.

Xiao Nantian looked at Mingsi with a calm expression, "Your strength has reached the standard. But I don't need you. "

As soon as these words were spoken, There was another uproar. What did Xiao Nantian mean by this?

"I'm not targeting you, I'm targeting everyone here. Except for him. " Xiao Nantian patted Yuwen Lang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You don't have the courage to do so. You can go back. The same goes to all of you. You don't have to choose anymore. "

How could the others not understand what Xiao Nantian meant? At this moment, all of their faces turned slightly red, and they lowered their heads one after another. Mingsi stopped in his tracks. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Nantian, but there was no other expression on his face. Xiao Nantian's words didn't seem to have any effect on him.

"Courage?" Mingsi said calmly, "If I didn't have the courage, I wouldn't have come out. "

"No, you came out because of him. " Xiao Nantian shook his head.

Mingsi looked at Yuwen Lang. Both of them looked at each other. Mingsi looked away and sneered, "Even if you are a general. You don't know if I have the courage or not. You can't see it. "

"Oh?" Xiao Nantian heard Mingsi's words and asked with interest, "Can I see through you? Then tell me. Why didn't you step forward just now? "

Mingsi's eyes were still calm as he said," I am afraid, but I am not afraid of death. What I am afraid of is that if anything happens to me, then I will never see my mother, my brother, and my father again. "

Mingsi said with a trembling voice. He didn't know why, but when he mentioned his father in such a situation, his emotions became unstable. He thought of what his father had told him, and how his father hadn't come back to visit him for more than a year. He also thought of the news he had heard about his father a few days ago.

"So that's how it is. " Xiao Nantian suddenly understood, but he asked again, "If something really happens to you and you can't see your father, what should you do?"

"Is that so. . . " Mingsi's expression was a little sad, "If it really is so, then. . . If you can't see him, then you can't see him anymore. " As he spoke, The sadness in Mingsi's heart gradually became stronger, and his eyes turned slightly red. Then, he spoke in a low voice. It was as if he was saying it to himself, "Maybe back then. . . When my father went to carry out that mission, he hesitated as well. He must also be very reluctant to part with me. He must. . . He also suspects that he will be able to safely return to me. . . "

"Then you don't have to go. " Xiao Nantian shook his head. He walked to Mingsi and whispered, "What I said before was to stimulate you. Since you are in such a mood, then don't go. Stay here and wait for your father to return. "

A cool breeze blew past. Mingsi waved his empty sleeve gently. He reached out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes. He raised his head to look at Xiao Nantian and said with a smile, "Of course I want to go. Since I have the ability, I am willing to go. Then I have fulfilled your requirements. If so, why can't I go? "

Xiao Nantian was stunned for a moment. However, when he saw the determination in Mingsi's eyes, he finally smiled softly. He patted Mingsi's shoulder and sent out another wave of Qi.

"Fine, you are one too. " Xiao Nantian asked Mingsi to stand beside Yuwen Lang.

"You are very stupid. " Yuwen Lang's expression did not change. He did not turn his head, but said to Mingsi in a low voice.

"Do you want to know the reason?" Mingsi grinned.

"What reason?" Yuwen Lang raised his eyebrows.

"Firstly, since you said you won't die, and I'm stronger than you, I won't die either. " Mingsi took a deep breath and said, "Second, my goal is to become a hero as great as my father in the future. Since you're a hero, you should be fearless. "

Yuwen Lang shook his head and smiled. He took a deep look at Mingsi and did not say anything else. He was a little surprised and happy in his heart. He remembered what Mingsi had said and the corner of his mouth curled up again. He nodded slightly and said, "Good boy. "

"The rest of you can leave now. " After Mingsi stood out, Xiao Nantian did not continue asking questions. Instead, he waved his hand and dismissed everyone. At this moment, there were still some people who were about to stand out. In the midst of their hesitation, they saw Xiao Nantian turning around and leaving. After that, no one stood out.

After Xiao Nantian spoke to Mingsi and Yuwen Lang for a while, he told them to leave as well.

Everyone turned around and left, but Chen Ziming just stood there quietly and watched Mingsi walk back.

"Why are you in a daze?" Mingsi saw Chen Ziming standing there stupidly and asked.

"Mingsi, you?" Chen Ziming frowned, his eyes filled with doubt.

"What about me?" Mingsi grinned.

"Why are you going? It's so dangerous. . . " Chen Ziming asked.

Mingsi wanted to explain something, but his heart was calm. He did not say anything to explain. Instead, he held Chen Ziming in his arms and walked to the camp in a flash.

Everyone left one after another. After Ho Yanshen and Feng Zizai left, only Ou Fengxiang and Xiao Nantian were left. Under Ou Feng looked at the other students who had not left the other camps and asked, "Old Xiao, are you satisfied with these two people?"

"Not bad. The person you recommended is indeed a good seedling. " Xiao Nantian smiled.

"Actually, there are also a few who are not bad. However, they are still too weak at the moment. Only these two little fellows barely meet your standards. . . If that's the case, we can only let the two of them go. " Ou Fengxiang sighed and sighed.

"Don't worry. I will watch over the two of them. " Xiao Nantian shook his head and smiled.
