Yes, this disheveled and rebellious young man named Yi Qing was the future founder of China's second headquarter city, Yuzhang City, where Guhan grew up, Zhe Jiandi Jiandi.
The Instance Dungeon's name was "Heroes Rise From Humble Beginnings". It referred to the fact that before the Heaven Shrouding Sword Emperor became a sword-wielder, he was just a youth in a desert tribe who didn't have enough to eat.
Looking at the legend of Zhe Tian Jiandi's life, he was a main character even more than Guhan. In Yi Qing's era, Zhe Tian Jiandi was the main character without a doubt.
This also explained why Yi Qing looked familiar. After all, he was her first swordsman. Although a girl changed eighteen times between childhood and womanhood, the outline of her face when she was young was still very clear.
However, what made Guhan curious was the relationship between Yi Qing and Zhe Tian Jiandi. Guhan noticed that Yi Qing's attitude towards Yi Qing was not good. It was as if there was some kind of grudge between the two.
It seemed that the history books and various legends said that Yi Qing was Zhe Tian Jiandi's best friend was not trustworthy. There must be some unspeakable story between the two.
"Although I feel that what I just said sounded like a fantasy, there is one thing I can be sure of. You don't have any bad intentions towards me.
Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Yi Qing. Although I don't know how much longer I can stay with you, I hope to be friends with you. "
Young Yi Qing was worthy of being the future Jiandi. Although he was facing a swordsman who was many times stronger than him, he was neither arrogant nor servile. He took the initiative to ask Guhan to be friends. With this kind of attitude, even if Yi Qing did not have Jiandi's talent, he would definitely be a person who could not be underestimated in the future.
"Okay, Yi Qing, we are friends now!" Gu Han held Yi Qing's hand and shook it hard.
"System Notification: Quest 1, Skinny Youth, completed. You have found Yi Qing and become friends with him.
"System Notification: Main Quest has been updated.
Quest 2: Find the White Iron Sword: There is a lost Ancient Sword Maiden White Iron Sword hidden near this temporary base. Please help Yi Qing find the White Iron Sword.
A new quest had been issued. It was to help Yi Qing find Bai Tiejian.
Who would have thought that the great Jiandi of the first generation would have an Ancient Sword Maiden, the White Iron Sword, one of the Three Beginner Sword Maidens. It was a piece of beginner equipment that could be given away with a single click.
However, it was worth mentioning that Yi Qing's White Iron Sword was not a man-made White Iron Sword, but a natural Sword Maiden White Iron Sword. In the "Ancient Sword Record", it was ranked around 300. Compared to the thousands of rankings, this was already a pretty good ranking.
…
"Yi Qing, time to eat!"
At this time, a man who only covered his most important parts came to Yi Qing's door, but he was shocked to find that Yi Qing was sitting with Guhan and Yi Tian.
Seeing Guhan and Yi Tian, this person was clearly a little dumbfounded.
The news about Guhan and Yi Tian had already spread throughout the tribe. Everyone knew that a powerful sword wielder had entered their tribe.
However, they never expected that this sword wielder would actually be together with the stubborn and dirty Yi Qing.
"Uncle Yi Tian, what are you spacing out for? Give me my food!" Yi Qing urged when he saw Yi Tian standing at the door in a daze.
"Oh, oh, here you go!" Only then did Yi Tian hand over the two slightly charred scones from the basket to Yi Qing's hands.
Seeing these two scones, Yi Qing said in shock, "Uncle Yi Tian, did the chief confer a title?
He actually gave me two scones. "
"How can you say that? How can you say that the chief has gone crazy!
Do you think that giving you one more scone is a bad thing?
These past few days, we haven't even eaten our fill! "Yi Tian said unhappily.
"No, Uncle Yi Tian, our Zongzi tribe is in the most difficult time right now. We should try our best to save food in order to be able to survive this period. How can we be so extravagant as to eat two scones?
Uncle Yi Tian, I'll give you another one. You go and persuade the chief not to be so extravagant! "Yi Qing said sincerely.
"You're crazy, if you don't want to eat then leave …" Yi Tian snatched the scone from Yi Qing's hands and left angrily.
Seeing this, Yi Qing knew that what he said earlier was for nothing. He could only sigh, turn around, sit down, and silently nibble on the scones in his hands.
"I couldn't tell that you're so considerate of the tribe!" Guhan smiled.
"I lost my parents when I was four. If it wasn't for the kindness of the tribe that brought me up, I would have died in this desert a long time ago.
It was the tribe that saved my life, and I, Yi Qing, must repay the kindness.
Therefore, even if he came to take me to Yanjing City to enjoy a comfortable life, I would never leave the tribe. I, Yi Qing, will live and die with the tribe.
As long as I, Yi Qing, am here, the tribe will be here! "Yi Qing bit half of the scone and carefully hid the other half in his clothes.
He had just eaten two pieces of bread from Guhan, and this time he only ate half of the scone, so he didn't feel hungry.
"Drink some water!"
Guhan handed a bottle of water to Yi Qing. Yi Qing was stunned for a moment, and thanked him. He unscrewed the bottle cap and drank all the water in one gulp. Then, like the half of the scone, he carefully kept the empty bottle.
"The most important thing in the desert is the container for water!
This bottle is much more valuable than the water! "Yi Qing explained.
"Yi Qing, since we're friends now, can I ask what's going on between you and your father, that 'him'?
If he's really your father, and you're worried about the survival of the tribe, I can ask him to help you when I return to Yanjing City. "
"No, absolutely don't go to him!"
Yi Qing's reaction was very strong, "I don't want to meet that ungrateful, cruel and heartless person again, and I will never accept his help."
"What's going on, Yi Qing, if you're my friend, then as a friend, I hope I can help you."
"Forget it, it's not a big deal to tell you!" Yi Qing sneered, "My father, the man called Yi Da, was the same as me.
He lost his parents when he was young, and was brought up by the tribe as an orphan.
In the end, not only did the chief not look down on my father, but he also married his own daughter to him, and later he had me. "
"In the end, when I was one year old, he found a sword from god knows where, and became the sword bearer, becoming the most powerful person in the tribe.
So the chief passed the position to my father, and let him lead the tribe forward. "
"At first it was quite good, because there was only one sword bearer in the desert, and he was the most invincible human in the whole desert.
All the tribes were afraid of our Zongzi tribe, and we once owned three oases, with a population of more than four hundred. We were the most powerful tribe in the desert. "
"But later, two sword bearers from Yanjing City came, and we warmly welcomed them. In the end, they talked to my father for less than ten minutes, and he decided to abandon our tribe, and go to Yanjing City to live a life of luxury."
"My mother and I were very happy at first, and thought that we could go to Yanjing City with my father to live a happy life.
But that night, the man left without saying goodbye with the sword bearers from Yanjing City, and left my mother and me alone in this yellow desert. He didn't even give us an explanation. "
"So my mother and I lost our father, and the tribe lost a powerful chief. The surrounding tribes that were afraid of us joined forces after hearing the news, and launched attacks against us again and again.
Until now, our Zongzi tribe has lost all of our oases, and more than three hundred of our tribesmen died in more than ten years of fighting. If we still can't find an oasis to live on, our Zongzi tribe will completely disappear. "
"In the end, the first month after my father left, my mother went crazy because she couldn't accept the truth. Then, she ran into the desert alone, and we couldn't find any trace of her anymore.
So I became an orphan.
Fortunately, the tribesmen didn't vent their anger on me because of my father's departure, and instead raised me. So since I was young, I made up my mind that in this life, I would never want to acknowledge that cruel man, and that I would forever be with the tribe, through life and death, and through trials and tribulations. "
"At first, I thought you were sent by my father to bring me to Yanjing City, because my mother told me that after he gave birth to me, he hurt his thing, and that it would be impossible for him to have a second child.
So I thought he wanted to continue his bloodline, and wanted to bring me back. I'm sorry, I've wronged you. "
At this point, Yi Qing's childhood story came to an end.
This story couldn't be considered a soul-stirring, twists and turns, or thrilling story.
It was just a very simple story of abandoning a wife. Such stories happened all the time, from ancient times to the present, there were endless examples.
In ancient times, there was Chen Shimei, and now there was a certain great ancestor. They were all typical people who abandoned their wives for the sake of their careers when they were young.
Guhan listened very seriously to the story. Guhan didn't know that Zhe Tian Jiandi had such an experience when he was young … Yi Tian also listened very seriously. It seemed that when she was with Yi Qing in the past, she had never heard Yi Qing talk about his own past.
"I can guess the reason why that man didn't bring you and your mother!" Guhan suddenly said.
"What reason?"
Yi Qing's voice was a little emotional. This was the biggest knot in his heart, and it was difficult for him to let go of it every time.
"It's very simple. We went through many difficulties and dangers on the way here from Yanjing City. Halfway through, there was a fellow sword bearer who left us forever!"
Guhan's face showed a sad expression, completely unable to tell that this was something he made up. "Even if it was a sword bearer, going all the way back to Yanjing City from here was a matter of nine out of ten chances of survival.
If your father brought you and your mother, I'm afraid that nine out of ten chances of survival would be ten out of ten. "
"I don't want to argue for your father, because I don't know him, but I just want to tell you this possibility.
Your father might not want you and your mother to die on the way to Yanjing City, so he left without saying a word. He might not be as heartless as you think! "
"If that's the case, then he could totally not have left, right?
Wouldn't it have been better to stay here and protect the tribe that raised him?
Why did he have to go to that damn Yanjing City? "Yi Qing's emotions were about to explode.
"Because no sword bearer can resist the temptation of Yanjing City!"
Guhan curled his lips. "To be precise, it's because he can't resist the temptation of improving his own abilities. Only by going to Yanjing City can your father possibly improve his strength.
From this point of view, your father really owes you! "
"So that's how it is!" Yi Qing sat back down on the ground. The question that had been buried in his heart for a long time was finally solved.
After listening to Guhan's explanation, Yi Qing felt that his hatred towards his father had lessened a little.
