However, this adorable creature was both clever and resourceful. As it deployed its capture mechanism, it detected the approaching reinforcements movements and realized the situation was escalating. Without delay, it channeled energy waves from afar, unleashing the concentrated massive power in a single burst——. At that critical moment, Ah Jun had just landed on a large tree when the colossal energy wave struck. Though unharmed, the tree suffered severe damage from absorbing the impact, swaying violently as it shielded the child.
Later, due to his exhaustion, Ah Jun fell down —— and the residual force of the flame in the energy wave caused the child to fall from a 3-meter branch and fall on the grass, where he temporarily lost consciousness.
"Bad boy! You caused me trouble again. You want to be a hero but you dont weigh yourself!"
In his sleep, Ah Jun seemed to see the uncle doing something beside the gemstone, muttering, and the gemstone was still emitting an unusual light.
Of course, the child was very happy and immediately ran over to catch up with him —— because he had not seen the uncle for a long time.
"Get away from me! Youre just going to get me into trouble. Who wants to talk nonsense with you..." However, the uncle glanced at Ah Jun and said angrily, as if he was still fighting with Bao Li.
"—— You said you, ah! You can escape with a ball yourself, why bother! You dont care if I want it or not..."
"—— But I cant just watch them do nothing. Since I met them, I have a responsibility. Besides, Im kind of a —— guardian. I cant sit idly by as a deserter... Right, uncle!"
As for the concern of his elders, Ah Jun had to smile at the uncle who was sweating and explain it stammering.
"Drink? Youre the only one responsible. Do you think hell thank you?"
"Well, it doesnt matter. I dont save people for that. Its just instinct."
Hearing the childs innocent thought, the uncle had no choice but to turn his head helplessly and glance at it. His eyes began to soften, but his expression looked a little strained.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Then Ah Jun walked over and looked at him curiously.
"Hmm? Quiet, Im cleaning up the mess... Well, ask so much, what are you doing here, go back!"
...
—— Uncle, whats wrong? The child froze for a moment, and then a long memory surfaced in his mind.
" oh ..."
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and obediently walked slowly in the direction of his memory, looking back from time to time at the uncle who was trying hard.
"Boy, youre growing up..."
However, the uncle never looked back, but silently sighed to himself, as if he was satisfied with Ah Juns performance.
At this time, outside the dream, the monster was looking at Ah Jun lying on the ground in the distance. He was excited and bellowed. He had begun to celebrate his victory.
Fortunately, Ah Jun soon woke up. In a daze, he felt the arrival of danger. However, because his body was not working as it should, he took out snacks to replenish and continue to move.
—— This, that big monster, how can I bear it!
The monster looked at the child in a relaxed manner, and kicked a big rock with anger. He screamed in pain —— he would not give the other man enough time to rest.
Just as Ah Jun was about to eat, a huge palm suddenly came down from the air—— so fast that he didnt have time to react or move. Almost at the same time, a familiar arrow suddenly flashed before his eyes and hit the giant monsters hand precisely.
The monster was crying and sobbing, with tears in his eyes —— Then Ah Jun felt himself being helped up, so he turned his head to look. Oh! It was his brother-in-law, but how could he be here?
Yi glanced at the bewildered child, sighed, then smiled. He swiftly retrieved his arrow and fled from the battlefield with Ah Jun on his back. Now that Ah Jun was safe, Yi turned back with lingering fear. The monster ——, tormented by pride and despair, was shouting at them while gathering another massive energy sphere, preparing for a final all-out strike.
Seeing this, he quickly turned to look at his brother-in-law and nodded on the back of his back, thinking that he should remind him —— but his brother-in-law did not pay attention and just whispered that he was relieved.
And when Ah Jun turned his head again and looked into the distance, he understood in a moment...
At that moment, another figure appeared before the giant monster. With a single strike, it unleashed a force the beast could not resist——. Fueled by rage, his blade sliced through the air with such ferocity that a gust of wind followed each slash. The once-adorable giant was left speechless as its entire energy sphere exploded on impact!
The smoke was soon blown away by the storm, and then a handsome figure appeared beside the fallen monster —— while the big cute was shrinking and the little cute was slowly disappearing.
—— Who are they?
At that moment, Ah Jun, who was out of danger, guessed that he had fallen asleep on his brother-in-laws back because of exhaustion.
—— Who else!
With his keen eyes, Ah Jun tried to open his eyes. Even with squinting, he could see something... It must be the eldest sister, Qing!
At the same time, the teachers of the school have also arrived one after another, which is really timely —— but the eldest brother-in-law, for some reason, kept shaking his head and sighing...
"Why are you so disobedient, my boy? Are your wings stiff? I told you to keep yourself in check and not meddle in other peoples business. You dont know whats going on with yourself!"
When she got home, Qing tried to control her emotions. Looking at the young hero in front of her, she scolded him with anxiety, anger and worry.
"Oh, well, the child knows hes wrong... Youve said so much, arent you tired? Why dont you have some water?"
At this moment, Yi smiled and brought the source of life and put it in Qings mouth.
"Im not thirsty!"
Qing nimbly dodged the cup, glared at Yi, and then stared at Ah Jun again...
"Hey... take a break. Look what youve done to the kids!"
At this point, seeing that the move was ineffective, the eldest brother had to continue to help Ah Jun out —— Qing stopped for a few seconds, looked at the child who was silent and pitiful, and his sharp eyes began to soften.
Although it seemed that Ah Jun had made a mistake and was being lectured by his parents, in fact, the boy had done the right thing, but it was a little too risky, after all, porcelain work requires diamond drills.
Of course, Ah Jun was well aware of the seriousness of the situation. Though his elder sister spoke harshly, her words carried genuine concern. He knew he couldnt argue or defend himself. Lowering his head, he glanced at his brother-in-law. The two exchanged knowing smiles, their eyes twinkling with quiet amusement.
"Look at this kid —— feeding, still smiling! You..."
Then, the eldest sister glared at Yi who was teasing the child, looking furious... Meanwhile, the eldest brother-in-law came to Ah Juns side, patted his head and said, "The matter has already happened. Xiao Jun knows he was wrong. You should rest a bit —— Besides, isnt the child doing well?"
"Okay? You almost lost your life, do you know that? Ah —— Look at him, is this an expression of remorse? Youre the one who corrupted him! So disobedient, next time... I wont bother with you then..."
At this time, Qing said that he felt tired, and the anger in his heart had been reduced a lot, and he began to speak helplessly.
"No —— no —— I wont dare next time, okay, Xiao Jun?" The brother-in-law looked at Qings expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said seriously to Ah Jun.
"Um! I wont dare next time!"
Ajun looked at his brother-in-laws eyes, quickly responded, looked up and blinked his eyes, and honestly admitted his mistake. He suddenly felt that his sister was now looking like someone he knew.
"Afraid? You... next time?"
Looking at the childs face, Qing was both angry and amused, but he forgot half of his original words: "—— Hmph, next time, I..."
"Oh, come on —— Dont be mean to the child!"
Then, the brother-in-law waiting nearby seized the moment to stop Qing and gently patted Ah Juns head. "Your sister is a real tough nut to crack," he whispered. "When she learned you were in danger, she rushed to your side without hesitation! That monster must have suffered terribly—she took all her anger out on you. And ——Oh, but she acted recklessly, even killing the giant beast! That wouldve gone against orders from above..."."
"I didnt mean to —— I was just careless, who made this monster so fragile —— Hey! You have something to say, why talk about this to a child!" Qing kicked Yi with his foot and shouted awkwardly and nervously.
"Whats the relationship? Xiao Jun is not an outsider... Oh," Yi touched his bottom, but wanted to continue to say, only to be kicked by the eldest sister again, and he cried out in pain.
"Okay, okay, okay —— No more, no more," Yi rubbed his bottom and looked at everyone with a miserable face. Ah Jun couldnt stop laughing, then the eldest sister couldnt help laughing, and her husband followed.
Although he was reprimanded for his rashness this time, Ah Jun did not regret it. He firmly believed that what he had done was right —— Although the eldest sister opposed it, it was probably because she was worried.
However, in the childs heart, even if this will inevitably make the family worried, but many times things are far from simple than imagined, so no matter what, if he meets such a thing again, he will certainly do it without hesitation, because this time he has been affirmed!
Just moments ago, as the eldest sister was passionately holding a family meeting, Ah Jun had spotted another familiar figure from afar———it was their mentor. The respected elder had come to check on the childrens well-being and nodded in high approval. Though their eyes met only briefly, he understood completely: He was doing the right thing. Ah Jun resolved to strive to become an exemplary guardian of the little ones!
Due to the incident, the schools martial arts assessment had to be suspended. However, the good news was that most of the students, including Ah Jun, passed the assessment. In particular, Ah Jun —— was praised by the teachers for his wit, chivalry and bravery in protecting his classmates, and was exceptionally designated as the first place in this five-county assessment.
Cheng Shao naturally passed the examination, but he was still behind Ah Jun, so he was not happy at all, and his hostility was increasing.
Because of Ah Jun, he was unable to complete the assessment according to his own plan. Because of Ah Jun, he was actually rescued by someone else when facing the enemy.
Whats even more infuriating was that his most loyal subordinate had been spouting the bosss praises nonstop these past two days. Young Master Cheng couldnt help but wear a stern expression, eyes vacant as he stared blankly while enduring the humiliation. ——If he were to follow his old ways, any subordinate who displeased him—even like the high-ranking Second Brother or Third Brother—would never escape consequences. Yet here lay the exception: this particular underling dared to gossip shamelessly in his presence.
Moreover, the little brother with fewer oranges originally had a very low presence. Although he was simple-minded and loyal in his eyes, his level was extremely low. However, it seems that Orange has changed a bit now. A fallen mans repentance is priceless!
Of course, these were not the main points. The main point was that Young Master Chengs father seemed to have been humiliated by his second sons foolishness and had not given him a good look in the past two days. Young Master Cheng felt that he was moving further and further away from his fathers expectations, and his wish must have been difficult to fulfill!
Though Ah Jun had been honored, his days were far from peaceful these past two weeks... As customary, rumors about the boy began to spread like wildfire. The heros well-intentioned deeds gradually became tainted with dark undertones. Some claimed the strange beast was mutated because of Ah Jun; others accused him of deliberately staying with Young Master Cheng to wait for the perfect moment to make a show of strength; while some argued Young Master Cheng had no choice but to let the monster escape... Had it not been for Ah Juns deliberate obstruction, the monster would have surely been captured...
Theres always something to criticize—any topic that sparks public debate keeps gaining traction. Ah Jun has once again topped the trending charts, just like before. But whatever controversy hes involved in, its always pinned on his kids. —— I wonder whats wrong with those people? Why do they keep picking on this poor kid and never stop staring at him?
