Papa Paladin

  Shang Yulin\'s slightly anxious voice came from the receiver.

   Zuo Yi, who just picked up the phone to answer the answer, replied: "I\'m right at the door, open the door for me."

"what!"

   After a while, the door opened, and Shang Yulin stared and asked, "Didn\'t you say to go out and save the world? Why did you come back so soon? Then the world was saved by you?"

  From Zuo Yi\'s sudden departure to his return now, only a few minutes have passed.

  Because of the lightning, thunder, and heavy rain just now outside, Shang Yulin couldn\'t help feeling worried for Zuo Yi, so he called to inquire about the situation, but unexpectedly he came back!

   Shang Yulin, who was at a loss, felt that his feelings were wasted for nothing, so he couldn\'t help teasing Zuo Yi a few words.

  No matter how rich her imagination is, it is impossible to believe that Zuo Yi is really going to save the world.

"All right."

  Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Now the world is at peace."

  Shang Yulin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Come in, you haven\'t finished your meal yet!"

  When Zuo Yi returned to the small restaurant, Liang Xuemei happened to bring out the soup pot from the kitchen, and immediately greeted him when she saw him: "Xiao Zuo, sit down and drink a bowl of sweet soup, your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus wine stuffed balls."

   "Thank you, Mrs.

  Zuo Yi sat down in his original position, and reached out to touch the face of the little girl next to him.

   Bao\'er blinked and asked, "Dad, where have you been?"

  Before Zuo Yi answered, Shang Yulin said for him first: "Your father, he went out to save the world, hehehe!"

  The more she thought about it, the more amusing she became.

   As a result, Liang Xuemei, who was scooping up sweet soup, gave her a glare.

  Zuo Yi touched his nose.

"what…"

  The little girl believed it was true: "Dad, is it true?"

  Zuo Yi nodded: "Yeah."

  Shang Yulin saved Zuo Yi\'s face without poking at him, and brought him a soup bowl: "Eat quickly."

  Bo\'er raised her hand: "Me too!"

   This sweet-scented osmanthus wine stuffed meatball looks delicious, and it smells sweet and fragrant.

"you also have."

  Liang Xuemei said lovingly, and also filled a small bowl for the little girl.

  She now likes Bao\'er more and more, wishing that Bao\'er could become her own granddaughter, so that she could love her every day.

She couldn\'t help but said: "Xiao Zuo, if you don\'t want to cook in the future, then take Bao\'er to eat at the teacher\'s wife\'s house, don\'t go out to eat often, the food outside is not very clean after all, just call me in advance .”

  Zuo Yi blushed: "That\'s too much trouble for you."

   "What\'s the trouble!"

Liang Xuemei said angrily: "Yu Lin and I also have to eat, and adding two pairs of chopsticks will take a lot of trouble. My health has recovered a lot. I went to the hospital for an examination today and the doctor said that the situation is very good. I buy vegetables every day. Cooking is like exercising."

  Zuo Yi had no choice but to promise that he would often bring Bao\'er over for meals, and Liang Xuemei was satisfied.

   After this warm dinner, the heavy rain outside also stopped. Zuo Yi saw that it was almost time, so he said goodbye to Liang Xuemei and Shang Yulin and left.

  Liang Xuemei didn\'t try to keep her, but just told Zuo Yi not to forget what she promised.

  Taking Bao\'er back to the old house in Linjiang, after the little girl fell asleep, Zuo Yi quietly came to the terrace outside.

  The night sky at this time is extremely clear, with a bright moon hanging high above the sky.

  The moonlight covers the stars, and the lights of thousands of houses in the world complement each other, and the city is noisy and quiet under the night in the distance.

  Zuo Yi turned on Spirit Vision.

  The huge and strict net of laws immediately appeared in his field of vision.

  Zuo Yi searched for the source of the law, and once again saw the huge World Tree—the incarnation of world consciousness.

  He stared quietly for a moment, and then exited the spiritual vision state.

  The world in front of me immediately returned to its original state.

  At this time, Zuo Yi has been able to confirm that the world consciousness has really fallen into a deep sleep.

  Although it is said that this will not have much impact on the world itself and the web of laws, it is hard to say that nothing will happen because of it.

   World variables increased.

  The next few days were calm, Hangzhou entered the hottest season, and Tianhong Budokan also ushered in the busiest day since Shang He\'s death.

  68 newcomers officially joined Tianhong Budokan on August 1st and became new students of Budokan, which also brought the total number of students of Tianhong Budokan to 80, restoring some of the glory of the former peak period.

  The entrance ceremony was simple yet solemn. Shang Yulin personally distributed a set of brand new martial arts uniforms to each new student and warmly welcomed them.

   "Hello, tutor!"

  At the end of the ceremony, the new students who put on their martial arts uniforms lined up neatly and bowed to Zuo Yi, the chief instructor of Tianhong Budokan.

   Chief Instructor is Zuo Yi\'s new title!

  Although Zuo Yi is still in the third rank, no one present will regard him as a low-rank swordsman.

  These 68 new students all came for Zuo Yi.

"Hello everyone."

Zuo Yi stood on the martial arts arena, with a smile on his face, his eyes swept across the young faces: "Welcome everyone to join Tianhong Budokan, I hope you can learn something here and become a qualified martial artist, thanks."

   Very simple speech.

  Wow~

  The warm applause sounded like a tide!

   Among them, the loudest applause was undoubtedly Sun Qiang and Wang Jiaojiao among the new students.

  Just yesterday, the two successfully passed Zuo Yi\'s assessment, and successfully retained their status as apprentices.

   There are basically three types of people who study in Budokan. The first type is students, which is also the largest number.

  Students learn the corresponding martial arts by paying tuition fees, and the relationship between instructors, instructors and students is a transaction.

  The second type is apprentices. Apprentices also have to pay tuition fees, but their relationship with teachers is much closer.

  Apprentices are often able to get additional guidance and teaching, and the learning time and cycle are longer.

  The last type is disciples, who have a true master-student relationship with the teacher, and are eligible to receive the true inheritance and even inherit the mantle!

  Like Zhang Dahai is a disciple of Shanghe, Zuo Yi was also a disciple of Shanghe before, and he was also a true disciple.

   Now that Zuo Yi has become a mentor, he can be regarded as inheriting Shanghe\'s mantle to a certain extent.

  Shang He left to him the treasured "Sword of Merchant"!

  Sun Qiang and Wang Jiaojiao were the first to get started, and they were lucky enough to become apprentices.

  The 68 newcomers were not so lucky. They came here for Zuo Yi\'s reputation, so they can only be students at present.

  Of course, if one of them stands out, Zuo Yi will not hesitate to give him the status of an apprentice or even a disciple.

   "Master Zuo!"

  When Zuo Yi came down from the ring, he was immediately surrounded by new students.

  Some of them made friends with Zuo Yi, some flattered, some invited Zuo Yi to dinner, and some wanted to take a group photo.

  The name of a genius martial artist is still very attractive.

  For such a small scene, Zuo Yi handled it with ease. He declined all the invitations of the students and came to Shang Yulin\'s curator\'s office to hide quietly.

  Today is the entrance ceremony for freshmen, and the formal teaching will start tomorrow.

  Shang Yulin was still busy outside, so when Zuo Yi entered the room, only Bao\'er was inside.

  Well, we have to add Chihuotai and Gaopi.

  Bo\'er was lying on the desk, she held her chin and face with her hands, tilted her head and looked at Pippi intently.

  The budgerigar was standing on the lamp with great vigor, telling her a story.

"In the garden, each little princess has her own little spot where she can plant as she pleases. Some make their flower beds look like a whale, and some think it\'s best to make theirs look like a whale. A little mermaid."

   "But the youngest one arranged her flower beds round, like a sun, and she only planted flowers that are as red as the sun..."

  The voice of the budgerigar is crisp and melodious, and it brings emotion into the narration, vividly describing a beautiful fairy tale world.

  The little girl was already fascinated, and she didn\'t notice Zuo Yi\'s arrival at all.

  Zuo Yi didn\'t disturb her, and quietly stood at the door and watched.

Only Pippi\'s voice echoed in the room: "She is a strange child, not very talkative, always thinking about something quietly. When she came to adorn their garden with things, she would have nothing but flowers as red as the sun high in the sky, but a beautiful marble statue..."
