People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 396 Life is a long journey

Mainna's expression was a little dazed, but he quickly concealed it.

When he first learned of Qi Yan's identity, he imagined countless possibilities.

When he learned that Qi Yan seemed to want to protect Margaret, he racked his brains to think of countless things he might face after rejecting Qi Yan.

But Qi Yan, the young Rupert, always seems to be able to escape people's speculation and shock the hearts of those who talk to him from an unexpected angle.

If Mainna hadn't had the self-control accumulated over the years, her expression would have definitely gone out of control at this moment.

"...Thank you for recruiting me, but I am very satisfied with my current job and have no intention of leaving." Ma Enna seemed to be afraid that Qi Yan would say something shocking again, and took the initiative to add, "Now my boss has entrusted me with an important task. No one can replace me in the project I am in charge of."

"Are you sure?" Qi Yan smiled strangely.

Mainna opened her mouth to say something, but the terminal in her pocket rang first.

Maenna's hands were so fast that they left an afterimage. He answered the call instantly, turned his back and nodded:

"It's me. I can go back to work overtime anytime... Yeah, it's my responsibility... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'll take care of it... Give me another chance. Others didn't follow up on this business the whole time like I did. They can't... No, no, no, I didn't make any requests... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... OK, I understand..."

Mainna wanted to say something, but the person on the other end hung up first.

After putting away the terminal, Ma Enna suddenly felt a little afraid to look at Qi Yan's expression at the moment.

Lin Guang and Zofia wanted to laugh, but they couldn't.

They still remembered the handsome young man and the proud knight, but Mayenna was so real at this moment, and he showed his embarrassment in front of them.

"Sorry for making you laugh."

Mainna returned to her original posture, no longer dodging Qi Yan's gaze, and adjusted her mentality at an astonishing speed.

But the mocking face of Qi Yan that he expected did not appear. Instead, Qi Yan had a smile on his face, but it was so gentle and sincere.

"Uncle, I didn't say you must come to Rhodes Island right now."

Qi Yan raised his hand and pointed outside the window.

Mauna subconsciously looked in the direction Qi Yan pointed. The sky outside the window was foggy and a little gloomy because of the upcoming rainy season.

He was a little puzzled. He frowned and looked at Qi Yan again, waiting for Qi Yan's next words.

In this regard, Qi Yan did not keep anyone in suspense and said bluntly:

“When the sun shines through the clouds, when the sunset rises again, when you find the path you want to walk, it is never too late to come back. The door of Rhodes Island is always open to you.”

"you……"

"But I still have a request."

Qi Yan interrupted Ma Enna, raised a finger and said leisurely: "Everyone has his own choices and goals, which may be illusory or beyond his ability, but these are not important.

The road is right under your feet and mine. Just keep walking. As long as you keep moving forward, you will arrive one day.

Of course, please stop sometimes, look up and take in the scenery around you, and don’t miss the people and things around you.”

Mauna narrowed her eyes slightly.

He always felt that Qi Yan's words were both advice and a prophecy.

Qi Yan still smiled, put his hands behind his head, stretched lazily, and continued:

“Don’t underestimate me because I’m young, but I’m speaking from experience. I was once a guy who rushed along without thinking and almost got lost.

Fortunately, I met a gentle companion who held me back and made me realize that I was not alone. Your companion may be lending a helping hand behind you. "

Ma Enna didn't say anything, just looked at Qi Yan silently.

After a moment, he suddenly spoke coldly:

"Ridiculous."

After leaving behind a remark that was enough to be considered an insult, Mainna turned around, walked up the stairs, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lin Guang explained with some concern:

"Qi Yan, uncle doesn't have any ill will towards you, it's just his personality."

"Don't worry, I had expected his attitude." Qi Yan waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the door of the villa. "He is as stubborn as you, but he is not someone who will not listen to others. Next, I have to prepare for the tournament. I'm leaving first."

Qi Lin stood up silently and followed.

When the brother and sister walked to the door of the villa, Qi Yan suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a smile:

"Lin Guang, if we meet on the field, don't think I will hold back."

Lin Guang also smiled, with fighting spirit in his eyes:

“That’s exactly what I was hoping for.”

The two smiled at each other, Qi Yan opened the door and left with his sister.

Looking at the door slowly closing, Lin Guang was lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Sophia next to him was a little anxious:

"Qi Yan is also going to participate in the tournament? With his strength, doesn't that mean you have no chance of winning? What about your goal then?"

Lin Guang collected his thoughts, without any worry or fear on his face:

"Yes, I am definitely not Qi Yan's opponent. I don't even have the confidence to survive three moves from him... No, if Qi Yan is serious, I can't even survive one move!"

Zofia: "...When you say such discouraging words, can you not be so confident and proud?"

She sat on the chair somewhat frustrated, complaining with a sad face:

"Aren't you two very good companions?"

"Of course, Qi Yan is a companion who is trustworthy and worthy of entrusting everything to. He will seriously consider everyone and protect us silently."

Lin Guang sat back in the chair, looked at the door and said slowly: "But as he just said, everyone has his own goals and paths to follow. He... has changed. He is no longer the lonely guardian he once was.

Now, we walk side by side!"

"Okay, okay, let's walk side by side." Zofia was obviously unable to put herself in Lin Guang's mood and still looked a little discouraged.

Lin Guang smiled and comforted him:

"It doesn't matter if I can't win this tournament. I still have the next one, and the one after that. What I want to do is not just to win the championship, but to use my actions to tell everyone in Casimir what a knight should be like.

Championships are important, but they are not the only thing that matters.”

"You...ah, I can't argue with you."

Zofia finally remembered the purpose of her coming here, and picked up the bag next to her hand again: "I'm going to find Maenna. He was injured in the wrist when he sparred with you before. With his personality, he will definitely not go out of his way to get treatment."

Lin Guang nodded:

"I'll trouble you to take care of my uncle. I need to intensify my training and be in the best condition for the match against Qi Yan."

With that, she stood up and went to the training room to get her equipment.

Zofia shook her head and walked up the stairs worriedly.

At the corner of the stairs, she looked out the window. The sky outside was gloomy and it was obvious that it was about to rain.

Sophia sighed and said to herself:

"Maria is still in the tavern. With her careless personality, she definitely didn't bring an umbrella. After giving Mayenna the medicine, I had to go to the tavern to pick up Maria.

I've been so worried about this family, I'm going to become a housewife if this continues."
