Jiuwei looked down at his swollen palm in silence, covered with a layer of crystal ointment.

Although it was painful, he was thinking in his heart, when could he be able to bear the eighty ruler to exchange for a hug from his father?

This thought was crushed in my heart for a whole year.

At that time, even Emperor Xiu himself did not expect that because of going down the mountain, his casual words would be understood by the little guy as "changing an unreasonable requirement for eighty rulers", and they were firmly remembered in his heart.

Jiuwei originally thought that his request would not be courageous until he was at least twelve years old.

Because judging by the strength of his father's punishment, he could clearly and rationally judge his ability to withstand it. Eighty rulers were a tragic tragedy that he could not even think of.

Although he is young, he will not show off his strength in an inappropriate manner - with his current body, it is impossible for him to bear it.

Twelve years old is a general conclusion he came to after careful estimates.

But the arrival of his biological father and Jiurao made this plan a little unexpected.

My father ordered him to go to the snowy land of Tianshan Mountains in southern Xinjiang with Jiurao. This was the task given to him by his father. He originally thought he would be very happy to have the opportunity to go down the mountain, but at this time, when he heard his father's instructions, his mood was different from before.

The first thought that came to my mind was not to let my father down. This was the first time he had really gone down the mountain to experience it.

Then what he thought of was the sinister world.

Last year, when he was eight years old, Qin Shang said this in front of him, and his father also said that he did not have the ability to protect himself.

He is nine years old this year.

It took only one year before and although his martial arts have improved a lot, Jiuwei still cannot determine whether he has the ability to protect himself at the age of nine.

If the world is still dangerous, if he encounters danger after going down the mountain, he will not be able to come back, if...

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he had no time to think about it.

He only knew that he didn't know when he would come back after leaving the top of the Nine Pavilions this time.

The thought hidden in his heart could hardly be suppressed anymore. He thought that if he could not come back, would he regret that he had not let his father hug him once until his death?

His father handed him a book and a map of the snowy areas of Tianshan Mountains in southern Xinjiang. He took it with both hands, but stood still.

"Is there anything else?" A voice that was always light and calm in my ears, and the boy's heart instantly calmed down.

He made a decision in great sanity, solemnly brought the ruler, and made his request with the courage he had never had before.

But I didn't expect...

In the end, I got what I wanted so easily.

When the father said, "This request is not unreasonable, and there is no need to exchange it for rulers", the little guy's heart was actually a hint of annoyance - why didn't he make this request earlier?

If he had known that the request was reasonable, he would have made it last year.

My father's shoulders were as strong and reassuring as he imagined, with a hint of coldness and indifference, not as warm as Daddy Shang, but with a strict and special love, teaching accompanied his growth.

That night, Jiuwei slept very peacefully.

He thought that even if his father would become more harsh as he got older, and he would have to bear more and more and heavier on his shoulders, he knew that his father loved him.

This alone gave him enough courage to face the wind and rain, endure hardships, and eventually become a person who stood at the top and took charge of the storm like his father.
