Chapter 38 I'll Protect You When I Grow Up
In any case, Bai Haochen was affected.

He withdrew his hand from the token and looked up at the people in front of him.

"My aunt said that ability is the best proof."

"Among my brothers, just send one who is around level 6 of the second tier to fight me."

"Once you've fought it, you'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not."

Bai Haochen's face didn't show any extra expression, but it revealed a sense of arrogance.

Seeing him like this, the others became interested, and one of them even made a joke.

"Aren't you afraid that one of us might be far stronger than you, but pretends to be a Tier 2 Level 6 fighter and fights you?"

"Not afraid."

Bai Haochen answered quickly and very well.

"I believe in you. You are all members of the Bright Moon Branch Hall, and you will certainly abide by the code of chivalry. You would not do such a thing."

The real reason is that Bai Haochen already knew the strength of the Haoyue Branch Hall on the very first day that Feng Jing brought him there to challenge them.

Within the Bright Moon Branch Hall, aside from a few older managers, most of the teenagers and those in their twenties were at the second rank. Those at the third rank were extremely rare, numbering only a handful, and none exceeding the third rank, third level.

Simply put, Bai Haochen could defeat any of the dozen or twenty knights in the Haoyue branch hall if he put in a little more effort.

"Okay, if you trust us, we won't let you down."

"Zhou Yu, you fight him, but be careful not to overdo it."

"Yes, such a pretty little girl..."

Bai Haochen couldn't help but glare at him, interrupting his unfinished conversation.

"I am a man!"

"If you keep saying that, I'm going to get angry."

Bai Haochen is so exhausted. Is it his fault that he's good-looking? Is it his fault that he looks like his mother?

"Bai Haochen, a second-tier, level-six guardian knight, please give me your guidance."

"Zhou Yu, a Tier 2 Level 5 Retribution Knight, please give me your guidance."

After exchanging greetings, the two took out their weapons.

Seeing that the weapon the other party had taken out was a low-grade alloy weapon, Bai Haochen also switched back to his old alloy sword.

His spiritual power was already higher than his opponent's, so it was no longer appropriate for him to gain an advantage in terms of weaponry.

However, the glimpse of his sword still caught the eyes of many. Although they couldn't see it clearly, they could tell from the gleam that it was no ordinary sword, and worried that Bai Haochen might have an extraordinary background. They immediately regretted teasing Bai Haochen.

Bai Haochen had no idea that all it took to convince them was to draw his sword.

He was now seriously dealing with Zhou Yu.

He will not underestimate any opponent.

Basic skills like Pure White Blade and Thrust have extraordinary effects because they are used by Bai Haochen.

"Accepted."

In just a few rounds, Bai Haochen successfully defeated the quasi-knight named Zhou Yu, proving his strength.

After finishing, Bai Haochen finally looked up at the rooftop, looking like he was asking for praise.

"Auntie, how did I do?"

No one noticed that a girl wearing a faceless mask and blue clothes had appeared on the roof at some point.

"Um……"

After sending Bai Yue back to the Demon Emperor's Palace, Feng Jing

They quickly returned to Haoyue City to pick up Bai Haochen.

When Feng Jing discovered that Bai Yue was in trouble, he didn't want to take Bai Haochen into battle, so he placed Bai Haochen in the Knights' Branch Hall of Haoyue City.

However, when he arrived, he saw Bai Haochen sparring with someone. Not wanting to disturb Bai Haochen, Feng Jing stood on the rooftop to watch the match.

"pretty good."

Despite Bai Haochen's nervous yet expectant gaze, Feng Jing still generously offered his praise.

“Our Chenchen is amazing.”

"No, not really. My spiritual power is higher than his, so it would be a bit unfair for me to win."

Although he wanted to be praised by Feng Jing, Bai Haochen felt embarrassed when Feng Jing actually praised him. "No way, there's not much difference between you early-stage professionals, even between levels one and two."

“You only have a few more points of spiritual power than him, but he has better physical strength and ten more years of combat experience than you.”

"So there was no unfair victory, you won beautifully."

Feng Jing is never stingy with praise for others.

Praise has real emotional value.

Therefore, after praising Bai Haochen, Feng Jing also made sure to praise Zhou Yu, who had just fought against him.

"You're not bad either. You have a solid foundation. If you work harder, you have a good chance of becoming a true knight."

Zhou Yu didn't know Bai Haochen, but he did know Feng Jing.

After being praised by Feng Jing, the fear she had felt while teasing Bai Haochen immediately disappeared, and she became visibly happy and excited.

"Thank you for the compliment, Goddess."

"I will work hard."

Feng Jing: ...I got goosebumps.

Can't she really go back eight years and give herself a good beating? Can't she really change the title of "goddess"?

So embarrassing!

It's almost enough to create a Knight's Temple.

"Just call me Feng Jing... or Teacher Feng."

Feng Jing emphasized this awkwardly.

"Come, come, Teacher Feng will start your class."

"You, Chenchen, you two have a friendly sparring session, and Teacher Feng will help you fill in any gaps in your knowledge."

Feng Jing really put in a lot of effort to make them forget the title of goddess.

The person she chose was the strongest among them, possessing strength at the second tier, level nine, and would soon break through to the third tier.

Against such an opponent, using the same weapons, Bai Haochen would face a slight challenge, but he could still win. Moreover, it would benefit both of them in improving their strength.

After the sparring session, during which Feng Jing occasionally offered a word of advice to both sides, both of their spiritual power increased slightly.

Feng Jing received grateful looks from them, making it a satisfactory conclusion.

"Auntie, Auntie, where did you go that day?!"

After it was over, Bai Haochen finally had time to ask about it.

When Feng Jing suddenly left that day, he didn't say anything, only that he had something to do.

At the time, Feng Jing was in a hurry to leave, so Bai Haochen didn't ask, but now he wants to.

"No big deal."

"That's right, your mother left Odin Town."

Remembering what Bai Yue had asked her not to tell Bai Haochen what had happened before she arrived at Haoyue City, Feng Jing thought about it and decided to keep it a secret.

Anyway, the lightning that day struck Long Xingyu quite hard; he won't be able to leave Yulong Pass for at least two or three years.

Let's just keep it a secret for now.

“Your mother is living with your maternal grandparents now, so Chenchen can still see her when she misses her.”

"Your aunt will take good care of you."

To be honest, Bai Haochen is only eight years old. Feng Jing was quite worried that the child would cry because of the pain of separation, so he added a few words in the hope of comforting him.

However, she underestimated Bai Haochen.

Bai Haochen's face showed reluctance, but he didn't look like he was about to cry.

Bai Haochen knew something must have happened, but he started talking about other things.

"Auntie, I'll be good."

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm young, I can help you too."

"When I'm older, I... I can protect you."

"Auntie..."
