Bang, the door closed, and Tang Huang's tall figure had disappeared. Looking at the door, the master stood there for a long time without any movement.

  After a long time, he slowly lowered his head, his eyes fell on the token, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I didn't expect that my idol would have become like this."

  ……

  The sun sets in the west, and in front of the ironwork shop, two small figures sit side by side, wearing the same clothes, sitting quietly.

  The afterglow of the sun cast a faint red glow on them, as if branding their bodies with a circle of golden red.

  The girl on the left tilted her head, looked at the boy, and put her hands under her chin, wanting to say something, but she finally held back.

  It was the boy who spoke up, holding a brand new casting hammer in his hand. "Xiao Wu, thank you."

  "What am I thanking you for?" Little Dance asked curiously.

  "Thank you for always being with me." Tang San lowered his head, looking at the ground beneath his feet. His eyes were a bit dazed and blurry, but in the end, he didn't let tears fall.

  Xiao Wu chuckled and pushed Tang San's shoulder, the force was so great that it almost sent Tang San tumbling. "Don't be depressed. Your dad has only temporarily left. One day, you'll meet again. Maybe his leaving is to let you grow up better, to make you stronger. If you continue like this, won't you be disappointing his efforts?"

  Tang San's face revealed a hint of bitter smile, "Perhaps it is, but why didn't he let me see him one last time. Xiao Wu, do you know, Father was my only family. Without Father at home, it's no longer a home."

  Xiao Wu swung her head, swinging her long scorpion braid to the front of her body. "Without Dad, you still have me as a friend. If you must find a relative, I don't mind being your sister. Come on, call me Xiao Wu Jie and listen. Everyone calls me that, only you are an exception."

  Looking at Xiao Wu's lovely appearance and her rosy face illuminated by the sunset, Tang San couldn't help but smile. When a person is most vulnerable in their heart, having someone accompany them is always an extremely wonderful thing.

  "If you're willing to be my sister, I won't object. If I recall correctly, although we're the same age, you seem to be a few months younger than me. I was born in January, and you were born in August, right?"

  "Don't even think about it. I'm only your sister, not your little sister." Xia Wu slapped Tang San's head with a bad temper.

  Tang San's body flashed and he had already jumped out, standing three meters in front of Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, follow me up the mountain, I'll show you some things."

  Tang San's expression was very serious, as if he had made some kind of decision.

  Xiao Wu also stopped fooling around, a few points of cleverness flowed out on her small face, and she nodded to him.

  Tang San took the initiative to pull Xiao Wu's soft and delicate hand, running towards the mountain outside the village. The shadows of the two gradually lengthened on the ground under the illumination of the sunset.

  Tang San brought Xiao Wu all the way to the top of the mountain before stopping, and even with his full force driving the Xuan Tian God, he couldn't help but breathe slightly heavily.

  Standing on the mountaintop, Tang San faced the setting sun, his eyes already filled with purple. "Xiao Wu, this is where I used to cultivate my powers. I'm going to ask you a serious question, and I hope you'll give me a serious answer."

  Xiao Wu puckered her lips and said, "Do you know that your current appearance is very similar to those old men in the academy."

  Tang San slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Wu seriously, "Are you willing to be my little sister? I really hope to have another family member."

  Xiao Wu was about to say something, but was stopped by Tang San. "Let me finish speaking first. I have nothing, you've seen my family's situation, I'm just a poor commoner. I can't give you wealth or power. You're also born with the full soul force, but you and I are different, I can tell, your background should be interesting. But I never asked because I was afraid that our differences in status would be too great, not even friends could become. However, I really hope to have a sister like you, although I couldn't give you what the nobles have, but I can give you my promise. I will forever protect my own sister and won't let her get hurt."

  Looking at Tang San's eyes that shone with tears, Xiao Wu's eyes gradually turned red. "What if one day, many people want to kill me and those people are ones you can't defeat? What should I do?"

  Tang San's face suddenly revealed a faint smile, "Then let them step over my corpse first."

  Xiao Wu fell silent, and Tang San also didn't speak again. The red of the sunset gradually faded away, at this time the stars in the sky had quietly emerged.

  "Brother." Xiaowu broke the silence between them with a single word.

  The tears that had been held back finally fell at this moment. Tang San's hands trembled as he pulled up Xiao Wu's hand, "Thank you, little sister."

  Father is gone, but he has another sister. Tang San looked up at the sky and silently made a lifelong vow to the stars in the sky.

  Night falls, two children sit on the mountain top, feeling the gentle breeze of the mountain peak, looking at the stars and moon in the sky, the quiet atmosphere, fresh air, all bring a comfortable feeling.

  "Can't I not call you Brother?" Little Dance turned her head to look at Tang San beside her.

  Tang San was taken aback, "Why?"

  Xiao Wu's face flushed with a hint of redness, "How can I put it, I'm also the eldest among all of Norden's students. Suddenly having an older brother, what will they think of me?"

  Tang San smiled, "Alright, you can still call me Little Three then. As long as I know in my heart that you're my sister, what's the big deal about the title?"

  As he spoke, Tang San raised his hand, pulled down his sleeve and removed the sleeve arrow from his left wrist.

  "Let's become sworn siblings, I don't have anything valuable, so I'll give this to you for self-defense. It was my first creation."

  Xiao Wu looked curiously at the sleeve arrow handed over by Tang San, "What is this?"
