“Xiao Han, where did you learn this kind of magic?” The village chief asked in a deep voice. “Your affinity with the elements clearly can’t make you summon the elements. How did you do it?”

“It’s none of your business. If you don’t get out of my way, I won’t be polite anymore!”

Su Han gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand. More than ten huge icicles condensed in the air and shot towards the village chief with a few rumbling sounds.

Today, he had to leave with Xiao Yu’er. Even his teacher could not stop him.

The village chief felt the powerful magic contained in it. He frowned and suddenly stretched out his hand. A magic shield instantly condensed in front of him.

Boom!

A loud explosion.

A few huge icicles pierced deeply into the shield and pierced into the surrounding ground. Su Han clenched his teeth and said, “Teacher, you are really on Vivian’s side. You also want to take Xiao Yu’er away from me. I will not let you have your way!”

The village chief looked at the powerful magic power surging in the huge icicles and the raging fire that was gradually spreading. These were all extremely powerful elemental magic. He could not help but raise his head to look at the stubborn youth not far away. For a moment, he was speechless.

“Big Brother, quickly stop!”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu’er anxiously stood between the master and disciple. She gritted her teeth and her eyes were moist.

“The two of you are the people closest to me. How can you do this!”

Su Han and the village chief stared into each other’s eyes and did not say anything.

“Big Brother! Grandpa Village Chief is not a bad person. Grandpa Village Chief has always known about Yu’er’s matter!” Su Yu’er said with tears flowing down her face.

Su Han turned his head to look at Su Yu’er.

Su Yu’er hugged his waist, she cried and said, “Xiao Yu’er has been living in the valley since she was born. Mother hasn’t come back to see me for a long time. The only people who accompanied me are those useless puppets. If Grandpa Village Chief didn’t take care of me, I’m afraid I would have died before I was six years old.”

“Grandpa Village Chief is Mother’s friend. He comes to see me every few days and brings me delicious food. He tells me about the things in the village. Brother, do you know? When I was very young, I heard Grandpa Village Chief mention You. He said that you are very, very smart. If we were together, we would become very good friends.”

She sobbed. “Six years ago, Mother died outside. The Earth Dragon that Mother suppressed outside the valley broke into the valley and destroyed that place. It wasn’t easy for me to escape. I thought that I would follow the stream and drift to the sea. Brother, it was you who fished me up and even named me Xiao Yu’er.”

“Brother, after Father and Mother left, you and Grandpa Village Chief have always been the most important people in this world for Xiao Yu’er. Don’t fight over me!”

His sister sobbed as she recounted the events of the past.

Su Han raised his head. Although he had already guessed most of the things, hearing his sister say it personally still made his heart unable to calm down.

He also did not expect that the village chief would stay in this village because there was a canyon in the mountain and there was a child in that canyon.

Then who was his teacher?

The village chief raised his head and looked at Little Purple who was beside Su Han. He then looked at the crying Xiao Yu’er and finally let out a long sigh.

If he was not wrong, Su Han should have already gone to the canyon and found out Xiao Yu’er’s identity.

Perhaps it was indeed the best choice to let Xiao Han take her away.

Vivian probably knew a lot. If he continued to keep the princess here, he might not be able to protect her.

“Xiao Yu’er, have you decided?” The village chief looked up at Xiao Yu’er and asked in a low voice, “Are you sure you want to go with your brother?”

Su Yu’er bit her lip and grabbed the corner of Su Han’s shirt. She seemed to have made up her mind and said in a low voice, “Grandpa, I… I want to follow Brother…”

When the village chief heard this answer, he was still a little angry, but he quickly calmed down.

The moonlight scattered and covered the earth with a thin layer of frost.

The surroundings were actually as quiet as a deep pool.

After a long time, the village chief said faintly, “Have you decided?”

“Yes.” Su Han lowered his eyes.

“But I have to remind you that the outside world is far more complicated than you think. Sometimes, even if your magic can help you defeat all your enemies, you will end up like me. If you stay here, I may be able to protect you and keep you safe and sound.”

He looked at his broken legs in silence. He did not want to recall the past.

“If you are afraid that Vivian will take Xiao Yu’er away, then I can help you deal with it. With me here, no one in this world would dare to touch her.”

Su Han was silent, and he bowed to his teacher. “Teacher, I am not afraid, nor am I impulsive. On the contrary, I am very rational. I know that after this incident, the news of the future emperor’s presence here will be known to the world. Those people will keep coming to us, and we will never have peace again.”

“As a brother, I have a responsibility to protect my sister.” He looked up and said, “I have a responsibility to protect this village, so I have to leave. Teacher, you know what I mean?”
