clang! clang clang!!
In the yard, Tianluo and Irina were attacking each other continuously.
Although they were both young, their swordsmanship was already quite extraordinary, and they were both veterans. Moreover, they were not using wooden swords for training, but real swords.
If an ordinary parent saw two naughty kids hacking at each other with knives in the yard, they would be scared to death. However, Irina's father, the man called Uncle Zitong by Tianluo and named Zitong Dongzhi, stood calmly aside, nodding from time to time and giving the two of them some advice.
The Zi Teng family are all devout church believers. Irina's father is an ordinary priest on the surface, but in fact he is a powerful church warrior. Maybe he is still far behind those top-level warriors, but it is enough to guide Tianluo and Irina now.
clang!!!
Sparks flew, and with another collision, the sword in Irina's hand was knocked away by the sky. The competition was over, and Irina was defeated.
"For the 356th time, Irina, you lose again."
The sword stopped in front of Irina and Tianluo smiled playfully.
"Ouch…Damn Tianluo, he even remembers the number of times so clearly!"
Sitting down on the ground, Irina puffed up her cheeks angrily, looking unwilling.
Although she always said that she would never lose again, she had never defeated Tianluo once. Fortunately, Irina was cheerful by nature. If it were other children of her age, they would have been traumatized by the blow.
"Irina, do you know why you always lose to Tianluo? In fact, Tianluo's talent is not as good as yours, but he works very hard, harder than you and anyone else."
Walking over, Zi Teng Dongzhi said.
"I understand, Father. I will definitely work harder in the future!"
Standing up, Irina replied solemnly.
In fact, Irina also saw Tianluo's efforts, even more clearly than her own father, and recognized Tianluo from the bottom of her heart. She was just a little unwilling because she had never won a competition.
She glanced at Tian Luo beside her from the corner of her eye, and a faint blush appeared on the girl's face.
Whether it's a young loli or a mature girl, as long as they are normal women, they will like handsome and hardworking boys…
Looking at his daughter's appearance, Shido Touji, as a father, knew what she was thinking. He shook his head with amusement, but did not point it out.
"Xiao Tianluo, Irina, please have some snacks."
With a gentle voice, Irina's mother came out of the house with two plates of exquisite snacks and fruits in her hands.
"Mother!"
"Sorry to trouble you again, Aunt Zi Teng."
Irina ran over happily, and Tianluo put away his sword and greeted the woman politely.
Irina's mother was a very gentle woman, and Tianluo had always received a lot of care from her. Nodding with a smile, Irina's mother handed the snacks and fruits to the two.
Although they were just some ordinary snacks and fruits, they were very delicious and exquisite. Tian Luo even missed the taste of his mother's food and couldn't help but eat a few more bites.
Looking at the appearance of their daughter and Tianluo, the Zi Teng couple looked at each other and a smile appeared on their faces.
Not only Irina, they all like Tianluo very much. He is mature, polite, and hardworking. He lives alone after Tamako's death. It is hard to imagine that he is just a ten-year-old child.
The little naughty boy from the nearby Hyoudou family is about the same age as Tianluo and Irina, but he just does folding airplanes and playing in the mud in the park all day long. I heard that some time ago he often went to a perverted man to read some comic books about breasts, and as a result he learned to do it by showing off his breasts all day long, and has become a complete little pervert at a young age.
The couple couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it is true that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away.
"Tianluo, how have you considered what I told you before? With your excellence, you will definitely be given intensive training as long as you join the church."
As if remembering something, Shido Touji suddenly spoke to the sky.
As a devout church believer, Zi Teng Dongzhi thought it was a pity that such an outstanding talent like Tianluo did not join the church, so he proposed this matter to Tianluo a long time ago, and also revealed some secrets of the church to Tianluo.
Of course, these secrets are nothing more than how powerful the church is. The world is not as peaceful as it seems. In addition to the great gods and angels, there are also demons, monsters and other evil beings in legends. The church led by the gods is to protect humans from their harm. It is so bright, so great, etc.
Although Tianluo knew that Irina's father was doing this for his own good, he naturally would not agree to join the church. It was not yet the time of peace and friendship among all races in the later period of the original novel. Demons and fallen angels were all evil heretics to the church, and they would be killed on sight without mercy.
If I join the church and let them know that I still have half devil blood in my body, I'm afraid they will eliminate me immediately!
"I'm sorry, Uncle Zi Teng, I'm used to freedom and really don't want to join any organization."
Shaking his head, Tian Luo refused directly.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Shido Touji's eyes, and he was about to say something, but Irina's mother beside him spoke up:
"Dear, you should just preach in the church, not at home. If Xiao Tianluo doesn't want to join the church, don't force him."
After hearing what his wife said, Shido Touji could only smile bitterly and shook his head.
"Oh, forget it. Everyone has his own destiny. Since you don't want to join the church, I won't ask any more questions."
"Actually, because of some church matters, our family will move to England in a few days. If you had joined the church, we could have taken you with us. Unfortunately…"
The other party's words made Tianluo's heart move. He remembered that in the original book, Zi Teng's family moved abroad. Although he came to this world, his original destiny was still moving forward according to its trajectory, and now it is almost that time.

"Uncle Zi Teng, Aunt Zi Teng, no matter where you go, you will always be my beloved elders, and Irina will always be my best friend."
With a sincere look, Tianluo said solemnly.
Apart from the Zi Teng family, they had almost no contact with other people. Although Tian Luo felt a little reluctant, it was impossible for him to really join the church and go abroad with them.
"Hahaha… Well said! Stay here for dinner tonight and ask your aunt to prepare more of her signature dishes. Don't refuse this time."
Laughing loudly, Zi Teng Dongzhi patted Tianluo on the shoulder. Although it was a pity that he couldn't let Tianluo join the church, he liked Tianluo even more.
Touching his nose, Tian Luo naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only nod to show his agreement.
Because there were some other things, Shido Touji left first, and Irina's mother returned to the house after instructing the two to be careful and pay attention to safety during training, and prepared a sumptuous meal for dinner.
"Tianluo, why don't you join the church? Don't you believe in God? I tell you, God really exists. And not only God, but also powerful and beautiful angels."
After her parents left, Irina spoke to Tianluo excitedly.
Irina really hoped that Tianluo would join the church and leave with them, so that she could be with Tianluo without having to separate. However, even though she was cheerful and a bit thick-skinned, the girl's instinctive modesty still prevented her from saying anything so direct and bold.
"Ah, the god exists, but he is dead…"
With a slight smile on his lips, Tian Luo replied meaningfully.
She was stunned at first, then Irina was frightened and quickly covered Tianluo's lips with her hands.
"Tianluo, please don't say such things again. If father hears it, he will be angry even if it's you!"
Her face turned pale as Irina said solemnly.
For a devout believer, Tianluo's words were simply treasonous and it was no exaggeration to consider him a heretic. Fortunately, Irina was still young. Although she had been taught by her father to believe in God since she was a child, her faith was far from as strong as in the original book. So Tianluo's words did not make Irina angry. Instead, she was worried that her father would be angry with Tianluo if he heard it.
"Don't worry, I will only tell this secret to Irina, because Irina is special and I believe in Irina."
"What, what's so special? What are you talking about all of a sudden? Tianluo, what a joke!"
"I was saying that Irina is special, but I didn't expect that Irina also has such a cute side, hahahahaha…"
"Woo… damn Tianluo, how dare you laugh at me? I will bite you to death!"
