Lin Xiao’s sigh didn’t seem like anything to Yao Lao.
Lin Xiao found a place to sit down, ordered a pot of tea, and drank it in big gulps.
“Having strong luck isn’t always a good thing.”
The old apothecary’s thoughtful voice reached Lin Xiao’s ears.
Lin Xiao swallowed hard and said, “Huo Yuhao had an unhappy childhood, teacher.
Is this what you mean by ‘not a good thing’?”
Lin Xiao naturally knew these things.
In this world, those with extraordinary luck either lost their parents or were betrayed by having their bones dug out.
Perhaps this was the price of gaining luck.
It is precisely because of these experiences that the opportunities I gained in my later growth were so continuous.
But Huo Yuhao was different.
His luck was too strong, and he was taken advantage of and forced to be trained like a dog.
Alas, how pitiful.
Opportunities abound, but hardships are truly tough.
Being targeted by the big boss right from the start is awful.
“This is just one thing; there are many more hardships to come.
Once you overcome them, you will be unique in the world.”
“But most people are not that many outstanding, and those who can withstand good fortune are ultimately a minority.”
“I wonder if this little guy can handle it.”
The old doctor sighed.
Fortunately, his disciple’s luck wasn’t that strong.
If he cultivated diligently, even if he wasn’t the best, he would still be a rare expert in the world.
“Whether it’s a dragon or a worm, we’ll find out later.”
“Perhaps he didn’t want that so-called luck, he just wanted his mother to live.”
Lin Xiao continued speaking to himself, saying that Huo Yuhao probably wished his mother were still alive.
If he were to exchange all his luck for his mother’s rebirth, he probably wouldn’t hesitate for a second.
This is Huo Yuhao, a loyal and righteous, yet tragic figure.
“Little one, follow them first, that person has made another move.” The old apothecary’s urging voice came again.
Lin Xiao paid for the tea and then followed.
A month later, Lin Xiao finally followed Huo Yuhao into the Star Dou Great Forest, but they were not yet within the Star Dou Great Forest itself.
But thankfully, it was all worth it.
Lin Xiao followed slowly behind him, and with Yao Lao’s cover, Huo Yuhao couldn’t detect him at all.
After arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Xiao left and began searching on his own.
“Wooden sign!”
Standing in front of the road sign, a smile appeared in Lin Xiao’s eyes.
This was the sign.
“Little one, two people are coming over there.”
The old doctor sensed something and gave a reminder.
At this moment, besides the two remaining members of the Tang Clan, the only other person nearby was Huo Yuhao.
The old doctor said there were two people, which must be Beibei and Tang Ya.
I knew I would run into him, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
Heading in this direction, I guess I’ll run into Huo Yuhao soon.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiao prepared to leave.
Lin Xiao had just turned around when he heard footsteps behind him.
Holy crap.
They got here so fast?
“Hey, kid in front.”
Before they had even left, a clear, crisp female voice rang out.
Lin Xiao turned his head slightly, and a girl with an oval face, phoenix eyes, and bright, beautiful eyes came into his view.
Behind the girl, a boy with short, dark blue hair stood with his hands behind his head, a posture that was completely at odds with his refined and scholarly demeanor.
“Little Xiaozi, have you taken a fancy to this girl?”
The old doctor’s teasing voice reached Lin Xiao’s ears.
Lin Xiao spoke softly, “Teacher, I’m only six years old this year!”
“Ahem.” The old doctor coughed awkwardly a few times.
“Are you calling me?” Lin Xiao pointed to himself and looked at Tang Ya and Bei Bei before speaking.
Is there anyone else here besides you?
The girl took two steps at a time and came up to Lin Xiao, looking him up and down.
You’re such a cute little thing, you’d be perfect to join my Tang Clan!
“Sister and brother, is there something you need from me?” Lin Xiao asked slowly.
Could these two be trying to get him to join the Tang Clan?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Lin Xiao turned around and tried to run away.
“Little friend, why are you here all alone?”
Tang Ya gave Lin Xiao a persuasive look and stared at him.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly.
“Never mind,” he thought, “it’s best not to get too involved.”
He wasn’t sure if Tang Shenwang was watching from heaven, so he figured he’d better slip away as soon as possible.
Lin Xiao stepped back slightly: “See you again, brother and sister.”
After saying that, Lin Xiao took off running.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei’s eyes widened instantly upon seeing this.
“Beibei, do I look like a child trafficker?”
Tang Ya lost her confidence, looking dejected and confused as she gazed at Bei Bei.
Bei Bei gave a wry smile: “My great Tang Clan leader, your thoughts are written all over your face.”
“Next time, next time, before you reveal your purpose, build up the relationship first.
There’s no rush.”
He knew Tang Ya’s thoughts.
Although the little one’s soul power was not high, it would still be good for her to join the Tang Sect.
“Hmph, you don’t need to tell me.
Just remember to remind me next time.”
Tang Ya snorted softly, tossed her hair, and walked away.
Beibei reluctantly followed.
Lin Xiao on the other side had already stopped.
It was obvious that Tang Ya was trying to lure him into the Tang Clan.
Pah!
We’d rather avoid this place than join?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
“Little one, women are like poison.
In the eyes of the strong, they are all pink skulls.”
“You’ve managed to stay away from her; it seems you already have the potential to become a strong person.”
The old doctor’s mocking voice rang out, and although he spoke in a serious tone, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but feel that something was off.
“Teacher, I suspect you’re mocking me, but I have no proof.”
Lin Xiao spoke up helplessly.
“hehe.”
The old doctor laughed, but didn’t say anything more.
Lin Xiao looked around and returned to the road sign.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei had already left.
Following the road signs, Lin Xiao walked for about several dozen meters before stopping.
Then, Lin Xiao jumped onto a tree and closed his eyes to rest.
Now, we’re just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
“Little guy, I sense a powerful soul aura here.
In the words of this world, it’s spiritual power.”
“It’s almost imperceptible, very well hidden.”
Lin Xiao, who had been resting with his eyes closed, was startled awake by Yao Lao’s telepathic message: “Teacher, is it around here?”
Lin Xiao thought to himself that it should be in this vicinity, but as a million-year-old soul beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s spiritual power was also extremely terrifying.
“It should be.
The other party has very strong mental power.
In my current state, if I investigate carefully, the other party will discover me.”
The old doctor explained that he had only sensed it and hadn’t found the exact location.
Lin Xiao understood.
Since that was the case, he decided to let it go, since the other party would come out on their own soon anyway.
