He extended his hand with an evil idea, slowly approaching Ling Luo. But the moment he was close to Ling Luo's face, Lin Xiao suddenly came to realization.
Heaven, what was he thinking just now?
When he was about to retreat his hand, Ling Luo's eyelashes softly moved.
Waking up?
It was too late to withdraw his hand, but he could raise it, from the neck to the face, before Ling Luo's open eyes.
If there was an outsider on the scene, then they would see Lin Xiao's hand ambiguously staying in front of Ling Luo's face, a little forward and he could touch Ling Luo's face.
Lin Xiao and Ling Luo glanced at each other.
Lin Xiao retreated his hand while coughing awkwardly.
Ling Luo felt doubtful and looked at the slightly reddened Lin Xiao. He asked Xuan Ye inside him: "When I was practicing, did I come across something?"
Recalling the time when Lin Xiao has rubbed his jade pendant over and over, Xuan Ye unfriendly replied: "He wanted to rub your face."
Rub his face? Why? Was there something on his face? In the past life plus this one, Ling Luo has always been a straight guy and never thought of exploring other fields or sides.
Looking at Ling Luo stroking his own face, Lin Xiao was even more embarrassed, hence he changed the topic: "Ling Luo, why am I here?" He pretended to not know what happened before.
Xuan Ye has clearly explained to Ling Luo that Lin Xiao's memory of him has been deleted. Ling Luo shook his head: "I don't know. When I came here to train, I saw you on the ground."
Nodding his head, Lin Xiao didn't investigate this matter anymore. He really gave up. Even if he knew the plot in advance and arrived at the cave earlier, in the end Xuan Ye wouldn't belong to him, right?
Perhaps he was doomed to be a supporting character? Anyway, changing his cannon fodder role was still alright.
Glancing at Ling Luo, Lin Xiao thought that right now he was like with the NPC in the game and had to raise the level of goodwill. The level of goodwill between him and Ling Luo shouldn't be high nor negative.
Lifting his head to look above, he didn't expect that in this short period of time when he was stunned, it was already noon. "Let's go back." he told Ling Luo.
Ling Luo nodded. Lin Xiao took the lead and walked outside. Ling Luo quietly followed while silently plotting.
An old soul was living in his own body, he didn't know if it was dangerous or not. At least for now, this soul didn't have any harmful intentions towards him, and according to this old soul Xuan Ye's statement, he could help him quickly grow stronger.
Lin Xiao's wide and flabby back wasn't good-looking and Ling Luo stared at it for quite some time. Xuan Ye informed him that Lin Xiao's cultivation was already at Huan stage.
He knew that, being part of a big clan, this Lin Xiao's achievement wasn't strange. But he also hoped that he would be capable enough to reach this stage.
Moreover, according to Xuan Ye's words, he had a large Refine Medicine Master's gift.
Lin Xiao decided to return to the Lin family right away.
Since the happy encounter was hopeless, he also strolled Nuo Han City but wasn't interested in staying there.
Leaving the weeping Lin Waner, Lin Xiao smiled to everyone — goodbye.
When stepping in the clan again, Lin Yue rotated Lin Xiao in a circle. Lin Yue rubbed his face distressed: "You lost weight again."
Pinching his own soft face, Lin Xiao became worried. Father, where did you see that I lost weight???
"Father, didn't you realize that my cultivation has risen by a bit?"
Hearing this question, Lin Yue examined his own son's cultivation, and exclaimed: "Good child, you advanced into the Huan stage High-rank." Lin Yue laughed heartily for a minute, but then he recalled something. He took out an envelope out from his bosom and passed it over to Lin Xiao.
"This is Yunqi Academy's enrollment request for this year, you've already attained it. Do you want to go?"
Lin Xiao excitedly looked at the Yunqi Academy's enrollment notice in his hands. Because in his past life he had just transmigrated, he couldn't adapt to this bizarre world. When he saw the Yunqi Academy's enrollment notice, he didn't choose to enroll.
So, when he wanted to sign up, he was too old.
It was written on the Yunqi Academy's enrollment notice—
'Welcome to everyone who are still not 13 years old and to those who are 13 years old. The teenagers who achieved Qi Refining Ninth-layer can attend Yunqi Academy. Trust our academy's strength, everybody knows it and we won't say more.
If you are interested in joining Yunqi Academy, please come to Yunqi Academy within a month to sign up, can't exceed the time limit.'
Indeed a bold enrollment notice…
It seems that in the plot, Xuan Ye helped Ling Luo quickly break through Qi Refining Ninth-layer, attending the school and his first girl should be in the Yunqi Academy, right?
There was also Lin Waner, that girl who has never been mentioned from the start to the end in the story.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao told Lin Yue: "Can we send this Yunqi Academy enrollment notice to Nuo Han City Lin family too? When I went in Nuo Han City, I discovered that they had a talented daughter."
Lin Yue nodded his head. For him, a notice of enrollment from Yunqi Academy wasn't a problem at all. Besides, Nuo Han City Lin family has done something for them. Lin Yue decided that he would also send some Cinnabar Medicine to the Nuo Han City Lin family.
Lin Yue said goodnight. Lin Xiao, who walked for an entire day, went to sleep.
Because Yunqi Academy was situated outside Nebula Nation and Refine Qi Country, there was some distance from the capital. Therefore, Lin Xiao, who didn't even stay in the family for a few days, hurriedly left again. This time Lin Xiao declined Lin Yue's decision to give him a bodyguard and went out alone.
As soon as Lin Xiao exited the capital, he breathed in the refreshing air… it was as Lin Waner had said, it felt good to be free.
About Lin Waner, Lin Xiao smiled. She should have already received the Yunqi Academy's enrollment notice. She should be on her way. Based on Lin Waner's cultivation talent and character, it was estimated that she would be well received in the Yunqi Academy.
He and Lin Waner were distant relatives, if they stayed together, there would be no problem. The past Lin Xiao may have chased after Lin Waner.
But after Murong Xue, he wasn't interested in that kind of beautiful and good girl, even taking her as a Goddess.
Right now he just wanted to rank up… He grew up fat, his stature wasn't that tall; except for the money in his family and the power in Nebula Nation, he didn't have anything else.
……
Walking and stopping. After a few days, Lin Xiao arrived in a village.
He was almost at the Yunqi Academy.
In the village he saw an adult hurriedly going to and fro with his child. There was also a youngster walking alone.
After reaching the Yunqi Academy, Ling Luo also stopped by this village.
Recalling the plot, Ling Luo seemed amiable, because on the way… he killed a secondary family's son of the Refine Qi Country to rescue a girl?
… Sure enough, every time the protagonist encountered danger, it would have something to do with a girl… this was also a crucial point for the protagonist's growth.
Hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiao didn't know if he should look for Ling Luo or not. In a while, Ling Luo would be searched for everywhere by that secondary family's Refine Qi Master. It could be said that afterwards it would be extremely dangerous.
But danger and opportunities coexisted together, isn't that right?
In the meantime, Ling Luo has obtained a lot of opportunities. Maybe he should look for Ling Luo to share the benefits? And in passing, raise Ling Luo's goodwill?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao walked towards a tavern in the village.
He remembered that after Ling Luo was amiable, he became indifferent. In the tavern, he had a conflict with a man and a woman who wanted to take his seat.
Maybe, this was his chance to build a connection with the indifferent Ling Luo.
