"Are you testing me?" Long Chen's face darkened as he spoke coldly.
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly: "Don't be angry. You're my son's eldest and my junior too. I was just joking with you." Bai
Xiaole's mother was extremely terrifying. No one knew what method she had used, but she had actually activated the power of the Chaos Pearl. If this person was an enemy, he would be finished. This was his biggest secret.
Although Long Chen was angry, he didn't sense any malice. Even so, his face remained grim.
"Hehe, the Nine Stars lineage really has a bad temper. I told you I was just joking with you, so why bother putting on a stern face?
After all, my foolish son was with you, so I definitely wanted to test your true nature. But I never expected you to be such a dangerous person. The woman giggled.
Long Chen felt a deep sense of helplessness. This man had seen through his identity, and if this continued, it wouldn't be long before his identity was exposed.
"Don't worry. The reason I was able to see through your identity is because our lineage has some connection with the Nine Stars lineage.
The innate divine ability I just used, the Mirror Dao, can glimpse a person's potential. In this world, there aren't many inheritances that can escape the scrutiny of my divine power.
Just one glance was domineeringly flicked away, and I was stained with karma. Such inheritance is extremely rare.
Originally, I couldn't be sure if you were a Nine-Star successor, so I tried to test you, and then I was able to confirm. Bai Xiaole's mother looked at Long Chen and smiled.
Long Chen gave a bitter smile: "As expected, I'm still too young." "
Originally, I could have been certain you were the Nine Star Heir, but your personality is different from all the others, so I wanted to test you.
The Nine Star successors I know are lone wolves in the wilderness—lone wolf in the wilderness. They act alone, domineering yet reclusive, wild and dangerous.
But unlike all the Nine-Star successors, you can get along well with others, and I can't understand that. Bai Xiaole's mother said.
"Getting along well?" Long Chen shook his head. He had only just arrived at the academy, and enemies were everywhere. How could that really be considered getting along well?
"The Nine Star successor is solitary, with no family, no friends, no attachments, and is a lone star of heavenly calamity."
The Nine Star Descendants are all madmen; no one dares provoke them, because once angered, they risk their lives, disregarding their own lives and only defending their honor.
Because of this personality, very few Nine-Star successors truly grow up. They don't know how to endure and will jump into obvious traps without hesitation—so foolish it's heartbreaking, but no one can change their character.
But you seem to be different. Compared to those Nine Star successors, you have a touch of femininity, and this gentleness might help you live longer.
If you're like the other Nine-Star successors, even if I break my son's legs, I won't let him follow you. Bai Xiaole's mother said.
"Senior, have you met other Nine-Star successors?" Long Chen asked tentatively.
"You'll see it again in the future."
Bai Xiaole's mother didn't answer Long Chen directly, but instead handed him a square jade token:
"If you encounter unstoppable danger, you can crush it. It can save your lives. Xiaole is in your hands."
"Whew."
After Bai Xiaole's mother finished speaking, she disappeared, and Long Chen reappeared at the ruins of Luomen's headquarters on the ruined mountain, now holding a jade token in his hand.
"Boss, did my mother tell you anything? Could it be that you're threatening me to drive me away? Bai Xiaole asked anxiously when he saw Long Chen.
"No, your mother allowed you to follow me." Long Chen shook his head and checked Bai Xiaole's injuries.
He found that many parts of Bai Xiaole's body were cracked by the shock, and his internal organs were damaged in multiple places. His father had really hit hard.
However, Long Chen discovered that Bai Xiaole's wounds needed no medication and had already begun to heal on their own.
Moreover, Long Chen discovered that some special power remained. He was stunned, then suddenly understood.
Bai Xiaole's father had a purpose in hitting Bai Xiaole; he stored his own power inside Bai Xiaole's body as the foundation for his cultivation.
Transferring one's own life essence into someone else's body comes at a huge cost—it can shorten one's lifespan.
No wonder Bai Xiaole's intelligence was so low, yet his cultivation progress hadn't fallen behind at all—it was all thanks to his father.
At the same time, Long Chen understood Bai Xiaole's parents' intentions. If they wanted the power to stay in his body longer, they needed to deepen his impression. For Bai Xiaole, who had a low IQ, it was either a happy memory or a painful memory.
And painful memories are left even more memorable, so every six months or months, the Hall Master would fiercely beat up Bai Xiaole.
But in reality, when it comes to their own child, the pain in their heart is beyond words. No one doesn't love their child, and the couple had no choice.
Seeing the couple, Long Chen was deeply moved and couldn't help but think of his own parents. If he could see them, he would rather be beaten every day than be willing.
"Xiao Le, keep this jade token safe. This is my Deadly Talisman. If you encounter fatal danger, just crush it, and I, the boss, will descend from the sky to save you from danger." Long Chen handed the jade token to Bai Xiaole.
Long Chen didn't say it was given by her mother. He knew that in Bai Xiaole's heart, neither of his parents was trustworthy, so he said it was his own.
Bai Xiaole believed it and was extremely excited, carefully putting away the jade token, as if afraid it might accidentally break it.
...
In the void, space overlapped and overlapped. In places invisible to people, Bai Xiaole's mother and the Hall Master quietly watched as Long Chen handed the jade token to Bai Xiaole.
Bai Xiaole's mother sighed and said, "The Nine Star successors are indeed very proud, disdainful of accepting others' favors." "
Kid, not bad. Worth my son acknowledging as the boss. Damn it, forget that punch, I'm not going to argue with him anymore." A look of admiration appeared in the Hall Master's eyes.
"Zhantang, do you think this is some kind of fate from the heavens? Back then, if we hadn't saved that Nine-Star successor, I wouldn't have been hurt, and Xiao Le wouldn't have done this either.
Now, after meeting Long Chen, Xiao Le has completely changed. Every sip and every bite—could it be predestined? Bai Xiaole's mother looked at Long Chen and Bai Xiaole's figures and couldn't help but ponder.
"Hmph, who cares if it's decided or not? If it weren't for my father's forbidden request, I would have gone to get revenge on that bastard long ago. So what if the disciples of Great Brahma Heaven are here?" If it weren't for their numbers, one-on-one, I could have killed him that time. The Hall Master said bitterly.
"The director is as wise as the sea, perceptive to heavenly secrets. He won't let us seek revenge, and there is a reason for that. We are shortsighted and should listen to the elder." Bai Xiaole's mother advised.
"Forget it, let's not worry about that for now. Since Dad can keep the Nine-Star heir at the academy, I think sooner or later I'll have another chance to fight Galo again. If the chance comes, I...I will definitely kill him to avenge Xiaole and you. "
Alright, let's go. I don't think the chances of your revenge are high."
"What?" Do you look down on me? "
Fool, what I mean is, you might not have that chance, because in the cycle of cause and effect, the one settling accounts may not be you.
That Galo injured me, but he killed countless Nine-Star successors. Bai Xiaole's mother spoke, her eyes fixed on Long Chen, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Her combat power was inferior to the Hall Master's, but she possessed a unique innate divine ability that allowed her to sense a person's potential. Bai Xiaole had inherited this part of her ability, which is why she clung tightly to Long Chen. As for her, she understood Long Chen's terror even better than Bai Xiaole, something even the Hall Master himself didn't know.
"I have a feeling that in Jialin Immortal Land, this time there will be mountains of corpses and rivers of blood." Bai Xiaole's mother looked at Long Chen and muttered to herself.
