Long Road to Stardom

As soon as she opened her eyes, Lin Xing met several pairs of big, round eyes staring at her. Looking at their clothes, she almost thought she had come to ancient times. She looked up at the buildings nearby, which were quaint yet somewhat dilapidated.

"No, what's going on? Could it be that she really came to ancient times?"

She was sleeping in her own yard, so how could she appear here?

Lin Xing was a little confused. He just sat up, but he felt dizzy again and fell back onto the bed.

"What's going on? She's only in her twenties, in her prime years. How come her health has deteriorated so much?"

"It won't be worn by an old man!"

Just as she was daydreaming, a little boy next to her saw Lin Xing's actions and hurriedly stopped her, "Don't move, you just woke up. I'll go get you a glass of water." After saying that, he turned and left.

Lin Xing came back to his senses after hearing this and looked at the other two children beside him, a little boy who was about five or six years old, and a little girl who looked to be around eight years old.

Lin Xing cleared his throat and used his eloquent tongue to successfully get the whole story of the incident.

It turned out that she fainted by the river and was rescued by the boy from before. The two of them were separated from their families and brought here by another Brother Chen.

She is currently in a dilapidated temple outside the capital of the 'Yueling Kingdom'. A Fairyland Conference will be held in a few days, and all children between the ages of five and fifteen can go to test their spiritual roots. Those with spiritual roots will be taken to the fairyland by the national teacher to practice.

This is a conference held every ten years by the 'Moon Spirit Kingdom', so every time this time comes, there are a lot of children coming to the capital from all over the place, and that's how the two of them got separated from their families.

Lin Xing listened to the little girl's endless explanation and roughly understood his current situation.

It seems that I have traveled to an unknown world, but my luck is pretty good as I happened to catch up with the Immortal Conference. If I had spiritual roots, I could go and practice immortality. When Lin Xing thought of this, he was very excited.

"No, she is already 23 years old. The Immortal Fate Conference requires people under 15 years old. I suddenly felt sad again."

And there was a high possibility that she would be reborn as an old man. She felt more and more uncomfortable. Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, a voice came over.

"The water is coming."

This is the voice of the little boy just now.

Lin Xing looked at the little boy sitting beside the bed with a cup of water on a shaky small table beside him. He lifted the boy up with one hand and with the other hand picked up the water on the table and brought it to her mouth.

She quickly refused. How could an adult like her let a child feed her? She took the bowl of water from the boy.

"Hey, why did her hands become so small? What's going on?"

"Little sister, drink it quickly."

"Little sister? Are you calling her?"

Lin Xing was confused. She picked up the water and was about to drink it when she found that her reflection in the water looked exactly like her when she was a child.

The boy next to her urged her to drink water. Lin Xing suppressed the doubts in her heart and drank all the water in the bowl in one breath.

When the boy saw Lin Xing finish drinking the water, he took the bowl away and told her to rest more.

Lin Xing didn't pay attention at all. She raised her hand and looked at it in confusion, and found that her palm was like a child's. Could it be that she was in the body of a child? But why did her appearance look the same as when she was a child? And the clothes she was wearing now were the pajamas she wore when she slept in the yard.

Carefully recalling every moment in the yard.

"Could it be because of that jade pendant?"

She remembered that when she was six years old, she took a jade pendant from a small wooden box in her grandmother's room and went out to play, and she accidentally left blood on the jade pendant.

When she was about to take it for cleaning, she found that the bloodstains on the jade pendant had disappeared at some point. She was still young at that time and didn't think too much about it. She was about to put the jade pendant back quietly, but was discovered by the old lady and was beaten.

After her grandmother passed away, she was sorting out her belongings in the yard and found this jade pendant. She held the jade pendant in her hand, reminiscing about her childhood, and then fell asleep.

Thinking of this, Lin Xing felt all over his body and found that there was nothing on him.

"Isn't this the reason?"

Lin Xing's head hurt from thinking about it, but he couldn't figure out why.

"Forget it. I'll just make the best of it. Even if I find it, what can I do? I might as well think more about my plans after coming to this strange world."

Lin Xing could only comfort himself in this way, and fell asleep unknowingly.

She didn't know how long she slept before she woke up from her sleep hungry.

When the people around saw Lin Xing wake up, they surrounded him and rushed to express their condolences.

Lin Xing was about to respond to them when his stomach made an inopportune sound, "Gurgle. Gurgle.. Gurgle..."

She lowered her head in embarrassment and heard a chuckle beside her.

Looking up, I saw a child about fifteen years old. After asking during the day, I estimated that he was the Brother Chen they were talking about.

She twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The child handed over a bun and said, "Hey, eat it!"

Lin Xing took the bun and started eating it silently. The three children around her looked at the bun in her hand, swallowing their saliva with envy.

She felt a little hesitant to eat the buns for a moment and was about to divide them into several portions, but then she saw Brother Chen took out three more buns and gave one to each of them. Only then did she feel at ease and started eating.

When Brother Chen saw Lin Xing finish eating the buns, he asked, "How did you faint by the river? Did something happen?"

Lin Xing immediately thought of a melodramatic story. With tears in her eyes, she pretended to wipe away her tears and began to describe it vividly, "My mother passed away when I was three years old. Not long after my mother passed away, my father remarried and beat and scolded me every day. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran away from home."

On the way, she heard someone say that there was a fairy meeting here, which recruited children of her age, so she followed others all the way here. She wanted to go to the river to drink water, but she fainted because she was too hungry.

After Lin Xing said this, the people around her looked at her with sympathy, which made her suddenly feel a little guilty.

After hearing these words, Chen Sheng wanted to ask her where her home was so that he could send her back, but he took the words back before he even asked it. He just told her to have a good rest and not to think about anything else.

Fortunately, there are no human traffickers at this time, otherwise in the past I would have been kidnapped and sold.

Lin Xing watched Brother Chen leave, thinking that her bloody story was quite realistic and no one noticed the loopholes. She really was a genius.

Two days passed and Lin Xing was getting moldy from lying in bed. It took a lot of persuasion to get her out of bed. She walked out of the dilapidated temple, breathed the fresh air outside, and felt like she was alive again.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Xing looked at the little girl beside him and said, "Sister Su Qing, can you take me to the river to relax?"

"That won't do. Brother Chen said you're still very weak and asked me to keep a close eye on you and not take you around." Su Qing rejected Lin Xing's request righteously.

Seeing this, Lin Xing hugged Su Qing's thighs, raised her head and said to her with watery eyes, "Sister Su Qing, I'm just going to take a look. I won't run around. Just take me with you."

"Okay, stop looking at me like that. I'll take you there."

When Lin Xing heard this, he smiled triumphantly.

When she arrived at the river, she didn't feel familiar at all. It seemed that she couldn't find the reason for coming here.

Feeling somewhat disappointed, he prepared to go back, but Su Qing next to him had already run to a small beach near the river to play, so he had no choice but to follow him.

"Children are always a source of worry."

He completely forgot that he was also a child, younger than Su Qing.

Lin Xing played with Su Qing for a while before persuading her to go back. He also promised her that he would come back to play again in the future, and then returned to the ruined temple.

When I returned to the dilapidated temple, I saw Brother Chen and the others preparing dinner. I hurried forward to help, but was stopped and told to just watch from the side.

After dinner.

Brother Chen stared at Lin Xing for a while. She thought that Brother Chen had discovered something and was thinking about how to make up an excuse to get away with it. Then Brother Chen's voice rang in her ears, "Lin Xing, the Immortal Fate Conference will be in three days. Do you want to go with us?"
