Long Road to Stardom

Sun Xiuyuan stared at all this in a daze, but compared to before, his psychological endurance was much better.

After Lin Xing finished all this, he looked at Sun Xiuyuan who was standing there in a daze and said, "It's already the middle of the night, why don't you go back? Aren't you afraid that your mother will worry?"

"Yeah, it's time to go back."

"Goddess, where are you going?"

"I..." Lin Xing pointed at himself.

He glanced at Sun Xiuyuan and continued, "I have no idea where I'm going, and I advise you that since you've embarked on this path, you must be more careful and don't trust anyone. The people you meet on this road are basically just passers-by."

"Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Although I haven't attacked you yet, maybe one day we will meet in battle."

"I'm leaving. We'll meet again if we're destined to."

After Lin Xing finished speaking, he turned and left, and soon disappeared in front of Sun Xiuyuan.

Sun Xiuyuan stared blankly at the goddess's departing back, with indescribable melancholy in his eyes.

After a long while, he finally walked towards home.

The starry sky is vast and the moon is faint.

Lin Xing rushed to Sun Xiuyuan's house first, as there was something she had to get to the bottom of.

In order to prevent previous accidents, she hid her figure before walking in.

As soon as she came in, she noticed something was wrong.

"This deathly aura is a little too strong."

As time was running out, she went directly to the source of the dead energy.

The source was Sun Xiuyuan's mother, and Lin Xing was not surprised at all.

"But how could she die so suddenly? Although her body was not detected during the day, I estimate that she still had three days to live."

"Did someone harm him?"

"But there's no sign of anyone else here, and her face looks peaceful, so she doesn't look like she's been harmed by anyone."

With a puzzled look in his eyes, Lin Xing released his spiritual energy to probe into Ji Yilan's body.

Most of the spiritual energy was consumed as soon as it entered her body, but she still managed to detect something.

After going back and forth several times, she finally examined the entire body in front of her.

"But this seems too far-fetched. This man is poisonous all over. I don't know how he has lived so long."

If she guessed correctly, the poison should have been transferred from Sun Xiuyuan's father.

"No wonder her life force couldn't save her. Her emotions were devoured by the poison."

"Fortunately, she was careful at first and didn't use her spiritual sense to investigate, otherwise this poison would probably devour even her spiritual sense."

Lin Xing thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any introduction to this poison.

Thinking that the poison was so powerful, she didn't think twice and took great effort to extract a little and placed it in a porcelain bottle.

After observing for a while and making sure that the poison had no corrosive properties, he put it away with confidence.

Just as she was about to get some more, she noticed that the roadblock she had set up on the way here was touched. She thought it must be Sun Xiuyuan who had returned.

He had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​extracting the poison, and after clearing away all the deathly air here, he left.

As soon as Lin Xing left, Sun Xiuyuan returned home, but he was not used to the dead and gloomy atmosphere of the house.

In the past, no matter how late he came back, his mother would light candles and wait for him to come back.

"Could it be that mother is mad at him?"

Sun Xiuyuan went straight to his mother's room and saw that the door was closed. He thought his mother was asleep, so he had to go back to his room, but his heart could not calm down.

However, after a whole day, he was exhausted both physically and mentally by what had happened, and he soon fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

The next day, Sun Xiuyuan woke up from his bed, looked out the window, and found that it was already noon, so he quickly got up and washed up.

When I walked out of the room, I found that my mother's room was closed. I suppressed my doubts and whispered, "Mom, are you up?"

"Mom, please say something. I don't blame you."

"mother…"

Sun Xiuyuan shouted outside the door for a long time but no one answered. He suddenly became panicked and slammed the door.

Seeing that the person inside still had no reaction, Sun Xiuyuan directly pushed the door open. Seeing his mother lying quietly on the bed, he felt relieved.

With such a big commotion, how come his mother didn't react at all?

The more Sun Xiuyuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He looked at his mother's face and found that her complexion was paler than ever, and her lips were completely bloodless.

Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and he rolled and crawled towards his mother.

When he came to the bed, his hands could not stop trembling. When he touched his mother's face, a cold touch came over him.

He retracted his hand instantly, slumped to the ground, and muttered to himself, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

At this moment, he seemed to be abandoned by the whole world, weak and helpless.

Lin Xing, hiding in the dark, watched all this silently. Last night, while Sun Xiuyuan was asleep, she extracted a lot of toxins from his mother's body.

Seeing how distraught he was, I wanted to go over and comfort him, but then I felt something was not right. What if he thought I was the murderer? That would be hard to explain.

However, seeing him like this, she felt mixed emotions, but people always have to face it. Sooner or later, they will have to go through this, so it’s better to face it sooner.

Lin Xing took one last look, and this time she didn't look back, and left quietly.

Passing by the village where he had temporarily lived, Lin Xing suddenly thought of the rumors he had heard in the teahouse. After thinking it over, he decided to go down and take a look.

But was this devastated village really where she had temporarily lived?

Lin Xing suppressed his doubts and walked inside. Not long after he went, he saw the corpses of villagers lying all over the ground.

She walked around the entire village in disbelief, but didn't find a single survivor. Especially when she saw the tragic deaths of the grandfather and grandson, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

But she couldn't find any clues, and couldn't even avenge them.

"After all, it was me who implicated you."

"She was wrong. She shouldn't have anything to do with mortals."

At this moment, Lin Xing felt extremely regretful, but it was too late. The price she paid was that the entire village died because of her.

Recalling everything that happened here, it seems like it happened just yesterday.

It's only been a short time and it has become like this.

Lin Xing buried the bodies of the villagers one by one with a heavy heart, and then razed the entire village to the ground, as if it had never existed.

When burying the body, she finally found some clues from the body, but not enough to find the murderer.

All we know is that every villager had their souls searched. You can imagine how cruel that person's methods were. They were just a group of mortals, but he even used soul-searching techniques.

She didn't know whether she should be thankful that she had forgotten to lift the restrictions on the grandfather and grandson, so the soul-searching technique was completely useless on them. But because of this, they were tortured extremely cruelly, and there was not even any skin left on their bodies that was almost intact. In the end, they committed suicide.

When Lin Xing discovered this, he was extremely touched and secretly swore in his heart that he would avenge them.
