A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

The further Luo Xing went with Lin Feng, the more she could sense the extraordinary nature of this child.

Especially at night, Luo Xing could even see a golden light emanating from the child's body using his spiritual eye.

The golden light seemed to fit perfectly along Henan Avenue.

Moreover, beneath that golden light, it seemed as if golden runes were flying up, ancient golden runes that even Luo Xing could not understand.

Luo Xing was certain that the golden inscription was no ordinary object, and it was even certain that this child had some connection with an ancient family.

Not only did Luo Xing discover Feng Qing'er, but he also discovered her.

Feng Qing'er's family is the Phoenix Family, so she is particularly sensitive to some ancient families.

Naturally, they could sense the extraordinary power of Lin Feng's bloodline.

That very night, Feng Qing'er found Luo Xing.

"Hey, don't you think this child is a little different?"

"Look at that child. Circulate your spiritual energy in your dantian and take a closer look at the child."

"The golden inscription on each child should not be of the contemporary race."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I am very likely a child left behind by some ancient family."

“I heard these things when my father was giving lectures.”

“In ancient times, some families have survived to this day, but most of these families are not on good terms with ordinary human cultivators.”

"Some of them even eat humans."

"However, these families are unconventional, usually guarding their own small territory or living in seclusion in the mountains. They rarely have the opportunity to meet human cultivators, but these things are still too distant and mysterious."

"For safety's sake, I suggest we just leave it behind if all else fails."

Luo Xing shook his head, rubbing his chin.

"No, after all, he's just a child. We can just ask him more questions. Besides, we've been walking for so long and haven't seen any hostility from him. If we just leave him here, he'll definitely be eaten by the monsters here. What's the difference between that and murder?"

As Feng Qing'er spoke, she turned to look around. In the dark mountains and dense forests, one could often see the eyes of demonic beasts, their gleaming pupils sending a chill down one's spine.

Moreover, it's not difficult to detect the beast's aura in the air.

If we follow Luo Xing's logic, then it really is somewhat dangerous.

"Alright, if that's how it is, then it's up to you."

"If anything happens to this child, I won't take responsibility for him."

As she spoke, Feng Qing'er once again adopted that aloof and superior demeanor.

Luo Xing was quite helpless; there was nothing he could do, as Feng Qing'er had always been like this.

After all, she is the phoenix family's most beloved goddess, a descendant of the phoenix bloodline.

If someone doesn't have a certain arrogance, then something is clearly abnormal.

What puzzled Luo Xing was why such a prodigy from a prestigious family would come to Zhongzhou with him for training.

"Feng Qing'er, if I may be so bold as to ask, why did you come to Zhongzhou with me?"

"And why do you want to go to Canaan Academy? If I remember correctly, your family should be quite far away from Canaan Academy, right?"

Feng Qing'er thought for a moment, finding it difficult to answer.

“You’re right. My family is in the northernmost part of the Central Continent, and this is now the southernmost part.”

"If I want to go home, I have to travel a very long distance."

"Or we can use a special teleportation stone from our family."

For example, during our last three-year agreement battle, several members of my family used teleportation stones to come over.

"But as for what I'm going to do at Jiangnan Academy, that's none of your business, and you don't need to make wild guesses. In short, I pose no threat to you."

Luo Xing shook his head helplessly and waved his hand. This woman is always like this.

I can't really worry about you, so why can't I say this? It's always better for two people to be honest with each other.

After discussing it, Luo Xing and Feng Qing'er decided to continue observing Lin Feng for a while longer.

They continued their journey through the mountains and forests. If all went well, they should be able to leave the mountain range and enter the territory of Zhongzhou in about a week.

As they walked, Luo Xing would occasionally ask Lin Feng questions, hoping to find out everything about the child.

Lin Feng looked to be no more than ten years old, his face appearing somewhat childish, yet also a little rough.

At least he doesn't look like a child from a wealthy family.

Moreover, there was something strange about him; his strong muscles were not something a child could develop.

"That Lin Feng, he's been gone for so long, and I still haven't asked you about your background."

"You've been with us for so long, don't your parents worry about you?"

"They must miss you a lot too. After all, parents always worry about their children."

Lin Feng had been very quiet the whole way, sometimes just looking down at the road, not even in the mood to talk or do anything else. Suddenly being asked this by Luo Xing stirred something within him.

He glanced at Luo Xing, then lowered his head again. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.

"My parents... I don't know where they went. I've never even seen them since I was a child. Do you know my parents?"

Luo Xing was a little confused. What did that mean? That's what he said.

“I was abducted and sold to Lingfeng Town when I was a child. I only found out when I was a little older. My adoptive parents were not my biological parents. They were my adoptive parents. I was abducted here by the Yinsha Sect when I was young.”

“When I was little, my adoptive parents treated me well, but as time went on, they seemed to discover that I was different from the other children.”

"Then later on, they became increasingly strange. They even wanted my blood. In the end, they even wanted to cut off my skin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xing's face turned ashen. Feng Qing'er behind him also paused, not knowing what to say, and could only stare wide-eyed in shock.

"What? Your adoptive parents want your blood and even want to cut off your flesh?"

"You bastards, what kind of adoptive parents are these?"

Feng Qing'er, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it either and immediately started cursing.

"The Yin Sha Sect is that damn Yin Sha Sect again."

"Back when we were on the ship, those bastards wanted to kill us and steal our treasure. We almost got caught by Yin Shafeng back then. And now it's them again."

"These bastards have committed countless evils. If we ever have the chance, we will definitely destroy the Yin Sha Sect's lair."

Luo Xing clenched his fist, thinking the same thing to himself. Those bastards from the Yin Sha Sect were indeed no good.

I thought that killing and robbing on the spaceship was bad enough, but I never expected that they would also be involved in such a black market business.

Luo Xing could hardly imagine how many homeless children from the Black Fiend Sect had been sold to remote areas.

"Lin Feng, do you feel like you're different from other people?"

Luo Xing could tell that this child was definitely not an ordinary person, which is why he suddenly said that.

But the next second, Lin Feng's words surprised him greatly.

Lin Feng nodded heavily.

He spoke with a certain ease.

"Big brother, let me tell you, I'm very strong!"

"I've always been much stronger than others since I was little, and I also have a lot of strange runes growing on my body, but you can't see them normally, you can only see them at night."

"Sometimes I can see those runes, sometimes I can't, and sometimes even I can't see them."

“Back then, my adoptive parents and I were living a good life, but one day they suddenly realized that I was different from other people’s children.”

"So they wanted to capture me and do some kind of experiment on me."

"And then it ended up looking like this."

Luo Xing was shocked by what the child said.

Feng Qing and the other two couldn't help but laugh.

"Look at you, kid, saying you're strong!"

"How much strength can a little kid like you have? Look at what you're saying, you're probably just physically strong since you were little, so it's understandable that you're stronger than the average person."

Liu Yan nodded.

“I think so too. Otherwise, how strong could he be? Look at how small he is.”
