Chapter 2994 Karma
Are you testing me? asked Long Chen darkly.
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly. Dont be angry. As my sons boss, you can count as my junior. Im just joking with you.
Bai Xiaoles mother was truly terrifying. It was unknown what method she had used, but she had actually provoked the power of the primal chaos bead. If she was an enemy, he would be truly doomed. That was his greatest secret.
However, he was still angry. Even though he didnt sense any malice from her, his expression was ugly.
Haha, the nine star line does have explosive tempers. I already said it was just a joke. Why do you need to look like that? After all, if my foolish son wishes to be with you, I naturally must test you to see who you are. But I didnt think you were such a dangerous person, said the woman.
Long Chen felt profoundly powerless. This person had also seen through his identity. Then it wouldnt be too long before he was exposed.
Dont worry. I was able to see through your status because our line has a certain connection with the nine star line. Furthermore, I used my innate ability just now. There are not many inheritances in this world that my divine ability cannot see through. For it to be repelled in such a domineering fashion from just a look, even forcing karma onto me, then it could only be a handful of techniques. That still wasnt enough to confirm that you were a nine star heir though, so I tested you with my words just now, and well, everything is confirmed now, said Bai Xiaoles mother with a smile.
Long Chen bitterly smiled. I really am still too young.
I should have been able to tell you were a nine star heir from the start. However, your character is different from other nine star heirs, so I had to test you. The nine star heirs I know of are all lone wolves. They are so domineering and cold that no one can be near them. They are wild and dangerous. However, you are different from those nine star heirs. You can actually get along very well with others. I cannot comprehend such a thing, said Bai Xiaoles mother.
Get along very well with others? Long Chen shook his head. He hadnt been in the academy for long, but he already had enemies everywhere. Did that count as someone who got along well with others?
Nine star heirs are solitary existences with no family or friends. They have nothing tying them down, nothing that they care about. They are the bane of others existence, madmen no one dares to provoke, because as soon as a nine star heir is provoked, they will fight recklessly without even caring about their own lives, all to protect the dignity of nine star heirs. Due to this character, nine star heirs rarely manage to grow up. They dont know how to endure and will jump into obvious traps without hesitation. Its a distressing level of stupidity, but no one can change their character. You, however, are different from them. You have a slight softness to you. That slight softness might let you live longer. If you were the same as other nine star heirs, even if I had to break my sons legs, I wouldnt let him go with you, said Bai Xiaoles mother.
Senior, youve seen other nine star heirs? probed Long Chen.
You will also see them in the future.
Bai Xiaoles mother didnt directly answer him. Instead, she gave him a square jade plate. If you encounter some danger that you cannot handle, you can crush this. It will save your life. I leave Xiaole to you.
After saying that, Bai Xiaoles mother vanished. As for Long Chen, he appeared in the ruined headquarters of the Luo Gate with the jade plate in his hand.
Boss, did my mom say anything to you? Did she threaten you to drive me away? asked Bai Xiaole worriedly.
No, not at all. Your mom has given permission for you to follow me. Long Chen shook his head and probed Bai Xiaoles injuries. He was injured all over, with even his bones broken and his internal organs damaged. That father of his had not been light-handed.
However, Long Chen found that these wounds were healing on their own without any medical aid. Furthermore, there was some kind of special energy within those wounds. Long Chen was startled and suddenly understood.
Bai Xiaoles father definitely had his own reason for beating Bai Xiaole. He was infusing his own energy into Bai Xiaoles body. That would be his foundation for cultivating.
To send his own lifes core into someone elses body, that was not so simple. It came at an immense price, like shortening a persons lifespan.
It was no wonder Bai Xiaoles cultivation base progressed so quickly even with such low intelligence. So it was all thanks to Bai Xiaoles father.
Long Chen also realized what his father and mother were thinking. In order to keep their energy locked within Bai Xiaoles body longer, they needed to leave a deeper impression. To leave a deep impression on Bai Xiaole, it needed to either be a happy memory or a painful memory.
Painful memories were always remembered more deeply. Thus, every few months, the palace master would viciously beat Bai Xiaole. But every time he did, his own heart was pained. He couldnt say it, but neither of them had any other solutions.
Realizing this, Long Chen was moved inside. He couldnt help thinking of his own parents. If he could see them, he would be willing to be beaten every day.
Xiaole, take this jade. This is my peerless killing divine talisman. If your life is in danger, crush it and boss will descend from the heavens to save you. Long Chen handed the jade plate to Bai Xiaole.
Long Chen didnt say that it was given by Bai Xiaoles mother. He knew that in Bai Xiaoles mind, his father and mother werent worthy of trust.
Since Bai Xiaole treated Long Chens words as true, he excitedly took it. He was very careful, as if afraid he might accidentally break it.
Within the void, with layers of space folded around them so no one could see them, Bai Xiaoles father and mother quietly watched as Long Chen handed the jade plate to Bai Xiaole.
Bai Xiaoles mother sighed. Nine star heirs really are arrogant. They disdain accepting other peoples favors.
That little fellows not bad. Hes worthy of being my sons boss. Tch, fine, I wont quibble with him over that punch, said his father.
Zhantang, do you think that this is the will of the heavens? If it wasnt to save that nine star heir back then, I wouldnt have been injured, and Xiaole wouldnt be like this. Now Xiaole has encountered Long Chen, and he has changed. Is this the workings of destiny? Bai Xiaoles mother looked at Long Chen and Bai Xiaole.
Hmph, who cares if its destiny? If it werent for my father not permitting it, Id have long since dragged out that bastard and gotten our vengeance. Who cares about a disciple of Brahma? If they didnt have numbers, and it was instead one against one, Id have definitely been able to kill him, said the palace master irritably.
The deans wisdom is unfathomable. He understands the workings of the heavens, so he naturally has his own reasons for not letting us get revenge. Our vision is too shortsighted. We should listen to him, advised Bai Xiaoles mother.
Fine. I wont bother with those things. Since my father can accept a nine star heir into the academy, I feel like sooner or later, well have another chance to fight against Jia Luo. If that chance comes, Ill definitely kill him for you and Xiaole.
Alright, lets go. However, I feel like your chances for revenge arent high.
What? Are you looking down on me?
Fool, I just mean that you wont have that chance. Within the cycle of karma, the one to settle things might not be you. Jia Luo injured me, but he has also slain an unknown number of nine star heirs. Bai Xiaoles mother looked at Long Chen with a profound smile.
Her actual combat power was not as high as the palace masters, but she had a special innate divine ability to see through a persons potential. Bai Xiaole had also inherited a bit of that ability. He might not even be aware of it, but this was why he was determined to follow Long Chen. As for herself, she was even clearer than him on just how terrifying Long Chen was. This was something that even the palace master was unaware of.
I have a feeling that rivers of blood will flow this time in the Jialin Immortal Land, said Bai Xiaoles mother.
