Joining the Convoy, Displaying Appetite
"Deans, you don't need to be so polite."
Lin Xuan spoke calmly, while Xiao Wu tilted her head curiously, examining the lingering Soul Power aura on the three of them.
He secretly rejoiced after realizing that the other person had indeed noticed his true situation.
Although she had known this would happen, she was still overjoyed to see it for herself.
"The Fallen One are wreaking havoc on the continent, and it's a good thing to step in and clean them up. We just happened to be there and were helping out in a small way."
Lin Xuan's words were as casual as swatting a few flies.
"A little favor?"
The three travelers on the Feng Jingxing twitched slightly at the corners of their mouths. Recalling the pillar of light that had annihilated the Bone Fiend and exploded into fireworks a thousand meters high, they felt that the words "small favor" carried a terrifying weight.
He composed himself, cupped his hands, and said:
"Young friend, you flatter us. If it weren't for your intervention, we would have had to pay a considerable price to deal with those two Fallen One."
May I ask your esteemed name, young friend, and which teacher you studied under?
We can visit them later.
The purpose of the Feng Jingxing was nothing more than to find out about the background of Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu.
Then we'll see how to handle it.
Should we treat them as peers or revere them as ancestors?
As for coveting it?
Don't be ridiculous. Without knowing Lin Xuan and his group's background, these people wouldn't dare to even consider it, even if they had eight hundred lives.
"Oh, my name is Lin Xuan, and this is Xiao Wu. We just graduated from the Elementary Soul Master Academy. We heard that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is being held this year, so we're planning to go check it out."
Lin Xuan said with a smile.
At this point, the more you try to hide it, the more deliberate and pretentious it will seem.
However, the more open and transparent the approach, the better the deterrent effect.
The three exchanged glances, realizing that Lin Xuan's words were essentially meaningless. They wanted to probe Lin Xuan 'Lin Xuan background, but he hadn't revealed a single useful piece of information.
"What a coincidence, our Three Elements Academy is also preparing to participate in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition."
"Young friend Lin Xuan, young lady Xiao Wu, if you don't mind, you can come with us. It'll be good to have someone to look after you on the way."
Feng Jingxing extended an invitation.
Putting everything else aside, Lin Xuan's unknown background alone makes him worth winning over. If they were to encounter any danger again, Lin Xuan would be like a guardian angel.
Lin Xuan looked at Xiao Wu.
Just then, Xiao Wu also looked at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan saw a burning curiosity in Xiao Wu's eyes.
And it just so happens that the bad Fortune that caused this dangerous trip has passed, so it shouldn't involve others, right?
Let's try it?
"Alright, thank you very much, three deans. You've been a great help on your journey!"
Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.
"No problem, I'll take you to our convoy first!"
Feng Jingxing smiled slightly and asked.
"This is troublesome!"
Lin Xuan nodded, deciding to avoid walking if possible.
Seeing that Lin Xuan did not refuse, Feng Jingxing directly raised his hand and created a hurricane to lift Lin Xuan, Xiao Wu, and the horse up, and then quickly headed towards the new camp.
Previously, in order to deal with the Fallen One, Feng Jingxing used a powerful move to destroy the original camp.
Although no one was seriously injured, the rest camp needed to be rebuilt.
With a Soul Douluo leading the way, Lin Xuan and his companions covered a distance of several thousand meters in just over ten seconds.
As soon as they landed, a large crowd swarmed around them.
That spectacular cannon shot earlier startled more than just the Feng Jingxing.
"Grandpa, are you alright?"
A handsome young man with red hair and a strand of golden hair hanging down his forehead, and a neat young woman with short red hair, immediately came forward and asked Huo Linyun a question.
"Grandma!"
A girl with long, wavy blue hair greeted Shui Yanrou.
His eyes were full of worry.
"Don't worry, they're just two rats in the gutter, what trouble can they cause?"
Huo Linyun laughed and ruffled the hair of Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.
Shui Yanrou gently rubbed Shui Bing'er's head and shook her head lightly to indicate that everything was alright.
The others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the three return.
"By the way, let me introduce you. These two are young friends we met from outside. They are also heading to the Heaven Dou Imperial City, just like us. Please take good care of them in the coming days."
Looking at Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er, Feng Jingxing couldn't help but think of his unlucky grandson Feng Xiaotian. His heart tightened, but he still forced himself to suppress his emotions and introduced Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu to everyone.
Everyone then turned their attention to Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu.
They look like siblings, but it seems the younger brother is the leader.
They were all exceptionally good-looking, though their clothes were rather ordinary. Yet, the fact that they were taken care of by three deans meant they must possess extraordinary qualities.
So they all nodded slightly to Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu as a sign of friendliness.
"Young friend Lin Xuan, Miss Xiao Wu, please forgive me, I have some matters to attend to and will not keep you company any longer."
Feng Jingxing was already suppressing his inner eagerness by spending so much time talking with Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu here.
"Understood. If the three deans have something to attend to, please go ahead and take care of it. We'll be fine with whatever we need."
Lin Xuan was also aware of the current situation.
He didn't even consider having the three Soul Douluo accompany him.
"Thank you for your understanding, young friend. Wushuang, Huo Wu, please take good care of our two guests and don't be impolite."
Huo Linyun also breathed a sigh of relief.
He's really not used to interacting with children as peers.
Fortunately, the task can be entrusted to grandchildren.
"Bing'er, you should also help take good care of them."
Shui Yanrou didn't say much. After giving some instructions to Shui Bing'er and nodding to Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu, the three of them disappeared from their sight at the same time.
They were quite worried because Feng Xiaotian had been bitten by Bone Fiend in a fit of rage and was still unconscious.
Theoretically, teams can only bring their own players, but Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er have powerful connections.
Besides, this is a grand event in the Soul Master World, so it's not a bad idea to bring the younger generation out to broaden their horizons.
Now that the three with the most power have left, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er naturally took over the task entrusted by their elders to receive Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu.
"I am Huo Wushuang from the Blazing Fire Academy. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Huo Wushuang naturally had to bite the bullet and face Lin Xuan. For some reason, Huo Wushuang always felt a sense of unease when facing Lin Xuan.
I subconsciously lowered my stance a bit.
"Lin Xuan, a free spirit, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Lin Xuan stepped forward and stopped Huo Wushuang from bowing down.
Huo Wushuang was also taken aback when his hands were held.
What the hell? Why is he bowing to a child?
Ignoring Lin Xuan and Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er went to meet Xiao Wu.
One Huo Wu and the Xiao Wu was gentle and quiet; both had fiery personalities, and they hit it off immediately.
The three of them didn't forget to entertain Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu, and after their initial introductions, they quickly became acquainted.
The banquet began quickly after the accommodations were arranged.
It's safe to say that this is a major power; their preparations were truly thorough.
They practically brought the cafeteria here.
The campfire crackled and popped, illuminating the campsite brightly.
The long wooden table was laden with steaming dishes: roasted meat until it was charred and glistening with oil, crystal-clear Spirit Rice, fresh fruit coated in honey, and even several jars of sealed fruit wine. The aroma wafted far and wide on the evening breeze.
Xiao Wu couldn't wait any longer. She picked up a skewer of roasted meat and started munching on it, her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel stealing food, her eyes sparkling.
"Wow, this is so delicious! It's so much better than what I've been eating these past few days!"
Lin Xuan didn't say anything, but proved it with his actions.
The plates in front of him piled up into a small mountain almost instantly.
With a whole braised pork knuckle in his left hand and a handful of Spirit Rice in his right, before he could even swallow, his chopsticks had already targeted another plate of fried Spirit Mushroom, moving so fast that they were just afterimages.
There's absolutely no image to speak of.
He stopped caring about that stuff a long time ago, and besides, if you're too concerned about your image when it comes to eating, you won't get full!
Huo Wushuang had just picked up a piece of roasted meat when she caught sight of Lin Xuan's posture, and her hand froze, almost swallowing the meat in her mouth.
He'd lived a long life and seen plenty of Soul Master who could eat a lot, but he'd never seen one who could eat this much.
Three large bowls of fine rice were already empty in front of Lin Xuan, and the plate of braised pork knuckle, which weighed at least two pounds, was almost empty as well. However, he didn't seem to feel full at all, as if he had eaten air, not delicacies.
"This... this appetite..."
Huo Wu stopped chatting with Xiao Wu, her almond-shaped eyes widening, and she almost poked herself with the bamboo skewer in her hand.
She originally thought she had a pretty big appetite, but compared to Lin Xuan, it was nothing.
Shui Bing'er, who was usually quiet, couldn't help but frown slightly, her clear eyes filled with surprise.
She could sense that Lin Xuan wasn't deliberately releasing his Soul Power, but his digestion speed and food intake were unlike those of an ordinary young Soul Master; rather, they resembled some kind of Soul Beast with an astonishing appetite.
Xiao Wu seemed used to it and even handed Lin Xuan a jar of fruit wine.
"Brother Xuan, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. Try this, it's delicious!"
Lin Xuan gave a muffled reply, took the wine jar with his left hand, tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful, his right hand not stopping for a moment, then poured a plate of Crystal Shrimp Paste into his mouth.
In just one minute, six empty plates and four empty wine jars were piled up in front of him, and nearly a third of the dishes on the long table had been eaten.
The other Soul Master around the camp also noticed the commotion and cast surprised glances, whispering amongst themselves.
"My God, how long has this guy not eaten?"
"This isn't eating, it's devouring food like a whale!"
"The people brought by the three deans are indeed extraordinary... even their food is extraordinary!"
Huo Wushuang swallowed hard and tentatively handed over a plate of roasted lamb leg:
"Brothers Lin Xuan, eat slowly, there's still plenty..."
Lin Xuan took the lamb leg and mumbled:
Thanks.
Before he could finish speaking, he devoured the roasted lamb leg, which was thicker than his forearm, in just a few bites.
Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They finally "understood" why the three deans valued this seemingly ordinary boy so much.
Their unfathomable physical foundation alone far surpasses that of these young Soul Master.
To be able to consume so much food without using Soul Power, relying solely on physical exertion, just how terrifying must one's physical abilities be?
Lin Xuan didn't care what others thought. He didn't put down the last empty plate until his stomach was completely full, and let out a satisfied burp.
The main reason is that you can't find this kind of delicious food in Nuoding City.
He looked at the three dumbfounded people and smiled slightly.
"It tastes good, thank you for the treat."
Having eaten and drunk his fill, he now felt extremely fond of the three of them.
And they didn't complain about how much he ate.
Look, what a wonderful virtue!
Huo Wushuang: "... No, you're welcome. I'll give you as much as you want!"
But in his heart he was thinking: This isn't a matter of having enough; they're afraid they'll bankrupt our convoy!
In one meal, Lin Xuan single-handedly provided the equivalent of almost everyone's rations for the entire convoy.
If we don't speed up our journey or resupply along the way, we probably won't even make it to the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
It can only be said that Lin Xuan completely astonished these three naive Xiao Bai during this meal!
