The Power of the Life and Death Talisman
The moment Lu Yuchen figured it out, he felt dejected. But he only wore a long face for a little while before remembering what he had come to say. His smile vanished, and he said seriously, "You two have something to discuss, right? I'll head back first. Sis, remember to come home early. Mom might be back soon. Also, I've noticed a car hanging around our neighborhood a lot. I don't know if it's after you, so be careful."
After saying that, Lu Yuchen pushed his way inside. Wang Yue watched his silhouette disappear into the night, then said to Xuan Mo, who had already started practicing, "Your brother's not bad. He just hasn't grown up yet."
Xuan Mo sat cross-legged, about to begin cultivating. She fell silent for a moment at Wang Yue's remark, then offered her assessment with great seriousness. "He's got guts, too. I thought he'd be too scared to come near me, but he even dared to follow me. With some proper training, he could be useful."
Wang Yue was speechless. What was she taking Lu Yuchen for, a soldier? He didn't pursue the topic. He closed the door and went back to coding. After turning on his computer, he noticed Xuan Mo watching him, apparently waiting for an answer. He could only say casually, "He's a boy, and you've never shown any intention of hurting him. Of course he doesn't care."
Xuan Mo took Wang Yue's words as agreement and nodded. She decided she'd talk to her adoptive brother when she got home. But before she could start cultivating, she suddenly remembered that Lu Yuchen seemed to be afraid of the ice talisman in Wang Yue's hand. Puzzled, she asked, "What is the Life and Death Talisman?"
