How About Going to the Body Sect?

Lin Xiao, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei.

The three of them stood around Huo Yuhao. Tang Ya and Bei Bei exchanged a glance, then turned to Lin Xiao together.

"Little fellow, do you know what happened to him?"

Bei Bei spoke gently, refined and composed.

At this point, Bei Bei's soul power was around rank 36, so he could easily tell that Lin Xiao had yet to reach rank 10.

At that level, he could hardly have done anything to Huo Yuhao.

Lin Xiao shook his head without saying a word and pointed at the Wind Baboon over there.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei followed his gaze.

Tang Ya exclaimed, "A ten-year Wind Baboon!"

A trace of regret flashed through Bei Bei's eyes. Why had he absorbed this Wind Baboon's soul ring?

"What a shame. Yuhao absorbed this soul ring."

Bei Bei sighed, clearly believing he already understood what had happened.

Tang Ya snorted. "So what if it's a ten-year ring? Isn't it just a little weaker? It's only his first soul ring anyway. He'll have more chances later."

Bei Bei smiled faintly. It seemed this sect master of the Tang Sect truly wanted him to join.

Meanwhile, inside Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea of consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had finished explaining everything to him.

"Kid, I'm going to sleep now. You should head out."

"There are three people outside waiting for you."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm circled around Huo Yuhao.

"Three people? Where did three people come from?"

Huo Yuhao immediately guessed that two of them must be Bei Bei and Tang Ya, but who was the third?

"I don't know. They mean you no harm, but the youngest fellow is rather extraordinary. Even I can't see through him."

"Kid, you'd better get on good terms with him."

Before Huo Yuhao could react to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words, he felt himself plunge into darkness.

"He's awake! He's awake!"

"Little Yuhao, you're finally awake! How do you feel?"

Tang Ya asked with concern, her face filled with delight.

Huo Yuhao's head buzzed as he hazily recalled his conversation with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

He looked around and immediately spotted Lin Xiao smiling.

"It's you!"

Huo Yuhao recognized him at once. Although quite some time had passed, the situation back then had been so dangerous that he remembered it vividly.

"Oh? Little Yuhao, you two know each other?"

Tang Ya's interest was piqued. Wonderful, they know each other! They can both join my Tang Sect in a moment. Hehehe.

Seeing Tang Ya's smile, Bei Bei smiled faintly as well.

"We've met twice. Nearly came to blows."

Lin Xiao spoke lazily, making it sound utterly trivial.

"Xiao Ya Jie, that's indeed what happened."

Huo Yuhao nodded in confirmation.

"No friendship without a fight! It's no problem at all," Tang Ya said cheerfully.

These were all promising seedlings for the Tang Sect's future. She couldn't let them slip away.

"Oh, right! Little Yuhao, you didn't absorb that Wind Baboon's soul ring, did you?"

Tang Ya asked anxiously. If he hadn't, there was still a chance.

Hearing her question, Huo Yuhao immediately released his soul ring. A white ring threaded with wisps of pale gold appeared beneath his feet.

But the faint gold soon vanished, leaving only white.

"I did it! I've become a Soul Master!!!"

Huo Yuhao jumped up excitedly.

"Ah, this child must be a little silly. If a ten-year soul ring makes him this happy, wouldn't a hundred-year ring drive him mad?"

Tang Ya sighed. What a foolish child.

Lin Xiao closely examined the million-year soul ring beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, thinking to himself, It really is well disguised.

Had he not known the truth, its appearance would genuinely have fooled him.

"Yuhao, is your martial soul related to the mind, by any chance?" Bei Bei interjected, looking at Huo Yuhao.

"My martial soul is the Spiritual Eye. It does have a mental attribute. Brother Bei, how did you know?"

Huo Yuhao asked, his innocent eyes wide.

Lin Xiao felt helpless. Even I could sense those fluctuations in your spirit power.

"I sensed fluctuations in spirit power just now."

"If I'd known, I would have had you come with us earlier. We could have found you a good soul ring."

Bei Bei still felt it was a shame, and a little regret stirred in his heart. Why hadn't he followed him earlier?

"It's all right, Xiao Ya Jie, Brother Bei, and you, brother."

"By the way, did you need something from me?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the three of them as he asked.

Lin Xiao said, "I was passing by."

Tang Ya said, "We were worried you might be in danger, so we came to check on you. When we arrived, we found you unconscious, with this little fellow keeping watch beside you."

Huo Yuhao nodded, the last of his wariness fading. Besides, Tian Meng had said there was no danger, so he could relax.

"Huo Yuhao, what do you plan to do next?"

Lin Xiao looked at Huo Yuhao as he spoke. Since he had snatched away one of the boy's fortuitous opportunities, he might as well offer him a reminder. The karmic ties of the Child of Destiny weren't something to become entangled in lightly.

"I..."

Huo Yuhao froze. That was right. He had achieved his short-term goal, but what should he do next?

Seeing Huo Yuhao freeze, Tang Ya's eyes immediately lit up. Wasn't this her chance?

Lin Xiao watched Tang Ya. Just as she was about to speak, he quickly said, "Yuhao, your martial soul is the Spiritual Eye."

"Since you don't know where to go, why not head to the Body Sect?"

"Your Spiritual Eye martial soul could develop very well there."

At Lin Xiao's words, Tang Ya was dumbstruck. No, no! I haven't even spoken yet! How can you try to steal him from me?

"Wait, wait! Hold on!"

Tang Ya immediately spoke up to stop him.

Huo Yuhao, however, had already begun considering it. Brother Sky Dream had just told him to befriend this person, so he had to give his advice some thought.

But before he could finish thinking it through, Tang Ya's voice interrupted him.

"Xiao Ya Jie, is there something wrong with what he said?"

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion. He had a body martial soul, so going to the Body Sect seemed like a valid option.

"Well, um..."

Tang Ya hesitated and looked at Lin Xiao. It's all this fellow's fault! If he hadn't brought up the Body Sect, I could have shown off the Tang Sect's splendor.

Knowing what Tang Ya was about to say, Lin Xiao prepared to leave. "Well, you carry on. I'll wait over there."

"Yuhao, once you've thought it through, come find me over there."

With that, Lin Xiao walked off in the other direction without looking back.

Tang Ya was about to bring up the Tang Sect. If he didn't flee now, when would he?

The farther he stayed from that disgusting sect, the better.

Bei Bei watched Lin Xiao leave with interest. This boy seemed to have quite an aversion to Tang Ya.

He didn't know that it wasn't Tang Ya whom Lin Xiao disliked, but the Tang Sect.

Watching Lin Xiao leave, Tang Ya huffed and stuck out her tongue.
