The Pursuit?

What if the truth came out someday? Had they never considered that?

"So that's how it is. That Luo Luo girl already came looking for him." Su Lin shook her head helplessly. Clearly, she had seen all this coming long ago.

In any case, she knew it was only a matter of time.

"So, Xiaoqing, what do you think we should do?" Su Lin asked.

"I hope things can stay the same as before. As long as we keep this secret, Brother Xiaofeng won't find out!"

Hope shone in Ling Wanqing's eyes as she looked at Su Lin with a trace of pleading.

She would rather Ling Feng continued living in a lie than see the brother who had painstakingly cared for her since childhood become sad.

Perhaps Ling Xiaoyu felt the same way. Perhaps everyone did.

Ling Feng had never known he had a biological younger sister. Ever since he could remember, there had always been an older sister by his side who cherished him.

The hourglass of time quietly trickled away bit by bit, while the marks of the years were drawn stroke by stroke.

And beautiful memories often brought people warmth and emotion.

Who could have predicted the things that happened in this world?

Just as you could never know what kind of people or events you would encounter, you would never know when your fate would take a turn.

Sometimes, a careless glance or a chance encounter while passing by could rewrite a person's entire life.

If someone's memories suddenly underwent some tremendous change, would they shatter beyond repair?

You once believed that the star belonging to you would never fall. Yet when it truly did fall, you realized there really was no eternity in this world.

A person had to withstand lies, endure perfunctory treatment, bear deception, forget promises, let go of everything, and finally use a smile to hide the tears that fell.

No one was indispensable...

Su Lin nodded, and the weight on Ling Wanqing's heart finally lifted.

No one noticed the lonely figure leaning by the window.

Ling Feng raised his head and looked at the boundless night sky. In the end, he still chose not to go inside.

He had heard everything they said just now. For an instant, his heart had been shaken, but the feeling quickly faded away.

Ling Feng realized that his emotions were terrifyingly calm. Did he truly not care? Or was it simply that things had reached the extreme and reversed?

[Having sensed the master's intense emotional fluctuations, Destiny Sign has entered its second stage.]

At that moment, a cold mechanical female voice rang out in his mind, startling Ling Feng into stumbling.

"Holy shit?!"

"What the hell was that??"

Ling Feng was still somewhat dazed. It felt as though the voice had appeared directly inside his head.

Was this a system? Ling Feng immediately thought of the novels he had read before.

Since this world even had magic, having a system did not seem strange, right? After thinking for a moment, Ling Feng spoke up.

"Excuse me, are you a system?"

[No.]

The cold mechanical female voice rang out in Ling Feng's mind again.

"Not a system? Then what are you? Does everyone else have one too?" Ling Feng continued asking.

[I am your Destiny Sign, Master. I was previously in a dormant state. As for others? Sorry, no.]

[Master may name me. Your usual point income will henceforth enter automated management. Since Master's points have never exceeded 500, Destiny Sign has automatically classified Master as a weakling.]

"Name you?"

Ling Feng thought for a while, filtering through the information simply. This thing seemed somewhat similar to a system, yet also different.

"Then... Tangyuan?" Ling Feng asked.

[I don't like it.]

The cold mechanical female voice sounded again.

Ling Feng was speechless. So this thing had a temper too.

"Then... Bean Sprout?"

[Too lame.]

"Potato?"

[Too rustic.]

"Lucky?"

[Too dog-like.]

Ling Feng:

Did naming it really have this many requirements? Ling Feng thought those names all sounded pretty good and rolled off the tongue.

"May I ask what the requirements are?"

Ling Feng could not help asking. If he could hit this Destiny Sign thing, he would have done so already.

[At the very least, it must sound nicer, more beautiful, gentler, cuter, more graceful, more delicate, more charming...]

Ling Feng:

"Tianxiu..."

[That will do.]

Ling Feng:??

Ling Feng truly had no idea how to respond.

"Forget it, forget it."

"How about Xi He?"

[Acceptable.]

Because of Destiny Sign's appearance, much of Ling Feng's attention had been diverted, and he felt far more relaxed.

He planned to go out and clear his head first.

"Should I still pretend I don't know anything afterward?"

Ling Feng's feelings were complicated, but he absolutely could not go back to how things had been before.

How should he face Ling Xiaoyu? How should he face his current parents and repay them for raising him? Thinking back on everything he had done before, Ling Feng became incredibly irritated.

"Stop! Why aren't you going inside!?"

Ling Feng had only taken a few steps when a loli in a black stocking-and-skirt outfit stormed toward him from the intersection.

Ling Feng initially thought the girl was not talking to him. After all, he was certain he had never seen anyone like her before.

But she was already walking over while pointing a finger at him. What else could it be?

Ling Feng was currently at the breaking point of a tangled mess of emotions. He did not want to deal with anyone at all, so he directly ignored Ling Luoluo and walked past her.

That only made Ling Luoluo even angrier.

Chased Down?

"Don't go! Stop right there!"

Ling Luoluo quickly stepped forward and blocked Ling Feng's path.

She spread her arms to either side. Under normal circumstances, Ling Feng might have found the pose adorable, but right now, he only found it irritating.

At that moment, Xi He's cold mechanical female voice rang out as well.

[Master, your long-term low-point consolation compensation has arrived. You may activate one ten-pull draw.]

"Do you need something?"

Ling Feng had temporarily forgotten about Destiny Sign and asked in an icy tone.

"You..."

Seeing Ling Feng treat her so coldly, Ling Luoluo suddenly felt as though her heart had turned to ice.

Originally, seeing that her biological older brother was so handsome and good-looking had made Ling Luoluo very happy. But now?

Ling Xiaoyu had asked her to keep the secret, and she had agreed without hesitation. Ever since before, Ling Xiaoyu had been the one caring for and loving her.

So no matter what Ling Xiaoyu asked of her, she would do her best to accomplish it. But this time, she truly could not stop herself from wanting to reveal the truth and tell Ling Feng that she was his younger sister.

Fortunately, Ling Luoluo ultimately held herself back.

"Hehe, wouldn't it be enough to beat him up and drag him away?" Ling Luoluo suddenly said with a sweet smile.

Ling Feng got goosebumps all over.

You really could not judge a person by appearances. This little girl looked so cute, yet she wanted to hit someone the moment she raised her hand?

Ling Feng frowned slightly, feeling a hint of disgust toward the thoughts of the girl before him.

But when he saw Ling Luoluo take out a Magical Girls transformation necklace, his entire body suddenly froze.

This little girl was actually a Magical Girl, and she wanted to use magic on him, an "ordinary person"?!

"O Wisdom Stardust, shining with the light of hope..."

"Holy shit?! You're actually doing this??"

At that moment, Ling Feng finally realized the seriousness of the situation and sprinted out into the street as fast as he could.

At least this could buy him some time. Ling Feng truly had no idea why this Magical Girl, who had come out of nowhere, wanted to deal with him.

[Master, your ten-pull draw...]

"Forget it. I should hide first..."

After thinking it over, Ling Feng felt that was all he could do for now. It was not as if he could transform too and fight her, right?

"Stop! Just you wait!"

The sharp shout coming from behind him as he ran made Ling Feng's heart skip slightly.

"She's that fast?"

Ling Feng had thought that by catching her off guard, he could escape Ling Luoluo's pursuit with his speed. Who would have thought she would catch up in only a few seconds?

But he did not know that Ling Luoluo had long mastered Zero-Second Chanting, and with Shadow Stealth's movement speed, an ordinary person simply could not escape her.

Ling Luoluo's entire figure sank into the darkness. As long as she did not directly appear beneath the lights, no one could spot her, allowing her to avoid plenty of trouble.

As a result, the scene became the strange sight of a young man sprinting through the streets for no apparent reason.

The passersby who saw Ling Feng immediately began gossiping. Some even took out their phones, snapped photos, and posted them on Moments.

(Shocking! A young man sprinted at one hundred kilometers per hour down the road for unknown reasons! Is this the distortion of human nature, or the decline of morality!?)

Quite a few people who saw Ling Feng gossiped while pointing at him. There were also many curious onlookers joining in.

There were couples out shopping, aunties still sweeping the streets late at night, elderly men running street stalls, fortune tellers, and office workers exhausted after a long day...

"Holy shit! This young man."

Seeing all this, Ling Feng was furious. "Stop filming, assholes!"

"Handsome guy, want to add me on WeChat?"

"Young man, working out like this so late at night will wear you out. Go home early, wash up, and get some sleep!"

An auntie who saw him said concernedly.

"Brother, awesome! I hereby declare you the strongest!"

[Master, the ten-pull draw...]
