"You..." Lu Xiaoyu stared at him in terror, with a hint of bewilderment and fear. She had buried this secret deep in her heart for a very, very long time. Even Lü Xiao Dao knew nothing about it.
Her delicate little hands gripped the thin bedsheet tightly. She pressed her lips together, and her eyes quickly dimmed.
Sure enough, they found me again.
Before she entered the orphanage, the Mushroom Society had discovered what made her special and bought her from her parents for a hefty sum.
From then on, she could only supply that society with "luck" energy, until her entire body was covered in injuries.
Later, she had finally managed to escape, changed her name, and stayed with Lü Xiao Dao ever since.
She only used that power occasionally.
Thanks to her luck, she had been fortunate enough not to develop a second personality.
They found me... do I have to go back to that life again?
"Please, don't hurt my brother..." the little girl begged softly. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Lü Xiao Dao standing at the door, waiting anxiously.
"Hurt your brother?"
Xu Ye froze for a moment, then gave what he thought was a kindly smile. "I'm not a bad guy. I'm just a good guy who wants to join your society. I won't hurt either of you."
Lu Xiaoyu's gaze faltered.
Xu Ye continued, "You should know that your brother has been caught up in something huge. He'll face a lot of danger in the future. If you keep using your ability on him, you'll put your own life at risk."
"Besides, your power won't be enough to help him overcome every obstacle."
So?
Lu Xiaoyu was clever. She blinked and lowered her guard around Xu Ye a little.
