Luo'er Must Not Follow the Same Old Path His Mother Once Took

"Mom!"

Lin Luo immediately grabbed her.

Qian Renxue turned around, her eyes already red. She immediately hugged Lin Luo and started crying, tenderly stroking his head.

"Why did they treat you like this? You're so young... Luo'er, does it hurt? Let Mommy blow on it for you, okay?"

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she took her son's right hand and gently blew on his palm while crying. Her tearful appearance was truly pitiful.

"It seems like you're the one who's more pitiful," Lin Luo said, looking at her.

"Mom cries a lot these days."

Lin Luo began to speak.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue looked up, stroked her son's cheek, and said with tears in her eyes, "It's all my fault that you were bullied. I shouldn't have brought you here..."

"Mom, look!"

Lin Luo suddenly smiled and raised his right hand, and the next moment, a pair of emerald-colored wings unfolded from his back.

Qian Renxue was puzzled when she suddenly saw that the wound on Lin Luo's right palm was healing rapidly, completely restored, without a trace of injury.

She was immediately surprised and quickly took Lin Luo's right hand in her hand to examine it.

"This is?"

"The power of my Martial Soul."

Qian Renxue looked up, still surprised. "But you don't even have Soul Ring."

Lin Luo smiled but didn't answer. Qian Renxue immediately smiled as well, and thought of an explanation, "As expected, it's the effect of the mutation. I never understood why your wings had so many colors. Is this the effect of the colors? Green... is it healing?"

Mom is indeed clever.

"Yes."

Qian Renxue was overjoyed. She quickly opened her arms, hugged Lin Luo, and spun him around a few times. "My son is amazing!"

After spinning around until they were both dizzy, Qian Renxue finally stopped, blinking her eyes. She placed Lin Luo back on the bedside, stroked her son's right hand, and said earnestly, "You have great talent. This is how you protect yourself. If anyone bullies you in the future, fight back, understand? If anything happens, Mom will cover for you."

"Good."

Despite hearing an affirmative answer, Qian Renxue still felt that her kind-hearted son would mostly just try to reason with the other party.

"To be honest, judging from your personality as a baby, I thought you would only bully others and never be bullied when you grew up, but I never expected it to be the complete opposite."

Qian Renxue said helplessly, sitting down on the edge of the bed. Lin Luo's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Mom, you really have a good eye."

But one thing is one thing. If it weren't for completing the mission, Lin Luo would actually prefer to be a quiet, handsome man. He would rarely bully others, but he would never let others bully him.

"There's one more thing. In a few days, Consort Tan's youngest son, who is also Xue Ke's younger brother, will be holding a full-moon banquet in the palace. It's quite a grand affair, and many imperial relatives and civil and military officials will be invited. Xue Ye plans to take this opportunity to let you shine in front of everyone on that day, in other words, to announce your strength."

"Why?"

Lin Luo was somewhat surprised.

He knew that Qian Renxue had told Xue Ye about his Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power level, which was why he had gained Xue Ye's attention.

In order to prevent Lin Luo from falling into a crisis due to the attention of others, Xue Ye also concealed these matters.

But to suddenly do this... Lin Luo looked at Qian Renxue.

The latter nodded slightly. "That's right, it's because of my request. I originally wanted him to hint to Xue Xing not to make things too difficult for you, but Xue Ye thought of using this full moon banquet as an opportunity to truly establish your prestige in Heaven Dou and rightfully secure your position as the heir."

Lin Luo frowned. "What should I do at the banquet?"

Qian Renxue: "Don't worry, this full moon banquet is ostensibly a full moon banquet, but in reality it's a nationwide recruitment event by the royal family. Many people will be invited, and all the major sects within the Heaven Dou Empire will receive invitations. If other Soul Master can show up, you will naturally have your chance to show up too."

At this point, Qian Renxue sighed, "My original intention was not to expose you to the public, but as your mother, I worry that you won't be able to grow up healthily, just like I did... Your identity means you should grow up in an environment surrounded by light and accolades. My Luo'er, you can't follow the same path your mother walked."

Lin Luo felt a little sore.

Qian Renxue was truly worried about everything for him.

You're only 19 years old.

Qian Renxue seemed oblivious to the change in Lin Luo's gaze. She held Lin Luo in her arms and said to herself, "At that full moon banquet, I'll make Xue Xing lose face. He bullied my son; he's really asking for trouble."

"Well, actually, I didn't really bully your son that much..." Lin Luo thought apologetically.

"By the way Luo'er, when do you plan to go hunting for Soul Ring?"

Lin Luo looked up at her. "As long as it doesn't interfere with class time, it's fine."

Qian Renxue chuckled, "You're quite obedient to the academy's rules and regulations."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The palace maids brought in the food, Qian Renxue immediately changed her demeanor, leading Lin Luo towards the dining table.

She said, "I heard that a new head chef has joined the Imperial Kitchen. His Majesty speaks highly of her and even made her the highest-ranking supervisor of the Imperial Kitchen that very day. Come and try these dishes; they were all recently prepared under her guidance by the imperial chefs."

Qian Renxue didn't eat anything, but pulled Lin Luo to sit down in her seat. After the palace maids left the room, she returned to her original appearance, looking at her son with a face full of affection.

Lin Luo picked up her chopsticks, but didn't rush to eat. She turned to Qian Renxue and asked, "Mom, did you bring the rare metal?"

Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised, but nodded and said, "I brought it."

After she finished speaking, she took out a ring and placed it on the table.

"It's all in here, what are you going to do with it?"

"Of course I used it."

Lin Luo chuckled, preparing to formally forge himself a divine weapon.

Today I tried using a tree branch for the first time to become the "Foremost of the Sword Dao," and it felt really good.

From that day forward, I became a carefree swordsman in the academy, always carrying a sword!

Qian Renxue looked at him. "Did Mom help you contact Lou Gao?"

Lin Luo shook his head. "No need, I can do it myself." He then smiled and said, "Mom, you still underestimate just how capable your son really is."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue made a skeptical expression, as if to say "Really?", which, despite its doubt, made her look exceptionally cute.

She picked up her chopsticks and helped Lin Luo pick up some food, saying, "How about I take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Ring in a week?"

"Anything is fine, preferably after school."

Qian Renxue nodded and said, "We might even run into Xiao Hong. I've really missed it these past few days."

Lin Luo sighed silently, hoping to meet him again.

He picked up some food, put it in his mouth, chewed for a moment, and then his expression changed instantly.

"Puff!!"

Lin Luo spat the food in his mouth onto Qian Renxue's face.

"It's so sweet it's killing me!"
