I Can See the Lines of Fortune - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Disloyal

As Wu Liang spoke, Bu Bai had already started operating the device. He tapped a few times, and many rows appeared. They were all introductions of force technique stone crystals.

Bu Bai smiled. “Come and take a look. These are the elite force technique stone crystals the expedition association of Pingxi Town has.”

Mo Xiaobai’s eyes lit up, and he went over to the screen.

There were many kinds of force technique stone crystals on it, including offensive, defensive, speed, physical strengthening, and even some special talent force technique stone crystals.

However, those special talent force technique stone crystals required you to have the talent before using them.

Mo Xiaobai had the power of the Giants, but there weren’t any force technique stone crystals related to this talent.

He started contemplating. He already had an offensive skill, Triple Slash. That was powerful enough.

However, Triple Slash used up too much of his force. Even though he was at one force point fourth-rank now, he could only use it 10 times.

If he was able to get an offensive force technique stone crystal that required less force, that would be good.

But, that wasn’t necessary.

He lacked in other areas too.

Mo Xiaobai planned to choose a speed force technique stone crystal.

His gaze landed on the speed force technique stone crystals.

Rapid March.

An elite grade speed force technique. When perfected, it would be able to increase your speed by 20%.

Also, as long as your force was enough, you could continue using it.

The effects were good when you were escaping or fighting.

After he decided, Mo Xiaobai pointed at the Rapid March force technique stone crystal and smiled. “I will choose this one.”

Everyone glanced at the force technique stone crystal Mo Xiaobai chose. Bu Bai smiled, and said, “Not bad. There’s a wide range of uses for Rapid March. It’s very useful to you now.”

Wu Liang nodded too. “Yes. This is a good force technique.”

Bu Bai smiled, and said, “We have one last crystal in stock. Let me go and take it.”

Bu Bai left the room. Very soon, he walked back with a green diamond-shaped crystal in his hand.

It was the Rapid March force technique stone crystal.

“For you.”

Mo Xiaobai took the force technique stone crystal Bu Bai handed him, and pressed it against his head.

Knowledge of the Rapid March flowed into his brain through the crystal.

After some time, he slowly opened his eyes and breathed out.

“How is it?”

Bu Bai looked at Mo Xiaobai and smiled.

Excitement flashed past Mo Xiaobai’s eyes. He nodded. “Yes, it’s a good force technique.”

With this force technique, he would be able to attack and defend. His battle power had increased greatly!

Wu Liang took out a pile of crystal remnants and smiled as he said, “These are 500 crystal remnants.”

Mo Xiaobai kept them. “Thank you, Leader Wu.”

Wu Liang laughed loudly. “I should be the one thanking you. If not, I wonder how many more people would get killed by that bastard.”

He glanced at the shadow dog devil on the ground.

Mo Xiaobai smiled. “You’re welcome. I will head back first. My parents must be worried since it’s already so late.”

Wu Liang nodded. “I will ask Wenshan to send you home.”

Mo Xiaobai’s eyes lit up. He nodded. “Sure. Thank you, Brother Wenshan.”

Having a free car ride was always good.

Sun Wenshan smiled. He flicked his slightly long hair. “No worries. Let’s go.”

The two of them left the office.

Bu Bai and Wu Liang became quiet as they looked at Mo Xiaobai’s back. Wu Liang opened his mouth first, and asked, “Brother Bu, since you know Mo Xiaobai, what do you think about him?”

Bu Bai contemplated for a moment. His gaze shone brightly as he slowly replied, “I’m afraid that we will have a wyrmling for the university entrance exam this year.”

Wu Liang and Lin Qianqian, who was listening silently at the side, were stunned for an instant.

There was astonishment in their eyes.

Wu Liang was in disbelief. “He’s so powerful?”

Bu Bai smiled slightly when he saw their dumbfounded expressions. “Do you know what his cultivation level was when I met him half a month ago?”

“What level?”

“One force point first-rank. He’d just became a Force Warrior.”

“Gasp…”

Wu Liang and Lin Qianqian gasped loudly.

Wu Liang couldn’t believe it. “He’s at one force point fourth-rank now. Did he manage to rise three ranks in half a month? That is amazing!”

Bu Bai smiled, and replied, “Why would I call him a wyrmling otherwise? There’s still half a month before the examination. I feel that this young man can reach one force point fifth-rank.”

Wu Liang’s and Lin Qianqian’s gaze flickered. They turned quiet.

Lin Qianqian opened her mouth excitedly. “I didn’t expect this little brother to be so powerful! Our Pingxi Town is going to be famous.”

Wu Liang and Bu Bai nodded.

Wu Liang said, “That’s not all. I feel that more education resources will be allocated to us next year.”

Bu Bai sighed in envy. “I’m so jealous of Old Mo. He has such an outstanding son.”

“I guess this is what you call luck. Brother Bu, don’t even think about it. You are still single after so many years. Why are you thinking about this? You should think of how to find a wife first.”

Bu Bai became furious instantly. “Are you itching for a beating?”

***

Sun Wenshan drove Mo Xiaobai to the entrance of the Anhe Estate. Mo Xiaobai said, “Brother Wenshan, we’ve arrived. You can stop here.”

Sun Wenshan stopped the car. Mo Xiaobai smiled. “Thank you, Brother Wenshan.”

Sun Wenshan flicked his hair and smiled. “You’re welcome. I can go fetch Caiyan along the way.”

“…” Mo Xiaobai.

He suddenly felt that Sun Wenshan’s smile was a little sneaky.

He gave an awkward and polite smile as he waved at Sun Wenshan. Then, he turned and ran towards the entrance of his estate.

The lamps in front of the estate were very bright. The moment Mo Xiaobai ran over, he saw four figures standing right in front of the gate. There were three adults and one child.

When he got nearer, Mo Xiaobai saw Mo You’s and Mu Yuzhu’s cold and icy face. There were light gray lines of light floating around them.

His heart dropped and his scalp felt numb.

He was going to die!

Did this mean that he was in danger?

Would he get hit?

He hesitated a little. He didn’t know if he should run away now.

When Mo Xiaobai saw Mo You and Mu Yuzhu, they naturally saw him too.

Mo You coldly said, “Mo Xiaobai, you still know that you should come back?!”

The hairs on Mo Xiaobai’s back stood up. He felt that Mo You was even more frightening than the shadow dog devil.

He slowly inched his way over. He looked at their cold faces and turned to look at Ning Feng and Ning Ran. He wanted to seek their help.

Ning Feng’s face was expressionless. He didn’t have his usual smile. There was a faint gray line of light hovering around him too.

Mo Xiaobai turned silently and looked at Ning Ran. The lines of light around Ning Ran were white. However, when he saw Mo Xiaobai looking at him, he shrunk his neck and shifted his gaze.

“…” Mo Xiaobai.

Tsk, this disloyal person!

After I survive this ordeal, I will make sure I double your training!

No, triple your training!

At this moment, Ning Feng frowned and opened his mouth. “Xiaobai, why are you back so late? Your parents were really worried about you. They searched the entire estate and all the routes you can take to go to your school.”

Mo Xiaobai looked at Mo You and Mu Yuzhu’s cold faces. His heart felt warm. He laughed awkwardly, and said, “I got held up outside—”

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Yuzhu twisted his ear. “Come back home with me!”

Mo Xiaobai pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, “Mom, ouch, ouch, ouch… my ear is going to fall off!”

He was pulled in the direction of his house.

Mo You glanced at Mo Xiaobai and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He smiled at Ning Feng apologetically. “Brother Ning, sorry to trouble you to wait with us.”

Ning Feng smiled. “It’s alright. Xiaobai has been helping Little Ran with his cultivation recently. I haven’t had the chance to thank him properly.”

Mo You laughed. Then, he looked at Ning Feng with slight astonishment. “Brother, from your aura, it seems like you’re going to break through three force points soon. Congratulations.”

Ning Feng’s smile became happier when he heard this. “Haha, I’ve been stuck for almost 10 years. It has been a long time. I can finally break through now.”

Mo You smiled and nodded. He patted Ning Feng’s shoulder. “Remember to treat us after you break through!”

“No problem!”

Mo You smiled. “Alright, I have to go back and take care of my brat now. It’s so dangerous to be out at night, but he’s still hanging around outside. I will definitely torment him to death today.”

Ning Feng laughed forcefully. “…Don’t be too harsh.”

Ning Ran shrunk his neck. He didn’t dare to speak.
