Chapter 106

Both of his eyes widened while stunned silently staring at elder Khan. Same with Liu Shan. He nodded his head and asked,

“Wait, demon curse Lin’er from Ming Xiao?”

Elder Khan nodded slowly to question Liu Shan. While Xiao Lin could only be speechless as he lowered his head tightly clenched his hands over his thighs.

“When I wanted to stop Ming Xiao, it turned out that he had already instilled a demonic curse within you. He deliberately did it to let me off guard so that he could escape before I could seal,” explained elder Khan.

The origin of the demon curse that was inside Xiao Lin's body was revealed. In fact, Ming Xiao's rebellious existence in Liliang academy was the main reason why Xiao Lin had been shackled all this time.

He looked slightly towards his back. Xiao Lin shifted his clothes open and saw a hint of black patches that were still stuck.

Suddenly, elder Khan bowed his head before the three of them.

“I'm sorry.”

Xiao Lin who saw his grandfather like that was shocked.

“Grandpa, what is grandpa doing?! Don't be like that!”

“Sorry, grandson. I kept this secret from you for so long. And has also failed as a grandfather to keep you safe,” said elder Khan.

“Kakek, stop. I'm fine!” it was Xiao Lin who tried to persuade him.

The stubborn elder Khan could only fall silent bowing before his grandson. It was also inseparable for Qing Yao who felt responsible for not being able to properly educate her students. He could only look down and look away while sitting there.

Liu Shan, though,

“Chairman Khan, leave Xiao Lin to me.”

The one sentence he took out attracted the attention of the three of them simultaneously. Both eyes widened as if in disbelief with the words coming out of his mouth.

“Son, what did you just say?” ask the elder Khan.

“I'll take care of Xiao Lin. From the start of his demon curse to the future,” Liu Shan said.

Liu Shan's words made Xiao Lin's face flushed red like a red balloon that was preparing to explode. He was speechless other than his two moving eyes not knowing where to look.

However, Liu Shan said it was not merely to make the Khan elder or Xiao Lin feel better. The same was the case with the Khan elder who knew of Liu Shan's abilities.

After what he had done with the acupuncture technique to withstand the demonic curse on Xiao Lin's body, and also the great fight he had given in the previous Liliang academy tournament. The faint smile on his face at that moment showed that he had complete trust in Liu Shan.

“Thank you, son,” said elder Khan.

“Yes, I will find a way to free Xiao Lin from the demon curse. And make it have a free life,” Liu Shan said as he glanced at Xiao Lin.

There is no other intention in it. Liu Shan only revealed his pure intention to help Xiao Lin. However, the words and deeds he gave during made Xiao Lin stunned repeatedly. Until this time it could only hide behind the Khan elder with a face flushed like a tomato.

On the other hand, it was sudden that Qing Yao came up with a cough.

“Ehem ahem! All right, we're back to the main topic.”

The look on his face left a slight feeling of displeasure. However, Qing Yao quickly covered that up by talking about something else.

“I hope I can say yes, but no,” replied elder Khan.

“But, he didn't come out through the demon scroll that he stole from the dragon room. Meaning, he was already in this world first,” Liu Shan said.

The existence of Daolao is a mystery. Hundreds of years ago, humans, gods and mystical beasts joined forces to exterminate the demons from the land of cultivators. The most talented human cultivators sacrificed themselves to seal the strongest demons along with the other demons.

And Daolao's whereabouts made all of them question all of that.

“Daolao. Because he is here, it means that he belongs to a group of demons that could not be killed hundreds of years ago,” said Qing Yao.

Xiao Lin and the Khan elder nodded simultaneously hearing his words.

“Iya. But, the power of the demons was terrifying. Daolao, the demon itself was even within the level of a four-star king fighter. Ming Xiao himself looked terrified as he told him to retreat,” Xiao Lin murmured.

“That being our main race is to stop them. Because their existence in this world is now a great threat. Gradually, they will definitely bring disaster. Either unroll the demons from the dragon chamber, or even raise the strongest demons once again,” Khan continued.

* * * *

After a long discussion with them, Liu Shan also still found no further clues about Daolao and Ming Xiao from the demon clan. Liu Shan who was being escorted out by Xiao Lin in the hallway of his house also walked side by side.

While Liu Shan was looking down silently and drifting freely in his mind, Xiao Lin who was beside him did not stop looking uneasy. Finger after finger he played while his eyes glanced left and right. His face was still left flushed red when recalling Liu Shan's words.

“Shan.”

Liu Shan turned his head while raising both eyebrows.

“What did you say earlier ... You mean it?”

“Iya.”

Short answer but make everything clear. Xiao Lin could not help his smile, therefore he could only look away. While he was trying to take a quiet breath, Liu Shan's footsteps suddenly came to a halt.

“Ah, yes. Lin’er.”

He who called Xiao Lin made him pause for a moment. Xiao Lin who turned his head was surprised to see Liu Shan's hand approaching his face.

“Eh, Shan. Tu-wait-!”

His big hand held his shoulder for a moment. Xiao Lin who saw him could only stand idly by because he did not know what to do. His red face was trying to hold him back so as not to smile clearly.

On the other hand, Jun scrunched his forehead. He sensed a terrifying Ki move from Xiao Lin's shoulder. Shortly after, he let go of his hand and began to look left and right.

“Lin’er, is there an empty room here?” ask Liu Shan.

“There's. Why suddenly?” yoho Xiao Lin.

“Good, then show the room. I want to be with you for a minute.”

Xiao Lin was speechless with both eyes widened. His face turned red like a tomato quickly while holding both cheeks.

“EH?!”
