Li Xiang the Immortal
66 - Zhao Gang

"Dead? Wh why? What can I do? Whatever it is! Just tell me. I'll do it, even if I have to die for it."

"The stupid answer."

"What did you say?" Lin Hao raised next to his eyebrows.

"You're stupid." Ketus Li Xiang's.

Lin Hao frowned with a dislike look, "What do you mean to say that to me? After all, the teacher is my teacher. He has taught me many things and taken care of me all this time. There is nothing more valuable than a teacher to me. Therefore, I will do anything to keep him alive."

"Then from that, I say you're stupid!" Ketus Li Xiang, "You think Wei won't be sad when you die? Will he be happy when he's healthy because of the sacrifices you made to buy time? You just obey your desires without thinking about the feelings of others, you are selfish. It is more painful to be an abandoned person than one who leaves. So, if you want her to be happy, then don't die."

Lin Hao was stunned by the remark Li Xiang had just said. "But whatever answer you say, I don't care."

After Li Xiang said that, his right palm touched Lin Hao's chest without aba, "With my permission, assign this whole force to him. Open the seal of time." Mumbled.

"A–engh..." Lin Hao sat on the floor. He gritted his teeth hard while hugging his own body. The urate on his face stiffened. His roar described a pain that he could not stand. But he did not make any screaming sounds. He just kept holding it.

A lot of Qi entering his dantian suddenly arrived and this made him in pain. An increase in Qi arriving in such a large amount like this could damage his dantian or even his life could disappear. This was just like what Li Xiang had done to Xiao Xing Fu just after he had shown the real Yuelong forest to the child.

But the difference was, Li Xiang helped protect Xiao Xing Fu. It helps so that the pain felt by the child is reduced and also keeps his dantian from being damaged. While Lin Hao, Li Xiang did not help protect his dantian nor help to reduce his pain. So Lin Hao used his own efforts in order to survive this sudden increase in Qi entering his dantian.

Lin Hao was one of the two people other than Xiao Xing Fu who gained some of Li Xiang's strength. If he got stronger, then the strength of Li Xiang sealed in his body would enter his dantian by itself more and more and this became a strength for him. If only Li Xiang had only given that power to him without sealing it with the time seal, then Lin Hao would have instantly died if his basic foundation was weak.

One other person who also possessed a portion of Li Xiang's strength had time seals on his chest like Lin Hao and Xiao Xing Fu.

The time seal Li Xiang used was a seal that could seal his strength on the body of others and bring out his strength, giving it to the person he gave the strength to slowly, depending on his ability to withstand the additional Qi from it. If that person got stronger, then the Qi sealed within that person's body would enter more and more until one day all the power Li Xiang exerted went into his dantian and became his own strength.

However if one was judged to be able to deal with the Qi surges to suddenly arrive as much as the strength Li Xiang exerted on someone, it would be as much as possible, then all the power given by the teenager will go directly into his dantian at once.

"It turns out you're strong, too. Great desire." Li Xiang walked to the side and was right beside Lin Hao, only his face was facing the door of the room, "If it's done, you can meet me. That's when you're alive." After saying that, he went into the room.

Lin Hao grew stronger and stronger hugging his own body. Likewise with his teeth that were increasingly bluffing strongly. He really did not want to let out a scream. Sweat was even visible on his forehead.

Xiao Xing Fu and Bai Nuan who were currently finished with the evil spirits helped bring one by one the victims who had fainted to the village hall.

After all the victims had been evacuated, both of them intended to leave. However, Shao Gang stood before them with a faint smile, "Thank you for helping out. You guys also helped me when I almost got hit by their attack."

"Ah, that's no problem. We just want to help." Xiao Xing Fu replied.

Bai Nuan was stunned, as was Xiao Xing Fu. Didn't Shao Gang introduce himself at the restaurant earlier? But why did she introduce herself again as if she had never introduced her name at all to them? It was as if he had never met the two at all and this was only the first time.

"You introduced yourself." Xiao Xing Fu.

Shao Gang tilted his head with an astonished expression, "When? We just met. So how can I introduce myself to you before I meet you?"

Xiao Xing Fu was astonished by the reply the young man gave. "Did he just hit his head against the wall because Nuan didn't want to get acquainted with him?" Bai Nuan himself was unwilling to take a dizzy with what happened, "We're wrong people, sorry. My name is Bai Nuan and this is my friend, Xiao Xing Fu. We still have business, that's why we can't stay here long."

"Ah, I understand. It's nice to meet you guys. I hope we can meet again," Shao Gang thrust out his hand as if inviting him to shake hands.

Xiao Xing Fu immediately shook the young man's hand, "It's nice to meet you." He forced a smile.

"If you're looking for a flower of hope, I know where it is. Although this is just a rumor, it may be true." Shao Gang still smiled, "The flower grows a lot in the forest near this village in the east direction. It is located in the front yard of an old, unkempt temple. But you're gonna have a hard time taking it." He let go of the handshake.

Bai Nuan and Xiao Xing Fu were shocked when they heard what Shao Gang said. Though they said nothing of the flower of hope to the young man, "W-how do you know if we're looking for him?"

Shao Gang tilted his head with a mouth that boasted, "Em... What do I know?"

Xiao Xing Fu frowned, "Did you just guess? You said about the flower of hope."

Shao Gang shook his head, "No. I didn't say anything about it."

"In that case, we'll leave now. See you soon." Bai Nuan pulled Xiao Xing Fu's hand to go with him.

"See you soon, see you later" Shao Gang waved his hand.

"Why did you pull me?" Whisper Xiao Xing Fu.

"You see for yourself. She's weird. He seemed to be someone else in an instant and changed again into himself without remembering anything. Moreover, he can find out what we are looking for. We better not be close to people like her."

"I understand. But can you let go of my hand?"

Bai Nuan stopped and immediately looked at his hand that was grasping Xiao Xing Fu's hand, "M-sorry," he immediately let go and threw away his face.

"So, are we going to stay in that place? As she said?" Xiao Xing Fu asked.

"Huh? Oh, y-yeah." Bai Nuan walked ahead of Xiao Xing Fu as if avoiding coming face to face with her. The young man behind him followed him without saying anything.
