"So you mean..The power I got was your strength?!" Said Lin Hao in surprise. "But how can it?"
"Haish, I told you earlier. A long time ago, maybe 8 years ago. I gave some of my power to you. Then all I did that night was to release the time seal I used on you." Said Li Xiang lazily. "So all my power sealed in your body is completely yours now."
"That's right.." muttered Lin Hao who was still in disbelief, "Then, who are you really? If you did that to me 8 years ago, then you should be 6 years old. Meanwhile, the power I felt was quite large and in large numbers. It is impossible at that age–"
"Yes, you're right. I'm not Xing Fu's sister. I'm his teacher."
"G-teachers?" Lin Hao looked at Li Xiang from top to bottom. A small body that looks unconvincing, plus a childish face. It's very unlikely. "You must be kidding me. Tell me the truth. What is your relationship with Xing Fu?"
"I told you earlier. I was his teacher. Wei already knows because I said it. But don't tell this to Nuan, because he doesn't know anything about this. Do you understand?" Said Li Xiang with an annoyed face.
"Why do you look upset?" The astonishment of Lin Hao.
"Because you doubted me. Just because of this small and cute body, don't doubt my abilities." Li Xiang puffed his cheeks. "I'm handsome and cute, I know that too. So you don't have to tell me anymore."
"He's too confident," Inner Lin Hao.
"Xing Fu also got some of his power from me. More precisely, most of his strength came from me. The rest is his own strength." Li Xiang sighed. "He has no ability to cultivate. His cultivation talent was very poor. If it wasn't for my strength, then he would just be trash and ridiculed by many.
Even after using my best cultivation technique, his development was still slow. Even very slow. He's very lousy in cultivation."
Lin Hao was shocked when he heard Li Xiang's words. He only knew that Xiao Xing Fu had also gained strength from Li Xiang. "W-did I also thrive because of your strength?" Nervous speech.
Li Xiang shook his head, "No. Most of the power you have is your own. You're different from Xing Fu. Your talent is very good at cultivating. Wei is lucky to have a student like you."
Lin Hao sighed in relief. He thought, it was possible that the power he had all this time was only Li Xiang's strength. "Then, why do you want to make Xing Fu your student? Didn't you say that? Xing Fu's talent.Every teacher definitely wants a student with good talent. Or at least, not very good talent. It will be better if you are trained. While Xing Fu, as you said, he still did not develop much despite using the strongest cultivation technique you have."
Li Xing was speechless with a flat face looking at Lin Hao.
"W-w-did I say the wrong thing?" The glared Lin Hao became nervous as well. "Sorry if it offends you. I-I didn't mean–"
"It's true what you said earlier. Wouldn't it be better for me to find another student who is easy to teach and has extraordinary talent? Your thinking is not wrong at all." Li Xiang stroked his chin, "But initially I also had no intention of having any disciples at all.
My goal is to die. Therefore I give my power to others to try, will I die if I do not have the strength? That's why I give strength to others, including you."
Lin Hao nodded in a nod, "Oh begi–eh?! Waitaminute! Die?!"
Li Xiang nodded, "I originally planned on giving it to 4 people. But in the end, I only gave it to 3 people, one of them you. Then because from the beginning my intention was to divide it into 4 and you became the second person I gave some of my strength, then the rest of my power that I should give to 2 people instead became 1 person. So Xing Fu is the one who gains more power than the two of you."
Lin Hao sighed to catch his breath. It wasn't the right time to ask Li Xiang for the purpose that he was saying for now, "Then why did you give me some of it? There are many others in this world. Then why me?"
"There is no specific reason. I watched you for a whole day at the time you exited the sect back then. You gave money to beggars and fed hungry cats on the street. So I followed you and watched you for that day. Then I decided to give it to you, because I don't think you're an arrogant person." Said Li Xiang casually.
"Because of that?" Inner Lin Hao. "Wait first! Why am I just realizing it now?"
Li Xiang raised next to his brows in astonishment, "What?"
Li Xiang sighed, "Hah~ I thought you wanted to say what. Yes, my eyes are healed."
"Um.. so... and then, where have you been for a few days? And why were you under the bed?"
"Ah that's all because of you." Said Li Xiang with a jutek.
"Eh? Me? Why me?" The astonishment of Lin Hao.
"I left so I could stay away from the questions you were going to ask me. I'm lazy to have to answer all your questions. And from that, I go. Then I showed up under the bed because I kept the teleportation paper there so you wouldn't see the paper."
Lin Hao nodded. "There's more I want to ask. What exactly happened then? When you brought Xing Fu unconscious inside."
Li Xiang took a deep breath and told her everything that happened to Lin Hao. From the moment he went to meet Xiao Xing Fu until he finally brought Bai Nuan to the room near the living room, to be close. "I haven't asked what happened before that to Xing Fu. So I don't know how it happened."
Lin Hao was surprised, "So you exterminated that evil spirit?"
Li Xiang nodded with a proud expression. Although the reality was not the feeling of pride that he felt, "That's how. Aren't I great?"
Lin Hao shook his head in disbelief, "I still can't believe it. But I'll try to believe it."
Li Xiang wore an exasperated expression, "Have it, you continue to doubt me. You've asked me a lot of questions, I'm gone."
He walked closer to the door of the room with his legs snapped with a stifled expression.
"Wait a minute, there's one more question. Do you have a relationship with.. The Li.. Xiang?"
Lin Hao's words stopped Li Xiang's footsteps. The young man was nervous as he said what stuck in his heart and mind.
Li Xiang glanced back with a cold gaze, "What do you mean?"
***
In the Patriarch's room. It had been since Xiao Xing Fu had chosen to go to the Patriarch's room because her teacher and Lin Hao had not returned either. Since the Patriarch asked about the noise that had happened earlier, he told him everything. That Li Xiang did. When he heard that the Patriarch even looked very pleased. He seemed to want to say thanks to Li Xiang.
"Nuan'er, Fu'er.if it's not wrong, I heard you guys saying about evil spirits. Is Nuan'er really possessed by an evil spirit? When did that happen? How did it happen?" Patriarch Bai Wei said in a row. He is currently sitting on the back of the bed.
"Eh. that.." Bai Nuan became nervous when asked. He looks worried from his father. Though he did not want to make the man worried, especially at this time his condition is still not good.
Xiao Xing Fu smiled towards Bai Nuan, trying to dispel the doubt in the girl's heart. "Let's just say, before the Patriarch finds out about it from someone else."
Bai Nuan glanced at Xiao Xing Fu who was smiling at him. He gulped and finally nodded slowly. Before saying so, he first took a breath first to calm his racing heart from nervousness. "So. look at it.." he told Bai Wei everything that happened from start to finish.
From the beginning Bai Wei and Xiao Xing Fu were entering into the forest with old settlements until he reposted to the house. "Then Ming'er helped me. When I was almost attracted by the darkness, he came and helped me. Until I finally survived. When I woke up, I was in a room close to the living room. I don't know what happened back then. But all my wounds were treated when I woke up."
