Trapped In The Cultivator World
The Curatan Diao Chan

After making the exchange, Shian Wi immediately thanked him, and when they were about to leave from there-Li Hao held him back.

"Wait a minute, may I ask you something?"

"Hm?" Shian Wi turned his head back and smiled faintly, "Please..."

"Your destination, Luoyang city, isn't it?" asked Li Hao curiously.

"true." Shian Wi nodded slowly, "It seems that you guys are also aiming to go there, huh?"

Li Hao nodded slowly, "Yes. By the way, thank you for being willing to answer my question.'

"No problem. We go first..." Shian Wi stepped out of her legs, and left there with her friends.

Li Hao did not stare at their departure for too long, he kept the Night Demon sword as it followed to where Diao Chan and Wei Han were.

"If you ever see a stranger again, don't trust him right away, okay?" Diao Chan gave Wei Han a warning that this kind of incident would not happen again.

"I'm sorry, aunt. I just don't think they're bad people." Wei Han lowered his head in a guilty feeling, "But I will remember this and make it a lesson."

Diao Chan smiled faintly then stroked Wei Han's head, "Good, you're a smart kid."

"Ehem, I'm back..."

A moment after, Li Hao suddenly appeared from behind the trees - he immediately smiled wryly when he got the sharp gaze of the beautiful woman.

"What's? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Despite knowing the reason, Li Hao still asked.

"This leads only to fools!"

"You're bad, yeah."

"Whisper, let's continue the journey."

Diao Chan did not wait for the young man's response and took Wei Han away from there.

Li Hao only followed the two of them from behind, of course he kept a distance of up to five meters in order not to break the rules.

***

"Hey, if we both sign up for the Tournament, who will look after Wei Han later?" Li Hao asked because he had just remembered it.

"I have acquaintances there, so Wei Han can be entrusted by him." Diao Chan replied quickly.

"Hm, who is he?"

"My father's men."

"Is he trustworthy?"

"Of course, he was one of my father's confidants."

"Why is he there?"

"Guard my sister."

"Oh, did your brother enter the Tournament as well?"

"That's how."

"If your brother is being escorted, why don't you?"

"We were actually traveling together, but on the way-I secretly chose to run away from them because I wanted to try to adventure myself."

"Why isn't he trying to find you?"

"I asked him not to follow me through the letter I left before I left."

"Alright if you believe Wei Han can be entrusted by him."

Li Hao did not ask any further and chose to be silent.

......................

"Let's take a break..." Li Hao looked at the sky that had been dark for several hours.

Diao Chan and Wei Han nodded slowly, the two of them sat cross-legged there - while Li Hao made a bonfire out of the tree trunk he had already cut down and stored in the inventory.

After the campfire was made, Wei Han began to lay down his body and use a thin cloth as his head pad.

Diao Chan who was next to the little boy just stroked his head slowly while smiling faintly.

"By the way, did you lie about our previous conversation?" Li Hao asked and made the silence of the night break.

"You mean, about my father's confidant?" Diao Chan slightly furrowed his brows.

"No, if that's-I'm sure you're not lying."

"Then?"

"About traveling together."

"Ah, so you know it, huh?'

"I'm just guessing, it looks like it's on target."

"I'm not with my older sister at all, I escaped from the sect secretly with the intention of taking part in the Tournament in Luoyang city." Diao Chan explained without giving the slightest expression.

"But the story about your brother is true?" Li Hao asked to be sure.

"Yes, that's it." replied Diao Chan quickly.

"Hm..." Li Hao seemed to think as he held onto his chin, then he said, "Are you doing this in order to rival your brother in the Tournament later on, or do you want to prove the power you have for him to admit you?"

"Eh.." Diao Chan's eyes widened immediately, his gaze immediately turned toward the young man who was in the fire, "How could you know that?"

"Well... Usually there is such a plot in the novel." Li Hao thought and quietly chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Diao Chan was naturally aware of the little laughter Li Hao was making.

"Nothing." Li Hao immediately stopped his small laugh before a misunderstanding occurred, "So, from my two guesses, which one is correct?"

"both." Diao Chan immediately replied.

"Hoo..." Li Hao became a little interested, "So, your goal is to rival your brother in the Tournament so that he will admit you, will you?"

"Yes, more or less that kind of thing." Diao Chan nodded slowly, then his countenance turned slightly sad, "Since long ago, my older sister had never acknowledged me at all, our relationship did not even look like a big brother and sister in general. She was a genius in this generation, whereas I was just an ordinary woman far below my brother."

Diao Chan changed his sitting position by raising both of his legs until his knees were in front of his chest, "I've tried my best, but the talent I have will not be able to surpass my brother. Even though he already knew the hard work I was doing, he always acted indifferently when he met me." Diao Chan covered his face between his knees, he did not want to show his almost crying expression.

"Oh, yeah."

Li Hao stood up and sat down beside the beautiful woman, "You want to get a confession from your brother because he is the one you first admired, right?" li Hao asked as he stared at the bonfire in front of him.

Diao Chan only nodded in response.

"It's not good advice, but I'll keep saying it. Do what you can do, your brother does not admit you but what about the people closest to you? If they are like your brother, then you should try to stop in the future. If you keep glued to one thing, you'll probably regret it at the end."

"Repent at the end?" diao Chan's hoarse voice came out, his tone sounded astonished.

"Yes, you go through a lot just because of one goal. To put it simply, I was aiming to become the strongest person in the Heavenly Mainland, but until the end of my life - I had not been able to achieve that goal... When that happens, I'd think that I've lost a lot of things because I'm too focused on being strong."

"Lost a lot of things? Likewhat?" Diao Chan this time raised his head, his face looking disheveled right now.

"Love, warmth, happiness and everything else." Li Hao replied calmly.

"Isn't that doable even if it's only fixated on one goal?" Diao Chan slightly tilted his head.

"I don't think so." Li Hao shook his head slowly.

"What's the reason?" ask Diao Chan.

"Try to see yourself..." Li Hao who had been staring at the bonfire turned to the beautiful woman next to him, "Have you ever thought of getting a lover, having a child and living a leisurely life in the future?"

Diao Chan slightly widened his eyes with bated breath, he had indeed thought about it as a child - but that was before he had a goal, that is, getting recognition from his brother.

"Look at your reaction, it doesn't seem like it, does it?" Li Hao slightly smiled faintly, "Having a purpose can indeed make you thrive, though, but if that goal doesn't work despite trying hard - it's good to stop and find another goal you can achieve."

The atmosphere became silent after Li hao finished his words, there was only the sound of a bonfire and the cool breeze of the night.

"I'm sorry if my words interfere in your personal affairs..." Li Hao said in a soft voice.

"Thank you..." Diao Chan smiled faintly and his head leaned towards Li Hao's right shoulder.

Li Hao was quite surprised but he did not bother him too much.

"By the way, you broke the rules. So, get ready for your forehead to get flaky, yeah." Diao Chan said in a mocking tone.

Li Hao chuckled softly before replying, "Good, good."
