Seeing Lin Nuo so sensible, the young man immediately turned to Xiao Wu. With a smile on his face, he greeted her elegantly and said, "Hello, my name is Xiao Chenyu, son of the Lord of Nuoding City. My Spirit is a Wolf, and I am a Rank 6 Innate Spiritual Master."
Hearing the other's self-introduction, Lin Nuo was dumbfounded. After calculating the time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Indeed, while transmigrants come and go, Xiao Chenyu remains constant. However, besides his lament, he also deeply admired the speed with which the other person changed appearance; it was truly impressive. He could only say that, as expected of a nobleman's son, this was a natural advantage.
Xiao Wu glanced sideways at Lin Nuo, who was watching the scene with interest. Suddenly, she flashed a radiant smile at Xiao Chenyu and said in a firm voice, "Hello, my name is Xiao Wu, 'Wu' as in dance. My spirit is a rabbit, and I am also a Rank 6 Innate Spiritual Master."
"Really?" Xiao Chenyu's eyes lit up and he said, "Then we're truly destined to be together."
As he spoke, he let himself fall into Lin Nuo's seat.
As soon as he sat down, Xiao Chenyu suddenly felt a force holding him back. Startled, he tried to stand up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move. Even his facial expression froze.
With a slight smile, Lin Nuo called Xiao Wu over and escorted her to another seat to change.
Viewers watching the drama thought Xiao Chenyu and Lin Nuo would have a thrilling spiritual duel, but for a long time, Xiao Chenyu remained seated motionless.
But soon someone realized something was wrong; they discovered that not even the expression on Xiao Chenyu's face had changed.
Someone quickly alerted the academy's professors about this sinister scene.
After the professor arrived and understood the situation, he turned to Lin Nuo and Xiao Wu with a displeased expression, asking, "What's going on here?"
Shrugging, Lin Nuo opened his arms innocently and said, "I don't know what happened either. I just said something without thinking and didn't expect him to react like that."
After saying that, a slight resentment appeared on his face.
Casting a deep glance at Lin Nuo, the professor turned and left. A short time later, he returned with a large group of people.
Lin Nuo noticed that among them was a middle-aged man with a rigid expression and a somewhat lazy demeanor.
This must be the famous theory of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
Muttering to himself, he continued acting as if it wasn't his business, whispering softly to Xiao Wu beside him.
The group approached and searched for a long time, but couldn't find anything. At that moment, the Director of Nuoding Academy suddenly looked at Yu Xiaogang in the middle of the crowd and said, "Grandmaster, you are experienced and knowledgeable about the matter. Come and see what's wrong with this child?"
Hearing the director say that, the people around also made way. The looks they gave Yu Xiaogang were varied: some of admiration, others of questioning, but most filled with contempt and scorn.
At the same time, Lin Nuo was also watching with interest. He wanted to see if that controversial character from the novel of his past life really had any talent.
With his hands behind his back, Yu Xiaogang slowly approached Xiao Chenyu. He reached out and squeezed the other's muscles, finding no sign of stiffness. Then, he channeled his own spiritual power and carefully examined Xiao Chenyu's physical condition.
Only then did he stand up and say to the director, whose eyes were full of hope: "The circulation of this child's spiritual energy is obstructed, which has affected his physical mobility. He will be fine after a day or two of rest."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's explanation, Lin Nuo smiled slightly and thought to himself, "It seems that this Master Yu really does have some skill. However, any experienced Spiritual Master would notice such a small problem."
In truth, it wasn't that no one had suspected this until now, but due to Xiao Chenyu's status, the teachers here didn't dare act rashly. After all, they still needed to earn a living in Nuoding City. If they offended the City Lord and he decided to make things difficult for them, these ordinary people wouldn't be able to handle the situation.
"Really?" This Director was also a shrewd man. Seeing that the Grandmaster had reached a conclusion, he immediately stepped forward and placed his hand on Xiao Chenyu's shoulder. After checking with his spiritual power, a look of joy appeared on his face. He turned to Yu Xiaogang and said, "As expected of the Grandmaster, whose theories are invincible in the world of Spiritual Masters. We really didn't realize such a simple problem. It's truly embarrassing; we cultivated for so long in vain."
The people around also reacted, discreetly offering Yu Xiaogang some modest compliments.
Despite everyone's praise, Yu Xiaogang simply nodded calmly, seemingly indifferent. With his hands behind his back, he cast an apparently involuntary glance at Lin Nuo and Xiao Wu as he left.
The confusion soon dissipated. Lin Nuo and Xiao Wu were punished only with cleaning the classroom for a week. As for Young Master Xiao Chenyu, he was escorted back to the City Lord's Mansion by the crowd.
In the future, whenever he saw Lin Nuo and Xiao Wu, he would keep his distance, afraid of feeling that sense of helplessness again.
Time passed quickly for another half month. During this period, while Lin Nuo and Xiao Wu enjoyed school life, they also didn't remain idle—especially Lin Nuo, who hadn't forgotten the purpose of his coming to Nuoding City.
During this period, Lin Nuo had already understood the situation of the villages surrounding the city of Nuoding, but had not yet decided how to approach Tang Hao.
Until one day, when Lin Nuo saw a little girl begging in the street, a thought suddenly occurred to him... The Village of the Holy Spirit was located west of Nuoding City. The local customs were simple. Although they were not rich, the inhabitants lived without worrying about food or clothing.
Late at night, the dogs wouldn't stop barking in the village of Espírito Santo. A small figure appeared in front of the yard of the only blacksmith's shop, entering stealthily.
Since only the lights remained on there, through the reflection in the window, it was possible to see a robust figure constantly brandishing a forge hammer, but, strangely, no sound was heard.
Outside the yard, that figure didn't understand anything strange. As if she were starving, she went to the trash can near the house's door and frantically searched for food.
The imposing figure in the room stopped abruptly. Then, he dropped the forge hammer, went to the door, and opened it without hesitation.
A beam of light suddenly appeared, causing the small figure searching for food to stop and raise its hand to block the intense light entering the room.
"There's no food here. Go look somewhere else." The words were cold and the tone quite impatient.
"Uncle, I haven't eaten in days. Please give me something to eat." The voice was soft and sweet, like that of a little girl.
As soon as the words were spoken, the girl at the door lowered the arm that covered her eyes. Her clear blue eyes gazed with pity at the figure standing in the doorway.
When the imposing figure at the door clearly saw the person's appearance, his whole body trembled, as if he had been frozen in place by a paralysis spell.
"Ah Yin..." After a long time, a trembling, hoarse voice came from the mouth of that strong figure...
