The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 145

Chapter 145 : The One He’s Looking For

It was rare that he could actually make out this point that it surprised Ling Xiao.

But Ling Xiao didn’t give a direct answer. Instead he said meaningfully, “Do you know why souls of transcendent level mages are described as multicolored?”

You XiaoMo pondered for a bit, “Can it be that the souls of transcendent level mages are made up of seven colors?”

But that’s not right. He just saw the colors that appeared on top of the evaluation stone. Clearly it wasn’t seven colors. Although the colors were a little strange, such that he was unable to describe it, but it still should not be seven colors. He was not color blind such that he couldn’t make that out.

“You only got it half right.” Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and stroked the evaluation stone while speaking with a smile.

“What do you mean?” You XiaoMo asked curiously.

“The souls of transcendent level mages are indeed multicolored. But multicolored souls are also divided into different levels. The people of Long Xiang Continent only know that the souls of transcendent level mages have seven colors, but they don’t know that the seven colors also have high and low grades. But the level of Long Xiang Continent is rather low, so it is not surprising that they don’t know.” Ling Xiao explained.

You XiaoMo was suddenly confused. It was really getting more and more complex, leaving him incapable of understanding.

Ling Xiao could almost see spirals like mosquito coils appearing inside his eyes so he rubbed his head while saying dotingly, “It’s alright if you don’t understand. Right now, you still haven’t come in contact with higher planes but you will have the opportunity in the future.”

You XiaoMo looked at the slight smile on his face. He felt that the Ling Xiao now was almost not the same as the usual Ling Xiao. Suddenly, with a stroke of genius, he couldn’t help guessing, “Ling-shixiong, the even higher plane that you speak of, is it the place you lived before?”

Ever since he sort of figured out Ling Xiao’s strength, he felt that Ling Xiao didn’t seem to be from the Long Xiang Continent because his power was high, and there were times when his understanding of practitioners and mages were not quite the same which was different from what he saw in books. Therefore, hearing his words, he felt that the “even higher plane” he spoke of was someplace he had been before.

Ling Xiao smirked, making out the concern and cautiousness in the tone of his words. A smile curved his lips, “Of course, it can’t be that you think the Long Xiang Continent, this tiny place, can actually produce someone as awesome as me?”

Narcissistic, absolutely narcissistic!

You XiaoMo couldn’t stop himself from rolling his eyes. Such a good atmosphere was ruined by him again.

“Ling-shixiong, since it’s like this, why did you leave that place to come to the Long Xiang Continent, this tiny place?” You XiaoMo suddenly blinked at him mischievously, fluttering his eyelashes, seeming somewhat like a crafty little fox.

Hearing this jab, the smile on Ling Xiao’s handsome face got even brighter. Looking at the smile on his face, he suddenly felt his hands start to itch. He stretches his hand out wanting to give him a flick on his forehead but You XiaoMo already sensed it, covering his head one step before him.

After taking the necessary precautions, You XiaoMo stuck his tongue out at him.

You can’t flick me. You can’t flick me.

Ling Xiao laughed and simply pulled him into his arms. Then he went all out and ravaged his head.

Rookie, don’t think that I can’t punish you just because you’re on guard. You still have much to learn.

You XiaoMo’s cheeks were puffed up in anger as he glared at him, sporting a chicken coop hairstyle, absolutely adorable and comical.

Ling Xiao who did not feel the least bit guilty untied the red string that was holding his hair together and then started to straighten out his hair again. Ten fingers running through the soft and silky hair, made him feel extremely content such that he couldn’t help letting out a sigh while continuing with the topic.

“Me? Of course there is a reason why I’m here.” Ling Xiao said.

“What is it?” You XiaoMo blurted out, only realizing after the fact that this question was somewhat infringing on his privacy.

Ever since Ling Xiao replaced Lin Xiao as the master disciple of the Warrior Division of the Tian Xin Sect, this question had always been hidden in You XiaoMo’s heart. Especially after he found out that he was such a powerful person he was even more curious as to what it was that drew him to the Tian Xin Sect. Today, he finally popped the question.

But –

This was definitely not intentional. Who asked Ling Xiao to say those words that made it so natural for him to ask. Anyone who heard those words would also blurt out ‘what was it’ so one couldn’t blame him.

After saying this, You XiaoMo lowered his head, not daring to look at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao didn’t seem to sense his embarrassment. Raising his head, the look in his eyes deepened much deeper than it ever had before. A long time later, he said in a deep and quiet voice, “I’m looking for someone.”

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo couldn’t stop himself from raising his head and looking at him, just in time to see the unconcealed turbulence in his eyes. As if this person was the enemy that killed his father. A moment later, he couldn’t stop himself from asking, “The enemy that killed your father?”

He couldn’t hold back the excitement in his voice. He was already making up a tragic life story in his mind.

He felt that the reason why Ling Xiao ran over to the Long Xiang Continent was because he was chasing after the enemy that killed his father. But that enemy that killed his father was just as powerful as him so Ling Xiao had no way of finding him immediately. That’s why he was staying on the Long Xiang Continent, waiting until the day when he finally found the enemy that killed his father. Then he would take his revenge, and leave this place…

The result was right after he said those words a thud rang out on his head. Our friend You XiaoMo finally reached a record today, getting hit on his head by Ling Xiao four times.

So a certain hapless brat leaned on Ling Xiao’s chest, two streams of tears almost bursting out of his eyes. Why did he have to use so much force every time? His head was not made out of steel, couldn’t he be a little gentler?

The instigator gently rubbed the spot on the head that he just hit, saying in a soft and gentle voice, “What crazy thoughts are you having? Aren’t you just looking to get hit?”

What enemy that killed his father? How did this melon seed head come about with that idea?

You XiaoMo teared up as he cursed in his heart, you fucker!

Returning to the topic, You XiaoMo persisted in asking, “Since it’s not that, then who are you looking for? What has that person got to do with you entering the Tian Xin Sect?”

“Of course there is a connection.” Ling Xiao nodded in answer, not keeping him in suspense.

“Then what is the reason?” You XiaoMo continued asking.

“Because…there are many people in the Tian Xin Sect!” Ling Xiao beamed while speaking.

“…” You XiaoMo was speechless.

What kind of answer was this? It couldn’t be that he could find the person he was looking for just because there were a lot of people? Then why didn’t he just go to Qing City or HunJi City where there were even more people? A hundred thousand questions floated through You XiaoMo’s mind along with a hundred thousand curses.

His nosy self couldn’t be stopped! You XiaoMo thought that since he already brought it up, he should pry into the matter to the end. Otherwise, it would eat at him until his curious heart exploded.

So, he asked anxiously, “What kind of person are you actually looking for? What has it got to do with the Tian Xin Sect having many people?”

Ling Xiao glanced at him ambiguously.

You XiaoMo got the message and finally realized that he was too hasty. He rubbed his nose guiltily and then he silently covered his head. The question was already out there, he just needed to quickly answer it. At the worst, cough cough, even if he was hit on the head again, if that was exchanged for Ling Xiao’s secret, our friend You XiaoMo felt that it was absolutely worth it.

Ling Xiao figured out his character a long time ago. Simply speaking, You XiaoMo was soft hearted but fearful. Just like at SiFang Town. What not take petty advantages? Clearly it was because he empathized with that mother and son pair so he willingly bought it at the original price. It was too bad that he can only deal with these types of people. With those that were a little stronger, he was no longer able to hold his own. But…luckily the first one he came across was himself.

“Me? I’m looking for a mage. The Tian Xin Sect is a major sect with countless mages and they have connections so it is easy for me to search. As for why I’m looking for this person, I can’t tell you for now because the time is not right. When the time is right, I will tell you myself.” Ling Xiao said.

You XiaoMo finally understood why Ling Xiao wanted to enter the Tian Xin Sect and it looked like this was the reason. Poor pitiful Lin Xiao. You XiaoMo couldn’t help from offering a handful of tears of sympathy for him. What kind of bad luck did he have to meet with Ling Xiao?

“The person you’re looking for is a high level mage? Have you found him?” You XiaoMo asked.

“Not a high level mage, but I’ve already found him.” There was an enigmatic smile in Ling Xiao’s eyes as he beamed while looking at him.

“Who is it?” You XiaoMo’s eyes were sparkling.

Although he was somewhat surprised that it was not a high level mage, the last part of his words stoked his nosy self, fanning the flames of his nosiness. He had already found him, this was unexpected. Then since he already found him, why was he still staying in the Tian Xin Sect?

Accompanying this thought was a flash of disappointment but before he could take a closer look, it already disappeared.

“That person…” Ling Xiao paused, deliberately keeping him in suspense. Only after he was hanging at the highest point did he get close to him while saying, “He is actually a puny mage who is so stupid that he angers both men and gods. Every time I bully him, he gets angry but doesn’t dare to say anything. When his hackles are raised, he’s like a hedgehog but his spines are soft. When they prick me, it feels ticklish. He also does things stupidly, not uttering a sound when bullied. Tell me, isn’t he extremely stupid?”

You XiaoMo, “…”

Why the hell, why the hell did the person he described sound so much like himself?

No way, no way. He shouldn’t be talking about him right? How was he that pathetic? Right? Right? Right?

Damn it, the person Ling Xiao was talking about was basically him!

The puny mage Ling Xiao spoke about already had his hackles raised. After thinking up scenarios for half a day, the ‘enemy that killed his father’ in his scenarios was actually himself. This was too much of a joke!

But why was Ling Xiao looking for him?

The hedgehog with raised hackles softened by himself without waiting for Ling Xiao to calm him down. Compared to the words Ling Xiao used to describe him, he took more notice of the fact that he was the person Ling Xiao was looking for. Why was he the one he was looking for? Could it be that before he crossed over, Ling Xiao and ‘You XiaoMo’ already knew each other?

In reality, they were already lovers. Then ‘You XiaoMo’ was unhappy with Ling Xiao treating him overbearingly and dictatorially so after a huge argument, he left home. Then, fortunately, he caught the attention of the Tian Xin Sect and smoothly entered. Then, Ling Xiao, as his lover, thought that his loved one most probably entered the Tian Xin Sect so he came running after. The result was, the both of them never imagined that You XiaoMo was no longer the original ‘You XiaoMo’, separated by life and death…

One hundred thousand alpacas again appear in his mind…

But before the one hundred thousand alpacas could gallop across his mind, they were throttled to death, because Ling Xiao’s hands were currently wrapped around his neck, his foreboding smiling face magnified in front of his face.

“Xiao Shidi, what were you just thinking of?” Ling Xiao asked.

You XiaoMo struggled to stick his tongue out, “Nothing…not thinking of anything…”

Ling Xiao’s stare at him got darker and darker, then he moved forward and captured his tongue with his mouth…

You XiaoMo, “…”

Such a serious atmosphere and he actually did such an inappropriate thing. You XiaoMo erupted in a bright red. He was hateful. He couldn’t breathe and his neck was already being throttled and now the air in his mouth was being sucked away. How much did he hate him?

After a long while…

Ling Xiao finally let go of his tongue and asked while laughing, “Really not thinking of anything?”

You XiaoMo took a big gulp of air and quickly raised his hand while saying, “There is, there is, there is. Actually I was thinking of why you were looking for me but I couldn’t figure it out.”

He was afraid that Ling Xiao would ask him what he thought the reason was, so he quickly added the last part.

Ling Xiao finally released his hold. His eyes seemed to be saying he would let him off for now.

Regaining his freedom, You XiaoMo heaved a sigh of relief. This world was actually quite good so it was better if he remained alive.

After the intermission, You XiaoMo finally remembered the original issue.

Just when he was about to loosen his grip on Ling Xiao’s clothes, You XiaoMo suddenly reacted, quickly tightening his grip once again, “That’s not right. I don’t seem to have crossed paths with you before. Why are you looking for me for no reason?”

Although he didn’t have the memories of the original body, he felt that the original body and Ling Xiao were people from two different worlds, with simply no chance of coming across each other.

“Don’t get worked up. I also only found out today that you are the person I’m looking for.” Ling Xiao gripped his hand, as if knowing what he was worried about, speaking in a gentle and soft voice.

“It couldn’t be…that it was the evaluation stone?” You XiaoMo gaped. He can only think of this reason. This world was too much of a fantasy, although it already was quite simply a land of fantasy.
