16: Living in the Light

Seeing Luo Xiu and Shadow becoming more and more human-like, Li Wuji felt a stir in his heart.

"Luo Xiu, do you want to go out and train alone like Galan?"

At first, he had wanted Luo Xiu to go out just like Galan, after all, staying by his side would involve many restrictions.

If they were outside, they would have no restraints, and now that Luo Xiu's problem was solved, he could also go out.

However, Luo Xiu shook his head and refused, saying, "Master, until someone who can protect your safety appears by your side, your subordinate will never leave."

Li Wuji was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Luo Xiu and Shadow in front of him and revealed a smile, "Perhaps, this is the meaning of the Editor's existence?"

After that, he didn't force it, and waited for Li Mingxuan to return in the evening.

After sensing his somewhat messy aura and the scars on his body, Li Wuji raised an eyebrow, "Mingxuan, the college entrance exam is in less than half a month, you should just Cultivate honestly during this time."

Li Mingxuan, who was burying his head in his food, paused his actions, because previously Li Wuji had always silently supported him without asking about his cultivation status.

In his words, "Everyone has their own chosen path, and since you've chosen it yourself, you must bear the consequences and have no complaints."

But Li Mingxuan instantly recovered and gave an explanation, "Brother, I'm also cultivating, that's a Body Refining Martial Skill, these injuries on my body will heal quickly and won't affect the college entrance exam."

Li Mingxuan told a white lie, after all, he couldn't possibly say that he had been going out to hunt demon beasts, and they were all demon beasts at the middle to Late Stage of the Martial Artist realm or even the Martial Warrior Realm.

He didn't say it explicitly because he didn't want Li Wuji to worry, and Li Wuji was just expressing his concern, after all, Li Mingxuan had changed a lot, it would be strange if he didn't ask anything.

So after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "Then pay attention to rest!"

"Brother, you too, don't work too hard."

Afterwards, the two buried their heads in their food, and at night, Yue Shan came to Li Wuji's room.

"Master!"

"What happened today?"

Li Wuji asked directly, and Yue Shan, not daring to hide anything, quickly said.

"Today, Li Mingxuan followed the people from the Martial Security Bureau and destroyed a small hideout of the Beast God Sect, but due to the large number of opponents, Li Mingxuan also joined the battle.

He killed a Martial Artist fifth-level member of the Beast God Sect by himself, and also exchanged for a spear Martial Skill."

"Is it the Beast God Sect again?" Li Wuji murmured, but then he took out a bottle of potion.

"Drink it, you are still too weak now."

The moment Yue Shan saw the potion, his eyes revealed a fervent gaze, "Thank you, Master!"

Taking the potion, he swallowed it directly along with the bottle, and the next moment, his body underwent a change.

The sound of bones shifting was incessant, but Li Wuji paid no attention and looked towards the window, "Do you know the distribution of the Beast God Sect in Mingde City?"

Shadow stood beside Li Wuji like a statue, and upon hearing this, he shook his head, "It's currently unclear, if Master wants to investigate, it will take some time."

"Keep an eye on it!"

"Yes!"

Luo Xiu, however, spoke, "Master, there are also several major gangs in Mingde City, should your subordinate go directly and wipe them out?"

With Luo Xiu's current strength, he had few opponents in the entire Mingde City, and there were almost none who could stop him.

However, Li Wuji refused, "If you make a move again now, it will be too frequent, and the Martial Security Bureau will definitely take action by then.

It might even attract the attention of higher-ups, and it would be bad if it affects the college entrance exam, let's wait a bit longer."

"Master, at most, let Li Mingxuan know about our existence, with Li Mingxuan's personality, he would never betray Master."

Li Wuji was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head. "Let him live in the light, he still has his youth to enjoy!"

A hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, it was the sixth year since Li Wuji transmigrated, and they met in the orphanage.

Li Mingxuan was originally named Ye Mingxuan, and their transition from strangers to now being as close as brothers was also fate's doing.

At that time, although Li Wuji was a six-year-old child, he already had the mentality of an adult, so he wouldn't play with children his age.

Because of this, he was seen as aloof, or to put it harshly, withdrawn.

But he wasn't the only one like this, the other was Ye Mingxuan.

However, Li Wuji didn't want to fit in, while Ye Mingxuan couldn't fit in.

Because Ye Mingxuan was different from a young age, his strength was astonishing, and he would occasionally hurt others, so those children didn't want to play with him.

Just as Li Wuji thought he would spend his long years in the orphanage, an accident happened.

That day, a raging fire ignited in the orphanage, and he clearly saw a group of black-clothed figures moving through the flames.

Whether it was the orphanage staff or the children, none of them were spared.

And they seemed to be searching for something, one of the black-clothed figures took out a special scroll, and the figure on it was clearly Ye Mingxuan.

Seeing this situation, Li Wuji ran immediately, he wanted to survive!

But the flames behind him suddenly erupted, and the huge shockwave directly knocked him unconscious.

"Is it going to end before it even began?"

As this thought faded, Li Wuji fell into a coma.

But when he woke up, he found that he wasn't dead, and beside him was Ye Mingxuan, who had burn injuries on his back and was also in a coma.

Ye Mingxuan was covered in injuries, not just his back, but his whole body had multiple burn injuries.

Looking at the quilt beside him, Li Wuji understood.

It must have been Ye Mingxuan who left wrapped in a quilt, but encountered the unconscious him, and then the other party wrapped him in the quilt and dragged him away.

Looking at the small unconscious figure in front of him, Li Wuji's sealed heart loosened slightly.

At this moment, Ye Mingxuan slowly got up, and seeing Li Wuji, he revealed a smile, "It's good that you're okay!"

"What's your name?"

"Ye Mingxuan!"

"The orphanage was burned down, where do you want to go?"

"I, I don't know!"

"Follow me, as long as I'm alive, you will definitely not die!"

"But, but I'll attract trouble, they say I'm a monster."

"Do you want to live?"

"I, I want to live, I didn't do anything wrong, why does everyone hate me?"

Ye Mingxuan seemed to want to vent all his grievances, he cried hysterically.

"From now on, your name is Li Mingxuan, you are my younger brother, just follow me, understand?"

Ye Mingxuan was stunned, and light bloomed in his eyes full of sadness and clarity.

"Then, then can I call you older brother?"

"Yes!"

"Brother!"

"Mm, let's go!"

"Okay, older brother!"
