Chapter 14 Discussing with the Old Man
"So, little friend, have you thought it over? Do you want to join the Spirit Hall? You know, if you join the Spirit Hall, you'll get a lot of benefits..." Su Yuntao was there, advertising the Spirit Hall non-stop, as if it would be his loss if Ling Xiao didn't join.
"Um, Uncle, could I think about it? I'd like to discuss it with my grandfather," Ling Xiao said timidly.
"Of course you can, it's your right."
In Su Yuntao's view, as long as Ling Xiao did not refuse on the spot, there was a possibility of bringing him into the Spirit Hall. Even if he did not want to join, he believed that with his silver tongue, he could definitely persuade Ling Xiao and the old man.
Thinking of this, Su Yuntao was in a very good mood. After packing up the awakened equipment, he led Ling Xiao towards the door.
Upon reaching the door, he saw the villagers who hadn't left yet, including Village Chief Tom and the old man. Su Yuntao greeted them with a broad smile, saying, "Congratulations, Grandpa and Old Tom! Your village is producing a Soul Master this year!"
"Really?" the old man asked incredulously.
“Of course it’s true. Congratulations, sir. Your grandson has great talent. I’m planning to have him join the Spirit Hall. What do you think?” Su Yuntao asked gently.
"Uncle Su Yuntao, how many villages haven't you awakened yet?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"There are four more. What's wrong, Ling Xiao?" Su Yuntao asked, puzzled, but he still told the truth.
“Uncle, I’m going to discuss this with my grandfather. Could you give us a little time to talk about it? Go awaken the martial spirits in those four villages first. Once you’ve finished everything, come back and I’ll give you an answer,” Ling Xiao replied.
"Okay, of course. It was my oversight. You must give me an answer when I'm done with this." Su Yuntao said cheerfully.
After saying goodbye to Old Tom and the old man, he left the village and headed towards the other four villages, his steps light and quick.
After Su Yuntao left, Old Tom also said goodbye to the old man, and then the old man and Ling Xiao went back to their own home.
"Ling Xiao, you were a bit rude just now. Fortunately, Master Su Yuntao didn't mind, otherwise you would have been seriously injured or even killed." The old man said with a serious face.
"I understand, Grandpa, I will change it." Ling Xiao looked very receptive.
"Grandson, what do you want to talk to me about?" Although the old man knew that Ling Xiao hadn't taken his words to heart, he didn't want to dwell on it too much. After all, dwelling on it too much might affect their relationship.
"Grandpa, this is my martial spirit."
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he released his martial spirit. The old man observed Ling Xiao's martial spirit but did not find anything wrong with it.
Ling Xiao noticed the old man's confusion and explained, "Grandpa, after my martial soul awakened, I received the inheritance of a god. The messenger sent by that god to protect me is arriving soon, so I'm telling you about it."
"A messenger of the gods? Where is he? Ling Xiao, do we need to make any preparations?" The old man asked three questions in a row, leaving Ling Xiao at a loss for words.
"We'll be there soon, so we don't need to prepare anything," Ling Xiao said.
"How can that be! You must know he is a messenger of God!" the old man said with dissatisfaction.
Just then, the angel sent by the system appeared, just like when Ling Xiao awakened, accompanied by its own hymns.
Fortunately, he knew to keep a low profile and reduced the scope of his strange phenomena, confining them to Ling Xiao's courtyard.
"By the decree of the Lord of Light, Ling Xiao is hereby named the Holy Son of Light. Ling Shi has rendered meritorious service in raising the Holy Son, and is hereby granted a baptism of light and a seed of light," Father Luke said solemnly.
