Chapter 8

"Crash!"

However, just at this moment, the tightly sealed great door of the back courtyard suddenly swung open!

A middle-aged man with a solemn face, dressed in a brocade robe, strode quickly inside!

Behind this middle-aged man were many elders, and even countless servants.

The youth took one look, was stunned, and instinctively said: "Father? Grand Elder? Second Elder? Third Elder? What is this…"

"Hahaha, who would have thought my son was actually a Child of Destiny. All these years, your father has wronged you. Come, come, come! From today onward, you are the seed core of the clan!" That stern middle-aged man completely changed his usual solemnity, becoming kind and amiable.

Even the surrounding elders, every one of them, were all smiles. Looking at the youth, they spoke: "Who would have thought, our Ye clan could also produce a Child of Destiny. In the future, our Ye clan will surely rise to greatness and soar straight to the heavens! Child, the Ye clan will henceforth be entrusted to your hands!"

"We respectfully welcome the Eldest Young Master!" The surrounding servants all bowed in unison and spoke in deep voices.

Those faces that had looked down on him with mockery and contempt in the past vanished in this moment, every single one of them now wearing a fawning, ingratiating expression.

The youth was dumbfounded!

But the next second, the youth's expression changed. He sneered as he looked at the crowd: "Back then, you all wore faces full of disgust as you locked me in here. Now you bow and scrape, wanting to bring me out? Heh heh…"

"What words are these, Eldest Young Master? Isn't it just that we few old bones failed to recognize Taishan?" Those few elders said with sycophantic smiles.

"Fine, this young master's in a good mood today. Let's go…" The youth said, and with head held high and chest thrown out, he strode boldly outward…

Behind, the clan head and those various elders exchanged glances and smiled!

……

Scenes like this one were almost playing out across countless worlds.

Some down-and-out youths—orphans, menial servants, slaves, abandoned young masters, and the like…

Regardless of whether they had a ring or not, they first called out a couple of times, wanting to determine whether there was another soul within their body.

Those who had rings—especially heirlooms passed down from their ancestors, or keepsakes left behind by mother or father—were even more overjoyed.

Like madmen, they called out to the ring.

Almost everywhere on the streets, one could see existences calling out to rings…

Even those without rings would hurry to the market to buy one right away!

The price of rings skyrocketed in almost no time at all, to the point that supply could not even meet demand.

Especially some ancient rings of bygone eras—those prices were bid up to the heavens. A single ring could even buy an entire nation!

At this moment, The Myriad Heavens and Worlds were in complete chaos!

……

And at this moment, on the Dou Qi Continent, at the back mountain of the Xiao clan.

Brother Xiao Yan stared at the ring in his hand, dumbfounded.

"I'm a Child of Destiny?" he muttered, his eyes full of disbelief.

The moment that tenth-ranked person came out, no matter how he looked at it, it felt familiar.

Although his strength had not yet begun to advance by leaps and bounds, with Yaozunde Gang's help, his strength would definitely advance by leaps and bounds. Such an abnormality would surely be noticed by his father, and even other members of the clan.

He had even prepared his excuse.

Mm, he had a Master who gave him guidance in his dreams…

He looked again at the various words on the Golden List.

Knowing hidden secrets…

Unknown enemies…

Damn…

Isn't this fucking talking about me?

"Old man…" Brother Xiao Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say something…

At this moment, that Yaozun was also rendered speechless.

This fucking…

Child of Destiny?

What kind of joke is this?

Just any random person he happened to run into could be a Child of Destiny?

Fake, right?

At this moment, Yaozun also fell into self-doubt.

This was simply inconceivable. Having lived so many years, he had never seen such an outrageous matter…

This kid, Brother Xiao Yan, did indeed have talent. If he hadn't absorbed so many years' worth of Dou Qi, Brother Xiao Yan would definitely have become famous in one stroke, soaring straight to the heavens, becoming a little prodigy renowned far and wide.

It's just that…

The prodigies on this Dou Qi Continent were simply too numerous.

But why was it that the one he happened to encounter was some Child of Destiny?

Real or fake?

He found it somewhat hard to believe.

But there was no choice but to believe. On that Golden List, every characteristic had been written out. How could he still not believe?

He had casually taken on a disciple, and that disciple really was a Child of Destiny?

"If I really have become a Child of Destiny…"

Brother Xiao Yan furrowed his brow. To speak honestly, if he really had become a Child of Destiny, there was naturally joy. But then, he felt worry instead…

Yes, worry!

What does a Child of Destiny who hasn't grown up yet even count for?

If someone targeted him, if a supreme expert slapped him down with one palm and wiped out this Child of Destiny, then…

Damn...

Just thinking about it made him shudder with fear!

"Boy, from now on, when we communicate, we must still hide it!" Medicine Venerable spoke in a low, ghostly tone.

Regardless of whether he is a child of fortune.

Once the characteristics are exposed, even if he is not a child of fortune, others will try every means to target Brother Xiao Yan, to target him!

If he does not restrain himself, he will die without even knowing how!

"Rest assured! I know this!" Brother Xiao Yan spoke in a deep voice, looking at the various characteristics on the Golden List, his eyes narrowing...

From now on, he must learn to hide himself; whatever cultivation art he obtains, he cannot attribute it to a non-existent Master, nor can he speak of guidance in a dream.

His knowledge base can only reflect what his identity should know!

Nor can he show inexplicable hostility toward anyone he does not know.

In short, everything must prioritize survival!

As long as he does not speak, as long as he hides himself, once he becomes powerful in the future, even if he is truly exposed, it will matter not!

At this moment, Brother Xiao Yan thought thus.

However, just as The Myriad Heavens and Worlds fell into chaos, and countless people frowned in deep thought, unable to understand...

It was seen that streams of light circled the Golden List, and then, new text appeared upon it.

【Representative figures of such golden fingers include: Dou Qi Continent???】

Brother Xiao Yan:???

Medicine Venerable:???

The Xiao Family members:???.
