"It can't be escaped; it's been chasing the Old Man for over a hundred years. Every time the Old Man thinks he has evaded it, it always catches up," Old Lu said, his face full of helplessness. This time, he wasn't caught up in Mo Wen's talk of escape.
"With your strength, can't you just kill it?"
"How can you think like that? Always shouting about fighting and killing. You need to learn to win without battle," Old Lu snapped back. However, seeing Mo Wen's skeptical expression, he had to admit, "If I kill her, the Old Man will be hunted down everywhere and have no place to stand."
"Aren't you already being hunted everywhere?" Mo Wen asked, confused. If they killed the pursuer, wouldn't that solve the problem?
"The Old Man is not being hunted everywhere; he simply doesn't want to get entangled with her," Old Lu replied, clearly displeased with Mo Wen's words. "Besides, the Old Man and she can only be considered adversaries, not enemies."
"Oh... I didn't expect Old Lu to have a romantic debt!" Upon hearing this, Mo Wen finally understood that the one chasing Old Lu across the world was a woman. Looking at Old Lu's expression, it seemed he had done something wrong and felt guilty. Although he had never experienced such matters himself, he had read enough stories to know.
"Get lost... What do you know, you little brat!" Old Lu became even more embarrassed at Mo Wen's comment. "Now let me tell you about the next plan. The Old Man will draw her away, and then you can escape on your own."
"What! I have to escape on my own?" Now it was Mo Wen's turn to explode. He could hardly imagine escaping from this forest alone.
"Yes, you heard me right. The Old Man has to deal with that woman and can't take you with him."
"But how can I escape by myself?"
"Isn't Xiao Hei going to escape with you?"
"That's not it... There are so many Demon Beasts and Chimeras in this forest; what if I can't handle them?"
"That's why the Old Man said to let you escape; he didn't say anything about killing your way out."
"But I might die on the way out."
"Don't worry; it's just a possibility. If you stick with the Old Man, that woman will kill you directly; you'll definitely die."
"But what about you?"
"The Old Man can't protect you. After so many years without fighting her, her Realm might be above mine; she's a prodigious talent in cultivation." At this point, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Old Lu's mouth.
"But I..."
"It's not that the Old Man doesn't want to take you; it's that if you follow him, she'll definitely kill you. You're already twelve years old; kids your age outside can get married. Besides, if you want to become stronger, you must go through life-and-death experiences. This is a perfect opportunity..." After much effort, Old Lu finally managed to convince the tearful Mo Wen.
In the following days, Mo Wen was lost in despair and even neglected his training. Seeing him like this made Old Lu want to grab him and give him a good beating but he restrained himself.
"Mo, if you keep going like this, you'll surely die in this forest."
"But I don't want to be apart from you."
"The Old Man can't protect you forever; no one can protect you forever. Strong people must strengthen themselves. If you want to be protected all the time, then don't cultivate at all. You might as well not pursue your origins and live as a fool." With his sleeves rolled up and ready for action, Old Lu noticed that Mo Wen seemed to have fallen silent, sitting there as if deep in thought, which stopped him from taking any further action.
