"It can't be escaped; it's been chasing after the Old Man for over a hundred years. Every time the Old Man thinks he's managed to hide, it always catches up with him," Old Lu said, his face full of helplessness. This time, he wasn't fixated on what Mo Wen had said about escaping.
"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, but when he saw Mo Wen's skeptical expression, he had to admit, "If I kill her, the Old Man will be hunted down by everyone in the world and will have no place to stand."
"Aren't you already being hunted by everyone?" Mo Wen asked, confused. If he was being chased, wouldn't killing the pursuer solve the problem?
"The Old Man isn't being hunted by everyone; he just doesn't want to get entangled with her," Old Lu retorted, clearly displeased by 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 after Old Lu was a woman. Looking at Old Lu's expression, it seemed he had done something wrong and felt guilty. Although he hadn't experienced such matters himself, he had read enough stories about them.
"Go away... What do you know, you little brat!" Old Lu became even more embarrassed at Mo Wen's words. "Now let me tell you about the 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 couldn't imagine getting out of this forest by himself.
"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 alone?"
"Isn't Xiao Hei going with you?"
"That's not the point... 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!"
"Don't worry; it's just a possibility. If you stay with the Old Man, that woman will kill you directly; you'll definitely die."
"But aren't you there?"
"The Old Man can't protect you. After so many years without fighting her, her Realm might be above mine; she's an exceptionally talented cultivator." At this point, a slight smile crept onto Old Lu's lips.
"But I..."
"It's not that the Old Man doesn't want to take you; it's just that if you stay with him, she will definitely kill you. You're already twelve years old; kids your age outside can get married. Moreover, if you want to grow stronger, you must go through life-and-death trials. This is a perfect opportunity..." After much effort, Old Lu finally managed to persuade the weeping Mo Wen. In the following days, Mo Wen was lost in thought and even neglected his training. Seeing him like this made Old Lu want to grab him and give him a good beating but he held back.
"Mo, if you keep this up, you'll definitely die in this forest."
"But I don't want to be separated 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 your life, then maybe you shouldn't cultivate at all or pursue your origins; being a fool isn't such a bad choice."
