"Ah, you, you didnt let me out! Didnt you say that I have to listen to you in everything?"

  Koris turned his head and walked into the room, letting out a long sigh. He opened the window to let in some fresh air from outside to dilute the stench inside. He felt that he was really defeated by this silly kid. Taking another deep breath of fresh air, he shouted towards the toilet: "Wipe your butt clean and come out!"

  He put on his clothes, Ah-Dai walked out of the toilet, he suddenly felt that he had changed into a different person. His whole body was refreshed beyond words, as if he had lost a very heavy burden all at once, and his whole body was light and airy. Even his dull brain cleared up a bit, and his whole body was full of energy. "Teacher, what did you give me to eat just now?"

  "Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Brain Pill."

  "Whats this Jiuzhuan Yiyu Wan?"

  "Dont ask too much, sit down." Goris pointed to a stool beside him, "Ill ask you a few questions, then take you out for dinner."

  As soon as he heard the two words "eat rice", Ah Diaos eyes suddenly burned with excited flames, and he sat obediently on the stool, waiting for Goris inquiry.

  "Ah-Diu, do you have any other names? Are you a Raksha or a Hua-Sheng person?"

  ADai shook his head and said, "No, I dont have any other name. What are the Sunset People and the Huasheng People?"

  "Luori said: Luo Ri and Hua Sheng are the names of two other empires on the mainland. Looking at your black hair and eyes, you should be a descendant of one of these two countries."

  "Oh, I dont know where Im from either. The countries of Luoji and Huasheng, I think Ive heard of them before, but I dont have much impression."

  Ge Rui sat back on the bed and looked at Ah Dai, whose face had already turned much rosier, saying: "Do you know who your parents are?"

  He shook his head blankly and said: "I only remember that I was begging for food on the street all the time. One day, Uncle Li came and said he would give me something to eat, so I followed him."

  "How old are you this year?"

  "Twelve, no, thirteen years old, I think," Ah-Dai said after some thought. He wasnt really sure how old he was; the kids around Uncle Li who were about his height were all twelve or thirteen, so he figured thats probably how old he should be too.

  Twelve or thirteen, yeah, thats more suitable. Goris continued to ask: "Do you know what year and month you were born?" As soon as he asked, he regretted it - the silly kid in front of him didnt even know his own age, how would he know his birthdate?

  However, unexpectedly, Ah-Dai blurted out, "The 21st of March, year 977 of the Sacred Calendar." After saying that, even he himself was stunned.

  Koriss eyes flashed coldly as he said, "You just said you didnt know how old you were, so why are you saying it now?"

  "Ah, I, I dont know either, its just that suddenly thought of this day and said it out."

  Goris furrowed his brow, mentally calculating that it was now the 988th year of the Sacred Calendar, April. So to speak, this foolish child in front of him should be eleven years old, but the childs performance just now made him feel somewhat strange. He said coldly, "You little brat, dont try to play tricks on me."

  ADai shrunk his body and said: "No, it wont work!"

  "Come here." Goris beckoned to Adou with a wave of his hand.

  ADai reluctantly walked up to Goriath, who reached out and grasped ADais shoulder. He muttered a few low words, and a surge of heat suddenly flowed into ADais body through his shoulder. At first, ADai felt quite comfortable, but after a while, the heat transmitted by Goriath grew stronger and stronger, and ADai gradually couldnt bear it. He wanted to struggle, but found that his body was no longer under his control. The scorching air flow seemed to melt all his internal organs, constantly flowing back and forth inside him. ADais skeleton began to crackle and pop, and the intense pain made him let out a miserable scream.

  "Ah——, teacher, I cant take it anymore, spare me, okay? It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

  Georis furrowed his brow, raised his hand, and a ring of blue light enveloped Ah Dais body, completely isolating the sound inside.

  After a long time, when Ah-Dais body had become somewhat limp, Goris finally let go of his hand. He took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "I didnt expect this foolish kid to have such good roots, suitable for both magic and martial arts training. It wasnt a waste that I spent a 9-turn Easy Brain Pill on him...this is even better...later..." As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and cautiously looked at Ah-Dai with one eye. Shaking his head, Goris said: "Unfortunately, it seems like his brain has suffered some severe trauma. Even the effects of the 9-turn Easy Brain Pill cant eliminate that stagnant energy. However, this doesnt affect my experiment."

  The heat finally dissipated, Ah-Dais entire body weakened and collapsed to the ground, he didnt know why Ge-Li-Si was treating him this way, tears involuntarily flowed down.

  Goris pulled Adais body up from the ground with one hand, saying coldly: "Dont cry, I was just testing whether you have the ability to help me get things done. You understand? It wasnt to hit you." A blue light emanated from Goris hand, like a gentle stream flowing into Adais body. This was the most basic recovery spell of the water system, which Goris rarely used. In order not to leave any shadows in Adais heart, he had to help him recover his strength.

  ADai felt a cool, water-like airflow constantly flowing from Goris hands, and the lost strength was recovering bit by bit. The scorching pain caused earlier had completely disappeared, and he couldnt help but believe in Goris words a little.

  Koris pushed A-Dai onto the bench, with his back to him saying: "You must remember, only strong people can live a better life, weakness will only lead to being bullied, tears wont solve any problems."

  Ah-Dai felt that Coach Goriss words seemed to have been heard somewhere before, and it actually triggered some resonance in his mind. He wiped away the tears on his face and said timidly: "Yes, coach, I understand."

  Goris nodded and said: "Okay, then tell me, whats your favorite food? What do you want to do most?"

  The silly old man said: "I like eating mantou and chicken legs the most. What do I want to do the most? I, I dont know either."

  "Brother Gori scolded in his heart, what a foolish kid, but its also good for his own future actions. Alright, from now on, youll follow me all the time, I guarantee youll have enough to eat every day. If you dare to run away secretly, do you remember that table today? That will be your fate."

  Kors threat seemed to have no effect on Ah-Dung, who replied blankly: "As long as you can fill my belly, why would I run? But, but?"

  "But what?" Goris suddenly turned around.

  Ah-Dai looked at Goris aged face and muttered, "But if you die, what will I eat?" He clearly remembered that when his sister-in-law said that her grandmother had died because of old age, and after the grandmothers death, his sister-in-law had fallen to begging on the streets.

  Georis was so angry at Ah Duis words that his whole body shook, and he raised his hand several times, but put it down again. Thinking of his great plan, he decided to endure. He said in a bad tone: "Dont worry, even if you die, I wont die. Lets go, Ill take you out for dinner."

  "Great! Teacher, youre really too awesome!"

  "Hmph! My greatness, is it something you can comprehend?"

  Two days later, when Goris awareness of Ah-Dais body had improved a lot, he took him away from Nino City. Todays weather was unusually clear, as if it foretold that Ah-Dai would enter another starting point in his life.

  "Teacher, can I come back later?" Ah-Dai asked while looking at the small town where he had lived for over a decade behind him.

  Georis glanced at Adai and said, "Maybe, if theres a chance in the future. How about you? Is there anything else on your mind?"

  He shook his head and said, "No, no." This was the first time he lied in front of Kulis. In fact, he thought to himself that Ya Tou would come back to find him again. But he didnt say it out loud. Although Kulis had been treating him well these past few days, letting him eat his fill at every meal and even feeding him many delicacies he never dared to think about before, Ah Diaos heart still felt a faint sense of unease, as if this Master Kulis was more dangerous than Uncle Li.

  Georis didnt mind Ah-Dais words and continued walking forward with him.

  After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at a seaside port not far from Nino City. Ah-Dai had been here several times before and he loved the sea, loving the feeling of the waves crashing against the shore. Looking out at the horizon where the sky met the sea, listening to the sound of the waves pounding against the rocks, Ah-Dai was mesmerized.

  "Hurry up, we need to catch this boat." Goris turned back and shouted at Ah-Dai who was facing the sea.

  "Ship? Teacher, are you saying were going to make a ship?" His voice was somewhat excited, and he couldnt count how many times he had imagined himself like those fishermen, sitting in a small wooden boat floating on the sea. That feeling was what Ah-Dai yearned for most.

  "Right, we should go to Valyria Province, taking a boat will be much faster." Goris replied calmly.

  "Too good, too good! Im going on a boat ride, Im going on a boat ride!" Ah-Dai excitedly jumped up.

  "Be quiet for a moment," Goris frowned, "if you want to take the boat, hurry up."

  The two quickly walked to the dock, and when Ah-Dai saw the huge passenger ship that was over a hundred meters long, more than twenty meters wide, and had three decks, his mouth opened wide and he said foolishly: "This, this is the boat were taking? Its so big!" Compared to those fishing boats and the white-painted ships in front, it was simply insignificant.

  "Brother Gao hummed and said: Whats big? I think its still small, lets get on the boat."

  Across the wide gangway, Ah-Dai followed Gori to board this large ship called Baishen. Gori had bought a two-person cabin on the top deck. As soon as he boarded, Gori felt uncomfortable all over his body. The reason why he told Ah-Dai that he thought this ship was too small earlier was mainly because he suffered from seasickness. If it werent for wanting to return early and start preparing his own plan, he wouldnt have chosen to take the boat.

  The foolish Ah Diao excitedly paced back and forth in the cabin, occasionally looking out through the round glass window. Before long, a wide sail was raised on the tall mast, and the ship gradually set off. Due to the presence of icebergs in the deep sea here, this Baishen passenger ship would initially follow the coastline before entering the open sea and speeding up when it reached warmer waters.
