第三千零二十章 陆盈儿

Although Lin Xuan did not say it himself, the other party might not dare to lie either. However, with his promise just now, the other party would definitely try their best when answering questions.

Lin Xuan's words brought a great joy to the other party, who showed an extremely respectful expression: "Senior, please ask."

"Is your esteemed family one that was born and raised in this lost plane, or did you happen to arrive from another plane?"

"How could Senior think of such a question? My ancestors were cultivators born and raised on this lost plane. However, after reaching the Profound Void realm, due to their limited资质, they couldn't advance any further. Disheartened, they married and had children, passing down generation by generation until we reached our current scale."

The middle-aged scholar was filled with surprise as he spoke. He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to ask such a question; why would he be interested in the origins of his family?

Could this old monster actually be an acquaintance of his ancestors?

These thoughts swirled through his mind.

"Ah?" Lin Xuan's expression showed no signs of surprise: "Then does your esteemed family accept outsiders as disciples, even if they have no blood relation?"

"This situation is rare. However, if we truly encounter a promising talent with excellent资质, there’s no reason to miss the opportunity and we would naturally try to take them in," the middle-aged scholar replied honestly.

Lin Xuan was not surprised either. Although most cultivator families usually relied on blood relations as their bond, for the sake of family strength and continuation, accepting talented outsiders without a blood relation was now common practice in the cultivation world.

"Then is the young lady who just won the duel part of your esteemed family’s direct lineage or an outsider we brought in?" Lin Xuan asked with his usual composed expression, but the concern in his tone could not be concealed.

"This..."

The middle-aged scholar was speechless. He had truly been unable to answer this question. Although he showed utmost respect and even dared not breathe in front of Lin Xuan, he was the only Spirit Formation realm cultivator in their tiny family. He was always authoritative and decisive. How would such a minor Flexible Spirit period disciple catch his attention, especially when she performed exceptionally well? In his eyes, she was merely an ant.

He never imagined that this insignificant ant could attract the notice of a Golden Transformation realm existence.

Such matters were hard to believe unless one experienced them firsthand. Even if someone told him, he wouldn’t believe it—how could a Golden Transformation realm powerhouse be interested in a mere Flexible Spirit period novice?

Amidst his shock and curiosity, he smiled apologetically: "Senior, please forgive me. Our family has thousands of cultivators; I naturally cannot recall every single one’s background."

"However, Senior need not worry. I will go ask about her origins right now."

Before the words were even finished, a transmission scroll flew out from his sleeve.

Not long after,

a bright flame returned. After apologizing to Lin Xuan, he handed it over to him.

Then he released his divine sense...

"Report to Senior, this girl is named Lu Ying'er and she is one of our direct lineage disciples..."

"What? Lu Ying'er, she also has the name Lu Ying'er?"

The middle-aged scholar was interrupted by Lin Xuan's excited expression. He stared in disbelief at the somewhat agitated old monster before him, finally swallowing his saliva. His heart was filled with curiosity and shock.

What was so extraordinary about the name Lu Ying'er? How could a Golden Transformation realm powerhouse be so agitated?

He couldn’t figure it out but dared not ask anything.

"Are you truly certain that she is part of your esteemed family’s direct lineage?" Lin Xuan said solemnly.

"This point will have no mistake. If Senior does not believe, I can fetch the genealogy for you to see. This girl is indeed from our Lu family and her bloodline is pure. However, her background is tragic; both her parents passed away over a decade ago. Although she has the family’s care, it cannot compare to having one's own biological parents," the middle-aged scholar sighed.

"Indeed so. Is this truly such a coincidence in the world or is the legendary cycle path real..."

Lin Xuan’s self-talk echoed into his ears, followed by him slapping his head. He was indeed foolish; the theory of reincarnation must be true. Mo Er wasn’t she the incarnation of the Arrogant King?

"Reincarnation and rebirth?"

The middle-aged scholar heard clearly but remained confused. He still had no answers and dared not ask anything.

He could only stand respectfully by Lin Xuan’s side.

"Is this girl named Lu Ying'er? Then, bring her here; I have some matters to inquire of her."

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Yes!"

The middle-aged scholar naturally followed his instructions. Although he was curious about why a Golden Transformation realm powerhouse would be interested in a mere Flexible Spirit period cultivator, it clearly wasn’t something he should pry into. Knowing too many secrets could bring trouble.

He understood this and thus said nothing more, waving his sleeve to send out another transmission scroll.

After about a cup of tea’s time,

a streak of light flew over from afar. With Lin Xuan's keen eyes, the speed of the streak was quite slow.

The light then dimmed, revealing the figure of the young lady in green robes. She moved gracefully into the hall and bowed deeply:

"Ying'er pays respects to Senior and the Grandfather."

Her voice remained calm, but her tension could not be hidden no matter how hard she tried. This wasn’t strange; with her current strength, facing a Spirit Formation realm cultivator and a Golden Transformation realm powerhouse, she had already done very well by not trembling or fainting.

She truly had excellent mental fortitude.

The composure in her eyes was somewhat familiar to Lin Xuan.

At one time, Ying'er was like this as well. Although her spiritual root was slightly lacking, she remained calm and composed compared to other cultivators of the same level.

This young lady not only shared a similar personality but also had the same name as Lu Ying'er. Could there truly be such coincidences?

Of course, Lin Xuan suspected that this girl might be the reincarnation of human world’s Lu Ying'er, not just because of these minor coincidences. He felt a familiar connection from her soul, one extremely similar to Lu Ying'er.

Perceiving connections between souls was something only advanced cultivators could do. If it weren’t for Lin Xuan's advancement to Golden Transformation realm and his exceptionally strong divine sense, he might not have sensed this connection even if he had met the girl face-to-face.
