Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 385: The Two of Us Have Hitched Our Wagon to a Star!

Su Ming took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the storm raging in his heart. He knew his master was skirting the issue, but he also understood that since he was still alive, it meant the immediate crisis had passed.

He didn’t press for details. Some things, his master kept from him for his own good. Right now, he didn’t even qualify to know the truth.

“Then… what’s the result?” Su Ming asked.

“The result is that the two of us have now hitched our wagon to a star,” Lin Yu said with a sly chuckle. “From now on, you can swagger around the sect without anyone daring to mess with you. Of course, that’s assuming you don’t provoke someone like the Sect Leader.”

Su Ming was stunned.

Hitched their wagon to a star?

“Alright, don’t stand around freezing in this cold wind,” Lin Yu urged. “Let’s head back. The show’s over, but we still need to get our stories straight, so we don’t slip up later.”

Su Ming nodded.

He took one last look at that old pine tree, then turned and walked toward his cave dwelling.

His steps were a bit unsteady, as if he were walking on cotton. It wasn’t until he pushed open the stone door, entered the familiar-smelling secret chamber, and saw the formation lines flickering on the surrounding stone walls that he felt a sliver of genuine safety.The stone door slowly closed, sealing off the wind, rain, and prying eyes from the outside world.

Su Ming sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion. Instead of immediately entering a trance, he pulled out a flask of cold tea from his storage pouch and took a big gulp.

The icy tea flowed down his throat into his stomach, sending a shiver through him. His mind finally sharpened a bit.

“Master,” Su Ming set down the flask, “can you talk now?”

A faint light flickered on the Xuantian ring.

Lin Yu’s soul body didn’t emerge. His voice directly resounded in Su Ming’s Consciousness Sea. “That person just now recognized me as a ‘Survivor of the Shen Family.’”

Su Ming was taken aback. “The Shen Family? Which Shen Family?”

“The one that was wiped out a thousand years ago—a formation-crafting aristocratic family,” Lin Yu explained briefly. “It’s the same excuse Sect Leader Yun Miao used to save you from the Heart-Questioning Platform.”

Su Ming’s mind raced.
