“Of course I know!”

Xu Ke’s voice was somewhat proud.

“I’ve said before, Brother Lu Ya is very nice.”

“When he brought me to the Beast Taming Sect, knowing that I was a naughty kid who liked to run around in this massive sect, he gave me a jade badge to make it easier for him to find me.”

“He can sense my position at any time.”

“And this function is mutual, I can also find him whenever I want.”

“Heh heh, I know that when I first joined the sect, Brother Lu Ya gave me this jade badge because he was afraid I would be bullied.”

As Xu Ke responded, he showed Li Fan the jade badge hanging on his chest.

Looking at the badge, Li Fan noticed it had a similarity to the Exotic Beast that Lu Ya rode previously, which had a human face and a tiger body.

But seeing Xu Ke’s smug face, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel annoyed for some reason.

He curtly said, “Since the jade badge works both ways, Brother Lu Ya will surely know when you get close.”

“He is now with Mr. Bai, and he didn’t want you to meet Mr. Bai before. So, he will definitely try to avoid you this time.”

Xu Ke laughed it off, “Little Xuan, you’re overthinking it, certainly not…”

However, before he could finish, he suddenly froze: “What happened? The connection suddenly disappeared?!”

The Azure Luan Bird he was riding hadn’t reacted yet and still dumbly headed towards the direction Xu Ke had originally pointed out.

Xu Ke lamented with a mournful face, “Little Xuan, you really do have a knack for bad luck. Good things never happen, but bad things always come true…”

Li Fan sneered and gave him a claw swipe.

Xu Ke touched his head, but didn’t give up on finding Lu Ya.

His eyes shone as he thought of an idea.

“Little Xuan, since you are the legendary Heavenly Mandate Mystic Bird, you must be very capable.”

“Can you help me find where Brother Lu Ya and Mr. Bai are now?”

Li Fan lifted his head slightly, looking proud.

Seeing this, Xu Ke immediately spoke many kind words and promised to find three [Thorn Insect Herbs] for Li Fan.

The memory of the exquisite taste of that red insect herb was deeply imprinted in the Mystic Bird’s consciousness.

Tempted by delicious food, and also curious about meeting the mysterious Mr. Bai, Li Fan leaped onto Xu Ke’s head.

He activated his Innate Divine Ability and scanned the distance.

Whether it was Lu Ya or Mr. Bai, their destinies should certainly stand out amongst ordinary people.

Within the Beast Taming Sect, they should be very noticeable.

Li Fan thought so, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

Not far away, he did indeed see a blue radiance of destiny, conspicuously illuminating the area.

Yet, there was nothing around this radiance.

“Could it be that Mr. Bai has already left the Beast Taming Sect?”

“Or, does this conspicuous destiny not belong to Lu Ya?”

Li Fan was a bit confused, but still marked the location in his mind for Xu Ke.

Xu Ke was very excited and quickly urged Little Green to hasten towards the target.

The Azure Luan Bird also obeyed and dutifully carried him at a faster speed, despite having just met the young boy.

The location of Lu Ya seemed to be in a small cottage on a mountaintop.

Just when Xu Ke was getting close, a slender figure flew out from the top of the mountain and disappeared in a blink.

Li Fan felt a slight sensation that the person seemed to glance in Xu Ke’s direction before he disappeared.

“Mr. Bai!” Xu Ke exclaimed.

However, Li Fan seemed a bit serious.

Because he saw very clearly that Mr. Bai had no destiny visible above his head.

“Perceiving destiny is the divine technique of the Mystic Bird Tribe. What level of cultivation must one reach to be able to avoid the observation of the Heavenly Mandate Mystic Bird?”

The Mystic Bird that Li Fan was inhabiting didn’t have a memory of its ancestors encountering such a situation.

Xu Ke stared in the direction where Mr. Bai disappeared, frozen in place for a while.

Then, he reluctantly let Little Green fly towards Lu Ya’s mountain-top cottage.

Flying over the top of the mountain, Xu Ke, along with Li Fan, jumped down eagerly and rushed inside.

“Brother Lu Ya!”

Xu Ke excitedly opened the door, but was surprised to find that, other than Lu Ya, there was another person inside.

The man had a lean face and white eyebrows and beard.

A feeling of natural might came from him, making Xu Ke’s body tense.

The white-bearded elder and Lu Ya only glanced at Xu Ke who had burst in abruptly, then continued their unfinished conversation.

Not minding Xu Ke’s presence, the white-bearded elder said, “Since I promised him, let’s do as he requested.”

“Even though he forced us into this, it may not be entirely a bad thing.”

Lu Ya looked somewhat surprised, “Senior, what did you see?”

The white-bearded elder didn’t answer, but instead asked with a smile, “Lu Ya, do you believe what Mr. Bai said?”

Lu Ya fell silent suddenly.

The white-bearded elder shook his head, “Everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes, admitting one’s mistake is not something to be ashamed of.”

But Lu Ya stated bluntly, “I only believe what I see.”

“Often, what you see may not be the truth.” The white-bearded elder sighed softly.

But it seemed he also knew Lu Ya’s determined nature wouldn’t be easily swayed.

So, he didn’t dwell on the topic, and instead said, “The Great Calamity is coming, and our Beast Taming Sect may not escape it.”

“But in this hopeless situation, I see a glimmer of hope.”

“This glimmer of hope is related to Mr. Bai’s mission. And it’s also related to this young lad.”

The gaze of the white-bearded elder landed on Xu Ke, who was still frozen in bewilderment.

“Him?” Lu Ya turned to look at Xu Ke, looking confused.

“It’s indeed him.” The white-bearded elder nodded.

Lu Ya shrugged, “Senior, even though you are known as the [All-Knowing] Samou, the wise beast that has knowledge of everything under the heaven and earth, if you say that the only hope of the Beast Taming Sect rests on this kid…”

“It is indeed too bizarre.”

“Anyway, I don’t believe that.”

The Samou didn’t dispute it, but just laughed, “Who dares to say they can fully understand the River of Fate? The so-called [All-Knowing] is just a misunderstanding by others about me.”

“However…”

The Samou paused, “This kid barged in today and has a mysterious connection with Mr. Bai and you.”

“This made me believe in my judgment even more.”

“After all, I only believe in what I see.”

The smile on Samou’s face disappeared suddenly, and he became deadly serious.

Seeing this, Lu Ya could only give a slight nod.

“Since there is still some time before Mr. Bai…”

“Before his task, it should be enough for this kid to grow.”

“However, what about those troublemakers in the sect?”

“Are we just going to ignore them?”

“Our Beast Taming Sect is still standing, for now, right?”

Lu Ya frowned with discontent in his voice.

“Let those who want to leave, leave.” There was no anger in the Samou’s voice.

“With the advent of the Great Calamity, every additional disciple we shelter costs us more efforts.”

“Taking this opportunity to downsize might not be a bad thing.”
