《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 116: Running Away
Advertisement
It only lasted for a moment, but Lin Xiao could feel that his mind feel refreshed. He felt as if his goal was getting slightly clearer than before.
The Qi in the air moved towards him, creating faint ripples around him. The distance was not that wide, but it was more than enough to provide Lin Xiao an upgrade in his abilities. Despite the person himself didn't really sense it because he was deeply immersed in his mind, faint changes occurred in his body.
The people around him were startled. They were pushed awake from their daydream and looked around before locking their eyes on Lin Xiao. Astonishment flashed within their eyes.
"This…" Lin Yun wanted to drag his brother away, but he knew that enlightenment was something very rare for cultivators. If he messed his brother's chance, he would be making his brother suffer.
"Wait a bit more."
Wenren Yu raised his guard and watched the others. The place where Lin Xiao got his enlightenment was very… unsuitable. In this place where there were so many people around, just a slight disturbance was more than enough to pull him back from his current state.
He had to be very careful.
Thankfully, Lin Xiao himself didn't stay that long. This was his first time getting into enlightenment and even though it was only for a few seconds, the benefit was much more than what people could get from working for years.
As Lin Xiao opened his eyes, he could see that there were many pairs of eyes were looking in his direction.
"Eh?"
"Brother, let's go."
With just one glance, Lin Xiao could tell that he had disrupted the performance. Without saying anything, he immediately initiated Moon Evasion and appeared at the empty alley several meters away. Lin Yun and Wenren Yu appeared beside him not long afterwards.

"B*stard! What the hell was that?!"
"He disrupted the Qi! Ah, I was having good time listening!"
"Where's that troublemaker? Let me beat him up!"
The people was caught to reality and began to yell. As for the culprit, he had already used Moon Evasion and ran away once more with the other two followed behind him. They all passed a look at Lin Xiao, feeling that no matter where Lin Xiao went, there would be trouble that follow.
Thankfully, Lin Xiao didn't really make that much commotion. Even though they were annoyed that there were some people who were creating ruckus during the performance, they were not that petty to chase after them. Besides, they were only tagging along to watch while those at the front were not necessarily disturbed.
Lin Xiao and the rest were not staying at the front after all.
"This is the first time I know that music can help someone gain enlightenment," the young man at the front pondered when the music finally stopped.
Sui Wenyan plastered a smile on her face. Internally, she was murdering Lin Xiao countless times because of his action. There was no way she could contribute for any kind of enlightenment with her current ability. It must have been because of some other reasons.
She would never believe that she was capable of something like that.
"Young Master Du must be joking. This one didn't have that much capability," Sui Wenyan kept the smile on her face as she answered.
Du Family had several youngsters with two of them standing at the forefront with their immense talent. The third young master, who was usually called as Young Master Du since the others paled in comparison. The other one was the Fourth Miss of Du Family, who was not present at this time.

She was a proud woman and didn't like the Street Performance. As for the reason… it was because there were so many people who looked prettier than her. For a young girl like her, comparison in beauty was very annoying.
Prince Lin Kai looked at the direction where Lin Xiao ran away. He had sensed the slight fluctuation but didn't care about it that much. It was only after the music was over did he heard the discussion of the people below.
Someone got enlightenment just from hearing music?
Did their path somehow have relation with music?
Enlightenment was so rare that if it was possible, everyone wished to be able to get it. Only selected few would be able to get enlightenment in their life and even many powerful cultivators would never be able to have one in their entire life. it all simply related on their own luck.
"Shall I send people to tail them, Your Highness?" Young Master Du asked.
Prince Lin Kai waved his hand. He looked at the Street Performance in front of him. "Rather than that insignificant ant, I'm more interested with this group in front of me that can induce enlightenment."
Sui Wenyan's lips twitched. She wanted to find Lin Xiao and beat the brat until there was nothing left. Couldn't he pick other times to gain enlightenment and not now? He was simply putting trouble on her neck.
"Is there anything we could do for you, Your Highness?" the leader asked hesitantly.
Prince Lin Kai smiled but didn't immediately answer.
Young Master Du looked at his father but the latter simply nodded, leaving the prince to do whatever he wanted. While the position of the Crown Prince was still unclear, it was still their decision to follow after Prince Lin Kai.
They should start to show their support.
…
Meanwhile.
Swish!
Running away, the three of them finally stopped before a quiet street. After using Moon Evasion for several times without break, they now stopped and raised their guard in fear that someone might chase them.
"I don't think there's any."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Lin Xiao heaved a sigh feeling relieved that there was no one who followed them. Thinking about being chased continuously made Lin Xiao wanted to cry. In his entire life, he had been chased by numerous beasts and now, would human also start to go after his life?
"That's good."
Smack!

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)
