Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming was struck dumb, his body jolted violently, his eyes widened, and they instantly became bloodshot. The expectation and confusion that had been on his face were replaced by overwhelming rage.

"What?! The Xiao family... they are so heartless and inhumane!" Xiao Ming's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to vent all the hatred in his heart through his voice.

"My parents treated them well, how could they be so cruel, colluding with foreign tribes for their own selfish desires and killing my parents! I will make them pay the price, they must pay for their blood debt!"

Xiao Ming's body trembled slightly uncontrollably, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood. Yet he felt no pain, his heart filled with hatred and anger towards the Xiao family.

Li Xuan asked calmly, "Do you want revenge?"

Xiao Ming took a breath, "Yes, senior, I want revenge!"

Li Xuan hummed in agreement and didn't hide anything. "Your luck is indeed unusual. You might be destined to be a lone star. Haven't you noticed?"

"You are indeed as Xiao Zhan said."

Recalling Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Ming's face showed disbelief. "Senior, how... how is this possible!"

When Xiao Ming heard Li Xuan mention that he might be destined to be a lone star, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions, which plunged him into extreme confusion and bewilderment.

"Senior, the concept of destiny has always been vague and ethereal. I... I've always considered it nonsense!" Xiao Ming's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He simply couldn't believe that his life would be controlled by such a terrible fate.

However, when he calmed down and carefully recalled his past experiences, he couldn't help but feel a chill creeping down his spine.

Xiao Ming lost both his parents at a young age.

In his hazy memory, his parents were both extremely kind people who loved him dearly and were devoted to their family.

But these two good people suddenly died tragically when he was still young and ignorant.

At that time, he did not understand what death meant. He only knew that he would never see his loving parents again. Every night, he could only hold the only keepsake left to him by his parents—a warm jade pendant—and cry alone in the empty room.

Later, Xiao Ming was taken in by an elder in his family and continued to live in that small courtyard.

That elder took good care of him, though not as much as his parents, but at least he had a place to shelter him from the wind and rain.

However, a few years later, that elder was also attacked by a powerful monster during a training trip and ultimately did not return.

Xiao Ming clearly remembers that when he learned the news, he felt as if the whole world had collapsed. The pain of losing a loved one again was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.

Later, Xiao Ming's life in the family became increasingly difficult. Most of his peers in the family avoided him, as if he carried some ominous thing.

Only a handful of friends were willing to play with him, but strangely enough, those friends, after spending some time with him, became more friendly.

He would always inexplicably encounter some minor misfortunes, either falling ill and being bedridden, or going into a state of demonic possession while cultivating. Although he survived in the end, he gradually became estranged from him because of this.

One by one, the unfortunate events that had befallen those who had once been close to him resurfaced in Xiao Ming's mind like a nightmare.

At this moment, he had to admit that his life seemed to be shrouded in an invisible misfortune, and this misfortune was so consistent with the "lone star" fate that Li Xuan had mentioned. How could he accept this?
And Uncle Zhong...

Xiao Ming felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

"Senior, is this...is this true? My sister..."

Xiao Ming asked with difficulty.

Li Xuan took a sip of tea. "Your sister might be even tougher than you."

"Huh?" Xiao Ming looked surprised.

Xiao Ming's eyes widened, his face filled with even greater surprise. He never expected Li Xuan to say such a thing.

"Senior, what do you mean by that? My sister Xiao Yue... how is she so resilient? Does she have some special ability like me?"

Xiao Ming asked anxiously, feeling both worried about the unknown situation his sister might face and curious about Li Xuan's words about "having a tough fate".

Li Xuan put down his teacup, raised his head slightly, looked at Xiao Ming with deep eyes, and slowly said, "When I first met your sister, I sensed that there seemed to be something else going on inside her."

“She harbors a soul within her, and this soul is extremely powerful, its aura so vast that it is no ordinary being. However, that soul seems to be in a state of slumber or sealing, and has not yet fully revealed itself. That’s why I say she might be even more extraordinary than you.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming gasped in shock, deeply moved.

He never imagined that his usually obedient and adorable sister, who always followed him around calling him "brother," would harbor such a secret.

"Senior, will my sister be in danger? Will this soul inside her cause her any harm?"

Xiao Ming asked anxiously, his mind filled with worry for his sister, having temporarily forgotten about his so-called cursed fate.

Li Xuan told him to calm down, "It's alright, that soul won't harm her."

Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; he trusted Senior Li!
Xiao Ming nodded slightly. Although he was still worried, he understood that Li Xuan's words made sense.

Just as he was immersed in thinking about his sister's condition, Li Xuan suddenly changed the subject.

“Xiao Ming, since you are so eager for revenge, I will give you a chance to try. Go back to the Xiao family first and see if you can destroy the Xiao family with your special luck.”

Li Xuan looked at Xiao Ming calmly, but there was a faint expectation in his eyes, as if he wanted to see just how far Xiao Ming could go.

Xiao Ming thought for a moment and nodded, "Thank you for telling me everything, senior. Alright, I must return to the Xiao family and personally destroy it!"

Xiao Ming still had some doubts in his mind. Was he really a cursed lone star?
"You don't believe in your destiny?"

Li Xuan asked with a smile.

Xiao Ming nodded, scratching his head. "Senior, the fate of being a 'lone star' sounds too awful. Besides, if I really am a 'lone star,' wouldn't that mean I'll never have any friends or family again?"

Xiao Ming was very worried about this.

Li Xuan asked in surprise, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Xiao Ming was taken aback. Good, a good thing?

Is being a lone star a good thing?
Xiao Ming scratched his head again. How could he not believe this was a good thing?
"If you are truly a jinx, then this could be a powerful weapon."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "At that time, you don't need to worry about your relatives. On the contrary, you can get close to your enemies and then kill them. They won't even know it was you who did it."

"If all else fails, treat your enemies as family and friends, and join some of the opposing sects, tsk tsk."

Li Xuan looked at the stunned Xiao Ming and said, "This is truly killing someone without them even realizing it!"
