After Lin Xiao left, Zhao Da and his group of four booked two new rooms.

One room was occupied by Zhao Da and Poposha, while the other room was occupied by Uther and Erwin.

As for Lin Xiao, he returned to his residence with Zhuge Duo and the others.

When Lin Xiao opened the door, he found Zhuge Duo waiting for him inside.

"You're finally back! I have something important to tell you!"

Seeing Zhuge Duo's serious expression, Lin Xiao waved to close the door behind him, sat down in his chair, and asked Zhuge Duo:

"What's the rush?"

Zhuge Duo quickly replied:

"Lin Xiao, it seems like we're being targeted!"

"Hmm?" Lin Xiao frowned upon hearing Zhuge Duo's words, signaling Zhuge Duo to continue.

"The person targeting us is none other than my mortal enemy, Sima Yuan, whom I told you about before!"

"Just now, he changed me, Sheng, and Xun. The karma between the three of us inevitably leads us into conflict with an extremely arrogant and conceited SSS-level survivor!"

"Lin Xiao, he's coming for me!"

"Since his causal innate abilities cannot affect you, he has instead focused on influencing those around you!"

"It seems that because I'm on your side, he's started hating you too!"

After hearing Zhuge Duo's words, Lin Xiao had only one question in his mind:

"Ahem, what exactly happened between you two that made you mortal enemies?"

This was a question that Lin Xiao had always had in his heart.

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's question, Zhuge Duo hesitated for a moment before replying:

"Actually, the feud between our two families dates back thousands of years!"

"You can tell from our names that we are from the Zhuge family and the Sima family respectively in history."

"Lin Xiao, you should be aware of the specifics of this hatred. It is because of this matter that this hatred has persisted for thousands of years to this day!"

"But in our generation, our clan has produced a unique female descendant, while they have produced a young master!"

At this point, Zhuge Duo looked somewhat disappointed, while Lin Xiao looked at Zhuge Duo and said:

"I'm afraid that the only female descendant is yourself. Although it's said that men and women are equal, in ancient families like yours, men still have a slight advantage, right?"

Zhuge Duo nodded silently.

"And what happened after that?" Lin Xiao asked after a moment of silence.

"After a period of silence between our two families, the open and covert struggles began again, and then it continued until we suddenly appeared in the world of mist."

"As for Sima Yuan, he was taught from childhood to surpass me in everything."

"Perhaps his family pressured him too much, causing him to become somewhat mentally unstable!"

"And the idea of ​​surpassing me has become a complete inner demon for him."

After listening to Zhuge Duo's words, Lin Xiao gently tapped the table with his fingertips.

Then Lin Xiao suddenly asked:

"Then, why did you approach me?"

Lin Xiao's sudden question startled Zhuge Duo, who then hesitated for a moment, as if wondering whether she should answer.

But Zhuge Duo remembered what Lin Xiao had told her before he left, and now the scales in her heart, which belonged to Lin Xiao, were slowly sinking for some reason.

Zhuge Duo hesitated before slowly speaking:

"Actually, when I was at the first level, I used my Destiny Talent to see my original destiny."

"My fate was originally that I would die at the hands of Sima Yuan no matter what; in my observation at the time, this fate was almost predetermined!"

"No matter who I sided with or with other survivors, I would still die before advancing to Tier 4!"

"But my fate, which was originally destined to end in death, changed completely the moment you turned your gaze upon me!"

"It all became a complete mess; this was the first time my fate changed."

"So, at that time, I made up my mind to hold on tightly to this powerful figure."

Zhuge Duo glanced at Lin Xiao discreetly after saying this, then stopped and continued her story.

Lin Xiao tapped the table, but the Leaf of Judgment in his hand showed no abnormality.

In other words, everything Zhuge Duo just said is absolutely true.

Zhuge Duo really had no reason to lie to Lin Xiao.

As Lin Xiao's fingertips touched the table, Zhuge Duo gradually became more and more anxious.

She secretly activated her destiny once again, taking a look at her future fate.

Discover that your future is constantly shifting between the observable and the unobservable.

Seeing that Lin Xiao remained silent, Zhuge Duo gritted her teeth and took something out of her system inventory:

"Lin Xiao, no matter what you think, I'm still going to stick close to you. After all, I still want to live. There are so many beautiful places in the world I haven't seen yet!"

"So, these are the things I bought from the spiritual merchant. Take a look and see if you need them!"

As she spoke, Zhuge Duo handed Lin Xiao something that looked like a scroll.

[Faction Establishment Scroll (Intermediate), Tier 4: Allows you to build a faction similar to a game guild, with its own chat channel, free teleportation between faction members' territories, and independent faction-specific space where members can build safe houses.]

[Faction members are strictly prohibited from attacking the leader. Faction members may leave the faction; upon leaving, the member and their territory will simultaneously revert to their original territory.]

[At the intermediate level, establishing a faction scroll allows you to select an additional faction skill, and every member can benefit from this skill's buff.]

"This is……"

Lin Xiao subconsciously took it and looked at the scroll depicting the establishment of this power.

At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered: "If I remember correctly, the twin brothers from before also established their power in Wood Soul City."

"According to intelligence, it seems he used this thing to establish a force that belonged only to him!"

Lin Xiao focused his attention on the message in the middle:

"Absolutely forbidding attacks on leaders? That's some good news."

"However... there are still many loopholes that can be exploited."

"For example, I might not attack the leader directly, but I could lure a stronger enemy into the leader's territory!"

Lin Xiao held the scroll, pondered for a moment, and decided to put it aside for the time being.

Even if he really wanted to build his own power, he shouldn't have used something so flawed.

"Perhaps we should deconstruct this scroll and then reassemble it?"
