HUALA!
A mysterious power suddenly descended upon the area.
Lin Mu felt it immediately—a strange, invisible force connecting him and Meng Bai. Though he could not see it, he could sense it, like an unseen thread linking their fates together.
'Is this… Karma?' Lin Mu wondered.
The thread lingered momentarily before fading from perception, but Lin Mu knew it was still there, binding master and disciple in a bond that could not easily be severed.
He exhaled deeply, feeling the weight of responsibility settle onto his shoulders. A week ago, he would have never thought he would be taking in a disciple. Fate was unpredictable, constantly shifting the tides of one's life.
Regardless of what the future held, Lin Mu knew one thing: there was no use resisting fate. He could only walk forward, step by step, on the path that lay ahead.
Unknown to Lin Mu, however, taking in a disciple had far-reaching implications that neither he nor even Xukong could fully realize.
