Chapter 1153: 1153: His Special Trait

The Little Fatty didn’t really intend to deceive Luo Yirui; after much persuasion, he finally obtained Luo Yirui’s forgiveness, paying a high price in unequal agreements. Once Luo Yirui was satisfied, he didn’t blame the Little Fatty anymore. In truth, what he said wasn’t wrong. The actions of the Hou Family and the Fu Family were bound to be extremely secretive, and it was already quite difficult to gather this much information.

Finally having two allies, the Little Fatty was overjoyed. After contemplating for a long time, he said, "If we act on our own to resolve this crisis, it will be too difficult. We’d be better off riding on the Hou and Fu Families’ coattails. They must have had plans before they came, and they’re just waiting for this moment, making it the most reliable approach."

And also the easiest to shine!

The Little Fatty didn’t voice this latter part; using the pretext of resolving the crisis was naturally good, but if he used the excuse of shining, he was afraid Luo Yirui would lose interest.

Luo Yirui did not expose him either, and after some thought said, "To resolve this crisis, we must keep the Nie Family too busy to cause trouble externally. But I think even if we destroy this castle, the Nie Family probably won’t be too distressed."

It’s not so easy to pin down the Nie Family. If it were, the Ancient Families wouldn’t be aware it’s a trap but still choose to stay here with people as hostages.

The Little Fatty said, "Which is why I suggested following in the Hou Family’s footsteps. They must have figured out a way to weaken the Nie Family, otherwise, they wouldn’t have moved Hou Baiyu!"

Luo Yirui had already noticed Hou Baiyu’s special status among the Ancient Family disciples several times, and upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but ask, "Why use him as a barometer? By rights, isn’t Nie Kaihuan more of a genius?"

The Little Fatty snorted disdainfully, "Nie Kaihuan? That’s just the result of the Nie Family rushing matters. No one knows exactly how, but in the past, Nie Kaihuan didn’t have such talent, he wasn’t even as good as me. Then, he suddenly succeeded in Spiritual Pointing and Formation Talisman. At the time, no one believed it, until the Ancient Families’ biennial convention, where he shone brightly, and his reputation spread."

Luo Yirui didn’t expect such a story. Nie Kaihuan’s past talent could only be considered decent? Then how did he successfully achieve Spiritual Pointing and Formation Talisman at such a young age? Does the Nie Family have a way to change a person’s talent?

He was somewhat dazed. This was too incredible; he understood how important one’s talent was, comparable to individuals with special physiques, as if they had some cheat code.

If the Nie Family truly had such means, they would surely be significantly fostering talent, already starting to encroach on various powers... Thinking of this, a thought struck him: isn’t the Nie Family currently encroaching on various powers? Otherwise, how did they end up in such a situation?

If the Nie Family really had a way to change a person’s talent, it must be incredibly difficult, considering there’s only one super genius, Nie Kaihuan, for now.

Luo Yirui knew he couldn’t analyze much with his limited experience in these matters. He could only tell his mother, who, if informed, would likely be able to deduce much important information from this.

"So what exactly is special about Hou Baiyu?" Luo Yirui asked once more.

The Little Fatty was puzzled for a moment. Scratching his head, he replied, "He has already achieved Spiritual Pointing and Formation Talisman!"

Previously, he spoke with a guessing tone, but now that they were allied, there were some things he had to tell Luo Yirui.

Upon hearing the Little Fatty’s firm words, Luo Yirui wasn’t surprised. He always found Hou Baiyu’s spirit somewhat peculiar, could it be that he used a similar method?
