Luo Yirui has a Sensitive physique. In his perception, among this group of children, only Nie Kaihuan succeeded in creating a Spiritual Talisman, but every time he saw Hou Baiyu, there was always a strange feeling.
That’s what his mother said as well. Now, Little Fatty is so certain, it seems Hou Baiyu must have used some method that makes him look like he’s only one step away from success, similar to his own situation.
If it were before, Luo Yirui would never have thought of such a thing, but since it happened to him, it naturally occurred to him to think this way.
Isn’t it said that Hou Baiyu is not biologically related to the Hou Family? This method is highly complex and consumes Original Essence Qi Spirit. According to Little Fatty, Hou Baiyu isn’t here as a hostage, so why not specially train the family’s own elite?
There is a big difference between family systems and school systems.
In some large schools, there are many factions. The school’s foundation is unclear, but those in power don’t necessarily appear in just one faction. So, if a genius appears within the school, they will certainly be heavily cultivated.
This is very different from the family system, where emphasis is usually placed on cultivating direct descendants, while those from collateral lines rarely produce exceptional geniuses. Even if they do, they either get buried during their growth, suppressed by those in power, or taken into the direct line.
If the Hou Family were not operating under a family system, this behavior could be understood, but it definitely is a family system. The phrase "not biologically related" suggests Hou Baiyu is probably not even collateral.
Luo Yirui couldn’t tell if the intricacies of the Ancient Family were too complex or if there was something wrong with his way of thinking, but he couldn’t figure it out.
Although he still didn’t know what was special about Hou Baiyu, it didn’t stop the two little ones from taking action.
Little Fatty and Luo Yirui agreed to prepare for a nighttime castle exploration!
They had been at the castle for four days already. During the day, they could wander around boldly, but given the castle’s size, it was quite normal for there to be hidden places. Discovering anything would naturally be a bonus.
The proposal to do this actually came from Little Fatty’s accidental discovery of Hou Baiyu sneaking around the castle at night. Hou Baiyu wouldn’t do something pointless, there must be a purpose to it.
Luo Yirui looked at the somewhat excited expression on Little Fatty’s face and sighed quietly; it was all because of Hou Baiyu again.
Little Fatty, of course, also invited Jing Yuansi, but Jing Yuansi stated she didn’t want to go with them, citing her reason: she’s afraid of the dark!
Alright, she won with that reason.
Even though this is the private territory of the Nie Family, the castle gates still close at night, so the two little ones kept discussing how to enter from the outside.
There was no choice; leaving through the door was impossible. Not only could Luo Yirui not get out, neither could Little Fatty. The adults were far too vigilant!
So they could only climb out through the windows and then find a way to enter the castle from the inside.
In the dimness of the night, Little Fatty once again came to Luo Yirui’s room. The two of them lay by the window, looking up.
"Do you see that window? That’s a hot water room. If we can get there, we can smoothly enter the castle." Luo Yirui pointed at a small window several windows away from him.
Adults couldn’t fit through that small window; only kids their size could, although it might be a bit troublesome for Little Fatty.
The small window is also on the second floor. Moving over parallel is feasible as long as they overcome their fear of heights and don’t make any mistakes midway. While Luo Yirui was still considering finding a rope, Little Fatty had already taken the lead and climbed out.
