Xing Lian does have plans.
　　His current body was devoid of any cultivation, and without the replenishment of aura, his Yuan Shen power would always run out, and because he was carrying power he shouldn't have, his physical body would also fail and die prematurely.
　　He didn't want to let Heaven's Way have its way.
　　Therefore, he had to return his cultivation to his prime as soon as possible, and since the human realm's aura was ponderous and unfavorable for cultivation, the best way to do so was to return to the cultivation realm.
　　Besides, he didn't know if the old rivals had recovered as much as he had, and it wasn't safe to stay in the human realm.
　　According to the memories of his previous life, in a few days, the Immortal Gate would open, and then those who had the will to cultivate Immortality would be able to break through the Immortal Gate and go to the Cultivation Realm. At that time, Xing Lian would also be able to mix into the cultivation world just like before.
　　Turns out he miscalculated.
　　Since he didn't even think Tang Leshan would still be looking for him, Xing Lian didn't even use a simple blindfold and left with a beautiful face. He hadn't walked in the human realm for too many years and had forgotten how gossipy mortals were. Such a beautiful boy could be remembered by anyone who saw him.
　　So Tang Leshan didn't have to work very hard to find someone in a broken temple on the outskirts of the city.
　　*
　　All the other vagabonds in the broken temple had been chased away by Xing Lian using charms, and when Tang Leshan arrived with his men, he was first relieved to see Xing Lian sitting alone in the broken temple, and didn't ponder why he couldn't see anyone else.
　　"Finally, I've found you." Tang Leshan adjusted his expression and walked with slow steps to Xing Lian and crouched down.
　　"Why didn't you say anything when you went out?" Tang Leshan tried to be as gentle as possible, "Hungry? I brought you buns."
　　As the words fell, the household servants rushed forward, those who placed the table, those who set up the food box, the sumptuous breakfast was quickly set up.
　　Xing Lian was puzzled, his leaving without saying goodbye, not just all the good intentions of Tang Leshan, but also to help Tang Leshan to get rid of his own trouble, they should not owe each other, why Tang Leshan still pestered him not to let go?
　　Is it about the money?
　　"Mr. Tang," Xing Lian said stiffly without moving, "I'll pay you back the silver."
　　As long as he returned to the Cultivation Realm, casually getting something that wasn't available in the human realm would be enough to benefit Tang Leshan.
　　"I'm not asking you to pay back the money." Tang Leshan sat at the table and personally handed Xing Lian chopsticks, "I'm worried about you. You're a kid going out and you don't have any money on you, what if you're abducted?"
　　Tang Leshan felt that he had been careless.
　　Xing Lian's departure was unexpected but reasonable.
　　To Xing Lian, he was after all a stranger na! He was justifiably wary.
　　Plus he understands Xing Lian.
　　Tang Leshan remembers that when he finally realized that no one in the world cared about him, he simply went into self-exile, skipping classes and fighting to get by since elementary school; teachers couldn't control him, and his parents beating him and scolding him just made him more of a jerk.
　　Until he met Uncle Wen.
　　His bond with his family didn't last long; an accident left him without his parents and brother, and Uncle Wink, as the leader of the rescue team from that accident, adopted him.
　　At that time, he was hostile to the whole world, so he negatively thought that Uncle Wen, a middle-aged brown man, must not have good intentions when he adopted him. Either he wanted to use him or harm him. So he refused Uncle Wen's help again and again, and ran away from home again and again.
　　What did Uncle Wink do to him?
　　"Mr. Tang," Xing Lian spoke out indifferently, interrupting Tang Leshan's train of thought, "I'm grateful for saving your life, but I won't return to the Tang Mansion with you. I'll pay you back the money, please, in the future, don't interfere with me."
　　"......," choked Tanglewood.
　　The wind and water had turned, and he finally realized how Uncle Wen felt back then.
　　Before he could open his mouth, the electronic voice of the system sounded abruptly:
　　[Please ask the host to try to persuade the villain to return to the Tang Mansion.]
　　This was in line with Tang Leshan's goal, Tang Leshan smoothly accepted the offer and said bitterly, "I'm not trying to interfere with you, nor am I trying to get you to pay back the money. You see, you are still young, and you don't have any skills, alone, what do you rely on to make a living? In this case, you should stay at the Tang residence and think about what you want to do in the future, and learn while you're young. When you have the ability to get a foothold outside, you can leave anytime you want, I won't stop you."
　　Rewind a few years, Tang Leshan by no means have such a good patience, only after Uncle Wen left, he began to be on his own, only gradually grinding into the current temper.
　　"There's no need for Mr. Tang to say more," Xing Lian insisted, "Please go back, my life and death has nothing to do with Mr. Tang."
　　Tanglewood: "......"
　　It looks like it can't be coaxed.
　　Uncle Wen wasn't all tolerant and forbearing towards Tang Leshan, and when it was time to educate, he did so. Thus, Tang Leshan also decided to take out the authority of an adult.
　　"Xing Lian," he curtailed his laughter and said in a serious tone, "You're not getting along with yourself. I know you want to be free and no longer be bound by people. But you're too young now, what about being cheated? What if you encounter difficulties? I'm not trying to figure you out or anything, I just want you to be good."
　　I don't know which sentence stimulated Xing Lian, but just after Tang Leshan finished speaking, Xing Lian's jewel-like eyes abruptly turned toward him.
　　Tang Leshan thought that Xing Lian had loosened up and was just about to speak when Xing Lian's long eyelashes dropped, once again restraining his luster.
　　And this time, Xing Lian simply went cold turkey and ignored him.
　　This soft and hard attitude made Tang Leshan a bit uptight as well, and as he looked at Xing Lian, seeing that Xing Lian indeed refused to listen to persuasion, he simply picked up his chopsticks and ate on his own.
　　After tossing and turning all morning, he was hungry.
　　"Anyway, just so you know, since I took you, I'm responsible for you."
　　Tang Leshan ate the dunked soup dumplings, chewing as he said, "You want to experience life, then I'll accompany you to experience it, and when you've experienced enough, when you'll return to the Tang Mansion with me."
　　With that, he rearranged the dishes for Xing Lian and urged, "Eat, you're growing, you must eat breakfast."
　　Xing Lian still had that thunderous look.
　　Of course he wouldn't take Tang Leshan's words seriously.
　　How in the world could anyone simply be nice to him.
　　In his last life he had suffered the kindness of two men, one who had been kind to him because he wanted to gouge out his eyes and take him to make elixir, and the other, who had also been kind to him, and later approached him, but wanted him dead.
　　Ruthlessness rolled through Xing Lian's heart, Tang Leshan was bound to have something in mind when he pestered himself like this.
　　Just what exactly was the figure, Xing Lian didn't want to know.
　　*
　　Tang Leshan guessed that Xing Lian was somewhat capable, so he was able to run away from the Tang Mansion easily. He would have to personally watch over this one, and couldn't let anyone go missing again.
　　Throughout the day, Xing Lian ignored him, and he didn't open his mouth easily, excessive obstruction and defense would only backfire, it would be better to accompany him silently, so that the child is clear that there is always a way back.
　　It's a good thing Xing Lian didn't kick him out.
　　Donaldson took this as a good sign.
　　He planned that when Xing Lian's attitude loosened up, he would take the child to enjoy some of the beauty of the earth, a life of ease and relaxation, and once he experienced it, he wouldn't be repulsed.
　　At night, Xing Lian stayed at the broken temple. Tang Leshan instructed Xiaotao to send someone to fetch bedding.
　　"What's your son's suffering," Xiaotao said to Liu Bo outside the temple, "Little Duke Xing doesn't know what's good for him, and our son has to suffer along with him."
　　"Little Peach, be careful what you say." Liu Bo softly said, "We will do as the Duke commands. You quickly return to the mansion, there is no need for you to serve here."
　　Tang Leshan didn't know what his subordinates were talking about, he just lay down a few feet away from Xing Lian and waited for Xing Lian to lie down before he closed his eyes.
　　But he didn't sleep either, instead he raised his guard and listened for Xing Lian's movements. Outside the temple, it was a group of house guards that he had brought with him, taking turns to change guards at night, making sure that all the exits of the broken temple were guarded at all times.
　　He didn't believe Xing Lian could still run.
　　In the quiet, the electronic voice in Tang Leshan's head sounded again:
　　[Ding! Points +1]
　　I'll have to save up every penny again.
　　Tang Leshan smiled to himself in the darkness.
　　It's all worth it, he thought.
　　This life of his was originally picked up. If he could pick up another Xing Lian, he would be considered to have earned it.
　　I just don't know how the brothers are doing.
　　Is everyone safe?
　　That foodie Pomeranian he had, did anyone set him up?
　　In the midst of his rambling thoughts, Tang Leshan fell asleep without realizing it.
　　It was a very deep sleep, and Tang Leshan didn't dream much before dawn.
　　Tang Leshan opened his eyes and the first thing he did was to look at Xing Lian.
　　The result was aglance that made him sit up.
　　Xing Lian's sleeping bunk was empty, the man was gone!
　　"Come on man!"
　　Tang Leshan shouted in a deep voice, and the household servants at the door were busy running in.
　　"Duke."
　　"Have you guys seen Little Lord Xing?" Tang Leshan asked hurriedly.
　　The houseguests looked at each other and shook their heads in bewilderment.
　　Liu Bo entered the door one step slower and questioned for Tang Leshan, "Didn't I tell you to take turns guarding? Where is everyone?"
　　"We watched it!"
　　"Yeah, we didn't sleep!"
　　"Your Excellency, we really didn't go AWOL!"
　　Tanglewood: "......"
　　What the hell, a big living person, did it evaporate into thin air?
