Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 3 Lin Dong is "targeted"
After walking for a while, Lin Dong heard the sound of gurgling water and quickened his pace to the edge of the stream.

After a quick wash, Lin Dong took out a short blade with a scabbard, which was a relic left to him by Huo Yun'er called the White Tiger Dagger.

He could feel that this thing seemed not just a simple dagger.

Then he broke off a three-foot-long branch from a nearby tree, sharpened it with the White Tiger Dagger, and walked towards the stream with it.

A gray-brown light flashed in his eyes, and the fish in the stream instantly slowed down in his eyes. Soon, more than a dozen black carp were lying on the shore.

After simply preparing the ingredients, Lin Dong started a bonfire and prepared to start grilling the fish.

After a while, a special fragrance permeated Lin Dong's nose. Looking at the slightly golden herring, he couldn't help but smile bitterly after being hungry for a day:
"I didn't expect that with the 'help' of the Duchess, my cooking skills have improved a lot."

"Wow, it smells so good!"

A scream startled Lin Dong, and he instantly grabbed the White Tiger Dagger with one hand and immediately condensed his soul power in the palm of his other hand, ready to deal with the next emergency.

Then I looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people walking along the stream.

On the left is a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, dressed in a light pink outfit. Following behind her is a boy with short dark blue hair, who looks quite elegant.

Seeing that the two had no ill intentions, Lin Dong’s grey eyes temporarily returned to normal, and he asked cautiously, “Are you okay?”

The girl didn't seem to notice his distance, she ran up to him in two steps and asked with a smile:
"Hello little brother, my name is Tang Ya, do you want to sell this grilled fish?"

Looking at the somewhat familiar girl in front of him, Lin Dong frowned and said calmly: "One Silver Soul Coin for one."

Tang Ya didn't pay attention to his tone, and said to the boy behind her with a smile: "Beibei, give us the money, we'll buy two."

The young man nodded helplessly, took out two silver soul coins from his purse, walked up to Lin Dong and handed them to him, smiling:
"Don't mind me, Xiaoya is a bit outgoing and has a good heart. My name is Beibei."

Seeing how kind he was, the vigilance in Lin Dong's eyes dissipated a little, and he smiled faintly: "It's okay, my name is Lin Dong."

However, the girl who was eating the grilled fish without caring about her image seemed a little unhappy. She stammered with the fish in her mouth, "What did you call me?"

The boy immediately raised his hands in pretending to surrender, and said with a helpless smile: "Okay, okay, Teacher Xiaoya, are you satisfied?"

Tang Ya rolled her eyes at him and said incoherently, "That's better. You should pay attention to your identity."

Lin Dong looked at the two people in front of him and thought to himself:

These two people don't seem to have any bad intentions and are so generous. They must be rich kids who are out for some experience.

Seeing that the two of them finished eating quickly, Lin Dong looked at them and smiled kindly: "Do you want to eat more? This time I can give you a discount, one silver soul coin for two strips."

Tang Ya and Bei Bei were stunned for a moment, then Tang Ya smiled and nodded:
"Okay, this grilled fish is so delicious, and you even gave us a discount, so why wouldn't we buy it?"

As he said this, he glanced at Beibei, who immediately smiled and handed over a Gintama coin.

Seeing how easy they were to talk to, Lin Dong was certain that they were just rich kids who came out to gain experience and had no bad intentions.

Then he took the Silver Soul Coin, looked at the two of them and said with a smile:

"There's still a lot here. If you want to eat more, you don't have to pay. I can't eat much by myself."

Tang Ya smiled with some surprise after hearing this and said, "Really? You are so nice, Lin Dong. I won't be polite then."

After saying that, she reached out to a grilled fish. Seeing this, Bei Bei beside her patted her hand lovingly and reminded her softly:

"What are you doing? Didn't you see that Lin Dong hasn't eaten yet?" Tang Ya finally reacted and smiled awkwardly, pouting her lips and saying, "I didn't mean it. I'm sorry, Lin Dong, you eat first."

Seeing how naive they were, Lin Dong didn't hesitate to nod and smiled, then picked up a grilled fish and started eating.

The grilled fish, which was not much to begin with, was eaten up by the three of them in a short while. After cleaning up the food briefly, Lin Dong stood up:
"Beibei, Tangya, I'll leave first."

"This is the Star Forest. Are you sure you want to go deep into here alone?"

Hearing the concern in his words, Lin Dong smiled kindly:

"Thank you for your concern, but I have my own plans, so I'm leaving now."

After saying this, he turned and left under Tang Ya's somewhat surprised gaze, and set out alone to look for the spirit ring.

At this time, seeing that Lin Dong had soul power, Tang Ya, who had ill intentions towards him, was instigating Bei Bei. The brief tug-of-war between the two ended with Bei Bei's defeat.

A smile appeared on Tang Ya's face: "So, you agree?"

Bei Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Great Tang Sect Master Xiao Ya, I have never forgotten that your ambition is to strengthen the Tang Sect, so of course we must recruit suitable people.

He looks quite calm and steady, and judging by the clothes he wears, his family background isn't too good either. Our Tang Sect can only accept disciples like him."

Bei Bei is reliable after all. He is much more pragmatic than Tang Ya, who blindly worships the hidden weapons of the God King and clings to the Xuantian Gong.

Judging from the Tang Clan's current state of decline, its fate is probably not much better than that of the three Huang family ghosts. It's good enough that they have someone joining, so how can they be picky?

After simply washing their hands, the two of them followed the route Lin Dong had taken. After all, Tang Men was really hungry now, and they couldn't let him get away like that.

Not long after Lin Dong walked away, he felt two familiar auras approaching him rapidly. He frowned and guessed:
Why are these two kids chasing me?
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to stop and ask. Seeing the two people approaching quickly from behind, he turned around and asked:
"You are chasing me, what's the matter?"

As if she had not expected that Lin Dong, who was so young, could have such a keen sense, Tang Ya could not help but ask:

“Lin Dong, how did you sense us? Could it be that your martial spirit is of spiritual nature?”

Lin Dong hummed, then asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Beibei and the other looked at each other, and Tang Ya spoke first:

"Is there anyone else in your family besides you?"

After hearing this, Lin Dong looked at her with some doubt, but still shook his head: "No."

"That's great!" Tang Ya couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Dong took a half step back instantly, with a flash of anger in his eyes. Before he could get angry, Bei Bei patted Tang Ya on the head:
"What did you say!"

Tang Ya finally reacted and stuck out her tongue as she looked at Lin Dong:
"I'm sorry, Lin Dong. I'm an orphan too. I didn't mean to poke your wound."

Lin Dong's face was filled with black lines. This girl's emotional intelligence was really terribly low. Then the corner of his mouth twitched:
"It's okay. Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll leave first."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Tang Ya gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and said anxiously:

"Don't be anxious, Lin Dong, do you want to join our Tang Sect?"
