A reddish hue was turning within Dynn's eyes.
The power of the Forbidden Heavenly Dao was deducing the system within Lin Tarlie.
'This is the same feeling as the previous system. But what kind of system remains to be unearthed.'
'Hmm.. Should I raise him as my treasure-hunting rat? Or just kill him and devour his system? Well, that depends on the system, to be honest.'
"Cousin?", Tarlie was a bit off balance at this point, 'Which cousin is this?'
"Tarlie! Don't be rude. This is your cousin from the Gu family, Young master Gu", Tarlie's mother, Moon, came to him quickly to smooth things out.
Although she had her own trump cards, she didn't want to fall out with such a person at that moment.
You have to know, that the reputation of the Gu family is beyond terrifying.
Although disgusted by the Gu family, Tarlie also wasn't stupid, he knew what to do.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, cousin Gu. But why are all of you here?" Tarlie said in a not-so-humble way.
"Oh, I'm here to check up on my Aunt. She's been having a hard time all these years", Dynn sighed with regret.
Tarlie was suspicious and thoughtful for a moment. But, this has indeed been the case. Not to mention, she's just a 'mortal' woman, its been hard for her to bring up the little Tarlie for so many years.
"Please, no need to trouble Young Master to care about us. We are fine in this humble abode", although Moon felt something was fishy, she couldn't put her finger. Yet, she chose to respect her late husband's decision and stay away from the Gu family.
"That won't do! Pelly."
Pelly came from behind and threw a void ring to Moon.
Moon said with some weirdness, "Young master, I cannot open a void ring as I'm not a cultivator."
Dynn said with a profound look as if he had really forgotten, "Ah look, how silly of me".
He had been observing this pristine lady all this time.
Not only was she beautiful, but her luck was mind-blowing as well. She was definitely not who she looked to be.
That's right! This is the template of Daughter of Destiny!
Although a little surprised by the development, it wasn't unacceptable. Yes, most parents of protagonists are simply used as revenge tools, a villain somewhere in time kills the parents after the protagonist grows up, and he goes to avenge them.
In fact, there are cases where the protagonist's parents are also protagonists.
Hmm.. her husband should be having his power-up ark at this moment. He will come back in the future to provide Tarlie with an invincible background.
While talking, Dynn directly opened the void ring to put out all the content inside on the ground.
A pile of spirit stones started piling up. At least 5,000!
All top-grade!
This equals to 5,000,000 low-grade spirit stones!
This scene startled Tarlie.
Holy shit! So many spirit stones! Haha, I'm fucking rich!
'Could it be that this guy really a good guy?', Tarlie was shaken.
"This...", Moon was also doubting whether Dynn had come just to give them compensation and hesitation crept in.
But in that case, what should she do? It would be a disservice to her husband if she chose to accept this alm. But if she didn't...
There is also Tarlie. He also needs resources if he wants to further his cultivation...
Then, she became firm.
'For Tarlie's future.'
"Thank you for your generosity, young master Gu", Moon slightly bowed to show her gratitude as it was normal in their culture.
'Hehe... money can buy happiness...'
'Tch. She must have had it hard carrying all that weight on her shoulders. I should help her lessen some. Hehe...'
"No, this is what is owed. After all, we're all 'family'", Dynn said with a sunny smile. He had a bit of extra emphasis on the word 'family'.
Just then.
[Ding! Host, don't phase out, quickly check these people! They are really powerful, they should have some good things we can intercept!]
Tarlie was stunned and they got excited. He had been preoccupied with thinking these people had barged in with some ill motives, and thus he forgot to check the opportunities of these people.
'Check it!'
[Ding! Checking in progress... Analyzing individual...]
[Name: Gu Dynn]
[Affiliation: Gu Family Young Master]
[Age: 21]
[Cultivation: ??]
[Luck rank: ??]
[Future Opportunities: ...]
[Error! Undefined variable detected... Re-trying analysis: attempt 1...]
[Error! Undefined variable detected... Re-trying analysis: attempt 2...]
[Urgent Alert! System has encountered a higher entity intrusion. Halting analysis immediately!]
[Urgent Alert! System will be hibernating for an unknown period for self-preservation. Host, please stay safe in this period!]
[System shutting down.]
While Moon and Dynn were having some small talk, Tarlie stood there completely befuddled.
'WTF! System? SYSTEM!'
'Hey respond!? Are you there, system? What happened?'
'WTH is a higher entity intrusion?'
Tarlie's eyes became red, he hadn't felt this amount of panic even when he first got transmigrated.
His eyes traced on the back of Dynn.
'Who the fuck is this guy?! Even making a system afraid of him? No no, he's dangerous, too dangerous!'
Thinking of this, his back was already covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.
He was sure. This guy was a dreadful being.
Moon noticed her son's weird behavior and frowned.
'Why is he acting so out of it?'
"Tarlie?.... Tarlie!"
"Ye... yes mother?"
"Go buy some spirit rice from the market. I'll make lunch for the young master."
"Huh?"
"What huh? Have you gone dumb?"
"N... No, I'm going!"
Saying this Tarlie ran as fast as the wind. He was truly scared, he wanted to go far far away from Dynn at this moment.
'What has happened to this boy now?', perplexed, Moon thought to herself. But she didn't entertain that thought anymore.
"Young master, please stay for lunch at our humble place. This is the least I can do to show our appreciation for your grace", Moon had the demeanor of a mature and well-educated lady. She wanted to use this opportunity to ease the relationship with the Gu family.
Although her husband hadn't explained to her clearly what had happened between him and the Gu family, it was surely not a good thing as he was kicked out unceremoniously.
She had to think about Tarlie's future. She didn't want the Gu family to target Tarlie for the past grudges.
Although nothing happened all these years as if they were forgotten, she wasn't stupid to think that the Gu family would Tarlie grow stronger with the hatred between them. After all, the Gu family's reputation spread far and wide.
"Ah, then I'll have to trouble Lady Moon to 'take care of me'", Dynn said with an ambiguous smile.
Dynn wasn't a saint, not in his previous life, and definitely wouldn't be one in this one.
When you have money and power in hand, why bother taking a roundabout route if you can achieve something with efficiency?
And he was sure of his conjecture, this lady wasn't a simple one.
She probably had a secret background. This comes from the hypothesis that a living parent of the protagonist should definitely have some invincible plot twist later on.
While walking they came to the kitchen.
All the guards were told to stay outside. Only Dynn and Pelly were there with Moon while she resumed cooking.
...
...
...
'Hehe. Spying on me? But that system is pretty quick to act as well. Just a little bit more and I could have forcibly controlled it.'
Dynn had already felt the system trying to spy on his future as early as when Tarlie was communicating with the system.
'A system that has the ability to spy on the future. Hmm... we can cross out many system in that case.'
'Interesting'
Dynn has the Forbidden Dao God Physique which is an autonomous Heavenly Dao in itself.
So this time, when the system tried to use the strings of fate to deduce his future, it saw a sight it would never forget.
A sea as far as the eyes can see, red mists wafting around, and a giant figure in the sky with a majestic black robe on, his presence was awe-inspiring.
Only his board back can be seen.
Just then, the figure looked back.
And... Then the system felt as if it was watched by an entity that could wipe out its existence with a mere thought.
The system was so terrified it ran, ran back on the river of time as fast as it could, it even wished it had a million legs, even though it was a system with a formless body.
Then it decisively shut itself down. It could feel that that existence could even influence fate and destiny.
Dynn was lost in thought as he took in the protruding thick ass of Lady Moon, as countless cunning ideas flashed by in his mind.
His motive was always the same, maximizing profits!
'Well then... let's start with you... After all, my cousin, Tarlie probably misses his father, hehe.'
