Seeing Bai Xiaosheng with a deeply apprehensive look, unwilling to say much, Mu Jinyu, although quite curious about what he saw in that corner of the future, knew better than to ask too many questions.
After all, the heavenly chanism should not be leaked—this saying is indeed true. Those who casually reveal heavenly secrets often et dire ends.
Severe cases lead to imdiate death upon speaking, while minor ones result in paralysis, barely surviving.
Even those who rarely leak heavenly secrets, their later years aren't much better, generally eting unfortunate ends.
Mu Jinyu did not imdiately agree to Bai Xiaosheng's request.
Because he wasn't quite sure what Bai Xiaosheng's true intentions were.
Was he genuinely looking to join the Dragon King Hall, or was he trying to infiltrate them internally, then collapse the Dragon King Hall from within?
Thinking about it, Bai Xiaosheng likely wasn't foolish enough to have such thoughts, right?
And upon considering the help from a group of divine calculators, Mu Jinyu felt a bit tempted.
Then, Mu Jinyu turned to Bai Xiaosheng, suddenly with a doubt, and asked, "Huh, you people from the Omniscient, I've only seen Li Yaotong and you so far, where are the others?"
He's t quite a few people from other organizations, but as for the Omniscient, he's only encountered Bai Xiaosheng and Li Yaotong.
Or perhaps it could be said that before eting Bai Xiaosheng, he only knew that Omniscient was active but didn't know who else was involved.
Bai Xiaosheng let out a bitter laugh and said, "We are few in Omniscient. After all, not everyone can peer into the heavenly chanism..."
Pausing for a mont, he added, "Aside from , there are only two others in Omniscient left, or rather, two children."
"That's so pitiful?" Mu Jinyu was quite surprised by his words.
At the sa ti, sowhat doubtful about the truthfulness of his words.
After all, an organization ranked among the top ten globally only having three mbers, two of whom are re children?
No matter how you put it, it doesn't make much sense, right?
"Yes, I am not deceiving Dragon Master..."
Seeing the doubt in Mu Jinyu's eyes, Bai Xiaosheng explained, "Before the Spiritual Energy Revival, we actually had around a dozen people, but many couldn't bear seeing various calamities manifest, wished to warn others, and in the end..."
At the end, he didn't speak directly, but his tone was full of regret and helplessness.
It was clear what happened to them—they mostly ended up dead...
Mu Jinyu sighed slightly, never expecting that after discovering Omniscient was stirring trouble secretly all along, the organization he had always wanted to eradicate would fall to such a fate.
"Eh, sothing's not right..."
Mu Jinyu suddenly felt that things were not adding up, frowned at Bai Xiaosheng, and said, "Given all of this, why is it you can keep stirring trouble without incident?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, his smile sowhat bleak, responding, "Do I really look like I'm without incident to the Dragon Master?!"
Hearing this, Mu Jinyu looked at Bai Xiaosheng, observing his extrely ugly face and frail body unable to move itself, only sitting on that large stone...
Thinking it over, it indeed doesn't look like the appearance of soone without incident.
So it turns out Bai Xiaosheng previously claid his ugly state was due to an accident that nearly killed him as a result of leaking heavenly secrets, barely surviving but becoming like this.
After seeing Mu Jinyu understand his aning, Bai Xiaosheng further explained, "I've beco like this and yet didn't die, which is considered very lucky. Of course, this is also because I've been using others to act and haven't personally got involved..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu recalled Bai Xiaosheng's interactions with the Withered Wood Taoist and Amalia.
Indeed, in Bai Xiaosheng's contact with them, there's no ntion of the future; he rely points out a few critical areas, sharing what seems like secrets to so but is not truly secret, guiding them to act.
In this process, Bai Xiaosheng doesn't leak the heavenly chanism nor get involved, rely takes on a guiding role at most.
Therefore, his backlash suffered was significantly less.
But he wouldn't be entirely exempt from backlash.
His grotesquely ugly appearance may be due to continuous guiding in secret, suffering slight backlash over ti, accumulating from small acts to beco this grotesque transformation.
Thinking it over, Mu Jinyu made a decision, asking, "What about the other two children from Omniscient?"
Hearing Mu Jinyu's inquiry, a hint of joy unveiled in Bai Xiaosheng's eyes, realizing Mu Jinyu's intention with these words, that is, to accept Omniscient.
However, the premise was to first see the two children.
"Alright, Dragon Master, follow , I'll take you to et them." Bai Xiaosheng said.
Finishing, the Profound Stone Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure beneath him emitted a profound light, and the blurry shadow clone then reappeared before Mu Jinyu.
Afterward, Bai Xiaosheng led Mu Jinyu to a nearby city, stopping before a villa.
"Knock, knock, knock."
He rhythmically knocked several tis on the door.
During this process, Mu Jinyu used his Divine Sense to scan the villa, seeing its interior and layout but without seeing any trace of people.
This hidden formation was strikingly similar to those in Shennongjia, arousing Mu Jinyu's curiosity.
"Creak."
Soon, the door opened, revealing two children around their teens.
One of them was a girl, who appeared very frail, in a thin red dress, her eyes gray as she looked ahead without any ripple, only desolation.
This is a blind girl.
The other child was a boy.
He looked even worse, not only lacking a right arm but appeared excited upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng, exclaiming 'Abba, Abba' non-stop.
Turns out, not only disabled but also mute.
Are these the only remaining mbers of the Omniscient?
Bai Xiaosheng greeted the two children and subsequently said to them, "This is the Dragon King Hall's Dragon King, call him Uncle Dragon King..."
"Hello, Uncle Dragon King..."
The girl in the red dress, hearing this, remained calm, for she couldn't see Mu Jinyu but still politely greeted him.
anwhile, the little boy looked at Mu Jinyu with surprise and admiration and then continued exclaiming 'Abba Abba' crazily.
"Hello, you two..."
Mu Jinyu also greeted them.
After they finished greeting Mu Jinyu, Bai Xiaosheng explained to him, "Dragon Master, despite their disabilities, they have thus received heavenly favor, able to peer into heavenly chanisms, making them excellent candidates..."
"I don't judge by appearance." Mu Jinyu nodded.
Mu Jinyu looked at them carefully again, feeling that children of this age joining the Dragon King Hall is certainly beneficial, enhancing its strength without the concern that constantly cos with Bai Xiaosheng's presence needing extra attention.
Bai Xiaosheng, seeing no objection from Mu Jinyu, said to the two children, "From now on, Omniscient will be rged into the Dragon King Hall. Do you have any thoughts?"
Mu Jinyu was sowhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaosheng seed quite respectful, not making decisions for them because he's the Observatory Master and they're just children.
He wanted to see their opinions.
"Joining the Dragon King Hall?" The girl in the red dress was surprised upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng's words, then thought about it, saying, "I don't mind."
The little boy with a missing arm nodded frantically, saying, "Abba Abba Abba..."
Then, seemingly worried Mu Jinyu wouldn't understand, he gazed at him with adoration, gesturing with his hands.
Although Mu Jinyu didn't understand these gestures, he could roughly guess the little boy's aning, surely expressing his willingness...
