"Well, no matter. So what will you do?"

Yuqing asked her husband, although they can’t be sure about the nature of Neo, she still wants to know her husband’s decision.

Under normal circumstances, her husband would have already killed such a person, but he has stayed silent till now.

"Chance.."

"Hmm?"

"I shall give that boy a chance."

Jiayi continued, looking into the distance. He could tell by looking at the boy’s eyes that he would be a lord and a lord with great potential; if he were evil by nature, it wouldn’t have mattered.

But since there is a chance that there is goodness in his heart, he will give this talented boy a chance.

He has thirteen years to change, otherwise he will die with his hands. After all, humanity doesn’t need such a dangerous variable.

In the Deep Void, the strength of a race is very important, although all human lords fall under the rule of different higher beings. Under normal circumstances, a race will always be united.

This is the only way for a race to fight for opportunity in the Deep Void, and if a figure like Neo rises, then this may lead to the downfall of the human race.

He, as one of the pillars of humanity, doesn’t want to see such things, as it is his duty to remove such unnecessary factors.

"Hmm~"

Yuqing just hummed, although she is the leader of the family during family time, she still has great trust in her husband’s judgment in serious times.

And just like that, one decision of Neo changed the trajectory of fate for Neo.

The next day, Neo woke up as he went down to pick up the mail. The wooden sword he had ordered yesterday had arrived.

There were also medicines necessary for physical training, enough for him to use for a year. Now with this, he won’t have to worry about money for this entire month.

Going to the back alley behind the orphanage, he started his training; he didn’t want to give Yulan any chance of meeting him.

Since he didn’t have a job today, he spent the entire day either training or studying.

In the park, Yulan had arrived early in the morning. Yesterday, she had seen Neo’s word practice, so she was sure he trained in the morning.

So she appeared here early to surprise him; she couldn’t wait to see the reaction on his face when he saw her.

Thus, with anticipation in her heart, she sat on a bench and waited. The morning passed, but Neo didn’t appear.

She took a nutrition solution and gulped it down, feeling a little frustrated. It seems her thoughts were wrong.

He didn’t come to train in the morning, but she isn’t the one to give up so easily, so she waited. Hours passed as the sun slowly started to disappear on the horizon, and the entire day had passed as it was evening.

Various people had come and gone through the park throughout the day, but the one she was waiting for didn’t appear.

She understood that he was avoiding her, and thinking about this, she couldn’t help but pout. She also felt a little hurt in her heart.

Was she so unlikable that he was avoiding her like the plague? Yesterday, he ignored her, and today, he didn’t dare come to the park because of her.

Frustration gripped her heart as she couldn’t help but cry.

"Menie, Menie, Menie.."

She shouted as she ran back toward her home without looking back. Now she just wants to go back home and complain.

"Just you wait, I won’t lose so easily."

She shouted, but due to her crying, her words didn’t sound intimidating but more pitiful.

On Neo’s side, he stretched his body as he felt a little relaxed, seeing that Yulan didn’t come to find him a burden from his back was removed.

And since he didn’t have any other business to do today, he could finally enjoy a relaxing sleep.

So with hope for a new day, he closed his eyes as he naturally fell into a slumber. Other children around him were noisy, but he had already gotten used to it.

Seeing his sleeping face, the other children wanted to play a prank, but remembering Neo’s cold eyes, they didn’t dare do so.

Just like that, the night passed as Neo’s natural clock woke him up the next morning. He opened his eyes, feeling a little groggy as he lifted his upper body.

Through his half-closed eyes, he saw a cute girl looking at him with a smile. Her hair was tied into a bun as she wore a bluish princess dress.

His eyes widened as he wondered if he was in a dream, his maintained cold gaze also broke as he pinched himself.

Feeling the pain, he understood that he wasn’t dreaming and Yulan was truly staring at him first thing in the morning.

He quickly maintained his expression and emotion as his cold gaze returned. He didn’t know how to respond in this situation so he just stared at her silently.

On Yulan’s side, after going home, she used her family resources to find Neo’s location, and after finding out that he was living in an orphanage joined that orphanage.

Her parents wanted to object, but seeing her puppy’s crying eyes, they couldn’t bring themselves to say no to her.

Plus, the fact that they will be busy for a few years made them consider her idea. So with that done she quickly moved to that orphanage that very day.

After asking her sister the time when Neo wakes up, she set an alarm one hour earlier than that and entered the boy’s room.

Normally, it isn’t allowed, but she can buy herself a little privilege using money. Just because she isn’t spoiled doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know how to use money to get an advantage.

After all, she is a genius of the Mu family, someone who was born with knowledge. Although with her mortal body, she can’t awaken the talents she inherited from her parents now but it still affected her in some ways.

So with anticipation of seeing Neo’s expression, she waited for him to wake up, seeing his sleeping figure, she felt that his face didn’t suit those cold eyes.

After a while, he woke up as he noticed her figure. Seeing his reaction, she couldn’t help but smile, but she controlled her laughter.

Even the cold eyes he kept broke due to surprise, and she finally saw his face without them. She felt that he looked a hundred times better with these eyes than those cold, icy eyes.

But these eyes, containing some warmth, were quickly replaced by those cold eyes, making her feel a little dissatisfied in her heart.

Both of them stared at each other in silence, it was as if the one who talks first looses. Neo was confused due to the appearance of Yulan.

But knowing that getting along with her will be a troublesome endeavor, he just ignored her, acting like she didn’t exist.

He stood up and started to follow his normal morning routine, seeing this, Yulan could help but pout as she shouted.

"Hey, don’t ignore this lady."

But Neo didn’t react; he felt that since Yulan was just a child, if he continued to do so, she might lose interest and leave.

"Hump!!"

"Let’s see how long you can ignore me."

"Just so you know, I am going to live in this orphanage from now on."

Yulan commented as she folded her hands, looking arrogant as if she had won this game. Hearing her words made Neo release a sigh as he knew he couldn’t continue to ignore her.

"What do you want, miss? Can you like me alone?"

Neo said, appearing a little helpless, but Yulan, looking at his eyes, could see that he was just acting like this.

"Your name."

Yulan said.

"My name..."

Neo muttered, if he told his name, she would most likely leave him alone, but for some reason, he didn’t want to give her his name.

Although it was his childish thought, he felt like he would lose if he gave her his name, so he remained silent.

"You wish."

After saying that, he ignored her one more time as he moved toward the bathroom, making sure that she couldn’t follow him.

"Youuuuu!!"

Yulan shouted as he punched the air in front of her. She felt like she had been played. Although his tone was flat, she felt that she was being made fun of.

"Haaa, Calm down, Yulan, you have the advantage."

"I just need to know his name to win this game. There is no way I would lose."

She quickly psyched herself up as she regained her composure; there was no way she would lose this game.

And just like that, a game between the two started a game that decided the trajectory of their life.
