This was a very reasonable statement.
Normally, that would be the case, but at this moment, Mr. Zhuge spoke, "He has the Heavenly Eye."
"..."
After a moment of thought, Dongfang Bai continued, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
The Heavenly Eye!
The Heavenly Eye!
Dongfang Bai stared at Lin Xiao, his heart churning like a stormy sea! Did such a person truly exist in this world?
A young man in his early twenties, not only a future God-level master but also possessing the Heavenly Eye?
Anyone with the Heavenly Eye could reach the divine realm in the art of Qimen!
Mr. Zhuge also possessed the Heavenly Eye, and Zhuge Lan had it too.
However, even within this lineage of Zhuge, within Mr. Zhuge's inherited family, the Heavenly Eye only appeared once every hundred years! Such individuals, truly born for the art of Qimen, were extremely rare.
Who would have thought Lin Xiao also had it?
No wonder Lin Xiao could see the universe within the 'Mindscape' so clearly and remain unharmed!
Envy, immense envy!
Dongfang Bai now regretted being a bodyguard here with Lin Xiao.
Before long, his own mindset would change.
He had already resigned himself to his fate, thinking that at his age, with no potential left, it was natural that he couldn't enter the God Realm. He could be an old man enjoying retirement, doing odd jobs for Dragon Country, which was fine.
But now, this kid Lin Xiao, how was he becoming more and more monstrous?
"Senior?"
Lin Xiao was observing Dongfang Bai, feeling that the latter was a bit dazed. What was going on?
Had he accidentally entered the Eight Trigram Formation?
Lin Xiao lowered his voice and asked Mr. Zhuge, "Mr. Zhuge, Senior Dongfang, he... he won't be in trouble, will he? Did he accidentally enter the Eight Trigram Formation?"
"No, he's just spacing out."
Mr. Zhuge naturally knew Dongfang Bai's current state, but he had no intention of pointing it out. Often, a person's destination is determined from birth.
It's just that most people don't reach their destination, while some come very close.
It's rare to find even one person in the world who can get close to their destination, let alone reach it.
So, sometimes, talent doesn't seem to be a significant limitation.
But only when one reaches this level can they truly understand how much of an impact talent has.
The Heavenly Eye is a marker of whether a Qimen術士 can reach the divine realm or walk to the end of their path.
Without the Heavenly Eye, no matter how astonishing a Qimen術士's talent appears, it will be but a fleeting flash.
Only Lin Xiao, with the Heavenly Eye, could inherit the mantle of a Qimen術士.
Fortunately, Zhuge Lan also has the Heavenly Eye, otherwise, Mr. Zhuge would indeed feel a sense of pity.
"Senior?"
Lin Xiao called out again.
At this moment, Dongfang Bai took out his phone and dialed Zhao Yuanchao. "Hello, Zhao Yuanchao. I want to go home and retire. See if you can contact Gu Qianfan now. My heart isn't feeling too well."
Lin Xiao stood by, feeling somewhat helpless.
"It's my heart that's uncomfortable, not that I have heart disease!"
"What? You're saying Lin Xiao is now the best doctor in Dragon Country? And you want me to see him?" Dongfang Bai's voice rose by a notch. He glanced at Lin Xiao, then clutched his chest. "No, my heart feels even worse now!"
