The boy hesitated for a moment upon seeing this, then jogged over to face Yi Shuihan, giving her a look that said, "If you don't give me any, you're a bad person."

Decisively ignore it and change location again.

The scene repeated itself, but the speed increased dramatically. Yi Shuihan kept turning around, while the boy kept running in front of him. If observed from an ordinary person's perspective, the two of them were moving in a blur, reaching an incredible speed.

"Want some?"

With only the fish head left, Yi Shuihan finally stopped.

The boy nodded vigorously. Just when he thought Yi Shuihan would give him the fish head, Yi Shuihan took a bite of the fish head and left only a skeleton after a few bites.

“I’m not Tang Sanzang, so I don’t have to give you food just because you want it. This is to teach you a lesson: if you want something, in addition to asking for it, you also need to find out why others should give it to you.”

Yi Shuihan spoke seriously to the boy who was glaring at him fiercely, a look of smug satisfaction on his face.

"Where did this wild kid come from? He's not bad! Maybe we can learn some information about this world through him."

Being able to keep up with Yi Shuihan's previous speed, although this speed was not fast in Yi Shuihan's eyes, it was still very amazing compared to ordinary people, which shows that he was definitely extraordinary.

Chapter 727, The Little Foodie is a Leo

"Young man, I have a question for you. If you can answer it correctly, I'll treat you to grilled fish later."

"Is it the kind you just ate? Don't lie to me."

Clearly, the grilled fish had piqued the interest of the boy in front of Yi Shuihan, who looked to be about 10 years old. His eyes shone as he looked at Yi Shuihan.

"Where did this glutton come from!"

Yi Shuihan felt a little embarrassed seeing this and inwardly looked down on this little foodie.

In fact, you can't entirely blame others. Who is Yi Shuihan? Although it's just an ordinary grilled fish, with his skill in controlling the fire and the extraordinary seasonings, it becomes a top-notch feast that most people can't resist.

"Don't worry, I didn't even consider that kind of grilled fish a threat. I promised to treat you to it, and I definitely won't go back on my word."

He acted nonchalantly, showing no remorse whatsoever for not even letting the other person see him before.

"Okay, go ahead and ask!"

He's just a kid, so naive. He believed me so easily. Oh well, I'll treat him to a meal later.

The young man in front of Yi Shuihan had no idea that Yi Shuihan's initial plan was to delay after asking all the questions, since no one had specified when to invite him—maybe hundreds of years from now! He would wait until Yi Shuihan remembered.

"Well then, I'll begin. First, where is this place?"

"This is... um... my brother said it's Mount Lu."

"Mount Lu??"

"What's your name? What are you doing here?"

"I am Aiolia. I came here to train with my brother. We are going to become Athena's Saints."

Aiolia, Mount Lu, Athena's Saint Seiya?

When these three words converge, if Yi Shuihan still can't understand what this world is, then he's a fool. Speaking of which, there is still one skill in his skill list that belongs to the future Leo Gold Saint in front of him.

"I never expected to end up here. But for now, I have to be careful! This world is home to gods. The weakest of the God Warriors is at the Silver level, and I don't know if the strongest, Zeus, is at the peak of Silver or at the Gold level."

Touching his chin, Yi Shuihan carefully considered the situation and realized that as long as he didn't cause trouble, there was no danger. It was clearly a peaceful time, and Aiolia hadn't even officially become the Leo Saint yet.

"Big brother, what's your name? You told me not to talk to strangers, but now that I know your name, you're not a stranger anymore."

"Um, I am Yi Shuihan."

Looking at the adorable, tiger-headed Aiolia, Yi Shuihan was momentarily bewildered. This way of thinking, this logic, was beyond simple explanation.

"Are you one of the Nine Shepherds like Master Tong Hu?"

"That's it!"

The reason it is considered so is because, fundamentally, it does not belong to the country of this land, but in a broader sense it is considered so.

It was only then that Yi Shuihan noticed that Aiolia was speaking Chinese. But upon closer reflection, he realized that since Tong Hu was a member of the Nine Shepherds and this place belonged to the Nine Shepherds, it was normal for him to speak Chinese. For these reserve Saints, learning a language was not difficult.

"Brother Yi, are you here for tourism?"

"No, I was just wandering around. Coming here was accidental, but I'll probably stay here for a while."

"Great! Does that mean I can eat delicious grilled fish more often from now on? The food at Teacher Tonghu's place is really terrible."

Aiolia laughed happily as he spoke.

"You're treating me like a long-term meal ticket?"

Yi Shuihan was speechless, but he once again felt Aiolia's naivety.

"Oh no, I have to hurry back. I forgot I went to get medicine for my brother."

Suddenly, Aiolia screamed and ran off in one direction before even Yi Shuihan could pay attention.

"Medicine? It should be wound medicine!"

Yi Shuihan followed Aiolia at a leisurely pace.

When Yi Shuihan was a child, he really liked the Saint Seiya profession because it was so cool. However, the profession is not so good. Becoming a Saint Seiya means a hellish training process. Injuries and even death are common occurrences. Even if you are only a Bronze Saint, you have to walk on the edge of death countless times to become one. This profession is really not made for ordinary people.

Besides, very few Saint Seiya warriors live to die of old age. Most die in battle in their teens or twenties, and those who live past thirty are extremely rare. Moreover, they fight for Athena while alive, and suffer torture from Hades after death, which is simply cruel.

"Grandpa Li, please get me a bottle of wound medicine."

Before they even arrived at their destination, Aiolia started shouting at the top of his lungs.

Grandpa Li, whom Aiolia mentioned, was also a Jiumu person, or rather, a local from Lushan. He was probably in his fifties, with gray hair, but he looked quite energetic. He was just an ordinary person, hired by Tong Hu to look after the medicine.

"Here you go. If it's not enough, come back here for more."

The elderly man surnamed Li skillfully took a small bottle from the room, handed it to Aiolia, and asked with a smile, clearly used to such things.

"Thank you, Grandpa Li."

Aiolia replied politely.

"Who is this……?"

At this moment, the old man surnamed Li noticed Yi Shuihan following behind Aiolia, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes. Because this area had become a training ground for Saint Seiya, there were generally no outsiders. Yi Shuihan was obviously an exception.

"Hello, I am Yi Shuihan. I came here by chance and thought the scenery was nice. I will be staying here for a while."

Although he was actually older than the other person, Yi Shuihan did not pretend to be an elder and frankly stated his plans.

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words, the old man surnamed Li showed a hint of embarrassment.

"What's wrong? Is this private property where outsiders aren't allowed to live?"

"No! It's just because of some special reasons..."

The elderly man surnamed Li paused, somewhat hesitant, unsure whether he should tell Yi Shuihan about the Saint Seiya.

"If you mean that the training of Saint Seiya might affect me, then don't worry, I don't care."

Chapter 728, I Don't Live in a Cave

"You know Saint Seiya?"

Looking at Yi Shuihan in surprise, the old man surnamed Li knew that the matter of Saint Seiya was not something that ordinary people could know.

"That's right, isn't Aiolia training here to become a Saint Seiya?"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely become a Saint Seiya."

Aiolia shouted from the side.

"Grandpa Li, do you still have a place to stay? Brother Yi doesn't have a place to stay either! There's no room left for us."

"You don't need to worry about where I live. If you want to find me in the future, just look for me next to that waterfall."

Even though Yi Shuihan is currently in a weakened state, finding a place to live is easily solved; he has quite a few places in his personal space that he can use immediately.

"You want to stay near the waterfall? We often train there, it's very noisy."

The main issue is that there's simply nowhere to stay there, okay?

"It's alright, it won't bother me. You can't come looking for me tonight, can you?"

Yes, we still need to set up a soundproof formation.

The old man surnamed Li listened to the conversation between the two with a strange expression. He knew how ferocious these little monsters were when they were trained, and the rumbling sound could be heard from a distance. Moreover, he really couldn't think of any place where people could live near the waterfall.

“That’s true! We won’t be going there tonight either. Okay, I’ll come help you dig the tunnel after training.”

Aiolia suddenly realized, "Wait, what's with digging a cave?"

"Don't underestimate me because I'm small. I'm incredibly strong. I can smash a rock bigger than me with one punch. I can make a cave for you so you can live there."

"boom!"

Yi Shuihan slapped Aiolia on the head with his backhand, making a crisp sound.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me?"

The puzzled look in Aiolia's eyes made Yi Shuihan want to send her to kindergarten to learn some common sense.

"Who said I was going to live in a cave? I'm not a savage! Besides, you're the one who lives in a cave!"

"But if you don't live in a cave, where will you live?"

"You'll find out where I live when the time comes."

With a blank expression, he gave a reply. Before Aiolia could ask anything else, Yi Shuihan gave him a look and said, "If you ask again, you won't get to eat fish."

Aiolia, decisive as ever, quieted down.

"That's settled then. From now on, we'll be neighbors. Please take good care of me."

The elderly man surnamed Li nodded blankly, then watched Yi Shuihan and Aiolia leave.

Upon arriving at the training ground of the future Gold Saints, one sees a group of handsome young men, each with a face score of over 90, shirtless, each punching a rock several times their own size.

Despite being only elementary school students, their strength far surpasses that of adults. The weaker ones can leave a fist-sized dent on a boulder with a single punch, while the stronger ones can smash their hands into it. If their arms weren't too short, they might even pierce right through it.

"Brother, here's your wound medicine."

Aiolia walked up to a boy who was slightly older than him, a look of concern on his face.

Compared to Aiolia, Aiolos, as the older brother, looked much more mature. His face was resolute, and one hand was covered with scars, which were simply wrapped with gauze.

"You're back? Why did it take you so long?"

Aiolos looked at his brother with a very gentle gaze.

"When I went out just now, I saw Brother Du Yi eating grilled fish, so..."

He didn't say anything more; Aiolia just scratched his head, while Aiolos had already guessed what would happen next.

Aiolos glanced helplessly at Aiolia, then stood up and looked at Yi Shuihan with a scrutinizing gaze. Unlike his brother, his first thought was about Yi Shuihan's identity.

"He must be the Brother Yi my brother mentioned. He looks like an ordinary person. How did he end up here? This area has been sealed off. Did he accidentally break in?"

The others in the training ground also noticed Yi Shuihan, an outsider, and stopped their training to look over.

Not far away, Tong Hu, looking like a decrepit old man, sat cross-legged on a large rock. Only when he saw everyone had stopped did he open his tightly closed eyes.

"Continue, or you won't get to eat dinner tonight."

"Young man, come over here and let's talk."

The first sentence was addressed to the future gold diggers, while the second sentence was addressed to Yi Shuihan.

"It's impossible."

Yi Shuihan nodded to Aiolos, then walked towards Tong Hu.

"Brother Yi, will nothing bad happen? Will Master Tong Hu kick him out?"

Aiolia said with some concern.

"Are you very concerned about him?"

"Brother, his grilled fish is really delicious. I can tell just by the smell."

"Go train on your own if you have the energy. If you still can't develop your sixth sense by today, see how I deal with you."

Those who can come to Dohko for training are all elite seeds of the Saint Seiya, and their talents are naturally not bad. The weakest of them have all sensed the Cosmo, and the strongest, such as Aiolos, Saga and Shaka, have already stepped into the Sixth Sense. They would be more than capable of being Bronze.

Aiolia is neither bad nor strong among these people, and he has not yet reached the sixth sense.

Aiolia obediently went to break the stone, while Aiolos applied medicine to himself while keeping an eye on Yi Shuihan's direction. Having just entered the mid-stage of the Sixth Sense today, he could hear a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz from a distance of several hundred meters.
