Surviving a Tribulation Failure and Collecting Disciples in the Mortal World

Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...

Chapter 133 Applying What You've Learned

He said he seemed to have forgotten something, and it turned out to be that "monkey." Shang Lin couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temples. Could it be that he's getting old and not remembering things well?!

Well, at the time I was so focused on Qiu Niang's reincarnation that I couldn't think of anything else. But since I forgot, they didn't say anything either. They were really... so in sync.

However, once they entered the house, Shang Lin asked, "What's wrong with it now? Didn't you say it was trapped by the God-King?"

"Yes, the Divine Lord is sleepy, but I'm still in charge." After saying that, Hu Tangdi asked with a worried look, "What just happened? Did they run into a robber?"

"I don't know. As soon as I turned the corner, they pounced on me."

Hu Tangdi immediately started nagging, "I told you I had to pick up the sect leader tonight, otherwise who knows what kind of people we'd run into? No, they might not even be human. Sect leader, you were just too careless. I'll pick you up starting tomorrow night."

Before Shang Lin could say anything, "Old Man Chai" said, "I'll take it; it'll be easier to explain to outsiders."

Hu Tangdi immediately retorted, "I can become invisible." Someone recovering from an injury should act like they are recovering from an injury.

Shang Lin said, both amused and exasperated, "Stop arguing. If you need me, have the little snake pick me up. You can keep an eye on the 'monkey' for a while longer; I'm tired and want to rest today."

Hu Tangdi hurriedly asked, "Sect Leader, where's your schoolbag? Don't you have homework tonight? Or is it downstairs?"

Although high school evening classes don't end until 10 p.m., there is still homework to do. Going to bed at 11 p.m. is considered early, midnight is normal, and going to bed at 1 or 2 a.m. is not unusual.

Of course, Shang Lin still handed over all the other schoolwork to Xing Tian except for the foreign language homework, but he didn't bring his schoolbag back tonight. Did he not have any homework?

Shang Lin told the truth, "My classmate threw my backpack away. I'm waiting for them to offer to replace it with a new one tomorrow."

Hu Tangdi exploded upon hearing this, "Which little brat did this?"

Xing Tian hurriedly asked, "Sect Master, did you encounter school bullying?!"

"Old Man Chai" frowned, but before he could speak, Shang Lin said, "Calm down, calm down. We don't know who's bullying whom. They're just kids. We just need to scare them a little."

Hu Tangdi was very dissatisfied. "Sect Leader is too soft-hearted. He always tries to stay calm about everything. Is this something to be calm about? This is simply going too far. You should know that a kind person is easily bullied, and a good horse is easily ridden."

Shang Lin immediately smiled, "Your writing is quite good. Don't worry, I released some paper cranes to urge them to pay their debts early this morning. They'll be keeping an eye on them."

Just then, She Jinxing returned. "Sect Master, I've found out that it was Fan Mingyu's father who sent people to cause you trouble in order to avenge him. What are your plans for dealing with those people, Sect Master?"

Shang Lin seemed to be muttering to himself, "Fan Mingyu has shallow family ties, an impulsive personality, and has experienced many ups and downs before finally reaching the top. I didn't expect that he would still have his father backing him up now. Did I misjudge his appearance, or is his turning point in life just yet?"

Then, as if coming to his senses, he said, "Let those people go. They're just henchmen. We'll keep an eye on Fan Mingyu and wait until he has nowhere else to turn before we make our move."

Everyone looked at each other, completely baffled by the sect leader's words, which seemed rather mystical. Although their very existence was already quite mysterious, the sect leader was the most exaggerated of them all.

After saying that, Shang Lin immediately yawned, but still asked Xing Tian with sleepy eyes, "Have you filmed your martial arts video?"

"I filmed it." Xing Tian snapped back to reality and immediately took out his phone to show Shang Lin. "But because of the short time, I only filmed one segment. After all, Little Snake was just learning on the spot."

Shang Lin immediately smiled, "That's a very apt description."

In the video, She Jinxing is dressed in the armor of an ancient general, and even his face is covered with a black metal mask that looks like a face mask. The red and black armor looks very imposing at first glance. In his hand, he is holding a red-tasseled spear with a silver-white shaft, which is quite beautiful.

Perhaps to make the filming look better and to make the moves look more realistic, She Jinxing only performed the moves without using any force. Even so, it was enough to attract attention.

Shang Lin hurriedly asked, "Has it been sent?"

Xing Tian took back his phone. "Not yet. Little Snake's ID card hasn't been retrieved yet, so he can't get real-name authentication. Also, one video is too few. We need to shoot more so that we can update continuously. This way, fans won't have to wait too long and lose interest. After all, people get bored with things very quickly these days."

Shang Lin yawned again. "Okay, you guys handle it. Tomorrow, Little Snake will deliver the medicine to the processing plant. When he comes back, I'll take you to meet Fan Mingyu."

She Jinxing hurriedly replied, "Okay."

Xing Tian thought to himself, "If the sect leader sends Little Snake out to keep watch, what about our videos? No, Little Snake still needs to learn on the spot, where will we find the time?"

But "Old Man Chai" said, "I'll film the next video. Anyway, I'm going to the martial arts school to be a martial arts instructor. As long as Old Man Chai's face isn't shown, it's fine."

Xing Tian hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"

“It doesn’t require any effort,” Ji Xiaoyao said honestly. “It’s just like teaching the little snake before.”

"Okay, then do your best." After saying that, Xing Tian went back to discussing the clothes with Hu Tangdi.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was about making money, Shang Lin went to rest in a good mood. As for the homework, he would finish it when the books were returned tomorrow.

However, while Shang Lin was in a good mood, someone else was in the opposite mood. Fan Mingyu did not return to the dormitory that night, and Zhou Heng helped him get a leave of absence, so he stayed at home to catch up on sleep. As a result, he was suddenly woken up by his father in the middle of the night.

Fan Mingyu rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at his father with great confusion. "Why are you back?" Did your stepmother kick you out? How could that be? It's good enough that they're not clinging to each other.

The next second, he received a slap across the face from his father. "You unfilial son, how could you owe money and not pay it back? Do we need money? Aren't you ashamed?"

Fan Mingyu was stunned by the beating and couldn't come to his senses for a long time. He just stared at his father. Only then did he realize that his father seemed to be drunk, with bloodshot eyes that looked a little scary in the dim light.

But as he looked at them, the eyes seemed to disappear from his father's eyes. Instead, they became a strange pair of eyes drawn on a paper crane. He jumped up in a fright and bumped his forehead hard.

Fan Mingyu subconsciously rubbed his forehead and opened his eyes. Where was his father in the bedroom? It was already bright outside. He didn't know when he had fallen off the bed and was sleeping on the carpet. He had just bumped into the bedside table.

He looked up and saw a pair of red eyes staring at him. Fan Mingyu sat up abruptly. How did this paper crane end up in his house? And facing him? Were those eyes really drawn on? How eerie!
