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 249 Ruthless and Silent

Shang Lin really wanted to say, "You're asking me? Who should I ask? I'm still dizzy and feel like I have a lot of problems to deal with."

However, Shang Lin glanced at the Divine Lord again, who hurriedly said, "I'm fine too. I only intervened to see what was going on with Ji Xiaoyao."

After confirming that the Divine Lord and She Jinxing were indeed alright, Shang Lin said, "The trapping formation that trapped the little turtle is still in use. Let's use it on Ji Xiaoyao now, so that he won't wake up and not know what's going on, and might hurt someone else."

Although both the Divine Lord and She Jinxing said that Ji Xiaoyao did not attack intentionally and was probably just expending his energy, who could say for sure what the specific situation was?

Upon hearing Shang Lin's words, She Jinxing subconsciously looked at the place where the little turtle was trapped, only to find it empty except for the array flags. He hurriedly asked, "Where's the little turtle?"

Shang Lin stated bluntly, "It's been sealed inside the painting."

She Jinxing hadn't participated, so he didn't know how difficult the sealing was, and asked, "Does this trapping formation have no effect on General Ji?"

"Make a slight change." Also, two array flags were damaged when the little turtle was sealed off yesterday.

The Divine Lord sighed from the side, "This Ji Xiaoyao truly lives up to his reputation as a great general in his previous life. He's ruthless and doesn't talk much. As a ghost cultivator, is it possible that he doesn't know that absorbing too many evil ghosts will affect him, or even cause him to be devoured by them?"

Shang Lin thought for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Perhaps it's because he trusted the Soul Nourishing Pill and Soul Stabilizing Pill I gave him too much!"

"That's true, but isn't it a bit much?"

The Divine Lord still found it unbelievable, but he didn't say anything more. After all, the kind of inexplicable trust in Shang Lin might also exist in Ji Xiaoyao's mind.

After Shang Lin finished repairing the trapping formation, he had She Jinxing use magic to move Ji Xiaoyao inside. Then he hurriedly left the tower to find food for himself. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time he hadn't eaten breakfast since he transmigrated to the human world.

How could this frail and delicate body possibly withstand this? It's practically a joke! But looking at the time, we can have breakfast and a slightly earlier lunch together.

But Shang Lin didn't go home; instead, he ate out. The reason was simple: no one was home, so there was no food. As for whether he cooked it himself or She Jinxing cooked it...

Haha, I'm too hungry, I can't wait any longer.

But when Shang Lin finished eating and was about to go home, he was very surprised to see Xu Feifei and a man in a wheelchair. The man was in his twenties, and even though he was in a wheelchair, his aura was not diminished.

Moreover, this man is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. Even without looking at his face, he is a successful person who is either rich or noble. He and Xu Feifei are also destined to be together and will be a loving and happy couple for life.

Could this be Xu Feifei's fiancé?! Apart from being a little older than her, he's practically the perfect husband in every other way. Even his legs aren't really crippled; he'll definitely stand up again eventually, it just needs some kind of opportunity.

In short, it was completely different from the predicament Xu Feifei had imagined, and with such a powerful man, she, as a shield, was simply not enough.

When Xu Feifei saw Shang Lin, she felt like a kidnapped girl seeing a savior. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard his phone ring.

He took out his phone and hurried away, not sparing her a single glance, not even as long as he looked at Lu Xianyu.

Lu Xianyu watched the boy hurriedly leave while answering the phone, then looked up at Xu Feifei and asked, "Do you know him?"

Xu Feifei quickly shook her head, then nodded, "Classmate, not familiar with each other."

This was clearly an attempt to cover something up. Did they think he was an innocent child? But Lu Xianyu didn't say anything more. What did it matter whether they were familiar or not?

On the contrary, the boy who had just exchanged a fleeting glance with him felt as if he had been seen through. Since he was Feifei's classmate, wasn't he also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old minor? So...

Are all kids these days this amazing?

Shang Lin, who was on the phone, also wanted to ask this question, but all she could manage to say was, "Why are you suddenly selling the company again?"

The call was from Fan Mingyu. He told Shang Lin about his idea to sell the company. After all, it was such a big deal, and he had no one to discuss it with. His mother had wanted him to do this for a long time, so what was there to discuss?

As for their relatives, they didn't have any. After their father died and the company went bankrupt, they avoided each other like the plague. Why would they keep in touch? Would they just make themselves miserable?

Fan Mingyu frankly said, "Selling the company now can fetch a good price, but I will be studying for at least the next seven years. If I pursue a master's degree, it will take another three years. I really can't manage it all. Besides, Brother Xing is also very busy. He also said that the company's current profitability is not good. If we can sell it for a good price, we can sell it."

So you've made up your mind, what could Shang Lin say? He could only offer a word of advice: "If you've thought it through, I'll support you. But you still need to discuss it with your aunt. After all, it's not a small matter, and you're still a minor. If you really want to sell the company, your aunt will have to step in."

Since it wasn't part of the Yuntai Sect's property, Shang Lin didn't say much. Besides, Fan Mingyu was still young, and studying was essential for his future development.

Fan Mingyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

When Shang Lin returned home, Chi Xie and Old Man Chai were still not back. He buried himself in his homework again, and only after he finished did he remember that he had asked Meng Zhe for the mid-term final exam papers.

After checking the time, Shang Lin set his own exam time and started by completing the Chinese exam. Only after finishing did he realize that the Chinese exam was similar to the one taken at their No. 2 Middle School. He then checked the answers and found that the scores were basically the same.

However, there was no time to do other tests today, so Shang Lin got up and moved around, preparing to make dinner herself. But She Jinxing beat her to it again.

He stayed inside the Dragon Spirit Tower for several hours, and after confirming that Ji Xiaoyao hadn't changed, he went out to cook. Chi Xie and Old Man Chai went to the martial arts hall, where they were going to do a live broadcast, and they might not be able to make it back in time.

Since She Jinxing had gone out to cook, Shang Lin stretched his body and then continued working on the test papers. However, due to time constraints, he only completed one set of math tests. He then discovered that the math test papers were much more difficult than those from their Second Middle School.

After comparing the answers, Shang Lin looked at the score. Well, it was another narrow victory. With this comparison, even without doing the other test papers, one could probably guess that he would be struggling to be in the top ten at No. 1 High School, after all, he still had his foreign language score to hold him back.

It seems I'll have to get some extra lessons from Xing Tian too. If Fan Mingyu really intends to sell his company, Xing Tian will have time to tutor me. Hmm, that's a good thing, but selling a company is no easy feat!
