Chapter 143: Continued Social Death
Under the piercing gazes of the crowd, Nan Wang felt as if his face was burning.
Shameful.
Zhan Chenming was the first to speak and comforted him: "Don't think too much, Lao Si. We can't always hear your voice."
Nan Wang held onto his last hope and asked, "How many times have you heard it?"
Zhan Chenming thought for a moment and held up five fingers:
"About five... six, seven, eight, nine, or twenty times."
Nanwang: “…”
He picked up the rabbit in his arms and shook it wildly: "Nuonuo! Can you hear my voice too?"
Annuo turned around dizzy and called out a few times: "Chi, chi..."
What is it? What is your inner voice? I don’t know…
Nanwang put the rabbit down in frustration, his face full of doubts about life.
"Master, Senior Brother... Qi Ling Ling Xin seems to have something to say."
The voice of the spirit branch sounded weakly.
Nan Wang cast his gaze over and said viciously, "Yes, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten about it. Ask it why my inner voice could be heard by others. Is it its fault?"
Lingzhi said, "The Seven Secrets of the Linglong Heart says that expressing one's inner voice is one of the innate inheritances of the dragon race. When the dragon race communicates in this way, outsiders cannot interfere. But you... Brother, you did not receive the complete inheritance, so it is normal for some problems to occur when using it."
Nanwang: “Hmm.”
Zhan Chenming said: "Don't worry, Lao Si, you are not thinking about anything you shouldn't be thinking about. These are all things that make you happy to help others."
Others followed suit.
Du Xueling: "Yes, you told us about the future through your inner voice, and we are very grateful to you."
Chu Songping: "What's there to worry about? Isn't it enough to get the job done?"
Zhu Tianque: "Great kindness is not bound by form."
With everyone's comfort, Nanwang's mood improved a little.
But at the same time, he suddenly remembered another thing: "Wait a minute, come to think of it, I found it strange before - when you found out that I was an undercover agent of the Demon Cult, you didn't seem surprised at all? Did you hear me 'thinking' about this a long time ago???"
Everyone: “…”
At this moment, silence is better than words, and everything is implied.
Nan Wang held his head and wailed, "I won't live any longer, ah ah ah——"
He was worried and tormented every day, but it turned out to be all for nothing!
He had already been exposed to the point where nothing was left except his underwear!
Unfortunately, he went to the Demonic Cult alone to investigate the truth behind his time travel. If he had known this, he would have let his Fifth Junior Sister go with him. Maybe he could have prevented her from being seduced by Wu Ge!
The scene was so tragic that even the Second Elder could not bear to watch it anymore and said comfortingly: "Everything has its cause and effect. On the road to becoming an immortal, the least important thing is face. People with extraordinary talents often neglect other things because they indulge in cultivation. It is understandable."
Nan Wang said in despair: "But I lost face and my cultivation didn't improve!"
Second Elder: “…”
Indeed.
It is indeed strange. Nanwang's talent and background can be said to be a child favored by heaven, but his cultivation level just can't be improved. It is really confusing.
Fortunately, the Second Elder had taught many disciples and had a lot of experience in comforting those whose cultivation had stagnated, so he continued:
"You can't force yourself to become an immortal. If the opportunity comes, it's not impossible to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. Although your ability to predict the future can't directly improve your cultivation, it can help you make good friends and build a tower out of nothing..."
The Second Elder's words were ambiguous, but everyone present understood.
Although Nanwang's cultivation is still very low, it is much better than at the beginning. He can reach this point today almost entirely with the help of other true teachings.
From this we can see that Nanwang’s talent is still useful for improving his cultivation.
It's just that the use is not that direct.
"No… this isn't future-knowing."
Nan Wang sniffed, and with great difficulty pulled himself together from his social death. He confessed frankly, as if he had given up:
"The reason why I know everyone's future is because I have read the original work."
"You all know that I come from another world. I have a book with me. The full name of the book is "The Return of the Dragon Lord (IV)". Although it is a book with Tong Yan as the main theme, the book includes Qingyun Sect, the eldest senior brother, the eldest senior sister, and everyone present. Yes, everyone is just a character in the book."
"The reason why I know what everyone will encounter is because I read this book before traveling through time. If it is something that is not mentioned in the book, I would not know it."
After Nanwang finished speaking, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
It must be a big shock to suddenly find out that you are a character in a book...
He glanced at everyone's expressions, and sure enough, everyone's face was filled with shock.
“It’s actually like this…”
The first one to speak was the second elder.
He seemed to have lost weight, as if he had aged ten years, and his originally fairy-like white hair had become much duller.
"Second Master."
Du Xueling walked forward briskly and knelt beside the second elder.
The next person to go up was Zhu Tianque, who also sat down silently.
They seemed to be more concerned about the Second Elder's mood than themselves, which made Nan Wang a little confused.
Aren’t we all characters in the book? Why is only the Second Elder so sad?
Nan Wang was puzzled, but he didn't know how to ask.
Lingzhi suddenly said, "Alas, if Wuge knew about this, he would be relieved."
Nanwang was extremely confused: "What does this have to do with Wuge?"
Lingzhi blinked his eyes: "Yes... Isn't this book written by Qinghe?"
Nanwang: “???”
Lingzhi was surprised and said, "Brother, you didn't realize it? Since it wasn't you who predicted the future, it could only be Senior Qinghe who was sent to another world by Wuge. Since Senior Qinghe was in another world, his ability to observe the future was no longer restricted, so he was able to write such a complete book."
Nanwang: “…”
This is actually the case.
No wonder there is a strange number (four) after the title, but he couldn't find any one, two, or three parts after searching the entire internet. It turns out that the four represents the fourth true disciple Qinghe!
In other words, he thought he knew the plot of the original novel long ago and knew the future of Qingyun Sect, but in fact he knew nothing!
The real manipulator behind the scenes is not him, but a serious astronomer, the fourth true disciple of Qingyun Sect, Qinghe!
"Since it was Junior Brother's work, it's not surprising..." The Second Elder sighed, "Junior Brother is in another world, but he still cares about us. I don't know how he is doing."
Nanwang: “…”
Damn it, he never pays attention to the author when he reads a novel.
If he had paid more attention, he might have been able to say a few words now...
Nanwang racked his brains for a long time, and finally recalled a little bit of the past:
"Second, Second Elder, I remember once I saw the author post a request for a day off. It was about a gay friend's husband cheating on her and he was asked to help catch the adulterer. I thought his wording was quite lighthearted and cheerful, so his life should be... okay?"
Although his friend seems to be in dire straits...
"That's great."
The second elder let out a long sigh.
