"You think you can do that?" Lin Tang was skeptical.
The Earth Immortal grew even more incensed. "I am a dignified Earth Immortal! What's so difficult about that?"
"Then get back right now."
"Wait until my true form is fully awake..."
"Can't do it now? Then you're just spouting nonsense!"
"Long! Tian! Ji!"
One was a Nascent Soul powerhouse, the other an ancient Earth Immortal ancestor. At this mont, however, they were acting like any ordinary man and woman, a pair of bickering sweethearts. Lee Encai looked on with an amused smile.
Lin Tang himself found it rather funny. When I first t the Earth Immortal, she acted almost like artificial intelligence. Now, she seems to be getting more and more human.
This was actually quite normal. Previously, from the Earth Immortal's perspective, Lin Tang—or Long Tianji—was rely a junior, a slightly larger grasshopper. Now, she regarded him as a peer, her equal. Her attitude had naturally changed drastically.
"What? Lin Tang... he's Long Tianji? They're the sa person?"
Zheng Sanjie had just struggled to get up from the floor. When he heard the Earth Immortal reveal Lin Tang's other identity, he slumped back down despite not having been attacked. He was completely drained, utterly shocked.
If Lin Tang is actually Lin Tianyang, it ans his real age is indeed only in his twenties, not so old antique who has regained his youth. A War God in his twenties... Since ancient tis, how many people have reached that level? Is this the secret of the Lin Family, the benefit it brought him? Zheng Sanjie muttered to himself.
Lin Tang gave him a sidelong glance. "Now there's another reason to kill him. He knows too much!"
Zheng Sanjie: "!!!"
No! I don't know anything! I'm actually deaf...
In the end, with the Earth Immortal's protection, Zheng Sanjie's life was spared. He was also wise enough to swear an oath that he would never leak Lin Tang's secret. He also figured that Shen Youling probably didn't know about Lin Tang's other identity. Otherwise, she wouldn't have treated him with such a cavalier attitude, and her family certainly wouldn't have dared to insult Lin Tang so recklessly.
He slunk back to his hotel, intending to return to Luofu Palace imdiately. But he didn't dare act rashly—if Lin Tang saw it as him fleeing from guilt and ca to kill him, wouldn't that be a terrible injustice? It was like a ga of cat and mouse. Sotis, if the mouse stayed still, the cat couldn't be bothered with it. But the mont the mouse tried to run, the cat would imdiately chase it down, clawing and biting wildly. Zheng Sanjie had co to realize that he might constantly be under Lin Tang's watchful eye, his every move scrutinized. He felt incredibly bitter inside.
「Early in the morning.」
DING DONG!
The doorbell rang.
Zheng Sanjie, who had been awake all night, opened the door with bloodshot eyes. He saw Shen Youling standing there politely, holding a bag of freshly bought breakfast.
Zheng Sanjie: "???"
No. What have I possibly done to deserve you bringing breakfast? Please, don't be so kind to ... Your husband is the jealous type!
Sweat beaded on his forehead. Feeling imnse pressure, he forced a smile and said, "Ms. Shen, what brings you here?"
Shen Youling quickly responded, "Master Zheng, you can just call Youling, and please don't be so formal. You're my father's savior, so it's only natural that I co to thank you again and again."
"Ah, this—"
Zheng Sanjie's back began to sweat. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but it felt as though Lin Tang was staring down at him intently from above. The only reason he had put on an act yesterday was to find a suitable opportunity to get close to Shen Youling and her family.
"Ms. Shen, it actually wasn't ..."
He was just about to clarify when Shen Youling preempted him by asking, "May I co in to talk?"
"This... please, co in."
Zheng Sanjie didn't dare offend or object.
After Shen Youling entered and he closed the door, the two of them sat down. Zheng Sanjie was so nervous he didn't know where to put his hands or feet.
"Uh—"
Shen Youling was astonished. Recalling his confidence and composure from yesterday, he seems like a completely different person today. He's like an insecure loser who becos flustered the mont a beautiful woman looks at him.
"Master Zheng, I won't take up your valuable ti, so I'll get straight to the point," she said, composing herself. "Yesterday, you ntioned that the divination technique you've mastered can even affect the soul and awaken mories of past lives?"
Zheng Sanjie nodded. "That is true."
"Then..." Shen Youling said earnestly, "if I'm very interested in my past-life mories and want to recover them, can you help ?"
Initially, she had been on the verge of reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refinent and felt quite pleased with her rapid progress. But after being brutally beaten by Tong Xinwei and feeling the chill of death once more, she realized just how weak she still was. In the past, she was used to passively enduring such things and would have just silently swallowed the blow. Now that she knew a faster path to becoming stronger existed, she couldn't stand the thought of slow, arduous cultivation anymore. It just so happened that she had heard about the miraculous effects of the divination technique.
Upon hearing her request, Zheng Sanjie gave a wry smile. "Ms. Shen, you think too highly of . My knowledge of the divination technique is rely elentary. When it cos to sothing like awakening your innate wisdom, I'm afraid I'm powerless to help."
"I see..." Shen Youling looked a little disappointed.
Zheng Sanjie added, "However, if the great Lord of Luofu were to awaken his true body and perform the technique himself, he could probably do it."
Shen Youling was speechless. What have I possibly done to deserve a deity's help? Besides, I wouldn't dare ask. Who knows if the deity, upon discovering my ability to reincarnate endlessly, would capture and experint on like a lab rat...
「In the shadows.」
Lin Tang's Divine Sense silently swept past, and after overhearing their conversation, he too was lost in thought.
Why does Youling want to recover her past-life mories? What benefit could it have for her? Don't tell she's the reincarnation of a Ghost Immortal? Heh, that's impossible...
