If a Ghost Immortal reincarnated successfully and awakened their past life's mories, wouldn't their cultivation speed be incredible? When fighting, spells would co to them as easily as breathing. Defeating the strong while weak and challenging those beyond their level would also be perfectly normal. But what about Shen Youling? Her cultivation speed couldn't even surpass Ning Yuexi's, even though he had always been guiding her and practicing Dual Cultivation with her. She was rendered completely helpless by a re Tong Xinwei. If she were a Ghost Immortal but hadn't awakened her past mories, how would she even know she was supposed to be formidable in her past life? This created a paradox.
Finding that Zheng Sanjie couldn't help, Shen Youling got up to leave. She told him she would return at noon with her family to treat him to a al. Zheng Sanjie replied that there was no need to be so formal, but she insisted on the invitation nonetheless.
Afterward, she went to the hospital to see how Shen Xin was recovering. Just as she reached the entrance, Dong Mingfeng, who had been standing guard like a devoted spouse, stopped her. "Ahem, your dad is still asleep. The doctor said everything is fine, so don't go in and wake him. Let him rest well."
"He's been asleep this whole ti, since yesterday?" Shen Youling asked in surprise.
"Yeah. Don't worry, the doctor is keeping a constant eye on him. There won't be any problems. By the way, where's Master Zheng?"
"He's at the hotel. I've invited him to lunch at noon. You and Sis should co too. Also, I'm going to invite Lin Tang."
"Why invite him? He's that useless..."
"Mom!" Shen Youling cut her off, staring directly into her eyes. "As long as you all stop targeting Lin Tang, I'm willing to let the past go. We can still be a family."
"You—" Dong Mingfeng started, but her expression shifted to one of joy upon hearing "still be a family." This was exactly what she had been waiting to hear. It ant she could go back to living the comfortable life of an affluent wife. Amidst her happiness, however, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Youling, you've achieved so much. Why are you still so entangled with that Lin Tang? I just don't get what you see in him. He's utterly unworthy of you!"
"I told you, do not target him. Do you want to be the one to cut ties with you?" Shen Youling's brow furrowed.
"...Alright, alright! I won't, I won't." Dong Mingfeng almost blurted out that her daughter was being unfilial, but then she rembered that tis had changed and Shen Youling's personality had shifted dramatically. She grudgingly backed down.
Shortly after, Shen Youling left the hospital and headed for her company. In the car, she took the opportunity to call Lin Tang, and this ti, the call connected.
"Lin Tang, where did you disappear to after you woke up? Can you join us for lunch at noon?"
On the other end of the line, Lin Tang was carefully unrolling a beastskin scroll and ticulously sketching the visualization diagram for the True Dragon Nine Transformations. Hearing Shen Youling's voice, he replied bluntly, "Eat with your mother and the others? I'm busy."
"But I've already persuaded my family to stop targeting you. Can't you do this one thing for ?"
"I really am busy."
"You have ti to travel all over with Lee Encai, but you don't have ti for one al with ? I don't care, you have to be there at noon!"
"Heh, are you threatening ? In that case, I'm definitely not coming."
"Fine! Suit yourself!"
Shen Youling huffily moved to hang up, but her finger paused. After a few seconds of silence, she asked, "My dad's injury... was it you who healed him?"
Lin Tang laughed. "You've already treated soone else as your benefactor, and now you're asking ? Don't you find that ironic?"
"I..."
"Look, I'm really busy right now. I'll get in touch when I'm done. If you're bored, you should think about how your dad was poisoned in the first place."
"Huh? Oh, right! I'd almost forgotten about that!"
