Chapter 99

Li Xue knocked on the door.

The door opened with a creak.

"Lin Ping, you haven't come out since you returned to your room at noon yesterday. What's wrong?"

She looked at the man who opened the door and said.

"over slept."

Lin Ping looked at her, "What's the matter?"

Can you sleep for so long if you oversleep?

It was obvious that he was perfunctory with her.

For some reason, Li Xue felt that Lin Ping's eyes were different today than usual, but she didn't go into details. She just warned: "There are dead people at the seaside. The elder asked me to come and tell you, don't go out unless you have nothing to do."

"We are monks. If one of us dies, we won't dare to go out?" Lin Ping said.

"It's not just this - officials came to search just now, and it is said that the officials who transported the body are also missing."

Li Xue frowned and said, "The elder thinks there is something wrong with this rain - it doesn't look like natural rainfall, but like there is external interference."

After saying that, her nose suddenly moved, "Why does it smell like sea? Did you go to the beach?"

Lin Ping shook his head, "The rain must have brought it in. I've been staying in the room and never went out."

"It's best this way." Li Xue looked at him suspiciously, "Are you coming down for dinner? The elder ordered a table of dishes."

Lin Ping was about to shake his head when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from downstairs.

"Where have you been?"

He looked down and saw a soaked man in gray walking in front of the door on the first floor.

"Tang Ling?" Li Xue noticed that the person who spoke just now was Tang Ling. At this time, she was facing the man in gray with surprise on her face.

"Isn't that the disciple sent by Lingxian to participate in the competition? I remember... his name is Wei Zhiming?"

Not hearing the expected response, Li Xue turned around and saw that Lin Ping had already walked away.

Tang Ling didn't expect Wei Zhiming to go out in the rain.

"Didn't the waiter say at noon that someone just died, so don't run around?"

Wei Zhiming was silent and did not speak.

Tang Ling knew that no one could pry open this man's mouth when he didn't want to talk.

Looking at his different behaviors in the past two days, I thought that after many days of getting along with him, he had changed his temper, but unexpectedly he was still the same.

Tang Ling sighed helplessly, and immediately asked the waiter for a bucket of hot water, and told Wei Zhiming: "Go back to the house and take a bubble bath. The competition will take place in two days. Don't catch a cold again."

Wei Zhiming nodded and left without saying a word.

Tang Ling then asked the waiter to wait until Wei Zhiming finished taking a shower before bringing him some food before sitting back at the dining table.

Yuan Yulang, who was at the dinner table behind him, snorted coldly, "I told you not to worry about him. Do you think he would be grateful to you? He might think you are nosy."

Tang Ling rolled her eyes at him and said, "Clear your identity, we are here to escort you."

"Then you don't have to serve me like an uncle."

"Who does it seem like I have to serve you?" Tang Ling was speechless, "This is called care from fellow disciples."

"Then if I get caught in the rain, can you care about me like this?"

"I'm not worried about your rough skin and thick flesh."

Yuan Yulang curled his lips and expressed that he was very unhappy.

"You are a person who has practiced body refining, and you have spiritual power to protect yourself. Compared with ordinary people, you are naturally not afraid of cold air invading your body." Tang Ling added, "But Wei Zhiming is different. He has only practiced weapon refining, and even He can’t use his spiritual power, and although his body is stronger, it’s still far behind a monk like you.”

"But why did this kid only cultivate one discipline?" Yuan Yulang asked, "Cultivation in two more disciplines won't kill him."

"Similar to me, your spiritual root level is not high enough." Tang Ling said, "Not everyone is a great genius like you."

"But you are a low-ranking D-level student and have taken several elective courses."

"Please don't use me as an example, thank you."    "Maybe it's to do one thing wholeheartedly."

Lin Ping, who was dressed in white, walked up to the two of them. He ignored Li Xue’s constant shouting behind him and showed a friendly smile to the two of them, “Do you mind if I share the table?”

Tang Ling was a little stunned and said subconsciously: "I don't mind, but I will pay for it myself."

Yuan Yulang felt that he had never been so picky in his life, so he turned his face away silently.

Lin Ping glanced at the simple food on the table between the two of them.

"Old classmate, long time no see, I'm here to treat you."

After that, he called the waiter and ordered several more expensive dishes.

Tang Ling maintained a surprised expression until the food was served.

She looked at the round table crowded with food, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and held it back.

As the saying goes, "Eating people is short-tongued, and taking advantage of others is soft-handed." This former school classmate was so generous tonight. Could it be that he had some request?
  "I've been sleeping for a long time. I haven't even touched the rice yet. I'm already starving." Lin Ping seemed to have noticed Tang Ling's concerns and took the initiative to explain, "I feel like I ordered a bit too much. Let's eat together. Don't be polite to me." .”

"How long?" Yuan Yulang wondered.

"One day, one night, and one morning."

"That's a long time." Tang Ling wondered, "Why did you sleep for so long?"

"I feel particularly sleepy on rainy days." Lin Ping smiled sheepishly, "I was in a hurry along the way and didn't even get a good rest."

Tang Ling felt it deeply. He looked at the rain outside the door and said, "I don't know when the rain will stop. Will it affect the weapon refining competition?"

"Don't worry." Lin Ping said, "Nangong Mansion is very large and has an indoor competition venue, so it should not be affected by the heavy rain."

"Have you been there?" Yuan Yulang became interested, "Are there many agencies in that Nangong Mansion?"

"I just heard it from the elders of the sect." Lin Ping said, "There should be some kind of mechanism or something. Rumor has it that there is a huge city-like mechanism under the Nangong Mansion. If you are accidentally trapped, very few people can come out. There are not many, except for the successive heads of the Nangong family and their trusted servants, even the gods cannot leave."

Yuan Yulang snorted unconvinced, "Can't we just use magic to dismantle him?"

"It shouldn't be that simple." Lin Ping shook his head with a smile and said, "Is the person you just mentioned the same person sent by the Lingxian Sect to participate in the weapon refining conference this time?"

Tang Ling nodded.

"What did he go out to do?" Lin Ping asked.

Tang Ling shook his head, "We don't know either."

After saying that, he became alert again.

Isn't this Lin Ping here to inquire about the "enemy situation" for his sect?
  "The Tide Pass has not been very stable these days. If you want to participate in the competition, it's better not to run around." Lin Ping nodded.

"Tell him something nice later." Yuan Yulang said to Tang Ling, "If he really encounters a bad person like this, there will be no room for resistance."

"They are also capable, okay?" Tang Ling glanced at Lin Ping, not wanting to discuss Wei Zhiming too much in front of outsiders, "Otherwise, how could he be selected by our sect?"

"The training of the auxiliary system is to assist the combat system, and you will always be the one behind it. What a loss!" Yuan Yulang couldn't help but said, "You can't protect yourself, and you have to rely on others in the battle. What's the use? "

Tang Ling, who majored in the assistant department, couldn't hold back the small fire in her heart. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, someone else took over the topic.

"I just simply like it." Lin Ping looked at Yuan Yulang with clear eyes, gentle and calm, "There are still some monks in this world who do not practice to become immortals."

"Aren't you practicing to become an immortal? What nonsense?" Yuan Yulang dismissed it.

"Lin Ping is right." Tang Lingzhi agreed, "And at least there is a benefit to practicing cultivation, which is that it can live longer than ordinary people."

"Are you stupid?" Yuan Yulang said, "You have to know how many ordinary people have contracted serious illnesses because they were unable to bear the pain of cultivation, or they have not even stepped into the threshold of cultivation and have suffered from the disease because their body is not suitable for cultivation. The body is exhausted and ends up with a shortened life span!"

As a major disciple of the Alchemy Sect, Tang Ling naturally knew this, but since there was no such monk around him, he didn't take it seriously.

But then I thought about it, the sect I was in was the top sect in the cultivation world, and there were naturally very few such people. Maybe she and Wei Zhiming were the only ones.

"Wei Zhiming probably just likes it." Tang Ling said uncertainly, "I hope his love can support him to go far in his cultivation."

Yuan Yulang sneered.

"Let's pass this competition first, but if he is eliminated early, we can set off and start the trial as soon as possible."
