Why is my job panel in an anime style?

Chapter 14: My inability to cope became my downfall.

Unaware that he had been spied on by Wugensheng and his companion all afternoon, Li Ang was distracted while doing his evening lessons.

"How exactly should we deal with them?"

As he thought about it, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Snapped!
A crisp sound rang out, and Li Ang subconsciously covered his head, looking at Zuo Ruotong who had somehow walked up to him.

He gave an awkward smile and greeted her somewhat guiltily, "Master, Master."

"When doing evening classes, avoid being impatient and be more focused."

Zuo Ruotong didn't even look at Li Ang. After saying a few words, she walked over to another disciple who was in a daze.

Seeing this, Li Ang obediently lowered his head and continued reciting the evening lessons.

However, as he read on, he inexplicably thought of the content of Journey to the West.

'My master tapped me on the head. Does that mean I should go find him in the middle of the night?'

"But the first watch is from 7 to 9 pm, by the time evening classes end, it's already past that time."

'Or should I go find him as soon as it's over?'

And so, as Li Ang drifted into his own thoughts, the evening class quickly came to an end.

Watching his fellow disciples leave the hall one after another, he gritted his teeth and approached Zuo Ruotong, who was standing at the hall entrance: "Master."

"Come with me."

Before Li Ang could explain his purpose, Zuo Ruotong stopped him and led him to a side hall.

Looking at the disciple before her, Zuo Ruotong gestured for him to sit down, then asked, "Do you have any questions about the three levels of Reverse Life cultivation?"

Li Ang certainly didn't approach his master for that reason.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again, looking very hesitant.

Seeing his attitude, Zuo Ruotong did not urge him, but waited quietly.

After a moment, Li Ang hardened his heart and said, "Master, I feel that something is wrong with Yunsheng and Yunze, who came up the mountain today."

He chose to explode.

However, this was a choice made by Li Ang after careful consideration. After all, the worst-case scenario of exposing Wu Gensheng and his companion's identities would be being treated as accomplices and then imprisoned by the San Yi Sect for stealing the Reverse Life Triple Technique.

After all, he didn't do anything really bad.

But this meant nothing to him, because once this was over, he would be leaving this world.

Besides, even if he's imprisoned, it won't affect his ability to gain experience.

There was virtually no danger to his life. This was Li Ang's deduction, based on Zuo Ruotong's character as portrayed in the original work and their interactions over the past few days.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do that.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Zuo Ruotong's gaze immediately deepened, and he asked calmly, "Why do you think that?"

Faced with his master's question, Li Ang did not choose to answer directly, but simply shook his head slightly and said, "The two of them give me a strange feeling; they don't seem like they should be at their age."

"On the contrary, they do look somewhat alike."

"The Quanxing demon I've seen before."

If someone else were to hear Li Ang's words at this moment, they would most likely think that he was falsely accusing his fellow disciple, since the reason he gave was rather far-fetched.

However, when Li Ang first met Zuo Ruotong, he had already told him that Quanxing seemed to be plotting something that would be detrimental to Sanyi Sect.

In addition, the commotion caused by Li Muxuan, the 'traitor' of the Sanyi Sect, a few days ago even reached Zuo Ruotong's nose, and in the end, someone lost their life because of it.

Therefore, this Great Ying Immortal was somewhat aware of the fact that Quanxing was targeting the Sanyi Sect.

Or rather, it wasn't Quanxing, but rather Li Muxuan targeting the Sanyi Sect.

At that moment, the hall fell silent as soon as Li Ang spoke. After a long while, Zuo Ruotong finally spoke in an emotionless voice, "I understand. You can go back now."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang said nothing more, simply bowed, and left.

Outside the hall, gazing at the star-studded night sky, he silently wondered, "I wonder what my master is thinking."

"Was my hint obvious enough?"

The Sanyi Sect has been searching for Li Muxuan's whereabouts, and Li Ang is now practically ready to reveal that one of the Yunsheng brothers is actually Li Muxuan in disguise.

A slightly cool night breeze blew as he walked back to the disciples' dormitory.

The morning of the second day.

After finishing his morning prayers, Li Ang followed Lu Jin in his daily practice as usual, but the simple standing meditation was no longer of any use to him.

After instructing Wugensheng and the other to rest if they couldn't hold on any longer, Lu Jin walked up to him and said, "Junior Brother Li, you don't need to stand anymore."

"Let's just circulate the Qi directly."

Li Ang readily accepted the suggestion from the white-haired youth.

If he were just an ordinary person, then standing meditation might even improve his physical condition.

However, Li Ang's physical strength is already at 1.9, so there's definitely no way he can increase his attributes from such simple activities.

He's not some bald, evil demon king.

Just as Li Ang was about to circulate his Qi, a white-haired figure wearing a wide Taoist robe arrived in front of his fellow disciples.

It is Zuo Ruotong.

Upon seeing their master's arrival, everyone present stood up straight: "Master."

Zuo Ruotong nodded slightly in response, then walked up to the two men, Wugensheng and his brother Yunsheng, who were disguised as the Yunsheng brothers, and placed her right hand on Wugensheng's head.

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Muxuan, who was standing next to Wugensheng, couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and anticipation in his eyes.

Only Li Ang present knew that this was probably his master probing the other party's strength.

Is Master about to make a move?

Although it was somewhat different from his plan to deal with Wugensheng and the other person discreetly, it was still better than taking action in full view of everyone during the Dharma transmission ritual.

After a moment, Zuo Ruotong withdrew her right hand and casually said, "Let's continue."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Li Ang was stunned; things had turned out differently than he had expected.

'Master, aren't you going to do anything?'

However, the plot of the original work quickly flashed through his mind.

In the original novel, Zuo Ruotong actually saw through the identities of Wugensheng and the other person, but he had some things he wanted to say to Li Muxuan through the ritual of transmitting the Dharma, so he did not choose to expose their identities.

Of course, his subsequent breakthrough to the third level of Reverse Life with the help of Wugensheng was completely beyond the expectations of this Great Ying Immortal.

Thinking of this, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

He was still too weak after all. Even with the help of the professional panel, and even though he now used Qi circulation to replace sleep every night, the time was still too short.

It was so short that he hadn't even had time to develop.

Otherwise, Li Ang would have dealt with those two himself.

'Well, since Master has made his decision, I can only think about what to do regarding the transmission ritual.'

With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes.
