Chapter 644: Outsider
It’s such an inconvenience for others to suddenly invite you over for dinner," commented Yue Yang.But the grandma exclaimed, "Call her, there’s no problem!"Hao Ren took out his phone and informed Zhao...Chapter 644: Outsiders
In the far-off Taiyi Cave, Taiyi Cave Master who was cultivating with his eyes closed suddenly opened them and looked at a few jade plates in his cave abode.
The three dark-colored jade plates were emitting light from within to outside, but the lights suddenly dimmed.
“Hmm…” Taiyi Cave Master’s mind trembled.
All disciples who left his Taiyi Cave would leave a life plate with him. Whether or not the life plate was lit up represented whether the corresponding soul had survived or been destroyed.
The control over the life plates meant half of their lives were controlled by him. If a life plate was broken, its corresponding cultivator would lose half of his life.
This was how Taiyi Cave Master controlled all disciples who left him to make sure they revolved around the interests of Taiyi Cave.
Among these disciples, only Wang Shitong had requested back his own life plate because he had already reached peak Gān Level and become a member of Jinlong Elders Council. It would be inappropriate for Taiyi Cave Master to continue controlling such members through this method.
The sudden dimming of three life plates meant that Taiyi Cave Master lost three disciples at the same time!
"How—!" Taiyi Cave Master opened his eyes wide in surprise as he never expected that the Jinlong sect, especially his line of Taiyi Cave, would lose three Gān Level Upper Realm experts!
The deaths of these three close disciples meant that their respective branch lines would gradually break away from Taiyi Cave.
After all, they were not directly controlled by Taiyi Cave Master.
Wang Shitong’s accidental death in Donghai City was like severing his left hand and right arm, but conversely, Wang Shitong’s life plate wasn’t under the control of Taiyi Cave anymore, which made him less obedient. Not only that, one seat at Jinlong Elders Council had become vacant, making Taiyi Cave Master feel an increase in status.
But these disciples were different because they directly represented the strength of Taiyi Cave. Their deaths meant cutting down the power he had painstakingly built!
In this moment when Taiyi Cave Master was both shocked and perplexed, those three dark jade plates suddenly flickered back to life.
The third disciple, fourth disciple, and fifth disciple seemed to still have a thread of breath left. Their souls weren’t completely destroyed.
Taiyi Cave Master exhaled slowly as his heart dropped down gradually. He then suddenly thought—Who! Who had the strength to kill his sixth disciple at peak Gān Level and almost instantly kill three other disciples at Gān Level Upper Realm!
Was this Donghai Dragon Palace’s Hao Ren someone with a background that he couldn’t afford to offend!
Taiyi Cave Master pondered it over carefully but then shook his head. The enmity was already set, and there was no way out for him now. Jinlong sect always avenges their enemies; how could they let Hao Ren get away with taking the Treasure of Taiyi Cave, “Tongtian Shield”
Back then when Xu Ke lost Tongtian Shield to Hao Ren, he hadn’t thought much about it and felt that this small cultivator from Donghai couldn’t suppress a Divine Treasure, so the shield must eventually return to Taiyi Cave. But he realized his thoughts were wrong!
Hao Ren not only retained Tongtian Shield but also had no intention of returning it!
Taiyi Cave Master waved his sleeves; the soft cotton Taoist robe suddenly became straight and rigid. Xu Ke, this little soul egg, was unwilling to put in effort and was hiding his strength. Does he really want me to take action personally
Forget it... My three disciples aren't pushovers either. Having suffered such a big loss, they will surely repay grievances with resentment. The Heaven-Through Shield can still grow a bit more; it's not too late to retrieve it!
If I intervene too early and attract the attention of other old monsters in the Elders' Assembly, that would be problematic!
Xuanwater Sword Art is an Immortal sword art. Any Qian-rank peak cultivator aspiring to break through to the Celestial Dragon Realm wants to possess it for themselves. Taiyi Cave Master hadn't even disclosed this information to his disciple Wang Shitong, naturally not wanting to attract attention from other experts in Jinlong's lineage.
Taiyi Cave Master gritted his teeth and then closed his eyes to cultivate.
Hao Ren, who returned to Donghai City riding the Golden Light Shield, had no idea that Xu Ke's master almost took action personally. He felt greatly relieved when he realized his cultivation level had recovered to the Zhen Rank.
The Zhen Rank was equivalent to the Core Formation stage for human cultivators and wasn't a particularly low rank among young dragons in the dragon cultivator circle.
At least, Hao Ren could now operate the Split Light Sword Shadow Art and possess a certain level of self-protection ability.
"Young Master!"
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉看到郝仁踩著金光盾出現在校園裡，急忙飛了上來。
她們找來找去都找不到郝仁的方位，還以為郝仁出事了。她們哪裡想到坎級的郝仁，也敢帶著金光盾去遠方辦事。
而她們飛起十幾米，剛剛接近郝仁，就忽然發現郝仁的境界已經從坎級達到震級，一下子吃驚地睜大了俏麗的大眼睛。
施展過“毒丸計劃”的郝仁的身體，應該是短暫的無靈之體，不能修煉的，但是郝仁卻硬生生地提到了震級！
這樣的話，等到毒丸計劃的效果徹底完成，郝仁的靈力要猛增好幾截！
她們抓著郝仁的手腕，仔細查驗郝仁的身體，懷疑自己是不是看錯了。但是郝仁確確實實就是震級的境界！
由凡入仙。
毒丸計劃的副作用結束，郝仁就是仙靈之體，再一次地由凡入仙。
兩次疊加，就是由仙入仙，相當於本來就是修煉之士，再徹底地脫胎換骨！應該不存在的靈力，就變成本命之力，這種狀況，隻應該發生在像陸家姐妹這樣被貶落凡間的仙體之上！
所謂的轉世重修，也就是這樣的效果。
這是天意吧……陸琳琳和陸莉莉互相看看，都不知道該說什麼了。
她們剛剛接觸郝仁的時候，郝仁的體質絕對是最斑駁的雜行之體，是最最普通的凡人。按照陸家姐妹的判斷，郝仁能夠達到震級，無病無災，也就不錯了。但是……郝仁不斷的努力，一次又一次地打破她們的期待。
When they first encountered Hao Ren, his constitution was the most mixed and ordinary human. According to Lu sisters' judgment, it would be great if he could reach the Zhen Rank without any illness or misfortune. However... Hao Ren constantly broke their expectations with his efforts.
The vow that ‘served’ Hao Ren for a lifetime seemed to stretch out even longer.
"Are you okay" When Hao Ren saw them staring at him blankly, he asked.
“We’re fine!” Lu L琳琳 and Lu L莉莉露出甜美的笑容，挽著郝仁的左右手，拉著他降到地麵上。
The rain was still drizzling over Donghai City, but the mood of the Lu sisters seemed as bright as sunshine.
Xie Yujia, holding a few professional books, walked out from the library and saw the Lu sisters親密地挽著郝仁從遠處走來。
The sky was somewhat overcast; this kind of rain might continue until the weekend. Xie Yujia looked up at the sky, raised her umbrella.
In a foggy schoolyard surrounded by the vivid Lu sisters, Hao Ren seemed quite distant to her.
Zhaoyan Zi, wearing light blue Lingzhong High School uniform and riding a bright little bicycle from the direction of the main gate, approached Hao Ren with one hand holding the handlebar and the other holding an umbrella.
Hao Ren reached out to steady Zhaoyan Zi's bike; she happily jumped off her bike onto Hao Ren’s side, splashing water everywhere.
The water droplets splashed on Hao Ren's pants, but he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and lightly tapped Zhaoyan Zi's head with his fist.
Zhaoyan Zi covered her head and grimaced in pain; the Lu sisters were in high spirits and chatted about amusing things next to Hao Ren and Zhaoyan Zi.
In this drizzly scene, it was a very warm moment.
Xie Yujia still stood at the entrance of the library with her umbrella raised, quietly observing them as if everything had nothing to do with her. The rain continued to fall.
The four of them laughed and chatted as they headed towards the main gate of the school. Zhaoyan Zi in her colorful cartoon rain boots was getting closer and closer to Hao Ren, occasionally bumping into his arm.
Inside Xie Yujia’s body, Wanfa Guifude silently operated; though it was drizzling, she did not feel cold at all.
Hao Ren, you never asked about my cultivation progress,
I’ve already reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Xie Yujia faintly lowered her head and walked down the library’s steps. She wiped the rainwater off the seat of her slightly old bicycle with her hand and put the books wrapped in plastic bags into the basket at the front of the bike.
After unlocking the bike, she slowly rode towards Nanqu dormitory on her bicycle.
She was like this bicycle—unremarkable but practical. But who likes such a bicycle nowadays
The shoulders outside the umbrella were gradually getting wet from the drizzle. The twin gold and silver talismans seemed like two flames swirling inside Xie Yujia’s body.
Since she had received the life-and-death talisman given to her by Granny, Xie Yujia no longer suffered from any fever or colds. However, today, she suddenly felt a bit dizzy.
She sincerely wished that she could fall ill so that Hao Ren might start caring about her.
Why did all this hard training have to be for
The drizzly campus was quiet and desolate.
Xie Yujia rode her bicycle past the south gate, then hesitated before slowly riding towards the Hongji Square.
Raindrops sprinkled on Xie Yujia’s face, making her fair skin look even more delicate while tiny droplets stuck to her long eyelashes.
As dusk approached, the Hongji Square was bustling with activity; every shop was full of customers. Joyful laughter and the sound of clinking glasses could be heard from the windows and doorways.
Xie Yujia looked at the Hongji Square, which she had never thoroughly explored before.
With her umbrella raised, Xie Yujia walked on the stone-paved square, calmly appreciating the European-style Hongji Square in the rain-drenched twilight.
At the end of the Hongji Square, where it turned towards a residential area, there was a coffee shop that she had never noticed before.
The poor business of this coffee shop might be due to its location or perhaps the rainy weather, as there were only five or six customers inside when Xie Yujia pushed open the door and entered.
"Cappuccino." Xie Yujia ordered a cup of hot coffee.
Cradling her warm cup, she sipped on the frothy coffee while sitting by the window, watching the drizzle outside.
"It’s not that easy to find someone you can talk with. Especially after witnessing so many betrayals, I’m always uneasy and have to be strong. Who killed my romance…"
Melodious music played in the coffee shop. Xie Yujia took a slow breath, lowering her head to take another sip of her coffee.
"Falling in love isn’t easy; everyone has their own temper. Having passed the age of dreaming, we prefer calmness over dramatics. Happiness is hard to come by, which makes it all the more enchanting. Back then, when we were clueless and heartlessly open with each other, we felt truly happy. Back then…"
With her cup steaming in her hands, Xie Yujia sat quietly as tears slid down her face.
