"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.
"Overslept."
Lin Ping looked at her, "What's the matter?"
Can you sleep for so long if you oversleep?
It’s obvious that he is perfunctory with her.
For some reason, Li Xue felt that Lin Ping's eyes looked 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 - some officials came to search just now, and the officials who were said to be transporting the body are also missing."
Li Xue frowned and said, "The elder feels that 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 like this." 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 he had changed his temper after many days of getting along with him, 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 have 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 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 if he looked like that? 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 pouted, expressing that he was very unhappy.
"You are a person who has practiced body refining, and you have spiritual power to protect your body. 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...
I can’t use my spiritual power, and although my body is stronger, it’s still far behind a monk like you.”
"But why did this kid only cultivate one discipline?" Yuan Yulang said, "It won't kill him if he cultivates two more disciplines."
"Like me, your spiritual root level is not high enough." Tang Ling said, "Not everyone is the same as you, Yuan Da Genius."
"But you are a low-ranking D-level student, but you have also 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. Regardless of Li Xue’s constant shouting behind him, he showed a friendly smile to the two of them, “Do you mind if I share the table?”
Tang Ling was a little stunned and subconsciously said: "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 for the two of them.
"Old classmate, long time no see, I'll treat you to this meal."
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 water 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, plus 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 wonder when the rain will stop. Will it affect the weapon refining competition?"
"Don't worry." Lin Ping said, "Nangong Mansion is very big and has an indoor competition venue. It should not be affected by this 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 mechanism as big as a city under the Nangong Mansion. If you are accidentally trapped, very few people can come out.
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 is he going to do when he goes out?" Lin Ping said.
Tang Ling shook his head, "We don't know either."
After saying that, I became alert again.
This Lin Ping, isn't he here to find out the "enemy situation" for his sect?
"The Tide Gate 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 the scenes. 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 like it." Lin Ping looked at Yuan Yulang, his eyes were clear, gentle and calm.
"There are still some monks in this world who do not practice to become immortals."
