Chapter 157: The Blessings of Ling?

Last time, Qi Xueyan fell from the third floor and was caught by Lin Chao.

The two of them became acquainted then.

Qi Xueyan often came to the school to find Lin Chao, and Chen Longxuan and the others knew that Lin Chao and Qi Xueyan were close.

Lin Chao felt calm inside: "It's fine... just ordinary friends."

Qi Xueyan had a very good impression of him, which Lin Chao knew.

This was human nature.

"Let me tell you a secret, Qi Xueyan's family is not simple.

Recently, a newcomer named Ling Jin joined our Supernatural Research Society; he is also from our Tianhai University.

He also knows Qi Xueyan; they even stayed in the same residential compound when they were children.

He told me that Qi Xueyan's background is not simple, she is a second-generation elite, and her grandfather's rank is even higher than our principal's... by two levels.

You must seize the opportunity; if you win over Qi Xueyan, you can save yourself thirty years of struggle."

Lin Chao smiled.

"Indeed." Lin Chao had met Qi Xueyan's mother and could naturally sense that she was not an ordinary person.

However, none of this was important to him.

"I envy Lin Chao, having a rich woman to rely on, and the key is that this rich woman is also young and beautiful.

Unlike my distant cousin, who latched onto a sixty-year-old rich woman and is just waiting for that rich woman to kick the bucket so he can split the assets," Chen Longxuan couldn't help but say.

Just then, Zhang Yiming, who had been silent, spoke up: "Your cousin has strong teeth."

"I also wish my teeth were as strong as my cousin's," Chen Longxuan laughed heartily.

Among lolis, mature women, young married women, aunties, and rich women, ordinary people seem to be increasingly chasing after rich women.

"Aren't you researching the Supernatural? How is it going now?" Zhang Yiming couldn't help but ask.

He had never believed in the Supernatural.

Asking Chen Longxuan this question at this moment was to intentionally mock Chen Longxuan.

Because he knew that Chen Longxuan's Supernatural Research Society had almost no research results.

"Sigh, don't mention it," Chen Longxuan waved his hand, "Recently, the president of our Supernatural Research Society has been busy merging with research societies in other cities; where would he have time to research the Supernatural?"

"You better not get scammed," Zhang Yiming said, "Losing your butt is a small matter, just don't get your kidneys harvested."

"You really underestimate our Supernatural Research Society. If we merge with the research society in the neighboring city, we will count as the largest Supernatural Research Society in the Northwest region," Chen Longxuan said triumphantly.

Just then, a young figure appeared before everyone.

This person was none other than Ling Jin, whom Lin Chao had met once before.

He came here, his gaze falling directly on Chen Longxuan: "Longxuan, our research has made new progress."

"Ah?" A hurried expression immediately appeared on Chen Longxuan's face: "Really?"

"Yes," Ling Jin nodded.

Chen Longxuan immediately looked at Lin Chao: "Sorry, I'm heading back to the research society, so I won't eat with you guys."

"Alright," Lin Chao nodded with a smile.

However, he took an extra look at Ling Jin.

Inside Ling Jin's body, he sensed a strange type of gas.

That gas seemed to have a reaction to Spiritual Qi.

Of course, Lin Chao just took an extra look.

Nowadays, his aura was restrained; even if a True Immortal saw him, they would think he was just an ordinary person.

Led by Ling Jin, Chen Longxuan hurried back to the research society.

At this moment, several people were sitting in the room.

Chen Longxuan took his seat and hurriedly asked: "What exactly is going on?"

A fat man spoke, smiling with his eyes narrowed into a line: "Ask Ling Jin."

"Ah?" Chen Longxuan was slightly stunned, complaining inwardly.

This Ling Jin didn't even tell him on the way here.

"You all should know that I come from the Feng Clan.

The Feng Clan serves the great existence known as Ling; this is not considered a secret, and many people in the outside world know it," Ling Jin said slowly.

"Mm," Chen Longxuan nodded.

Because of Ling Jin joining, he had specifically looked up the Feng Clan and knew about this secret of the Feng Clan.

"Some time ago, I returned to the village, and some changes occurred.

My grandmother said that the great existence we serve—Ling—has descended into the world.

So, my grandmother gathered all the people of the Feng Clan to search for the reincarnation of that Ling."

"A bit absurd," a man in a black jacket said.

"We are researchers of the Supernatural, how is this absurd?"

Ling Jin ignored the man in the black jacket and continued: "Of course, we searched for a long time but did not find that so-called Ling."

Everyone looked at Ling Jin; some listened as if it were a story, while others listened seriously, frowning in thought.

"Just today, my grandmother said she received instructions from the great existence and felt a connection.

Ling will bestow blessings upon Heishui Mountain," Ling Jin said slowly.

Chen Longxuan picked up a voice recorder: "Is this true or false? Your grandmother told you, why are you telling us?"

"I think it's fake, it sounds a bit like making up a story," the fat man said.

"A bit fake, because it's too coincidental; I'd rather watch 'Entering the Unsolved Mysteries' that I watched when I was a kid."

"Heishui Mountain is in Chuanqing Sheng, over a thousand miles away from us. If we just run over there because of a few words from Grandma Ling Jin, it feels like the cost is a bit high."

"Ling Jin dared to share this with me, so he definitely isn't playing us for fools.

Aren't we researching the Supernatural? Any clue we discover is worth going to see and trying out.

Ling Jin, do you think this is real or fake?"

"I think..." Ling Jin said with a smile on his face, "it's fake."

He naturally hoped it was fake.

He certainly didn't want to serve anyone.

Moreover, according to what Lao Hei said, that spirit's existence might not be anything special either.

It could only play god and act like a ghost in this mundane world.

In those worlds of Immortal Cultivation, it wouldn't count for anything at all.

"Ling Jin, even you don't believe it, yet you still shared it with us," the man in the black jacket complained.

"But this is indeed a clue regarding the Supernatural.

As it happens, I am going to follow my clansmen to Heishui Mountain. Since I'm bored, is there anyone here willing to go with me?"

"I'll go," Chen Longxuan answered directly without any hesitation.

"I'll go too."

"I'll go too."

Suddenly, three or four more people agreed.

Chen Longxuan teased, "If the spirit bestowing blessings at Heishui Mountain is real, you tell us about such a thing.

If your grandmother finds out, wouldn't she break your legs?"

"My grandmother said that the Feng Clan only serves the spirit.

The spirit's blessings should be left for the people of the world.

Not only am I promoting this outside, but other people in our Feng Clan are also promoting it."

"So that's how it is," Chen Longxuan was stunned for a moment.

Tianhai University.

Lin Chao sat under a shady tree when a crisp voice reached him.

"Lin Chao, I've found you."

Lin Chao turned his head and immediately saw Qi Xueyan in a brown miniskirt.

At this moment, Qi Xueyan had long, wavy black hair, and her slender legs were wrapped in white silk stockings; the white silk clung to her thighs, creating shallow indentations, with a small section of white thigh skin exposed above.

The wavy hair was originally a bit mature in style, while the white silk appeared fresh and cute.

Such somewhat incongruous attire appearing together on Qi Xueyan looked exceptionally harmonious.

Lin Chao smiled, "You were a bit slow coming here."

"Sigh, you said in the message to wait for me under a big tree in the West District.

There are just too many big trees in the West District; I searched for a long time before I found you," Qi Xueyan said with a sweet smile on her face, looking exceptionally lovely.

It must be said that Qi Xueyan could pull off many styles.

"I should have just waited for you at the school gate," Lin Chao said, picking up a parasol and opening it.

A smile flashed across Qi Xueyan's face, and she trotted over into the shade of Lin Chao's umbrella.

However, she still kept a certain distance from Lin Chao and did not get too close.

"The excavations in the Dahuang Mountain Range recently are about the same as before, but I heard that those experts have started looking for Heize's corpse.

In order to find Heize's corpse, it is said that they have transferred many more people in. My mother said they even hired some very capable people to go to the Dahuang Mountain Range to find Heize's remains."

During this time, Qi Xueyan often came to find Lin Chao.

However, the topics Qi Xueyan usually talked about were the Dahuang Mountain Range.

She knew that Lin Chao was more interested in these things.

"Is that so? It seems Heize's corpse is about to be found," Lin Chao said dismissively.

He knew that the information Qi Xueyan had was limited.

What she called searching for Heize's corpse should actually be retrieving Heize's corpse.

The location of Heize's corpse had already been determined by the people in Dahuang Mountain; they just couldn't retrieve it.

"Mm-hmm." At this moment, a look of disappointment flashed in Qi Xueyan's eyes, "I'm going back to Kyoto in a few days and won't be able to come play with you anymore."

"Transportation is so convenient now, isn't it simple to meet up?" Lin Chao said softly.

"That's true," Qi Xueyan nodded.

It was simple to meet up, but what if someone didn't want to?

At this moment, Lin Chao also thought of the butterfly bird, and then thought of Zhao Ran, as well as Wu Xiangyi.

It would probably be very difficult for him to see these people.

Lin Chao took Qi Xueyan around the campus, then they went to play games together and had a meal, just like friends.

Finally, Qi Xueyan pushed Lin Chao onto the subway.

"I want to watch you leave," Qi Xueyan smiled.

She didn't want Lin Chao to watch her leave from the subway platform; she didn't like that feeling.
