Otherwise, a single use of Divine Sense could have made the people inside hallucinate and open the door on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Jiang Ning could not do it, he decided to stand at the door and cultivate while waiting for Ding Shuyan to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about an hour, during which Jiang Ning had swallowed a Qi Gathering Pill,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he said, \"She's coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator stopped at the 16th floor; his Divine Sense struggled to pass through the elevator's steel walls, and a silhouette appeared within his perception, making it out to be Ding Shuyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ding Shuyan felt a chilling sensation, and her bright eyes hid a hint of terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The premonition from her Sixth Sense had appeared again, stronger than ever before, with an almost overwhelming malevolence causing her body to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enveloped by Jiang Ning's Divine Sense, he naturally noticed the changes in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's surprising. I didn't expect to find someone with such a sensitive Sixth Sense in the modern world.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People born with a sensitive Sixth Sense often trust their instincts to the point of paranoia, as they have never been wrong before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Then it's not surprising. The person who directed Lin Zida to investigate me is Ding Shuyan.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning truly felt a bit unlucky. The first time he took action in the modern world, he was detected—what kind of luck was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he known this would happen, he would have acted somewhere deserted from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the elevator doors slowly opened, Ding Shuyan, merely a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, although braver than most, was particularly terrified after realizing someone had spied on her in the confined elevator space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constant sensation of being watched, alerting her continuously, forced her to take a deep breath as she stepped out of the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning, still concealing his form, focused on Ding Shuyan and squinted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly moved, his Spiritual Power transforming into a large hand, grabbing Ding Shuyan's fair neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Shuyan trembled, her dark eyes flickering, trying to locate the person in the shadows, but only the continuous warnings from her Sixth Sense reached her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unknown fear enveloped her, as if death might take her at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's definitely the Invisible Man, he knows I'm investigating him, and now he's come for me!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of regret suddenly surged in Ding Shuyan's heart; she had trusted her Sixth Sense too much, thus sending someone to investigate the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had overlooked that if the person she was investigating was a transcendent being, then once detected, they would definitely come for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation of being choked around her neck continuously reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person had come for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What fate awaited her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received an elite education since childhood, Ding Shuyan had thought she was not afraid of death. However, when the real pressure of death struck, she was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feared enduring severe torment; she feared a disgraceful death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he Jiang Ning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of who it was, she needed to escape; otherwise, facing a transcendent existence, her end would be miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen much of the world and knew the dark side of human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Shuyan slowly moved her feet, inching toward the door—a few meters away, which took her a full five minutes to reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers pressed on the door lock, the fingerprint recognition unlocking the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to immediately flee into the house, but the choking on her neck became fiercer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Shuyan closed the door, but her mood did not improve at all; she knew that the shadow had followed her into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're back!\" Lin Zida said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Shuyan felt the choking sensation on her neck ease considerably, but it still hovered in front of her, ready to clamp down at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unchanged in expression, she responded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, I'm back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zida stepped closer, and Ding Shuyan knew he wanted to talk to her about the investigation. She wanted to stop him but dared not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worried that the Invisible Man would kill everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had Wang Yong check—Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong get along very well and always go home together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That night, Song Sheng had a fight with their classmates, knocked into Xue Yuantong's desk, and Xue Yuantong was hit by the desk. Then Jiang Ning stepped forward and made Song Sheng apologize,\" Lin Zida said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been earlier, Ding Shuyan would have been pleased to hear this news, since it filled in her deduction and made things seem more reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This game, entirely at her manipulation, would become all the more interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she wished she could block it all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Zida spoke up, her investigation of Jiang Ning was completely exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that person was right by her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I get it,\" Ding Shuyan said with inner sadness, though her face showed nothing; her aunt had taught her early on how to keep her expression unchanging, like Taishan collapsing in front of her without altering her color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zida didn't notice and continued to play his game; he had recently found another game called 'Dark Souls' which was increasingly addictive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Shuyan walked into her room and closed the door behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she leaned back in her chair, facing the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a low voice, Ding Shuyan muttered, \"You can kill me, but I remind you, I've backed up the investigation files in the mailbox. If anything happens to me, my aunt will take over, and with her capabilities, she will definitely catch you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning laughed. Did she dare threaten him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of Spiritual Power clenched Ding Shuyan's mouth as Jiang Ning activated his Divine Sense, and a Shocking God Stab struck her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Shuyan's Sixth Sense wildly warned her, and the next instant, a soul-wrenching pain descended upon her. She groaned, her mouth gagged, and her delicate body trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, she could finally breathe; the sweat on Ding Shuyan's forehead soaked her hair, clinging to her face, her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes weary, possessing a disturbing, chaotic beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pen on the desk moved without wind, revealing a line of writing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Continue investigating, and die.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Shuyan stared at the line for a long time, wordless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the proud air she had cultivated from childhood utterly shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought she was different, priding herself on seeing through the laws of social operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her peers seemed naive and ignorant in comparison; she thought she towered above them, the player of the chess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she realized that her intelligence, beauty, experience, and family background were useless under the stark difference in absolute power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jiang Ning wanted her dead, she would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sensation of having her life controlled by someone else was overwhelmingly oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, she said in a hoarse voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not investigate you anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any trace of you, I will erase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please spare me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That pain, having experienced it once, she did not want to endure it a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she finally understood why Song Sheng had screamed on the sports field; he had faced the same attack that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person, a Transcendent, she was sure it was Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Ding Shuyan dared not utter a word, knowing that once she spoke the name, she would undoubtedly die today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white pill fell onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another line of writing appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Swallow it, prove your sincerity, or die.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Shuyan looked at the white pill, knowing it must be some sort of poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she swallowed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shadows, Jiang Ning's expression remained cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he considered the option of killing Ding Shuyan, but then thought killing her might bring even more investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be better to cut it off here; Ding Shuyan was intelligent, and alive, she was more useful than dead.\u003C\u002Fp>",1629,"2026-05-30T14:39:42.290Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","0a35286f385c898c9eef2b3ec11df915285e211fb2f2609e71ab83d3c84bfe14","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-38","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-36",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
