Chapter 139: Nothing much! Just survived a lightning tribulation

~8 min read 1,423 words

Lao Tianshi spread his hands, looking innocent.

Lu Jin failed to find anyone to talk to, felt speechless for a moment, and turned his head to look at Lin Xuan.

Then he saw Lin Xuan sitting on a chair looking at him, his expression languid.

This attitude was a bit cocky.

Lu Jin stroked his chin and stared at Lin Xuan, pondering things in his heart.

Seeing Lu Jin's gaze, Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he then sat up a bit straighter.

"Actually, I also discovered some things, but this matter can only be with..."

Lin Xuan suddenly looked serious.

Fang Dongtian and the others were all startled.

"Then you guys chat!"

Fang Dongtian stood up upon hearing this and did not ask further.

"Let's go, old Lu, push old Tian out for a stroll!"

Fang Dongtian left with his hands behind his back.

Lu Jin looked at Lin Xuan, then looked at the Tianshi, and subsequently pushed Tian Jinzhong away.

"You two go outside and wait as well."

Qing Bai Er She did not ask further upon hearing this, turned around and walked out, then closed the door.

The door was closed, and the room became quiet.

"What do you want to say?"

Lao Tianshi had some guesses in his heart.

"You don't need to speak, just listen!"

Lin Xuan gestured with his hand, then stood up and paced back and forth a few steps.

"Just now, when I saw the thunderclouds disperse in the sky, I sensed chains composed of Runes within the thunderclouds, but they dissipated and vanished along with the thunderclouds."

Lin Xuan said, turning his head to look at Lao Tianshi.

Lao Tianshi did not speak, and his expression did not change at all.

"Last time you asked me if I had sensed a crisis or, say, a Restriction, perhaps that is what you were talking about."

Sitting back down, Lin Xuan weighed his words.

"If it is this, there is no need to worry. I know the purpose of the Celestial Master holding the Heaven Grand Ritual this time; the events of that year indeed involved a very wide scope, involving the deeper secrets of this world.

But actually, it doesn't matter; I should have a way to solve this."

"You don't understand!"

The Tianshi frowned slightly and spoke hesitantly.

"It's the people!"

The Tianshi was concise and comprehensive, seemingly truly unable to say more.

"I understand what you mean, worrying about the situation changing in the future, the problem between Outsiders and ordinary people!"

Lin Xuan nodded gently.

Lao Tianshi blinked and said nothing.

"Actually, I thought of this too, but in fact, this matter cannot be solved, and it is the same right now."

"I thought you could come up with a solution!"

Lao Tianshi hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"No, I am not a real Immortal. Besides, even if I were a real Immortal, I would find this kind of thing tricky. I myself am the type of person who doesn't like to stir up trouble.

I don't want to touch this kind of troublesome matter."

Then, Lao Tianshi tilted his head.

"Therefore, I have solved the most important part; as for the rest, it will naturally be done by you old seniors of the Outsider world. It cannot be that everything falls onto the shoulders of a junior."

"The Outsider world respects strength; seniority, status, and the like must all take a step back when encountering comparisons of strength."

Lao Tianshi's tone was calm.

"You are wrong about that, Tianshi!"

"You can't have all the good things taken by you, while all the work is left for the juniors!"

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and spoke again.

"However, I can't do it right now, so you, well, and the other seniors, also have time to think."

Lao Tianshi stared at Lin Xuan with a calm gaze.

"Alright, I've finished what I had to say! Oh right, don't forget that we are to spar after the Heaven Grand Ritual ends; let's put the matter of Zhang Chulan aside for now.

At least wait until the competition is over."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and then pulled open the door.

"Benefactor!"

Xiao Qing called out.

"Let's go!"

Lin Xuan did not look back, waved his hand, and left directly.

Er She followed closely behind Lin Xuan.

Lao Tianshi did not stand up, watching Lin Xuan walk away with a profound gaze.

"An Immortal? Truly an Immortal!"

After a long while, Lao Tianshi whispered to himself.

……

However, the Immortal in Lao Tianshi's mouth at this moment was busy dealing with the situation before him.

"What are you all doing?"

"Senior brother, the thing from before, you were the one who caused it, right?"

"Big brother, what exactly did you do?"

Lu Linglong and a few companions blocked Lin Xuan.

Then the Zhuge Qing brothers and Wang Ye also arrived.

Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan stood to one side watching this.

Feng Shayan and her younger brother stood beside Feng Baobao.

"Is this okay?"

Zhuge Qing asked Wang Ye in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Lu Linglong grabbing Lin Xuan's arm and shaking it in request, which made the corners of his eyes twitch.

"It's alright, this person is quite easy to talk to."

Wang Ye said subconsciously, but then he thought of his first meeting with Lin Xuan on Longhu Mountain.

He wanted to silence him the moment they met.

Although it was a joke, it really gave him a fright.

He had really thought he had stumbled upon some major event.

But thinking about it now, it seems he really did stumble upon something.

"Sister Bao'er!"

On the other side, Zhang Chulan saw Feng Baobao being very quiet and was suddenly a bit curious.

"Huh?"

Feng Baobao, who had pulled out a cucumber and taken a bite, was munching on it with a crunching sound, and turned her head to look at Zhang Chulan.

"Do you not want that Bead Bracelet anymore?"

"Don't want it, I don't want it now!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao shook her head directly.

"Why, didn't you want it very much before?"

"If I don't want it, I don't want it!"

Feng Baobao munched away, and when she turned her head and saw Feng Shayan looking at her, she shoved the half-eaten cucumber in her hand toward Feng Shayan's mouth.

Feng Shayan subconsciously stepped back two paces, avoiding the cucumber thrust toward her mouth.

"Fine if you don't eat it!"

Seeing this, Feng Baobao pulled her hand back directly.

She had just seen Feng Shayan looking at her and thought Feng Shayan wanted to eat it too.

"Sister, go for it!"

Feng Xingtong whispered advice beside Feng Shayan.

This then drew a murderous glare from Feng Shayan.

Feng Xingtong subconsciously swallowed the rest of his words.

As for Lin Xuan, he couldn't even get a word in.

The few of them were all talking at once, like a rapid-fire cannon.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you!"

Lin Xuan waved his hand, brushing Lu Linglong's hand away.

Hearing Lin Xuan say this, the few people who were asking questions suddenly went quiet.

"Actually, I just had a premonition that my Ascension was imminent, so I underwent a lightning tribulation, but to fully Ascend, I still have to undergo eighty-one lightning tribulations."

After saying this, Lin Xuan waved his hand.

"Done talking, don't follow me."

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he turned and left, and Qing Bai hurried to follow.

Lu Linglong and her companions were all stunned.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing also had their mouths slightly agape, their eyes vacant.

"Damn, it can't be true, right?"

Zhang Chulan was completely dumbfounded.

As a newbie who had just stepped into the world of Outsiders, although Zhang Chulan was smart, smart people are prone to overthinking.

"Mm-hmm, it's probably true!"

Feng Baobao was still nodding repeatedly on the side, expressing her agreement.

"True my ass, he's just fooling you all!"

Feng Shayan saw it clearly from the side, and seeing Lin Xuan beckon to Qing Bai and walk away quickly, they vanished in an instant.

Looking again at Lu Linglong and the others who had been fooled by Lin Xuan's words, she was left speechless.

Did these people forget to bring their brains when they came over?

"What if it's true?"

Feng Xingtong said weakly in a low voice.

"True? If it's true, I'll streak!"

Feng Shayan crossed her arms over her chest, looking confident.
