Chapter 99: Wang Ye, Help! Run Quickly

"Hey, Big Brother!"

Seeing Lu Linglong pulling Lin Xuan over, Er Gou's eyes lit up, and he hurried over to greet him.

"True Person!"

Xiao Xiao held his fan and bowed in greeting.

"Big Brother, come and judge this for us. Didn't you say to think about problems from the root? Then, in this Luo Tian Dajiao, isn't the probability of Zhang Chulan winning quite high?

This little girl actually gave Zhang Chulan such high odds; if I hadn't stopped it, I'm afraid I would have lost everything."

Cang Long turned his head, saw Lin Xuan, and hurriedly spoke up.

Bai Shixue was furious when she saw Cang Long complaining.

"Even so, it still depends on his ability. If his ability is lacking, then how can he win? So many people are watching; the Celestial Master couldn't possibly cheat openly."

"Keep your voice down!"

Lu Linglong reminded them with a dark face.

These two had no filter when they spoke; was this the kind of thing to be saying here?

"Ability lacking, are you talking about me?"

Zhang Chulan's voice rang out, and then he walked over with Feng Baobao.

Only after getting close and seeing Lin Xuan did he pause his steps for a moment before walking over.

"You said it right, he is indeed lacking in ability."

Feng Baobao looked at Bai Shixue with a serious face, then raised her finger and pointed at Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan's expression was awkward.

"And me too..."

After Feng Baobao finished speaking, her pitch-black pupils turned to look at Lin Xuan, and just as she was about to speak, Zhang Chulan coughed twice.

"Oh, oh, Xu Si said we can't ask for it directly. If we ask directly, they won't give it; we have to make that old monk return the money first, then ask for it."

Reminded by Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao suddenly realized and said.

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened on the side.

Damn it, she just said it out loud like that?

Zhang Chulan hurriedly looked at Lin Xuan, and then saw Lin Xuan looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Oh, the person in charge of the Huabei District wants to step in? Good thing. You tell him to come find me himself. I won't ask for much; I bought it for nearly one million, so asking him for one hundred million isn't too much, right?"

*Cough, cough, cough! *

A series of coughs erupted all around.

Even Feng Baobao, who was insensitive to money, had her eyes widened.

"That's too much!"

Bai Shixue said blankly.

"Is it? You all think this is a lot? Are you still talking?"

Before Lin Xuan could speak, Xiao Qing took out her phone to show everyone her account balance; that long string of numbers left everyone dumbfounded.

"I only get a few thousand in pocket money a month."

Lu Linglong said with wide eyes.

Although the Lu family was wealthy and powerful, Lu Jin did not want to foster the habit of his juniors being spendthrifts; at the very least, until they could stand on their own, their pocket money would not be too much.

Even Feng Shayan was very surprised.

Her father had previously had the thought of using money to build a connection, but now, forget it.

But it made sense, thinking back to when Lin Xuan gave Lu Jin a gift—starting with an eight-hundred-year-old Ginseng.

Plus, Baiyun Guan was truly wealthy and powerful.

But for Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, that was the end of it.

And with Feng Baobao blurting it out so bluntly, Zhang Chulan could barely stand still now.

He just wanted to hurry up and drag Feng Baobao away.

"If this were a game, I'd never be afraid of topping up money again."

Feng Baobao's thought process was different from everyone else's.

"So, shall I place a bet?"

Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Bai Shixue.

Bai Shixue gave an awkward smile and hid her phone behind her back.

If Lin Xuan lost, it would be fine, but if he won, she wouldn't have enough to pay him back even if she sold herself.

Cang Long naturally figured it out too, and now he didn't even mention that topic.

"Uh, True Person Lin, Sister Bao'er is just joking."

Zhang Chulan thought for a moment and offered this explanation.

Feng Baobao wanted to speak.

"One hundred million!"

Zhang Chulan said softly, and Feng Baobao immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Zhang Chulan knew that Xu San's choice was the correct one.

The man bought it with his own money, he lacked nothing, and he was very powerful himself; this thing was likely not going to be retrieved.

It seemed he would have to find a way to enlighten Feng Baobao.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan didn't want to stay any longer; he said his goodbyes and called for Feng Baobao to turn and leave.

"This guy!"

Seeing Zhang Chulan like this, the group of people immediately looked at each other in dismay.

Originally, they had been interested in Zhang Chulan's Origin of Qi.

But this person seemed a bit unreliable.

Especially after the news of how Zhang Chulan won his first match came out, the whole group was dumbfounded.

"Damn, what a shameless guy."

"That's so true, he's truly insidious!"

"Damn, why didn't I think of that trick!"

"Huh? Brother, are you alright?"

"Uh, I'm just kidding!"

Listening to the voices around him, Lin Xuan shook his head slightly.

Watching Wang Ye walk out, he raised his hand and beckoned.

When Wang Ye saw Lin Xuan, he turned to leave, but then seemed to think of something and came over instead.

"True Person Lin!"

"Just call me by my name."

"Alright, True Person Lin, this little brother has some things he would like to ask for advice on."

Wang Ye kept his posture very humble.

"Ask me for advice?"

Lin Xuan was a bit curious upon hearing this.

"Yes, True Person Lin, could we step aside to talk?"

Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Lu Linglong and the others, then nodded.

Feng Shayan did not follow, but Qing Bai Er She followed along.

Wang Ye did not stop them when he saw this.

Before long, in the woods outside the arena, Wang Ye looked hesitant.

Lin Xuan sat on a bluestone under a tree, watching Wang Ye's demeanor, and cast a glance at the tree nearby with a strange expression.

"Speak if you have something to say; if not, I'm leaving."

Hearing that Lin Xuan was about to leave, Wang Ye gritted his teeth.

"It's like this: if someone is trapped within their own Inner Scene, can they be awakened?"

"Trapped within their own Inner Scene?"

It really was this.

When Wang Ye first spoke, he had guessed it might have something to do with the Feng Hou Qi Men.

Back then, Zhou Sheng brought the Feng Hou Qi Men back to Wudang, and as a result, a generation of Wudang experts were attracted by the Feng Hou Qi Men diagrams, could not resist the temptation to practice it, and ended up trapped in their own Inner Scenes, unable to extricate themselves.

Simply put, it was a bit like a psychiatric condition involving delusions.

Only, these were illusions outlined within one's own Inner Scene.

"It depends on the situation. If it's an ordinary person who accidentally falls into an Inner Scene and can't get out, it's simple. If it's a Practitioner, especially one with extremely powerful life-nature cultivation and a strong spirit who falls into their own Inner Scene, then it's troublesome."

"As expected!"

Wang Ye sighed upon hearing this.

"Is there really no way?"

"That's not necessarily true. Besides the person themselves, someone who has mastered the arts of Qi Men can also help them emerge from the Inner Scene, but that would require the person acting to have a stronger life-nature cultivation than the one trapped in the Inner Scene."

"Then, True Person, what about you?"

"Me? I don't practice the arts of Qi Men."

Lin Xuan shook his head.

"Besides, there are people who can do it, they just aren't taking action."

Lin Xuan said.

"Who?"

"People from your Wudang; as for who, go back and ask your grandmaster."

Lin Xuan said with a light laugh.

Wang Ye was a bit puzzled.

"Of course, everything I just said is my own speculation; after all, I haven't practiced the Qi Men methods of a warlock, nor have I seen the person you mentioned who is trapped in an Inner Scene.

So, you'll have to consider the specifics yourself."

As Lin Xuan said this, he stood up to leave, then turned back to remind him, "Oh right, if you run into someone carrying a Shovel in the next few years, run immediately."
