Chapter 905: Lay the Cards on the Table
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“There are many masters who practiced a spiritual style who damaged their meridians. Many of them are my friends. If I knew how to fix it, I would"ve treated them already. Why would I wait till now if I knew how to do it?”, Old Lin explained, “But it"s the same as the physical style. With cultivation you can reach the peak too. From what you a.n.a.lyzed, perhaps there will be something good behind that stone gate. Perhaps you"ll even be able to repair your cultivations. By that time, you"ll peak in both external and internal practices…”
“It can"t be that simple,” Lin Yi heard Old Man"s words and didn"t know what to say. It was like the Old Man was saying he could reach the peak within a short time, but was that even possible?
“So what? Do you want me to tell you that there"s no hope for you and you should come home to farm for me?” The Old Man rolled his eyes, “Look at your master. Didn"t I cultivate external style first then internal style, later becoming a master of both styles?”
“Both styles…” Lin Yi sweated. This old man was surely fearless!
“Well, that"s all I have to say, have a think yourself,” Old Man Lin said, “Looked at Er Goudan, isn"t he a master of external style? Isn"t he doing fine?”
“He… Can you replicate that? Do you have more of that medicine?” Lin Yi also rolled his eyes.
“No!” Old Man Lin replied straightforwardly, “Although I can try to brew more, it"s not my business if you die from it.”
“…” Lin Yi couldn"t even get angry and felt much better, “Alright Old Man, I"ll leave after I pack up and think of what to do when I"m back!”
“Hmm… It"s best if you can get over it. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome!” Old Lin said, “If nothing works, I"ll make Er Goudan travel around the world with you. He"ll be your bodyguard and you can be a playful master, that"s cool!”
“…” Lin Yi immediately hung up.
However, Lin Yi decided that he was going home.
Although he had only been in Songshan for more than a month, he met many people here… This period of time was extremely precious to him and it was enough for him to think back to this entire life.
The beautiful yet strong-willed Tang Yun, cold on the outside but warm on the inside; the understanding Miss; the cute and energetic Shu; and even Song Lingshan who always worked against him but was now extremely obedient…
As well as Guan Xin, Feng Xiaoxiao, w.a.n.g Xinyan, Sun Jingyi…
Will these people become part of his life?
Kang Xiaobo, Fatty Lai, Yang Huaijun and Guan Mingxue…what will they do after he was gone?
No wonder his Old Man said that he could retire in peace after completing this mission. He thought that it was easy, but now it wasn"t the case at all!
Sitting in the familiar mansion, Lin Yi suddenly became sentimental. Perhaps he would leave tomorrow…
Lin Yi remembered a poem,
very quietly I take my leave, as quietly as I came here; gently I flick my sleeves, not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.
Lin Yi thought that it was time for him to lay the cards on the table with Miss. there were some things that he needed to say! He needed to get ready before the enemies realise that his power was gone.
At night, Miss, Chen Yushu and Tang Yun all woke up. They went downstairs and saw Lin Yi watching TV on the couch in an extremely relaxed manner, they felt much better.
“Lin Yi, you are fine now?” Chu Mengyao and Tang Yun were happy.
“Mhm. Physical injuries are fine now…” Lin Yi only said his physical injuries were fine but didn"t mention his cultivations. He had to talk about this separately with Tang Yun and Miss.
“That"s good…” Tang Yun nodded, “What do you want to eat? I"ll cook for you?”
“I"m fine. I made myself instant noodles just then and I"m not hungry yet,” Lin Yi stood up, “Yunyun, do you want to check back at home first? You"ve been here for three days, your parents must be worried.”
Tang Yun heard Lin Yi"s words and felt down. Was he chasing her out? Lin Yi usually never called her Yunyun in front of others and she thought that something was wrong.
It wasn"t her fault for thinking like this. Lin Yi just woke up and she wanted to talk more with him, but Lin Yi told her to go home… Tang Yun felt upset and became envious of Miss and Chen Yushu.
“Okay…” Tang Yun nodded obediently.
“I"ll have dinner with you later, go and check with your parents first.” Lin Yi could see that she was upset and knew that she misunderstood him. He didn"t have a way to explain it to all three of them at the same time and decided to talk with Lin Yi later.
Tang Yun heard that and she became happy again. She nodded, “Okay, I"ll wait for your call…”
Lin Yi"s odd actions also confused Chu Mengyao and she didn"t speak until Tang Yun left, “Why did you tell her to leave? I wanted to treat you guys something to celebrate your recovery…”
After staying under the same roof for three days, Miss and Tang Yun developed a subtle friends.h.i.+p.
“There"s no rush,” Lin Yi shook his head and his expression became serious, “Yaoyao, Shu, there is something important I need to tell you!”
“What is it?” Chu Mengyao never thought that Lin Yi would talk so seriously to her and she wasn"t used to it, “Just tell us…”
“Exactly. s.h.i.+eld bro, you are scaring me!” Chen Yushu also didn"t like Lin Yi"s tone of voice.
“Ha…” Lin Yi smiled bitterly, “Then I"ll tell you the truth. Although my injuries are recovered, I"ve lost my cultivation…”
“Lost your cultivation? What do you mean?” Chu Mengyao froze as she didn"t know what Lin Yi meant.
“In simple words, I"m like an ordinary person now…” Lin Yi faked a light tone, “When I was fighting Ma Zhu, the last blow wasn"t my ace card or anything like that, I used it hoping that he would die with me. Although I"m still alive, the explosion left both of us in an extremely bad situation. Ma Zhu is now disabled, and I"m not any better than him. I"ve basically lost all my powers…”
“What? You are back to an ordinary person?!” Chu Mengyao was shocked. She now understood it after Lin Yi explained, “What do you have to do to regain it?”
