CHAPTER 936: CHAPTER 936: DOES HE HAVE A PERSONAL GRANDPA NOW?

"When Lin Zifan falsely accused me, I wanted to explain, but I didn’t know how to explain in a way that would earn their trust."

Mr. Li was very troubled by this.

If he could prove his innocence, he would have done so long ago.

Why would he need to wait for someone else to help him?

Now the problem circles back around.

He has no way to prove himself.

Whether it’s proving his innocence on his own or waiting for Shi Yaoguang to help him prove it.

He doesn’t have any evidence to prove he’s innocent.

Thus, the issue circles back again.

Shi Yaoguang saw this and understood his difficulty.

But this wasn’t a problem, "I can make Lin Zifan personally testify."

"That’s impossible!" Mr. Li was almost certain, with Lin Zifan’s character, since he set the trap, he would never step out to speak for him.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean trapping him for nothing?

Shi Yaoguang knew his thoughts.

Since Lin Zifan chose to use extreme measures to retaliate against others, naturally, he wouldn’t make it easy for them, let alone testify.

However, stepping out to testify can be both voluntary and involuntary.

He wasn’t willing to testify voluntarily, but Shi Yaoguang could force him to come out involuntarily.

As long as Lin Zifan wanted to keep his life, he must come forward to clarify, otherwise...

Ha.

Even though Mr. Li felt it was unlikely for Lin Zifan to come forward, looking at Shi Yaoguang’s expression, he chose to trust her.

Maybe she really did have a way.

So what about Lin Zifan at this moment?

After delving deep into cultivation, he discovered some issues with his body.

It seemed he simply couldn’t cultivate.

This realization nearly drove him to collapse.

"This can’t be, how could this be possible?"

At first, he didn’t notice that his body couldn’t cultivate.

Following his usual cultivation path, after the Spiritual Energy circulated a few rounds within his body, he finally noticed that once the energy entered him, it only stayed for a moment before dissipating completely.

It offered no benefit to his cultivation.

Not only was it unhelpful, but it also accelerated his body’s consumption.

To use a figurative analogy, his body was like a funnel.

All the Spiritual Energy entering his body wouldn’t stay for long before leaking out again.

After a few attempts with the same result, Lin Zifan finally had to face reality.

Yet, he found it hard to accept.

"Could it be because I forcibly enhanced my powers?"

He murmured to himself but quickly shook his head to deny this guess.

"Impossible, even if I forcibly enhanced my strength, it would only harm my soul, not make me unable to cultivate."

Thinking for a moment, Lin Zifan suddenly had a hypothesis.

He was injured by Quan Jinbei.

Quan Jinbei’s attack power was extraordinary, perhaps that was why he couldn’t cultivate.

Realizing the root cause, Lin Zifan eagerly wanted to confront Quan Jinbei for an explanation.

Halfway through, he finally remembered a problem.

That is...

He couldn’t beat him.

If he couldn’t beat him, how could he confront Quan Jinbei?

After all, if Quan Jinbei dared to hurt him, he wouldn’t be afraid of him seeking revenge.

Thinking of this, Lin Zifan couldn’t help but get a headache.

How did things develop to this point?

He just took in a few more women, didn’t he?

How could a strong man not have a few women by his side?

Three palaces and six courtyards are not too much, right?

After all, at his peak, he could destroy a city single-handedly.

In other words, his power was enough to annihilate the world.

In such a scenario, as a strong man, shouldn’t he have some little hobbies of his own?

Why did Quan Jinbei cut off his path to glory?

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling Lin Zifan became.

This grudge, he must avenge!

While Lin Zifan was thinking this, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest.

Instinctively reaching out, he touched a ring.

The ring was something he had picked up at an antique market.

No matter how ordinary it seemed, he bought it merely to cover his true intentions.

He had his eye on a certain ancient jade, which, although looked like a replica, was nonetheless valuable.

So, he deliberately chose an old-looking ring as a cover while bargaining for that piece of jade.

In this way, he bought the jade with the money for a not-so-expensive ring.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to buy the jade with proper means.

But the shop owner wasn’t a fool either.

Just from the customer’s attitude, they could tell what price to quote.

In Lin Zifan’s view, this was a very normal strategy.

He was even smug about it.

Now discovering the peculiarity of the ring, he felt even more fortunate.

He always knew, with his luck, it was impossible to truly fall into a hopeless situation.

The so-called danger is always accompanied by opportunities!

Thinking this, he eagerly took out the ring to examine it closely.

The ring looked the same as when he bought it, not much different.

But now, the ring was quietly emitting a scalding heat.

He knew, this was undoubtedly his opportunity.

In fact, before he started cultivating, he read novels.

He naturally knew about the existence of the mentor figure trope.

When he first transmigrated, he also wondered if he would, like certain novel protagonists written by Tomato, have a mentor figure who could help turn the tables.

But unfortunately, he didn’t have such an opportunity.

But that didn’t matter.

Just because he didn’t have the chance before, doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have it in the future.

Here it was, his golden opportunity!

With this in mind, Lin Zifan couldn’t help but feel smug.

No matter how powerful that man was, so what?

Could he be more powerful than his mentor figure?

That was absolutely impossible!

Lin Zifan was extremely confident.

He was certain that with his mentor figure, he could defeat the man who had humiliated him!

At that time, he would press his woman under him in front of that man and humiliate her!

Just imagining that scene made him excited.

"Who are you? Why have you awakened my presence?"

While Lin Zifan was imagining conquering women, a wisp of soul floated out from the antique ring.

Although Lin Zifan had mortal eyes, he could clearly see the outline of that soul, which made his breath quicken.

It was truly the mentor figure!

His fateful encounter!

Lin Zifan tried hard to restrain his excitement as he replied to the soul, "My name is Lin Zifan, a cultivator! I accidentally awakened you, senior, and hope for your understanding."

Though he asked for understanding, Lin Zifan had no intention of truly letting it go.

In his mind, this mentor figure surely had something he needed help with.

At that time, as long as he made his request, he wouldn’t fear the mentor disagreeing with his terms.

Thinking this way, he became even more excited.

He couldn’t help but ask, "May I ask what your identity is, senior?"
