Chapter 002 An Unpleasant Guest Arrives
A boy, not even ten years old, ran into the room. Seeing Lin Fei awake, the boy was unusually excited: "Senior brother, senior brother, you're finally awake! The other senior brothers all said that you accidentally fell off a cliff and that you might never wake up again!"
Lin Fei quickly found information about the little guy in his memory.
Mingtong, the Daoist boy who entered the Xuanxin Jade Emperor Sect with him, was not favored because of his dull nature, so he was also assigned to the Wenqu Temple. Within the Jade Emperor Sect, this little guy was his only friend.
"Accidentally fell off a cliff?" Lin Fei thought to himself with a cold laugh. If it weren't for those guys interfering, how could he have fallen off a cliff?
Thankfully, I transmigrated and took over this body. Otherwise, I really would have never woken up again, just like those guys said.
Xiao Ming's eyes were red and he was extremely excited when he saw Lin Fei wake up.
Seeing him like this, Lin Fei couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. He patted the little guy's head and said, "Alright, stop crying. Your senior brother has woken up, hasn't he? Everything will be alright from now on!"
"Oh right, I need to get Senior Brother Mingzheng to come and take a look right away!" Xiao Mingtong seemed to remember something and jumped up suddenly: "Senior Brother, your injuries are serious, we can't let them leave any aftereffects!"
"Hey!" Lin Fei was about to speak and call out to the little guy, but he had already run out in a flash, leaving Lin Fei no chance to speak.
Lin Fei smiled helplessly, feeling a surge of emotion—in this place, the little guy was probably the only one who was genuinely kind to him.
……
When Mingtong returned, a Taoist priest dressed in a white robe was following behind him.
Within the Jade Emperor Sect, people like Lin Fei and Ming Tong are only considered nominal disciples, wearing gray Daoist robes. Those wearing white robes are the formal disciples of the eighteen temples of the Jade Emperor. Above them, the elders and senior disciples of each temple wear seven-star Daoist robes.
The person who followed Mingtong in was Mingzheng, the chief disciple of Wenqu Temple.
Behind Mingzheng, there were many other heads peeking in from outside the door. When Lin Fei saw those heads, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes—those were the people who usually bullied him, and even the culprit who caused him to fall off the cliff that day was among them.
Lin Fei composed himself, ignoring the guys outside, and instead placed a Ziwu seal on Mingzheng, who had just walked in: "Senior Brother Mingzheng."
Mingzheng returned the greeting: "Junior Brother Mingxin is still recovering from his serious injuries, there's no need for such formalities."
As she spoke, she took Lin Fei's hand and earnestly advised, "Junior Brother Mingxin, you must take care of your body in the future. Although earning contribution points will help your cultivation, everything in excess is as bad as deficiency. If you damage your foundation, then..."
Mingzheng had only spoken halfway when he froze on the spot: "This, how is this possible? Junior Brother Mingxin, you..."
Mingzheng stared blankly at Lin Fei, completely stunned—Lin Fei's injuries, even if he woke up, would probably keep him bedridden for several months. But after examining him, Mingzheng discovered that Lin Fei's injuries had already healed!
Lin Fei naturally couldn't reveal anything about the system to outsiders, so he could only pretend to be clueless: "Senior brother, what's wrong?"
Mingzheng seemed to suddenly remember something, and sighed, "It seems that it was that senior uncle who made the move. What a blessing! Junior brother's injuries are no longer serious and he won't suffer any aftereffects. This is truly a blessing for junior brother."
Lin Fei knew that Mingzheng was referring to Daoist Yuanyi, who had taken him up the mountain. He was happy to push all the blame onto that person to avoid being questioned, so he simply smiled and didn't answer.
“Junior Brother has just recovered from his serious injury, so you don’t need to attend the evening study session tonight. Let’s have the morning class together tomorrow!” Mingzheng smiled and nodded to Lin Fei. “I won’t disturb Junior Brother’s rest any longer. I’ll take my leave now.”
"Take care, senior brother." Lin Fei had no problem with Mingzheng. He was an extremely upright person, or to put it bluntly, pedantic.
He definitely had no involvement in framing Lin Fei. Even now, Ming Zheng still believed that Lin Fei had forcibly moved a large amount of firewood in order to earn more sect contributions, and had accidentally fallen off the cliff.
After Mingzheng left, the group of guys who had been peeking in from outside swaggered in.
The person in charge was none other than Ming Chen, the culprit who caused Lin Fei to fall off the cliff that day.
With the chief disciple Mingzheng here, they naturally didn't dare to act rashly. But after Mingzheng left, they revealed their true colors, laughing in a sarcastic and mocking way.
"Junior Brother Mingxin is truly fortunate. With the help of his martial uncle, he has been spared from death!"
"Who says otherwise! Hehe, those who get in through connections are definitely different from us!"
"Junior Brother Mingxin, you must be careful in the future, lest you slip and fall while walking. It's not always your Uncle who will come to your aid!"
……
At this point, the group burst into laughter.
Ming Chen, who was in the lead, said to Lin Fei, "Ming Xin, you good-for-nothing, you're lucky this time! When the senior brothers and uncles of Xingzhi Temple ask you about it, you know what to say, right?"
Looking at these lawless bastards, Lin Fei felt a surge of murderous intent rising in his heart.
They were bullying the original owner of this body, but now, Lin Fei will absolutely not let them bully him!
"Oh right, the 1,000 experience points the system just gave me can come in handy!" Lin Fei's eyes lit up as he immediately remembered that the newbie gift pack the system had just given him contained 1,000 experience points.
The moment Lin Fei made that thought, the system notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding!"
"Host's current cultivation level is the first stage of the Meridian Opening Realm. Do you wish to use experience points to level up? (Current remaining experience points: 1000; remaining experience points required for leveling up: 150!)"
……
"Level up! Use all the remaining experience points!" Lin Fei said without hesitation. Looking at those arrogant guys in his room, he just wanted to teach them a lesson.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations on your level increase, host! Your current level is the second stage of the Meridian Opening Realm!"
"Congratulations on your level increase, host! Your current level is the third stage of the Meridian Opening Realm!"
"Congratulations, host, on successfully opening the three Yin meridians of the hand! You will receive an additional 100 experience points and an additional 100 merit points!"
"Congratulations on your level increase! Your current level is the fourth stage of the Meridian Opening Realm!"
……
Amidst the continuous system notifications, Lin Fei's level steadily increased until it reached three levels before stopping.
"Today is the day you lot reap what you sow!" Lin Fei felt an incredibly powerful energy surge through his body and sneered inwardly.
