I Don’t Dare To Oppose A Protagonist Anymore - Chapter 58
Why did father pick this moment to come?
Lin Xiao looked at the almost naked body of Ling Luo, feeling that the situation was strange, however, he couldn’t find any wrong aspects. Leaving his father waiting for a long time wasn’t a good idea, so Lin Xiao hesitated for a while before saying: “Father, come in.”
Hearing those words, Lin Yue opened the door. And so, he saw Ling Luo who was only wearing pants sitting on the bed beside his son.
…What kind of situation was this?
Lin Yue looked at Lin Xiao standing next to Ling Luo, however his clothes were tidy… Why did it look strange?
All what he wanted to say was forgotten now, he could only stay at the door while staring at Lin Xiao and Ling Luo.
Ling Luo felt a little embarrassed. Just a moment ago he was almost being fucked by Lin Xiao. In truth, he came here with this goal in mind, and seeing Lin Xiao’s father standing before him, he felt…
Noticing that his father was dumbfounded, Lin Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he remembered that there was nothing strange between Ling Luo and him, so he swallowed back the words ‘Nothing is happening’ and asked, “Father, do you need something from me?”
Lin Yue was awakened by this question and coughed twice, “I just wanted to ask you, how are you doing with your preparations for tomorrow’s exam?” He actually wanted to ask this question and then chat with his son for a while, but since his friend was here, he will just make it short and leave after having the answer.
“Wu…” Lin Xiao frowned, feeling that he shouldn’t have problems with this exam, so he replied: “Father, don’t worry, I will absolutely be able to join Medicine Pavilion.”
“Good. Then I… won’t get worried.” Lin Yue silently sighed, before adding: “Then I will leave. Have a nice chat with Ling Luo.”
“Alright.”
Lin Xiao walked out from the room and closed the door. While walking, he frowned as the scene of Lin Xiao and Ling Luo staying together on the same bed replayed. He didn’t know why, but he felt a little anxious. It should be him who thought too much…
……
After father left, Lin Xiao looked at Ling Luo and frowned, “Aren’t you supposed to leave? Why are you still sitting on my bed?”
Ling Luo: “…” He got from the bed and dressed up again. He also had to go cultivate because the exam was tomorrow. “Then I am going to leave.” And then, he left too.
After Ling Luo left, the room was quiet. Lin Xiao sighed, suddenly remembering that Huangfu Shan hadn’t talked for a few days.
“Huangfu Shan, are you there?” Lin Xiao asked.
“Yes.” Huangfu Shan coldly confirmed.
Lin Xiao has gotten used to her coldness already, so he continued to ask: “What do you think of my cultivation.”
“…Barely enough.”
Barely… enough.
Lin Xiao pursed his lips. If his cultivation had to be compared with other people of his same age, then the level was pretty good. Other than the pervert Ling Luo… only a few could reach the same level as his.
“You only lack practice and experience, not like Ling Luo.” Huangfu Shan explained.
Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulder, already knowing that his combat experience was no match for Ling Luo. If he had time, he would go outside and train by himself. The more difficulties and danger he encountered, the more he could quickly advance.
Only by fighting he will become more talented.
Tomorrow was the exam day, so Lin Xiao went to sleep early, waiting for tomorrow to come.
{*******}
Medicine Pavilion placed the exam in their pavilion, because the people left weren’t many. There were five rows of pill furnaces, and those in the front were taken already.
As long as you liked a furnace, then you could go anywhere. As for Lin Xiao, the pill furnaces in the front and back rows were all the same, so what was the difference between staying back or in front?
Only three places were left on the fourth row, so Lin Xiao got ready to go there. Ling Luo was a little ahead of him, so he also reached the fourth row. When Lin Xiao was about to arrive, someone suddenly pushed him away… Lin Xiao raised his head to take a look.
It was Xing Xuanyi. After seeing Lin Xiao, she snatched the place beside Ling Luo with a satisfied face. Lin Xiao’s mouth twitched, but didn’t complain, It was just a pill furnace and it was okay for him if Xing Xuanyi wanted to stay beside Ling Luo.
However, when he was about to occupy the last seat on the fourth row, he spotted Cheng Yan, who followed Xing Xuanyi, holding the last place.
Lin Xiao: “…” Where did those people come from?
Without a choice, Lin Xiao headed to the fifth row. But to his surprise, he saw Murong Xue on the fifth row. Since she already was in the Medicine Pavilion, according to reason, wasn’t she supposed to stay in the front row?
Anyway, Lin Xiao reached the second seat in the fifth row.
As soon as Murong Xue saw him, she gently smiled, “I came late.”
Lin Xiao nodded his head while smiling back at her.
When Ling Luo watched Xing Xuanyi pushing Lin Xiao away, he frowned tightly. But he was sure that Lin Xiao would still stay in the same row as his. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yan appeared. But the most troublesome problem was that the person who Lin Xiao stood next in the fifth row, was Murong Xue?
How could he always see Murong Xue and Lin Xiao together anywhere?
Ling Luo felt that Murong Xue’s schemes were deep and that she approached Lin Xiao with a purpose which was not simple. Looking at Lin Xiao smiling at Murong Xue, Ling Luo felt a little disheartened. Didn’t he tell him to stay away from Murong Xue who was not a good person just yesterday?
Since the exam hadn’t started yet, Ling Luo frowned and left the fourth row to reach Lin Xiao’s side. Lin Xiao glanced at Ling Luo, who suddenly arrived, and asked: “Why did you come here?”
Ling Luo looked calm, “I just find the pill furnaces in the front not that good.”
Lin Xiao: “…” There were still good and bad pill furnaces in the Medicine Pavilion? But if Ling Luo said so, then it should be true, because Ling Luo’s perception was better than average people…
Xing Xuanyi didn’t snatch the place beside Ling Luo that easily, and the result was that Ling Luo went in the back row? She gritted her teeth, feeling quite unreconciled. Spotting Murong Xue, she suddenly realized, could it be that he went there for Murong Xue? Feeling that she was right, her hate towards Murong Xue increased.
She wasn’t from Nebula Nation and traveled here just for fun. Reading the recruitment announcement of the Medicine Pavilion, she joined there, not worrying about her cultivation. Unexpectedly, she was in the same team as Ling Luo. Seeing his cold face, she wanted to tease him. In the end, she discovered that this man’s cultivation was high, and made her feel comfortable. During the test, she was convinced that something would be born after a few days of staying together, but another woman appeared, Murong Xue.
She clenched her fists. She will never give up the man she liked. If Ling Luo chose Murong Xue, then she will ask her master to rob him back…
Since the fifth row was full, she stood in the fourth row unwillingly. Although Cheng Yan also thought it was a pity to not stay in the same row as Ling Luo, he didn’t intend to change seats.
All the participants came and the exam was about to begin.
Murong Tian was sitting behind a platform in front. Looking at the people below, he waved his hand and servants put a prescription on each of their desks.
Lin Xiao received the prescription and read it carefully. This time, the ingredients used for the Dan Pill weren’t scarce, but it was really complicated to refine. If he wasn’t attentive, he would ruin the pill. Thus, the exam wasn’t easy. But Lin Xiao was confident he would pass it, having the last life’s experience and the cultivation in this life. As long as he was careful in refining, then he didn’t need to worry about passing or not.
In this exam, many people have failed already and left.
Lin Xiao slowly refined the pill and only one step was left before he could succeed. At this moment, Ling Luo was the first one among others to complete the refining.
Murong Tian was amazed by Ling Luo’s speed in refining, so he personally went to check pills Ling Luo refined. After checking, he was extremely happy, even smiling.
Lin Xiao only shot a glance at Ling Luo and continued to refine with devotion. He was aware of Ling Luo’s talent already and being the first to succeed didn’t surprise him.
After a while, Lin Xiao also finished, and with him other three, four people. The ones inspecting the pill were the elders of the Medicine Pavilion. The one who went to examine Lin Xiao’s pill was a middle-aged man. After checking, he also smiled. It looked like that the pill he refined wasn’t bad, Lin Xiao sighed.
His inner gift wasn’t that good, so he could only be classified as better than average among the people refining the pill. As for being able to join Medicine Pavilion, they didn’t look at the speed, but also at the quality.
And the smile of this elder showed that Ling Luo’s talent wasn’t bad.
When the deadline came, those people who still hadn’t finished had to stop and leave, having no more chance to enter the Medicine Pavilion.
In the end, only about ten people were left… More than expected. Xing Xuanyi and Cheng Yan also passed the exam.
Lin Xiao looked around the hall, and then his gaze fell on Ling Luo. Ling Luo’s eyes were shining as he gazed at him. When he met Lin Xiao’s gaze, he smiled.
Lin Xiao blinked his eyes. Was he happy of being the first to have finished the refining? However, Ling Luo was happy because Lin Xiao had passed the test too, and just smiled.
Now that the exam ended, they could come back tomorrow to take the clothes of the Medicine Pavilion. The color of the robes were all white.
If there was one wavy embroidery on the shoulders, then they represented the employers of the lowest grade. The more pieces there were, then the highest the grade. Lin Xiao was sure that his clothes wouldn’t possess many pieces, while Ling Luo’s would have some more than him, because he was the first one who completed the exam and the quality of the Dan Pill he refined wasn’t low.
