As Xu Yiming watched the old man with a hint of mockery, he suddenly saw the old man form a seal with his hands.
The next moment.
A Dao Seal gradually appeared...
The seal emitted a faint spiritual light, seemingly possessing immense power. A strong sense of oppression made both Xu Shengchuan and Xu Yiming feel breathless.
It was as if a heavy force suddenly pressed down on them, making it hard to breathe!
This scene made Xu Yiming, who was originally skeptical, suddenly widen his eyes in disbelief as he looked at the old man and the Dao Seal in front of him.
"This, this..."
He opened his mouth, dumbfounded.
He had thought the old man was just a charlatan, and that his father was senile for believing him.
But now, it seemed not so simple...
Moreover, this scene gave Xu Yiming a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen something similar before, but he couldn't recall when.
"Dad, this..."
Xu Yiming couldn't help but turn to Xu Shengchuan.
Xu Shengchuan glanced at him and said calmly, "Old Lin is truly a man of Dao. Not just in Linchuan, but throughout Jiangnan Province, Old Lin is a top expert! With Old Lin personally intervening, he can definitely help you remove the Curse Seal implanted in your body."
It was clear that Xu Shengchuan had full confidence in the old man, as if it wasn't the first time he had seen him perform such feats. His face showed no surprise.
And Xu Yiming couldn't help but start doubting whether he really had a Curse Seal placed on him.
At this moment.
The old man suddenly shouted.
Immediately, the Dao Seal in front of him flashed with a faint light, appearing above Xu Yiming's head, with beams of spiritual light descending from it...
However, before the spiritual light could fall on Xu Yiming.
A deep mark suddenly appeared on his glabella, emitting a profound glow that blocked all the spiritual light!
Seeing this, the old man's expression changed slightly.
He gritted his teeth, pricked his fingertip, forced out a drop of essence blood, and flicked it onto the Dao Seal.
Instantly!
The Dao Seal shone brightly!
The spiritual light, as if invigorated, forcibly suppressed the profound glow, even causing the mark on Xu Yiming's glabella to tremble slightly...
Seeing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "That was close! I didn't expect the power of this Curse Seal to be so strong. If I hadn't used essence blood to activate the Dao Seal, I wouldn't have been able to suppress it!"
The old man sighed.
***
In the rental apartment.
Ning Ruoxuan was sitting at an old desk reviewing her lessons, while Ning Wangshu sat nearby with his eyes closed, resting.
At this moment, Ning Ruoxuan picked up a digital watch beside her to check the time, seeing it was already past eleven at night, she got up to wash up.
However, she glanced at Ning Wangshu and couldn't help but say, "I'm going to sleep. Are you going to sleep on the floor or just sit there all night?"
Hearing his sister's words, Ning Wangshu immediately perked up, quickly opened his eyes, and said, "I'll just sit here. Ruoxuan, you should get some rest!"
Seeing Ning Wangshu's response, Ning Ruoxuan pouted and huffed, "Suit yourself! If you want to sit all night, go ahead. I won't bother with you, hmph..."
With that, she took her clothes and went into the bathroom...
Ning Wangshu just smiled.
He could tell that his sister was tough-talking but soft-hearted; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked if he wanted to sleep on the floor.
However, he wouldn't point this out, or his sister would definitely get upset.
Seeing his sister enter the bathroom, Ning Wangshu continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Not long after, Ning Ruoxuan finished washing up and came out of the bathroom. She glanced at Ning Wangshu leaning against the wall, hesitated, and sighed inwardly.
"I really owe you, how did I end up with a brother like you..."
She seemed to be complaining in her heart, somewhat helpless, but still went to the wardrobe, took out a mattress pad and a blanket, and tossed them to Ning Wangshu.
With a stern face, she said stiffly, "Make your own bed on the floor!"
With that, she turned and headed to her bed.
Ning Wangshu caught the mattress pad and blanket, was momentarily stunned, then smiled again.
A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
Whether he had a place to sleep or not didn't matter to him.
He didn't need sleep to recover energy; sleep was meaningless to him. But his sister's actions and words warmed his heart.
Even though her tone was a bit harsh, it showed she cared about him.
So, Ning Wangshu immediately replied, "Alright, I'll make a bed on the floor..."
As he spoke, Ning Wangshu prepared to lay out the mattress pad.
But at that moment, he suddenly paused, looked out the window, frowned, and his expression turned cold, eyes flashing with anger, "How dare they! Trying to tamper with my Curse Seal, courting death!"
Ning Wangshu snorted coldly, immediately forming an incantation with his hand.
Instantly.
A Dao Seal formed, flashed briefly, and then quickly vanished...
Even though Ning Wangshu could only use the power of the Golden Elixir stage at the moment, with the Curse Seal previously implanted in Xu Yiming as a medium, remote spellcasting was not difficult for him.
Meanwhile, Ning Ruoxuan, hearing Ning Wangshu's words, was taken aback.
Just as she was about to ask, she saw Ning Wangshu's incantation gesture and the Dao Seal that appeared and vanished, leaving her stunned, her pupils widening in shock!
"Ning Wangshu, what was that just now?"
Ning Ruoxuan looked up at Ning Wangshu, her face full of disbelief. Then, suddenly recalling something, she quickly added, "And what did you mean by Curse Seal? What's going on?!"
Hearing this, Ning Wangshu snapped back to reality, seeing his sister staring at him, he awkwardly smiled, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahem, Ruoxuan, this is a long story. I was planning to tell you in a few days..."
"Then take your time! I have time, no rush!"
Ning Ruoxuan took a deep breath, resolutely said.
"Alright then."
Ning Wangshu smiled, glanced at his sister, and said unhurriedly, "Actually, I wasn't lying to you before. In a way, I might indeed be considered a 'god' now..."
Ning Ruoxuan was taken aback, frowned slightly, but didn't interrupt Ning Wangshu, nor did she mock him as she had before.
After all, she had just seen Ning Wangshu make a strange gesture, and a peculiar mark appeared out of nowhere.
This indeed reminded her of those magical spells in fantasy dramas.
Seeing his sister remain silent, Ning Wangshu continued, "Didn't you ask me where I 'disappeared' to for those months?
I'm telling you now, for you, I was only 'missing' for a few months, but for me, I've actually been away from Earth for over nine thousand years!"
At this, Ning Wangshu's face showed a hint of bitterness.
Ning Ruoxuan was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief, "Nine, nine thousand years!? And left Earth?? How is that possible?!"
