Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"Hahaha, it's actually this kind of good-for-nothing!"

People started discussing it, and some even burst into laughter.

Even Wang Daniu and Lan Xin were stunned, their eyes flashing with disbelief.

How could Wu Heng be so bad?

"Such a good-for-nothing is quite a rare sight!"

Ling Shuixiong sneered and mocked, "The first-round winner is nothing special!"

"Manager Luo, he is not qualified to join the Zimu family!"

Manager Luo was also frowning, quite surprised.

As Ling Shuixiong said, it is indeed rare to see someone as useless as Li Lan.

No matter what, the Eternal True Realm is still a major cultivation realm. Most of the living beings in the world have lived here for a long time and most of them can possess "pseudo-yellow level" aptitude. People like Li Lan, whose cultivation path is blocked, are actually very rare.

But then...

Ironically, this person was ranked first in terms of temperament in the first round?

This put him in a bit of a dilemma.

"Go and invite Second Master here."

He spoke.

Before long, another middle-aged man arrived. He was Zimu Shan, the second master of the Zimu family.

After hearing the situation, Zi Mushan was also somewhat surprised. He personally walked up to Li Lan and reached out to sense Li Lan's pulse, bone structure, and dantian...

"Truly a once-in-a-century case of a useless body!"

He couldn't help but sigh.

These words made everyone around burst into laughter.

"According to the rules, this person is not qualified to enter our Zimu family, but he ranked first in the first round in terms of temperament. Therefore, we would like to ask Second Master to make the final decision!"

Elder Luo reports.

"It's not easy to have such a mindset... So stay in the clan and do odd jobs."

Zi Mushan spoke calmly, and then left.

Elder Luo turned around and immediately said, "Lan Xin and Ling Shuixiong can be formal disciples of the Zimu Clan. The rest are all nominal disciples. Li Lan... is a servant!"

Being a formal disciple means enjoying the same treatment as the children of the Purple Wood Clan, cultivating better spells, and having access to more resources.

Those who are registered disciples need to work hard and strive to become official disciples.

As for the menial servants... they were the lowest in status, and had no hope of ever getting a job.

"Heh, with such high moral character, he's ended up as a menial servant..."

Ling Shuixiong looked at Li Lan with a mocking expression, casually patted Li Lan's shoulder, and said, "I suddenly feel that I'm not interested in you anymore."

"Just focus on your menial tasks!"

After saying that, he left.

He was extremely arrogant. In his opinion, if Li Lan had performed better and become a formal or nominal disciple, he would have paid more attention to him. But now... he didn't even have the interest to kick Li Lan while he was down.

"This is too much!"

Wang Daniu spoke up indignantly, saying, "Brother Heng, don't be afraid. We'll advance and retreat together. With us here, we'll each share some resources and cultivation techniques with you. You'll be able to cultivate sooner or later!"

He was straightforward, but Song Ziwen's expression changed immediately, and he said, "Da Niu, don't drag us into this!"

Wang Daniu looked at him.

"We're just teammates here for the selection process. I have no feelings for him. If you're willing to give him your resources, that's your business and has nothing to do with me!"

Soong Tse-ven spoke directly, and after finishing, he turned around and said, "I'm leaving now!"

He didn't even glance at Li Lan.

"you……"

Wang Daniu was filled with resentment and said, "You ungrateful bastard! If it weren't for Brother Heng, we wouldn't have even made it past the first hurdle..."

Lan Xin's beautiful eyes were also filled with complex emotions at this moment...

Along the way, she truly admired Li Lan, even to the point of worship. Just now, a thought even flashed through her mind: what if Li Lan could also possess a Xuan-level talent?

But it's not even pseudo-yellow level?

She knew exactly what this meant...

Wu Heng was destined to remain at the bottom of society forever, with no possibility of ever turning his life around.

But she's different. Her Xuan-level talent can truly change her destiny, and she'll have a lot in the future.

There seemed to be some regret and reluctance in her eyes, but in the end she still said, "Brother Wu Heng, thank you so much for your help along the way!"

"No matter what, Lanxin will owe you a favor from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lan smiled calmly and said, "These are trivial matters, why bother with them? As for personal relationships, there's no need for that. From now on, Miss Lanxin should just focus on her cultivation and not worry about me or feel any psychological burden."

Li Lan understood what she meant.

Li Lan was destined to have no future, and now she uses a favor to end everything along the way.

In this way, she can walk her own path with peace of mind in the future, while Li Lan... is destined to be a passerby.

Li Lan has seen countless people and experienced countless things, so how could he not understand?

Having experienced the pain of severing ties with cause and effect, he was unwilling to get involved in anything further.

Lan Xin's decision was actually better.

"No matter what, Lanxin will remember it."

Lan Xin spoke first, then said, "Lan Xin is going to report to the Disciples' Hall now—Take care, Brother Wu Heng!"

She turned and left.

Wang Daniu was also somewhat bewildered. He couldn't understand why, in the blink of an eye, all four people who had traveled with him had left...

"Can't servants and disciples be friends?"

He murmured something to himself, then suddenly looked up at Li Lan and said, "Brother Heng, no matter who you are... I, Wang Daniu, have decided that you are my friend!"

Li Lan smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

The path of cultivation is incredibly cruel; people like Song Ziwen and Lan Xin are the majority.

Wang Daniu had only just embarked on this path and was still innocent and kind, but as time went on, he experienced the cruelty of the cultivation world, and people do change.

Li Lan never held any hope for humanity.

"Da Niu, you go report first, I'm going to the servants' quarters too."

Li Lan spoke, and the two immediately parted ways.

Led by a disciple of the Zimu family, Li Lan headed to the miscellaneous servants' hall.

He had already anticipated the issue of qualifications.

He severed cause and effect, but only greatly weakened the primordial power.

It can be said that the more cause and effect he severed, the less primordial power he possessed.

However, he ultimately couldn't forget his old friends, so he retained a portion of his own memories, and thus, some of his primordial power remained.

Although it no longer erodes his life and renders him unable to move as before, it makes it difficult for him to use his cultivation, and his body is even locked in place.

Of course, a mere spirit-detecting stone couldn't detect these things, so in the eyes of the world, he could only be seen as a useless person incapable of cultivation...

However, he was not in a hurry; all of this was within his expectations!
