Chapter 4: The Fate of Dust

Zhang Meng did not waste any more words with him, reaching out to grip Jiang Zhidao's arm, and with a swift motion, Jiang Zhidao exclaimed in surprise, clutching his arm and stepping back three paces.

However, as a lady, it is better to smile without showing one's teeth

Zhang Meng did not want to cause trouble; celestial beings, demons, and other such matters had nothing to do with him. Over a thousand years ago, he was merely a wandering cultivator, relying on his own efforts to gradually attain the strength of the third layer of the Nascent Soul.

"Take it away," Zhang Meng turned his head and smiled at Jiang Zhi, his tone already showing a hint of impatience

I am quite disappointed. I originally thought this young man was someone special, but I did not expect him to so easily accept a bank card with 100,000. This is truly far from my expectations.

When did you take me, Zhang Meng, as your brother?" Zhang Meng let out a cold laugh, and the expressions of the others immediately turned awkward.

Zhang Meng let out a sneer. Although this jade pendant possessed some spiritual energy, it was far too weak. At this level, even his current self could easily achieve it. However, since the other party had good intentions, he could not say much and simply accepted it with thanks.

I will treat you to a meal, and after we finish eating, I will take you to school

The demons are reborn through the Tuo She, while the righteous cultivators select individuals to pass on their teachings. In no more than three to five years, some cultivators and demons will reappear in this world

"Where to?" Zhang Meng was taken aback.

"Be calm and composed." Seeing the situation was not right, a few others quickly came out to mediate. One person reached out to pull Jiang Zhidao and said to Zhang Meng, "I say, Zhang Meng, aren't you being a bit too harsh? We are all brothers here; is it really necessary to go this far?"

Returning to the original dormitory with memories, several roommates were quite surprised upon seeing Zhang Meng, as they did not expect him to be discharged from the hospital so soon

Thank you. After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Meng unceremoniously put away the bank card

You are quite open-minded. Fang Ying smiled, reached into her bag beside her, and took out a bank card, placing it in front of Zhang Meng. She said, "This is my compensation for you, it contains 100,000, and the password is your birthday."

The heavens may bring unforeseen storms, and people may face fortunes and misfortunes at any moment. There is nothing to complain about. Besides, what reason do I have to cling to you? Moreover, this is entirely my fault

Zhang Meng grinned, it was that sports car that ended the vitality of this body, giving him the chance to escape... At this moment, seeing it again... It feels so damn familiar

Zhang Meng!" Jiang Zhidao shouted loudly, just as he raised his fist to strike Zhang Meng, he was already kicked in the stomach by Zhang Meng. Jiang Zhidao stumbled back several steps before finally falling to the ground with a thud.

Fang Ying quickly shut her mouth, rushed over, and stepped on Zhang Meng's foot, saying angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that you just got out of the hospital, I would definitely give you a good beating."

The beautiful young lady took Zhang Meng to a very upscale place, where his attire created a striking visual contrast with the surrounding environment, causing the other guests in the vicinity and the library to unconsciously direct their attention towards him

Let's go. " Fang Ying said as she opened the car door.

Zhang Meng used to be very self-conscious and was the target of jokes among a few people in the dormitory. Although they did not openly bully him, they nonetheless took advantage of him both overtly and covertly

Jiang Zhi Dao climbed up with his arm again, tightly embracing Zhang Meng and said: "Do you have her phone number? Tell me, did you deliberately crash into her car?"

In response to this, Zhang Meng appeared completely unaware, following Fang Ying with a smile on his face, calm and composed

Thus, when he understood the meaning in Fang Ying's eyes, he deliberately shattered that expectation

What is the difference? Zhang Meng raised his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Hmm, the taste is not great, the alcohol content is too low, it's not even as good as plain water"

Stepping out of the hotel, I checked my pockets and found only my ID card and student card, along with a few coins amounting to a little over ten yuan

Fang Ying ordered quite a few dishes and even opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate Zhang Meng's recovery

It should be. Although Fang Ying still wore a smile on her face, it was much more forced.

The other few people were completely taken aback. Is this still Zhang Meng? How is it that after just one hospitalization, he seems like a completely different person

I need to find a quiet place, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck me; I remembered that I could go out and rent a place to live.

"Are you happy? I have come to pick you up," Fang Ying asked with a smile.

Oh

It is a grave sin! As someone who pursues the path of immortality, if I become too entangled with ordinary people, it is certain that I will unnecessarily invite a great deal of trouble.

I am full. Moments later, Zhang Meng picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth

Well, drive carefully. After saying this, Zhang Meng left the private room

By the way, if there are any aftereffects in the future, remember to call me. Fang Ying seemed to say this casually

"Why do I feel that you are a bit different?" Fang Ying asked, her small face slightly flushed as she stared intently at Zhang.

Zhang Meng furrowed his brows and reached out to lower Jiang Zhidao's arm.

Where to go? My current cultivation has completely diminished; I should quickly find a place to cultivate in peace. Squinting at the murky sky, Zhang Meng knew that this seemingly tranquil environment would likely be in chaos in three to five years.

In the past, there was no money, but now I have a bank card on me

A month has quickly passed, and it is now the day for Zhang Meng to be discharged from the hospital

"What?" Jiang Zhidao was taken aback for a moment, and the other roommates, who were eagerly awaiting the continuation, were also stunned. No one had expected that Zhang Meng, who usually kept to himself, would react this way

"Not bad." Zhang Meng nodded. He still held a favorable impression of the first person he encountered upon returning to the human world, especially since Fang Ying was a beautiful woman

Jiang Zhi Dao gritted his teeth, wanting to charge forward again, but was firmly held back by others. After holding back his anger for half a day, he finally said: "Alright, you said this. Zhang Meng, remember it well."

"This is for you; from now on, you must be safe and sound." Fang Ying demonstrated twice, then took out a jade pendant and placed it in Zhang Meng's hand, "It has been consecrated by a master, and it is very effective."

On this sunny and pleasant day, when Zhang Meng completed the formalities and walked out of the hospital, he discovered a charming beauty wearing sunglasses, leaning against the door of a red convertible sports car, smiling at him.

Zhang Meng looked up at her and clearly saw the eager expectation in the somewhat intoxicated eyes of this beautiful woman

Last time, due to a moment of greed, I suffered the complete destruction of my physical body and lost the opportunity to ascend with the Xiajü. This time, I have finally found a physical vessel with excellent roots; it seems I must once again cultivate as I did before.

Oh, I feel a bit dizzy. You should go back to school by yourself," Fang Ying said, supporting her forehead.

Zhang Meng elegantly savored the delicacies of this world while engaging in a casual conversation with Fang Ying

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Meng decided to respond to Huada University first. It is a place bustling with people, a gathering of vibrant young individuals, and it is unlikely that malevolent forces would intrude casually. It is indeed a good place to conceal one's identity and avoid trouble

Looking at the back of this boy who seemed indifferent to everything, Fang Ying shook her head with a bitter smile. She couldn't quite explain why, but she felt a deep sense of disappointment in her heart

When the expectations and reality formed a stark contrast, Fang Ying realized that this boy was not as indifferent as he seemed. At least, not when it comes to money

Zhang Meng let out a slight sigh; it seems that school is not a very pleasant place to stay.

The time spent together in the hospital and the book left a special impression on her from this young man. Fang Ying felt that she could be friends with him, perhaps chatting casually when feeling bored. However, now... seeing him accept the bank card she gave him without hesitation, Fang Ying felt disappointed

"Kid, usually you don't make a sound, and you can't even produce a fart with a few sticks, but I didn't expect you to be quite capable." As I just walked into the dormitory, instead of a warm welcome, I was met with a somewhat lewd inquiry from a roommate. This roommate, named Jiang Zhidao, had one hand around Zhang Meng's neck and, in a rather ambiguous tone, asked: "Is that beautiful girl who bumped into you named Fang Ying? Do you have her phone number?"

A bottle of red wine, Zhang Meng only took a sip, and the rest was consumed entirely by Fang Ying.

The originally warm and lively scene fell silent in an instant

As long as one allows oneself a period of cultivation to acquire the strength for self-preservation, one can once again aspire to reach the pinnacle of the immortal path

Everything in the university felt both familiar and unfamiliar to Zhang Meng; the familiarity stemmed from the original memories of this physical body, while the unfamiliarity arose from Zhang Meng's own feelings

When Zhang Meng walked out of the grand hotel, he knew that he and the young girl named Fang Ying would likely have no further connection.

I can't quite put it into words, but it just feels like you remain calm about everything. Even after the car accident, during your hospital stay, and now. Fang Ying rested her chin on her hand and said, "At least I was the one who hit you. A normal person would probably ask for accountability after waking up, right? If I encountered someone unreasonable, they might even try to pin the blame on me."
