After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 247 Three Rounds of Interviews

"Master Shen, there's nothing seriously wrong with your health. Just remember not to engage in strenuous activity recently. You should be fully recovered after a few months of rest."

"However, your qi and blood are severely deficient. I'll prescribe some medicine to replenish your qi and blood. Also, remember to add some qi and blood-rich foods to your regular meals," Dr. Cheng instructed after examining Shen Xu.

"Thank you, Dr. Cheng. I will be more careful in the future."

After Dr. Cheng left, Shen Xu thanked Lin Qingxiang beside him, saying, "Miss Lin, I really feel bad that you had to personally take care of such a small matter."

"Young Master Shen, there's no need to be so polite. Consider this a thank you for being willing to serve my family! But Young Master Shen, your health is truly remarkable. When I first found you, you were on the verge of death, but I didn't expect that you would be fine after only a few days."

"I don't know why I recovered so quickly. Maybe there really is something wrong with my body." Shen Xu could lie without batting an eye.

"You really can't remember your identity? You remember all those stories so clearly," Lin Qingxiang asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I've heard that people tend to forget painful memories after experiencing a great shock. Perhaps my past identity caused me a lot of pain, which is why I've forgotten my memories of my past identity."

"However, if possible, I hope to start living in this world again with a new identity," Shen Xu said sincerely.

Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, Lin Qingxiang inexplicably thought of her father's suggestion from yesterday, and her cheeks immediately flushed.

Shen Xu was a little confused by Lin Qingxiang's reaction. He hadn't said anything, so why was the girl shy?

"Miss Lin, since you invited me here to tell your brother a story, may I meet your brother?"

"If you've eaten someone's meal, you should do their favor," is Shen Xu's principle. Now that he's eaten, it's time to get to work.

"Just call me Qingxiang, 'Miss Lin' sounds too formal," Lin Qingxiang said, mustering her courage.

“Uh…” Shen Xu suddenly felt that this conversation seemed to have happened somewhere before.

"What's wrong? Is it not okay?" Lin Qingxiang asked nervously.

"No, it seems like I'm recalling some past memories."

"Have other girls made the same request to you before?" Lin Qingxiang's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

"Damn it! Do you women have to be so sensitive?!"

“Miss Lin… Qingxiang, you’ve misunderstood. It was just some blurry images, and they flashed by in an instant. I don’t know what they were.”

“Since you’ve chosen to start a new life, don’t force yourself to think about the past. After all, you said those things are painful memories. I hope you can be happier,” Lin Qingxiang said earnestly.

Looking at the serious Lin Qingxiang, Shen Xu felt that he might have gone a bit too far. "Qingxiang, why don't you take me to meet your brother?"

"Well, Xiao Xi might have some issues with you. Be more tolerant of him when you go over there," Lin Qingxiang couldn't help but remind him.

"Why? We don't even know each other yet!"

"He's just being childish, don't take it to heart."

Hearing Lin Qingxiang's words, Shen Xu frowned. There is no hatred without a cause in the world. He was invited to tell stories to the young master to relieve his boredom. Logically speaking, the young master should welcome him. So why would he have a problem with him?

Is he annoyed that he's been eating his family's rice for free? Well then, he'd better show this kid his skills.

The Lin family home wasn't very big. Following Lin Qingxiang, he quickly arrived at Lin Xi's residence. To his surprise, the eldest young master of the Lin family lived a rather simple life. There weren't many decorations in the courtyard, and the most common items were martial arts training facilities.

There seem to be quite a lot of people here today!

"Mother, what brings you here!" Lin Qingxiang panicked upon seeing Madam Lin.

"What, can't I come to see my son?" Mrs. Lin said, feigning anger.

"No, but..." Lin Qingxiang was somewhat incoherent.

Ignoring Lin Qingxiang's panic, Madam Lin looked at Shen Xu beside Lin Qingxiang, nodded and asked, "Are you the Shen Xu that Qingxiang saved?"

"Junior Shen Xu greets Madam Lin," Shen Xu said, bowing to Madam Lin.

"They're quite polite. What do you do for a living? How many people are in your family? And where do you live...?"

“Mother, Shen Xu has amnesia. He doesn’t remember his identity or family.” Lin Qingxiang interrupted Madam Lin’s series of questions.

"Amnesia? That means his identity is unknown. How could your father bring back someone whose identity is unknown!" Madam Lin was genuinely angry this time.

"I'm sorry, although I don't remember my identity, I can guarantee that I will never cause trouble for the Lin family. I only feel gratitude towards the Lin family."

"That sounds nice, but you don't even know who you've messed with, so what makes you think you won't cause us any trouble?" Lin Xi immediately questioned.

"I can't really guarantee anything, but this is the only promise I can make right now. If you don't believe me, I will choose to leave the Lin family, but I will never forget the Lin family and Miss Lin for saving my life," Shen Xu said solemnly.

"You're quite responsible. I hope you can keep your word!" After saying this, Madam Lin left the courtyard with her many servants.

"Just because you've gotten past your mother doesn't mean you can get past me," Lin Xi said coldly.

"Is it really this hard to become a worshipper these days? There are so many rounds of interviews!" Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little tired.

Lin Qingxiang gently reminded him, "Xiao Xi, show some respect to Shen Gongfeng."

"He looks like he can't lift a finger, why should I respect him!" Lin Xi said disdainfully.

Shen Xu looked at Lin Xi in front of him. Although Lin Xi was a head shorter than him and still looked like a child, his muscular physique showed that this child was not simple at all. Compared to Lin Xi, he was indeed a bit thin.

But he didn't come here to fight Lin Xi! Wasn't he supposed to tell a story?

“Qingxiang, he’s right. He has no reason to respect me, but I don’t need his respect either.”

“I was invited by Master Lin to tell you stories. Master Lin said you love listening to stories, and I happen to have quite a few good ones here. Would you like to hear them?” Shen Xu asked Lin Xi.

“I have limited time, you only have one chance. If your story is not compelling enough for me, I will immediately have my father fire you.”

This kid is so ruthless, he's trying to force him to use his trump card!

He knew that Lin Xi must be eager to help the Lin family rise to a higher level and enter the upper echelons of Fumo City through his own efforts, so he had to address the root cause if he wanted to win Lin Xi over.

After thinking it over, Shen Xu decided to tell the story of the Seven Luminaries Star Saint. As the only half-saint in Xingchuan Domain, the Seven Luminaries Star Saint's experience can be described as inspiring.

Seven Star Saints lost both his parents at a young age and was forced to beg for a living with an old beggar. His cultivation talent was only average at the human level.

Logically speaking, as a beggar, he shouldn't have had many opportunities to come into contact with the path of cultivation. However, one day, the city he was begging for was unfortunately invaded on a large scale by demonic cultivators, and most of the people in the city were killed by blood sacrifice.

The Seven Star Saint was lucky enough to survive, but the old beggar who had been taking care of him also died in that massive blood sacrifice.

To avenge the old beggar, the ten-year-old Seven Star Saint searched through the corpses throughout the city and finally found a tattered Qi Cultivation Manual, which was the most popular cultivation technique for those below the Human Rank on the True Origin Continent.

He became a rogue cultivator thanks to the Qi Cultivation Manual, the Seven Luminaries Star Saint...
