When Zuo Yi returned to Tenhiro Budokan, Shang Yulin and the Bao 'er were listening to Pipi's story in the office.
She was sitting in the office chair with the Bao 'er in her arms, looking very intimate.
Shang Yulin had always doted on her as if she were his own younger sister.
"Dad!"
Seeing Zuo Yi knock on the door and come in, the Bao 'er immediately jumped down from the chair and asked excitedly, "Did you pass the exam?"
She knew that Zuo Yi was going to take the "exam" today, and she was thinking about it!
Zuo Yi leaned over and kissed her, then said with a smile, "I don't know the result yet."
The headquarters of the Jiangnan Sub-Commission was almost smashed by Zuo Yi. Who knew if Wu Meng would be angry?
Anyway, no matter what the result was, it didn't matter to him.
Shang Yulin got up and asked, "Did it go well?"
She was naturally very confident in Zuo Yi's strength, but a woman's keen intuition told her that something was wrong.
Zuo Yi shook his head.
He put the Bao 'er down, touched the little girl's face and said, "Baby, take Teck and Pipi to the sword room to play. I have something to talk to your sister Yulin."
"Okay."
The Bao 'er obediently agreed and waved to the two little ones, "Atay, Pipi, let's go!"
After she left with the foodie and chatterbox, Zuo Yi closed the door and sat down on the sofa next to him.
Shang Yulin came over and poured him a cup of tea, then sat beside him and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"I met Ling Yu at the Jiangnan Sub-Commission."
Zuo Yi stared into Shang Yulin's eyes and said, "He's my combat assessment instructor today."
"What!"
Shang Yulin was shocked, "How did he go to the Wu Meng branch? Isn't he in the Longwu Group? "
"The Longwu Group wanted to poach me."
Zuo Yi replied, "But I refused, and then Ling Yu came. Senior, how long do you want to hide this from me?"
He already knew the basic truth.
Shang Yulin was in a daze, his eyes slowly turning red.
After a while, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "Two years ago, Ling Yu left Tenhiro Budokan …"
Originally, Shanghe had always admired Ling Yu. Ling Yu was smart, hardworking, and talented in martial arts. After Zuo Yi left, Shanghe intended to pass his legacy to Ling Yu, and let Ling Yu help Shang Yulin manage Tenhiro.
However, by chance, Shang He discovered that Ling Yu's character was problematic. It was just that he usually hid it very well. If it wasn't for this incident, Shang He would have been hoodwinked.
Because of this, the first conflict between the master and disciple broke out, and the relationship between the two sides took a turn for the worse!
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Shanghe to pass on the "Shang Swordsmanship" to Ling Yu. Ling Yu angrily said that life was full of ups and downs, and decisively broke off relations with Shanghe.
In fact, Shanghe still had fantasies about him at that time, hoping that he would turn over a new leaf, but in the end, it was all for naught.
This matter was a huge blow to Shanghe, and he was depressed for a long time.
"After Ling Yu left, we didn't hear any news about him …"
Shang Yulin continued, "Until he suddenly appeared more than half a year ago."
When Ling Yu appeared again, he had already become a special mentor of the Longwu Group, and represented the Longwu Group to propose to Shanghe that Tenhiro Budokan be wholly purchased.
Tenhiro Budokan was Shanghe's life's work. How could he sell it to the Longwu Group, so he flatly rejected Ling Yu.
The more the two sides talked, the more stiff they became, and in the end, they went up to the arena to fight.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yu's strength was not what it used to be, and Shanghe was not his opponent, and was knocked out of the arena.
At that time, Shang Yulin was not in the martial arts hall. When she got the news and rushed over, Ling Yu had already left.
Then, Shanghe fell ill, and not long after, he passed away!
In fact, his injury was not serious, but the depression in his heart and the recurrence of his old injuries caused his internal organs to fail, and he eventually died.
After Shanghe's death, Liang Xuemei fell seriously ill, and Shang Yulin took up the responsibility of managing Tenhiro Budokan alone.
Longwu Group did not let go of Tenhiro because of Shanghe's death, and secretly played a lot of tricks.
Tenhiro Budokan's instructors and students were lost because of this, and when Zuo Yi came, it was almost at the end of the line.
The reason why Shang Yulin hid the truth from Zuo Yi was that she was afraid that Zuo Yi would seek revenge on Ling Yu.
Not to mention whether Zuo Yi was Ling Yu's opponent, the power of the Longwu Group was not something he could compete with.
As a result, the situation of Tenhiro Budokan had just improved, and the Longwu Group and Ling Yu had appeared again!
Shang Yulin asked anxiously, "Have you competed with him?"
"Yes."
Zuo Yi replied, "I've crippled him."
He said it casually, but Shang Yulin was stunned. "How could that be!"
Zuo Yi explained, "In order to defeat me, he used his supernatural powers. You can say that he reaped what he sowed."
Zuo Yi's counterattack on Ling Yu's punch had returned all of Ling Yu's explosive power. Not only did it break more than a dozen of Ling Yu's bones, but it also shattered his source of supernatural powers!
The fiercer Ling Yu's attack was, the more tragic his injuries were!
Shang Yulin was stunned. "Supernatural powers …"
Zuo Yi smiled and asked, "Senior, do you know about supernatural beings and the inner world?"
He had already joined the Supernatural Authority and would inevitably be involved in supernatural affairs in the future, so there was no need to hide it from Shang Yulin.
Shang Yulin shook her head in confusion.
She suddenly thought of something and said hesitantly, "About a year ago, my father received a guest in the martial arts school. I remember that the senior was very special. Later, my father told me that the other party was not an ordinary person and told me not to tell anyone."
"He should be the supernatural being you mentioned. Could it be that you …"
"You guessed right."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "I'm also a supernatural being. Senior, are you willing to become a supernatural being too?"
"Huh?"
This time, Shang Yulin was so shocked that she had forgotten about Wu Meng and Ling Yu.
She was completely attracted by Zuo Yi's suggestion.
A supernatural being!
…
Late at night, in the intensive care unit of Hangzhou's Third Central Hospital.
Ling Yu lay on the hospital bed in a daze. He raised his head and stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling, motionless.
His right arm, shoulder, and half of his body were tied up with thick bandages. He looked like a 30% mummy cosplay, but his expression was at least 80% similar to that of a mummy.
There was no one else in the ward. There were only a few monitoring devices accompanying Ling Yu, making regular beeping sounds.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open silently, and a middle-aged man appeared in front of Ling Yu's bed.
"Teacher!"
Ling Yu's eyes instantly regained vitality, and even his face became rosy. "Teacher …"
"You've disappointed me too much!"
The thin middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Wu Meng has already launched an internal investigation. You've caused a lot of trouble this time, and the company may not be able to cover it up!"
Ling Yu blinked and tears flowed out of his eyes. "Teacher, I know I was wrong."
The middle-aged man sighed and gently pressed his hand on his chest. "Let me take a look at your condition first."
After a while, the middle-aged man retracted his hand with a livid expression. "Why is your super core gone?!"
The super core was the source of power for all supernatural beings. Without the super core, it meant that one was no longer a supernatural being!
Ling Yu was speechless.
He knew his own condition the best, and he had already found out on the way to the hospital.
However, Ling Yu still pleaded with his last glimmer of hope, "Teacher, please save me!"
"I don't have such ability."
The middle-aged man was extremely disappointed. He shook his head and said, "Do you know how much resources the company has spent to awaken you?"
Ling Yu did not know, but he knew how high the price he had paid to become a supernatural being.
Recalling the inhumane experiments and torture he had gone through, the resentment in Ling Yu's heart was indescribable!
Why was the heavens so unfair?!
When he was learning martial arts in Tenhiro, he was clearly smarter, more handsome, and more hardworking than Zuo Yi. However, everyone liked Zuo Yi, and Shanghe also doted on Zuo Yi more. Even after Zuo Yi left, Shanghe did not teach him the Shang Sword Manual.
For many days and nights, Ling Yu sweated profusely as he trained diligently, hoping to stand out one day. He wanted to prove to everyone that he was stronger than Zuo Yi!
He gave up everything for this.
Today, he finally stood face to face with Zuo Yi in the same arena, and he was only one step away from realizing his dream.
However, Zuo Yi's punch had shattered all his hopes!
Why did it turn out like this?
He hated it!
He hated it so much that his heart ached, and he gnashed his teeth. "Teacher, I want revenge!"
"Don't think about it."
The middle-aged man said calmly, "The Supernatural Management Bureau is also involved in this matter. You should rest and recuperate first. When you've recovered, I'll get someone to send you to Southern Burma to lie low. In the future, you can work for the company there."
Southern Burma!
Ling Yu suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his entire body was cold.
Southern Burma was a place of exile for the corporation. Those who had made a big mistake would be sent to Southern Burma to work. However, there were only a few people who could come back alive. Basically, there was no news of them after they went there.
He had been abandoned!
"That's it then …"
The middle-aged man did not want to stay a moment longer. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. I'll come and see you when I'm free."
Ling Yu did not reply.
He felt as if he had sunk into a bottomless abyss, and he could no longer see any hope!
