CHAPTER 937: CHAPTER 937: DESPAIR, UNWILLINGNESS, AND RESENTMENT

"May I ask your identity, senior?"

As Lin Zifan’s voice fell, the soul entity floating out from the ring seemed to recall something, causing a ripple of emotions.

"Can mere ants like you know my identity?"

After finishing these words, the soul entity seemed to finally notice that the current environment was not quite right, and his expression suddenly became grave.

"Where is this place?"

As the soul entity spoke this, it released pressure towards Lin Zifan.

Lin Zifan was intimidated by the pressure, nearly kneeling on the spot.

And this, also precisely proved a point.

The identity of the accompanying grandfather was definitely stronger than imagined.

Just the soul entity could make him submit.

If his true form appeared...

The mere thought made Lin Zifan unable to suppress his excited emotion.

No.

His fervent gaze fell upon the soul entity, struggling to maintain an attitude of neither servile nor overbearing, "Senior, although I woke you from your rest, I’ve also saved you."

"Saved me?"

The soul entity no longer referred to himself as ’my true form’, and looked skeptically at Lin Zifan.

"What do you mean by that?"

Lin Zifan said, "Though I don’t know your true identity, senior, I assume you’ve been asleep for a long time and might not know the current state of the world."

As Lin Zifan spoke, he sneaked glances at the soul entity’s face.

Unfortunately.

The soul entity’s silhouette was visible, but his expression was unclear.

Lin Zifan couldn’t discern his emotions from his facial expression.

Fortunately, it wasn’t entirely impossible either.

This unknown identity of this powerful being, appearing as a soul entity within the ancient ring, and the ring ultimately ended up in his possession.

This signifies an absolute destiny.

If not divinely arranged, he could hardly imagine why he would encounter this soul entity.

What does this signify?

It signifies this accompanying grandfather should be his!

With this thought, Lin Zifan couldn’t help but continue the pattern he read in novels, wanting to become his disciple.

"My true form never accepts disciples, you should give up this thought."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zifan did not feel discouraged.

Liu Bei had to visit the cottage three times, Lin Zifan could humble himself and yield for the sake of becoming a disciple, why not?

These are merely tests!

Only by passing the tests can one reap happiness.

With this thought, Lin Zifan became even more excited.

His gaze at the accompanying grandfather was filled with fervor.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept me now, one day, I, Lin Zifan, will surely become your disciple!"

The soul entity seemed moved by his words, musingly said, "Since you persist in wanting to become a disciple, I could consider."

Hearing him relent, Lin Zifan couldn’t help but become more excited, "Senior, whatever conditions you have, please state them. As long as I can fulfill them, I’ll strive for it!"

Even if he couldn’t fulfill them, he would still strive.

Soul entity: "Show me your sincerity."

Lin Zifan: "??? "

Just this?

He stared at the soul entity with a face full of shock and puzzlement, clearly not understanding the soul entity’s meaning.

"My true form’s demands are high, not something that can be relaxed just because you have sincerity."

Lin Zifan nodded vigorously, "Naturally, senior, whatever requests you have, please put forward, I believe I can definitely make senior satisfied."

The soul entity scrutinized him for a moment, then said, "The first thing my true form requires of you is to activate the Blood Sacrifice Array for my true form."

"Okay, rest assured..." Lin Zifan agreed hurriedly, then reacted to what he just said, looking at the soul entity in disbelief, "What did you just say?"

The Blood Sacrifice Array, just from hearing it, was not something righteous.

Could it be that this accompanying grandfather was a villain?

Thinking this, Lin Zifan suddenly felt the ring in his hand was burning hot.

Being with a villain, what good end could there be?

Seeing Lin Zifan’s wavering heart, the soul entity snorted coldly, "Didn’t you say you can do anything? Backing out now? Haha! Wanting to become a disciple of my true form isn’t something you can just talk about!"

Lin Zifan hesitated a bit.

He recalled again.

Even the protagonist in Tomato’s stories, when encountering the accompanying grandfather, didn’t face such tests.

His golden finger grandfather accepted a disciple from the start.

Even if pursued by the Soul Hall, he was actually a good person.

But his own accompanying grandfather...

Lin Zifan covertly eyed the soul entity’s silhouette, a feeling beyond words in his heart.

Why was he so unlucky?

When others faced such situations, their luck was so good.

With the help of the accompanying grandfather, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, never disregard a youthful poor.

They directly reached the pinnacle of life.

But him?

He had nothing left.

The more he thought, the more aggrieved he felt.

No.

Things couldn’t continue like this.

Upon seeing Lin Zifan’s expression, the soul entity suddenly unleashed pressure once more.

This time, the pressure was greater than before.

Lin Zifan felt as if something pushed his knees, fell to the ground with a thud.

Five-body prostration wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

The soul entity coldly snorted again, "My true form doesn’t need disobedient ants around."

Originally, Lin Zifan had a harmonious relationship with the accompanying grandfather.

Such a statement thoroughly angered Lin Zifan.

"Senior, I have no deep resentment with you, why do you need to speak so hurtfully?"

Upon hearing Lin Zifan’s words, the soul entity sneered coldly, "No deep resentment?"

"Boy, have you forgotten my true form’s identity?"

The soul entity’s words left Lin Zifan stunned.

Then he grew even more terrified.

"I, I don’t understand what you mean."

"Understanding isn’t necessary."

The soul entity chuckled lightly, "You only need to know that my true form’s words must be obeyed, regardless of your willingness."

"No..."

Lin Zifan now fully understood that the soul entity in front of him was nothing like the accompanying grandfather he imagined.

This one was wholly malevolent.

If he entangled with the soul entity, it would be like seeking skins with a tiger!

There’s no way he could handle a soul entity that was already so powerful.

The soul entity noted Lin Zifan’s thoughts and sneered, "Weren’t you quite eager to become a disciple before? My true form is willing to give you the chance, and you now don’t cherish it?"

"But it doesn’t matter, my true form doesn’t care if you cherish it or not."

As the soul entity spoke, a black mist floated out from his body.

Lin Zifan’s gaze was fixedly on the trace of mist.

Just like that, watching the mist drift into his body.

He widened his eyes, wanting to struggle, not wanting this unknown mist to invade his body, but he was utterly powerless to resist, just letting the mist enter his body.

In this moment, his heart was filled with despair and unwillingness, with more resentment!
