Flirting? Master Yijie's Plea for Help

"Run!"

Seeing that their leader had been instantly killed by Lin Chen, the little ghosts had no will to fight and immediately scattered, wishing they had more legs.

"Run? You can't escape!"

Lin Chen activated the Blood Qi True Flame, enveloping his entire body. He turned into a streak of fire and charged directly at the fleeing little ghosts. Any ghost that was touched instantly turned into ashes. In the blink of an eye, all the little ghosts were slaughtered by Lin Chen.

Watching Lin Chen's overwhelming power, Chen Ping swallowed hard. "Are you really Old Lin?"

"Little Ping, you don't recognize your father after such a short time?" Lin Chen chuckled as he looked at Chen Ping and the other two.

"Holy crap..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping and the other two immediately relaxed. With that tone, who else could it be but Lin Chen?

"Old Lin, how did you get so strong?" Zhang Song asked Lin Chen with a curious look.

"I've always been this strong, you just didn't notice," Lin Chen shrugged and looked at the silent Fatty. "Fatty, scared silly?"

"So... so... stimulating!" Fatty gasped for air, his expression excited, and he looked regretful. "What a shame, I didn't even get a chance to join in!"

Lin Chen and the other two, who had been worried about Fatty, all had the same thought flash through their minds: Holy crap, Fatty actually likes this kind of thing. We should stay away from him from now on.

Whoosh~

Just then, the surroundings changed. The bar, deprived of its ghostly energy, transformed into an old, dilapidated, and dangerous building. Lin Chen and the other three quickly rushed out.

"Zhang Song, you idiot, you're leading us the wrong way!" Chen Ping said speechlessly to Zhang Song beside him.

While searching for the bar, Lin Chen tallied his gains. He had obtained a total of seven thousand Origin points. Besides the one thousand Origin points from the Second-order Ghost, the rest were from First-order Ghosts, each worth five hundred Origin points.

"Just one more wave would be perfect!" Lin Chen smiled as he looked at his status panel.

When they finally found the target bar, they discovered it had clearly lost the fiery and explosive atmosphere it had before. Lin Chen stayed for a while before leaving.

On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Chen sent a message to Xu Fei, informing him about the bar.

Hmm?

Under a streetlight not far away, a tall, attractive woman seemed to be waiting for someone. Lin Chen quickly walked over.

"Beautiful lady, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Lin Chen asked the woman.

The woman raised an eyebrow, her tone cool. "Classmate, isn't your pickup line a bit old-fashioned?"

"I'm not trying to pick you up, I want to help you!" Seeing the displeasure on the woman's face, Lin Chen quickly said, " I see a dark aura around you, you must be in trouble. I can help you solve it."

"No need!" The woman directly refused, looking at the figure approaching in the distance. "My friend is here!"

Seeing that the woman was about to leave, Lin Chen quickly spoke up, "You've encountered a ghost!"

"Hmph~"

The woman snorted and left quickly without even looking back.

"Good intentions are wasted on a stubborn fool!"

Lin Chen shook his head as he watched the woman leave. He could sense ghostly energy on her, clearly indicating she had interacted with a ghost. It was a shame the ghost wasn't nearby; otherwise, he could have directly killed it.

For the sake of a fellow student, Lin Chen had wanted to save her, but she simply didn't believe him.

"Xiao Xue, do you know that handsome guy?" the slightly plump woman asked curiously, looking at Lin Chen as he left.

The woman shook her head repeatedly. "No, he just came out of nowhere with an old pickup line. What a shame, he's so handsome."

The plump woman's eyes flashed with jealousy. A handsome guy like that had never approached her, yet this woman was being so picky.

But all of this...

After tonight, everything would be different!

"Let's hurry too, or Xiao Feng and the others will be waiting," the woman said, quickly pulling the plump girl and heading out of the school.

Meow~

A crisp meow suddenly came from the bushes, followed by a black shadow darting out and disappearing from Lin Chen's sight.

"Whose cat ran away?"

Lin Chen looked in the direction the cat had gone, a thought crossing his mind. Although pets were strictly forbidden at school, there were always some overly sentimental girls who kept pets or even fed stray cats and dogs.

As Lin Chen headed towards the dormitory, he didn't notice a pair of jade-like eyes staring at him from a dark tree trunk until his figure disappeared into the night.

Back in the dormitory, after a simple wash, Lin Chen had just gotten into bed when he received a message from Zhang Song saying that Fatty wasn't returning to the dorm tonight.

"Be safe!"

Lin Chen knew Fatty was going to have his fun. As a friend, the only thing he could do was remind him to be careful and not cause any trouble.

Night turned into day. When Lin Chen woke up again, it was already the next morning. His phone had several new messages, including the mission rewards, which also included the reward for last night's bar ghost.

Logging into the Cultivator Forum again, Lin Chen found that his level had increased, allowing him to browse and accept third-order missions. Lin Chen searched for missions while heading to the cafeteria.

While eating breakfast, his phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number, which Lin Chen answered directly.

"Benefactor Lin, this humble monk is Yi Jie..." A familiar voice came from the phone. It was Master Yi Jie, whom he had met yesterday.

Before Master Yi Jie could finish, Lin Chen hurriedly interrupted, "Master Yi Jie, calling so early, has there been any progress on the cultivation technique matter?"

At this stage, besides acquiring Origin, obtaining cultivation methods was Lin Chen's second biggest goal.

"Not yet, this humble monk this time..."

"Busy, goodbye!"

As soon as Lin Chen heard there were no cultivation methods, he was about to hang up the phone. What was there to talk about without cultivation methods!

"This humble monk has run into some trouble, it's related to Demonic Evil..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, as if he saw Origin beckoning to him. He quickly said, "Where are you? I'll be right there. Exterminating demons and upholding righteousness is our bounden duty!"

"Benefactor Lin, no need to rush. I'm already on my way to Qingzhou University and will be there soon," came the voice of Master Yi Jie from the phone.

"How can we delay in exterminating demons and upholding righteousness? I'll wait for you at the entrance!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen grabbed a steamed bun and rushed out of the cafeteria, running towards the school gate while eating.

Master Yi Jie was indeed reliable. Not two minutes after Lin Chen arrived at the school gate, a familiar off-road vehicle stopped beside him. The driver was none other than Master Yi Jie.

Seeing this, Lin Chen directly pulled open the car door and got in, "Hurry!"

"Benefactor Lin is truly eager to help others." Looking at Lin Chen's anxious demeanor, Master Yi Jie said with emotion.

Damn it, I'm afraid someone will steal my kill!

Lin Chen thought to himself. Yesterday, two groups of people tried to steal his kill. If he hadn't acted quickly, his gains would have been greatly reduced. Now he had some lingering trauma, always afraid of being a step too late and someone else getting there first.

"Benefactor Lin, the person who got into trouble this time is a devotee of our Vajra Temple. His daughter fell asleep last night and never woke up. So, he sought help from Vajra Temple. As it happened, this humble monk was in Qingzhou, so I went to investigate," Master Yi Jie said, his expression turning solemn. "His daughter is being haunted by a Ghost. That Ghost is quite fierce, and this humble monk's injuries have not yet recovered, so I don't dare to act rashly. Therefore, I wanted to ask you to subdue the Ghost."
