As soon as Wei Meidai thought about all this, she felt completely helpless.
She really wanted to go directly to Ling Jiaxin and the others, but then she realized that even if she went to them, it wouldn't make any difference.
Ling Jiaxin and the others didn't have the wealth to compensate her for her losses. What could they offer her?
As Wei Meidai had expected, Ling Jiaxin, Liu Jingkun, and Pang Yunxiang were also wearing troubled expressions at the moment.
Ling Jiaxin, in particular, was in a dire situation. After losing the bet to Baili Hongzhuang before, she was already penniless.
She had hoped that her financial situation would improve after Dai Yunyang returned.
However, she didn't expect that Dai Yunyang had spent all his money on auctioning the Expanding Meridian Pill and had no extra funds left.
Now she had to come up with compensation for reputation damages to Baili Hongzhuang, but where would she get the money?
As for owing debts, she didn't even dare to think about it.
This was something witnessed by the vice principal. If she didn't compensate, once this news reached the vice principal's ears, her fate would undoubtedly be grim.
While Liu Jingkun and Pang Yunxiang's situations were slightly better than Ling Jiaxin's, they weren't much better off.
They weren't born into wealthy families, and if they had enough money, they wouldn't have needed to rely on Dai Yunyang in the first place.
Now that they had lost their reliance on Dai Yunyang and had to compensate for such significant losses, they were at a loss.
Among the three of them, Pang Yunxiang was probably the most unfortunate. After all, Liu Jingkun and Ling Jiaxin had gained many benefits from Dai Yunyang in the past.
Pang Yunxiang had only recently joined Dai Yunyang and hadn't received any benefits at all. Dai Yunyang had already ended up in his current state.
When considering the time since he chose to join Dai Yunyang, besides being beaten up by Baili Hongzhuang twice and losing face, now he had to compensate for a significant amount of reputation damages. He had nothing else left.
Was there anyone in the world more unfortunate than him?
Dai Yunyang lay quietly on the bed. After attempting to cultivate again and finding that his dantian couldn't store a trace of elemental energy, he despairingly accepted the reality.
Ling Jiaxin looked at the once confident Dai Yunyang, and slowly said, "Yunyang, I can't take care of you anymore."
Hearing her words, Dai Yunyang snapped out of his despair and looked at Ling Jiaxin in astonishment, "Jiaxin, what do you mean?"
"You know it yourself, you can't cultivate anymore. It's the end between us."
Ling Jiaxin's voice was firm and decisive. Following such a waste would lead to a dead end. Not only would he be ridiculed everywhere, but he could also be hunted down by enemies at any time.
Even though her reputation was damaged now, as long as there was hope for cultivation, she could still secure a decent future.
Dai Yunyang couldn't help but hold onto Ling Jiaxin's hand, "Jiaxin, Pang Yunxiang has left, Liu Jingkun has also left, are you going to leave me too?"
"Yunyang, you know your situation well. I can't be with you anymore."
"You never know, maybe my dantian can still be healed," Dai Yunyang stubbornly said.
"Don't even talk about the impossibility of healing your dantian. Even if it's truly healed, how long would it take for you to start cultivating from scratch? Your life is already over!"
As these words were spoken, Dai Yunyang trembled, and he became completely dejected.
Ling Jiaxin was right. He was finished, completely finished...
