Lina left, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded onlookers.
They were a bit stunned, both surprised by Lina's proactive attitude and her nonchalance in casually throwing a bank card.
They were also amazed at how incredible Alex's willpower was. If they were in his shoes, they would probably be blushing and stammering, unable to get a word out.
Seeing that Lina had walked away, that trendsetting bullet head immediately came over again.
Liam poked Alex's arm, his eyes wide as copper bells. "Damn, Alex, that's Lina Sinclair! And you have this attitude?"
He said, raising his eyebrows and revealing a comical smile, "If you seize this opportunity well, with Lina's background, you'll definitely have a rich wife! If you can hold onto her thigh, you'll save at least five hundred years of hard work!"
Casually putting the bank card into his pocket, Alex replied, "It's just a transaction. I saved her life, she gave me money, that's all"
Upon hearing this, Liam felt a bit exasperated. "Alex, don't just focus on these trivial short-term gains! We need to have a long-term vision and be strategic, understand?"
Alex didn't bother to respond to him anymore and continued to lower his head, immersing his spiritual consciousness into his spiritual platform, studying that hair-thin spiritual power.
Of course, the hair-thin size was relative.
If it were the spiritual platform of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would probably be as vast as the Pacific Ocean.
And his conversation with Liam slowly spread throughout the class.
Many people, upon hearing it, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After all, he was just a poor boy with limited knowledge.
Did he know that being able to get involved with Lina Sinclair was something countless people in the school yearned for?
But in the end, he only thought about money, which was truly laughable.
...
...
At noon, when school was over, Alex was called to the office by his homeroom teacher, Helena. She sighed and complained, pulling Alex aside and talking for a long time.
She said that next time he couldn't be so impulsive. Even if he liked someone, he couldn't disregard his own life!
Moreover, he was originally a heart disease patient. If something happened to him due to fright, wouldn't it be over?
In response, Alex just smiled and answered, neither talking back nor refuting.
So after Helena nagged for a long time, she also found it boring. She carefully examined Alex's hands and complexion again, confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, and let him leave.
As soon as Alex walked out of the office door, a beautiful figure waiting on the side came up to him.
Who else could it be if not Lina Sinclair?
The girl had already calmed down by now, and she had returned to her smiling appearance. With her hands behind her back, she stared at Alex without blinking.
She thought to herself, how come she hadn't noticed before that there was such a good-looking person in the school?
Alex retreated half a step under her gaze. "What's the matter?"
Lina tiptoed and retracted her gaze as if unintentionally. "Come with me, I have something I want to tell you"
Alex frowned, "Then why didn't you say it this morning?"
"There were too many people in the classroom this morning, it was inconvenient. Besides, don't you want to know why that person wanted to kill me?"
"I don't"
This time Alex answered very quickly.
Lina was stunned, her expression frozen. She bit her silver teeth in anger, "Even if you don't want to, you have to!"
She reached out and grabbed Alex's arm, "Come on, follow me"
Alex didn't resist and let her do as she pleased.
In fact, he had already vaguely sensed something, but he was too lazy to care.
Since Lina insisted on telling him, it wouldn't hurt to listen.
Lina took Alex into the stairwell and all the way to the rooftop.
Today, the sky was clear and the azure sky was spotless.
She let go of his hand, turned around to look at Alex, and her face became serious.
"Originally, today's conversation should have been conducted by officials to find you, but I refused because I wanted to tell you in person"
"Alex, you saved my life"
"You may not know what this means yet"
As the girl spoke, a hint of pride involuntarily flashed across her face. It was a kind of innate superiority.
"I am a true genius. In every aspect, I can be described as having exceptional talent"
Of course, she had such absolute confidence.
Although she had just entered the cultivation world not long ago and hadn't even touched the threshold of Qi Refining.
But her master, Daoist Fuyun, had once publicly made a bold statement.
…
My disciple Lina Sinclair has the potential for Foundation Establishment!
It should be known that since the revival of spiritual energy, more than a year had passed, and there were only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire country.
They were all old fogeys from major sects and clans.
…
"Alex, have you read cultivation novels?"
Faced with Lina's direct gaze, Alex raised his eyebrows, "A little"
Lina bit her fingertip, looking a bit hesitant. She hadn't decided whether she really wanted to drag the young man in front of her into this.
After all, as an ordinary person, it seemed to be a kind of happiness to just end this life like this.
But she immediately shook her head. It had been more than a year since the revival of spiritual energy. No matter how much it was concealed globally, there would eventually come a day when the truth would be revealed.
In that case, it was better to let Alex know about these secrets early. Maybe he could also gain some opportunities in the future.
"Then what I'm about to say next should be easy for you to understand"
She said slowly, "Our country has a long history and culture, spanning over five thousand years. Among them, the earliest records of cultivation can be traced back to the Qi practitioners of the Shad state"
"And with the development of technology and the change of times, people seem to have long forgotten these things. The once prosperous Taoist sects with tens of thousands of disciples have gradually faded from people's sight"
She looked at Alex, word by word, "But what I want to tell you is that cultivation is not a fantasy as modern people believe, but a real thing"
Lina said it all in one breath. She originally thought that the boy would open his mouth wide, with a look of surprise and doubt, because that was her reaction when she first heard this news.
But the boy just said "Oh" very calmly, and didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
It was as if what Lina said was not some earth-shattering secret, but something as nutritionless as asking if you had eaten.
"Hey, do you think I'm joking with you?"
Lina couldn't help but shout. Alex's calm attitude always made her feel uncomfortable everywhere.
'Could it be that my explanation was too superficial, so Alex thought I was joking with him?'
Seeing Alex shake his head.
The corners of Lina's mouth twitched a few times.
'This is not right!'
'Shouldn't you gasp in surprise, look shocked, and then be in awe of me?!'
'How can you be so calm?'
'It's like you've cultivated before!'
Lina looked at him with pursed lips, "So you're not surprised at all?"
Upon hearing this, Alex was stunned for two seconds, then learned from Liam to tactically lean back, and said in a tone without any fluctuations, "Wow, amazing, I never thought cultivation actually exists!"
"----"
Lina's eyes darkened, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you"
She patted her chest, causing a wave of undulations, "I can't tell you too much now. Originally, even these few words today shouldn't be revealed to you"
"As for the assassination, it involves even more complex forces from various parties. It's hard to explain clearly in a short time. But you don't need to worry too much about this. Anyway, the family behind me and Shady Mountain will handle it well"
"You know about Shady Mountain, right? It's right in Shadehaven City, which is also the reason I transferred here. It and Longhu Mountain in the capital are now the top Taoist sects. They have a long history, countless Taoist heritages, and are also the biggest beneficiaries of the spiritual energy revival. Now even the authorities don't dare to openly oppose them"
After saying that, she grabbed Alex's hand, "I'm telling you all this for only one purpose"
"You saved my life, and it just so happens that I also found out you have a serious congenital heart disease. So I can't just watch you die. You know?"
"Therefore, come with me to the capital. Even if the doctors are incompetent, I can still take you to seek my master's help. She will definitely have a way!"
Alex listened with some silence.
He really didn't expect that just casually blocking, thinking it was a good opportunity to earn some gold coins, the girl would be so attentive.
Not only did she take the initiative to bring him to the capital for an examination, but she was also prepared for the worst and ready to ask her master for help.
It must be said that Lina Sinclair was really a good person.
But the key point was that Alex didn't have any illness at all now...
Alex sighed, "I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't have any illness now. Didn't Dr. Shad also say that my physical condition is very good?"
Lina's willow eyebrows shot up, "But he also said he wasn't sure!"
