This was the first time the old lady had been so shamelessly rejected by her third son. She was so angry that her heart trembled, and her voice became shrill and trembling, "You, you unfilial son! How could I have given birth to such an unfilial son? Now that you have money, you think you're all grown up and don't even respect your mother anymore..."

Mr. Xing reached out to open the door. “Mom, you should go back. Getting angry is bad for your health.”

This dismissive attitude made the old lady even angrier, but before she could even speak, the person standing outside the door, who refused to leave, took the opportunity to walk inside.

For some reason, they came in without saying anything, just took the old lady away, and then Mr. Xing decisively closed the door. People's hearts don't turn cold in a day, so who can you blame for this?

Mr. Xing left decisively to avoid listening to their endless nonsense. However, he left quickly and did not notice that only his mother was talking outside the door; the others were all very dull and were just pulling her along.

"Thank you for your help, junior sister. Otherwise, my mother won't be able to have a peaceful postpartum period." Xing Tian, ​​who was hiding in the shadows, had probably gotten used to what her relatives were like. She complained to Hu Tangdi, "When I was alive, my grandma was so good to me. She always called me her grandson. I never expected that she would show her true colors as soon as I died. She used to be a strong mother, but now she's like a shrew."

Originally, Xing Tian was worried when his father came to open the door, so he followed him out to take a look. Unexpectedly, he discovered this messy situation as soon as he saw it.

If it weren't for Hu Tangdi's secret help, who knows what kind of mess it would have gotten into. After all, the old lady is different from the other people in the family; if she made a scene, it would only be more embarrassing.

"Why are you being so polite? It was just a small favor." Hu Tangdi turned to look at Xing Tian and suddenly said very frankly, "I think the sect leader made the right decision to keep me here. Otherwise, it would be a question whether Qiu Niang could grow up safely. Your relatives are like tigers and wolves surrounding you. And your parents are getting old and have a lot to do. There are always times when they can't take care of everything. You can't guard against thieves every day."

Xing Tian nodded in complete agreement, "As the sect leader, he naturally has foresight in everything he does."

After saying that, she looked at the relatives who had just left outside the courtyard and asked with great confusion, "Why don't they learn their lesson? I've given them a lot of trouble before. My eldest cousin is now afraid to go out at night, and my two uncles are behaving themselves. But the others... was it because I didn't do enough before?"

Hu Tangdi didn't know what Xing Tian had done before, so he said, "Maybe, otherwise why wouldn't he learn his lesson?"

Xing Tian suddenly looked up at the sky and sighed, "I really am a failure!"

Hu Tangdi, in the manner of an elder encouraging a younger generation, patted Xing Tian's shoulder lightly, "It's alright, learn from your mistakes, failure is the mother of success, young man, the revolution is not yet over, you must continue to work hard."

Xing Tian's eyes widened instantly, looking as if he had seen a ghost. "Junior sister, you must have been using your phone a lot. You can even speak internet slang now."

Hu Tangdi didn't respond to Xing Tian's words, but looked out the door and said, "I think it would be better to do this: among your relatives, whoever you think can be possessed, you rush in and then dismantle them from within. Wouldn't that be more effective and faster? There's a saying among humans, 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained.'"

Xing Tian suddenly looked at Hu Tangdi with a look of horror. He never expected that she would be like this!

But, "Is it okay for me to do this? What if it has any negative consequences for me?"

Hu Tangdi immediately stopped. She was a demon cultivator and only knew a little about ghost cultivators. "Hmm? You'll probably have to ask the sect leader about that. Besides, it's not easy to possess someone; it requires the right timing, location, and people."

As soon as Mr. Xing entered his home, he called the property management and told them, "From now on, no one is allowed to come to my house without my permission."

The property management representative said, "...Okay, Mr. Xing."

Xing Tian also sent a message to Shang Lin, truthfully reporting what Hu Tangdi had told him, with the ultimate goal of asking if it was possible.

To be fair, Shang Lin admired Hu Tangdi's thought process, but, "Our sect is out of money, we need to make money. As for your relatives, since the conspiracy won't work, let's use an open strategy to make sure they behave themselves."

Xing Tian instantly felt that Shang Lin had become much more sophisticated, and quickly asked, "How is it a calculated scheme?"

Sect Leader: Compile a list of each of their preferences and weaknesses and send it to me so that we can launch a targeted attack to achieve a decisive victory.

Xing Tian: jpj with an expression of adoration, Sect Master, you are the most powerful person I have ever met. Let me tidy up first and then I'll send it to you.

Sect Leader: What's so great about that? Those people are your relatives, so you'll have to consider things more or less when you do them. I have no relation to them, so naturally I don't have to consider anything. Besides, I'm not as good as you at making money.

Xing Tian: Sect Master, you're being modest. You're currently limited by being a minor, so your earning speed is slow. I believe that once you turn 18, your earning speed will be faster than a rocket.

Shang Lin looked at his phone screen and smiled helplessly. How much honey did he drink to have such a sweet tongue? But he still needed to get on the good side of the Xing family as soon as possible.

Sect Leader: Stop flattering me. I've already given the whitening and spot-fading cream to your father. I believe we can discuss cooperation in the next few days. Hurry up and write a proposal so we don't reveal our secrets and make a fool of ourselves when we meet face to face.

Xing Tian: Yes, Sect Master, I'll go write it right away.

Shang Lin put away his phone and went out. She Jinxing hurriedly followed. This was only the second time Shang Lin had come to the provincial capital. The time he went with Old Man Chai last year was something he couldn't bear to mention.

But when Shang Lin went out today, it suddenly dawned on him that these two provincial capitals were so far apart, how did he end up running into Xing Tian? Could it be that he was recuperating in another city at the time?

It doesn't seem wrong. Rich people own houses everywhere. He even saw online that someone bought a house in a certain place and then forgot about it, only to find out one day that someone else had already occupied it.

She Jinxing followed Shang Lin and asked softly, "It's so hot outside, where is the sect leader going?"

Shang Lin subconsciously glanced at She Jinxing, "Are you afraid of the heat?" Although she was a demon cultivator who had already transformed into human form, she still had biological instincts.

She Jinxing paused, then said, "It's alright."

On such a hot day, he just wanted to soak in the water, and of course, it would be even better in the Dragon Spirit Tower. But the sect leader had to go out, and he couldn't go alone. As for "Old Man Chai," he had become even more depressed since Qiu Niang was born, and his internal injuries had not yet healed, so he was not suitable for strenuous work.

"Um."

She Jinxing didn't understand what the sect leader meant by that "hmm," so he could only dutifully follow along. However, the first thing Shang Lin bought was a multi-piece sun protection set: a hat, sunglasses, a mask, and a sun protection suit.
