Although Xing Tian really wanted to mentor the newcomers, he still had to clean up the mess with Fan Mingyu, and She Jinxing needed to recover some debts, which they also had to deal with as soon as possible. Even their holiday ended early, so he had no choice but to go to work.

However, She Jinxing did not continue to chase after the debt because Hu Tangdi was injured. Although she spoke lightly about it yesterday, She Jinxing realized that she had lied when she applied the medicine. And today, the sect leader was going to refine pills, so he could not leave.

Hu Tangdi didn't seem to care about his injury, saying, "I almost died the first time I advanced, what's a little injury?"

At that time, She Jinxing rarely retorted, "Advancing is advancing, but can it be the same? Besides, back then, if you had a hundred years to recuperate from your injury, you would have recovered almost completely. Do you have a hundred years to recuperate now?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tangdi immediately cowered. Now, let alone a hundred years, she couldn't even manage a hundred days! So she could only stay in a corner and quietly recuperate, so that she wouldn't have to fight while injured when the sect leader was in danger.

Therefore, the task of teaching Lan Xuan common sense fell to the master and apprentice, Ta Ling and She Jinxing. However, Ta Ling was quite lazy, and the main force was She Jinxing.

Lan Xuan was trained in just one morning, and he roughly understood his current situation, but he still couldn't remember things from his previous life, which he felt were very, very important.

At this moment, the tower spirit advised, "Don't force yourself if you can't remember. Maybe you'll remember someday."

After saying that, he said to She Jinxing, "Don't just keep training the students, get Xiaoxuan something to eat too. This child looks like he's suffered a lot, it's quite pitiful."

She Jinxing immediately went to burn incense and offer wine, while Lan Xuan watched in amazement, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Shang Lin didn't come out at noon, so Hu Tangdi just cooked some noodles. Since the injured were cooking, no one said anything. As for ordering takeout, it would be a waste.

But by dinner time, Shang Lin still hadn't come out, and She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi couldn't help but worry, mainly because they were concerned that he might be too weak. So they both looked at the tower spirit, clearly asking, "Why don't you go into the tower and take a look?"

The deity directly refused, "Don't worry, Shang Lin is very measured in everything he does. He won't do anything he's not sure of. As for why he hasn't come out yet, he probably wants to use up all those inner cores before the start of the semester."

What could She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi say? They could only wait. But they waited until after 10 p.m., and Shang Lin had She Jinxing carry the things out for him. He was exhausted.

Hu Tangdi directly served Shang Lin a few bites of warm food, then helped him drink a glass of water before he seemed to come back to life.

She Jinxing couldn't help but advise, "Sect Master, please don't do this anymore. It's too mentally and physically exhausting."

"Okay." Shang Lin readily agreed and quickly took out the pills to distribute, even giving one to Lan Xuan. Only after finishing did he realize, "Where's Xing Tian?"

She Jinxing replied, "He was exhausted after a long day and is asleep now."

Shang Lin gave She Jinxing two more bottles of pills, saying, "When you go out to collect debts, take these to Huang Ying and Huang Li as well. I'll give Ji Xiaoyao and Xing Tian theirs tomorrow."

The deity, who had gained nothing, added insult to injury at the opportune moment, "Have you spent almost all of the remaining payment from selling ginseng again?"

Shang Lin looked at the tower spirit with a wry smile, "There really isn't any. After all, Green Yao has planted a lot of medicinal herbs, and it has been churning them up these past two days. It's just that it has consumed too much this time, and I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next year to refine pills again."

Lan Xuan looked at the small pill in his hand and asked Shang Lin in confusion, "I'm in a soul state right now, how can I take this?" Wait, how did he manage to hold this pill? Isn't he supposed to be unable to touch physical objects?

"This is a Soul Nourishing Pill," Shang Lin explained patiently. "Souls that have lived in the Dragon Spirit Tower are, in most cases, no different from living people, so eat whatever you want, don't be shy."

Lan Xuan stared at Shang Lin in utter shock, and after a long while, he said, "Then can I go out during the day too?"

"No, that's impossible." The Dragon Spirit Tower isn't that powerful right now, and as for the future... things are uncertain, so naturally, we can't say.

Shang Lin ate something else and then went to rest, but Hu Tangdi couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, this year's National Day holiday wasn't much better than last year's!"

Until October 8th, when school started, Shang Lin didn't see his old and new classmates. The reason was that he had been captured by Situ Pojun to work as free labor. Well, it wasn't exactly free; his payment was his personal information.

From their first meeting, Situ Pojun had said that Shang Lin's information was a mess. Now, even he himself was completely confused by it, mainly because Shang Lin was like a mysterious creature, appearing and disappearing at will.

For example, he was born 16 years ago at the Beijing Women and Children's Hospital, but there were no records of him after six months. He then appeared in different places, but disappeared again after a few months.

The original time of death was also recorded, which was when Shang Lin was twelve years old. Then there was no news of him. He reappeared last year. In the end, there were only four words: chaotic fate chart.

There is not a single word about the subsequent course of fate. Of course, this may be related to the reorganization of the underworld and the rewriting of the Book of Life and Death, but it is really outrageous that it is so chaotic.

However, Shang Lin didn't care. Anyway, his and Yuan Shang Lin's fates were already a complete mess, so how could there be any future trajectory? He could be considered to have escaped the cycle of life and death, right?

Shang Lin had asked Situ Pojun about this issue, but he said, "I don't know. Under normal circumstances, a person's life from birth to death is recorded, especially the time of birth and death, which cannot be wrong in the slightest. But you may be neither human nor demon, nor do you seem like a half-demon. Anyway, I can't tell, and there's nowhere to check."

Shang Lin, "..."

What else can we do? That's all we can do.

However, Lan Xuan stayed in the office. Whether it was the pill Shang Lin gave him that worked or the environment of the office that was beneficial to him, he vaguely remembered some things from his previous life.

So when the holiday came, Ji Xiaoyao went with Shang Lin. Although he was a little reluctant to part with the food, there were many other things that were more important than food.

The look in Situ Pojun's eyes when he saw Ji Xiaoyao's determination to follow Shang Lin was extremely complex, even carrying a hint of being abandoned.

However, Ji Xiaoyao said, "I'm really sorry, I have to go and be with my wife. Besides, Lan Xuan is gradually recovering, and he can help you better than I can."

Situ Pojun had no doubt about this, but Lan Xuan was nowhere near as strong as Ji Xiaoyao, especially when it came to eating evil spirits; he could practically take on a hundred at once.
