Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...
Chi Xie was angry and wouldn't speak, and Shang Lin didn't have time to coax the "child." He wouldn't be much better off than Meng Zhe even if he skipped two days of class, not to mention he also had to take care of She Jinxing's eyes.
So Shang Lin picked up his chopsticks and started eating, but Xing Tian said, "I cast a wide net online and found a few good locations suitable for opening a martial arts school, but I don't know if we can reach an agreement?"
Shang Lin completely relinquished control, saying, "You're an expert in these matters, so you can handle the arrangements. However, with Qiu Niang's reincarnation, the finance department is now empty. Who do you think can take over?"
Xing Tian glanced at Huang Ying subconsciously, then looked at Shang Lin, "Currently, Huang Ying is the most suitable. I've been teaching her all this time."
Shang Lin suddenly asked, "Has Huang Ying's ID card been retrieved?"
Huang Ying hurriedly replied, "It will take another three days."
“Alright, once you get your ID card back, go and work with anthropologists. Xing Tian has too much to do; he can’t handle it all by himself. Also, we can start hiring ordinary humans now. Let the little snake register a company directly.”
"No, no." Xing Tian refused instantly. "All the companies of Yuntai Sect must be under the sect leader's name. This is conducive to management and development. The little snake's identity will eventually be investigated. Besides, we can't expand so much all at once; there will be risks."
When it comes to doing business, Shang Lin has always felt like a complete novice, especially when it comes to doing business in the human realm, he is completely clueless. So he can only delegate authority, "Alright, you can arrange it as you see fit. I need to prepare for my final exams soon."
"good."
After dinner, Shang Lin changed the dressing on She Jinxing's eyes again. Whether it was because his injury was not serious or because demon cultivators recovered quickly, he looked much better.
However, She Jinxing said at the time that the injury was not serious, just a little pain and photophobia, but Shang Lin completely ignored the effect of his medicine.
As Shang Lin was preparing to rest that evening, Chi Xie stared at him with his red eyes again, looking like he was about to scare him to death. Shang Lin was so angry that he laughed. "How old are you? Can you stop being so childish? No matter what bad things you want to do to me, you won't kill me. Just give up already."
Red Scorpion, however, said, "I didn't intend to kill you; I was just observing you."
Shang Lin looked puzzled and subconsciously asked, "What are you observing me for? Are you human or a demon?"
Red Scorpion shook his head. "Not just, all of them."
Shang Lin thought this little scorpion's mind was probably different from most demon cultivators. What kind of bizarre idea was this? "So even when I'm sleeping, you still have to stare at me?"
Red Scorpion nodded seriously, "Yes, because sleeping is the most relaxing and authentic time."
Shang Lin had a headache, but he didn't say another word to Chi Xie. He directly put him into the Dragon Spirit Tower and then sealed the tower in a flash. If it were any other time, it would be fine, but he was being watched while he was sleeping. It would be strange if he could sleep.
Red Scorpion was thrown into the Dragon Spirit Tower and was momentarily dazed, but when he tried to get out, he couldn't. The Divine Lord kindly reminded him, "Don't bother trying, we can't get out either, Shang Lin has sealed the tower."
Red Scorpion looked at the God-King with great confusion, "Aren't you the Tower Spirit? How did he seal the Tower?"
The deity smiled faintly, "I am indeed the tower spirit, but this tower was crafted by Shang Lin. How can I control him? Young man, a brain is a good thing. You must develop more brains. Be good, go wash up and go to bed, or it will really affect your brain development."
Red Scorpion, "..."
He was looked down upon by the Tower Spirit again. However, the Tower Spirit was an ancient divine dragon in its previous life, so it did have the right to look down on him. But what was Shang Lin? He had always been just a mere human. Humans were as weak as ants, so how could it look down on him?
Red Scorpion was completely baffled and went to harass She Jinxing again. As for Hu Tangdi, he felt that the other party was too beautiful and he didn't want to get close to her.
She Jinxing sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, resting. Suddenly, he felt the red scorpion come to his side. He subconsciously opened his eyes and asked, "It's so late, aren't you going to rest?"
Red Scorpion sat cross-legged next to She Jinxing without any politeness. "You guys really are like humans, eating when it's time to eat and sleeping when it's time to sleep?"
She Jinxing nodded, "If nothing happens, then this is how it is. And since we live in the human world, we should try to be as human as possible. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to go to some remote place to cultivate?"
Red Scorpion asked, utterly puzzled, "But is this really meaningful?"
She Jinxing looked at Chi Xie with confusion and asked, "So what exactly are you trying to say?"
Red Scorpion thought for a moment before saying, "I just think all of you are so strange, especially Shang Lin, who is so contradictory. But when I tried to observe him, he actually locked me in the tower. It's just incomprehensible."
She Jinxing was both annoyed and amused. "Who likes being stared at all the time? Especially when you're sleeping. You should get some rest too. Aren't you injured?"
Red Scorpion suddenly said proudly, "My injuries have almost healed, but Shang Lin is ruthless enough to fight me to the death without fear of death."
She Jinxing laughed and said, "You're wrong. The sect leader isn't fearless, nor is he fighting you to the death. He just knows in his heart that doing so will succeed."
Although they were terrified when they saw it and rushed to save the person, now that they think about it, their sect leader was not a reckless person at all. When has he ever done anything without being sure of the outcome?
Besides, the sect leader, having failed his tribulation and died in his previous life, and whose health was poor due to transmigrating, cherishes his body and life more than anyone else; he wouldn't do anything foolish. As for adventure, that's also within his control.
Look at this is the mysterious trust that a loyal servant has in his master. In such a short time, Shang Lin went against danger to verify his previous guess. Wasn't that also a risk?
Red Scorpion really wanted to say, "Then he didn't really hurt me." But then he saw She Jinxing close his eyes again, clearly indicating that he was ready to leave.
Enraged, Red Scorpion went to find Green Yao since no one was around to bother him. The little guy rushed over while he was drinking Shang Lin's blood, looking rather amusing with his fierce demeanor.
Unfortunately, the little green one darted into the herb field, making it really difficult to find. In the end, the Divine Lord floated over to Red Scorpion's side and offered a few words of advice, "Didn't you want to observe Shang Lin? He's going to school tomorrow, so you can follow him. But you'll have to use invisibility. If you don't rest tonight, how can you follow him all day tomorrow?"
Red Scorpion paused, realizing that using invisibility all day was quite tiring, but he still asked, "Since the Divine Lord is a tower spirit, can't he open the Dragon Spirit Tower?"
The deity chuckled, "I could force it open, but why would I bother? Am I out of my mind? Is the fruit not tasty, or the video not good?"
Red Scorpion, "..."
Everyone in the group seems easygoing, but none of them are easy to get along with!
