Surviving a Tribulation Failure and Collecting Disciples in the Mortal World

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...

Chapter 184 How can this person talk to himself like this?

Shang Lin had no idea what Yuan Yuan was thinking. As soon as he returned to the classroom, he borrowed Yuan Yuan's class notes and started copying them down. Even his photographic memory wasn't enough sometimes!

Especially the newly recruited disciple, who is practically a rebellious teenager in his teens. I wonder if he can listen to Xing Tian's arrangements and seriously film the videos?

However, Shang Lin's worries this time were somewhat unfounded, because Chi Xie was not filming a video with Xing Tian, ​​but was helping the other party fight. That's right, fighting.

Actually, Red Scorpion didn't care at all about whether or not he filmed a video, but if he wanted a phone, he had to go to Xing Tian, ​​so he went there. At that time, Xing Tian was working and seemed quite busy.

Red Scorpion, unusually, did not disturb them and wandered around the factory and office areas. Of course, he was not alone; Huang Ying accompanied him. After all, he was an unstable factor, and they could not ignore him while the sect leader was not around.

However, aside from asking some random questions, Red Scorpion was quite well-behaved, so Xing Tian said, "Let's have dinner together after get off work, and we can talk about anything else then."

Red Scorpion didn't object and stayed by Xing Tian's side, watching him work. However, he wasn't busy with company matters at the moment, but with the martial arts gym. The house had been secured, and they were just waiting to go see it tomorrow. If it was suitable, they could discuss the price and finalize the deal.

However, interior decoration also takes time, and Xing Tian wanted to create a classic and antique style for the martial arts hall, so there were many small things to do, such as finding pictures, information, and decoration companies that were good at this.

When Xing Tian got off work in the evening, he took the two adults and one child out for barbecue. He had no choice but to give in, as all three of them were clamoring for meat.

When it was time to eat, Xing Tiancai asked Chi Xie what he wanted. Chi Xie answered very directly, "I don't have a cell phone. Shang Lin asked me to contact you."

"Okay." Xing Tian immediately took out his phone and placed an order online. After putting down his phone, he said, "It will arrive the day after tomorrow afternoon. You can stay with me for the next two days."

Red Scorpion, knowing about the video recording, said, "I can follow you, but do you have time to film a video?"

Xing Tian smiled slightly, exuding a Shang Lin-like air, "Time can always be squeezed out if you want, but Old Man Chai is getting old and has internal injuries, so the time I can spare is limited. You'll have to do your best to cooperate."

Red Scorpion's face immediately darkened. He hadn't even agreed to film the video yet, how could this person just say it like that? But if he refused now, it would be considered uncooperative, so he could only try a roundabout approach. "But I don't know anything about filming, how can I film it? I've seen She Jinxing's videos before, with long spears and long knives, I don't know how to use either of them."

Demon cultivators rarely use weapons; they use whatever they have in their physical form. For example, one might use a scorpion tail, while Hu Tangdi uses claws. After all, ordinary weapons are useless to them, and they can't find powerful divine artifacts, or even if they did, they might not be able to subdue them. So when Red Scorpion said he didn't know how, he truly didn't.

Xing Tian said in a very good mood, "Little Snake didn't know anything back then either, and learned everything from General Ji. Now that General Ji is not here, you don't need to film those things. Just film some fitness videos, or at the very least, wear a tight T-shirt and show off your figure."

Red Scorpion looked incredulous. "It's that simple?"

“Of course.” Xing Tian said casually while grilling meat, “What else did you think we were going to film? Showing off our chest muscles, abs, and biceps? You might want to film that, but we don’t know if it will even pass censorship. Don’t think too much about it.”

Red Scorpion, "..."

He felt that Shang Lin not only looked down on him, but also deceived him. Even if he was human in both his past and present lives, he was still incredibly intelligent, almost demonic—no, he was even more demonic than a demon, otherwise why would he have so many strange beings around him?

However, the atmosphere at the barbecue was quite good, and everyone enjoyed the meal. It was just that Xing Tian felt a little pained when it came time to pay the bill, but he didn't dare to spend the sect's money and instead paid his own salary.

So the four of them prepared to go back to Xing Tian's place, but because they were too full, they decided to take a walk first, and then take a taxi back when Xing Tian felt cold.

As it turned out, they ran into trouble. They were robbed by seven or eight burly men. For a moment, Xing Tian thought that the merchants had come looking for Old Man Chai again, and he was thinking about how to keep their sect leader's secret.

The next second, they heard the leader of the group say, "Chai Rongjin, you're quite good at hiding. We've been unable to find you for so many years, but we've finally caught you today. Come back with us."

Xing Tian was instantly bewildered, having no idea what these people were talking about. But since they weren't looking for Shang Lin, he immediately felt a little more at ease. He subconsciously pointed to his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I had an accident last year, which damaged my brain, so I don't remember anything from before."

The man immediately retorted angrily, "Are you kidding me? Why didn't you use your brain earlier or later? Why did you have to use your brain now that we're looking for you?"

Xing Tian said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital and check my medical records. I'm still getting injections and taking medicine."

Another man said, "Do you think we're stupid? You're clearly stalling for time. If you don't come back with us willingly, don't blame us for taking action."

Then Red Scorpion rushed over. He liked to fight, so why waste so much time talking? However, he was facing an ordinary human, so he had to go easy on him, or he would get into trouble.

Red Scorpion knew these common-sense facts, and even recalled Shang Lin's childish yet mature-beyond-his-years face.

The scene before them left Xing Tian, ​​Huang Ying, and Huang Li completely dumbfounded. Was this little scorpion really this violent? He started fighting without warning. They wanted to ask him what was going on.

Moreover, his bravery had nothing to do with Huang Ying and Huang Li. After a while, Xing Tian came to his senses and said loudly, "Take one back and ask what happened?"

Two hours later, Xing Tian and his group, along with a burly man, returned to their rented bungalow. Xing Tian was a bit tired, so he asked Huang Ying to ask around, while Huang Li went along to watch the excitement.

Red Scorpion looked at Xing Tian with some curiosity, "Why don't you go yourself?"

Xing Tian opened his phone and lay down on the sofa. "I'm tired. Listening to the live performance is just as good."

Red Scorpion's eyes suddenly turned red as he looked at the phone and heard Huang Ying interrogating the person. He asked in utter astonishment, "How did you do that? Is the phone that powerful?"

Xing Tian answered with his eyes closed, "It's just a phone call, what's so great about that?"

The curious Red Scorpion continued, "Then if we talk, won't Huang Ying be able to hear us too?"

Xing Tian replied with his eyes still closed, "She's wearing headphones, so it doesn't matter if she hears it or not, as long as the person she brought back can't hear it."

The next second...
