Everyone has a tendency to admire the strong, and this is especially true for a lively and active boy like Chu Jiusheng. He originally thought that after coming to study in City C, he would never have any further contact with his cousin—no, he wouldn't even have the chance to see him. But now…

Not only will I have the opportunity to meet him, but my cousin is also opening a martial arts school here. So, wouldn't I be able to learn with him during my winter and summer vacations? Moreover, these one-and-a-half-hour classes are not expensive, and there's no problem finding a master. It's perfect!

Wait a minute, my cousin is teaching classes here, but I can only attend during winter and summer vacations. What am I going to do if my home isn't in City C? Ah! This feeling of having hope right in front of me, yet being unable to grasp it, is just awful.

Shang Lin didn't expect Chu Jiusheng to be so interested, so he said, "Really, it's just that the location selection and decoration will take some time. If you want to learn, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until next summer vacation."

Chu Jiusheng's heart had already gone through a rollercoaster ride, so he was somewhat disappointed when Shang Lin spoke. He only asked, "What's my cousin's account name? I want to follow it, but unfortunately my phone isn't here. I can only see it when I go home for the holidays. No, the final exams are coming up soon, so I can only see it during winter break. I'm really anxious."

To be honest, Shang Lin couldn't quite understand Chu Jiusheng's feelings. It was like being a fan of a celebrity. Sure enough, there was a deep generation gap between him and the young people. However, he still told him, which could be considered as a form of publicity.

He also told Chu Jiusheng, "Actually, you don't need to worry. Your cousin will teach both online and offline in the future. Otherwise, it will be too monotonous and you probably won't make any money."

Chu Jiusheng's low spirits instantly lifted again. "This is great! This is great! I was just thinking that I can't study with my cousin during winter and summer vacations, and I won't have time when school starts. Now this problem is solved! Hahaha!"

Shang Lin looked at Chu Jiusheng with a wry smile, "Now you're happy, hurry back to class."

"Okay, okay."

Chu Jiusheng ran off with great joy, and Shang Lin didn't even have time to take a nap. When he got home at noon, Shang Lin immediately called Xing Tian to ask him how the house search was going.

Xing Tian said, "The venue and decoration are very suitable, but the rent is a bit expensive. However, we can start operating as soon as we clean it up, which saves us the time of decoration."

Upon hearing this, Shang Lin asked, "Was that a martial arts school before?"

"Yes, it closed down not long after it opened. After all, this is modern times, not ancient times, and with all sorts of tutoring and extracurricular classes for children, naturally not many people are interested in learning. But our sect will definitely be able to do a good job, so please rest assured, Sect Master."

Shang Lin was genuinely a little uneasy. "Are you that confident?"

Xing Tian smiled with a particularly malicious intent, "Because we not only have unique skills, we also have the charm of handsome men."

Shang Lin was both amused and exasperated. "Be careful you don't get stung by a red scorpion."

She Jinxing was alright; he was almost never angry. But Chi Xie was different. Even if you didn't provoke him, he would still have a temper. When he went crazy, he would even yell and kill his own master, let alone other people.

Xing Tian smiled, "I'm not stupid, would I tell him plainly?"

After saying that, Xing Tian lowered his voice and said, "I think the demon's brain is not on the same wavelength as ours. It seems that everything is contrary to our understanding. But that's good. As long as we grasp the rules, we won't make it lose its temper."

Shang Lin felt that Xing Tian's words made some sense. Let alone humans and demons, even among humans, due to different living environments, their perceptions would not be the same.

However, Shang Lin still added a word of caution, "Then don't overdo it, the Red Scorpion is not easy to deal with."

“I know.” Xing Tian quickly changed the subject, “but the sect leader will have to come forward to apply for the business license, so I’m afraid he’ll have to take leave again.”

The thought of taking leave gave Shang Lin a headache. "Can I wait until after my final exams? Wait, I'm still a minor, can I still get a business license?"

“Sure, I asked about it in detail today. I had never dealt with this before and thought I would have to wait until the sect leader came of age. Now that I don’t have that concern, we can start doing it.”

"Can the processing time be postponed?"

"That's fine too. We can do some promotion beforehand, and we also need a location to film the video. Besides, the sect leader's final exam isn't far off, so we have plenty of time."

"Alright, I really need to focus on my studies now, otherwise I'll really lose my chance to get first place!"

Xing Tian immediately smiled and said, "Go for it, Sect Master!"

Shang Lin, who hadn't had enough rest, was a little irritable and really wanted to say, "Anyone can shout slogans, but I'm the one who has to put in the effort!"

In the end, all he said was, "Okay, let's all do our best."

Then, Sect Master Shang ate a quick bite of food and went to catch up on sleep. He suddenly realized a problem: as an ordinary person, even he was prone to restlessness if he didn't get enough sleep.

I hadn't felt this way before; it's probably because I've been busy with work and studies lately. As for his cultivation level, it's negligible in this environment.

Indeed, a person's energy is limited, and they can only do one thing well. If you want to be like yourself in your past life, you need to have plenty of time, otherwise it's too much of a stretch. And I am stretching myself now.

Of course, if the original owner of Shang Lin's body were stronger, the situation would be much better. Unfortunately, the original owner was sickly and had to be nourished by a lot of pills so that he could live like a normal person.

It seems that my cultivation speed has hit a bottleneck and has basically stagnated. But there's nothing I can do about it. I have too many things to do every day, so I basically don't have time to cultivate.

However, after her afternoon nap, Shang Lin felt much better. She was more energetic during afternoon classes, although the courses she was studying were getting harder every day.

No wonder some students need tutoring. If they don't, over time, the knowledge they don't understand will pile up, and they'll probably fall behind. Luckily, Xing Tian had given me some intensive tutoring in high school foreign languages ​​before, otherwise I would have had to take extra classes every night after class, and after that I would still have to do homework, and my sleep time would be reduced to three or four hours.

It's incredibly tough. No wonder some people online say that high school students are the most hardworking and capable students.

When the first get out of class ended, a female classmate approached Shang Lin to ask him a math question. He was somewhat surprised, mainly because he didn't know the classmate's name and they were sitting quite far apart.

Isn't this going too far afield? But since the girl has taken the initiative to come to him, Shang Lin couldn't refuse, so he explained it to her earnestly.

But at that moment, Shang Lin suddenly felt a piercing gaze fixed on him...
