Shang Lin and Situ Pojun had known each other for a very short time and hadn't had many opportunities to interact, mainly because of their ID cards. However, he had a good impression of Situ Pojun and was a little reluctant to see him transferred.

Moreover, from Situ Pojun's simple words, Shang Lin could tell that he was probably not being promoted, but more likely being demoted. However, he didn't know the specifics of the matter and could only speak about his own situation.

But, "Why are you so serious? Are you worried I'll steal your employees?"

However, Situ Pojun's answer startled Shang Lin. He said, "If I am transferred, they will not be able to follow me. Going to your place is not a bad option."

Shang Lin, "..."

This is a serious problem.

But Situ Pojun clearly didn't want to say more, so he said, "Go to the seventeenth floor and find them. They're all here today."

Shang Lin really wanted to ask, "What's wrong with you?" But in the end, he held back. With his current abilities, what substantial help could he possibly offer Situ Pojun?

So, "I'm going downstairs now."

When Shang Lin went down to the seventeenth floor, he indeed saw Shang Jing and Lan Xuan. They didn't look as relaxed as Situ Pojun; they were both busy typing away in front of their computers.

Shang Lin was a little curious. What were they busy with? Why were they typing so frantically on the keyboard? So much so that when he, a living person, appeared, neither of them reacted.

Shang Lin had to cough to remind the two of his presence, but only Shang Jing looked up. Lan Xuan said, "Wait a minute."

Upon seeing Shang Lin, Shang Jing hurriedly stood up. "Shang Lin, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing Shang Jing's words, Lan Xuan looked up and immediately smiled at Shang Lin, saying, "Sect Leader Shang, please have a seat."

As Shang Lin sat down, he asked, "What are you all busy with?"

Shang Jing: "Let's argue."

Lan Xuan: "It's nothing."

Shang Lin looked at them with a bewildered expression and said with a smile, "People in the same office, how can they not give the same story?"

Shang Jing explained, "You're my younger brother, so naturally I'll say whatever's on my mind, Lan Xuan..."

"What did you say?" Lan Xuan looked at Shang Jing in surprise, then at Shang Lin. "You two are brothers?!"

Shang Jing nodded, "Yes. We're half-siblings, so we don't look alike."

"No, no, no, even brothers from the same father and mother can look different," Lan Xuan explained. "I just feel that even though you are separated by life and death, you can still meet!"

When Shang Lin heard Shang Jing say, "You are my younger brother," he said it so naturally, as if they were very close brothers, but they had only met a few times. When did they become so familiar?

However, Shang Lin had no desire to associate herself with Shang Jing, so she immediately changed the subject, "What do you mean by arguing?"

Shang Jing immediately gave a wry smile, "Actually, we weren't arguing about ourselves, but about Director Situ."

Shang Lin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Lan Xuan replied, "What else could it be? He's too outstanding at work, which makes people jealous. So they're looking for all sorts of faults to find and transfer him to some remote corner to fend for himself."

Shang Lin, "..."

As a worker in the underworld, is it inevitable to encounter this situation? He subconsciously glanced at the sky outside the window. Well, there are too many injustices in the world, and even the Heavenly Way can't manage them all. It's already good enough that he can maintain the overall balance.

However, "What problem can arguing solve? You might as well think of some other solutions."

Shang Jing bluntly stated, "A higher rank can crush you, it's the same everywhere. We're just venting our frustrations and letting off steam. Once Director Situ leaves, we don't even know where we'll go!"

Shang Lin paused, then asked, "If he's transferred, can't you go with him?"

Lan Xuan replied, "I'm afraid not. Our application for appointment hasn't been returned to the office yet, so we still have to wait for the appointment. Naturally, we can't go with Director Situ, and he doesn't allow us to go with him either."

Shang Lin advised, "We'll talk about the future later. If you can't follow Director Situ and don't want to stay here, you can come to our Yuntai Sect. Of course, the treatment won't be as good as following Situ Pojun. After all, our Yuntai Sect has just been established and we don't have much."

Shang Jing immediately said, "Okay, if I can't continue working with Director Situ and I'm not happy working here, I'll follow you. Don't look down on me then, little brother."

Shang Lin smiled slightly, "At that time, you won't be able to call me brother anymore, you'll have to call me sect leader."

Shang Jing was taken aback, but immediately compromised, "Alright, we haven't seen each other for so many years. By the time we meet again, we will be separated by life and death. Strictly speaking, we can no longer be called brothers."

Shang Lin really wanted to say, "We are indeed not brothers, because the original Shang Lin passed away four years ago, even before you passed away, which is why I am unwilling to accept it."

However, this was something that Shang Jing would find somewhat difficult to accept, so Shang Lin felt it was better not to say anything. He then looked at Lan Xuan and asked, "Are you willing?"

"Me?" Lan Xuan hesitated for a moment, but then explained, "It's not that I don't want to follow Sect Master Shang, it's just that what I need to do requires the help of the Underworld Office. The Yuntai Sect doesn't have these resources, nor can it access them."

“I understand, after all, you are truly collaborating across the legal and illegal worlds.” Shang Lin took out a bottle of pills. “These are Soul-Stabilizing Pills. One for each of you. I have to go now. If you need to contact me, feel free to call or message me anytime.”

Lan Xuan refused instantly, "I can't accept this. I've already accepted Sect Master Shang's pills once before, how can I keep taking them for free?"

Shang Jing asked curiously, "What does 'Soul-Stabilizing Pill' mean? Does it stabilize the soul?"

Shang Lin explained, "It is and it isn't entirely true. Just think of it as a health supplement."

After finishing his sentence, Shang Lin said to Lan Xuan, "What you have done is for the country and the people, and I am also a citizen of this country. How can you say that I am giving you a pill for free? It's just that I have too many things to do and too little time to refine pills, so I can't give you more at once. Just accept it with peace of mind."

Lan Xuan, "..."

After a long pause, he said with great admiration, "The Shang clan leader is a man of great righteousness."

Shang Lin laughed and said, "You're too modest. I really can't compare to you. But I really have to go now. Goodbye." Can anyone really accumulate such merit?

Shang Jing quickly said, "I'll take you."

Shang Lin immediately refused, "No need, you should continue to vent your frustrations."

Shang Jing, "..."

My younger brother's eloquence is somewhat—good!

Suddenly, Lan Xuan patted her shoulder and asked, "Aren't you going to eat it?" He then swallowed the pill.

Shang Jing, "..."
