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...
Although their office collaborates with the living world to investigate cases, they are not responsible for the living.
Shang Lin hurriedly explained, "He's not an ordinary living person, but a person with extraordinary abilities, but he didn't do anything good."
Lan Xuan asked instinctively, "Does Sect Leader Shang know any clues?"
Shang Lin chuckled awkwardly, "Without concrete evidence, if I said I could tell from the resentment and bloodlust emanating from these people, would you believe me?"
"I believe you." Lan Xuan's attitude was very sincere. "After all, Sect Master Shang is no ordinary person. I'll go and investigate."
As soon as Lan Xuan left, She Jinxing returned, carrying a large food bag. Presumably, in addition to Shang Lin's dinner, there was also food for him and Situ Pojun.
Although Shang Lin only wanted to eat something casually and then go to the Dragon Spirit Tower to check on the prey, he still needed to explain things to Situ Pojun before leaving, since he had brought the person with him.
Situ Pojun didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to eat with them. After eating for a while and until the hunger subsided, Shang Lin selectively told them about the quadruplets. Of course, he only picked out the part about them taking away someone else's prey.
Situ Pojun saw through it but didn't say anything. However, he could only think that the prey was probably a rare wild animal that Shang Lin, a high school student who was receiving core values education, couldn't stand and secretly released.
So he simply said, "Since you've brought the person here, hand him over to me. Let's talk about alchemy."
Shang Lin immediately refused, "Not today, it's too late. I've been working on this for two days, and I'm about to give up. I'll come find you tomorrow night."
"OK."
She Jinxing hurriedly followed Shang Lin, and only asked when they entered the elevator, "Sect Master, where are we going tonight?" They now had three places to stay, although they were all rented apartments.
"Let's go to Xing Tian's rented house and go home after we've dealt with the hunting situation."
She Jinxing hurriedly called Huang Ying, "Sect Leader is coming back to your side, prepare the rooms for rest."
Huang Ying asked instinctively, "Sect Leader, you're back so soon?"
"Um."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Actually, Huang Ying and the others had just finished dinner. The reason was that today was their first live broadcast, or rather, a test broadcast, so they were busy for a while.
Although it was a trial broadcast, the results were better than Xing Tian had expected, so he planned to broadcast live once a week. However, he also had to mentor his junior apprentice and began to delegate authority, sharing as much work as possible.
Shang Lin was drowsy in the taxi. The original owner's body was still too weak, but after sleeping the whole way, he felt much more energetic when he got out of the car and could last for a few more hours.
As soon as he entered, Xing Tian, Hu Tangdi, Huang Ying, and Huang Li were all there. The moment they saw Shang Lin, their eyes lit up, and they said almost in unison, "The sect leader is back."
Shang Lin paused, then laughed and said, "I'm just going out for a couple of days, why do you all look like you haven't seen me in ages?"
Huang Li rushed up to Shang Lin and hugged his leg, looking up at him with her chubby little face, "That's different. The sect leader is going on a long trip, and we're worried about him."
"I'm not going out alone." Shang Lin said, reaching out to pick up the almanac. Goodness, it's gotten heavier. He couldn't help but laugh, "Do you want to turn into your original form and look in the mirror?"
Huang Li still didn't understand, "Why?"
Huang Ying quickly said, "Let's see if you've gotten as fat as a ball."
Chinese calendar, “…”
He pouted, looking at Shang Lin with teary eyes, "Sect Master, do you think I'm fat?"
Before Shang Lin could say anything, Huang Ying hurriedly said, "Stop being disgusting. Do you really think you're a kindergarten kid?"
Huang Li retorted, "But I'm just a cub. What's wrong with a cub being a little chubby? It means I'm living a good life."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she looked weakly at Shang Lin, "Sect Master..."
Shang Lin sat down and placed the almanac on his lap, saying in a serious tone, "You're right, cubs should be a little chubby, but I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously?"
Hu Tangdi laughed and said, "It's probably from acting lately."
Huang Li buried her face in Shang Lin's arms shyly, "Sect Master, it's not me, I didn't, don't listen to their nonsense, I just missed you a little."
"It really is a cub." Shang Lin chuckled and patted Huang Li on the back of the head. "Let's go to the Dragon Spirit Tower and see what the God Lord insisted we bring back."
Huang Ying silently cursed Huang Li in her heart, "In the entire sect, it's only you who clings to the sect leader at every opportunity, you're so good at sucking up to him, and the sect leader spoils you, you just reach out and hug him, it's shameful to act cute!!!"
Everyone was curious about what the God Lord had insisted on bringing back, so they all went into the tower. Inside the tower, the God Lord, Green Yao, and Ah Chou were looking at a white dragon that was on the verge of death beside them.
Shang Lin handed the almanac directly to She Jinxing, "This is what the Divine Lord said, that it has dragon blood. A dragon? Why does it look almost exactly like the original form of the little snake? Just a few sizes smaller."
The deity replied with a stern face, "It looks similar to a small snake, but it has dragon blood and is still a cub."
It was indeed a cub, but its scales were mottled, its color was dull, and it had deep and shallow wounds. Although it wasn't bleeding, its condition wasn't good. One of its horns was broken off, and it looked almost lifeless with its eyes closed.
Shang Lin hurriedly asked, "Even the God-King can't cure it?" Otherwise, his complexion wouldn't be so bad.
"Yes," the deity said gravely, "but it requires a huge sum of money for treatment. Your mere three million is simply a drop in the ocean. If I were still in my past life..."
"It's alright, I can get a big alchemy order from Situ Pojun tomorrow." Shang Lin was very optimistic. "As long as it can be cured, that's good. As long as it's alive, we can always heal it. Besides the external injuries, does it have any internal injuries?"
"Yes, but not seriously, otherwise he would have died long ago."
"Isn't this even better?" Shang Lin felt more confident. "Then, can we feed him anything?"
"I can barely feed him."
Shang Lin was now completely relieved. "In that case, what is there for the Divine Lord to worry about? He will definitely be saved; it will just take a little longer."
In fact, Shang Lin wanted to say, "Didn't you find it boring to be cooped up in the Dragon Spirit Tower? Now that you have something to do, you don't even have time to be bored."
However, considering that the God-King must be in a bad mood to see his junior in such a miserable state, Shang Lin chose to remain silent and said, "Alright, everyone go out. The God-King and I need to discuss the specific treatment plan."
Although everyone wanted to stay, since the sect leader had spoken, who could object? So they left quickly, and soon only Shenjun and Shang Lin remained. Even Lüyao and A Chou had disappeared.
