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 269 This Awkward Personality

Although Hu Tangdi can also make clothes, she mainly focuses on traditional Chinese style clothing, and all of her orders are online. She doesn't have any customers. Thinking about her own clothes, there's only one set left that Qiu Niang made.

Alas! I will never be able to wear the clothes Qiu Niang made again.

Red Scorpion felt that Shang Lin's answer was just a perfunctory response. His expression softened slightly, but then darkened again, and he said, "Do you think it's too expensive? Don't you want to buy it for me?"

Shang Lin is definitely a prime example of someone who saves money where he should and spends money where he should. In his eyes, a suit is something that should be cut back on; it would be better to buy ordinary clothes and make them into a ceremonial robe.

The saleswoman next to me looked at this and then at that, and suddenly felt like she had discovered something, something incredible, but why did this feeling feel a little strange?

Shang Lin ignored Chi Xie and said directly to the saleswoman, "This is the set. Do you have the same style and size?"

The sales assistant quickly said, "I'm sorry, they're all single items, but do you have other colors available?"

Red Scorpion looked at Shang Lin, puzzled, but heard him say, "Then try other colors. Little Snake didn't come, so I can't favor one over the other."

Red Scorpion, "..."

The saleswoman's mind went blank for a moment, instantly conjuring up a ten-thousand-word novel in her head. The amount of information was too much for her to process all at once, so she dutifully went to get the clothes.

Red Scorpion reluctantly changed into the outfit, then stood in front of Shang Lin. "I don't want to wear the same thing as anyone else, and a different color is even worse. Change him into another set."

"good."

Shang Lin resigned himself to making the selection. The Divine Lord was right; he had spoiled them too much. But what could he do? They were all disciples he had taken in.

After choosing the suit, they also selected the shirt and tie. When Shang Lin finished making his selections and went to pay, Chi Xie touched his nose a little embarrassedly. The price was indeed enough to make a robe.

However, in Shang Lin's heart, the snake still held a higher position. It had everything without even coming, while he had to actively strive for it, which might make Shang Lin think that he was wasting money.

But I have good things but no money, and I can't just take those things out whenever I want. It's really frustrating.

On the way back in a taxi, Shang Lin noticed that Chi Xie's expression was still not good, so she took out her phone and sent him a message: What's wrong? Are you annoyed by the noisy environment?

Red Scorpion took out his phone, and when he saw that it was a message from Shang Lin, he turned to look at him, but did not type or send a message; he just shook his head.

Shang Lin was even more confused now, and continued typing: What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?

Red Scorpion replied this time: Anyway, it's nothing.

Wow, Shang Lin was instantly convinced. He really wanted to have the Divine Lord and the Crimson Scorpion compete to see who was more difficult to deal with!

However, Shang Lin ignored Chi Xie and instead called She Jinxing, asking, "Have you bought lunch yet?"

"I'm holding my phone, about to order takeout."

"Then don't order it. We're on our way back, so we'll just take it with us."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Shang Lin asked Chi Xie, "What do you want to eat? Go buy it."

"……good."

When Shang Lin and Chi Xie returned to the hospital carrying large and small bags, Yu Qingfeng's IV drip had finally finished. He immediately went to the bathroom to wash up before returning to his hospital bed.

That's right, I just lay down. I felt completely weak. If I wasn't lying in bed, I would collapse on the ground. It's true what they say, food is the foundation of life. I hadn't eaten much for two days, and with this injury, even washing up became a physical task. It was really killing me.

However, seeing Shang Lin and Chi Xie carrying so many things, Yu Qingfeng couldn't help but ask, "Why did you buy so much stuff?"

As Shang Lin handed the food to She Jinxing, who was reaching out to him, he said, "It's not just for you, it's for both of them too. It's almost Chinese New Year, so you should at least buy them some new clothes, right?"

Yu Qingfeng paused, "Yes, it's almost Chinese New Year, so we should buy some. Why didn't you buy any?"

“I wear my school uniform all the time, so this phone will basically just sit there unused. I’ll buy it again when I’m not wearing my school uniform anymore.” Shang Lin said as he took out the phone box and handed it to Yu Qingfeng. “I’ve bought the phone, but I can’t get a SIM card for it. I have to go there in person with my ID card to apply for one.”

Yu Qingfeng paused as she was about to open the phone box. "I don't have a SIM card. Even if I have a phone, I can't log into the payment app. I'll transfer the money to you when I get back."

"Brother Yu," Shang Lin called out helplessly, "how did you get captured by those quadruplets? They didn't cause any damage to your Qingfeng Temple, did they?"

“They didn’t arrest me inside the temple. I went out to buy something and they caught me when I wasn’t paying attention. They didn’t torture me much. These injuries are from when I resisted. But what did they do around me? Didn’t you notice anything when you rescued me?”

Shang Lin didn't want to say much about this matter, only saying, "No, let's eat first. By the way, did the doctor say what you can eat?"

She Jinxing immediately said, "The doctor came to check on us early this morning and hasn't come back since. I'll go ask him."

"Go ahead," Shang Lin said with a hint of sympathy. "Who can stand drinking millet porridge all the time?"

Thinking back to when I first transmigrated, I drank a lot of soup and broth, so much so that even now, I don't like eating soupy or brothy food.

Yu Qingfeng said to She Jinxing, "Thank you for your trouble."

She Jinxing only said two words, "It's nothing," and then strode out the door.

Yu Qingfeng glanced at Chi Xie again, wanting to ask Shang Lin, "You, as the sect leader, are usually very easygoing, never smiling or speaking, so why are all your disciples so aloof? Where do they all come from?"

But with the parties involved present, he couldn't say anything himself, so he asked Shang Lin, "What about the quadruplets? Didn't you see them?"

Shang Lin's answer was particularly concise: "They were devoured by the vengeful spirits and turned to ashes."

Yu Qingfeng, "..."

Shang Lin then took out the clothes he had bought for Yu Qingfeng and said apologetically, "I don't know what kind of clothes you usually wear. I only bought them for warmth, so you don't need to transfer the money to me for the clothes."

Yu Qingfeng immediately came to her senses, "Of course I need to wear warm clothes in winter, and as a grown man, I don't care about style, as long as it fits."

"That's good."

But seeing that Shang Lin had bought the whole set, Yu Qingfeng said, "It's really kind of you to be so thoughtful."

"Can I say that this is the first time I've been this attentive?" Shang Lin smiled again. "So when you're discharged from the hospital, you'll have to wear it, even if it's a bit of a hassle."

She Jinxing returned quickly and said as soon as he entered the door, "I asked, and the doctor said to avoid eating foods that are too difficult to digest, and also not to eat too much. We need to take it step by step."

Shang Lin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Alright, let's eat."
