Situ Pojun and Shang Jing left in the early hours of the first day of the Lunar New Year. It's already the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year. Could they have just driven there as if they were sightseeing?

Situ Pojun: Yes, we stockpiled some supplies along the way, which caused us some delay.

The thought that Situ Pojun was able to send her a message meant his phone had a signal, so Shang Lin didn't send a message and called him directly. As soon as the call connected, she asked, "Was the journey smooth?"

The rumors about Situ Pojun were quite strong, and Shang Lin could hear them clearly even through the microphone. However, the other party's voice was very clear, unaffected by the environment. He said, "The journey was quite smooth, but I don't know if the sea route will be smooth."

"It will definitely go smoothly." Shang Lin suddenly laughed: "After all, it's the New Year. Every species needs to rest and have a happy New Year."

Situ Pojun, "..."

Do you even believe what you're saying? But you said, "Thank you for your kind words."

Shang Lin then asked, "How is Shang Jing?"

Situ Pojun spoke frankly, "He feels alright, but he must still be thinking about his mother. But there's nothing he can do about it. The living and the dead must be separated completely, so as not to harm the living."

This topic is getting a bit heavy, so Shang Lin quickly stopped her. "If you get to the island and your phone has a signal, don't forget to let me know, so I don't worry."

"Okay. It's windy, let's leave it at that."

"Okay, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Shang Lin felt somewhat heavy-hearted, not because of Shang Jing, but because his story made him lament the unpredictability of life and how talented people are often envied by fate.

Shang Jing and Xing Tian were both exceptionally capable and from wealthy families. They were at the peak of their careers, yet they both perished young. Although their spirits remain after death, what about the living?

Their demise was a fatal blow to the living. No wonder some say that heaven is unjust and that evil exists among men; it seems that this is not an exaggeration!

Shang Lin returned to the Dragon Spirit Tower somewhat annoyed, only to find that the Sword Spirit, Ah Chou, and She Jinxing were still locked in a fierce battle. He immediately flew into a rage and threw a talisman at the Sword Spirit.

Caught off guard, the sword spirit was struck, and immediately blue smoke rose from its body. Its figure swayed involuntarily, and it stared at Shang Lin in disbelief.

But then a golden light flashed in the other party's eyes, and an overwhelming pressure seemed to press down on him, forcing him to return to the sword body. He was then quickly sealed by Shang Lin and thrown directly to the second floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower, as if ready to reproduce and refine it at any time.

Moreover, Shang Lin's actions were truly fluid and decisive, leaving Shenjun, A Chou, and She Jinxing dumbfounded. Most importantly, they all clearly sensed that the sect leader had become angry.

In such a short period of time, what could have happened that made the sect leader, who is usually unmoved by anything, start resorting to force to solve problems?

He didn't hesitate to spend money on talismans, which were comparable to real heavenly lightning. Wasn't he worried about the impact on the Dragon Spirit Tower? The three aliens looked at each other in bewilderment, even waking up Hu Tangdi, who was taking a beauty nap, and he subconsciously ran over to check the situation.

But all she saw were people looking at each other blankly, and the sect leader looked unwell, which made her afraid to ask. She could only look at everyone's eyes to find out what had just happened.

Unfortunately, the Divine Lord was watching the Sect Master the whole time. Ah Chou was probably exhausted these past two days and went straight back to Zhu Bili. Meanwhile, She Jinxing was busy coaxing the cub, that's right, Xiao Bai.

No one knows whether the talisman that just hit had any effect on the Dragon Spirit Tower, but it had a big impact on Xiaobai. It immediately rushed to She Jinxing's side and quickly and tightly wrapped itself around his body, burying its big head in She Jinxing's shoulder, clearly quite frightened.

However, while comforting Xiaobai, She Jinxing transmitted his voice to Hu Tangdi, "The sect leader suddenly got angry and sealed Changfeng away. He must have been annoyed by it."

Hu Tangdi thought about the situation in the Dragon Spirit Tower over the past two days and felt that She Jinxing's guess was correct. Not to mention the sect leader was annoyed, even he himself was annoyed. It was indeed necessary to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

After Shang Lin dealt with the rebellious sword spirit, he felt much better. Only then did he notice the complicated expressions on the faces of the people around him. Especially when he saw Xiao Bai clinging to She Jinxing, he belatedly realized that he might have scared it.

Shang Lin quickly coughed before saying, "Go do what you're supposed to do."

After saying that, she walked up to She Jinxing, reached out and patted Xiaobai's head, "Sorry, sorry, I forgot about you."

Xiao Bai is now very afraid of Shang Lin. Not only does she refuse his touch, but she also hides in She Jinxing's arms, as if she wants to burrow into his body to feel safe.

She Jinxing hurriedly sheathed his natal sword, both hands comforting Xiaobai, but asked Shang Lin, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, I was just suddenly annoyed by that guy. The Divine Lord is right, it's better to have a fight. See, it's solved now. It shows that bad habits can't be tolerated."

God, "..."

Did I say that? Please don't misinterpret my meaning so easily.

However, the Divine Lord asked Shang Lin with some concern, "Are you really alright?" Would someone as unmoved as the Eight Winds be bothered by such a small matter?

Shang Lin rubbed his forehead. "I'm really fine. I'm sleepy. You guys should get some rest too. You haven't had a good rest these past two days."

After saying that, Shang Lin really went out to rest, leaving everyone in the Dragon Spirit Tower looking at each other in bewilderment. But the sect leader had already left, so why were they still staring at each other like that?

So Hu Tangdi went to get her beauty sleep, and A Chou also went to rest. If you were to ask who was the most tired these past two days, it would definitely be him. Even the God Lord, who was just watching, wasn't having an easy time, so he also went to rest. Only She Jinxing...

A frightened cub was still tightly wrapped around his body, so he could only transform back into his original form and take it to play in the water. As he always said, it would fall asleep obediently when it got tired of playing.

Shang Lin, who said he was sleepy, did not rest immediately, but instead began to think about the Divine Lord's question, "Are you really alright?"

Although he was feeling down because of the early deaths of Shang Jing and Xing Tian, ​​and was also annoyed by the sword spirit's antics, none of these things were enough to make him behave abnormally.

Having lived to his age, how many life-and-death situations had he not witnessed? He was practically used to it all. He wasn't exactly heartless, and as for the troublesome sword spirit…

I've encountered plenty of things even more troublesome than this, so why did I lose control of my emotions in that instant? Could it be that with the improvement of my cultivation and the recovery of my body, something hidden within me is slowly awakening?
