Surviving a Tribulation Failure and Collecting Disciples in the Mortal World

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 290 Talking Around the bush

Shang Lin rubbed his hair in frustration, hoping his senses were wrong. The next second, he unusually took out his phone, intending to watch some videos, mainly looking at She Jinxing's account.

On one hand, I wanted to distract myself, and on the other hand, I wanted to see what Red Scorpion had filmed. As a result, when I clicked on She Jinxing's account, it was actually live streaming.

Shang Lin subconsciously checked the time. It was the middle of the night. They weren't resting, but Old Man Chai still needed to rest. Why were they still live streaming?

Shang Lin immediately clicked in, but there was no sign of Old Man Chai in the live stream, nor was the streamer's face shown. However, the well-fitting suit made him realize who it was—Red Scorpion.

Unexpectedly, even a grown man like Chi Xie is not much worse than Hu Tangdi when he dresses up. It seems that one suit is not enough and he will have to buy another one. I just wonder if Xing Tian will think that he is being biased?

Actually, the matter of suits is a thing of the past for Xing Tian. After all, as a qualified disciple, one should understand everything about the sect leader. Besides, as long as one has money, what one wears is no longer important.

Shang Lin, who wasn't sleepy at first, became drowsy after looking at her phone for a while, which shows that while electronic products bring convenience, they also have a significant impact on people's health.

So Shang Lin decisively left the live stream and quickly fell asleep. Yes, asleep, because he was dreaming again. But this time, the dream wasn't because Chang Feng had dragged him in. He seemed to be dreaming about the culprit that had suddenly made him so irritable.

It was a scaly creature hidden in the clouds, but he couldn't make out what it was. However, Shang Lin could clearly feel its frenzy, as if it were striking straight to his heart.

Shang Lin suddenly woke up from his dream. It was already bright outside the window, and he could vaguely hear people setting off firecrackers. He rubbed his slightly sore temples. So what exactly was the original owner of this body? Or rather, what exactly was the original owner's mother?

A scaly creature? A fish? A snake? A jiao? A dragon? A qilin? But fish and snake are more likely. Jiao, dragon and qilin are probably impossible. Not to mention whether they are legendary species, even if they exist, they have existed for a very long time.

If Yuan Shanglin's mother was such a powerful demon, could she really be someone obsessed with love? It would be illogical for her not to be focused on ascension, let alone repaying a debt of gratitude with her body…

Haha, you've been reading too many novels, haven't you?

There are many ways to repay a debt of gratitude, so why must it be done by offering oneself in marriage? And if that's not the case, why have to have a child with the child? And in the end, even lose your life.

However, men's way of thinking is completely different from women's, so Shang Lin couldn't be sure. She could only get up, wash up, and prepare to start her busy day.

That's right, I'm busy. People who have been idle for two days can't stay still anymore. What else can I do but keep busy? At the very least, I'll have to call Xing Tian over to brush up on my foreign language skills.

The top students at No. 1 High School are incredibly talented; I absolutely cannot let my guard down. What if I don't get the top score in the college entrance exam? Wouldn't that be a complete waste of time?

Shang Lin had just finished washing up when his phone rang. He remembered it was Situ Pojun or Shang Jing calling to let him know they were safe on the island, so he quickly picked up his phone, only to find it was Mo Ce calling.

This was clearly something important, so Shang Lin quickly answered the phone and obediently greeted the person, "Brother Mo."

"Happy New Year to that Xiao Shang," Mo Ce said, seemingly embarrassed to speak, and kept changing the subject.

After listening for a while, Shang Lin went straight to the point, "Brother Mo, please feel free to speak your mind. I will definitely do what I can, and I will also try to find a way to do what I can't."

These were the words Huo Yan had once spoken to Shang Lin. Now, facing Mo Ce, he felt that he shared the same feelings as Huo Yan, and that these feelings were absolutely genuine.

Mo Ce was clearly shocked by Shang Lin's words. After a while, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Look at me, I'm not as open and honest as you, a minor. It's like this, my teammate has become an uncle, but his nephew keeps crying. They went to the hospital but couldn't find out the cause. His sister wants to find a reliable person to take a look, but his brother-in-law doesn't believe in these things. So I wanted to ask you if you have any ideas?"

Because the child's father didn't believe it, this matter was somewhat thankless and difficult, so Mo Ce was too embarrassed to ask Shang Lin for help. However, if he didn't ask, he was afraid that his teammates wouldn't be able to find a truly reliable expert, and things would only get worse. That's why he swallowed his pride and asked for help.

Shang Lin listened without feeling any emotional reaction. After all, the human world is now in the Dharma-ending Age, and such supernatural events are rare. It's normal for people not to believe in them.

Therefore, Shang Lin said quite frankly, "I need to see the child, see the child's living environment, and even see the people who regularly take care of the child before I can determine what happened and where his home is."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ce realized that Shang Lin had agreed and hurriedly said, "It's in the provincial capital. Whenever you have time, we'll come pick you up. But as for your brother-in-law... I hope you'll be understanding."

Shang Lin smiled, "It's alright. After all, these kinds of things are mysterious and it's normal not to believe them. I happen to be free today, so why don't you come at ten o'clock?"

"Okay, see you at ten o'clock."

Shang Lin put down his phone, feeling a little excited. Business had come in! He needed to get Xing Tian to process their Yuntai Sect's business license as soon as possible to avoid affecting their ability to make money.

Old Man Chai and Red Scorpion didn't come back yesterday, so Hu Tangdi made breakfast today. She yawned as she greeted Shang Lin, who was walking to the table, "Sect Master, good morning."

Shang Lin glanced at the time subconsciously; it was almost nine in the morning, and she was still sleepy? Then she looked at Hu Tangdi and asked, "Didn't sleep well? Where's She Jinxing? Why are you making breakfast today?"

Hu Tangdi sat opposite Shang Lin and couldn't help but yawn again. "Don't even mention it. Xiao Bai was probably scared yesterday. It kept making a fuss, and the little snake couldn't handle it no matter what. It had no choice but to call me to coax the cub. I didn't expect the cub to be so hard to coax. I felt more tired than fighting. She Jinxing was stuck with Xiao Bai and couldn't get away. Besides, he's more patient than me, so I had to make breakfast for the sect leader."

Shang Lin touched his nose a little embarrassedly. He had suddenly gotten carried away last night and only wanted to vent his anger, completely disregarding the cub. Moreover, Xiao Bai had been hurt by humans before, so it would be more afraid of them.

Sigh, I'm really not a good enough sect leader!

Shang Lin couldn't help but cough before saying, "What does Xiaobai like? I'll get it to coax him later."

Hu Tangdi's mind was still foggy and he wasn't fully awake yet, so he casually said, "A cub, well, it just likes to eat, and secondly, it likes to play."

"Alright, then let's buy it some food to appease it." As for toys, there's a river in the Dragon Spirit Tower, so it can play wherever it wants.
