The little boy looked at Lan Xuan carefully, and then at Shang Lin carefully, as if to confirm that what they said was true. In the end, he nodded in agreement.

When the little boy nodded, Shang Lin felt a sense of relief. Although he had the heart of a "kind father," he was really not a babysitter! Moreover, he didn't know how to deal with human infants. He always felt that they were very fragile, both physically and mentally, and he dared not touch them.

However, Lan Xuan did not linger. As soon as the little boy agreed, he immediately left with his men, looking very hurried and busy.

As soon as Lan Xuan left, Shang Lin hurriedly asked She Jinxing, "How's Xiao Bai? Did she cause any trouble tonight?"

She Jinxing was surprised that Shang Lin asked about Xiaobai as soon as he opened his mouth. He paused for a moment before answering, "The sect leader may need to coax him a little more. Although he didn't make a fuss tonight, he was a bit listless."

Shang Lin reached out and wiped his face, sighing softly, "Sigh, it seems I need to control my emotions more often in the future, otherwise I might scare someone again."

She Jinxing hurriedly said, "Sect Master didn't mean it. Who knew Changfeng would cause such a ruckus!"

After finishing his sentence, She Jinxing quickly changed the subject, "Didn't the sect leader ask Lan Xuan how their new section chief is doing? And what about that little boy? Can Lan Xuan really help him fulfill his wish if we just hand him over like this?"

"I asked about the new director, and Lan Xuan told me a legend: a fallen god! Can you believe it? I certainly don't, but whether you believe it or not, just avoid contact with him in the future. As for that little boy, since Lan Xuan took him away, he can keep his word."

She Jinxing looked at Shang Lin in astonishment, “In the last three thousand years, even great demons have basically disappeared from the human world, let alone gods. Even fallen gods were gods before!”

“Perhaps…” Shang Lin paused for a moment before saying, “There is another possibility, like me, who came from another realm, except that I only came as a soul, while he came in person.”

She Jinxing, “…”

"I do think it's possible for you, Sect Master, to cross over into another realm, but for someone to do it personally... that's truly legendary. However, at this time, Sect Master should continue to rest, lest you don't sleep well and lack energy during the day."

"Um."

She Jinxing returned to the Dragon Spirit Tower, and Shang Lin went back to bed. Only then did he remember that he hadn't yet contacted buyers for the items in the Meng family's basement.

Fearing that he would forget again because he was busy, Shang Lin didn't care about the time and sent it directly to the fellow cultivators' group. He even posted Meng Fanyu's contact information, telling them to contact him if they were interested. Then he put down his phone and rested.

There are now eight people in the group, not just six. The previous two were from the research association and rarely showed up, supposedly because they were very busy. The two new members are actually from the Divine Medicine Sect.

I wonder if they grow herbs or refine medicine? Of course, it's possible they do both. But Shang Lin doesn't have any intention of making contact for the time being, and besides, sleeping is the most important thing right now.

Shang Lin slept until nine in the morning, only to be woken up by Fan Mingyu's phone call. He picked up the phone groggily and answered, "So early, what's up?"

Fan Mingyu glanced at the time on his phone. "Still early? It's already nine in the morning. Why aren't you up yet? Did you play games last night?"

"Hmm," Shang Lin replied casually. "So, what's up?"

"What the heck! Shang Lin? You? You actually... play games?!"

If Fan Mingyu were a girl, he would probably scream like a groundhog, but even if he wasn't, his exclamation completely woke Shang Lin up.

But Shang Lin put down his phone and said calmly, "Don't be so alarmed. Tell me what happened. I need to go eat breakfast. I'm starving."

Fan Mingyu immediately became serious. "Um, well, didn't I tell you before that I wanted to sell the company? Now someone wants to buy it. Can you help me check their chances?"

"Someone bought it so quickly?" Shang Lin thought for a moment. It seemed that Fan Mingyu had this idea, or rather, it hadn't been long since he mentioned it to her.

"Yes, Brother Xing helped me make the contact."

Shang Lin wanted to say, "Then why don't you just ask Xing Tian to oversee things? Do you think I'm as capable as him?"

But the next second he realized that if Fan Mingyu wanted to sell the company, Xing Tian would definitely be there. The approval he was making was not the same as the approval Xing Tian was making, so he said, "Okay."

Fan Mingyu immediately felt a sense of relief and said, "Then let's go out and have some fun tonight."

"No, I'm not going." Shang Lin refused instantly. "I have to catch up on my lessons, I don't have time."

"Shang Lin!" Fan Mingyu roared, "You're number one on the exam list, and you still need extra lessons? Are you kidding me?"

Even though Shang Lin's phone wasn't on speakerphone, it was still deafeningly loud. "My first place is only in our No. 2 High School. Compared to No. 1 High School, there's still a huge gap, okay? Besides, No. 1 High School is just our provincial key high school. There are also high schools all over the country."

Fan Mingyu, “…”

After a long pause, he asked uncertainly, "With your grades, you could easily get into any top university, okay? What, are you aiming for a perfect score?"

While getting dressed and washing up, Shang Lin replied, "I would like to, but I can only do my best."

"What?!" Fan Mingyu's voice involuntarily rose again, "You, you, you, you're serious?!"

Are you working so hard because the sect leader wants to set an example? No, that doesn't make sense. There are only two of us students in the sect. Who are you setting an example for? Me?

Shang Lin didn't want to explain further, only saying, "Alright, kid, call me again when you're selling the company and officially signing the documents. I really need to eat now, I'm starving!"

"Okay, okay, bye-bye-bye." Fan Mingyu readily hung up the phone first.

After a quick wash, Shang Lin headed straight to the dining table. Since his body miraculously recovered, he not only had a huge appetite but also couldn't stand being hungry. When he was hungry, his stomach felt like it was being twisted into a pretzel.

After dinner, Shang Linzhen contacted Xing Tian, ​​"Please arrange your work hours and staff, and then give me some extra lessons. How much of my winter break homework do you still have to do? Bring it over and let's do it together."

Thinking of Shang Lin's winter break homework, Xing Tian said embarrassedly, "Sect Master, don't worry, I will arrange the personnel and work as soon as possible."

Shang Lin asked again, "Where is my godfather? Is he still with you?"

"Hmm." Xing Tian's face lit up when he mentioned Old Man Chai. "Like Red Scorpion, he gradually became interested and is learning very actively."

Maybe it's not out of interest, it's just...
