I just want to do something within my power so as not to feel like I'm just freeloading. Old Man Chai is just overthinking things. But, "It's good to have something to do, but we must make sure he takes care of his health."

"Sect Master, rest assured, we're all watching. Besides, he doesn't know how much money we have. He's always worried about losing everything if he gets sick, so he's being very careful."

"That's good." It's good that he can distinguish between what's important and what's not. "By the way, Fan Mingyu said his company is for sale. Have you made enough contacts?"

"Well, there are two companies that have expressed interest, but there's a huge difference between expressing interest and actually transferring money and signing a contract. The little boy just can't keep his composure."

What's with this fatherly tone? Shang Lin couldn't help but laugh, "You're only a few years older than him? How dare you call him a little boy?"

Xing Tian subconsciously retorted, "Anyone under the age of eighteen is a little boy."

"Fine, you decide." Yuan Shanglin wasn't even eighteen yet, so he had to keep pretending to be young.

After replying to some messages in the group, Shang Lin didn't have any special plans for today. So he went to look at cars with She Jinxing. As soon as the New Year holiday was over, they would be registering the Yuntai Sect, which included a business project to exorcise evil spirits. They would have to travel around a lot, and one car was obviously not enough.

Although Shang Lin had no idea about cars, at least he could look at the exterior and listen to the salesperson's introduction. He couldn't let Xing Tian pick and choose and buy them all at once, as that would be too much of a waste of time.

She Jinxing and I can first narrow down the choices, and then Xing Tian can make the final selection. Then we can just go and buy them directly, saving a lot of time.

She Jinxing never expected that the sect leader could actually "stroll around," and he was even browsing a car dealership. To be fair, his understanding of cars was no less than that of Shang Lin.

Not to mention that before meeting Shang Lin, She Jinxing basically worked illegally and couldn't earn enough money to buy a car. Without an ID card, he was excluded from many things.

Of course, the most important point is that She Jinxing did not want to live in the human world forever. He wanted to cultivate, advance in rank, and transform into a dragon, all of which had nothing to do with humans.

So She Jinxing couldn't help but ask Shang Lin, "Is it a bit of an exaggeration for the two of us to come out and look at cars when we know almost nothing about them?"

Shang Lin said nonchalantly, "If you don't understand, just ask. Besides, this is just a preliminary selection, and the final decision rests with Xing Tian."

"Alright." You're the sect leader, so you decide. "How many are you planning to buy, sect leader?"

“We have three driver’s licenses at home now. It won’t be long before Red Scorpion gets one too. Let’s buy three more cars then, otherwise it’s inconvenient to drive around.”

She Jinxing, “…”

He suddenly realized that their sect leader was a bit extravagant. Well, if it weren't for the fact that their cultivation was so expensive, their sect leader would indeed be extravagant. Unfortunately, while they made money quickly, they spent it just as quickly!

It snowed on Shang Lin's way back yesterday, and the highway was even temporarily closed, but it didn't snow much in City C, so it was negligible. But it was cold, especially the wind that made people's faces hurt.

Fortunately, Shang Lin is less affected by the natural environment now. If it were before, he would definitely go home and do other things instead of wandering around outside.

Shang Lin first went to a 4S store, but looking at the cars, none of them caught his eye. He needed a car that could easily encounter danger while driving, so it had to look imposing and powerful, and the interior space had to be large enough.

Of course, after buying the car, I would need to use some magic to strengthen it, such as defensive magic arrays, exorcism talismans... Wait a minute, what did Situ Pojun do with the four cars left behind by the exorcists?

Sigh, forget it, we can't even get in touch with the person, so what's the point of talking about the car? So Shang Lin took notes while looking at the car, and occasionally asked She Jinxing for his opinion.

She Jinxing especially wanted to say, "My opinion is really not of any reference value, because in my opinion, no car can withstand my barrage of attacks."

However, She Jinxing was indeed looking carefully, listening attentively, and even asking questions earnestly, not caring at all even if he was disliked by some salespeople.

No matter how much the other party dislikes it, you still have to obediently introduce it to them. After all, money is hard to earn these days, and if all else fails, you can go to another store. There aren't many things to sell these days.

However, Shang Lin and She Jinxing were very much in agreement on some requirements, such as that the car should be sturdy, have a large interior space, and be dark in color, preferably black.

After browsing around all afternoon, Shang Lin spotted ten cars. He planned to send the photos to Xing Tian when he got home, urging him to buy them as soon as possible so he could build internal defense arrays and strengthen the system. Otherwise, he wouldn't have time to do so when school started.

Oh right, there's a car show in the provincial capital, but it's at the end of February. Shang Lin just started school that day, so he didn't have time to go. Just as they were about to go home, they ran into Cheng Qiao, who was also there to see the cars.

Cheng Qiao wasn't alone; he had two other young men with him. They looked to be about the same age as him, but their complexions were quite poor, and they looked weak and anemic.

To be honest, although Shang Lin is human, he is unwilling to interact with humans in the human world because the differences in their understanding are too great, making him particularly incompatible, especially with his underage classmates.

But no matter how unwilling they are to interact, they're almost face to face now, they can't just pretend not to see each other, can they? Besides, they don't know how many more years they'll be living in the human world, so they should try to integrate.

However, Cheng Qiao was quite willing to interact with Shang Lin. As soon as she saw him, she said, "What a coincidence, we've met again. Are you... looking to buy a car?"

Shang Lin smiled slightly, "No, I'm just here with my cousin."

Cheng Qiao immediately looked at She Jinxing and said, "Hello, cousin."

She Jinxing simply nodded slightly, without saying a word, displaying a particularly aloof demeanor.

Cheng Qiao didn't mind and continued to ask, "Have you decided what you've done?"

"No." For some reason, Shang Lin felt that Cheng Qiao was being a little too enthusiastic towards her. So she said, "We have to go back now, goodbye."

"……goodbye."

Shang Lin immediately walked towards the door, and then heard someone behind her ask, "Who's that person?"

Cheng Qiao replied, "Classmate."

"What's their background?"

"From Qingfeng Temple, right?"

"What about the person next to him? Their aura...it's a bit off!"

Shang Lin casually pushed open the door and went out first. He then hailed a taxi on the roadside and rode home with She Jinxing, but his expression was not good the whole way.

The two people with Cheng Qiao reminded him subconsciously of those demon hunters who were neither human nor demon. He couldn't see their faces, but he could clearly feel the disordered aura around them.

Most importantly, they also sensed that the little snake's aura was unusual; it was clearly not an ordinary human! Could it be that those demon hunters had fellow disciples?
