Could it be because I'm not an adult yet? But Red Scorpion's down jacket is so warm, I feel warm all of a sudden.

Once he could no longer feel the cold, Fan Mingyu began to worry about Shang Lin, glancing at the manhole of the sewer every now and then. However, with his eyesight, he could only see about the size of the manhole.

Seeing Fan Mingyu's anxious and worried expression, Chi Xie offered a rare act of consideration, "Don't worry, Shang Lin will be fine. Besides, She Jinxing is down there too."

As for Changfeng, Chixie didn't mention it because Fan Mingyu hadn't seen it yet. To be precise, this was the first time he'd met Changfeng in its entirety.

Fan Mingyu then looked up at Red Scorpion, "Is Shang Lin very powerful? Is he more powerful, or are you?"

Although Fan Mingyu's question was naive, Chi Xie thought about it seriously and said, "He is powerful, but his power lies in his brain and methods; his strength is no match for mine."

Fan Mingyu instantly looked at Red Scorpion with the eyes of someone admiring a hero, "That means you each have your own strengths, you're all so amazing!"

But the next second Fan Mingyu looked dejected again. He didn't seem to have any strengths! No wonder Shang Lin said before that he should work hard so as not to feel inferior in front of his fellow disciples. He was feeling a little inferior now.

His mind was inexplicably invaded by something, and then he was uncontrollably taken to such a far place by that thing. In the end, Shang Lin had to mobilize his disciples to rescue him.

Sigh, comparing yourself to others is just asking for trouble!

Sensing that Fan Mingyu's mood had suddenly sombered, Chi Xie advised him with a sense of camaraderie, "Don't overthink it. After all, you're just an ordinary human being, unlike us... weirdos. Besides, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Shang Lin recruited you, so you must have some exceptional qualities."

That being said, "I'm still far behind you all. Like what happened today, I..."

Red Scorpion suddenly laughed and said, "The probability of something like today happening is just a coincidence. Most ordinary people live ordinary lives, so don't overthink it."

If it were the previous Chi Xie, he definitely wouldn't have said a word to Fan Mingyu. But recently, he's been filming videos and doing live streams with Huang Ying and Huang Li, and they're gradually developing a bit of a sense of camaraderie.

And most importantly, Fan Mingyu is a human being, a real human being, not like Shang Lin, who wears the innocent and harmless exterior of an ordinary human being, but whose inner self is a weirdo. Therefore, he must be treated gently.

As the two were talking, Shang Lin jumped up, and Fan Mingyu hurriedly asked, "How is it? Has the problem been solved?"

Shang Lin nodded, but then noticed that Fan Mingyu was actually wearing the Crimson Scorpion's outer garment. He was somewhat surprised that this rebellious little scorpion actually had the intention of becoming a fellow disciple?! That's truly rare.

Although Shang Lin only glanced at him, Chi Xie understood the meaning in his eyes and immediately said with some dissatisfaction, "What if the child gets cold if he's not dressed properly? If I don't take good care of him, won't you blame me again?"

Shang Lin, "..."

I feel a bit wronged. He didn't say anything, okay? Besides, he seemed relieved, so why is he blaming me?

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Fan Mingyu hurriedly asked Shang Lin, "Then how are we going to get back to school? Oh right, I haven't asked the teacher for leave yet, so we need to go back..."

"Don't worry, I've already asked." Shang Lin quickly interrupted Fan Mingyu, then asked with a smile, "Aren't you cold wearing your senior brother's clothes?"

Fan Mingyu nodded very honestly, "Yeah, it's so strange. Is there some kind of advanced technology in this clothing? Like, can it automatically heat up or something?"

Shang Lin smiled at Chi Xie, "Then you'll have to ask your senior brother."

Fan Mingyu subconsciously looked at Chi Xie, only to see the other party asking Shang Lin with a stern face, "You still haven't told us how we're going to get back?"

Shang Lin then replied, "Little Snake went to get the car, we'll be there in a bit."

"Get the car?" Fan Mingyu felt something was off, then realized what was going on. "Hey, why are you the only one coming up? Isn't Brother Jin still downstairs?"

Shang Lin replied dismissively, "He left through another exit."

"Oh." But something still felt off.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, She Jinxing arrived in his car. Shang Lin and Fan Mingyu got into the car while rehearsing their statements to avoid being exposed if the teachers asked them questions back at school.

Red Scorpion, who hasn't gotten his driver's license yet, can only call a car halfway back to continue working. As for using magic, it's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

There's no other reason than that there's far too much surveillance in the human world these days, and what if we accidentally create another paranormal event...

Heh, their sect leader is going to be furious! It's better to avoid trouble!

She Jinxing first dropped Shang Lin and Fan Mingyu off at school, then parked the car in the residential area before quickly disappearing to look for Shang Lin. Because they left early, they only missed two classes, and it was currently the morning break.

Since Shang Lin had taken leave, he went directly to find Fu Xinyu. She Jinxing hurriedly followed to prevent any further accidents from happening, but on the way, he couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Shang Lin, "How can the sect leader confirm whether Fu Xinyu has been affected?"

"Take my pulse, and also my exorcism talisman." Shang Lin explained using telepathy, "If the exorcism talisman is still there, then everything is fine. If it's destroyed, then I'll have to take your pulse..."

When classmates started playing around, Shang Lin quickly dodged them, interrupting his words in the process. After dodging, he continued to transmit his voice to She Jinxing, "Once you've confirmed the pulse, you can do it again."

She Jinxing also dodged slightly. He had only used an invisibility spell, not actually disappeared. "Sect Master, rest assured, I will fully cooperate and will absolutely not cause any supernatural events on campus that would cause panic among the students."

Fu Xinyu and Zhou Heng were assigned to Class 8 this time, so Shang Lin went straight to Class 8. However, he saw Zhou Heng but not Fu Xinyu, so he hurriedly asked Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng didn't understand why Shang Lin suddenly wanted to see Fu Xinyu, but he still told the truth, "He has a bit of an upset stomach and went to the bathroom."

Without saying a word, Shang Lin went to the bathroom to find someone, which stunned Zhou Heng. How urgent was it? But the next second, curiosity made him follow.

Before Shang Lin could even reach the men's restroom, Fu Xinyu came out clutching his stomach. Shang Lin quickly went up to him and grabbed him, asking, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Seeing Shang Lin's worried look, Fu Xinyu explained, "It's just a bit of a stomachache. I probably ate something unclean for breakfast."

Shang Lin pulled Fu Xinyu's wrist and pressed his fingers directly on his pulse, leaving Fu Xinyu and Zhou Heng, who had come looking for him, dumbfounded. This...

How about traditional Chinese medicine doctors?
