Upon seeing Shang Lin's condition, Hu Tangdi became worried and hurriedly asked, "Is the Sect Master injured?"

No way, how could I and She Jinxing, who were protecting the sect leader together, possibly get him injured? If that's really the case, then they might as well just go back to the cycle of reincarnation.

Shang Lin immediately snapped out of her daze, "No, I just don't understand why some people, once they choose to get married and have children, can't take on the responsibilities they should. As for whether it's a boy or a girl, aren't they still their own children? How could they..."

Shang Lin was a little angry. He calmed his breathing before continuing, "And there's the issue of school bullying. Whether you're the bully or the bullied, it's directly related to your family of origin. If you're not capable of taking responsibility, then don't get married or have children. Why harm others?"

Hu Tangdi and She Jinxing looked at Shang Lin with some surprise. Was their sect leader... angry? Don't underestimate him because of his young age; there aren't many things that can make him emotional.

Hu Tangdi hurriedly advised, "Sect Master, human affairs have nothing to do with us. Oh, I mean ordinary humans. Sect Master is naturally different from ordinary humans."

She Jinxing hurriedly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. In this vast world, there are all kinds of people. It's chilly at night, so please don't catch a cold, Sect Master."

Shang Lin took a deep breath before saying to Hu Tangdi, "Go and investigate this girl's parents and the classmates who bullied her. Be thorough."

Hu Tangdi and She Jinxing immediately looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes. But she hurriedly asked, "The child has already been reincarnated, so what... is there left to investigate?"

Shang Lin immediately interrupted Hu Tangdi, “I can’t watch that girl die in vain. Perhaps my abilities are limited now, but if I don’t do something, my Dao heart will be unstable and it will affect my future cultivation. Although I am not an ordinary person, I am not a god who is indifferent to the world without joy or sorrow.”

Hu Tangdi, “…”

I especially want to say, "Sect Leader, you should just remain a god who is indifferent to joy and sorrow and coldly observes the world."

But when she thought about how, if Shang Lin really did that, how could she and She Jinxing possibly survive? So, despite still being very puzzled, Hu Tangdi finally looked at Shang Lin and said, "I'll go right now."

She Jinxing hurriedly said, "I'll escort the sect leader back; it's really chilly at night."

Shang Lin slowly exhaled before agreeing. She Jinxing hurriedly sent him back and only returned to the Dragon Spirit Tower after confirming that his emotions had indeed calmed down.

However, Shang Lin did not rest immediately, but checked on Meng Zhe's condition again. The man was still asleep, and his pulse was stable, but his complexion was not good. This was much better than expected. He immediately lay down on his bunk and fell asleep without taking off his clothes.

When Su Jinghang's alarm clock rang, Shang Lin felt as if this sleep would only last for a quarter of an hour, but he still got up immediately and subconsciously looked at Meng Zhe. The man also moved, but very slowly, as if he had been forcibly woken up from a deep sleep.

Su Jinghang and Lin Shengqi were the fastest; they had already dressed and were about to wash up. But when Su Jinghang saw Shang Lin's face, he immediately stopped. "Shang Lin, did you not sleep well last night? You have dark circles under your eyes, and you don't look well either."

Shang Lin smiled slightly, "Yeah, there was a mosquito in my mosquito net last night, and it really bothered me."

"Hehehe..." Lin Shengqi laughed rather unkindly, "I've experienced it once before, and the feeling was truly extraordinary."

Su Jinghang chuckled, clearly having had similar experiences, but he quickly suppressed his smile and looked at Shang Lin with some concern, "Can you attend class today? If not, I can help you ask for leave."

Shang Lin hurriedly said, "It's alright, go wash up quickly."

"All right."

Su Jinghang and Lin Shengqi left with the washbasins. Shang Lin hurriedly went to check on Meng Zhe, only to see him rubbing his forehead while getting dressed, almost instinctively reaching for the washbasin, looking completely dazed.

Shang Lin hurriedly stepped forward and joked, "Meng Zhe, are you still asleep? Are you being tormented by mosquitoes like me?"

Meng Zhe instinctively shook his head, "Mosquitoes won't bite me, I'm... I'm going to wash up."

Shang Lin watched Meng Zhe's retreating figure. Since there are extraordinary beings in the human world, there will also be extraordinary individuals. However, due to reality, they will hide their identities, or rather, they will try their best not to frighten ordinary people when doing things, like Meng Zhe.

From the first meeting, I couldn't see his face, so I knew he was different from ordinary people. It's just that Meng Zhe is still young and his cultivation is not enough. Also, last night he went to "save" me and dealt with the Ouija board incident. As a result of the combination of factors, the ghost got the better of him.

Today is Friday, a holiday that comes every two weeks. Not only are there no evening classes, but there's also one less class in the afternoon, so that students whose homes aren't in the county can go home earlier. Fortunately, there are fewer classes today, which is why Shang Lin and Meng Zhe were able to persevere.

Su Jinghang was still puzzled and couldn't help but ask Shang Lin, "You 'fed' mosquitoes last night, what's wrong with Meng Zhe? Why does he look so listless? When the math teacher called on him to answer a question, he was still half asleep."

Shang Lin, "..."

How was he supposed to answer that question? Given what happened last night, even if Shang Lin and Su Jinghang told him the truth, he probably wouldn't believe them. Besides, Su Jinghang is such a timid person, wouldn't that scare him?

So Shang Lin could only try to get away with it, "Aren't you going to hurry home after school? Aren't you in a hurry?"

Su Jinghang smiled slightly, "Of course there's no rush, because my home is in the county."

Shang Lin was taken aback. Okay, he had forgotten about this. Su Jinghang and Lin Shengqi, who lived in their dormitory, were from the county. Meng Zhe was in a similar situation, living in a village under the county's jurisdiction. However, their village was not in the mountains, had a larger population, and was closer to the county.

Shang Lin didn't know the exact location. They just mentioned it casually during their chats, it wasn't like they were investigating household registrations. However, he hurriedly picked up his schoolbag and left, saying as he walked, "I'm in a hurry, my family doesn't live in the county."

Although Shang Lin walked, he had already left the classroom before he finished speaking. Su Jinghang was momentarily stunned, but then smiled. It seemed that the man was feeling better.

As Shang Lin walked out of the school gate, he saw Old Man Chai and Li Hongjin, who were eagerly waiting for him. He didn't expect Li Hongjin to be here too, so he hurriedly went up to him and asked, "Why are you here too?"

Li Hongjin immediately took Shang Lin's large backpack. "Is there even a question? Of course, I'm here to pick you up."

Old Man Chai immediately handed Shang Lin a hot water bottle, saying, "Quickly, hug it to keep warm. How's studying? Are you tired? Is school good? Have your classmates been bullying you? Is the food in the cafeteria good?"

Shang Lin looked at Old Man Chai with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "I'm perfectly fine, and it's only mid-September, why would I need a hot water bottle?"
