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...
Seeing that She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi looked exactly alike, Shang Lin smiled helplessly again, "I'm just a little sleepy, but I'm really fine. How are you?"
She Jinxing rubbed his forehead. "I'm fine, just a little tired from Xiaobai's antics. It's still a cub, so it's been affected a bit. It'll be fine in a few days. I'll make breakfast now."
Shang Lin hurriedly said, "Why bother with breakfast? I'll just go out and grab something to eat. You all go back to the tower and rest."
At this moment, the Divine Lord also came out of the tower. Like She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi, he looked at Shang Lin seriously, but asked, "Will you be able to attend classes normally today?"
Shang Lin was shocked. The Divine Lord's thought process was far more advanced than that of She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi! He could only continue to explain, "I'm really fine. I did feel a little unwell last night, but it passed quickly. However, I am indeed a bit sleepy. I need to have a cup of coffee to perk myself up."
Seeing that Shang Lin was indeed fine, the three who were worried about him went back to the Dragon Spirit Tower. They really needed to rest, maybe for a day, maybe for two days.
Shang Lin watched their disappearing figures, smiled helplessly, and felt a warm current welling up in his heart. But he knew he didn't have time to be sentimental; he still had class to attend.
However, as soon as Shang Lin entered the classroom today, he heard his classmates whispering about the blood moon. One of them said, "I heard that there are many supernatural events during this blood moon."
The other person then asked, "Really? Where did you hear this? Tell us."
"Stop it already! What supernatural event? It's all just hearsay and hype, just trying to get clicks."
"How can this be a rumor? I've heard that spiritual energy is reviving in the human realm, and cultivators have even appeared. It's not surprising that there are evil spirits around, is it?"
"Haha, you've been reading too many fantasy novels! Have you been fooled by those videos of people undergoing tribulations online?"
Lin Xiaoxiao asked Shang Lin in a low voice, "What are your thoughts on the Blood Moon?"
"Why do you ask that?" Shang Lin looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with great confusion, and replied in a low voice, "I don't have any ideas, I can't even finish all the practice questions every day."
Who has time to think about such nonsense? Besides, only energetic young people would be curious about this kind of thing. An old person like me doesn't even know what curiosity is anymore!
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Shang Lin's serious expression with some curiosity, "Why do I feel like you're different from other boys? Is this the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?"
Shang Lin, "..."
You've already made your own explanation and justified yourself, so what can I say? This is good, keep it up.
After the first class in the morning, Fan Mingyu came to find Shang Lin, pulled him aside and asked, "The sect had a team building activity yesterday, and I only saw the group message this morning. Why didn't you notify me?"
Shang Lin really wanted to say, "Telling you will cause trouble."
But when he opened his mouth, he laughed and said, "Luckily you didn't see it, because the team building activity was canceled."
Fan Mingyu asked instinctively, "Why?"
After asking, she realized, "Wait a minute, isn't the sect leader going to participate in the sect's team building activity? Did you skip class? Or wait, wasn't yesterday the monthly exam? You didn't attend evening classes because of the monthly exam, so you organized the team building activity?"
"Stop it already!" Shang Lin said with a headache. "What are you talking about all by yourself? You came to find me right after class just to talk about this?"
"That's right, how could such a big event as a sect activity not be important?"
You're quite proactive," Shang Lin thought, and had to praise you. "Not bad, not bad. Keep it up." He'd have to create a separate group for these oddballs when they got back, just in case something similar happened again and it would be hard to explain.
During the second math class, the math teacher handed Shang Lin a test paper, saying, "Take a look at this test paper. If you're willing, I still hope you can participate in the competition."
Shang Lin paused, not expecting the teacher to be so enthusiastic about encouraging him to participate in the competition. He could only take the test paper and say, "Okay."
Li Yaoyao immediately cast an envious and jealous look at Shang Lin. Although her math scores were also very good, she was always a little bit behind Shang Lin.
It feels like you've worked really hard and could be number one, but this person just slightly outshines you and pushes you out of first place.
Li Yaoyao bit her lip, secretly holding her breath, "Next time, next time I will definitely surpass you."
With his super-sensitive senses, Shang Lin easily felt Li Yaoyao's gaze. He genuinely didn't understand why this little girl seemed a bit... hostile towards him.
After thinking about it carefully, it seemed like they hadn't had any contact at all. However, the teacher had already started the lesson, and Shang Lin couldn't worry about anything else. She hoped that she had misjudged the situation!
Li Yaoyao was also a student who listened attentively in class, so even though she felt bad at the moment, she quickly focused on listening to the lesson. However, every time she looked at Shang Lin, she felt a surge of anger inside.
Li Yaoyao's feelings for Shang Lin were probably too obvious, even his deskmate Lin Xiaoxiao sensed it, so much so that when get out of class ended, she couldn't help but whisper to Shang Lin, "Did you offend Li Yaoyao?"
Shang Lin looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, puzzled. "Why are you asking such strange questions today? I haven't even spoken to Li Yaoyao, so how could I have offended her?"
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded slightly. "If that's the case, why do I feel that the way she looks at you is always so...unfriendly? If you didn't offend her, what else could it be?"
So it really wasn't my own misjudgment; even my deskmate sensed it! Deskmate, you're so good at talking to yourself and justifying yourself, keep it up!
This time, however, Lin Xiaoxiao clearly failed to make sense of herself and still looked at Shang Lin with a puzzled expression, as if waiting for his answer.
Shang Lin smiled helplessly, "Don't look at me, I don't know either."
"Sigh!" Lin Xiaoxiao sighed in a particularly mature tone, "Is this what it means to try to guess a girl's thoughts? You'll never figure it out no matter how hard you try?"
Shang Lin, "..."
He felt that his thought process was really out of sync with young people, especially such a young girl. Sigh, he really shouldn't have tried to act young and mingled with the younger generation!
But there's nothing we can do about it. Yuan Shanglin is a young man, so we have to keep up the act.
However, Shang Lin couldn't understand where Li Yaoyao's hostility towards him came from. But he didn't care. She was just a little girl; what could she do to him?
At lunchtime, Fan Mingyu habitually wanted to go home with Shang Lin, but when he got to the door of Class 1, he found that Shang Lin had already left.
Good heavens, what a heartless and ruthless sect leader! He said it was time, but then he refused to take me to his house!
Fan Mingyu walked dejectedly towards the stairs, and then, feeling heartbroken, he saw Chu Jiusheng, but...
