Originally, Fan Mingyu thought that Chu Jiusheng would provoke him whenever he saw him, as if he couldn't show his uniqueness without doing so.

Fan Mingyu also disliked Chu Jiusheng intensely, thinking he was like a child, utterly childish and hopelessly immature. Yet Shang Lin insisted that he get along with him, which was truly...

A nameless anger surged in Fan Mingyu's heart. If Chu Jiusheng continued to target him, he wouldn't care about harmonious or disharmonious coexistence; he would definitely shut him up.

However, today, Chu Jiusheng seemed to have taken the wrong medicine? He acted as if he didn't recognize Fan Mingyu at all, and just walked right past him!

Fan Mingyu, “…”

His eyes widened in shock. What was going on? Ignoring him in class was one thing—everyone has their pride and doesn't want to argue—but this was outside! He…

Not only did they not say anything unpleasant, but they didn't even give me a cold look. No, no, they acted as if they didn't recognize me at all. This is unprecedented!

Is this some new trick Chu Jiusheng is up to?! Seriously? He's such a tall, big guy, does he really need to do this...?

For a moment, Fan Mingyu couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe Chu Jiusheng's current state, but this was fine too, to avoid making himself feel bad.

When Shang Lin returned home, he was surprised to receive a message from Lin Yu. The message was sent to him privately: "Sect Master Shang, I have prepared the gift of thanks. Would you like to come and pick it up, or wait until I am done here and then send it to you?"

Shang Lin was stunned. How did Lin Yu know it was him?! He hadn't shown his face at all! And with everything so chaotic last night, how did Lin Yu find time to prepare a thank-you gift for him?

So it was because of the intervention of officials that the matter was resolved so quickly?

However, Shang Lin still asked curiously: How did you know it was me?

Divine Medicine Sect - Lin Yu: Teleportation Talisman. As far as I know, only Sect Master Shang can draw teleportation talismans, and only Sect Master Shang can use them. Although Sect Master Shang did not appear last night, I could still clearly feel that someone was helping me in a moment of crisis. However, last night was too chaotic, and I did not have time to think about it carefully, nor did I find any trace of the teleportation talisman.

Shang Lin, "..."

It turns out it was because of the teleportation talisman.

But after considering their respective schedules, Shang Lin replied: "Let's wait until you're done with your work. If there's anything I can help with in the follow-up matters, just let me know. I'll do my best if I can."

Shenyao Sect - Lin Yu: Thank you, Sect Master Shang. However, with the intervention of official personnel this time, I'm afraid Shenyao Sect will have to undergo a comprehensive overhaul. As for what it will become in the future, we don't know.

Yuntai Sect - Shang Lin: Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, so you don't need to think too much about it. How are your injuries and those of Sect Leader Liu?

Shenyao Sect - Lin Yu: The sect leader is more seriously injured, and most of the injuries are internal. I think his injuries are more serious, but they are all external. He will recover after a period of rest.

Shang Lin believed that the members of the Divine Medicine Sect would recover quickly unless their injuries were fatal, and no matter how much harm they were done to others, they would always have some life-saving medicines.

However, the creation, development, growth, and continuation of a sect is extremely difficult. What's more, there's the fear of having no successors and encountering someone with ulterior motives, making the sect's destruction all too easy!

I wonder how the Yuntai Sect in the cultivation world is doing? I, as the sect leader, failed my tribulation, and my disciples... I hope the elders can elect a new sect leader as soon as possible, lest the Yuntai Sect suffer the same fate as the Divine Medicine Sect last night!

Last night, the Divine Medicine Sect had official intervention, which at least preserved the sect's foundation. But in the cultivation world, where are the official officials? It's all about the strong being respected.

Even if some prestigious and righteous sects maintain order, they must be powerful enough, otherwise who would care?

Moreover, if a sect encounters trouble, it's like a tree falling and the monkeys scattering; being divided up is the normal outcome, and it's unlikely to even maintain its foundation.

When She Jinxing saw Shang Lin check his phone as soon as he returned, and then become distracted again, he asked, "What's wrong, Sect Master? Did something happen?"

Upon hearing She Jinxing's voice, Shang Lin finally came to his senses. In fact, since his soul transmigrated to the human world, he rarely thought about his past life, because he knew that thinking about it was useless, so he never made things difficult for himself.

After all, when he first transmigrated, survival was incredibly difficult. Strictly speaking, this is only the second time Shang Lin has done so. He thought of the Yuntai Sect in the cultivation world.

Shang Lin smiled slightly before replying, "Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little sleepy and can't concentrate."

Upon hearing this, She Jinxing hurriedly said, "Then Sect Master, please eat quickly. Taking a nap after eating will make you feel better."

"Hmm." Shang Lin quickly washed his hands and ate, taking a bite before asking, "How is everyone?"

“General Ji left early this morning, Xing Tian and Hu Tangdi also went to work, Huang Ying and Huang Li are still asleep, and Chi Xie…” She Jinxing paused for a moment before laughing, “He’s still buried in the ground.”

Shang Lin, "..."

What's the meaning?

She Jinxing completely understood Shang Lin's confusion and continued to laugh, "We didn't figure out what Red Scorpion was doing either. But since the Blood Moon, he has reverted to his original form and buried himself in the ground."

Shang Lin looked shocked. "He was so big, where was he buried?"

Although the Dragon Spirit Tower has expanded considerably, Green Yao has been seizing land at an astonishing speed, and no one wants to set foot in any of the herb gardens.

However, inside the Dragon Spirit Tower, besides the herb garden, there are also fruit and vegetable gardens, houses, small squares, and other places that occupy land. There really isn't much open space. There's probably only a little bit by the river, since the water level is uncertain. Even Green One can't grab any space for the sake of the medicinal herbs.

She Jinxing laughed again, "It's not that big. It's clearly no different in size from an ordinary scorpion, just a different color."

Shang Lin was puzzled, "Could the Blood Moon have such a severe effect on the little scorpion?!"

That can't be right, can it? He's a powerful demon, after all, and his age should be similar to She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi. She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi are both fine, so how could Red Scorpion be any worse than them?

She Jinxing shook his head, "I don't know either, anyway, he hasn't come out yet."

Shang Lin was a little worried, "Will he be alright?"

"Probably not?" Shang Lin's question made She Jinxing a little unsure. "I'll go check in a bit."

"Okay, if there's any problem you can't solve, just call me."

"good."

Shang Lin quickly finished his lunch and then went to sleep. He had exhausted himself the night before and needed to rest. Moreover, since reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, he hadn't been cultivating much and felt like he had become weaker again!
