Shang Lin took a taxi home alone. The wind had stopped and the rain had ceased. It seemed that the dark clouds and torrential rain just now were Xu Feifei undergoing a "trial"!

However, if Xu Feifei hadn't met him, it would have truly been a disaster. He wondered who could be so cruel as to want to ruin someone's life!

If the human world weren't a society governed by the rule of law, wouldn't Xu Feifei be killed?

When Shang Lin returned home, Xing Tian was actually discussing his new novel with Ah Chou. He was shocked and subconsciously asked, "Didn't you just sign the first book? You've already written the second one, and now you're writing the third?! Even though you're not human, this speed... is really a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"

Ah Chou immediately explained, "The second book is a short story, and it's already finished. This one is a novel, and I'm wondering if I can write both books at the same time? That way, I can earn more money."

Xing Tian smiled and said, "The sect leader is back. Would you like to read Ah Chou's new novel?"

Shang Lin, "..."

Writing two books at the same time?! That's amazing! Won't that make things confusing? He subconsciously picked up Ah Chou's phone, and when he saw the title, he was shocked again: "The Villainous Female Supporting Character and Her Husbands"!

"Wait, is this another female-centric novel? And in ancient times, when men had multiple wives and concubines, did women follow suit?"

Xing Tian immediately laughed and said, "I didn't expect Ah Chou to write the female lead as an empress, but I've read it and it's quite fun."

Shang Lin, "..."

Upon hearing Xing Tian say the word "fun," Shang Lin lost all interest in reading. So, is this Ah Chou madman, or a madman of online novels? Or perhaps a madman of readers?

Shang Lin naturally changed the subject, "I don't have time to watch anymore. I went to see Lin Yu today, which took up a whole day. I haven't finished my homework yet, and I haven't caught up on my classes."

"Yes, yes, yes," Xing Tian hurriedly said, "Let's learn."

Ah Chou immediately took back his phone and echoed, "Then Sect Master, you can study now. I'm going back to the tower."

Shang Lin subconsciously wanted to rub his forehead. He felt that as Ah Chou wrote book after book, it would definitely become something he couldn't even imagine. His knowledge of the human world was indeed too limited!

Ah Chou, however, happily returned to the Dragon Spirit Tower and went straight to the third floor to continue writing his novel, feeling that he had wasted so much time in the past.

Shang Lin composed himself and refocused on his book. No matter how eccentric Ah Chou's writing style was, he was still doing his job seriously. Could he, as the sect leader, possibly be outdone?

But the next second, Fan Mingyu called again, asking, "Did you find Brother Lu? No, did he answer your call? By the way, what do you need him for?"

Shang Lin reluctantly turned on speakerphone, mainly because he was worried that Fan Mingyu wouldn't be able to hear him. "Are you asking me these three questions in quick succession? I couldn't find him. He didn't answer the phone. I wanted to talk business with him."

Unaffected by Shang Lin's indifferent tone, Fan Mingyu continued, "What business are we talking about? Can't we talk to our family?"

Shang Lin bluntly stated, "If your company is going to be sold, how can we negotiate?"

Besides, I didn't seek out Lu Xianyu to discuss business! However, it's indeed not something I can tell others about what Xu Feifei experienced today.

Fan Mingyu immediately objected, "Our company hasn't been sold yet! If our company cooperates well with the sect, we can make money..."

Shang Lin interrupted Fan Mingyu in a chilling tone, "Have you finished your homework? I haven't finished mine yet. I need to do my homework now. Goodbye."

"Wait a minute." Fan Mingyu asked tentatively, "Shang Lin, are you very tired?"

Shang Lin was taken aback. "Why do you ask that?"

"I could tell from your tone of voice."

Shang Lin really wanted to say, "What kind of hearing do you have? Is this a tired voice? This is clearly a cold voice."

But when he opened his mouth, he said, "Well, a little, so young man, put down your phone and let me go."

Fan Mingyu, “…”

As he hung up the phone, he subconsciously ran his hands along his upper arms. Why did he have this feeling that Shang Lin was... was... being... affectionate?!

Oh my god!!! This is terrifying!!!

This is even more terrifying than seeing a ghost in the middle of the night. Shang Lin, this...

"Ah!!! I must be going crazy. Do your homework, do your homework, evil spirits begone!"

Fan Mingyu shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the absurd feeling from his mind. He sat back down at his desk, staring intently at his workbook, but he just couldn't concentrate.

Although because of her father's infidelity, she often had to deal with mistresses—sometimes with her mother, sometimes alone—which had made her indifferent to women, but...

I'm not attracted to male creatures at all!

I plan to live alone for the rest of my life. If I feel lonely in the future, I can adopt a child to keep me company. But what just happened?

When Shang Lin gets ruthless, even demons and monsters have to retreat. He usually gives off a fatherly vibe, but his tone and wording on the phone just now...

That tone, that slightly drawn-out ending sound, just like she was being coquettish!

"No, no!" Fan Mingyu slammed his hand on the table. "It must be because I'm under too much pressure lately and I'm hallucinating." He took a deep breath and forced himself to start doing his homework.

But after writing only a few words, Fan Mingyu put down his pen and picked up his phone to call She Jinxing, "Brother Jin, is our sect leader powerful?"

When She Jinxing saw Fan Mingyu's call, he was already confused. When he heard Fan Mingyu say something so strange, he subconsciously asked, "What happened? Are you in danger?"

Fan Mingyu gave an irrelevant answer, "I just suddenly wanted to know, is Shang Lin an exceptionally capable person?"

"yes!"

Fan Mingyu pressed on, "So, who's more powerful, you or the sect leader?"

She Jinxing thought for a moment before answering, "I don't know. I am powerful, and the sect leader knows more, so what's wrong, junior brother?"

"It's nothing, I still have homework to do, bye-bye, Jin-ge."

Fan Mingyu immediately hung up the phone. He must have misheard. If Shang Lin wasn't powerful, how could he have become the sect leader of Yuntai Sect? So, acting cute had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Yes, that's it. So, do your homework, do your homework.

She Jinxing stared blankly at the phone that Fan Mingyu had hung up on. Was this kid's first call to him just to say some nonsensical things?

Or perhaps, after being a member of the sect for so long, he finally realized and wanted to ask the sect leader if he was powerful?

Alas, humanity!
