Seeing Shang Lin put down his phone and look thoughtful, Situ Pojun, who was driving the speedboat, hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Shang Lin immediately snapped out of her reverie. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how long it will take before we can get back to land."

Situ Pojun looked at Shang Lin with some confusion, "Isn't this much faster than we expected? Why do you seem so anxious? Do you have something urgent to do and are you in a hurry?"

What could Shang Lin say about the actual situation? Besides, he couldn't tell Situ Pojun, no, not just Situ Pojun, he couldn't tell anyone, otherwise he would just be asking for trouble.

If you really think about it, taking Bai Chengyun away from the sea is like smuggling him out under the very nose of the Heavenly Dao. The risk factor is ridiculously high. If anything were to happen, the Dragon Spirit Tower might not even be safe, and it could even implicate their entire Yuntai Sect.

Normally, Shang Lin would never take such a big risk. After all, one should only do what one is capable of. But Bai Chengyun is Xiao Bai's father, and they have raised Xiao Bai for so long. In the end, they couldn't bear to stand idly by.

So Shang Lin said to Situ Pojun, "There is something I need to do, but it's not urgent. When we get closer to the sea, you go back first, and I might go straight home."

Situ Pojun was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Shang Lin looked at Situ Pojun with amusement, "What could this mean? It's rare for me to come out with my disciples, and I wanted to take everyone for a walk on the beach. If it gets late, we'll just head back."

There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said, since Shang Lin rarely went out to play. However, Situ Pojun felt that he had something very important to hide from him.

However, everyone has their own things to take care of, so Situ Pojun readily agreed, "Alright, but I still hope you can come to our office. I want to buy some pills from you."

Shang Lin immediately refused, "I really don't have time for that. The earliest I can do it is during the summer vacation. Besides, we can keep in touch by phone; we don't need to meet in person."

"Okay, then be careful."

Shang Lin nodded, but his heart was filled with unease. Ever since he was able to leave the small mountain village, he had intercepted the Heavenly Dao's plans countless times. Now, however, an even bigger one had come his way.

Most importantly, I was quite confident about the deal I had previously snatched, but with Bai Chengyun... well, I had absolutely no confidence at all! I was truly on edge.

As they continued forward, the outlines of the coastline and land became increasingly clear in their superhuman vision. Shang Lin's heart pounded faster involuntarily. Good heavens, how many years had it been since he felt this way?

But at this moment, Shang Lin said to Situ Pojun, "Let's part ways here."

Situ Pojun, who was focused on driving the speedboat, subconsciously looked around. "We're still quite a distance from the beach. Do you want She Jinxing to reveal his true form and give you a ride?!" What's going on? We'll be discovered in a heartbeat, okay?

Although Situ Pojun didn't say his last words aloud, Shang Lin understood what he meant. However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he could only say, "We're already so close to the sea, how can I not control the water? So don't worry, let's go."

Situ Pojun was about to say, "That won't do either. How scary would it be if a human were floating on the sea? Don't create supernatural events and increase my workload, okay?"

But the result was...
