Situ Pojun didn't seem to feel slighted at all. Instead, he stood silently to the side, lost in thought as he watched the disheveled Shang Lin. He knew Shang Lin wasn't an ordinary human, but he couldn't find any information about him.

Moreover, none of Shang Lin's actions were related to play, so when they parted, Situ Pojun didn't believe a word of what Shang Lin said. Therefore, he hid on the shore and waited for his suspicions to be resolved.

Sure enough, Shang Lin never disappointed him. He really was hiding something from him, but what could it be that would make the heavenly lightning strike him? And yet, it subsided after he reached land.

Shang Lin regained some strength, opened his eyes, and immediately said to Situ Pojun, "Let's part ways here. I'm going home."

Situ Pojun, who was deep in thought, immediately snapped out of it and subconsciously asked, "Can you still travel like this?"

Shang Lin immediately took out a teleportation talisman, "I don't need to rush."

Situ Pojun, "..."

So what if you have a teleportation scroll?

But he said, "It's broad daylight now, do you dare use a teleportation talisman?"

Shang Lin paused, then smiled at Situ Pojun and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

After saying that, he summoned She Jinxing and said to him, "You use invisibility, I'll activate the teleportation talisman, and we'll go home."

The heart that had been hanging high in the Dragon Spirit Tower finally returned to its place when She Jinxing saw Shang Lin. Even though he was in a terrible state, he was still alive and well, which was enough to put everyone at ease.

So She Jinxing readily agreed, saying, "Okay."

Situ Pojun, "..."

So what if you have servants? He wants one too.

The next second, Shang Lin and She Jinxing disappeared from the spot. Situ Pojun was furious. Couldn't they even say "goodbye"? How rude! He was waiting for them on the shore.

But Situ Pojun quickly chuckled again. What had he been like just now? He'd acted like a child throwing a tantrum. But Shang Lin was truly an enigmatic person! He was certainly intriguing.

It's such a pity that I have so few opportunities to get in touch with Shang Lin these days. I don't even have a chance to explore his secrets. I should just focus on my own things. It's a shame about this auction; I went for nothing!

Shang Lin activated the teleportation talisman and went straight home. His location wasn't very accurate when he came, but it was very accurate when he got home. It almost teleported him to his bedroom.

However, Shang Lin's current condition looks really bad. His clothes are tattered, his hair is a mess, his face is pale, his lips are cracked, his throat is so dry it feels like it's about to burst into flames, and there's a bloody smell that he can't suppress no matter what he does.

His eyes had turned into beastly pupils, but they were devoid of any light. His right arm was as limp as a noodle, and he couldn't muster any strength. If it weren't for She Jinxing supporting him, he probably wouldn't even be able to stand up.

She Jinxing hurriedly said, "Sect Master is so badly injured, you should go to the Dragon Spirit Tower to recuperate!"

Shang Lin naturally knew his current situation, and since he was already home, he didn't need to suppress his pain and pretend to be nonchalant like he had in front of Situ Pojun. So he said, "Okay."

"Then the sect leader must first lift the seal on the Dragon Spirit Tower."

Actually, if he hadn't been in such a hurry to come back, Shang Lin's physical condition wouldn't have been this bad. After all, activating the teleportation talisman requires spiritual power, and lifting the seal on the Dragon Spirit Tower at this moment only made things worse for his body.

Fortunately...
