Xing Tian had wanted to do this before, but Shang Lin explicitly forbade it and even asked Hu Tangdi and She Jinxing to keep an eye on him, partly because it was unsafe and partly because they didn't have the manpower.
But Situ Pojun is different. He doesn't have many living people under his command, but he has a lot of ghosts, which he can make full use of. Moreover, they are government officials, so even if they cause any supernatural events, someone will cover for them.
Shang Lin's eyes lit up instantly. Before the contract was even signed, he said, "I suddenly thought of a great way to make money for your office. Why don't you give it a try?"
Situ Pojun put down his pen and casually asked, "What method?" But he didn't take it seriously at all. They couldn't recruit many living people in the human world, so how could they make money from them?
Shang Lin immediately shared his idea, and added, "In this way, you two are completely from opposite worlds, collaborating across boundaries. You make money, and they solve cases. It's perfect."
Situ Pojun, "..."
He scrutinized Shang Lin for a while before asking, "How exactly did you come up with this?"
When he came to the human world to investigate, he only thought that opening a hospital would be the most profitable thing, and he didn't think about anything else. Now, after hearing what Shang Lin said, he suddenly felt enlightened. Moreover, it was indeed a cross-border cooperation, after all, they were the government of the underworld.
Shang Lin wanted to say, "It was thought of by one of my disciples."
But just now I was portraying myself as a minor, how did I suddenly become the head of a sect? So I said, "I thought of it when I saw someone offering a reward online to find a child."
Situ Pojun gave Shang Lin a thumbs up, "You're a genius. Sign the contract first."
"Okay." After signing, Shang Lin asked, "Haven't you two worked together before?"
"Our office is a hospital, so the government offices in the mortal world wouldn't think of us. We've really missed out on a lot of money-making opportunities." It's truly a great pity.
Seeing Situ Pojun's regret, Shang Lin advised, "Of course, it's also possible that City C has a particularly good public security environment, with no major cases, so naturally they won't come looking for you."
Situ Pojun's usually impassive face finally broke into a smile. "If our cooperation between the two worlds is successful and we make money, I will reimburse you for the 400,000 yuan you spent on the ginseng."
"Thank you, and what about your ID card?"
"Just do it normally." With this relationship of helping each other solve major cases, what's so difficult about getting a few ID cards?
Shang Lin thanked them again and left the private hospital. When he went outside, he realized that it was already dark and the heat had dissipated. Even the slight evening breeze felt very pleasant.
In a good mood, Sect Master Shang was quite extravagant, taking all the disciples around him out to eat. The meal cost nearly a thousand yuan, and when it came time to pay, he started to feel the pinch.
But since Qiu Niang was reincarnated and Hu Tangdi wasn't home, the food they prepared was just enough to fill you up; as for how delicious it was, forget about it—it was just very ordinary home-cooked food.
When we eat out, we just eat and rarely talk, so it wasn't until we got home that everyone asked Shang Lin why she spent so much money tonight. It was a question that had been on their minds all night.
Shang Lin said happily, "Now that the ginseng is sold, how can treating everyone to a good meal be considered a waste of money?"
Huang Li really wanted to say, "Why did the sect leader look so pained when he paid?"
But since he was already quite full, how could he possibly embarrass the sect leader? So he said, "Thank you, sect leader."
Shang Lin added, "There's something even better: your ID card issue has been resolved. I believe it won't be long before you can walk openly and legitimately in the human world."
She Jinxing immediately asked, "Really?!"
Shang Lin nodded, and She Jinxing almost revealed his true colors with excitement, "Finally, we won't be limited by a small ID card anymore. This way, we can do a lot of things and make a lot of money."
Shang Lin quickly chimed in, "Of course, only with money can we have cultivation resources, and only then can we advance in cultivation levels."
She Jinxing wondered how many resources it would take to advance to the next level, but at least hope was getting closer.
Huang Ying and Huang Li were almost identical, and they said in unison, "We can make money too."
Shang Lin said, "You two need to go to school so you won't be fooled in the future." He always felt that these two were too naive, especially Huang Li. Shang Lin looked at him no differently than he would a human child.
Perhaps in some ways, the Chinese almanac, a child that has always lived deep in the mountains, is not even as good as human children.
Huang Ying retorted, "Sect Master, don't be fooled by our human form. We won't be deceived."
Shang Lin laughed and said, "If I don't look at your human form, do you think I'll look at your original form? This is the human realm, so you naturally have to appear in human form. Otherwise, how can you live in the human realm? Besides, humans are so smart. It's never a bad thing to learn more. No, not just learning, but learning in all aspects."
Huang Li immediately made a face, "But with my appearance like this, do I have to go to kindergarten?"
He had no objection to Shang Lin's arrangements. In fact, he would obey any arrangements made by the sect leader. But what could one learn in kindergarten? It would be better to cultivate in the Dragon Spirit Tower.
This is indeed a problem. We need to find a way to keep Huang Li's human form in the shape of a young boy, but this cannot be accomplished in a short time. Moreover, Huang Ying and Huang Li also have to protect Qiu Niang, so they cannot read the book.
Sigh, I suddenly feel that their sect is a bit short of people. But how long has it been since I took on any disciples? Even if I have many disciples, I still have a lot of things to do.
Suddenly I felt a little tired. It seemed like there was something I hadn't done yet, but I couldn't worry about it now. Once She Jinxing and the others got their ID cards, I wouldn't need to be involved in delivering medicine to the processing plant anymore.
No, it means that once She Jinxing and the others get their ID cards, there will be basically no more things that require my personal involvement. This way, I can focus on my studies, cultivation, alchemy, and help everyone improve their cultivation levels.
Thinking about it this way, I felt less tired and my mood instantly improved. However, Hu Tangdi called to say, "Xing's mother and baby won't be able to come until the end of August. Because Xing's mother is older and her body recovers slowly, her postpartum period will be extended for a while."
Shang Lin naturally had no objections, only instructing Hu Tangdi to take good care of the mother and child, and also, "How is the matter concerning Xing Tian's family progressing?"
Hu Tangdi spoke frankly, "I don't know the specifics, but Mr. Xing is very busy, leaving early and returning late every day, and he barely has time to hold the baby. Xing Tian is also quite busy, and he seems to appear and disappear without a trace."
"They're probably up to something big, either openly or secretly." Letting go isn't easy, especially when it involves blood ties and family relationships.
