Huang Li is a little fairy who has always lived in the deep mountains and forests. Her biggest wish every day is to eat her fill and play happily. Later, due to Hu Tangdi, she became Shang Lin's servant by a twist of fate, but she still lives like a child.
So he didn't really want to hit or chop anyone up, even though Xing Tian's relatives were particularly eccentric. He didn't feel anything about it, since Xing Tian would teach them a lesson anyway. But now...
The little boy saw a child so small crying until his voice was hoarse, and a human infant who had wet his pants but had to keep wearing them. He really wanted to smash their heads.
But in the end, he held back. What if there were other children, or other bad people? Since he had stumbled upon them, he should catch as many as he could and save as many as he could.
The middle-aged woman distributed some food to the children, including almanacs. Some of the children were too young and just cried, so they couldn't eat much, but neither of the two adults paid any attention to them and went about their own business.
Huang Li grabbed the middle-aged woman's clothes and asked innocently, "Grandma, where's my ice cream?"
The middle-aged woman impatiently shoved the almanac away, but said, "Go wait over there, someone will take you to buy it in a bit." As if afraid that the almanac would continue to pester her, she hurriedly went out, not forgetting to lock the door behind her.
"In a little while? Is someone else coming?" Huang Li took out his phone to send a message to Shang Lin, but the next second Hu Tangdi appeared in front of him and was about to scold him.
Huang Li's figure suddenly grew larger, and he reached out to cover Hu Tangdi's mouth. "Shh, I know I was wrong. You can scold me when we get back. There are still two people outside."
Hu Tangdi glared at Huang Li before he sheepishly let go, but was immediately scolded, "Can't you inform the sect leader before you do anything? Are you afraid he won't worry?"
Huang Li scratched his head awkwardly, "It was just a moment of panic. Look how pitiful these kids are."
Hu Tangdi immediately looked around before asking Huang Li, "So what do you want to do?"
Huang Li transformed back into his adorable little boy form. "Let's keep following them and see what else they're up to."
Hu Tangdi raised his hand and patted Huang Li on the head, "Is that even a question? I'd sell you out in a heartbeat."
"Hehe." Huang Li stepped back a little and rubbed his head. "Then Senior Sister, come with me. I'm young and my cultivation is low. I might not be able to protect myself."
Hu Tangdi rolled his eyes dramatically before retorting, "Then why would you dare to take the risk?"
"Hehe, it was just a moment of panic."
Hu Tangdi immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Shang Lin, telling him to go home and rest, that she had found the almanac, and that she would take him home with her once the matter was resolved.
Shang Lin was relieved and told them to be careful before going home. He had to go to class tomorrow, and even he would suffer from declining grades if he kept taking leave.
However, just as Shang Lin finished showering and was about to rest, she received a call from Bai Jingxuan, who immediately said apologetically, "I recently went out of town, so I didn't have time to transfer last month's profits to you. Would you like me to transfer them to you now, or at the beginning of next month?"
Shang Lin glanced at the date; there were only two days left until November 1st. He then said, "Let's go together then."
"Okay, I'll transfer it to you on the 1st. Oh, there's something else. Have you heard of the business in City E? Their eldest son recently passed away, and they're currently searching for their youngest son. And that youngest son and you..."
Shang Lin said quite frankly, "Uncle Bai, are you implying that the young master is also named Shang Lin?"
"You're really smart." Bai Jingxuan praised without reservation. "But I heard that the merchant only has one name, and not even a picture of the young master. I wonder how they're going to find him?"
Shang Lin asked with some curiosity, "Is Uncle Bai very familiar with that merchant?"
"What's so familiar about it? I just know about it, and I only heard about it from gossip since I was going to City E this time. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but I started to listen carefully when I heard that I had the same name as you."
"That's true, Uncle Bai is so busy, where would he find time to listen to gossip?" Haven't the merchants given up on finding him yet? But the only way they can reach him is through Old Man Chai, it seems Xing Tian is in "danger."
"Hehe, I'm getting old, it's inevitable to become a bit greasy." Bai Jingxuan joked to himself before saying, "Let's not chat anymore, you have class tomorrow, get some rest."
"Okay, goodbye Uncle Bai."
Shang Lin originally wanted to rest, but Bai Jingxuan's phone call disturbed her, so she could only keep her eyes open and tell Xing Tian and Huang Ying, "Be careful when you go out in the future, the Shang family is still looking for Old Man Chai."
Xing Tian had been busy running between the hospital and his business at home lately, and was yawning and feeling drowsy. But when he heard Shang Lin's words, he instantly woke up. "What's going on? They still haven't given up?"
Shang Lin yawned, also feeling sleepy. "Hmm, maybe their family is so big and there's no one to inherit it?"
Huang Ying quickly added, "Didn't you say you have three daughters at home?"
Xing Tian explained to Huang Ying, "A daughter isn't a son. Who would want such a large family and business to lose their wealth?"
Huang Ying said very frankly, "You can't take it with you when you're born or when you die. I really don't understand human thinking. Besides, isn't a daughter part of our own family? Who says a daughter belongs to someone else? This isn't ancient times."
Shang Lin couldn't help but yawn again. "Alright, no one can really explain this. I'm just reminding you to be careful, after all, Old Man Chai hasn't recovered yet, and we can't afford any more mishaps."
After saying that, he prepared to go back to his bedroom to rest, but then he suddenly stopped. "There's another possibility. He didn't come to me to go back and inherit the family business, but to vent his anger."
Xing Tian and Huang Ying were both taken aback. Xing Tian, no longer sleepy, subconsciously asked, "Then what should we do?"
Shang Lin smiled, "What else can we do? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Besides, you're the one in the most danger right now, since you're out and about all day while I'm stuck on campus studying."
Xing Tian, “…” The one in danger is actually myself! Well, it was Old Man Chai, but now I am him.
Huang Ying quickly assured him, "Don't worry, I will protect Old Man Chai."
"Okay, sure."
After Shang Lin left, Xing Tian also went to sleep. Their sect leader always managed to calm people's minds; it was truly miraculous.
Huang Ying transformed back into her original form and sat cross-legged on the chair. This rented apartment was really too small; she would have to wait another year before she could move.
Think about where Qiu Niang lives now, that's what you call spacious, upstairs and downstairs, master bedroom, guest bedroom, bathroom and shower room... Sigh, never mind, what does that have to do with me?
They'll be wherever the sect leader is. Besides, this is only temporary, and the sect leader is already staying there, so why can't they stay there too? Just hang in there and it'll pass.
