Everyone in the sect knows how much their sect leader wants to make money, but now that there's such a good opportunity to make money, he wants to keep me by his side.
She Jinxing particularly wanted to ask Shang Lin, "Even when I'm not by the Sect Master's side, there's still Hu Tangdi, right? She's not just for show. Does the Sect Master care about the difference between men and women like General Ji? No, this has nothing to do with the difference between men and women. Hu Tangdi is just a servant."
However, they all had a strange trust in Shang Lin, so they naturally believed that what the sect leader said had its reasons. She Jinxing immediately agreed, "Okay, we'll listen to the sect leader."
However, Shang Lin still explained, "Actually, we have a new transfer student in our class today. He's a basketball player with athletic talent. He's probably been practicing martial arts since he was little. You should go and find out more about his family. I only saw his profile today, so I can't be sure."
She Jinxing immediately thought of Fan Mingyu and asked, "Does the sect leader want to recruit someone into the sect again?"
"I do have that idea, but I need to do some research first, otherwise it won't be easy to make a move!"
The way Shang Lin said it made him sound like a villain trying to abduct an innocent man, and She Jinxing couldn't help but laugh. "Okay."
Before they knew it, the two arrived home. The house was no longer crowded. Xing Tian had moved away with the two children, Hu Tangdi lived in the Dragon Spirit Tower, and only Shang Lin lived in the house.
Now that She Jinxing has returned, he and Shang Lin are living at home, but the Divine Lord said, "Shang Lin is not a child, he can live alone without any problem. You rarely come back, so hurry up and learn the mental cultivation techniques from me. I am so old, it is not easy for me to remember anything. If I don't teach you now, I may forget it someday."
Although the Divine Lord was initially disgusted when Shang Lin told him that he had found him a snake as an apprentice to pass the time, their bond had grown stronger over the past year.
Upon hearing this, She Jinxing's eyes lit up, but the next second he looked at Shang Lin and asked with great concern, "Is it alright for the Sect Master to be alone?"
Before Shang Lin could say anything, Shenjun said, "These past few days while you were away from home, no one was with him at night. Besides, if anything unexpected happens, you and Xiao Hu will know, right? He's an adult, not a child. Let's go."
She Jinxing was still a little worried, so Shang Lin added, "Don't worry, it's just a short distance between inside and outside the tower. Go on, I need to do my homework."
Hearing Shang Lin mention the inside and outside of the tower, She Jinxing felt relieved enough to enter the tower with the Divine Lord. The Divine Lord hadn't forgotten to lecture him, "Don't be so cautious, acting like an overprotective father. Apart from his poor health, Shang Lin is incredibly strong in every other way. But no one is perfect, and this is what he deserves. Otherwise, who knows what other calamities might have befallen him."
What do you mean, "a doting father"? He really didn't. He was just always fooled by the sect leader's still-childish face, so She Jinxing smiled a little embarrassedly, "I just felt that the sect leader might be lonely by himself."
"Hehe, look how busy he is every day, he's practically splitting himself into two, where would he find the time to be lonely?" After saying that, the god sighed again, "But in order to integrate well into the human world, he has no choice but to study."
“Indeed.” She Jinxing suddenly became full of fighting spirit. “Then Master, please teach me the mental cultivation technique. The sect leader is working so hard, and I, as a servant, cannot fall behind.”
The deity suddenly looked at She Jinxing with a hint of disdain and couldn't help but complain, "I am your master. Don't always follow Shang Lin's lead. You're so spineless."
She Jinxing really wanted to say, "Isn't Master now also the sect leader's tower spirit, and doesn't he follow his lead? Doesn't he have any ambition?"
However, he couldn't say that, especially since his master had a bit of a childlike temper, so She Jinxing quickly coaxed, "Master is right, let's begin then."
The little tower spirit gave She Jinxing a look of disappointment, then immediately became serious and began to recite the Dragon Clan's mental cultivation techniques.
She Jinxing wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt a surge of spiritual energy entering her body with each word the deity uttered. Then, she entered her sea of consciousness and began cultivating following the incantation.
When Shang Lin finished her homework, she checked the time. It was 11:30 p.m., which was later than yesterday.
Hu Tangdi handed him a glass of milk at the opportune moment. "Sect Master, I can actually help you with your homework too."
"No way." Shang Lin refused instantly. "High school courses are not the same as junior high courses. What if I don't get the top score in the college entrance examination? Where will that leave my reputation as a genius? Didn't you see that I don't even need Xing Tian anymore?"
Hu Tangdi especially wanted to say, "Isn't it because Xing Tian is far away?"
But he advised, "Sect Master, there's no need to feel pressured. Whether someone is a genius or not is just what others say. Your health isn't good, so you can't overwork yourself."
While drinking her milk, Shang Lin replied, "Yes, I know what I'm doing. But does drinking milk really make you taller?"
Hu Tangdi said very honestly, "I don't know, but that's what everyone says. They even say it can supplement calcium. We didn't have money before, but now that we have some, we can't let the sect leader fall behind in terms of food and drink."
Shang Lin was a little confused, "Could it be that I grew taller because I drank milk?!"
Hu Tangdi was about to say, "Maybe."
He was interrupted by Shang Lin's phone ringing. He hurriedly picked up the phone and found that it was Situ Pojun calling. He had a feeling that it was not a good thing and did not want to answer, but he answered it in the end.
As soon as the call connected, Situ Pojun said wearily, "Shang Lin, do me a favor, and after it's done..."
"Stop, tell me what it is first?"
Shang Lin didn't let Situ Pojun finish speaking. Judging from his tone, it was clear that the task was quite difficult, and the fact that he was calling him in the middle of the night meant that he must have run out of options.
If Situ Pojun has no connections, what connections could he possibly have? He simply has his eye on She Jinxing's abilities; that person witnessed the entire process when they were collecting "fertilizer."
"...An earthquake suddenly occurred in the Northwest region, but the earthquake itself was not severe. However, the ground subsidence was very serious. People and buildings were swallowed up in an instant. We suspect that it was caused by evil spirits."
Shang Lin was taken aback. "No way, the human world has been in the Dharma-ending Age for almost three thousand years, right? Where would there still be such a huge and terrifying demon? And devouring people is barely understandable, but why would it devour buildings? Is it trying to build infrastructure inside its own belly?"
"Shang Lin," Situ Pojun said with particular seriousness, "Don't forget, your family has such a powerful evil spirit."
"Situ Pojun!" Shang Lin's face immediately turned cold. "What do you mean by that? You suspect She Jinxing?!"
Damn it, if it's true, I'll break off all ties with him in a heartbeat, and I'll even have She Jinxing tear down his office.
