At this moment, Xing Tian suddenly felt that Old Man Chai waking up wasn't necessarily a good thing. Look, their sect couldn't even gather together for holidays and festivals, but...
If Old Man Chai doesn't wake up, how worried the Sect Master must be! Alas, no wonder the Sect Master always says that gain and loss are the eternal truths of the world.
As mentioned before, Shang Lin didn't quite understand Xing Tian's feelings of "long time no see," but not understanding doesn't mean not knowing, so he offered another reassuring remark.
Sect Master: After I finish my final exams, all of us disciples will get together, including Fan Mingyu, the human disciple.
Xing Tian: Shocked emoji! Are you going to introduce Fan Mingyu to everyone?!
Sect Master: Of course, after all, he has already agreed to join our Yuntai Sect, so he is our disciple. How could fellow disciples not recognize each other?
Xing Tian: That's true, but... is Fan Mingyu's mental fortitude really that strong?
Sect Leader: Smiley face emojis, I really don't know about that, but we can proceed step by step. Besides, if he doesn't see your true forms, what else can't he accept?
Xing Tian really wanted to say, "That's you, Sect Master. Not everyone is like you."
But regardless, since this is the sect leader's will, they should carry it out. So Xing Tian asked again: Where shall we hold the gathering? I'll make arrangements in advance these next few days.
Shang Lin thought for a moment before replying: "Let's just stay at your rented place. It's spacious and quiet there."
Xing Tian: Okay, so what's the time?
Sect Master: It's 1 PM on January 7th. I still have to refine pills after that.
Xing Tian: OK
Sect Leader: By the way, after I finish my exams, I can go and apply for the business license for the martial arts school. But Little Snake still has to stay at home to take care of Old Man Chai. Who will be the coach?
Upon hearing this, Xing Tian smiled awkwardly and then called Shang Lin, saying, "Sect Master, actually, this matter might have to be postponed."
Shang Lin has been so busy lately that he's completely oblivious to what's going on around him, and he's even getting a headache from studying. How could he possibly know anything else? Besides, with Old Man Chai and She Jinxing by his side, who would bother him with anything else?
So he didn't know anything yet, and of course he didn't have time to go online to check if She Jinxing's account had been updated, or who it was updated with. So when he heard Xing Tian say this, he was a little confused, "Why?"
Xing Tian hurriedly reported, for example, that they were currently filming short videos, short stories about heroes and beauties, and what would happen after their martial arts school was built in the next three years.
In short, Xing Tian told Shang Lin everything he could think of and everything they were doing, "So this is the current situation."
Shang Lin thought Xing Tian's ideas were reasonable, but, "If that's the case, when will we be able to make money?"
He's already taken on several alchemy orders, but the other profitable businesses in the sect haven't taken off. What's going on? Six hundred million sounds like a lot, but it's not nearly enough to spend. It might not even be enough to buy a single precious spiritual herb.
Xing Tian hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Sect Master. Someone has already contacted us to sell goods, but I didn't accept. I want to sell our own products, such as fruits and vegetables, medicinal herbs, and beauty products from the Dragon Spirit Pagoda."
"That's a good idea, but who can show their face? They have to be human, right?" Don't think that Hu Tangdi and the others have ID cards now; those can't withstand scrutiny. The power of netizens is immense.
Xing Tian said confidently, "Who says you have to show your face to sell products? The videos we shoot are all the kind that are half-hidden, and we can't sell products every day. Once every few days is enough. Besides, we're selling good stuff. Things are valued for their scarcity, okay?"
Shang Lin immediately compromised, "Okay, okay, I'll do it your way. I'm a complete novice when it comes to doing business in the human world."
Xing Tian immediately showered him with compliments, "Sect Master is too modest. Someone as capable as you, if you were proficient in everything, would you leave any room for others to survive? One should be humble."
Shang Lin was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, I'll keep it low-key. It's too late, I need to go to sleep."
Xing Tian immediately agreed, saying, "Yes, yes, good night, Sect Master."
However, Xing Tianyi put down his phone and began to sigh deeply, "It's really not easy for us outcasts to live in the human world. We have to hide this and that, especially from the people around us. That's really something. I wonder how much mental fortitude Old Man Chai has?"
Hu Tangdi, who was removing her makeup, replied, "Life is not easy anywhere."
Huang Ying said, "I don't know how mentally capable Old Man Chai is, but I know he cares a lot about the sect leader, so he can probably accept anything related to the sect leader."
Xing Tian was still uneasy. "That's true, but if Old Man Chai finds out that this Shang Lin is not the same Shang Lin, will he still act this way? Besides, it seems like there's no way to hide this, is there?"
Hu Tangdi laughed and said, "If this Shang Lin is not the same Shang Lin as that Shang Lin, and Old Man Chai can't accept it, then I'll delete his memory and then we'll make up a new one for him. I find acting quite interesting now."
Xing Tian said helplessly, "Acting is acting, and erasing memories is fine, but what's the point of making up a new one? The human brain isn't a computer; you can't reprogram it."
Hu Tangdi suddenly smiled charmingly and said, "You don't understand, do you? It's not easy to hide from a group of people, but it's incredibly easy to hide from one person. As long as everyone around you cooperates well, the person in question won't notice anything at all. For example, if you get drunk tonight and the next morning you see ancient buildings and people dressed in ancient clothing, what would be the first thing you think of?"
Xing Tian subconsciously replied, "Have I ended up on the set of a period drama?"
Hu Tangdi wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Yes, that's the first impression. But what about ten days later? A hundred days later? A year later? Won't you think, 'I've actually traveled back to ancient times?'"
Xing Tian nodded silently, "It seems so."
Hu Tangdi continued, "So, Old Man Chai's problem isn't really a problem. The real problem is our junior brother, who is a human. He's a minor, just like the current sect leader. We can't delete or tamper with his memories without permission, otherwise it will have a huge impact on his future studies and work. Besides, the sect leader took him in, so he must care about him a lot. Why would he let us do anything underhanded?"
Xing Tian nodded again, then sighed, "I hope that those whom the sect leader values, regardless of age, are mentally strong!"
