Shang Lin was very impressed with Fan Mingyu's performance, so he pulled him aside and started introducing him from the God Lord, "This old immortal with a dignified and otherworldly air is called Bai Linyuan. We usually call him God Lord, but don't be fooled by his dignified and otherworldly appearance. He's actually a very knowledgeable old child, so you have to coax him."
The deity immediately glared at Shang Lin, "Is this how you introduce people?"
Everyone turned to look at the Divine Lord. It was the first time they had heard of his name, and they thought that he was indeed an ancient dragon, with such a grand name.
Shang Lin immediately introduced the next person, "Xing Tian, he is currently managing your family's company."
Xing Tian smiled and said, "Hello, junior brother."
Fan Mingyu was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "What's wrong with your eyes...?"
I didn't notice anything unusual because I was far away and didn't look closely. But now that I'm closer and looking more closely, I feel that his eyes are darker than normal.
Shang Lin hurriedly pulled the person away, "Didn't I just tell you? Next up, She Jinxing. Follow his account and you'll know what he does."
Fan Mingyu hurriedly took out his phone, cooperating perfectly. But after he paid attention and glanced at it casually, he had an urge to click and take a look immediately.
However, since they were still getting to know each other, Fan Mingyu had to put his phone away and follow Shang Lin to meet the next person. "Hu Tangdi, a rare beauty, capable in both the living room and the kitchen, both scholarly and martial."
Because of his father's influence, Fan Mingyu was indifferent to beautiful women, and even had little feeling for women in general, so he simply nodded and said, "Hello, sister."
Hu Tangdi raised an eyebrow slightly, giving a charming and appreciative smile, "As expected, the sect leader has excellent taste." There are truly few male beings who can see her so calm.
Shang Lin continued, "Red Scorpion, you can also find videos of him on the accounts you follow."
Fan Mingyu obediently greeted him, "Hello, brother."
Red Scorpion nodded slightly, exuding an air of aloofness.
Shang Lin then introduced the next person, "Huang Ying."
Seeing that the other man was about the same age as him, Fan Mingyu simply said, "Hello."
Huang Ying looked at Fan Mingyu with bright eyes and said, "Junior Brother, you should call me Senior Sister."
Before Fan Mingyu could say anything, Shang Lin said, "Our sect doesn't have that many rules, so just be casual."
After saying that, he looked at the almanac again and said, "This little boy is the almanac."
Fan Mingyu looked at the almanac with great confusion, and finally asked the question that had been bothering him, "How did you join the sect?"
The little boy, Huang Li, said innocently, "Because of food! I was starving, and when I was looking for food, the sect leader found me, so I followed him."
Fan Mingyu was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Are you an orphan?"
Huang Li nodded, "Mm."
Fan Mingyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Shang Lin, "So the purpose of our sect's money-making is to help..."
"No, it's not what you think," Shang Lin hurriedly explained. "I don't have that ability right now, but if I do in the future, I'd be willing to help orphans."
After the introductions, everyone started eating. Then Fan Mingyu noticed another problem: with so many people, everyone was just eating. Did the sect have a rule against talking while eating?
Well, it's not that they just ate and didn't talk, but they talked very little. It wasn't like the kind of gatherings he remembered. And how come everyone ate so fast and so much?
Shang Lin said to Fan Mingyu at the right time, "You may feel a little uncomfortable being with everyone for the first time. But as you spend more time with them, you'll find that everyone is easy to get along with. You don't need to be reserved. Just be at home."
After saying that, he put some food on Old Man Chai's plate, saying, "Godfather, eat quickly, or they'll snatch it all away in a little while."
Old Man Chai looked surprised. "So much food, even twenty people couldn't finish it, right?"
Fan Mingyu had the same question, but he didn't ask it aloud. So he looked at Shang Lin, only to hear the other party say, "Then you're mistaken. They're not only good at their jobs, but they're also good at cooking. Believe me, once you all get to know each other, if you don't fight over them, you'll really go hungry."
Shenjun and Chixie both rolled their eyes at Shang Lin, but She Jinxing laughed and said, "Don't listen to the sect leader's alarmist talk. No matter how much we fight for food, we can't let you go hungry."
After saying that, he served food to Old Man Chai and Fan Mingyu, saying, "We just don't drink, and we're not talkative people, so we're focused on eating. We're not gluttons, haha."
Shang Lin felt that She Jinxing was indeed the demon cultivator who had lived among humans the longest, and his skills in dealing with humans were superior to those of his other disciples.
Since today was just a chance for everyone to get to know each other, and the opportunity to spend time together afterward depended entirely on fate, She Jinxing went back with Old Man Chai after dinner. Fan Mingyu spent some more time with everyone and felt less awkward.
What interests him most is Bai Linyuan, who is handsome and has an otherworldly air about him, even more so than the gods he has in mind. Moreover, he doesn't look old at all. Why did Shang Lin call him an old god?
The second was Xing Tian. Besides Xing Tian helping him manage his company, he also wanted to get to know Xing Tian better, but…
Huang Ying and Huang Li seemed more interested in Fan Mingyu, so they didn't give him any time alone with Xing Tian. And Xing Tian, not wanting to scare the children, also deliberately avoided him.
However, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Shang Lin asked Chi Xie to take Fan Mingyu home. He still needed to discuss the auction with everyone. Tomorrow, he had to meet up with Yao Mingyue, Yu Qingfeng, and the others to go to Wohu Ridge, the venue for the auction. So, time was very tight.
Tomorrow morning, he still has to go with Chi Xie to find Situ Pojun to finalize the ID card issue. Originally, there was no need to be in such a hurry, but Director Situ might be transferred, so there's no way to avoid it!
However, Xing Tian was somewhat puzzled, "Sect Master can go if he wants to, what's there to discuss?"
Shang Lin smiled and said, "This isn't a trip you can just take on a whim. I need to at least see how much money we have left, so that if we come across anything we need, we can buy it."
Hu Tangdi hurriedly said, "Safety is the most important thing. Who knows what kind of strength those reclusive families or sects actually possess? What if they start fighting and killing each other, or even openly robbing us, over a mere disagreement?"
Shang Lin nodded, "Although the possibility is small, it's not impossible. But since it's our first time there, let's just be spectators."
Upon hearing the word "money," Xing Tian immediately took out his phone and started looking up their sect's account books for Shang Lin. Regardless of whether Shang Lin bought anything or not, it was important to have money on hand when traveling. There's a saying, "A poor home makes for a rich road."
