To be fair, Shang Lin has been busy in both his past and present lives. He tried his best to live during the first three years of this life, so he really wasn't interested in gatherings, except for meals with his disciples.
That's right, the Yuntai Sect members are all true foodies. When they get together, the first thing they do is eat and drink. As for whether they can eat their fill, some can eat their fill while others can only get a little bit. Anyway, as long as the atmosphere is right, that's fine.
Shang Lin scrolled through the chat history and saw that they were talking about going to a gathering in the county. Meng Zhe then @Shang Lin: You can stay at my house in the county.
Chu Jiusheng quickly continued: Shang Lin is my boss, so naturally he has to stay at my house.
Meng Zhe: When did this happen? How come I didn't know? @Shang Lin.
Chu Jiusheng: There are many things you don't know, and you're not even in the same school as my eldest brother anymore.
Su Jinghang and Lin Shengqi also tagged Shang Lin, and their chat quickly became lively. As Shang Lin watched, he couldn't help but sigh at the vitality of young people!
Shang Lin knew why Meng Zhe had invited him to his house, but he was very busy lately and genuinely didn't have time, so he immediately went online to reply.
Shang Lin: My phone died and I just turned it on, only to find that you guys have been arguing for half a day. Are you all on holiday? So free? I've been busy lately and can't go anywhere, so you guys can have your own gathering, no need to count me in.
Shang Lin's long message caused the previously quiet group chat to erupt again. It's true that whether they're high school students on vacation or not, they're all night owls!
Meng Zhe: When are you coming to my house? Didn't we agree on that before?
Chu Jiusheng: When was this agreed upon? How come I didn't know? Boss, tell me quickly.
Su Jinghang: What's wrong with you guys? Shang Lin isn't a girl, why are you fighting over her?
Chu Jiusheng: @Su Jinghang, you're the girl, Shang Lin is my boss.
Lin Shengqi: @Shang Lin, is this for real?
Shang Lin: Stop it, all of you! What are you doing? (Angry emoji)
Luo Fanzhou: Boss, don't be angry. They just like to bicker.
Bi Ran: Exactly, high school boys all have a bit too much energy.
Shang Lin: So you all go do your homework? Are you all so idle? Besides, you're all going back to school on the 12th, are you all coming? For those who live far away, can't you choose a representative?
The students in the county came from families with varying financial situations, but the better ones weren't significantly better off. So they tried to save on travel expenses whenever possible. Otherwise, Meng Zhe and his friends wouldn't have shared rooms instead of going home when the school had its two-week break.
Meng Zhe: Originally, it was supposed to be me and Chu Jiusheng who went, but everyone wanted to get together with you, so we were all going. Since you don't have time, then it's just the two of us who will go.
Chu Jiusheng: Yes.
Shang Lin: Alright, it's decided then. It's getting late, I need to sleep. You guys have plenty of energy, keep going.
The ninth day of the lunar month: the eldest son is 88 years old.
Su Jinghang: Goodnight
Except for Meng Zhe, everyone else sent goodbye, so Shang Lin immediately left. But Meng Zhe sent him a message alone: When are you coming to my house?
Shang Lin: Let's wait for an opportunity. I've been busy lately.
Meng Zhe: Okay then, good night.
Shang Lin: Good night.
In truth, Meng Zhe knew very well that the distance between him and Shang Lin would only grow wider, but they would not walk the same path in the future, so he didn't care, though he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss. It was like the feeling of a like-minded friend drifting further and further away.
Shang Lin was genuinely tired. As he said before, he didn't want to be with young people. After all, the generation gap was something that was truly insurmountable, especially the age difference between him and young people, which was practically enormous.
No wonder Meng Zhe and the others felt that Shang Lin was like an old father, even more so than a father. However, the classmate relationship still needs to be maintained, and they really need to find time to get together.
The next morning, Shang Lin went to the hotel to meet Yu Qingfeng and the others, not only to retrieve his belongings but also to thank and apologize to them, and to give them some local specialties from City C.
Shang Lin didn't spend a penny on this trip. Although he used up two talismans on the way, he would have needed them even if he were alone, so he couldn't include others in the calculation.
Yu Qingfeng and Yao Mingyue, however, were only concerned about whether Shang Lin's sect had encountered any difficulties. They also wanted to buy two teleportation talismans, since they had only heard of such talismans but had never seen one before.
Shang Lin knew that the human realm was in a period of decline, so even cultivators had very limited cultivation resources, but he had never even seen a teleportation talisman. Was that a bit of an exaggeration?
However, Shang Lin didn't say anything to avoid attracting hatred, so he took out two bills and handed them to Yu Qingfeng and Yao Mingyue, saying, "There are only two bills now. If you want more, you'll have to wait."
Yu Qingfeng and Yao Mingyue were both dumbfounded when they saw the teleportation talismans. Such precious items, and he could just casually produce two of them? And where did he take them from? Was it from some kind of hidden treasure?
After the initial shock, Yu Qingfeng quickly regained her senses and immediately transferred money to Shang Lin. He said he would give her whatever amount was available so she could study it further when she got back.
Yao Mingyue also hurriedly took out her phone and said, "What other good things does Sect Leader Shang have? Why don't you show them to us?"
Shang Lin smiled slightly, "Really, there isn't any more."
Yu Qingfeng suddenly remembered the talisman that Shang Lin had thrown out on their way there, and then he thought of the broken camera at the auction. He immediately felt a chill. Had he discovered some terrible truth?
And then there was what happened next. Shang Lin had to leave suddenly, and in such a hurry that the victims who lost their prey also disappeared without a trace. Could it be that the prey was really stolen by Shang Lin? Oh, he still has a secret weapon!
"Oh my god, oh my god!" Yu Qingfeng thought about it more and more and felt that she had figured it out. Her hand was shaking a little when she was transferring money on her phone. She almost added an extra zero. "Isn't Yuntai Sect the real hidden sect?"
However, Yu Qingfeng didn't say anything and quickly drove away with Yao Mingyue. Although Shang Lin felt that Yu Qingfeng was leaving in a bit of a hurry, he just assumed that they were in a hurry to get somewhere. After all, no one wants to drive at night, even if the two of them could take turns.
After seeing Yu Qingfeng and Yao Mingyue off, Shang Lin went back to refining pills. As for purchasing various raw materials, he left it entirely to She Jinxing. Shang Lin didn't care how She Jinxing allocated them; he just needed to buy everything for him.
When Shang Lin returned to Xing Tian's house, the Divine Lord had actually emerged from the tower. He was still in the appearance of an adult man, but his complexion was not good, and his tone was sullen. "Little White hasn't woken up yet."
Shang Lin wasn't too surprised, admitting, "It was so badly injured, and the pills I refined weren't of a high grade. It's already good enough that they could stabilize its injuries."
“But…” the Divine Lord wanted to say, “Isn’t there your blood in the pill?” But considering the amount of Shang Lin’s blood used and Xiao Bai’s body, he fell silent.
