At this moment, Shang Jing suddenly realized that his younger brother seemed to be far more intelligent and insightful than himself. What they saw as an exile was, in the younger brother's eyes, a chance to make money.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Managers and marine life are completely different. They don't even need to manage them. All they need to do is produce a reasonable report at the annual meeting.
If there's a problem with a person's Book of Life and Death, you can investigate it thoroughly. But how can you investigate a marine creature? It's just playing word games. Besides, the Underworld hasn't even finished revising the Book of Life and Death for humans yet, so how can it care about anything else?
It was simply a matter of finding some random place and relegating their section chief to a lower-level post. At that moment, Shang Jing suddenly made up his mind, but before he could tell Shang Lin, Lan Xuan hurriedly returned.
As soon as he saw Shang Lin, he said, "Sect Leader Shang, you've been waiting for a long time."
Shang Lin smiled, "No, no, it's my sudden visit that disturbed your work. But Situ Pojun said that only you know about this, so I had no choice but to come to you."
After saying that, Shang Lin released Ji Xiaoyao and continued to laugh, "Ji Xiaoyao, who helped you get rid of the evil spirits."
Ji Xiaoyao had worked for Situ Pojun for a few days before, and it was during that time that he met Shang Jing. It was through this brief encounter that he learned that Shang Jing was the original Shang Lin's half-brother.
Seeing him again, Ji Xiaoyao didn't react, but Shang Jing was taken aback, then subconsciously looked at Shang Lin, "He came with you? How come I didn't see him?"
Shang Lin didn't want to mention the Dragon Spirit Tower, so he said, "Because he just arrived."
Lan Xuan was also taken aback. How did this powerful ghost reappear? To exorcise evil spirits?! But he quickly composed himself and said, "Come with me."
To be precise, Ji Xiaoyao and Lan Xuan had met once before, but at that time, it was Ji Xiaoyao who left and Lan Xuan who came here.
Lan Xuan led Shang Lin and Ji Xiaoyao toward the elevator, and Shang Jing hurriedly followed, saying, "I'll go take a look too."
Shang Lin hurriedly stopped him, saying, "You can't, it will affect you. Lan Xuan and I can't either. We'll all have to come back after he sends Ji Xiaoyao over."
Shang Jing, "..."
The elevator stopped at the third basement level. Shang Lin was slightly taken aback. "Your office is quite something, with three basement levels."
However, Lan Xuan said, "That's just what the text shows."
Shang Lin was taken aback again. "What do you mean? Are we still on the seventeenth floor, or the eighteenth floor where Situ Pojun is?"
This is such a strange thought process, but Lan Xuan thought about it for a moment before saying, "Seriously speaking, it should be the second basement level. The third level doesn't exist, but it doesn't exist in reality. It exists in virtual form, which is why the elevator shows up."
Shang Lin understood. "So the evil spirits we need to deal with are right there."
“Yes, but now it’s going to be overrun with ghosts.” After saying that, Lan Xuan smiled at Shang Lin, “You know, our director is a bit of a righteous tyrant.”
I didn't see it coming, but Shang Lin laughed and said, "Don't worry, we're not afraid of having too much, we're just afraid of not having enough."
After saying that, he took out two bottles of pills and gave them to Ji Xiaoyao. "One bottle is a Soul-Stabilizing Pill, and the other is a Soul-Nourishing Pill. Be careful not to damage your soul by being greedy."
Ji Xiaoyao was embarrassed. "Does the sect leader think I'm greedy and don't know my limits?"
"Of course not, but when the temptation is too great, how many people can maintain their original intentions?" Especially since you've been hungry for so long, as the sect leader, how can I not remind you?
Ji Xiaoyao smiled helplessly, but said with complete agreement, "The sect leader is right."
Lan Xuan had already quickly pasted many talismans on the ground. As soon as the talismans hit the ground, the runes on them quickly connected, and a well appeared in no time.
A chilling aura and a piercing scream instantly assaulted Shang Lin's ears. He instinctively reached for a talisman to throw, but then only took a few steps back. If he unleashed a bolt of lightning, wouldn't Ji Xiaoyao's food be contaminated? How could he possibly eat it then?
Lan Xuan did not back down. Instead, he looked at Ji Xiaoyao and said, "If the well is opened and not closed soon, the evil spirits inside will rush up. If you can't handle it, put away the talisman and close the well."
"Thank you." Ji Xiaoyao didn't even glance at Lan Xuan. His dark eyes were fixed on the well opening, like someone who had been starving for a long time suddenly seeing a delicious meal.
Even Lan Xuan, who couldn't feel the temperature, felt the surrounding temperature drop by three degrees. He hurriedly walked towards Shang Lin, "Sect Master Shang, let's go."
Shang Lin was a little worried about Ji Xiaoyao, so she said, "You go up first, I'll wait for a while."
Lan Xuan, "..."
How could he leave? Turning around, he saw evil spirits rushing up from the well. Ji Xiaoyao was seen throwing two balls of food into his mouth with astonishing speed.
Lan Xuan instinctively felt a chill run down his spine. This guy was really that fierce! It took them a lot of effort and methods to capture those evil spirits, but in his hands, it was as easy as eating!
To be honest, this was the first time Shang Lin had ever seen Ji Xiaoyao eat a ghost, and he was a little shocked by his appearance. But how could a great general who could fight on the battlefield not be fierce?
Shang Lin immediately said to Lan Xuan, "Let's go."
Lan Xuan snapped out of his shock upon hearing Shang Lin's voice, and then asked as he walked, "Sect Master Shang, are all the disciples of your Yuntai Sect so...powerful?"
Shang Lin said quite frankly, "It's alright."
"You call that alright? You're so modest." But Lan Xuan didn't say anything more and walked into the elevator with Shang Lin, ready to go upstairs.
But Shang Lin pressed the elevator button for the first floor instead, saying, "I'm not going up."
Lan Xuan was taken aback. "Aren't you going to wait for Ji Xiaoyao?"
Shang Lin smiled slightly, "Look at how much he's enjoying his food, I can't wait. I still have a lot of homework to do. I'm going home to do my winter break homework."
"Winter break homework?!" Lan Xuan was taken aback again. "Is Sect Leader Shang really studying diligently?"
“Yes!” Shang Lin looked at Lan Xuan with great confusion. “Why do you all think it’s strange that I study?”
"No, no, no," Lan Xuan hurriedly explained, "I just feel that a person as capable and extraordinary as Sect Leader Shang wouldn't study hard like an ordinary person, get into a good university, and find an ideal job."
Shang Lin smiled helplessly, "Even talented and extraordinary people have to live their lives seriously, right? Besides, studying is so much better. There are so many children who want to study but can't."
Lan Xuan, "..."
What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
The elevator quickly stopped on the first floor. Shang Lin and Lan Xuan said "goodbye" and walked out.
