Meng Zhe really wanted to say, "Even if you're not brain-dead, don't you still attract brain-dead people?"
But this time Su Jinghang beat him to it, "Making money? Who makes money? Do you make money?"
Shang Lin thought for a moment and said, "I guess so."
It wasn't that Shang Lin didn't want to elaborate, but there were things he had to keep hidden. However, neither Su Jinghang nor Meng Zhe asked any further questions after hearing his answer.
Then Su Jinghang brought up Lin Shengqi's father, "The teacher didn't say how Uncle Lin got injured. Do you know where he works?"
Shang Lin shook his head. He hadn't asked. No, not just Lin Shengqi, he hadn't asked about his roommates' family situations either; he judged them entirely by their appearances.
Meng Zhe also shook his head, "All I know is that he comes from a single-parent family. His mother divorced his father when he was very young. Over the years, his father has not remarried because he was worried that he might be mistreated by his stepmother."
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat somber...
The next day at noon, as soon as get out of class ended, Shang Lin, Meng Zhe, and Su Jinghang left the school in a hurry without eating lunch. There was only one hospital in the county and not many patients, so it was not difficult to find Lin Shengqi.
The place Shang Lin and Manager Duan arranged to meet wasn't far away; they just needed to find a secluded spot for "Cousin" to log on. This wasn't difficult for She Jinxing, who even used illusion magic to conjure a tractor loaded with mountain goods.
It must be said that She Jinxing, who has lived and worked in the human world, is basically the same as an ordinary person, especially his image as an ordinary person living at the bottom of society, which is even more vivid.
At this moment, Shang Lin suddenly understood that it made sense for demon cultivators to engage with the world, as they could learn a lot and come up with more solutions when they faced tribulations.
Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in the human realm is now scarce, and the resources available for cultivation are even more meager. It is already difficult for demon cultivators to advance, and this situation is even worse, essentially cutting off their chance of survival.
Although the sellers of the mountain products were different, the products were all the same. Manager Duan was a professional in this regard, so he quickly completed the transaction and left in a hurry. Even so, Shang Lin did not have time to go to the hospital to see Lin Shengqi.
As She Jinxing escorted Shang Lin back to school, he handed him a wad of cash and said with a hint of envy, "The sect leader is truly amazing. I only earn eight hundred yuan a month carrying bricks on a construction site."
Shang Lin smiled helplessly and said, "Things will get better slowly. Our Yuntai Sect will become better and stronger. As for the money, it's inconvenient for me to keep it with the Divine Lord. If you need the money, it's easy for you to ask the Divine Lord for it."
After all, She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi are demon cultivators and servants of Shang Lin, so they can help him with many things, such as burning things for Qiu Niang and the others. As for Huang Li, he is still young and should focus on cultivation.
Before Shang Lin could finish speaking, he stopped in his tracks. She Jinxing also stopped. There were seven or eight boys fighting on the path in front of them. Judging from their school uniforms, they were from different schools.
Moreover, Shang Lin also saw Chu Jiusheng. At that moment, he really didn't understand what these little brats were thinking. But he couldn't ignore it, because there were only three of them, and they were already at a disadvantage.
Shang Lin immediately said to She Jinxing, "Can we separate them?"
Although She Jinxing had to work illegally because he didn't have an ID card, his fighting skills were definitely top-notch. When he said "I can," he had already dashed over.
Shang Lin watched as She Jinxing stopped one boy with each movement, separating the group in just a few seconds. The speed was almost blinding.
The boys were all stunned by the sudden turn of events. They all wanted to know who this person was, where he came from, and how he dared to meddle in their business.
But when they thought about how powerful this person was, they didn't dare to question him. They could only subconsciously look around to hide their various emotions. As a result, Chu Jiusheng immediately saw Shang Lin walking towards him.
Despite his tall and big appearance, this kid is still a minor. His eyes lit up when he saw Shang Lin, but he quickly turned his face away in embarrassment.
Shang Lin had already walked up to Chu Jiusheng, looked up at his cat-like face, and actually smiled slightly, "I thought you were so amazing, but it turns out you dared to accept the challenge without any preparation."
Before Chu Jiusheng could speak, Shang Lin turned to the boys in the No. 3 Middle School uniform and said, "Is it something to be proud of to bully the weak with numbers? Is violence the only way to settle things? Have you ever thought about who you represent? Do you have classes, schools, and families behind you? What will they do if something happens to you? You should do what you are supposed to do at your age. If you are not convinced, then fight him."
Shang Lin pointed at She Jinxing and said, "If you can beat him, you can do whatever you want. If you can't, go back to school and stop causing trouble."
She Jinxing stood between the two sides very cooperatively, saying nothing and just quietly watching them. Even so, the aura he exuded made the boys not dare to move at all.
In fact, She Jinxing had already restrained his aura. After all, they were human children, and it wouldn't be good if he frightened them. He hadn't dared to use force just now, but it would still hurt them for a while.
Although boys are combative, the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is human nature, or rather, the instinct of most living beings. Naturally, they would be afraid. As for whether they could beat the man in front of them...
Hehe, they know their own limitations, so everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
Shang Lin glanced at Chu Jiusheng again, and the man immediately turned his gaze away to the side, saying in a muffled voice, "I'll do whatever you say."
Luo Fanzhou and Bi Ran, the two followers who had just risen from the ninth level, were both stunned by his awkward appearance. Then they subconsciously looked at Shang Lin. This person was formidable, but they didn't expect the people around him to be even more formidable. They should definitely not provoke him in the future.
But the next second, one of the boys from No. 3 Middle School suddenly said, unwilling to give up, "He's not a student, how could he..."
Shang Lin immediately looked at the other person, his face expressionless, but he silenced the other person instantly.
She Jinxing especially wanted to say, "Sect Leader is mighty." Although the Sect Leader looked the smallest among these boys, his aura was not to be underestimated.
To save Shang Lin the trouble, She Jinxing casually picked up a half-brick from the roadside, crushed it with a flick of his fingers, and said, "Go back to class obediently, don't mess with my cousin, and don't fight."
After saying that, he clapped his hands to shake off the crumbs, exuding an extremely domineering aura.
Shang Lin paused, then said in a very cooperative tone, "Aren't you going back to school yet?"
