Although the Divine Lord always spoke sarcastically to Shang Lin's face, when praising him in front of others, he was absolutely unabashed, his eyes practically sparkling, almost beaming with joy.
He said to Bai Chengyun with great pride, "Then you don't understand Shang Lin. He knows a lot, and he's willing to learn and accept new knowledge and new things. You won't lose out by following him. After all, in the human realm, where can you find spiritual energy higher than the Dragon Spirit Tower? It's perfect for a newly transformed dragon cub like you to cultivate."
Bai Chengyun had no doubt about the rich spiritual energy inside the Dragon Spirit Tower, but the cub... how come he and his daughter had the same name?
Okay, I've just transformed into a dragon, so I'm probably still a cub in the eyes of the dragon race. But, can the God-King not say that? Why does it sound so awkward?
Oh, and also, how could Shang Lin, at such a young age, possibly have so much? Even if he is exceptionally talented, or even if he started learning from the womb, there still wouldn't be enough time.
Most importantly, Shang Lin is not an ordinary human; he has about half demon blood. Among demons, those who can refine pills, draw talismans, and set up formations are extremely rare, especially those who can draw talismans—they are almost nonexistent. Therefore…
Just who is this Sect Master Shang? But now is not the time to dwell on that. Anyway, I'm already inside the Dragon Spirit Tower, so I'll have plenty of time to find out later.
So Bai Chengyun said to the deity, "Then this junior will go to cultivate in the water."
"Okay, go ahead, but don't rush things. Don't forget, you still have to teach Xiaobai. It wouldn't be good to delay it."
The mention of teaching Xiaobai made the God Lord feel a sense of relief. With Bai Chengyun around, he no longer needed to take care of or teach the child. He was happy.
Bai Chengyun lowered his head slightly, "What the Divine Lord says is true."
Watching Bai Chengyun leave with Xiao Bai in his arms, Chi Xie quietly asked the God, "Why is he so easy to talk to after he transformed into a dragon? He was so vicious when he tried to strangle me before! Could it be that transforming from a jiao (a type of dragon) into a dragon change one's personality?"
The Divine Lord looked at the Crimson Scorpion with great confusion. "Haven't you heard of 'times change'? When he wanted to strangle you, wasn't it because he was anxious to find his daughter? Now that he has successfully transformed into a dragon and is with his daughter, what is there for him to be ashamed of? Naturally, he won't be so violent anymore."
Red Scorpion muttered to himself, "That's true, but I still feel something's off." It's as if the violent Bai Chengyun is the one who should have been him.
The Divine Lord, however, said dismissively, "Why do you care if he's strange or not? Anyway, he's now a member of the Dragon Spirit Tower. In time, he'll reveal his true nature."
"Hmm." Red Scorpion subconsciously looked towards the second floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower. "I wonder how the sect leader's pill refining is going? How long will it take for his injuries to heal?"
The Divine Lord followed the Crimson Scorpion's gaze, but said confidently, "Don't worry, Shang Lin's injury will heal by tonight at the earliest, or the day before school starts at the latest."
Red Scorpion immediately looked at the God-King in utter shock, clearly asking, "How did you know?"
The deity shrugged and smiled, "Because he is Shang Lin!"
Red Scorpion, "..."
Unexpectedly, the Divine Lord also harbors the same inexplicable trust in the Sect Master. But they've known each other for so long; surely they understand the Sect Master quite well, which is why they trust him so much?
However, even though the little snake went up, the sect leader didn't let him come out!
