Watching the Divine Lord fly towards the riverbank, Shang Lin found it somewhat amusing. Initially, the Divine Lord wanted to take Ji Xiaoyao as a disciple to pass the long hours, but now he really didn't need to at all.
Because Xiao Bai alone is enough to fill all of the God Lord's free time, no, all of his time. If he wants to have some peace and quiet, he has to see if there is anyone to replace him, or if Xiao Bai is taking a break!
As soon as Shang Lin left the tower, he began to wash up. When he finished washing up and was about to lie down to rest, She Jinxing returned. He didn't expect the other party to return so early and hurriedly asked, "Did something happen to Fan Mingyu?"
"No." She Jinxing looked at Shang Lin, puzzled. "Why would the Sect Master think that?"
Shang Lin explained, "I didn't expect you to come back so early. I thought something had happened to Fan Mingyu and you were in a hurry to come back to find me."
She Jinxing smiled slightly, "I've been following my junior brother the whole time and didn't notice anything wrong. He's asleep now, so I came back. Maybe it really is as the sect leader said, that what he saw was just an illusion caused by the overlapping of light and shadow."
"I hope so!" But Shang Lin was still worried. He had already confirmed Fan Mingyu's physical aftereffects, but he couldn't be sure about his mental ones.
However, Shang Lin said to She Jinxing, "You're back just in time. Remind Lü Yao to take some medicinal herbs back to Red Scorpion to cook with, since there are many demon cultivators over there." Lü Yao was "drunk" again, and he was really afraid that it would forget.
However, She Jinxing said, "I'm afraid the sect leader will have to step in. I've been getting medicinal herbs a lot these past two days, and the green herbs are almost turning into black ones!"
Shang Lin, "..."
Is Green Jade really that stingy? Well, after all, it was grown with great effort, so it's hard to part with it.
Thinking about it, Shang Lin felt a little guilty. "Don't worry, I've already told Lü Yao, I'm just afraid it'll forget."
She Jinxing smiled with relief: "That's good. I was worried that it wouldn't give it to me when I went to ask for it tomorrow. Green One has low intelligence and is not easy to communicate with. It probably only listens to the sect leader."
Shang Lin held out his still-healing fingertip and showed it to She Jinxing. "Don't worry, I've already bribed him."
She Jinxing frowned slightly in disapproval, but couldn't bring himself to say anything to stop it. After all, Lü Yao was also the sect leader's servant, and there was a kind of exchange between them, just different from that between the demon cultivators.
But She Jinxing couldn't help but advise, "Sect Leader, you must cherish your body. You can't think that everything will be fine once your body is rebuilt."
"I know." Shang Lin quickly changed the subject. "However, I'm still a little worried about Fan Mingyu. Why don't you go check on him again in a bit?"
"Sect Master, aren't you worried that Fan Mingyu will have nightmares?"
"Yes, a little. Now that I know all about his physical aftereffects, we need to observe him from a psychological perspective. After all, he's a minor, so it's better to be careful."
"Okay, I'll go check on Xiaobai first, then I'll go."
"Okay." They're all cubs, we can't favor one over the other, Shang Lin said, understanding, and then he lay down to rest.
Night enveloped every corner of the city. Fan Mingyu walked alone on the deserted streets, looking somewhat eerie and terrifying under the dim moonlight. He was a little confused; this wasn't the way home for him!
The next second, she realized something was wrong. It wasn't holiday time yet, so how could she possibly go home? Besides, it was so quiet all around that she could only hear her own footsteps and even her own heartbeat.
That wasn't all; there was also a chilling wind blowing, which made him shiver involuntarily. Looking down at himself, he realized he was wearing pajamas. No wonder he was so cold.
Feeling a bit dizzy, Fan Mingyu felt as if he had missed something. He walked passively, and strange sounds began to emanate from the previously empty alley, as if something was slowly approaching in the darkness.
He instinctively quickened his pace, his heart pounding. He must have forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried. It was as if a fog had risen in his mind, completely obscuring his true self.
Fan Mingyu stopped under a streetlamp. In the dim light, a blurry black shadow seemed to appear and disappear behind him. He turned around in alarm, but saw nothing. Yet, the chilling feeling of being watched lingered.
But now, the fog in his mind seemed to be clearing up a bit. Had he had a similar feeling before, with each step he took, he felt as if an invisible hand was pulling him, and he could hear eerie whispers in his ear, as if they were saying something terrible...?
"Oh my god!" he thought, remembering the situation before when he was targeted by the evil spirit. But hadn't Shang Lin already dealt with it? Why was it back?!
Fan Mingyu's forehead was immediately covered in cold sweat, and his breathing became rapid. He subconsciously reached for his phone to call Shang Lin.
For some reason, he couldn't make the call, and a thick fog gradually filled the surroundings. But at that moment, Fan Mingyu had only one thought in his mind: to call Shang Lin.
In fact, besides calling Shang Lin over and over again, he didn't know what else he could do. The fog had already disoriented him, and the dim moonlight was quickly swallowed by the darkness.
As for the streetlights, they seemed to have never existed. The light emanating from his phone screen was Fan Mingyu's only solace at this moment. He finally made the call, but no one answered. A powerful sense of oppression and powerlessness was about to overwhelm him.
Fan Mingyu felt that he could not move, and his vision was gradually blurring. A terrifying scene seemed to appear in front of him, with distorted faces flashing past him and emitting shrill screams.
But at this moment, Fan Mingyu actually mustered all his strength to shout, "Shang Lin, help!"
The next second, a golden point of light appeared in the darkness. Then, like the sun breaking through the morning mist and leaping into the sky, it dispelled the darkness without a trace. Fan Mingyu instantly felt as if he had finally come back to life and took deep breaths.
He looked up and saw someone coming from behind the light, taking him away from this cold place. Fan Mingyu suddenly opened his eyes and saw the morning light shining through the window of the dormitory.
Once his breathing had calmed down and he came to his senses, Fan Mingyu immediately got out of bed, took out his hidden phone, and called Shang Lin, regardless of the time. He was worried that if he didn't tell her about his dream now, she might forget it again and he would have nightmares like that again.
