When Shang Lin returned home, Hu Tangdi and Xing Tian were already back. Hu Tangdi was setting the table, while Xing Tian and She Jinxing were discussing the location of the martial arts school and how to attract more students.
What should have been a normal scene turned into something quite bizarre because the house was too small and Xing Tian and She Jinxing didn't want to take up Shang Lin's bedroom. They were floating above the small living room, seemingly discussing something.
The Divine Lord is no longer watching dramas. He's eating fruit while playing chess with Ji Xiaoyao in Old Man Chai's bedroom. If it weren't for the noise he makes while eating fruit, people would probably think they don't exist.
Shang Lin found the atmosphere at home strange, but he went to wash his hands and eat as if nothing was wrong. High school courses were much more difficult than junior high courses, and he was quite tired after listening to classes all morning.
Seeing Shang Lin sit down to eat, Xing Tianyi hurriedly floated to his side and asked with concern, "Sect Master, how was your first day of class?"
"It's alright. But the diagnostic test is tomorrow, I don't know if I can do well." I didn't expect that the diagnostic test in junior high and high school would be exactly the same.
Xing Tian said confidently, "Sect Master, don't worry. Your only weakness is foreign languages. We've already given you intensive training, so it's no problem at all."
Shang Lin was just saying it casually. It's only the beginning of the semester, and even if he fails the exam, he still has three years to work hard. What's the rush? So he asked Xing Tian, "How's it going with your discussions? Are you really going to open a martial arts gym?"
Xing Tian nodded, "Yes, we can teach both online and offline at the same time. Now that She Jinxing has his ID card, he can register an account and a company. We've already thought of a name: Yuntai Sect Martial Arts Hall."
Shang Lin paused, "So, is our Yuntai Sect about to appear before the world?"
Xing Tian suddenly said with some pride, "Yes, our Yuntai Sect will grow stronger one day. This is just the beginning."
Shang Lin had no doubts and asked again, "Then what about the fruit and vegetable business?"
"Oh." Xing Tian smiled brightly. "I said from the beginning that Junior Sister Hu is best suited for sales, and now is the perfect time."
Hu Tangdi quickly stated his position, "I want to make traditional Chinese style clothing."
Xing Tian flattered her, saying, "Junior sister is exceptionally capable. She will definitely manage both without any problems. Besides, traditional Chinese clothing isn't mass-produced, so it won't take much time."
Hu Tangdi looked at Xing Tian with some dissatisfaction, "Then what are you doing?"
"Me? I have so much to do." Xing Tian began to list, "Maintaining our previous accounts, helping Xiao She open and nurture new accounts, giving advice, filming, editing..."
"Stop." Hu Tangdi resignedly interrupted Xing Tian. "Eat first. The sect leader needs to take a nap."
"Oh, right." Xing Tian then looked at Shang Lin and said confidently, "Sect Master, don't worry, now that I'm back, you can focus on your studies. Leave the money-making to us. So, can I have an ID card?"
"No." Shang Lin refused decisively. "Besides, it's useless for you to have an ID card. Can you still go out to work during the day? You should stay and be the sect's strategist."
Xing Tian, "..."
After a long pause, he said with great regret, "Alright then."
Shang Lin's refusal of Xing Tian was actually driven by ulterior motives. They now had to go through Situ Pojun to process non-human ID cards, and that person seemed to have some serious illness, as he would hire anyone he saw.
It's alright for me and She Jinxing, at least we're alive. I'm still a minor and have a real reason to go to school. But Xing Tian is different. He meets Situ Pojun's recruitment criteria in every way. How could he be willing to not keep him?
Besides, it's okay to do something once or twice, but it's not appropriate to do it a third time. If things get out of hand, they'll probably have a lot of trouble. But as I said before, dealing with trouble will take up their time to do other things, which is a bit of a loss.
After all, human life is finite, and the time we can actually do things is even more limited. We can't afford to waste time, so we should try to avoid trouble whenever possible.
Hu Tangdi added fuel to the fire, "Why are you so down? You're not alive, what use is an ID card to you? Now that Qiu Niang is gone, aren't there enough things in the sect for you to keep you busy? Don't try to be nice and tell the sect leader to focus on his studies."
Xing Tian immediately looked at Hu Tangdi, "Junior sister, don't take revenge too quickly. Hurting each other will damage the friendship between fellow disciples, and your senior brother is very distressed." After saying that, he clutched his chest, looking as if he was in great pain.
Shang Lin suddenly laughed and said, "Alright, alright, everyone hurry up and eat."
Since Qiu Niang's reincarnation, the atmosphere in their sect has been gloomy, and only now is it starting to resemble what it used to be. Shang Lin subconsciously looked at "Old Man Chai".
Ji Xiaoyao looked up and said to Xing Tian, "I can also help at the martial arts hall. I know some cold weapons."
Xing Tian's eyes immediately lit up, and he almost grabbed Ji Xiaoyao's hand and said, "We need someone like you, General. But since you're not in good health, you can just give us some pointers."
She Jinxing looked over with a gleam in his eyes, "Can you teach me first? I want to film a video."
When She Jinxing and Xing Tian were discussing filming the video, he said, "I know magic, but I don't know much about human martial arts. What if we can't make it?"
Xing Tian said at the time, "Go watch some martial arts videos."
Where can watching martial arts videos compare to live instruction? Moreover, Ji Xiaoyao was a great general in ancient times, making him the perfect fit. However, since his return, he has been so withdrawn that it's as if he doesn't exist, and no one wants to disturb him.
Oh, and also, Ji Xiaoyao needs to heal Old Man Chai's internal injuries, and no one wants him to be overworked, but now that he's offered to do so, who would let him go? After all, it's a rare opportunity.
Although Ji Xiaoyao took the initiative to speak, he only replied with a dull "okay." But no matter what, he would definitely do his best to complete the task he had promised.
The atmosphere inside was harmonious, so Shang Lin ate his meal in peace. However, he suddenly looked at the God and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is the God only eating fruit and not rice?"
The deity glared at Shang Lin. "Didn't my disciple tell you that my tastes have changed recently and I like to eat fruit?"
"I did say that, but I never expected you to only eat fruit!" He's being wronged, okay? Besides, with the way you eat, how are we supposed to sell fruit?
The only thing constantly increasing in the Dragon Spirit Tower is the quantity and variety of medicinal herbs; everything else remains unchanged. Well, as long as the Divine Lord is happy, that's fine. Perhaps this is the main reason Xing Tian had Hu Tangdi manage both sides?
However, the God Lord ignored Shang Lin and simply disappeared. He still had to be the "benchmark" for Lü Yao and was working hard. What was wrong with eating fruit?
Shang Lin felt like he was being disliked by the God-King again, so he could only continue eating and then taking a nap. He was already used to it, wasn't he?
