Shang Lin never expected Ji Xiaoyao to say such a thing. He was immediately taken aback. Was the General being too thoughtful? He didn't seem to need it. He was capable of protecting himself. Even if things got really bad, he could hide in the Dragon Spirit Tower and not come out, and his life wouldn't be in danger.
However, Ji Xiaoyao meant well, so Shang Lin agreed and said, "Okay." As for whether to use it or not, that was up to him.
After putting away his phone, Shang Lin made She Jinxing spit out the "garbage." He was puzzled, but he still cooperated and spat it out. Then he saw their sect leader put it all into the Dragon Spirit Tower.
Seeing She Jinxing's puzzled look, Shang Lin explained, "Green Jade needs fertilizer." After saying that, he told Hu Tangdi to clean up the battlefield, but he pulled She Jinxing's wrist to take his pulse.
She Jinxing looked at Shang Lin, puzzled. He was perfectly healthy, so what was the sect leader doing? Nevertheless, he waited patiently.
After examining the left hand, Shang Lin examined the right hand, and after a while, he said, "So you really have eaten junk food."
She Jinxing said very honestly, "I don't remember. How could it harm me?"
"You won't be harmful in human form, but your original form is a bit dangerous, especially when you go berserk. You're prone to losing your mind, or even becoming possessed by demons." After saying that, Shang Lin hurriedly reassured him, "But don't worry, I have a way to solve this. Every species will have hidden injuries left on its body during cultivation. As long as they can be detected and resolved in time, it's not a problem. The real danger is when problems arise during advancement, which can be fatal. If you feel anything is wrong in the future, tell me immediately. I'll resolve what I can as soon as possible, and for what I can't resolve, we'll think of a solution together."
She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi said in unison, "Thank you, Sect Master."
Shang Lin waved his hand casually, then asked She Jinxing, "How's the debt collection going? If it's not going well..."
She Jinxing hurriedly said, "Fortunately, it's easier to get the recent ones. It's a bit troublesome for the older ones, mainly because it's hard to find the right people."
Shang Lin casually praised, "Very good."
She Jinxing said, "Is the sect leader alright? Or should I take you home first?" It's unnecessary to put on a show in front of outsiders, especially in front of them.
"No need." Shang Lin had calmed down a bit by now, at least her legs weren't weak anymore. "We came out together, so let's go back together."
The next second, Shang Lin suddenly looked to his right and saw a young man in uniform walking over, asking with a friendly expression, "Young student, how do I get to Wangxiang Road?"
Under the pale moonlight, Shang Lin looked at the other person's feet. He didn't see a shadow but instead saw golden light of merit. He smiled slightly and said, "Wait a moment. My friend should know. I'll call him and ask him right away."
After saying that, Shang Lin took out his phone and called Situ Pojun. As soon as the call was connected, he said, "Come back quickly. Someone can't find Wangxiang Road. Can you take him there?"
Situ Pojun hadn't returned to the company yet. When he saw Shang Lin's call, he thought the other party had changed his mind. But as soon as he answered, he heard this sentence, and he subconsciously asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Shang Lin said in a low voice, "Don't you need talent? This person is quite a talent. Are you coming or not? If not, I'll take him away."
"……good."
Shang Lin put away her phone and immediately smiled at the man, "My friend will be here soon. Just follow him and you'll find the road to your hometown."
The man wasn't happy at all; instead, he looked at Shang Lin with great confusion. "Young man, it's already dark. Why are you all alone in the middle of nowhere? That's very dangerous."
Shang Lin subconsciously glanced at She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi. They weren't invisible, so how come this man couldn't see them? Or was it that his golden light of merit was helping him shield himself from other beings?
However, Shang Lin still smiled and replied, "I'm waiting for my family to pick me up. They'll be here soon."
"Oh." The man seemed a little relieved, but then said, "How about I take you home first, and then I'll..."
"No need, no need," Shang Lin refused instantly. "Someone is really coming to pick me up."
He quite liked the golden light of merit emanating from the young man, but his disciples might not be able to withstand it. He decided to give him to Situ Pojun instead. As for whether he could keep the man, that depended entirely on his abilities.
Situ Pojun moved very fast. It was unclear whether he hadn't gone far or was anxious and worried that Shang Lin would snatch the person from him, but he was genuinely stunned when he saw the young man.
I experienced firsthand what it means to "search high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly." There was a major case where they couldn't find the key person, to the point that years of effort were about to go to waste.
Situ Pojun snapped back to reality and asked Shang Lin in a low voice, "How did you meet him?"
Shang Lin sensed something was amiss when he saw Situ Pojun's gaze, but he spoke the truth: "His physique is special, making him prone to attracting other species."
Thinking of the oddballs around Shang Lin, Situ Pojun suddenly realized that it made sense. As for the sect leader of Yuntai Sect, he probably appointed himself to better manage the oddballs.
The young man didn't seem to care much when he saw Shang Lin, but his expression immediately changed when he saw Situ Pojun. "You, you're not human?"
Situ Pojun smiled slightly, "Could it be that you are?"
The young man subconsciously looked down at himself, seeing his clothes reduced to tattered strips and his body covered in wounds. He paused for a moment, then said, "What happened to me...?"
Situ Pojun said bluntly, "You died in the line of duty. Come back with me and tell me the information you received. We can still catch them all in one fell swoop."
The young man looked at Situ Pojun with some suspicion, "What are you talking about? I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the young man suddenly covered his head with both hands, looking like he was in pain. He was probably very strong-willed and didn't cry out in pain, but just endured it.
Shang Lin hurriedly stepped forward and put the young man into the Dragon Spirit Tower, and then said to Situ Pojun, "He was seriously injured before he died, so he probably doesn't remember those things. Let him stay here with me for a while to recover, and I'll come over to help you when he's fully recovered."
Situ Pojun looked at Shang Lin with a hint of regret, "How long will it take him to recover?"
Shang Lin replied honestly, "I don't know. I'll do my best, but it doesn't necessarily require his intervention to solve the problem. His presence can facilitate the progress of the case, can't it? I believe Mr. Situ has the means to do so."
Situ Pojun was taken aback, then suddenly understood, but said instead, "You really don't want to work in our office? If you think our office is too small, I can recommend you to the headquarters in the capital."
"No." Shang Lin refused instantly. "I really am a minor, a high school student. I just know a few things that are not respectable." Not respectable, literally.
Situ Pojun laughed, "Alright, everyone has their own ambitions."
