Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Shang Lin with some confusion and subconsciously said, "I know what backlash means, but what do you mean by saying this?"
"Everything has its advantages and disadvantages." Shang Lin explained to Lin Xiaoxiao, which was quite rare for him. "If the medicine is effective and makes our studies less arduous, what price will we have to pay? For example, damage to our bodies, or even damage to our brains."
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned. "Is that so?" It sounded a little scary.
Shang Lin smiled and said, "This is just my guess. In any case, let's be down-to-earth and study hard. Don't try to take shortcuts. If we do, we won't get any good results."
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly stared blankly at Shang Lin, and said in a lower voice, "You seem like a teacher. How come you speak so eloquently and see things so clearly? I never thought of that! I was just thinking, what if it works?"
Shang Lin smiled again, but didn't say anything. Young people always have to go through experiences to grow up. Otherwise, how could there be the saying "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit"?
But she's a young girl, so it's best to avoid bad experiences and focus on learning. As for this "medicine" thing... shouldn't I also look into it?
Sigh, never mind, let's find out about Cheng Qiao's situation first. After all, this matter has a significant impact, and I don't know if Xiao She's investigation will go smoothly.
She Jinxing concealed himself and followed Cheng Qiao. However, to his surprise, the man only attended the first class in the afternoon before leaving the school.
Even though She Jinxing had never attended a human school, he knew that students rarely asked for leave during class unless there was something very important or they were sick.
Therefore, She Jinxing, who was investigating the truth of the matter, could only leave with Cheng Qiao. However, he really disliked the foul aura emanating from Cheng Qiao.
But because of this, She Jinxing was somewhat curious: how did the child, who was perfectly fine before, suddenly become like this?
Cheng Qiao took leave but did not go home. Instead, he went to an unfinished building in the suburbs. Originally, this place was planned to be developed into a high-end villa area, but for some reason, construction was stopped halfway through and has been going on for about ten years now.
She Jinxing followed Cheng Qiao into a nearly completed villa, and then followed him to the basement. The basement was different from the above-ground buildings; it was not only fully constructed but also renovated.
Of course, the decor wasn't particularly luxurious or complicated; it was more like a habitable and living space than a typical floor. But none of that really mattered. What was most eye-catching was…
On the basement floor, there was a patterned carpet. The carpet was gray, and the pattern was blood red. It looked eerie and creepy. It was hard to tell whether the pattern was painted on or if it was the actual pattern of the carpet.
However, She Jinxing had been by Shang Lin's side the longest, and had gradually come to understand his talisman drawing and array setting. So even though he didn't understand it, when he saw the strange carpet pattern, he instinctively thought of arrays or magic formations.
She Jinxing was about to take out his phone to take a picture so he could show it to Shang Lin. After all, he couldn't describe it verbally or draw it. But then he saw Cheng Qiao sit down right in the middle of the carpet.
She Jinxing stopped abruptly as he was about to quietly take out his phone. What was he doing...?
