The next second, the Divine Lord emerged from the Dragon Spirit Tower, followed by She Jinxing, and even A Chou. But Shang Lin stared at the Divine Lord in shock, hurriedly sitting up and asking, "You... are you going to become an ordinary person?"
Because of the Soul-Stabilizing Pill, the Divine Lord is now basically no different from an ordinary human, except that his eyes are gray. He has taken off his long robe and put on casual clothes and sneakers. He has even cut his hair short and dyed it black, looking exactly like a recent college graduate, as long as he doesn't speak.
"What do you mean by being an ordinary person? Can I even be ordinary? I'm just tired of this style and want to try something different. How about it? Not bad, right?"
Shang Lin sincerely praised, "That's great! But what's the reason you suddenly want to change your image?"
"Of course, it's for freedom of movement. When I get back, I'll go to Situ Pojun's place to get an ID card, and then I'll be your bodyguard at all times, just like the little snake."
Shang Lin instinctively said, "I can't afford it."
After saying that, he looked at Ah Chou and asked, "Why did you come out too?"
Ah Chou actually said, "Learn and adapt to the world now."
Shang Lin, "..."
Are all the disciples so up-to-date? This is really not easy for the old-timers, especially the God Lord, who has lived for countless years and there is nothing that can touch his nerves anymore.
She Jinxing said, "Sect Master, you are resting. We are here to keep watch for you. This place is not peaceful."
Shang Lin said calmly, "It's alright, as long as you don't expose yourselves. Who knows what kind of people are attending this auction?"
“Hmm.” She Jinxing suddenly asked, “Sect Master, could this auction be the same one Cheng Qiao mentioned in the chat app? No, it shouldn’t be. The auction he mentioned involved hunting, and it seemed like they hunted something first before the auction started.”
Shang Lin was a little sleepy at the moment, and only said, "In short, we should be careful in everything we do. I'm too sleepy and need to go to sleep."
The deity transmitted his voice to She Jinxing, "Alas, humans are truly fragile."
She Jinxing smiled slightly and transmitted his voice in return, "If the Sect Master hadn't been burdened by Yuan Shanglin's physical condition, he wouldn't be so fragile. Besides, didn't Master say before, 'Water overflows when it's full, and the moon wanes when it's full?' If the Sect Master had a strong physique, who knows what would happen?"
God, "..."
My disciple is becoming increasingly disobedient; he even tries to shut himself up with his own words. He deserves a beating.
However, as Shang Lin's breathing became even, the three aliens immediately formed a triangle, protecting him within it.
Perhaps because he was tired from traveling yesterday, or perhaps because someone was watching over him, Shang Lin didn't wake up until 7:30 the next morning, finally breaking his biological clock from the previous few days when he would wake up early like he was going to class.
Shang Lin felt refreshed when he woke up. He got dressed and was about to wash up when he received a message from Yu Qingfeng asking if he was awake.
Shang Lin hurriedly replied: I'm up, I was just about to wash up.
Qingfeng Temple - Yu Qingfeng: Fifteen minutes later, we will gather outside the room and go downstairs together for breakfast.
Yuntai Sect - Shang Lin: Okay.
After Shang Lin finished washing up, he realized that She Jinxing was still outside. He hurriedly said, "Don't stay outside. Go back to the tower. As for food, if there's anything tasty, I'll buy it for you. If not, you'll have to eat the reserve food."
She Jinxing was very worried. "Can't I just follow the sect leader? As for what I eat, it doesn't matter."
Shang Lin wanted to say, "You don't care, but the Divine Lord can't. His emotions are finally a little stable now, and I don't want to see him 'have an attack' again."
However, she refused, saying, "No, and you don't need to worry. If I'm in any danger, you'll sense it and save me immediately. Besides, I'm not alone; I have Yu Qingfeng and Yao Mingyue too."
"...Alright then, Sect Master, please be careful."
"Okay." He's acting like a young boy again.
When Shang Lin left, Yu Qingfeng also left. Yao Mingyue was a little later than them, but not by much. However, they all looked like they hadn't slept well and were even yawning repeatedly.
Shang Lin looked at them with some confusion and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Are you having trouble sleeping in a new bed?"
Yao Mingyue nodded. "Yes, I am a little bit light sleeper, but that's not the main reason. The main reason is that I feel the atmosphere here is not right, which is why it affects my sleep."
Shang Lin subconsciously looked at Yu Qingfeng again, only to hear him say, "I don't think there's anything wrong with my aura, it's just that I kept having dreams while I was sleeping, as if I was traveling in the desert and suddenly encountered a sandstorm. I was so tired. When I woke up this morning, it felt like I had really gone on a desert trip."
Yao Mingyue looked at Shang Lin's face and asked, "You seem to have slept well; your complexion is much better than yesterday."
Shang Lin thought to himself, "With three big shots keeping watch for me, if I can't sleep well, let's not stay here. Let's run as fast as we can."
However, she said, "I'm not feeling well, and I was traveling all day yesterday, so I went straight to sleep. Of course I didn't sleep well."
As the three of them talked, they headed towards the elevator. Shang Lin then asked, "You've been here before, haven't you? Did you enjoy the food?"
Yu Qingfeng replied, "It's alright. There aren't that many rules when you're traveling. We brought some food with us, enough to last for two days."
The three of them quickly arrived at the restaurant on the first floor. Perhaps because there was nowhere else to eat, Shang Lin felt that the place was packed as soon as she entered.
These people looked no different from ordinary people, even their clothing was very ordinary, completely unlike when they went to the Northwest before, where they wore elaborate robes and ceremonial garments that made them stand out. But thinking about it, it made sense; the trip to the Northwest was for exorcising demons, while this time they were just buying things.
Breakfast was simple: porridge, steamed buns, pancakes, soy milk, and eggs—nothing else. However, Shang Lin only took two boiled eggs.
Yu Qingfeng couldn't help but ask, "You eat so little?"
Shang Lin nodded, "Yeah, I'm not hungry."
The main issue is that Shang Lin is a bit too wary, especially about things he puts in his mouth. But can we say that? What if he's being overly cautious? Wouldn't that make him a laughingstock? He's supposed to be the head of a sect; he should at least act like one.
Yao Mingyue kindly reminded her, "The auction starts at nine o'clock, and we don't know when it will end. You should eat more."
Shang Lin took out a chocolate from his pocket and shook it. "It's okay, I have some food reserves."
Yao Mingyue, “…”
Compromise: "Okay."
Only now did they realize that Shang Lin was like a sixteen-year-old boy, for example, being a picky eater and loving sweets. It seemed that they had been overthinking things regarding Shang Lin's age.
