She Jinxing quickly put Shang Lin down and retaliated with a backhand strike. At the same time, his natal sword appeared in his hand. When Shang Lin saw this, he thought, "If these two great demons start fighting, will the office building still be standing?"
I believe it won't be long before they trend on social media, so I immediately put them into the Dragon Spirit Tower. If they want to fight, they should fight inside. If She Jinxing can't win, the tower spirit can help. In short, they won't cause trouble outside.
Just as Shang Lin was about to go and see what was going on, Situ Pojun arrived and immediately asked, "When did you get here? Where is Ji Xiaoyao?"
Shang Lin smiled awkwardly but politely, "I came to see Ji Xiaoyao. He just left, and I'm about to leave too."
Situ Pojun went to the "well" and looked inside, then stared at Shang Lin in surprise, "He! Eate it all?!"
When Situ Pojun noticed something amiss and ran down to investigate, the surroundings were already a white blur. Ji Xiaoyao was in a meditative state, so he didn't know how many evil spirits the other had consumed. Now, seeing this...
Haha, what a guy! How did Ji Xiaoyao manage that? Isn't he worried that he himself might turn into a demon?
"Maybe," Shang Lin continued with an awkward laugh, "after all, I wasn't there."
Because of his worry, Situ Pojun didn't notice Shang Lin's embarrassment and attempt to hide it, and asked again, "Is he alright?"
After all, Situ Pojun still greatly admired Ji Xiaoyao; otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of storing food for him after only working for him for a few days.
Shang Lin touched his nose sheepishly, "It's... alright." He really couldn't say more!
Situ Pojun was taken aback, then gave Shang Lin a thumbs up, "Your Yuntai Sect is indeed full of talented people. So many evil spirits ate it, yet he wasn't affected and didn't turn into an evil spirit himself. It's simply comparable to..."
"Wait a minute, you're saying Ji Xiaoyao might turn into an evil spirit?!"
Good heavens, how could I not have considered this possibility? I thought General Ji was mature and steady, but I never expected him to be so ignorant of the situation!
Situ Pojun explained, "If it were an ordinary ghost cultivator, he would definitely turn into an evil ghost, but Ji Xiaoyao didn't change much. It seems that those evil ghosts are only helpful to him."
"Hehe, that's hard to say," Shang Lin hurriedly said. "Since he's gone, I'll be going too. Goodbye."
Situ Pojun immediately followed, "Since you're already here, don't rush off. Come upstairs and have a cup of tea. We can talk about the East China Sea reclamation project."
Normally, Shang Lin would definitely agree, because this could be a money-making opportunity for their sect. However, "Not today. I have to refine pills, draw talismans, and do my homework. I don't have a single moment."
Situ Pojun bluntly exposed, "When don't you do these things?"
Well, I've been doing that lately, but "the matter of pioneering in the East China Sea can't be explained in just a few words. Besides, none of you have gone there to understand the actual situation. What are you talking about now? Isn't it just empty talk? And winter vacation includes the New Year. I don't want to have to rush orders and homework during the New Year. I need to rest for a few days."
That made so much sense that he couldn't refute it. Situ Pojun could only reluctantly compromise, "Alright, alright, anyway, you and Shang Jing have already said quite a bit. I believe he will do even better once we get to the East Sea."
"Exactly, you have to trust the former CEO's abilities." As he spoke, Shang Lin took the lead into the elevator, showing how anxious he was. "Didn't Lan Xuan and Shang Jing say before that their appointment reports were submitted but haven't been approved yet? Can Shang Jing go with you?"
Situ Pojun scoffed, "I've already been demoted to pioneering work, can't I even have a subordinate?"
Shang Lin particularly wanted to say, "It's fine if it's an ordinary subordinate, but it might not be a problem for a former CEO like Shang Jing. Unless the person transferred here doesn't know his true abilities, it would be strange if they let him leave."
However, the elevator quickly reached the first floor, and Shang Lin hurriedly left. He had a lot of things to deal with in his sect, so he couldn't care less about others. Besides, Situ Pojun wasn't stupid; if he really wanted to take Shang Jing away, he would definitely have a way.
Shang Lin hailed a taxi as soon as he left the house. Instead of going home immediately, he went straight to Xing Tian's house. No one was home at that time, which was perfect for resolving Ji Xiaoyao's problem.
Sigh, I only thought about Ji Xiaoyao's soul, but I didn't think about the influence of the evil spirit's yin energy on ghost cultivators. If he becomes an evil spirit because of this, that would be troublesome. Should I have taken him in as a disciple and then destroyed him with my own hands?
As the head of a sect, Shang Lin had done things like purging members before, but those were necessary cleanups, so he naturally didn't feel reluctant and even thought it was a good thing. But now...
If Ji Xiaoyao really becomes an evil spirit, then I am also the one who started it!
As expected, no one was at Xing Tian's house at the moment. Shang Lin quickly entered the tower. Not only were Ji Xiaoyao and She Jinxing fighting fiercely inside, but even the Divine Lord had joined in. Lü Yao and A Chou were watching from the sidelines.
Shang Lin's heart trembled. Was Ji Xiaoyao truly turning into a demon? Should they eliminate him, imprison him, or perhaps have a painting made to seal him away? As for destruction, he truly couldn't bear to do it.
As his thoughts raced, Shang Lin suddenly saw that Ji Xiaoyao's "outer shell" suddenly shattered like a cracked eggshell, and in a short while, the falling matter turned into ashes.
Shang Lin subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and then looked at Ji Xiaoyao as if he had been reborn, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud, as if he were a dead thing.
Shang Lin rushed forward, but was pulled back by the Divine Lord. "Don't get close to him. He doesn't have much self-awareness right now."
"So what's his situation now?" Although Shang Lin was held back by the Divine Lord, his gaze was still fixed on Ji Xiaoyao. "Situ Pojun said that he has eaten too many evil spirits. If his cultivation level is average, he can easily be controlled by evil spirits and become an even more powerful evil spirit."
Seeing that Shang Lin had no intention of going forward again, the deity released his arm. "It doesn't seem like it to me. Although he doesn't have much consciousness right now, he won't hurt people on his own initiative. It's more like... he's trying to exhaust his internal energy."
"...So what's wrong with him now?"
Even the deity didn't know, and could only guess, "Perhaps he's exhausted. After all, he's a newcomer now, and he needs to rest for a while."
Shang Lin then looked at Shen Jun and She Jinxing, "Are you injured?"
Ji Xiaoyao was mentally unstable, so he could fight recklessly without regard for consequences. However, She Jinxing and the Divine Lord were both fully conscious and determined not to harm their fellow disciples.
She Jinxing quickly sheathed his natal sword. "I'm fine. I also think General Ji's guess is similar to the Divine Lord's. He's just expending his energy. But what should we do now that he's like this?"
