Seeing that the Divine Lord was silent, She Jinxing immediately transformed into human form, and at the same time scooped Xiaobai into his arms and held him, before whispering, "Red Scorpion, no matter what wrong the Sect Master is, he is still our Sect Master."
Red Scorpion glared at She Jinxing with a hint of annoyance. "Aren't you missing the point? It's not that I don't acknowledge Shang Lin as the sect leader, it's that I'm worried about him..."
Red Scorpion immediately stopped, amazed that he could so smoothly express his concern for Shang Lin. It was truly... something he had never seen before!
However, at this moment, the Divine Lord spoke up: "I believe everyone has sensed the unusual nature of Shang Lin's breakthrough this time, but so what? As long as it doesn't affect his body, that's fine. As for the rest, let's take it one step at a time!"
What else can they do? Shang Lin's background is a mystery, and the only person who knew anything about it, Old Man Chai, is gone. How can they still focus on investigating this matter?
Given their sect's current strength, they might not have found anything yet, but if those who covet Shang Lin's blood notice something amiss, that would be a huge problem.
Red Scorpion paused, realizing that it wasn't just him who had sensed Shang Lin's unusual behavior; everyone had. That was good, but, "Does even the Divine Lord know what's wrong with the Sect Master?"
The Divine Lord couldn't help but smile wryly. "I'm no longer an ancient divine dragon, but just a tower spirit, and one that depends on Shang Lin for existence. So I can't really explain what's going on with him. I suppose it's related to his half-demon bloodline?"
She Jinxing nodded and said, "It should be. The sect leader saw the inheritance of that unknown race before, but his spiritual power is weak now, so he didn't see anything. In fact, he was almost affected."
The deity immediately looked at She Jinxing, "When did this happen? Why didn't he say anything?"
She Jinxing answered truthfully, "It was during the time when the sect leader was trapped in the demon array and suffered a backlash from the Big Dipper array, but it only happened once and didn't have any effect on the sect leader, so I didn't mention it."
The deity nodded slightly, "Then it must be right. But what kind of demon is Shang Lin?"
Chi Xie and She Jinxing exchanged glances. They couldn't sense it either, but judging from the imposing aura emanating from their sect leader, he was definitely not an ordinary demon.
However, She Jinxing hurriedly said, "The Divine Lord is right. As long as the Sect Master is healthy, we should take it one step at a time as we go about it."
What else could be done? Red Scorpion could only nod in agreement, but then he asked, "When I was in the hospital, wasn't Changfeng with the sect leader? How come he disappeared as soon as I was discharged?"
She Jinxing smiled slightly, "The sect leader assigned Changfeng to Director Mo a long time ago, otherwise, this debt of gratitude would be hard to repay!"
The Divine Lord, however, said with a look of disapproval, "I think Shang Lin just wants Changfeng to return to his former master. He's just too soft-hearted."
She Jinxing was taken aback. Did the sect leader really think that way? He had contracted with Changfeng, after all. However, "Isn't the sect leader just too soft-hearted? Otherwise, what would we be doing here, and how could we have the Yuntai Sect as we know it today?"
Red Scorpion, however, thought, "He's soft-hearted? He has an innocent-looking face, yet he does many things that are unimaginable to us great demons. Now, his background is shrouded in mystery, and we don't know what kind of situation we will face when the mystery is revealed. I always felt that Shang Lin was not a kind person."
