差不多每天晚上放学，商凛都会和室友们一起回寝室，尤其是孟谪，绝对不让他身边没人，好像他随时会被什么鬼勾走似的。
Su Jinghang and Shang Lin are deskmates, and Su Jinghang has been helped by Shang Lin before, so he is very attached to him. Lin Shengqi goes without saying, as he also saved Shang Lin's life. So Shang Lin is always surrounded by a lively crowd.
On the way back, Su Jinghang started complaining, "Our junior high classes are all messed up, especially the evening classes. I didn't even have my mom take my dirty clothes back, I had to wash them myself."
Shang Lin immediately laughed, but Meng Zhe retorted without any politeness, "You're so lazy! How old are you? You still have your mother wash your stinky socks? Aren't you ashamed?"
Su Jinghang wasn't angry when he was rebuked; instead, he said in a boastful tone, "You're just envious and jealous."
Lin Shengqi said to Shang Lin, "I just returned to school and don't have any dirty clothes. I'll wash them for you."
Before Shang Lin could refuse, Meng Zhe beat her to it, saying, "Why are you washing? I'll take care of it. Taking care of patients is the most tiring thing. You need to rest for a few more days."
Su Jinghang immediately grabbed Meng Zhe's arm with a fawning smile, "Brother Meng, you've already washed Xiao Shang's clothes, so why don't you wash mine too?"
Meng Zhe replied with a dark face, "Dream on! Shang Lin is in poor health, but you're perfectly healthy in every way. You think you can slack off?"
Su Jinghang still wouldn't give up, "Brother Meng, Brother Meng, can you just pretend I'm not feeling well too?"
"Pah, pah, pah! How can you say such things?" Meng Zhe glared at Su Jinghang, looking particularly serious. "Children's words are innocent, let them go with the wind."
Su Jinghang was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter without any regard for his image, "Brother Meng, Brother Meng, you, you're so cute."
Meng Zhe's face darkened further. "You're the cute one. Your whole family is cute."
Even after Meng Zhe said that, Su Jinghang's laughter didn't stop, only a little softer, and he added jokingly, "Yes, yes, what's wrong with being cute?"
Lin Shengqi and Shang Lin looked at the two clowns and smiled silently. The four of them went back to the dormitory in a lively manner. However, when the door opened, Su Jinghang and Lin Shengqi walked in as if nothing had happened, but Shang Lin and Meng Zhe both paused for a moment.
Meng Zhe subconsciously looked at Shang Lin. Had they even followed him all the way to the dormitory?
Meng Zhe was unaware of the aftermath of last Thursday night's events, so in his mind, the yin energy in the dormitory was still that of the female classmate, still attracted by Shang Lin's special physique, no, it should be said that she still wanted to harm him.
Seeing the shock and worry in Meng Zhe's eyes, Shang Lin immediately smiled confidently at him, "It's alright. They're all my disciples."
Although She Jinxing and Ji Xiaoyao left before Shang Lin and the others entered, their auras wouldn't leave with them. Ordinary people wouldn't notice anything, but it would be a different story for those who weren't.
Meng Zhe was particularly displeased with Shang Lin's carefree attitude. "How can you still laugh? Are you out of your mind?"
With Su Jinghang and Lin Shengqi present, Shang Lin didn't know what to say, only saying, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
In Meng Zhe's view, Shang Lin's attitude showed that he was ignorant of the situation, or rather, he was courting death. Didn't he know his own situation? How could he be so carefree?
When Shang Lin went out in the middle of the night, he paid attention to Meng Zhe's breathing for a while to make sure that he was indeed asleep before leaving. The bathroom was getting colder and colder at night, so he casually closed the window.
"Sect Master." Perhaps worried that his sudden appearance would frighten Shang Lin, She Jinxing hurriedly reminded him as soon as he appeared, "General Ji is in a bit of a state, don't be afraid."
Shang Lin wanted to say, "What kind of demons and monsters haven't I encountered? I've long since forgotten what fear is." But when he turned around and saw Ji Xiaoyao, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But Shang Lin wasn't afraid; he was worried. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How did you end up like this?"
Ji Xiaoyao spoke frankly, "I was scorched by the sunlight when I came out of the painting, but I will recover soon. However, I cannot return to the tower for the time being, so please do not force me, Sect Master."
Shang Lin immediately frowned, "But have you considered that this is how you can recover quickly inside the Dragon Spirit Tower?"
Ji Xiaoyao insisted, "It's alright."
Shang Lin didn't press the matter, since everyone has their own beliefs, and asked, "Where's the painting?"
She Jinxing immediately took out the painting, but did not give it to Shang Lin. "This painting is too full of resentment, evil spirit, and malevolence. It would be best for the sect leader not to touch it."
Shang Lin would not be foolish enough to court death. He would only do what he was capable of, and besides, his goal was to solve problems, not create them, especially not problems that would create danger for himself, or even problems that would endanger his life.
So Shang Lin nodded immediately, but then looked at it seriously, "Do you know what's going on?"
She Jinxing naturally didn't know that when he found the painting, he only felt that the painting was strange, but he didn't see Ji Xiaoyao, so he guessed that he might be in the painting. In order to solve the problem as quickly and safely as possible, he used a little bit of sunlight.
To be honest, Ji Xiaoyao didn't want to talk about what he saw in the painting. It was like reopening a wound that had just healed, and even if it wasn't his own injury, it was easy to make connections.
But he couldn't avoid the topic, because the problem always had to be solved; otherwise, how would he deal with the painting? So Ji Xiaoyao could only mention the key points.
Although Shang Lin and She Jinxing were more purely bystanders than Ji Xiaoyao, they couldn't help but sigh after hearing it. Shang Lin even exclaimed, "Indeed, some people are forced into becoming monsters."
Regardless of his mood, the painting had been retrieved and needed to be dealt with, but the campus wasn't a suitable place to do so, so Shang Lin had no choice but to temporarily seal it away and place it in the Dragon Spirit Tower.
She Jinxing returned to the Dragon Spirit Tower, while Ji Xiaoyao remained outside. Seeing his insistence, Shang Lin said, "It's not safe for you to stay outside like this. Why don't you come with me?"
After saying that, a talisman paper bag appeared in his hand. "When I took you into the tower before, Qiu Niang and Huang Ying were also inside. I was worried that you would hurt them, so I used this to put them in my possession. Are you willing now?"
Ji Xiaoyao glanced at Shang Lin, then at the things in his hands, and said, "The sect leader knows quite a lot."
Shang Lin smiled slightly and said frankly, "Then you don't know me. I've studied alchemy, weapon crafting, magic arrays, talisman drawing, demon and beast taming, and so on. Otherwise, I wouldn't be known as a genius in the cultivation world. So, are you willing to follow me wholeheartedly?"
Ji Xiaoyao was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to say, "Sect Master..."
Although Ji Xiaoyao had felt that Shang Lin was extraordinary since they first met, he never expected that he would actually be from another world. So what's going on with him now?
