However, different people see the same thing differently. For example, at this moment, Shang Lin sees a mess, while Ji Xiaoyao sees food, lots and lots of food, which makes him, a person who has no sense of hunger, feel hungry.
Even the aloof General Ji couldn't help but ask Shang Lin, "May I eat them?"
Shang Lin paused as she walked towards the elevator, instinctively glancing at Ji Xiaoyao. "Are you hungry?"
Ji Xiaoyao awkwardly avoided Shang Lin's gaze, "It's alright."
"Can't Shang Lin understand this?" he said apologetically. "My fault, my fault. I completely forgot that your food is different from ours."
"No, no," Ji Xiaoyao hurriedly denied. "I've been inside Old Man Chai's body for the past year, so naturally I can only eat human food. It's just that I suddenly felt a little craving it now that I've seen it."
As Shang Lin pressed the elevator button, he said, "I'll ask Situ Pojun in a bit."
The two went straight upstairs, only to find that Situ Pojun was not in his office. Shang Lin looked around and saw the messy desk and the computer that was on, so he was sure that he hadn't gone far.
Sure enough, Situ Pojun returned shortly afterward, his suit jacket looking a bit wrinkled. Shang Lin was puzzled; had he gone to catch the murderer while wearing a suit?
As Situ Pojun walked towards Shang Lin, he said, "You've come, the person you mentioned..."
As he moved, Situ Pojun saw Ji Xiaoyao. He paused for a moment, then looked at Shang Lin and asked, "Who exactly are you? Why are there so many strange people around you? This ghost cultivator's aura is so strong."
Ji Xiaoyao wanted to greet him with clasped hands, but seeing Situ Pojun dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he held back and simply said, "Hello, Mr. Situ."
Situ Pojun extended his right hand to Ji Xiaoyao, saying, "You're too kind. May I ask your name?"
Ji Xiaoyao readily extended his right hand, "Ji Xiaoyao."
Situ Pojun then searched for Ji Xiaoyao on the computer, and the results were much clearer than those for Shang Lin: he became famous at a young age, died for his country in his youth, his wife died for love, his family fell into ruin, he later became a ghost cultivator, and then disappeared without a trace.
Having learned from the previous two experiences, Situ Pojun directly asked Ji Xiaoyao this time, "What conditions do you want to join our office? You can name any conditions except for my position."
Shang Lin was stunned. What a guy! The conditions he offered were far beyond the old-fashioned five social insurances and one housing fund. But thinking about it, it made sense. Compared to She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi, Ji Xiaoyao was the most suitable person for the office job.
However, Ji Xiaoyao said, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to agree, it's just that I need to stay with my wife."
Now it was Situ Pojun's turn to be surprised. "You still have a wife?! Didn't your wife commit suicide for love? You found her?"
Ji Xiaoyao nodded, "Yes, I've been searching for her for hundreds of years. Now that I've found her, all I want to do is stay with her."
Situ Pojun, "..."
He especially wanted to say, "As a man, you can't get caught up in romance, otherwise how can your marriage last?"
But when he thought that Ji Xiaoyao was a ghost cultivator, he didn't need to earn money to support his family like an ordinary human man, and his wife must be human, so he could just stay by her side.
Sigh, another talented person has been lost. It's such a pity.
However, since everyone is here, we should make the best use of their talents. So Situ Pojun said, "Then you can start working now. There's a troublesome ghost out there. Go and take a look."
Ji Xiaoyao subconsciously looked at Shang Lin, "Are you sure you can go back alone?"
"Of course." Is he a child? Besides, Ji Xiaoyao isn't here, but there's still Hu Tangdi and She Jinxing.
Ji Xiaoyao then looked at Situ Pojun and asked, "What am I supposed to do? Eat him?"
Situ Pojun was taken aback. "You can eat that?"
Ji Xiaoyao nodded, and Situ Pojun immediately laughed and said, "Alright, let's go down and give those who don't cooperate a hard time."
Seeing Situ Pojun's hurried manner, Shang Lin figured he must have encountered a troublesome ghost. He wanted to go and see what was going on, but Ji Xiaoyao refused, saying, "Go home and do your homework."
Shang Lin, "..."
Are they all treating him like a regular high school student? Okay, he does homework during the day and can take a medicinal bath at night, otherwise he won't have enough time to sleep, so, "I'll go home first."
Given that Shang Lin has been quite poor lately, he has stopped refining pills, but he can still take a medicinal bath, he just hasn't had the time before.
On his way home, Shang Lin unexpectedly ran into Fan Mingyu. He looked dejected, completely lacking his previous arrogant demeanor. He squatted by the roadside like an abandoned dog, his eyes not filled with clear stupidity, but with bewilderment and helplessness.
Shang Lin's heart skipped a beat. Fan Mingyu's life trajectory of ups and downs had begun, but he didn't know where he was now. He didn't go forward, but instead took out his phone to send a message to She Jinxing.
Sect Leader: Come out invisible.
She Jinxing: Yes, Sect Master.
The air around them stirred, and Shang Lin said in a low voice, "Go with Fan Mingyu and find out about his recent situation."
She Jinxing followed Shang Lin's gaze and said, "Isn't that the classmate who caused you trouble before?"
“Yes.” Shang Lin kept looking at Fan Mingyu as he spoke. “His appearance has changed. I will take this opportunity to recruit him into my fold.”
She Jinxing looked at Shang Lin with great confusion, "Sect Master wants to take on disciples, but why would you take on someone who caused you trouble before? Aren't you worried that he'll confront you head-on?"
Shang Lin smiled, "Go head-on? He'd need to have the confidence and ability to back it up."
She Jinxing still didn't understand, "Then isn't the sect leader worried that he'll have the confidence and ability to confront you head-on in the future?"
Shang Lin said with great confidence, "By then, he will be an invincible sword in my Yuntai Sect."
"Is the sect leader so certain?" Humans are the most complex beings, sometimes even more so than demon cultivators.
Shang Lin didn't explain, only saying, "You go with him, I'm going home."
Although She Jinxing didn't understand where Shang Lin's certainty came from, he would naturally complete the tasks assigned by the sect leader conscientiously.
When Shang Lin got home, he saw Xing Tian doing his homework. As soon as he saw him, he leaned back in his chair and began to complain, "I never thought that after all these years, high school students' studies would still be so heavy."
Shang Lin laughed and said, "Didn't you see someone online saying that high school students are the most amazing?"
Xing Tian, "..."
Who said this? Has he fallen behind the times? He doesn't even know what's going on online anymore? That doesn't make sense; the sect leader doesn't have time to go online. How does he know? Is he trying to fool me?
Shang Lin didn't say anything more, but sat down next to Xing Tian and started doing her homework. For ordinary people, time is truly squeezed out! Not a single moment can be wasted.
