But when Xing Tian saw the final balance, he somewhat understood why their sect leader was so eager to make money. The money was earned quickly, but spent even faster. He was even a little embarrassed to show it to Shang Lin.
But the next second, he heard Shang Lin ask him, "How much money do you have left?"
Xing Tian replied weakly, "Three million."
Shang Lin listened without any ripples, and even said, "When I see my fellow Daoists tomorrow and they settle their accounts for my pill-refining fees, we'll have another source of income. Perhaps after this auction, if they can obtain good medicinal herbs, they'll come back to me to continue refining pills."
Xing Tian immediately gave Shang Lin a thumbs up, "The sect leader is truly amazing."
This wasn't just because Shang Lin was skilled at alchemy, but also because of his composure when he heard about the remaining balance—something Xing Tian could never hope to match. Moreover, Xing Tian felt a little ashamed; their earning speed was so slow.
If Shang Lin knew what Xing Tian was thinking, he would definitely say, "When you get to my age, you'll know that remaining calm and composed is the easiest thing in the world."
Huang Ying hurriedly asked, "Can I go with the sect leader?"
Before Shang Lin could say anything, the Divine Lord suddenly said, "The situation is still unclear. It would be better for the Sect Master to show himself alone. He should only bring one servant, Little Snake. Everyone else should go about their business. Can't you see that our sect is already stretched thin? Oh, and we also need to arrange someone to protect Old Man Chai."
Shang Lin was momentarily stunned. Was the Divine Lord preparing to advance and retreat with him? How rare! He quickly cooperated and said, "This arrangement is excellent. Let's do as the Divine Lord says."
God, "..."
What does this person mean? They just agreed like that?
The next second, Shang Lin said, "I'm going home too. I need to pack my things and tell Chi Xie that tomorrow morning..."
Before Shang Lin could finish speaking, Red Scorpion appeared in front of him. "What are we doing tomorrow morning?"
"You're using magic?" Shang Lin asked helplessly. "In this day and age, invisibility spells aren't always effective. Don't be too careless, okay? I don't want Situ Pojun to come to me one day to solve a supernatural case, only to find himself in the wrong place."
Red Scorpion scoffed, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Okay, good to know. Come find me at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll go get your ID cards."
Red Scorpion's eyes lit up. "Can I get an ID card now?"
"Yes, didn't I say before that I would take care of it during my winter break?"
Red Scorpion immediately smiled happily, "Great. Then why should I come to see you tomorrow? I'll go with you now so as not to take up your time."
For some reason, Shang Lin noticed a hint of childishness in Chi Xie's smile, suggesting that a person is at their youngest when they are happy.
As soon as Chi Xie and Shang Lin left, Huang Ying couldn't help but complain, "I thought he could keep up his act in front of the sect leader for a long time, but look, he was quickly conquered by the sect leader's charm."
Xing Tian laughed and said, "How could someone who can be the leader of the number one sect in the cultivation world not have personal charisma?"
Hu Tangdi couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder if the sect leader will be able to take us to see the cultivation world in his lifetime."
Huang Li, however, said, "I think that as long as I am with the sect leader, it is fine wherever we are."
The others, "..."
She really does have a childlike mentality, but that's not wrong.
After Shang Lin returned home, he indeed began packing his luggage. Old Man Chai hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"
Shang Lin told the truth, "I went out with a few fellow Daoists."
"...Let Xiao She go with you." After saying that, Old Man Chai asked again, still worried, "Where is she from? What's her character like?"
Shang Lin smiled, "Don't worry, godfather, there are little snakes. It's just that your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so you should continue to rest."
Old Man Chai couldn't help but sigh, "My son and I really take turns. Before, you were recuperating, and now it's my turn. But this is the end for me; we won't switch anymore."
"Hehe..." Shang Lin laughed out loud, "Godfather, don't worry, we will all be healthy."
Old Man Chai asked again, "How many days will you be gone?"
Shang Lin didn't actually ask, and could only say roughly, "It'll only take three or four days."
"Then you must take good care of yourself and don't be careless."
"Um."
In fact, Shang Lin really wanted to tell Old Man Chai, "I am no longer the Shang Lin I used to be. Godfather, you don't need to pamper me like you used to raise a daughter."
However, if Old Man Chai heard this, he would definitely say, "It's precisely because you're not the Shang Lin you used to be that I gave you fewer instructions. Otherwise, how could it be resolved with just a few words?"
The next day, Shang Lin woke up early again, showing that it takes time to change one's biological clock. However, he did not continue to sleep, but got up to wash and prepare to make breakfast himself.
Unfortunately, She Jinxing beat him to it and asked, "Why is Sect Leader up so early? Weren't you supposed to go find Situ Pojun at eight o'clock?"
"Since you're awake, let's head over there soon. If you're sleepy, you can sleep on the way."
While She Jinxing was making breakfast, Old Man Chai also woke up. He knew Shang Lin was going out today, but asked, "Isn't the train at noon? Why are you up so early?"
Shang Lin said, "I need to go out to buy some things later, and my class is still going on."
Old Man Chai chuckled. "I was the same way when I was in school. I couldn't get up for class every day, thinking that I would sleep as much as I could during my break, but I couldn't fall asleep during my break."
Shang Lin said very objectively, "When you're in class, you're physically and mentally tired, so naturally you can't get up. When you're resting, you can relax more and naturally you don't need as much sleep. But going to bed early and getting up early is good."
Old Man Chai nodded in agreement, "You're right, but going out so early, you probably won't be able to buy anything besides breakfast, right?"
"I leave at seven o'clock, and it'll be about time to walk there."
However, when Shang Lin went out, he did go to the breakfast shop first, because Chi Xie hadn't had breakfast, and with Old Man Chai at home, it was inconvenient for them to enter and leave the Dragon Spirit Tower. He was somewhat in a bad mood.
Shang Lin was quite generous, buying whatever Chi Xie ate, and as much as he wanted. He even packed a portion for Situ Pojun as well, sending it to him along with pictures and text.
Situ Pojun replied instantly: OK
Shang Lin was a little curious. Wasn't their office supposed to be very busy lately? How could this person still have time to check his phone? Otherwise, how could he reply so quickly? Could it be that he, like Lan Xuan and Shang Jing, was venting his frustrations on the internal network?
Surely not. Lan Xuan and Shang Jing are one thing, they're standing up for their leader, but would Situ Pojun himself really get involved? Well, maybe it's still possible. After all, even a clay figure has some spirit, let alone a cultivator.
