Chapter 90

Everything was over, and it was already close to noon.

After bidding farewell to the little girl and her family and declining their invitation to visit their home, Song Shuhang boarded the subway returning to Jiangnan University Town.

Neither party exchanged contact information, after all, they were just passing acquaintances. If they were destined to meet again, it would happen; if not, there was no need to worry about it.

Actually, the man in the white shirt wanted Song Shuhang's contact information, but he was too embarrassed to ask...

There were not many passengers on the return subway, and Shuhang was lucky enough to get a seat. Then, he placed a large shopping bag next to him—inside was the black briefcase he had obtained from the坛主 (Tan Zhu, the Sect Master).

After getting off the accident subway, he immediately found a shopping bag to wrap the black briefcase. After all, the black briefcase had dubious origins, and it was better to conceal it.

The subway slowly started, and Song Shuhang's tense heart finally relaxed a bit.

He leaned back in the subway seat, recalling the scene of killing the Sect Master, over and over again, to help calm himself down.

He exhaled a deep breath, opened his phone, and logged into the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

There were no new messages in the group for the moment.

The last message was from last night, when he and Senior Beihé, Soft Feather, discussed the 'Claw Mark Beast Leader'.

After some thought, Song Shuhang typed in the group: "@Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Lord, Senior, I have successfully found the mastermind behind the Claw Mark Beast Leader, the Sect Master, and the enemy leader has been eliminated. I used two 'Evil-Dispelling Talismans' and three 'Sword Talismans' in total. As for the remaining scattered members of the Claw Mark Beast Leader, I do not plan to continue tracking them for now."

"Also, Senior, I will send the remaining talismans back to you."

As soon as he typed it, the Nine Provinces Number One Group responded.

Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Lord: "Little friend Shuhang, you are as quick as a rabbit, and your efficiency is unmatched. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Also, there's no need to send the talismans back to me. Consider them a small gift from me. Besides... even if you wanted to send them back to me now, I wouldn't be able to receive them."

"I am currently on a small island in the Pacific, teaching a group of primitive people how to read and write. Damn, why did I make a vow to 'teach without discrimination and guide ten thousand people to literacy' back then? How much must my balls have hurt to make such a vow! And nowadays, with the promotion of compulsory education, it's hard to find someone who can't read. I finally found an isolated island with nearly ten thousand primitive people, all of whom are illiterate."

"By teaching them to read, I can complete my past vow. But this could take a few months or even a few years. What a dogshit vow! If I ever become a supreme being and can reverse time, I will definitely go back and give my past self a dozen slaps for making such a rash vow!"

Song Shuhang had only asked a question, but Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Lord had already rambled on and on. From his tone, one could tell how much resentment he had for his younger self.

It seems that everyone has a past they'd rather not recall.

Song Shuhang sighed.

Also... Senior Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Lord is very busy. Yesterday, he was still in the Huaxi region, and now he's on a small island in the Pacific?

"Thank you, Senior. Your talismans are really simple and effective, with great power!" He gave a small compliment, hoping it would make the senior happy.

"Ha ha ha, of course. When it comes to talismans, I am the best in the group. I have to go back to teaching the primitives to read now. These guys are so stupid. They can forget the words I just taught them, making me want to beat them up... Hey, that's a good idea. I'll beat up the ones who forget the words, and see which little bastard dares to forget them!" Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Lord seemed to be a senior who could easily be led off-topic.

He seemed to think that beating up the primitives was a great idea and quickly logged off.

"..." Song Shuhang touched his heart, feeling a bit uneasy for some reason. He imagined a group of primitives wearing animal skin skirts, sitting on stones, pitifully reciting: "The hoe and the sun at noon, sweat dripping onto the soil, who knows the hardship of the grains in the plate, every grain is hard-earned..."

Suddenly, one of the primitives forgot the words, and then he was hung on a big tree by Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Lord, who whipped him with a whip.

"This can't be my fault, I didn't guide the senior to beat up the primitives who forgot the words," Song Shuhang muttered.

Ding ding ding.

Someone in the Nine Provinces Number One Group sent a message.

Sure enough, it was Beihé the Wanderer, who slowly popped up: "Little friend Shuhang, you always manage to surprise me. I heard that the enemy leader you killed was a Second Stage cultivator?"

"It's not that impressive. Although the enemy was a Second Stage cultivator, he was first poisoned by Senior Medicine Master, then Soft Feather misunderstood my identity, and with the support of Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Lord's talismans, I had the opportunity to kill him." Song Shuhang briefly explained the course of events.

"Bold and meticulous. Your success in killing the enemy leader was not by chance. Keep it up, and I believe you will go far on the path of cultivation," Beihé the Wanderer said.

Mad Saber Sanlang logged in: "Little Shuhang did a great job, already showing the style of my younger days!"

"Sanlang, didn't you say you were going to close yourself off to advance in cultivation?" Beihé the Wanderer sent a mischievous smile.

"I am, I am," Mad Saber Sanlang said. "But even in seclusion, one must balance work and rest. It's not good to be in a dead seclusion. Seclusion without interaction is no good!"

"Talking nonsense," Beihé the Wanderer laughed and scolded.

At this moment, Drunken Moon Scholar suddenly said: "Sanlang, you seem very serious today. Without a senior present, you don't even crack dirty jokes? That's not like you."

"Don't mention it. Recently, there are divine beasts roaming the internet, and dirty jokes are not allowed. True Lord Yellow Mountain also said that if I crack dirty jokes, he will kick me out of the group. I'm suffering a lot. Next time we meet, I'll give you some classic ones live," Mad Saber Sanlang chuckled.

"Ha ha," Drunken Moon Scholar sent a shy smile and quietly went underwater.

Song Shuhang scratched his head—Drunk Moon Scholar's ID seemed familiar, but why couldn't he remember him?

At this moment, Beihé the Wanderer suddenly asked: "By the way, little friend Shuhang, are you planning to learn how to drive recently?"

"Yes, I have been studying the theory of driving for a while and plan to take the driving test soon. Eh? How did you know I was learning to drive, Senior?" Song Shuhang asked.

"Hehe, when I was stealing vegetables from your game farm, I also looked at your personal space. You recorded in your space that you plan to learn how to drive soon," Beihé the Wanderer said proudly. "Also, if you have time, upgrade the land in your vegetable garden. What's the point of hoarding so many gold coins? Upgrading the land will make growing vegetables faster, and I can steal more."

Steal vegetables?!

Senior, how can you have so much free time to play vegetable-stealing games?

And to even snoop through my personal space?

Image, please maintain your image! Since meeting these seniors, my image of cultivators has been shattered. If possible, please preserve a bit of the grand and noble image for me to remember.

Getting off track... but why did the senior ask if I was learning to drive?

Song Shuhang tentatively asked: "Senior Beihé, are you also planning to learn how to drive?"

"What do I need that for? Flying on a sword is much faster than driving a car. I just need to be careful not to hit any airplanes," Beihé the Wanderer laughed. "But... I have a piece of information for you. If you have time recently, go and learn how to drive as soon as possible. I guarantee you will get many benefits."

Song Shuhang's eyes lit up—could it be that one of the seniors in the group suddenly wants to learn how to drive and wants me to learn first and then teach them?

The benefits are obvious—Nine Provinces Exchange Group's rule: effort → reward!

"Did you guess it? When the time comes, you can even get Blood Qi Pills! Not just pills, but even cultivation techniques! The technique Medicine Master gave you is just a basic foundation technique, which can only take you to the peak of the First Stage. So I strongly recommend this opportunity to you, as it will definitely get you a good follow-up technique!" Beihé the Wanderer added a toothy grin: "Excited, right?"

Song Shuhang, excited!
