You State, Xuanmiao City

Lin Jiang originally wanted to brush Wei Lin off with a casual remark, but this guy really had the audacity to ask. It truly shocked Lin Jiang.

This forced Lin Jiang to reevaluate Wei Lin. This guy’s intelligence was definitely normal; he couldn’t achieve Soul Changing if he was an idiot.

"Stop."

Lin Jiang glanced at Small Shadiao, who was thinking about sneaking away, and immediately shouted.

"Um, you guys can continue."

"Come over here."

"What are you doing, what are you doing, I didn’t do anything."

Small Shadiao got anxious, what’s the matter, do they want to bully him again.

"Wei Lin, Senior Wei, tell me, what’s going on?"

"Nothing much, just thinking about my wife and child, you know, our Taixu Sect is really struggling now, and my father only wants revenge and to restore Taixu Sect. I have to find a way myself."

"So you’re Soul Changing, if you open your mouth, you can have as many wives as you want. As for calling me father, if my father finds out, he’ll kill me."

"Just kidding, we’re so familiar with each other, you shouldn’t take this joke so seriously."

"I can’t afford it. Your father will really kill me."

Lin Jiang shook his head. This is truly a filial son. Wei Dao must be wanting to kill him with a sword.

"My father doesn’t know either."

"Come on, what’s the matter? Don’t play games."

"There’s really nothing important, just bored. If you don’t believe me, ask my older brother."

"Wait, older brother, are you talking about Small Shadiao?"

"Yes, didn’t you know? I’ve become sworn brothers with Diaoxiong. He’s my older brother now."

"Can you tell me what you’re thinking?"

Lin Jiang suddenly fell silent. He was now sure that this guy was an idiot. He used to pretend, but now he doesn’t anymore.

"Won’t tell you"

Wei Lin laughed loudly and said that he won’t tell, it will make you mad, anyway being the little brother won’t be a disadvantage.

Lin Jiang was completely impressed by his Sixth Brother, so he let him play on his own. Lin Jiang grabbed Small Shadiao and went into the room, saying, "If Wei Lin doesn’t tell the truth, I can’t do anything to him. But if you don’t tell the truth, I will punish you today. Do you believe me?"

"No, no, no, I’ll tell."

"Hurry, tell."

"Before returning to North State, Wei Lin and I made a bet. I won, so we became sworn brothers. I am the big brother and he is the little brother."

"What was the bet?"

"Zhongmiao Building, who could stay there longer."

"·····"

Lin Jiang almost fainted, the scene was too scary to imagine.

"Don’t be angry, I’m actually thinking of you, I want to find a little brother for you, really."

"I see you don’t want any fur on you, believe it or not, I will strip all your fur off."

"Really, I really think so. The head of the family has said it. The fortunes of the four major sects have been drained, and now the most valuable thing is themselves. I will help you recruit him as a little brother, and then he will be our own people."

"You damn well lower your voice."

Lin Jiang wished he could cover his mouth. Can this matter be discussed?

Speaking of which, Lin Batian is really cunning. He tricked the remaining horses of the four major sects and helped him count the money. The secret techniques and martial arts that they inherited have long been emptied by Lin Batian, and he went to Yun State to exchange things. Now he has set his sights on their people. He really wants to take everything from them.

"Father, I truly have you in my heart."

"Less nonsense, my affairs don’t need your concern. Besides, Wei Lin is Soul Changing, I can’t suppress him. Now he is eating and drinking on my expense. If we really turn against each other, he will easily crush me to death. Don’t go provoke him."

In the end, Lin Jiang shook his head. He couldn’t provoke Wei Lin, who was very powerful. Lin Jiang was only a beginner, so he couldn’t win against him. It would be like an ant trying to swallow an elephant, which would be foolish.

"They’re already sworn brothers. Even the money for going to Zhongmiao Building was paid by me. I used all my salary."

"There’s no need to mention it again. Get lost."

Lin Jiang waved his hand and told Small Shadiao to go away. He deserved it. With his simple thoughts, he was still trying to play tricks with others. It was like a dog chasing its tail, going in circles without getting anywhere.

·······

"What are you doing dawdling at the entrance? Come inside."

Lin Jiang looked up and said to Small Shadiao outside the door. He just came back from North State and immediately went into seclusion. Being a white glove is a dangerous job, and Lin Jiang can’t rely on Small Shadiao all the time. So he’s also improving his own cultivation.

However, Lin Jiang can’t stay in seclusion for a long time in Xuanmiao City. It’s usually about a month. He has to come out of seclusion to deal with some matters. This time, when Lin Jiang came out of seclusion, he discovered some problems.

"Dad, I brought you tea."

Small Shadiao had a big smile on his face, and he magically produced a bowl of tea.

"You’re not going to spit out water, are you, kid?"

"How is that possible? Am I that kind of person?"

"You can drink the tea yourself."

"Cough, cough, I’m not thirsty."

"Did you really spit out water?"

"No, no, I just don’t want to drink it."

"Okay, let’s talk about something else. How do you explain the Snow Demon incident? Why did you increase the price without permission?"

Lin Jiang nodded. Xiao Lingyue asked him to sell the Snow Demon, and after finding out the price in Xuanmiao City, Lin Jiang put it up for sale in the shop. But when he went through customs, he realized that the Snow Demon hadn’t sold. Upon investigation, he discovered that Small Shadiao had increased the price tenfold. It’s no wonder it didn’t sell.

"Dad, um, um…"

"You have ten breaths to organize your words. If you can’t explain clearly, then don’t say anything, I’ll sell you together."

"Dad, Snow Demon is mine now. Can you please not sell her?"

"Wait, can you say that again?"

"Snow Demon is mine now, can you please not sell her?"

"·····"

Lin Jiang was immediately silenced, then he extended his hand to ask Small Shadiao to come closer.

"You terrible thing, you terrible thing…"

Lin Jiang pressed Small Shadiao to the ground and rubbed him for a while, almost making Lin Jiang so angry that he would spit up blood. It’s only been a month, and you already caused trouble for someone?

"Dad, please calm down and take a rest before hitting again?"

Small Shadiao is tough and not afraid of being beaten at all, so he shamelessly said to Lin Jiang.

"What’s going on? Explain clearly."

"Just like that, we hit it off."

"What do you mean by ‘hit it off’?"

"Dad, you’re not around most of the time, so I take care of Snow Demon’s food and drinks. Over time, we developed a bond."

"I think you’re just attracted by her appearance. I checked and found that as soon as I meditated, you changed the price."

"No, no, definitely not."

"You have to understand that Snow Demon is not mine. If I keep her, I have to use my own money to cover the expenses."

"Dad, can I use my salary to make up for it? I won’t eat the Beast Spirit Pill anymore, okay?"

"How much is your salary? How long will it take for you to balance the accounts?"

"Include my little brother’s salary too."

"Little brother?"

"Oh, Wei Lin."

"Hehe."

Lin Jiang sneered. Does Wei Lin know about this? Aren’t you afraid he’ll beat you up? You can’t fight back.

"Really, I’ve talked to him about it, and he agreed. Wei Lin, Wei Lin, come in quickly."

Small Shadiao immediately said, and then Wei Lin walked in from outside.

"Master, Lin Cong brother is right, take my money, it’s not bad to let Lin Cong brother marry a beautiful lady."

"Wei Lin, have you thought about it? The Snow Demon in the shop’s price is five million spirit stones. We don’t have to pay taxes or anything because we are insiders. Let’s consider it as five million spirit stones. Your salary is half a million spirit stones per year, it’s impossible to deduct it all. Let’s deduct half and spread it over ten years. During these ten years, you won’t even be able to ensure your basic practice."

Lin Jiang said that the salary he gave to Lin Kai is very low. Five hundred thousand spirit stones cannot even hire a Nascent Soul outside. But there’s no way, he is just like that. The cooperation between the four major sects and the Lin family cannot be measured simply by spirit stones.

"It’s okay, ten years is just ten years. After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of spirit stones."

"Small Shadiao, your salary is too low, it needs to be deducted for thirty years. And with the previous amount you owe me, well, you won’t be able to pay it off in your lifetime."

"It doesn’t matter, I am the master’s person in life and the master’s ghost in death."

Small Shadiao waved his big hand, he already understood. When encountering a master like this, when will he be able to repay the debt? So, it’s okay to owe more debts.

"You can leave now, I don’t want to see you."

Lin Jiang waved his hand and the two of them walked away with their arms around each other, they seemed very happy.

After a while, Lin Jiang sighed and couldn’t help but stand up to check on Snow Demon. Snow Demon was not bound, but had restrictions inside its body. It couldn’t run away. When it saw Lin Jiang, it was very scared and avoided eye contact, too afraid to look at him.

Lin Jiang asked a few questions, but didn’t get any useful information. He didn’t bother and in the evening, Small Shadiao even arranged a simple wedding feast, leaving Lin Jiang speechless.

"Master, give Snow Demon a name to show support for my big brother. Give him some face, please."

"Let’s call her Snow Woman from now on."

Lin Jiang casually said. He was not good at naming things, as long as it didn’t sound unpleasant, it would be fine.

"Snow Woman, sounds great. Master is truly talented."

"Flattery won’t work on me, you poor guy."

Lin Jiang shook his head. Flattery would still cost him money, but Wei Lin didn’t mind and just laughed.

Small Shadiao was thrilled. Lin Jiang suddenly realized that even his beast pet managed to find a mate, while he remained single. It was so unfair.
