Chapter 298: Please Clear Your Search History
A week later.
Lately, the world seems to have suddenly become exceptionally peaceful.
Whether it’s the Holy Kingdom, Floating Splendor Commerce, or even Sang Zhe’s own home, everything is peaceful and serene. Even the Demon Cultivators are rarely bothered by those two feuding sects that used to be a thorn in their side.
It’s as if everyone has decided to play nice for a while and slowly attend to their own business.
And I must say, the speed at which the Demon Cultivators are developing is quite exaggerated.
With loans from Floating Splendor Commerce, the Demon Cultivators have kicked off another large-scale recruitment plan, bringing in a large batch of new employees, each one a poor soul who passed through layers of Sang Zhe’s selection filter.
The reputation of the Demon Cultivators is growing in the entire cultivation world. Even sects on the fringes of the continent have heard about the recent reshuffling of forces in the cultivation realm.
The cultivation world today is no longer a stagnant deadlock dominated by the three major holy lands.
The Demon Cultivators have apparently earned the recognition of the world, becoming one of the officially acknowledged holy sites.
Since Tang Yubbing returned from her home, she’s been almost entirely occupied with company matters.
Due to the swift growth of the company, each project requires her stamp of approval. Sometimes she even returns home looking pitiful, hoping that Hua Jianglian, the bona fide sect leader, will share the workload.
However, Hua Jianglian has maxed out her escape skills; the moment Tang Yubbing tries to find her, she can just vanish into thin air.
In the end, all the work ends up piling up on Yan Rouwan, Meng Qiyan, and even Sang Zhe.
And Sang Zhe remains the most pitiful one. After returning home from a long business trip, he barely has time to rest and enjoy himself before Tang Yubbing drags him back to work. He’s clocking in early at eight and out late at ten, and when he finally gets home, he has to face more tasks.
Especially since Tang Yubbing moved in, Sang Zhe feels like the Original Immortal can’t keep up with his consumption rate; he’s been feeling mentally hazy every day.
…Am I running a harem at home, or just a juice bar?
Besides that, there’s another thing.
Gongzi Shuiming, for some unknown reason, has been hanging out with the Demon Cultivators for half a month, with no intention of returning to Floating Splendor Commerce.
Sang Zhe knows that her duty is to liaise with the Demon Cultivators on behalf of the commerce. After all, she has shareholder status, and he can’t say much about it.
But Sang Zhe truly doesn’t understand—if you’re genuinely concerned about the company’s development, you could just go to the company every day to oversee things.
Why does she keep running to my house?
Especially since she lives next door. Every morning during her stroll, she passes by, and in the afternoon while grocery shopping, she’s constantly in sight. She even drops by to mooch food or have tea on her free days.
This keeps Sang Zhe on high alert.
This woman must have some ulterior motive for sticking around!
On the bright side, living so close makes it quite convenient for Sang Zhe when he actually needs to talk to her about serious matters.
“Here.”
One evening, as Sang Zhe just returned home, he saw this woman once again appearing in his house, handing him a special tablet.
“I’ve activated the permissions for your tablet. Now, you can freely access all of the communication device data from the students at the Holy Kingdom’s various master’s residences.”
“If you need to add new devices later, just input the device number directly into the tablet.”
“So convenient!” Sang Zhe took the tablet and fiddled with it, asking, “Aren’t you afraid this info gets leaked and ruins your commerce’s product reputation?”
“That’s why we need Young Master Sang to strictly keep it a secret.” Gongzi Shuiming said helplessly, rubbing her forehead, “If it were anyone else, we wouldn’t fulfill such a request.”
“Only you, Young Master Sang, do we trust enough to grant this permission.”
“Though I’m not sure what Young Master Sang is planning for the Holy Kingdom,” Shuiming blinked, “the guild leader said he wishes you success and hopes you can get back at the Holy Kingdom for us.”
…I think he’d be happy if we both took each other down!
Sang Zhe rolled his eyes and began exploring the tablet.
During this time, thanks to Cao Ni Zha’s passionate preaching and the students at the master’s residences being so impressionable, ‘Original Immortal’ has spread like wildfire in Cao Ni Zha’s class.
Currently, out of the fifteen people in his class, eight are now ‘Original Immortal’ players.
Thanks to them, Sang Zhe is currently delightedly looking through all the data of these eight people on his tablet.
“Cao Ni Zha… this guy is obsessed; out of a whole twelve hours, he’s only spending four on eating and sleeping, the rest is all ‘Original Immortal’! Someone like him should probably start over his life, right?”
“Xiang Zimo… also ridiculous, playing for five hours a day. Hey, what a show-off! Why does his chat log have nothing but cringy show-off dialogues?”
“What’s with this guy’s fascination with crossdressing? A fan of fake girls, huh?”
“Wow, this search history is filled with adult content, all yellow trash in his head… wait, he’s a girl?!”
…
I have to say, just using the data from these communication devices, Sang Zhe probably knows more about these kids than their own parents do.
Each of their preferences, personalities, twisted XP, and freaky hobbies are all laid bare before him, with nowhere to hide.
Now, Sang Zhe thinks he kinda understands Nian Nian’s joy.
Especially since he has this data, Sang Zhe doesn’t even need to worry about getting close to the master’s residence.
“When do you plan to set off, Young Master Sang?”
“No rush.” Sang Zhe stretched lazily, “Cao Ni Zha’s preaching hasn’t spread far yet; I’ll wait until there are more people before I decide.”
“Perfect timing for me to take a break and relax.”
Suddenly, Sang Zhe remembered something and asked, “As long as there’s a device number, can we access anyone’s communication device data?”
“Well, that is indeed the case…”
Gongzi Shuiming suddenly looked anxious: “Young Master Sang, what are you planning? Don’t use this permission for any bad things!”
“Relax, why would I do something like that?”
Sang Zhe said lazily: “I just want to see if this function works. Just share a device number for me to try.”
“Or let’s use this tablet’s device number. Let’s see, the device number is…”
Seeing Sang Zhe enter the tablet’s device number, Gongzi Shuiming suddenly felt something was off.
Wait a minute.
This tablet is a second-hand device she used before.
If he checks the historical data…
Before she realized it, she was already horrified, eyes wide, scrambling to grab it: “Wait—”
But it was too late.
Sang Zhe stared at the tablet, looking at the deleted history, momentarily frozen and bewildered.

“How to Act Like Brothers with Someone You Like Without Them Finding Out”
“How to Be More Manly”
