Not long after entering the Mortal World, Chen Miao saw Zhu Sheng approaching together with Xu Jin.
The moment they met, Chen Miao discovered, to his surprise, that Zhu Sheng now harbored a trace of malice toward him!
Although that malice was faint, Chen Miao was still baffled.
Even Xu Jin bore him no malice now, so why did Zhu Sheng?
Soon, however, Chen Miao learned the reason.
And that reason left him rather speechless.
Zhu Sheng was acting this way simply because Xu Jin had beaten him to the punch and told Zhu Sheng about the "opportunities"!
Perhaps Xu Jin had merely wanted to do him an easy favor, but Zhu Sheng clearly minded being the last to learn about them.
All Chen Miao could say was that dealing with people was far too difficult.
"Chen Bai, have you found any other opportunities?"
Xu Jin asked as soon as he arrived.
There was a little warmth in his manner, while Zhu Sheng remained silent.
It was the complete opposite of how things had been before.
Chen Miao paid it no mind and smiled. "Not yet. I was too tired after turning the mill last night, so I went straight to sleep. What about you, Young Master Xu?"
Remembering how he had collapsed from exhaustion the previous night, Xu Jin sounded a little embarrassed.
"Same here. That thing really does wear you out."
Not wanting to revisit last night, Xu Jin changed the subject. "Then shall we spend today looking for opportunities?"
Chen Miao shook his head.
"You can't find them during the day. Only at night."
Chen Miao told them about the paper offerings "going to work."
Hearing this, Xu Jin clapped his hands. "I noticed that before, too, but I never realized that was where the opportunities were!"
