Chapter 550 - Chapter 550: Chapter 227: Yan Xiong Gets Captured_2 (2/2)
“Why don’t we take this opportunity to gather and have a few drinks? After we’ve met, it won’t be too late for you, Brother Lin, to return to the Nanming Domain.”
Having finished speaking, Wei Zhengqing added with a smile,
“Lin brother’s cooking skills are unparalleled. I had a meal back then, and even after so long, I find myself often missing it.”
On hearing this, Lin Jing also smiled and nodded, saying,
“Of course, no problem.”
“We indeed haven’t seen each other for many years, and now is as good a time as any to catch up…”
As Lin Jing spoke, it seemed as if he suddenly remembered something and quickly asked Wei Zhengqing:
“By the way…”
“Where’s big bear Yan Xiong? I heard he went to find medicine for you. When will he return? We definitely can’t miss him at this reunion…”
Wei Zhengqing nodded, saying,
“Yes…”
“He left three days ago to help find medicine for me.”
“I have been able to hang on till now largely thanks to his care.”
Saying this, Wei Zhengqing thought for a moment, then continued,
“Taking today into account, he has been out for quite some time. If nothing unexpected has happened, he should be back soon.”
“Even if something has delayed him on the road, he will be back by tomorrow at the latest. Lin brother, you can have a look around Bihai City in the meantime, and wait for Yan Xiong to return…”
Lin Jing nodded in agreement, answering,
“Okay…”
“Then I’ll wait here for Yan Xiong’s return.”
“As for these two days, we can tour around together.”
…
In the following two days, Lin Jing, Little Sparrow, Wei Zhengqing and his daughter toured the whole of Bihai City.
They visited Seven Seas Hall, enjoyed a feast at Yingxian Residence, and even went to the plaza where the Cross-realm Transmission Formation was located, and watched for quite some time.
The establishment of the Cross-realm Transmission Formation made Bihai City even livelier, and naturally many people yearned for it.
Even those who couldn’t afford to use it would visit the plaza where the formation was located each day…
A hundred Superior Grade Spirit Stones per person, the cost of using the Cross-realm Transmission Formation was not cheap, but even at such a high price, there were still many who used it every day.
Because each transmission consumed a vast amount of resources.
Therefore, the formation would only activate for groups of at least ten people at a time.
Of course, there are exceptions.
Some people could use it alone.
Such as Ji Xiyue and Ji Ling.
When Lin Jing and the others arrived at the plaza, they just saw Ji Xiyue leading Ji Ling, using the formation to teleport to the Nanming Domain.
At that moment, the plaza was crowded and chaotic, and Ji Xiyue did not notice them.
However, Wei Siyue was very curious about the identities of these two people.
Lin Jue then explained their identities to Wei Siyue.
Wei Siyue had an epiphany.
When Lin Jue mentioned that Lin Jing matched Ji Xiyue in alchemy, and won against her who was touted as the number one alchemy genius of the Xingluo Elixir Sect,
Wei Siyue looked at Lin Jing with admiration in her eyes, astonished beyond measure.
Regularly dealing with Elixir Medicine, how could she not understand what that meant?
She had never expected her Uncle Lin to be so formidable.
…
These past two days, the happiest of all was undoubtedly Wei Siyue.
Ever since Wei Zhengqing was injured, Wei Siyue had grown from an oblivious little girl into someone who was quickly maturing, becoming sensible and well-behaved.
However, in the process of growing up, she also lost the joy of being a child.
Especially later on, when Wei Zhengqing’s injury worsened and he became unable to take care of her,
And Yan Xiong was busy all day earning Spirit Stones and searching for the Elixir Medicine needed for Wei Zhengqing’s treatment, the entire burden of living fell onto Wei Siyue.
Thankfully, Wei Siyue was quite understanding.
While she took care of Wei Zhengqing, she also rented a booth in the Fang Market to engage in the business of selling Elixir Medicines.
At the time, Wei Siyue was not even ten years old yet.
For a little girl under ten years of age, this was far from a simple task.
However,
Fortunately, Wei Siyue persevered and even managed to see some gains.
During these two days, they took Wei Siyue around Bihai City, visiting all the places she had wanted to go but had been afraid to visit before.
And Lin Jing even purchased some Magical Treasures at the Seven Seas Hall to give to Wei Siyue.
That made Wei Siyue quite happy for a while.
However, there was one thing that continually lingered in everyone’s minds.
That was the fact that Yan Xiong had still not returned.
Logically, after so many days, even with delays on the road, Yan Xiong ought to have returned by now.
Yet Yan Xiong had not come back, which kept Wei Zhengqing perpetually restless.
Until this day…
When the group returned, they met ‘Uncle Lian’ who had come for a visit.
‘Uncle Lian’, upon seeing them, told them the unwelcome news.
And that was…
Yan Xiong had been captured by the people of the Moon Demon Sect and was on Black Xing Island…
