Chapter 340 - Chapter 340: Chapter 42 Lin Jue Gives Spirit Grass (2/2)
“This is a matter between you two, you should ask him, not me.”
“Yes, yes…”
Both men nodded hastily and then stood up, asking Lin Jue for confirmation.
Lin Jue agreed to their request.
With Lin Jue’s calculations and the assistance of the dark-skinned youth by his side, they finally settled the value of the Elixir Medicine that the two men had taken.
It amounted to twenty Midium Grade Spirit Stones.
Lin Jing, however, remained silent, merely glancing at them.
The two men then honestly returned the twenty Midium Grade Spirit Stones to Lin Jue.
Afterward, the men looked back at Lin Jing, waiting for him to speak.
If Lin Jing did not dare to speak, they would not dare to leave under any circumstances.
“If I catch you bullying him again, you should know what the consequences will be.”
Lin Jing stared at them, while also intensifying his Divine Sense, infiltrating their consciousness.
Nevertheless, Lin Jing did not do anything else to them.
He simply planted a seed of fear in their consciousness, which, if they saw Lin Jing again, would remind them of today’s events and fill their minds with fear.
Even if they only saw Lin Jue, it would trigger their memory of today’s events and evoke fear in their hearts.
Thus preventing them from seeking revenge on Lin Jue.
After all.
This was in Bihai City, where Lin Jing could not kill without reason, as it would violate the rules established by Bihai City.
Otherwise, he would find himself in a difficult position.
Confronted with Lin Jing’s Divine Sense, both men became as silent as cicadas in winter, nearly losing their balance.
Then, Lin Jing waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
At this moment, the other onlookers also hurriedly left the area.
Soon, the crowd dispersed.
Only Lin Jing, the dark-skinned youth, and Lin Jue were left at the site.
At this moment.
Lin Jue approached and bowed deeply to Lin Jing:
“Thank you, senior, for your help.”
Lin Jing just extended his hand, and Lin Jue was lifted up by an invisible force of Spiritual Power.
“It’s nothing,” Lin Jing said.
“Since you are alright now, I will be leaving,” he added.
Having said that, Lin Jing turned around, ready to leave.
However, just then, Lin Jue called out to him.
“Senior, please wait a moment…” Lin Jue suddenly called out to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing then turned around, looking at Lin Jue.
Lin Jue first whispered a few words to the dark-skinned youth, asking him to leave ahead of time.
He then approached Lin Jing and said:
“Senior, after what happened today, I have come to a realization.”
“If I keep the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass with me, I won’t be able to protect it.”
“I have decided to give this Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass to you, senior.”
Lin Jing then inquired of Lin Jue:
“Isn’t this Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass of significant importance to you? Are you really giving it to me just like that?”
Lin Jue merely shook his head with a bitter smile:
“My grandfather has already passed away. Keeping this Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass doesn’t serve any purpose for me now…”
Lin Jing fell silent for a moment.
“Senior, please follow me,” Lin Jue said.
Following this…
Lin Jue led the way, passing through streets and heading towards an alley.
This alley was similar to the one Lin Jing had traveled through earlier.
It was not very wide, even somewhat crowded.
Following this alley to near its end, Lin Jue finally opened the gate of a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.
“Senior, please come in…”
Lin Jue stood at the doorway, gesturing for Lin Jing to enter.
Lin Jing did not hesitate and stepped inside.
The courtyard was small and only had one room.
However, everything inside the courtyard was neatly arranged.
At this moment, Lin Jue also closed the courtyard door and came inside.
“This courtyard was rented by my grandfather before,” he explained.
“If it wasn’t for the Yellow Dragon Elixir that I sold when my grandfather was critically injured, he and I might have been evicted from Bihai City due to our inability to pay the rent.”
“It’s just a pity…”
“Even selling the Yellow Dragon Elixir couldn’t save my grandfather…”
As he spoke, Lin Jue’s voice was low, his eyes clearly filled with sorrow.
Following this…
Lin Jue opened the door to the room and then invited Lin Jing inside.
Lin Jing accepted the invitation and entered the room, which, like the outside, was plain but well-kept, with everything in perfect order.
Even…
There was a faint, barely perceptible fragrance inside the room…
It was apparent that Lin Jue had been well-educated by his grandfather from an early age.
That’s why he had developed such habits.
Inside the room, Lin Jue asked Lin Jing to wait by the table for a moment while he went into the inner room.
When he returned, Lin Jue held two boxes, both covered with some dirt.
It seemed like they had just been dug out of the ground.
Lin Jue then opened one of the Spirit-Quelling Boxes.
Inside, a Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass lay intact, with its roots and stem.
“This is the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass,” Lin Jue said, pushing the Spirit-Quelling Box containing the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass towards Lin Jing.
“Now that I have offended those two, they definitely won’t let me off after you leave, senior. I might not be able to keep the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass safe.”
“It would be better to give it to you, senior.”
