Chapter 338: Chapter 40: The Youth Suspected to be a Lin Family Orphan
“`
Hearing the young man’s words, the two men both burst out laughing.
“Pfft…”
“Hahaha…”
“Where’s the proof? Since you claim to be from the Lin Family, then show some evidence, such as your family’s Alchemy Dao heritage.”
“Or perhaps, the treasure vaults left by your family.”
“If all else fails, even refining a batch of Pure Elixirs would do…”
“You…”
After the two had finished speaking, the young man became so angry that his face turned red, and his fists were tightly clenched, but there was nothing he could do about them.
Seeing the youth like this, one of the men spoke up directly:
“Enough, stop giving him a hard time…”
“Looking at him like this, how could he possibly be a descendant of the Lin Family.”
“You must realize, the Lin Family is an ancient medicinal family with a long inheritance. Even in decline, their descendants wouldn’t end up in such a state.”
The other middle-aged cultivator nodded in agreement and replied:
“Brother Li is right, indeed.”
Having said that, the two men bypassed the young man and approached the stall, picking up two bottles of Elixir Medicine each from the few available and putting them away.
The young man’s eyes were almost spitting fire as he glared at the two men, his fists still clenched, but he took no further action and just stood there.
It was at this moment that the dark-skinned young man who had led Lin Jing stepped forward.
This youth stepped up, showing no fear of the two middle-aged cultivators.
Even though the dark-skinned young man was only at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, while the two middle-aged cultivators were at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
“How can you two do this, aren’t you afraid of the management of Fang Market?”
After speaking, he turned his head again to the fair-skinned young man and said:
“And you, how can you let them bully you so easily, I really…”
The dark-skinned youth looked at the fair-skinned young man with a frustrated expression as if lamenting that he was not living up to expectations.
However, even upon hearing about Fang Market management, the two cultivators remained unafraid and retorted:
“He owes us Spirit Stones, and by not taking all his Elixir Medicines, we’ve already been quite polite.”
“Right now, we’re just reclaiming a bit of interest.”
“But you can’t take it every day…” the dark-skinned young man objected.
The two middle-aged cultivators didn’t get angry but turned to the dark-skinned young man and said:
“As long as he pays back the Spirit Stones he owes us, we won’t take his Elixir Medicines anymore.”
“You should know, it’s not just one or two Spirit Stones, but dozens of them. With these Spirit Stones, we could do a lot.”
“Now, our Spirit Stones were borrowed by his grandfather, who died before paying them back.”
“If not him, who else should we look for?”
“Maybe you? Will you repay them on his behalf?”
At this, the fair-skinned young man stood up.
“There’s no need for him to do that, I’ll repay it myself.”
It must be said that the fair-skinned young man was quite stubborn.
The two middle-aged cultivators laughed as if they had heard a great joke:
“Hahaha…”
“Do you have Spirit Stones?”
“If you can really pay them back, then I’ll return all the Elixir Medicines we’ve taken from you during this period.”
It was then that the dark-skinned young man also spoke up:
“Don’t worry, he will pay back the Spirit Stones to you very soon.”
“Just wait and return those Spirit Stones.”
The two middle-aged cultivators looked at each other and then smiled disdainfully.
Afterward, one of them said teasingly:
“Oh…”
“Quite confident, are we? Well then, we’ll just wait.”
“Brother Li, let’s go,” and with that, the two men left.
Once the two men had gone, the dark-skinned young man turned to look at the fair-skinned young man with a mix of frustration and concern.
“You really are stubborn…”
Afterward, the dark-skinned young man came up to Lin Jing and said:
“Senior, this is the person you were looking for. What happens next is up to you and him to discuss.”
“However, this individual tends to be obstinate, and it’s quite possible that he won’t comply with your wishes. When the time comes, I hope the Senior won’t blame him.”
Lin Jing nodded and said, “I am not one to do such petty things.”
After this exchange, the dark-skinned young man approached the fair-skinned young man and whispered a few words into his ear.
The fair-skinned young man first looked at Lin Jing, then frowned deeply and glared at the dark-skinned young man, seemingly upset about him bringing Lin Jing over.
Then,
he turned around and began to pack up his stall.
At this point, the dark-skinned young man came back and said to Lin Jing:
“Senior, I’ve already spoken to him.”
“My task is complete, so I will take my leave now.”
Lin Jing nodded.
Then the dark-skinned young man departed.
Now, only Lin Jing and the fair-skinned young man were left.
Lin Jing stepped forward and before he could speak, the fair-skinned young man turned around, bowed to Lin Jing, and then said:
“Senior, I apologize…”
“I know you want the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, but it’s of great importance to me and I cannot sell it to you.”
