Chapter 264: Chapter 248: Delivering the Pill
However, before Lin Jing could speak, Elder Master Li was already growing restless.
“Hey…!”
“Old Wang, that’s not very honorable of you…”
“Even if you wanted to poach someone, you could’ve at least been discreet. Now look at you, making your move right in front of my face.”
Elder Wang turned his head and gave Elder Master Li a sly smile:
“Heh heh…”
“I couldn’t help it when I saw such a promising youngster, I was itching to act…”
“You surely know my situation; each of my registered disciples is more stupid than the last. I’ve taught them for so long, yet not a single one has advanced to a third-grade Pill Master.”
“Just let Lin Jing follow me, and I guarantee that within ten years, he will certainly advance to a third-grade Pill Master.”
After Elder Wang finished speaking, the corner of Elder Master Li’s mouth twitched, and then he said:
“He already has a master, you’re too late.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Wang didn’t give up but instead said with a smile:
“That doesn’t matter…”
“I’m not forcing him, just letting him make his own choice.”
In response, Elder Master Li could only glare at Elder Wang before falling silent.
“Kid, have you considered my offer?”
Lin Jing hesitated for a moment and then, bowing, replied to Elder Wang:
“Thank you for your generous offer, Elder Wang, but I’ve already grown accustomed to life down the mountain and have no wish to leave it for now.”
Lin Jing’s words were very tactful.
However.
That was enough, and Elder Wang would surely understand his meaning.
After Lin Jing had spoken, Elder Wang shook his head and sighed:
“Alas!”
“Indeed, one must not insist upon what fate does not grant…”
After that, he didn’t bring up the matter again.
Then, Elder Wang asked Lin Jing about the conflict between him and Liu Yiyuan in the Spirit Cleansing Grounds.
Many had witnessed the event, so there was no room for falsehood, and Lin Jing narrated the incident at the Spirit Cleansing Grounds to Elder Wang truthfully.
Elder Wang nodded after listening.
Afterward, he asked Lin Jing about what happened after he was transported out.
Lin Jing was well-prepared for this, so he didn’t show any gaps in his story.
After the questioning, Elder Wang let Lin Jing go away.
Lin Jing bid farewell to the two of them, then left the courtyard.
“Lin Daoyou…”
Just as he stepped out of the courtyard, someone called out to him.
Lin Jing then turned his head towards the direction of the sound.
He saw that the person calling him was the Qingyuan Sword Sect disciple who had led him here.
Surprised to see this person here, Lin Jing still walked over.
“May I know why you’ve stopped me, Daoyou?”
Lin Jing approached him and asked.
The man gave a fist and palm salute, then spoke to Lin Jing:
“Lin Daoyou, I’ve been entrusted by Han Jing, Senior Han, to wait for you here, wishing to invite you over for a chat.”
Upon hearing it was Senior Han, Lin Jing immediately let down his guard.
Since his return, he hadn’t seen Senior Han yet, and now the timing was perfect.
