Chapter 164 - Chapter 164: Chapter 164 The Robber with the Unpleasant (2/2)
Then, Li Tangyu turned his head to look around and didn’t spot Little Sparrow, then he said:
“Where’s Little Sparrow, not here now?”
“Little Sparrow, it got scared by Qing Qing. When Qing Qing came looking to settle the score, it just hid away…”
Li Tangyu: “Alright then…”
At this point, Lin Jing looked up at the sky and realized that dusk was approaching and it was already getting late.
So he turned to the others and said:
“Let’s not talk about Little Sparrow’s issue for now.”
“It’s getting late, we should start getting ready now, or it will be dark soon.”
“Alright…!’
Next, everyone went to the kitchen. Li Tangyu and Huang Qingling took out the ingredients from the Storage Bag, and then everyone got busy.
Before long, all the ingredients were prepared, and it was Lin Jing’s moment to shine…
About an hour passed before the feast was finally ready.
Then, with the dishes served, everyone took their seats.
As soon as she sat down, Li Qingqing couldn’t wait and started to help herself to the deliciously roasted Spirit Feather Chicken.
Lin Jing even poured a cup of wine for each person.
Just as the first sip of wine went down, Li Tangyu started speaking:
“Brother Lin, I recall that the offering tasks for Yuebaolou are supposed to be submitted today, right?”
“Have you completed it?”
“Not to hide it from Brother Li, I’ve barely completed it,” said Lin Jing.
Li Tangyu continued:
“Brother Lin’s talent in the Alchemy Dao seems quite extraordinary as well. It’s only been a few months, and you can already complete the offering tasks for Yuebaolou by yourself.”
Lin Jing quickly waved his hands in modesty and said: “Brother Li overpraises me…”
“Compared to you, I still have a long way to go.”
“Brother Lin is being too modest. Actually, my current achievements are mainly due to the support of my family. Not like you, who rely solely on yourself,” Li Tangyu added.
Huang Qingling couldn’t watch this anymore and directly said:
“Alright, you two, just toast to each other and stop being so modest.” Lin Jing and Li Tangyu both felt a bit embarrassed.
Following this, Lin Jing picked up the wine jug and poured a cup for both of them.
“Cheers…”
Then, both of them drained their cups in one go.
At this moment, Huang Qingling asked Li Tangyu:
“Qing Qing mentioned earlier that a junior within your family was bullied.
What happened with that?”
Li Tangyu set down his wine cup and said:
“Actually, it’s not a big deal. A disciple from each of our families was robbed while gathering Spirit Grass on the outskirts of the Night Mist Mountain
Range.”
“The good thing is, the two of them were only robbed of some possessions and were not injured.”
Upon hearing about the robbery, Lin Jing was taken aback, and he immediately thought of Little Sparrow.
“It can’t be such a coincidence…” Lin Jing thought to himself.
Looking at Huang Qingling, her expression was similar to Lin Jing’s, and the two involuntarily exchanged glances.
Lin Jing quickly asked:
“Someone dared to rob the juniors of your two families? Which power is behind this?”
After hearing this, Li Tangyu shook his head.
“No power…”
“To be exact, neither of them saw the person who robbed them…”
“They didn’t see the robber…” Lin Jing exclaimed in surprise.
Then he couldn’t help but wonder, “Could it really have been Little Sparrow?” Li Tangyu nodded and continued:
“Yes, they said someone shouted ‘This is a robbery!’ and used a very fast Black
Artifact to attack them.”
“This person only damaged their clothes but did not harm them, using that to threaten them into handing over their valuables.”
“Seeing that the person’s cultivation was not low, they had no choice but to comply… ”
“And they also said that the robber’s voice was quite strange, somewhat…”
Li Tangyu paused for a moment, then said:
“Unpleasant….”
