Chapter 153 - Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Conversation (2/2)
Li Tangyu pondered for a moment and then said:
“I remember that the offering priests of Yuebaolou are required to submit ten superior elixir medicines, right?”
“Yes…” Lin Jing nodded.
Li Tangyu looked at Lin Jing and continued to ask:
“Now your submission task is the same as the other offering priests, you must also need to submit ten superior elixir medicines, right?”
Lin Jing nodded his head:
“Brother Li guessed it right, indeed…”
“I also need to submit ten superior elixir medicines every month to be considered qualified.” Hearing this, Li Tangyu frowned.
Then, he said to Huang Qingling:
“Those fifty elixir medicines should still be easy.”
“But these ten second-rank superior elixir medicines, I’m afraid they won’t be easy for Brother Lin!”
“What should we do?” Huang Qingling frowned and asked.
Li Tangyu did not answer Huang Qingling but turned his head to look at Lin Jing with a serious expression:
“Brother Lin, if you need help, just speak up.”
“Yeah…” Huang Qingling’s eyes lit up as she said.
“If Lin Jing’s alchemy isn’t enough, Tan Yuyi can help make a few superior elixir medicines…”
Lin Jing clasped his fists and said:
“Thank you, Brother Li. I want to try on my own, after all, this is also my personal training. If I really can’t cope and need Brother Li’s assistance, I won’t hesitate to trouble Brother Li then.”
“Hmm…’
Li Tangyu spoke:
“Indeed, actually, it’s in situations like these that one’s alchemy skills improve the fastest.”
“This was the case for me before. In order to practice alchemy, I locked myself in the alchemy room for half a year. It was with this dedication that I was able to advance to a third-rank alchemist.”
“Yes, I can testify to that. During that time, I even delivered alchemy ingredients to her.”
Li Qingqing came over and hastily said.
At that moment…
Huang Qingling seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at everyone, and asked:
“Do you think Steward Zheng is settling personal vendettas under the guise of official business?”
“Personal vendettas under the guise of official business? What does that mean?”
Li Qingqing asked in confusion.
“Steward Zheng only just arrived in Nanshan Market, right? He didn’t know Lin
Jing before, so where does the idea he’s settling personal vendettas come
from?”
Huang Qingling then began explaining:
“You don’t know, when Steward Zheng first came, he actually visited the Liu Clan immediately.”
“He must be on good terms with the old ancestor of the Liu Clan.”
“And due to my relationship, that Liu Yiyuan must definitely harbor dislike for Lin Jing.”
“So the old ancestor of the Liu Clan, for the sake of his grandson, might have asked Steward Zheng to throw obstacles in Lin Jing’s way and expel him from Yuebaolou, then seize this courtyard.” “That way, he would have no way to continue living in the Inner Fang Market.”
“Come to think of it, you might be right…”
Li Qingqing’s eyes brightened, and she said:
“That Liu Yiyuan has been pursuing you for so long. Now, Brother Lin Jing lives so close to you, so that’s why he’s unsettled.” Huang Qingling nodded and said:
“I think so too…”
“Last time, he saw the two of us holding hands. It was after that time that he didn’t show up again…”
“It’s likely because of that incident he became jealous, and that’s why he’s doing this.”
Li Qingqing was stunned at first, then quickly seized the key information and turned to the two:
“The two of you were holding hands?”
Then, with her gossip spirit ignited, she leaned in towards Huang Qingling and said:
“Come on…”
“Spill the beans, what happened?”
“Could it be that the two of you actually have something going on?” Huang Qingling immediately gave her an annoyed look:
“What are you thinking about…”
Then, she began to explain.
As the other party involved, Lin Jing could only shake his head and smile wryly under Li Tangyu’s strange gaze..
