Chapter 148 - Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Huang (&lgling’s Concern (2/2)
“Let’s not bring up that time again. I was so drunk that day that all I remember is saying a lot to you, but as for what exactly, I myself have forgotten…”
Li Tangyu immediately held his forehead.
“Haha, is that so…”
“My brother has always been this way, revealing his true nature whenever he gets drunk…”
“A gentleman who is usuallv so modest turns into a chatterbox…”
Li Qingqing started to laugh as well, chiming in on the side.
This interruption lightened the originally somewhat heavy atmosphere quite a bit.
“You’re really okay?”
Huang Qingling spoke up, still somewhat worried.
“Qingling Daoyou, just relax…”
“Even if I truly fail, it’s nothing more than losing my Pill Master Offering Priest status at Yuebaolou, nothing serious.”
“Even if that Zheng Steward takes away this courtyard, I can still move to live outside in Fang Market.”
“I don’t suffer any loss myself…”
Lin Jing said, looking at Huang Qingling, trying to reassure her.
Right after Lin Jing finished speaking, Huang Qingling was looking down, as if pondering something.
After a moment, she suddenly looked up at Lin Jing and said bluntly:
“If you fail the assessment, come live at my place…”
“Let’s live together for now, and we’ll see what to do when Old Man Bai and Elder Yu return.”
What Huang Qingling said was so surprising that it made Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing freeze in shock.
Lin Jing was no exception.
After a while, a “gulp” sound came, as Li Qingqing swallowed her saliva, followed by
“Hiss…”
A sound of sucking in a cold breath.
“Cough…cough…cough…’
Li Qingqing was actually choked by her own saliva.
She then stammered, unable to speak clearly:
“Cough…you…you two…living together?”
At this point, Li Tangyu also recovered and hurriedly interrupted Li Qingqing:
“Sister Qingling means, I believe…”
“It’s to let Brother Lin stay in her courtyard, not that they are actually going to live together under one roof.”
“Right, that’s what I meant…”
Huang Qingling’s face blushed as she quickly explained.
“After all, my courtyard is not small, and there are many rooms…”
After explaining, Huang Qingling looked at Li Qingqing with a speechless expression:
“Qingqing, your thoughts are too twisted…”
And Lin Jing was caught between laughter and tears.
“Rest assured, Qingling Daoyou…”
“For this assessment, I have at least a seventy percent chance of passing…”
Lin Jing didn’t make his claim overly confidently.
Only then did Huang Qingling start to doubtfully believe Lin Jing.
Early the next day…
Lin Jing took the Pill Furnace from the System Space and put it into the Storage Bag, then changed into a new set of clothes and left.
The previous day, Li Tangyu, worried that he might not pass the assessment, shared many Alchemy experiences with him until late into the night before leaving.
Because Zheng Steward had said yesterday that the assessment would take place in Yuebaolou’s Alchemy room,
Lin Jing headed straight to the Yuebaolou’s Alchemy room.
Upon entering the courtyard, Lin Jing saw two people already waiting there.
When they saw Lin Jing arrive, they greeted him.
“Lin Daoyou…”
Lin Jing responded to them as well.
Then…
The three of them waited in the courtyard square, not talking but sitting in meditation to conserve their energy.
Because the upcoming Alchemy would be very consuming, it was important for all three to ensure they were fully energized.
It wasn’t much longer before the last Offering Priest arrived.
This last Offering Priest to take the assessment was the same Pill Master with the surname Wang who had been with Yu Yan before..
