“Right, there’s one more thing,”
“Old Man Bai told me to let you know, you don’t need to worry about your old feud with Liu Yiyuan. Things will remain as they are, and he will help you resolve the issue,” “Hmm, I understand,”
Lin Jing nodded.
It wasn’t until nightfall that Huang Qingling could bring herself to leave.
Of course, before leaving, she also conveniently helped herself to a meal. After Huang Qingling had left, Lin Jing continued back to his room to meditate and recover.
Meanwhile,
In the Zhang Family’s back courtyard, within an exceedingly ordinary cottage, Elder Bai and another old man were seated at a table.
On the table, in front of each of them, was a cup of tea, still emitting wisps of steam.
“Zhang Dao-friend, after so many years, you’re still as plain and simple,” Elder Bai began, glancing around the room.
The room was very ordinary and simple, even its furniture was of the most straightforward kind.
And this ordinary room was the dwelling of the Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Chenfan, as unassuming as his name suggested.
Elder Bai then directed his gaze toward the elderly man opposite him, with white flecked hair and a face full of wrinkles.
This elderly man was the host of the cottage, the Zhang Family Patriarch— Zhang Chenfan himself.
“As one grows old, one fondly clings to the past, which must be amusing to see, Elder Bai,” he replied.
The Patriarch’s voice was hoarse and carried an aged fatigue, and he seemed winded even just by speaking.
Moreover, his current appearance was like that of a withered tree, seemingly close to collapsing at any moment.
The Patriarch lifted his teacup and took a gentle sip before asking,
“What brings Elder Bai to my humble abode today?”
Without speaking, Elder Bai reached out, produced two Pure Jade Boxes, placed them on the table, and then gently pushed them toward the Patriarch.
Upon seeing the Pure Jade Boxes, the Patriarch’s eyes flickered with sharpness, the decrepitude vanished instantaneously, replaced by an oppressive aura.
“Pure Accumulation Pills!”
The Patriarch, visibly excited, picked up one of the Pure Jade Boxes and inspected it closely.
“And there are two of them.’
“Could it be that someone is planning to auction these?” The Patriarch looked up at Elder Bai seated across from him.
“Yes.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, these two Pure Accumulation Pills will appear in tomorrow’s auction,” said Elder Bai.
The Patriarch’s eyes regained their calmness as he directly addressed Elder Bai.
“If these two Elixir Medicines go up for auction tomorrow, I’d like to ask Zhang Dao-friend, will you bid or not?” inquired Elder Bai, looking straight at the Patriarch.
“If nothing unexpected happens, I probably won’t bid,” the Patriarch said, shaking his head with a wry smile.
“If I bid for them, the Lifespan Extension Pill will likely end up in someone else’s hands.”
“Surely Elder Bai knows…”
“In the Nanshan Market, how much wealth the major clans have, we all know it well.”
“What the Zhang Family can afford, they know it all too well. The moment I show interest in these two Pure Accumulation Pills, they will definitely go all in and cut off the Zhang Family’s retreat once and for all.”
As he said this, the Patriarch’s face bore a smile as he looked toward Elder Bai,
“Since Elder Bai has brought these Pure Accumulation Pills to my humble home…
“Then I think, there might be a turnaround in this matter, right?” Elder Bai picked up his teacup, unhurriedly took a sip, and then spoke,
“I can work in the middle to help manipulate the situation, so that it won’t appear in tomorrow’s auction.”
“Indeed…
The Zhang Family Patriarch said with a smile,
“But I wonder what you desire, Elder Bai? In pursuit of that Lifespan Extension
