Chapter 282: Calling Friends and Summoning Companions

Lin Zhangqing understood what the Clan Leader meant and also earnestly promised: "Clan Leader, please rest assured. I can be considered to have roamed outside for a period of time.

And with Second-Grade Spirit Scorpions in hand, looking after a few brothers and sisters is not a problem. I guarantee that I will bring back exactly as many people as I take out!"

The Clan Leader nodded: "Alright then! I agree, you may go! Just remember to come back on time."

Lin Zhangqing thanked the Clan Leader with a grin, then took his leave and departed.

He prepared to go straight home to tell his sister this good news.

After returning to his own courtyard, he searched around but couldn't find his sister. He asked his mother and only then learned that she had gone to find Lin Changlian to play.

Lin Zhangqing was very familiar with the homes of his little companions; he had often gone there to play when he was young, so he went straight to Lin Changlian's house to find them.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at her house, he didn't find the two of them either. He asked Fifth Grandfather, who said his sister had been there, but only stayed for a while before going out with Lin Changlian.

Hearing that they had gone out again, Lin Zhangqing just thought about it for a moment and roughly guessed where they had gone.

He flew straight to Aoyun Peak on his sword. Halfway there, First One and Second One flew over, flying and weaving back and forth around Lin Changqing, looking like they wanted to play with him.

However, Lin Zhangqing had already seen the people in the courtyard. Four or five people were gathered together; it was Lin Changjie, Lin Zhang Yuan, and the others. He estimated that Lin Changlian must have summoned them.

Since he had already seen them in the courtyard, Lin Changqing wasn't in a hurry. He decided to accompany First One and Second One to play for a while. Just like before, he flew around Aoyun Peak, chasing Second One with all his might.

However, no matter what, he couldn't catch up. Lin Zhangqing knew that even if Chuer's speed was a bit slower, it wasn't something he could catch up to. After all, in terms of flying, the Golden Winged Birds were much more specialized than him. So, not catching up, he didn't mind; he just considered it practicing sword flight.

After playing in the air with First One and Second One for a good while and satisfying his craving for flying, he pressed down his sword light and landed in the courtyard.

"Ninth Brother, it seems you, this Spirit Plant Master, are the most comfortable. Besides cultivation, you plant fields, drink tea, read books, and tease birds! Your life is relaxed and carefree, we are really envious of you!" Fifth Brother Lin Changjie joked.

"That's right! Ninth Brother, among so many of us brothers and sisters, you are really the most comfortable. If I had known, I would have become a Spirit Plant Master too!" Sixth Brother Lin Zhang Yuan sighed.

Hearing their words, Lin Zhangqing laughed: "Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, stop joking. You also have Wood Spirit Roots. If you want to become Spirit Plant Masters, it's not too late!"

Fifth Brother shook his head: "I am studying alchemy and cannot give up halfway. Otherwise, it would be strange if my dad didn't beat me to death! Sixth Brother is practicing a Wood Attribute cultivation method, he could consider Ninth Brother's suggestion!"

Sixth Brother also shook his head: "I can't either. My personality is not suitable for being a Spirit Plant Master; I can't calm down!"

"Don't talk about those irrelevant things there. The most important question hasn't been asked yet! Ninth Brother! You just went to find the Clan Leader, right? Did the old man agree to let us go to the market to play for a few days?" Lin Changlian hurriedly asked.

His younger sister Lin Changling also asked with a face full of expectation: "Brother! How did it go? Did the Clan Leader agree to let me go out to play?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said with a smile: "Of course he agreed! With me personally taking action, it was a piece of cake. I persuaded the Clan Leader in just a few words.

Not just you, including you guys, I've already talked to the Clan Leader. Whoever wants to go can go. We'll set off early the day after tomorrow and come back after playing for three days!

But the Clan Leader requires me to look after the brothers and sisters who go together. So, when everyone goes to the market, if you want to go out and do anything, you must have at least two or three people together. Of course, if you can act together, that would be even better!"

As soon as Lin Zhangqing's voice fell, everyone cheered, especially his younger sister Lin Changling, who was so happy that she jumped directly onto Lin Zhangqing, hugging his neck and cheering! After everyone finished cheering and venting, and their emotions stabilized a bit, Lin Zhangqing said: "Looking at how happy and excited everyone is.

It seems everyone is going. Then it's settled, we'll gather at the Family Square early the day after tomorrow!"

"Such a rare opportunity, we definitely have to go! Since the last time we went together, we haven't been out again. In between, there was the beast tide, and then the sudden tense situation, with the family preparing for war!" Tenth Brother Lin Changhao sighed.

The others were in similar situations and expressed one after another that there was no problem, and they would gather at the Family Square on time.

Then everyone sat together and discussed going to the market. As the host, Lin Zhangqing brewed spirit tea to treat everyone.

However, his Green Spirit Tea had already been swiped by his father, so he could only take out some ordinary spirit tea found among the spoils of war to treat everyone! Fortunately, everyone didn't mind, and they were more interested in discussing going to the Pingyang Market the day after tomorrow. Perhaps everyone hadn't been out for too long, so their spirits were quite high!

Lin Zhangqing felt this was quite good. Small gatherings with three or five good friends from time to time were also not bad, adding some fun to a plain life.

Seeing his little companions in such high spirits, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but join the discussion. In the end, they even arranged the itinerary for these three days, which showed everyone's expectations.

Time spent with little companions passes quickly. Three or four hours passed in a flash. By the time it was almost evening, everyone left Aoyun Peak together.

After returning to the Main Peak, the companions said their goodbyes and went home. Lin Zhangqing and his sister walked at the end.

Along the way, his sister was still chattering non-stop about her plans. One moment she wanted to taste this, the next she wanted to visit that. She was full of expectations!

Suddenly, Lin Zhangqing remembered something and couldn't help but laugh, so he asked: "Little Sister, you have so many ideas, are there enough spirit stones in your storage bag? You can't play without spirit stones, you'll only be able to watch from the side!"

Lin Changling had been in high spirits, but she didn't expect Lin Zhangqing to hit her with that, which almost extinguished her enthusiasm. To tell the truth, she really didn't have many spirit stones in her storage bag.

The biggest thing was a piece of Medium-Grade Fire Spirit Stone raw ore, which was specifically for her cultivation. Although she knew it could be exchanged for several thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, she wasn't stupid.

She knew that Lin Zhangqing had once been robbed and killed because of this thing, so she knew that in the market, she must never take it out even if it killed her.

However, when she looked up and saw her brother Lin Zhangqing's half-smiling expression, she instantly understood. She immediately used her "coaxing method," grabbed Lin Zhangqing's hand, and pestered him all the way.

It was only when they finally reached the entrance of their own courtyard that Lin Zhangqing finally relented and promised her, telling her to come find him after finishing the spirit meal.

Lin Changling then let go of him and happily ran into the courtyard, sharing the good news about going to the market to play with her mother and aunt.

As for Lin Zhangqing, he found a place in the courtyard to sit down and was preparing spirit stones for this little girl, Lin Changling.

After consideration, Lin Zhangqing packed 800 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones and two Medium-Grade Spirit Stones into a storage bag. Any more wouldn't be appropriate.

After all, she was only at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining now. Lin Zhangqing estimated that his little companions probably had a few hundred to a thousand spirit stones in their storage bags at most. Giving Lin Changling this much was about the same as them.

Today, everyone happened to be quite complete. After finishing the spirit meal, Lin Zhangqing saw that the timing was just right.

He said: "I'll tell everyone some good news. Today I have already obtained the Clan Leader's consent to take Changling and a few little companions to Pingyang Market to play for three days the day after tomorrow."

His mother and aunt already knew earlier, so they didn't say anything more.

His father's first reaction upon hearing it was still a bit worried, but he suddenly thought that his son was much more capable than himself, and now it should be the people who encountered him who should be worried.

So he relaxed his mindset and said with a smile: "Alright, go ahead! Remember to look after your sister, don't play for too long, and go back early!"
