Chapter 302: A Headache-Inducing Gift

It made her mother and aunt think she had suffered some great grievance outside, and they both glared at him, meaning to blame him for not protecting his younger sister well.

Lin Zhangqing was speechless and hurriedly explained the cause and effect of the matter, otherwise, he would have been glared to death by his mother and aunt.

Fortunately, after a while, his grandfather and father returned one after another. After the whole family finished the spirit meal, Lin Zhangqing shared this experience with everyone.

The beginning was quite ordinary, nothing special. When they heard about encountering two groups of rogue cultivators on the return journey, everyone was a little surprised, but once they thought of Lin Zhangqing's combat power, everyone felt relieved.

Finally, when they heard Lin Zhangqing forcing his younger sister Lin Changling to deal with that rogue cultivator according to his requirements, everyone condemned and criticized Lin Zhangqing one after another.

However, in fact, everyone felt in their hearts that Lin Zhangqing did the right thing. Criticizing and condemning Lin Zhangqing was just to put on a show to comfort Lin Changling.

Lin Zhangqing, of course, knew what was going on, so he was happy to cooperate with his family and hurriedly apologized to his younger sister sincerely, just to coax his younger sister to be happy.

Sure enough, seeing the whole family standing on her side, Lin Changling felt comfortable in her heart, and a smile finally returned to her face. She reluctantly accepted Lin Zhangqing's apology.

In fact, she also knew her brother was not wrong. The reason everyone condemned and criticized Lin Zhangqing was just because the family loved her and her brother let her have her way. Now she felt very satisfied and very happy!

Once in a good mood, she returned to her former self and, as if presenting a treasure, took out the jade jewelry and those flower essences she had specially bought in the market and gave them to her mother and aunt as gifts.

After receiving the gifts, her mother and aunt were very happy. After all, this was the first gift Lin Changling had given them since she was born, and most importantly, it was very much to their liking.

After tasting this sweetness, the two sisters-in-law looked at each other and cooperated with great tacit understanding, both looking at Lin Zhangqing intentionally or unintentionally.

It made Lin Zhangqing have a bit of a headache. This time in the market, he only bought two pieces of Purple Smoke Ink Ammonium. It was very appropriate to give this thing to his mother as a gift.

However, this time he really didn't encounter anything suitable for his aunt. If he took out a gift for his mother now, and his aunt didn't have one, she would definitely be very sad.

However, after some urgent thinking just now, he finally found something that could be a gift for his aunt.

This thing was the third-rank Clear Sound Bamboo that Great-Grandmother gave him at that time, which was a reward given to him at that time. This kind of third-rank spirit bamboo would sprout a new shoot every five hundred years or so.

Last time, Lin Zhangqing had already seen a newborn Clear Sound Bamboo that was a palm high growing out of the ground when he was inspecting the inner space.

Taking this newborn third-rank Clear Sound Bamboo out and giving it to his aunt as a gift was the most appropriate!

She would definitely like it, and his aunt was a second-rank Spirit Plant Master who could slowly cultivate this third-rank spirit bamboo. When she advanced to the Purple Mansion, she could just use it to refine a magic treasure.

After thinking it through, Lin Zhangqing felt relaxed and said to his mother and aunt: "I have also prepared gifts for you. Mother's can be taken out now, but Aunt's gift has to wait until tomorrow morning at the Baicao Garden before I can show it to Aunt."

After saying this, Lin Zhangqing took out the two pieces of Purple Smoke Ink sticks he had prepared for his mother and handed them to his mother.

After his mother took them in her hand and looked at them, she immediately recognized these two things.

She said happily: "These are two pieces of Purple Smoke Ink sticks, right! They can replace many kinds of demon blood and cinnabar. You found such rare things. Qing'er has a heart. Mother likes this gift you sent very much."

After saying this, she picked up the two ink sticks and tapped them lightly against each other, immediately emitting two crisp "ding, ding" sounds.

Lin Zhangqing felt that the sound was very much like the sound of metal and stone hitting each other, but he knew that this thing should not be a metal or stone material.

At this time, his mother continued: "Not bad, not bad, the sound is so crisp.

It should be considered a superior Purple Smoke Ink stick! It's best for drawing Earth Escape talismans and Wood Escape talismans, the effect of this kind of spirit talisman is the best!"

After saying this, she also proudly looked at her sister-in-law.

This look of hers carried a little bit of showing off, which only Lin Maoting could understand.

Seeing her sister-in-law receive such a suitable gift and actually showing off to her, while Lin Zhangqing said her gift had to wait until tomorrow morning, made her feel that maybe Little Qing'er had forgotten her gift and was preparing to find a way to make up for it tonight.

If that was really the case, she decided to let this little guy know what a sister-in-law who had watched him grow up since childhood looked like when she was angry. She had even thought of several ways to deal with him in her heart.

It just so happened that Lin Zhangqing was beside her, so she raised her hand to hug Lin Zhangqing's neck, pulled him to her side, and then pinched his cheek.

She asked with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Little Qing'er, tell me honestly, did you forget my gift? Pushing it to tomorrow morning, are you trying to find a way to make up for it tonight, right?"

Seeing Lin Zhangqing being bullied by his aunt, everyone in the family laughed, especially Lin Changling, who was even more happy and proud.

As for the others in the family, they had seen such things many times. Only with noise and trouble was there a family atmosphere, so his grandfather and the others were happy to watch the show there.

Lin Zhangqing didn't want to be bullied like this, but who told his aunt to often take care of the two siblings since they were young? Basically, when his mother was practicing or making talismans, it was his aunt who took care of their eating, drinking, and excreting, which was equivalent to another mother, so Lin Zhangqing really respected and loved his aunt very much.

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly said: "No, no, the gift was prepared early in the morning. It's a spirit bamboo. You will see it tomorrow. You will definitely like it then!

There is absolutely no such thing as forgetting to prepare a gift for you!"

Hearing Lin Zhangqing even say the type of gift, she thought it was not something made up on the spur of the moment, so Lin Maoting decided to believe him once.

So she let go of the hand that pinched his cheek, but still hugged his neck and said with a smile: "Little Qing'er, look at your mysterious appearance, but we still have to agree first!

Tomorrow's gift, if it is not as suitable as your mother's, or if I don't like it, then you still have to accept punishment!"

Lin Zhangqing said confidently: "It won't be. Aunt, you will definitely like it when you see it. Maybe you will even reward me when you are happy tomorrow!"

Hearing Lin Zhangqing's confident words, Lin Maoting was also very curious and very much looking forward to that gift tomorrow morning! Everyone chatted together for more than an hour, all about the Pingyang market. When the time was about right,

everyone went back to practice. After all, the spirit meal they just ate still needed to be refined.

When his grandfather was about to leave, he specifically instructed Lin Zhangqing to remember to go to the Clan Leader tomorrow to let him know they had returned safely.

After Lin Zhangqing agreed, his grandfather went home with peace of mind.

Lin Zhangqing returned to his room, checked it slightly, set up the Small Five Elements Mystery Array, then activated the array, and entered the inner space.

As soon as he came in, he could clearly feel that the inner space had become much larger. The most significant thing was that the height of the inner space had become higher again.

He specifically flew a circle in the inner space with his sword and made a rough estimate. It should have become about one-half larger. For the specific details, he still had to find a time to measure it.

However, coming in this time was not to pay attention to this, but to prepare to get that newborn Clear Sound Bamboo down and give it to his aunt as a gift tomorrow.

Lin Zhangqing landed with his sword just at the planting site of the Clear Sound Bamboo, and all the Three-Colored Deer surrounded him.

Lin Zhangqing could only feed them Spirit Nurturing Pills first, and then stroked and smoothed their fur, dealing with them, which counted as completing the usual interaction.

After they left to play by themselves, Zhao Liyu had been waiting there for a while. She came over to report to Lin Zhangqing about the inner space becoming larger during this period.

However, she happened to be caught by him to do heavy labor. Lin Zhangqing let her help measure the approximate area of the inner space when she was free.

Now the inner space was more than ten thousand mu, so letting himself measure it once was a waste of his time. It was just right to order Zhao Liyu to do it.

Subsequently, he took out the tools of a Spirit Plant Master and carefully broke the newly sprouted Clear Sound Bamboo from the root of the old Clear Sound Bamboo.

He tried his best to retain enough root system for the new Clear Sound Bamboo, so that it would be easier to transplant successfully, and it would be easier for his aunt to take care of.
