Chapter 673: The Surprise Given by Old Drunkard
If Li Qinchuan had shown fear after hearing this, Lin Zhangqing would not have let him continue going out!
But now, on the contrary, seeing him in a state of wanting to give it a try, he understood that he must want to perform in front of him.
But, precisely because of this confident state, Lin Zhangqing dared to let him continue going out.
Because if that person really made a move when the time came.
With Li Qinchuan's current state of mind, plus the four Second-Tier Mid-Stage Purple Crystal Scorpions, as long as he performed steadily, he would definitely be able to turn around and deal with that person.
So Lin Zhangqing decided to let Li Qinchuan continue going out to the trading plaza to set up a stall and earn spirit stones.
Besides, he was prepared, so he definitely wouldn't be easily taken advantage of, and there was no such thing as "guarding against a thief for a thousand days."
He was doing this now, also with the intention of "luring the snake out of the hole"; if that poisonous snake never moved, it would be a very troublesome thing instead.
However, it would be best to capture the person who made the move alive; when the time came, handing him over to the Law Enforcement Pavilion might even lead to some interesting things.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhangqing told Li Qinchuan his thoughts.
He also agreed very readily and promised to try his best to leave one alive.
Then the two of them discussed some ways to deal with emergencies, and Li Qinchuan took his leave to go back and rest.
The next day was also calm and peaceful, and nothing happened.
But with Lin Zhangqing's reminder yesterday, Li Qinchuan had already seen the person tailing him! And he even intentionally or unintentionally used the Water Shadow Pearl on his body to leave evidence! The third day was the day Lin Zhangqing and the others had chosen for their small gathering.
So on this day, Li Qinchuan didn't go out, but stayed behind to help his mother.
Among all the guests, the ones who came earliest and most actively were the five Song brothers!
Next were Ye Qianzhong and Zhao Chuanhai, who came together, while Guo Shuiqing came alone at the end.
Every time they came, they were warmly welcomed by Lin Zhangqing and the three members of the Li family, and every one of them had prepared gifts of considerable value.
Lin Zhangqing let Li Xiangting collect them all, but they had to keep a record; in the future, if they had things, Lin Zhangqing and the other would also need to return the gifts.
The location for entertaining the guests was placed in the back garden, where the environment was beautiful and there was a pavilion, just right for a small gathering of friends.
Lin Zhangqing very formally introduced Li Xiangting to everyone as his Dao companion, which counted as asking everyone to witness it.
Afterward, he took out everything he had prepared, including the few bottles of good wine he had specially kept from his last mission, and took them all out.
This was exactly to Ye Qianzhong's taste; after all, he was also a person who liked wine very much, and yesterday Lin Zhangqing had almost been drunk by him.
This gathering lasted from morning until evening, and it wasn't until the sky was about to turn dark that all the guests were sent away.
At this time, Lin Zhangqing and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief; for them, it counted as completing a major event!
After the guests left, including Li Qinchuan who had been sent away by his mother, only Murong Qingyan, Li Xiangting, and Lin Zhangqing were left in his courtyard.
Lin Zhangqing and the other both knew that Murong Qingyan had something to say to them, so they were both waiting patiently.
Finally, Murong Qingyan directly said: "Changqing, you should know that Ting'er has an Extreme Yin Body, right? What are your plans now?"
Lin Zhangqing nodded directly and said: "Aunt Yan, I know about Xiangting's matter! And I've already thought it through; I plan not to consummate the marriage with Xiangting for a short time, and save her Primordial Yin Qi to help me break through to the Golden Core in the future!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Murong Qingyan heard this, her brows immediately furrowed, and she said with a very firm tone: "That won't do, I don't agree with you doing that!"
Lin Zhangqing hadn't expected his mother-in-law's reaction to be so intense, so he couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Yan, why don't you agree?"
Murong Qingyan looked at the two of them and said: "First, you are only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage now.
You haven't even reached the Purple Mansion stage, yet you are already considering the Golden Core matter; don't you think you are thinking a bit too far ahead? Second, have you thought about how much time this will take?
This will take at least one or two hundred years, right? It might even be more; do you think Ting'er can wait until that time?"
"Third, even if she really can wait until that time.
But do you think that by then, there won't be other cultivators with higher cultivation bases who will have designs on Ting'er? So my meaning is, you can wait for a period of time, but it's best to use it to help you break through to the Purple Mansion; what do you think?"
Lin Zhangqing heard this, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Aunt Yan, to tell you the truth, I am basically ten-tenths sure about breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage.
There will absolutely be no problems, so if I really use Xiangting's Primordial Yin Qi for this, it can be said to be a huge waste!
And just these past few days, after I gather enough sect contribution points, I will go and exchange for a high-grade cultivation method suitable for Xiangting's treasure body!
That way, her cultivation growth in the future will be very fast! By then, breaking through to Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, and even the Golden Core stage will not be too big of a problem! So you can completely stop worrying! As for the last question, I think as long as Xiangting doesn't leave the Tianshui Sect casually, there shouldn't be too big of a problem."
Murong Qingyan shook her head after hearing this, clearly not agreeing with what Lin Zhangqing said.
And at this time, Li Xiangting, who was beside them, suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Qing, Mother, you don't need to worry anymore!
Actually, this problem was solved for us by Grandmaster Ran Ming a long time ago!"
Murong Qingyan and Lin Zhangqing were very surprised to hear her say this; could this kind of problem still be solved? So Murong Qingyan hurriedly asked: "Ting'er, no selling suspense, tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Lin Zhangqing also asked: "Could it be the jade slip that Old Drunkard gave us back then?"
Lin Zhangqing was so excited that he directly said the three words "Old Drunkard"!
It made Li Xiangting glare at him, then she said: "Brother Qing, I don't allow you to talk about Grandmaster Ran Ming like that.
Moreover, he didn't just help our family, he even came forward to matchmake the two of us.
So you can't talk about him like that; it shows too little respect for him!"
