Chapter 442: He Set His Sights on the Nine Gates Commander's Treasures

Ah, my disciple is about to forget me.

The Nine Gates Commander sat on the bed, admiring the pair of noodle cabinets on the bed while muttering to himself, when Xiaozao walked in.

Grandpa, are you talking about my fifth older brother?

He wouldn't dare forget you.

The Nine Gates Commander shook his head: "No."

Xiaozao asked: "Who is that?"

Nine Gates Commander: "Your fifth older brother's senior apprentice brother."

Xiaozao: "My fifth older brother's senior apprentice brother? Victory Elder Brother?"

The Nine Gates Commander let out another long sigh: "Yeah, you've been here for a while."

You haven't seen him yet, right?

Back then he went to Gangdao and returned in the late 1980s.

I know he's busy; for the nation's defense cause, he's always been busy, but... sigh.

These past years, the days he's come to see me can be counted on one's fingers.

You've been here so long, and he still hasn't come to see me.

But I heard he came home recently.

Xiaozao: "I heard from my fifth older brother that he especially admires Victory Elder Brother."

He also told me many past stories about Victory Elder Brother, and I've always been longing for them.

It's a pity that I still haven't met him in person.

Grandpa, could you tell me about him?

The Nine Gates Commander, with a proud and coy expression, said: "If we start talking about him, there's plenty to say."

Saying this, he couldn't help but lightly sniff his nose.

Then.

He instantly became energized.

Just then he stood up, about to walk out, when Lin Shengli entered carrying a box of wine in one hand.

His other hand held a bag of things, and he also carried a bottle of wine whose cap had been opened.

Obviously, the Nine Gates Commander had just smelled the aroma of wine.

He immediately went over, snatched it, and took a sip.

Mm, still this flavor.

Then he couldn't stop.

He took several sips in a row.

Xiaozao stared at Lin Shengli, somewhat dazed—so handsome!

You brat, you finally showed up.

The Nine Gates Commander drank half the bottle, smacked his lips, then looked at Lin Shengli: "That wine you gave me, I've long since finished it."

Lin Shengli: "I guessed you'd already finished it."

So, before I got this wine, I didn't dare come see you.

This is also one of the reasons Lin Shengli rarely visits the Nine Gates Commander.

Of course, the main reason is that he's really busy now.

And the Nine Gates Commander had long since moved to the eastern suburbs of Sijiucheng, which is a bit far from that area full of siheyuan and his home.

Over these years, the system hasn't produced any 【original-flavor sorghum liquor】.

The stockpile has been drunk dry by the Nine Gates Commander.

A few days ago, after completing a mission, the system rewarded ten boxes.

Today, he first brought over one box.

Master, I'm really too busy.

But now it's better.

Many of my disciples can now stand on their own.

It's thanks to their efforts that I now have a bit more vacation.

From now on, I'll be able to visit you often and be filial.

The Nine Gates Commander happily said: "That's great, this is what you said."

Lin Shengli nodded, handing the items in his hand to Xiaozao: "Xiaozao, this is Quanjude roast duck; get plates and wine glasses—I'll have two drinks with my master."

Xiaozao hesitated, let out an 'eh', took it, and asked:

Are you Victory Elder Brother?

Lin Shengli laughed: "Yes, Xiaozao, thank you for taking care of my master."

Xiaozao: "Victory Elder Brother, you're too polite."

After Xiaozao left, Lin Shengli quickly set his sights on the two noodle cabinets on the bed.

Tsk tsk, Master, you still have these good things.

At that moment, the Nine Gates Commander came to his senses, hurried over, and blocked Lin Shengli.

Your eyes are still as sharp—this can't be given to you.

Master's good things are about to be taken by you.

That's actually true.

Over the years, the Nine Gates Commander's treasured collectibles have almost all been taken by Lin Shengli.

Of course.

It's also a case of one willing to hit and one willing to be hit.

There's nothing we can do.

The Nine Gates Commander dotes on Lin Shengli too much.

Lin Shengli laughed, "Master, I won't take it, I just want to look— is that okay?"

Nine Gates Commander: "Not even looking is allowed."

"If you want to look, look from afar; you can't touch it— the moment you lay hands on it, my treasure will be gone again."

That's also the truth.

Anything Lin Shengli touches, he ends up taking.

Just then.

Han Chunming walked in.
