Chapter 858: Finally Can't Hide It Anymore

Lin Shi Yi is actually well‑meaning.

That little girl loves candy too much.

If this continues, it will affect her mouth.

She was already a good‑looking girl as she grew up; it would be a waste if bad teeth lowered her appearance.

"Bad brother, I won't eat candy anymore!"

The little girl threw the candy forcefully onto the ground and ran away.

Although the little girl called him "bad brother", Lin Shi Yi was quite pleased.

Perhaps he saved a future beauty!

"Lin Shi Yi, truly worthy of a steel straight‑man; at this rate you won't find a girlfriend."

A gentle voice sounded nearby.

Lin Shi Yi stopped, turned his head, and looked.

A very beautiful woman walked over.

"Little Witch Auntie!"

Lin Shi Yi called out respectfully.

The woman was indeed Jing Wu.

"Don't call me that carelessly; I have nothing to do with your father."

Jing Wu slightly furrowed her brows and said.

Lin Shi Yi replied calmly: "Sooner or later, so I'll call you Auntie a bit earlier. Little Witch Auntie, you seem to have a few days of freedom again; do you have business with me?"

"Yes!"

Jing Wu nodded and said: "I wish to take on a disciple, to test you and see if you're suitable. Of course, you must be willing as well."

Lin Shi Yi shook his head outright, "I'm certainly unwilling; you should go find Lin Baobao and the others!"

"I can make you stronger!"

Jing Wu said.

Lin Shi Yi said: "No need! I'm satisfied with the abilities I have now; one must know contentment."

"What a pity!"

Seeing Lin Shi Yi's refusal, Jing Wu sighed, turned, and left.

Watching Jing Wu's graceful figure recede, Lin Shi Yi frowned and muttered, "What's going on?"

After walking a distance, Jing Wu turned back and glanced at Lin Shi Yi.

She really can't bear to let go!

Unfortunately Lin Shi Yi didn't agree, so she dared not force anything on him.

Lin Shi Yi's mother, Qi Yao, is a terrifying woman; you can't afford to provoke her.

What does Jing Wu intend this time?

Of course she's looking for a child to take as a disciple.

Ordinary children are of no interest to her.

The most outstanding children in the world are, of course, the Lin Family's youngsters.

In Jing Wu's eyes, Lin Shi Yi is undoubtedly the best.

There are ten more children…

Jing Wu first eliminated Song Jiaren.

Because, in Jing Wu's view, Song Jiaren is not Lin Feng's biological daughter.

Although Lin Feng treats her as his own, there is no blood relation.

And the Witch Tribe's inheritance also demands blood ties.

The next to be excluded is Lin Jingru.

Jing Wu thinks Lin Jingru is too cunning; she'll trap her father and even her master later.

As for Lin Chang'e, she is Sister Witch's daughter; Lin Chang'e has already received her sister's inheritance, so she needs no further teaching.

More importantly, Lin Chang'e is also unsuitable.

All Lin Family children, except Song Jiaren, have returned to Yanjing.

Soon, Jing Wu appeared before Lin Qingxia and Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue is Guo Yanru's daughter, and Lin Qingxia is Guo Yanqiu's daughter.

Even though they don't share the same father, they are very close.

When Jing Wu found the two youngsters, they were in Guo Yanru's villa room… counting money!

It wasn't ordinary cash, but Gold Tickets issued by NB Bank.

Gold Tickets correspond to gold of equal quality.

Thus, the value of Gold Tickets fluctuates with gold prices.

After the Enhancer matter went public, gold prices rose instead of falling.

Whether it's the various Guo Jias or individuals, everyone thinks the future world will be chaotic.

In chaotic times, gold is the most stable store of value!

Seeing Jing Wu appear suddenly before them, Lin Qingyue and Lin Qingxia were stunned.

They had finally waited for their mother to go out before taking out the hidden Gold Tickets to count them.

They didn't expect Little Witch Auntie to show up!

Now it's trouble!

You should know that the gold tickets in their hands, when added together, have a total value exceeding five billion dollars.

As the dollar depreciates, the price of these gold tickets will keep rising; maybe it will be six billion, eight billion, or even one hundred billion!

"Huh~ I didn't expect you two to be so rich!"

Jing Wu also froze for a moment.

She of course knew what these gold tickets meant for Earth people.

I originally thought Lin Feng was wealthy, but I didn't expect him to be even richer than I imagined!

Even his two daughters have saved several billion dollars in pocket money.

So, just how much money does Lin Feng actually have?

"Little Witch Auntie, how did you suddenly come?"

Lin Qingxia was the first to react, smiling as she asked.

Jing Wu smiled and said: "I want to take one of you as my disciple and teach you a powerful skill; whoever is willing can treat this money in your hands as tuition!"

As soon as her words fell, a gust of wind sounded in the room.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Qingxia and Lin Qingyue disappeared.

The box containing the gold tickets also disappeared along with them.

The two scattered gold tickets floated in the air, carried by the airflow.

Before they could land, Lin Qingyue appeared, gave Jing Wu a grin, snatched the two gold tickets in midair, and once again jumped out the window to escape.

Jing Wu widened her eyes, came to her senses, and let out a helpless sigh.

She thought that what she wanted to teach could not be measured in money.

How can these two smart children not understand?

Just as she was about to leave, Lin Qingyue and Lin Qingxia appeared again.

This time they came empty-handed, and no one knew where the box of gold tickets was hidden.

"Little Witch Auntie, we're curious—what do you want to teach your disciple?"

Lin Qingyue asked.

Jing Wu proudly said: "The civilization of the Witch Tribe!"

Lin Qingxia asked: "What use would it be for us if we learned it?"

Jing Wu said: "Of course it's useful, very useful; it can let you quickly integrate into the Witch Tribe's world and become a member of the Witch Tribe."

Beyond three light-years, a huge spaceship is sailing toward Earth.

The spaceship carries hundreds of thousands of Witch Tribe elites; ten years later, if Earthlings are defeated and enslaved, what I teach you will be of great use.

"Little Witch Auntie, do you mean we will definitely fail?"

Lin Qingxia frowned and said.

Jing Wu said: "It's just preparing for a rainy day, a precaution."

Lin Qingyue shook her head: "Never mind then; I'm not interested in this."

Lin Qingxia nodded and said: "I still haven't figured out the traditional Chinese medicine my mother gave me; I'm not interested in learning Witch Tribe stuff either, sorry!"

"Goodbye, Little Witch Auntie!"

Lin Qingyue said that, grabbed Lin Qingxia, and they escaped by jumping out the window.

Jing Wu was about to threaten the two little rascals, but they had already disappeared.

By now Jing Wu had realized that there must be something wrong with the money in Lin Qingxia and Lin Qingyue's hands.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be acting like thieves.

It's a pity that the threatening words hadn't even been spoken before the two little rascals ran away.

This shows that Lin Qingyue and Lin Qingxia are also smart; they just aren't interested in Witch Tribe stuff.

For children of ordinary families, learning is a survival skill.

But the children of the Lin family don't need to worry about survival at all.

Because from birth, they carry endless money in their pockets!

Next, which children are left for me to choose from?

Bei Shuying, Bei Qingqian, Lin Baobao, Lin Donghu, and Lin Qiuxia.

The Bei family's children……

Jing Wu shook her head.

In her mind, Bei Shuying and Bei Qingqian are only slightly better off than Song Jiaren.

As for Lin Donghu… forget it!

Finally, only Lin Baobao and Lin Qiuxia remained.

In fact, without realizing it, Jing Wu had already come to consider herself a member of the Lin family.

After estimating the distance, Jing Wu first went to find Lin Qiuxia.

Lin Qiuxia is Wu Qian's daughter.

Among the eleven children, Lin Qiuxia has the lowest presence.

This child isn't very lively.

The reason, of course, is Wu Qian.

Wu Qian always feels inferior compared to Lin Feng's other women.

In terms of appearance, Wu Qian is almost at the bottom.

Moreover, she had been married before.

Wu Qian sometimes thinks that if she had met Lin Feng a year or two later, he probably wouldn't even glance at her.

Lin Feng never even thought of these.

Apart from Qi Yao and Han Xiang, the women around him, he never deliberately treated anyone well or badly.

Unfortunately, Wu Qian didn't think so, and she was bringing trouble upon herself.

Actually, in Lin Feng's feeling, when Wu Qian was by his side, he felt most relaxed.

It is precisely because of Wu Qian's psychological reasons that Lin Qiuxia became a child who doesn't like to talk much but likes to show off.

When Jing Wu saw Lin Qiuxia, Wu Qian was at home staring at her daughter doing her homework.

It was Olympic math.

Wu Qian didn't understand any of it, so she could only wait until Lin Qiuxia finished, then compare the answers.

"Mom, I don't want to study these!"

After finishing another worksheet, Lin Qiuxia pouted and said.

Wu Qian frowned and said: "Qiuxia, you need to work hard; you're not as smart as Lin Shi Yi, nor as strong as Lin Chang'e, so you need to learn more."

I used to just regret, regretting that when I was young why I didn't study hard to get into a good university, I just wanted to play…

The educational approach was still the usual parents' routine.

Lin Qiuxia helplessly said: "Mom, I'm different from other kids! My memory is great, and our family isn't short of money; I want to go play with Chang'e and Baobao."

After saying that, Lin Qiuxia's eyes suddenly lit up, "How fragrant!"

After saying that, Lin Qiuxia's eyes suddenly lit up, "How fragrant!"

Wu Qian turned her head to look.

She saw Jing Wu standing by the window of the room.

Without guessing, one could tell this woman must have jumped in from outside the window.

"Jing Wu!"

Wu Qian stared, then exclaimed in surprise.

Wu Qian knew Jing Wu, although she had never met her in person, she had seen Jing Wu's portrait painted by Qian Miaomiao.

Lin Qiuxia then smiled and called out, "Auntie Little Witch, hello!"

"What a polite child!"

Jing Wu laughed and said.

"Jing Wu, what are you doing here?"

Wu Qian asked nervously.

If it were Mei Wu, Wu Qian would not feel nervous at all.

But this woman before her is different.

It is said she is as powerful as Mei Wu, but she is not as obedient as Jing Wu.

Jing Wu laughed and said, "I'm here to take on a disciple!"

After answering that, she looked at Lin Qiuxia and said, "Lin Qiuxia, are you willing to be my disciple? Study the Witch Tribe's knowledge by my side."

Lin Qiuxia glanced at Wu Qian, then nodded and said, "I'm willing!"

Jing Wu laughed, "Learning from me, I charge money, you know!"

"I have money!"

Lin Qiuxia said while patting her chest.

"I want Gold Tickets worth two billion dollars!" Jing Wu set a high price.

Originally there was no such condition, but after seeing Lin Qingyue and Lin Qingxia, Jing Wu came up with this.

As a conceited woman, Jing Wu felt she also needed to test her future successor.

Lin Qiuxia dashed out of the room with a "whoosh".

Moments later, she came out holding a flat box.

Then she opened it, and with a swift motion of counting bills, she counted out Gold Tickets worth two billion dollars, "Auntie Little Witch, according to this morning's gold price, there's an extra one here, but you don't need to give change!"

At that moment Wu Qian finally reacted, staring at her daughter in shock, "Where did you get all this money?"

Wu Qian doesn't even have that much money now!

Lin Qiuxia lowered her head and whispered, "It was Lin Chang'e and Lin Jingru who gave it to me."

"What does that mean?"

Wu Qian asked again.

Lin Qiuxia did not answer.

She could only say this much; any more would be betraying her siblings.

Jing Wu then spoke: "It's just this little money, don't be nervous! Lin Qiuxia, from now on you are my student, come with me!"

"Including today, you only need three days to learn the knowledge I will teach you."

Wu Qian exclaimed in surprise, "What can you learn in three days?"

Jing Wu's mouth curled up, "A civilization's advancement is not about how advanced its technology is, but about the speed and completeness of knowledge transmission.

"You humans on Earth, to master a body of knowledge, need to spend over ten years; that's too long and inefficient."

"But for us Witch Tribe, this process only takes a few short days."

After saying that, a gust of wind blew through the room.

Jing Wu and Lin Qiuxia vanished.

Wu Qian stood stunned, still a bit dazed.

Just then, her phone chimed with a notification.

Coming to her senses, Wu Qian opened her phone and saw it was a message from Lin Feng.

Tomorrow, Lin Feng will come to her place.

Wu Qian laughed happily, and everything that had just happened in her mind was thrown to the back of her head.

Her mind was full of thoughts about what clothes to wear, wondering if she should go to Qimeiyangshenguan for a little maintenance.

Just now, in the chat group, she had heard Zuo Wei mention something.

What powerful cosmetics does she have that can remove pigment?

Then, Wu Qian asked Zuo Wei in the chat group.

Probably because during this time period, everyone happened to be free.

Many people were paying attention to this matter.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that the children had sent An Qi and Zuo Wei something made from deep-sea pearls.

Then they talked about how the children had been generous with their spending recently.

This is not a normal matter.

Under Liang Shishi's questioning, and with Guo Yanru and Bei Yiren paying attention, the fact that the children had a lot of money could no longer be hidden.

"Investigate! We must find out where their money comes from!"

In Liang Shishi's voice message, there was anger.

Guo Yanru also said: "Lin Qingyue and Lin Qiuxia have been acting strange lately; it turns out they've been hiding money."

Bei Yiren said: "Bei Shuying and Bei Qingqian have bought many high-tech toys lately; I thought their uncle bought them for them, but it turns out it was their own money."

Guo Yanqiu said: "Lin Qingxia bought a lot of precious medicinal herbs; I thought the funds came from Caiwei's allocation."

Yang Caiwei hurriedly said: "No, there's no such thing!"

Wu Qian became worried: "Just now, Jing Wu accepted Lin Qiuxia as a disciple, collecting a tuition fee of twenty billion US dollars; this money came from Lin Qiuxia herself, making her richer than me, her mother!"
