Chapter 87: The Company's Quartet, the Witty Feng Baobao
Zhang Lingyu turned and left to organize the Tianshi Mansion's records regarding the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core.
Lao Tianshi looked at Lin Xuan with eager anticipation.
It was clearly visible that Lao Tianshi was very concerned about the affairs of his junior brother, Tian Jinzhong.
Protecting their own seemed to be a tradition of the Tianshi Mansion.
It was no wonder that after Tian Jinzhong was killed by Gong Qing, Lao Tianshi would descend the mountain to sweep through the Quanzhen.
Aside from preventing the secret of the Jiashen Eight Extraordinary Techniques from leaking, avenging Tian Jinzhong was also one of the reasons.
"What is the plan now?"
Lao Tianshi looked at Lin Xuan and asked.
"The repair of the meridians cannot be rushed. Although the senior's meridians are severed, the Qi within the body still exists; even after the meridians are repaired, one must adapt to the circulation of Qi."
"Feel free to proceed with your methods."
Tian Jinzhong spoke up.
"Senior, there is no need for that; the main issue here is that the senior needs to regrow the missing body parts, which is why the consumption will be so great."
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he looked toward the Tianshi.
"Lao Tianshi, I will attempt to help the senior repair his meridians today; it may take some time."
"Do as you must; I, this old Daoist, will assist you here."
Lao Tianshi nodded upon hearing this and spoke.
Lin Xuan nodded, then turned his head to look at Qing Bai Er She.
"The two of you, go and tell the grandmaster!"
"Understood, Benefactor!"
Although Qing Bai Er She did not want to leave Lin Xuan's side upon hearing this, they still turned and left as instructed.
"Xiao Yuzi, you want to go back too, right? When I need to find you later, I will have someone call for you."
Gong Qing nodded upon hearing this, and as he turned, his gaze inadvertently swept over Lin Xuan.
Yet he discovered that Lin Xuan was not looking at him at all.
What exactly is this person thinking?
Gong Qing's heart was full of doubt.
Lin Xuan truly did not take Gong Qing to heart, and once again unleashed the Divine Thunder to help Tian Jinzhong reconnect his meridians.
The power within the human body is conserved when there is no external interference.
The repair by the Taiyi Divine Thunder also required Tian Jinzhong to expend his own energy.
Meridian repair requires adapting to the circulation of Qi.
Lao Tianshi did not disturb them either.
On the other side, Er She found Fang Dongtian.
"The Benefactor is going to help Lao Tianshi's junior brother, so he asked us to come and tell you."
Xiao Qing looked at Fang Dong and said.
"Hmm, did he say anything else?"
Fang Dongtian nodded upon hearing this.
He naturally knew about this matter.
And he had known for a long time.
After Lao Tianshi learned about the Taiyi Divine Thunder from Zhang Lingyu, the first person he sought out was Fang Dongtian.
"He didn't say anything else."
Xiao Bai thought for a moment and shook her head.
"What about the two of you?"
Fang Dongtian scrutinized the two Snake Immortals and asked again.
"We are going to the Benefactor's room to wait for the Benefactor!"
"I see, I will have someone take you there."
……
While Lin Xuan was helping Tian Jinzhong repair his meridians, the four people from the Company were elsewhere.
The four of them sat in the room arranged by the Tianshi Mansion, staring at each other.
"That is my bead bracelet."
Feng Baobao seemed convinced that the bead bracelet on Lin Xuan's wrist was hers.
"Bao'er, listen to me, you didn't pay for it, so it's not yours."
Xu San presented the facts and reasoned with Feng Baobao.
"I don't care, I saw it first, so it is my bead bracelet; I will go find him to ask for it later."
Xu San clenched his fists and turned to look at Xu Si.
"Bao'er, let's go, I'll go buy you a few more strings!"
Now the two of them regretted it; had they known, they would have bought the bead bracelet outside the mountain gate, which probably would have only cost a few dozen or a couple hundred yuan.
"That won't do, I only want that one."
Feng Baobao stared with her round eyes and shook her head.
"Sister Bao'er, can you beat that person?"
Seeing Feng Baobao like this, Zhang Chulan rolled his eyes slightly and asked.
"Doesn't look like I can beat him!"
Hearing this question, Feng Baobao thought for a moment and shook her head directly.
"That's right, Sister Bao'er, you can't beat them; if you go to snatch someone's Bead Bracelet, you'll likely get your brains beaten out."
Zhang Chulan recalled what Feng Baobao had said earlier at the Company and borrowed her words now.
Feng Baobao raised both hands to protect the top of her head.
"Then what should I do?"
Feng Baobao looked at Zhang Chulan blankly.
"Wait until we run into them later, and see if we can buy it with money!"
Hearing Feng Baobao relent, Zhang Chulan said hurriedly.
"Alright then!"
Feng Baobao nodded, then quieted down.
"You kid really has a way."
Xu Si gave Zhang Chulan a thumbs up.
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, the situation now is that if that person really appears, and if they really participate, we're going to be in trouble."
Zhang Chulan was feeling a bit distressed now.
He had just gone up the mountain and met Lao Tianshi and Tian Jinzhong, with Lu Jin and Fang Dongtian watching from the side.
Regarding his grandfather's affairs, Lao Tianshi needed him to win before he would tell him.
This actually aligned with the Company's thinking.
Once Zhang Chulan said this, the four people, including Feng Baobao, all fell silent.
Of course, Feng Baobao's silence was for a different reason than the other three.
"It shouldn't come to that; if they really participate, then what's the point of competing? Just announce them as the winner directly."
Xu Si said while rubbing his chin.
"Although that is the logic, one can't be too careful, and besides, in terms of age, their age is actually appropriate."
Xu San shook his head slightly.
The initiative was not in their hands right now.
"Should we go probe for information?"
Xu Si thought for a moment and said.
"Whose?"
Xu San and Zhang Chulan asked in unison.
"Lao Tianshi's, of course. As a junior to Lao Tianshi of the Tianshi Mansion, isn't it reasonable for you to go pay your respects?" Xu Si said after taking out a cigarette and lighting it.
"Didn't I just see them? If I go again now, won't people suspect me of cheating!"
Zhang Chulan was a bit coy.
Then, the three people, including Feng Baobao, all stared at Zhang Chulan.
"You guy, why are you starting to care about your reputation now? Have you forgotten that we are currently cheating?"
Xu Si looked at Zhang Chulan speechlessly.
"Then should I go now?"
As he spoke, Zhang Chulan stood up.
"What for? We'll know tomorrow anyway. If they participate, and you feel you can't win, then withdraw from the competition, or when you meet them, you can kneel and kowtow to make them concede."
Feng Baobao said.
Zhang Chulan paused in his tracks.
"That actually makes sense!"
Either way, whether he went or not, he would definitely know tomorrow.
If the other party participated in this Grand Rite of Heaven and Earth, they would definitely show up tomorrow; by then, it wouldn't be too late to decide whether to withdraw or find another way.
If they didn't participate in the competition, then just proceed according to the previous plan.
Xu San, Xu Si, and Zhang Chulan all looked at Feng Baobao in surprise.
"Bao'er, you're right."
Xu Si gave Feng Baobao a thumbs up.
"When are we going to ask them for the Bead Bracelet?"
Feng Baobao was still thinking about that.
"Wait a bit; if we meet them tomorrow, we'll see if we can help you get it back."
Xu Si said.
"Mm!" Hearing this, Feng Baobao immediately quieted down.
A moment later, she stood up and jumped, touching her phone to look at the information on it.
"Look, is this the person? Spent one million to buy a Bead Bracelet, right outside the mountain gate of Tianshi Mansion."
Looking at the news on the Alien Forum on his phone, Zhang Chulan showed it to Xu San and the others.
