Chapter 142 - 142: Qing Jianzi
“Brother Yu is too kind.” Fang Lin had a radiant smile on his face as he naturally pocketed the jade bottle.
Upon seeing Fang Lin accept it, Yu Qiufan sighed in relief, also smiling, “Fang, we have had some conflicts, but it was all due to Kang Lu. Now that Kang Lu is finally paying for his deeds, I think we should make peace. Will you give me this chance?
Fang Lin clapped Yu Qiufan on the shoulder in a familiar manner, “What are you talking about Brother Yu? We never really had any conflicts. In the future, I’ll still need to rely on your help in the Pill Sect.”
Yu Qiufan laughed heartily, “No, no, you are very talented. I’m afraid you will soon rise to the top. It will be me who needs your help in the future.”
The two of them were enjoying their conversation, and to the uninformed, it would appear as if they had been old friends for ages.
Meng Chaoyang and Ouyang Jing were somewhat surprised to see the two of them making peace, but they quickly realized this was just Yu Qiufan’s style.
The others present, especially the disciples of the Pill Sect, were secretly shocked to see the sudden improvement in Fang Lin’s and Yu Qiufan’s relations.
As far as Fang Lin was concerned, accepting Yu Qiufan’s gift was equivalent to reconciling with him. In the future, as long as Yu Qiufan didn’t create trouble, Fang Lin wouldn’t spoil their relationship.
Additionally, he truly thought that Yu Qiufan was unique and was probably the most cunning among the Four Elites of Pill Sect.
Although Fang Lin was not afraid of having him as an enemy, it would really be troublesome. Better to eliminate this issue as soon as possible.
“Brother Fang, I wonder if you brought any good items with you? I’d like to trade for some Pills.” Ouyang Jing said to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin shrugged, helplessly saying, “I didn’t bring anything else besides this girl. Why don’t you bring out a treasure, and I’ll give her to you.”
As he said this, Fang Lin gestured towards Miss Dugu not far away.
Miss Dugu immediately widened her eyes in anger, glaring at Fang Lin. Ouyang
Jing was embarrassed, coughed, and admonished, “How can you joke about Miss Dugu? Fang, you are in the wrong.”
Fang Lin shrugged, “This girl is nothing but a burden by my side. I wish I could sell her for some treasures.”
Everyone twitched a bit at his words. How could the precious gem of the Dugu Family be treated as a piece of cabbage and be considered in exchange for some treasures in Fang Lin’s eyes?
“Ah, Brother Fang, you are the envy of others, having such a beautiful girl by your side.” Yu Qiufan said with a playful tone.
Meng Chaoyang, too, looked at Fang Lin with an odd expression in his eyes, obviously implying something. Being a man, Fang Lin immediately understood.
“Brother Fang, they say familiarity breeds fondness. As you’ve spent so much time together with Miss Dugu, have you started having feelings for her?” Ouyang Jing asked with laughter.
Not too far away, Miss Dugu seemed to have heard their conversation and looked at the others angrily, ready to argue.
“Ignore her. I have no interest in this annoying girl at all. The sooner I teach her Shaking Three Mountains, the sooner I can have her leave.” Fang Lin said casually.
The speaker may not have meant much, but this sparked interest in his listeners.
The mention of Shaking Three Mountains immediately caught the attention of Ouyang Jing, Meng Chaoyang, and Yu Qiufan.
As Pill Refiners, nobody wouldn’t be interested in Shaking Three Mountains. Upon hearing that Fang Lin had taught it to Miss Dugu, the three naturally began to formulate some ideas.
It was an irresistible temptation, they would probably lose composure no matter who they were.
“Brother Fang, may I ask where did you learn Shaking Three Mountains?” Ouyang Jing hesitated before asking.
Fang Lin answered, “I met an elder in my early years. He taught me Shaking
Three Mountains, as well as many Pill Formulas.”
Hearing this, the expressions of Ouyang Jing and the others were mixed. They all nodded slightly.
They didn’t know whether Fang Lin’s words were true or false, but no one questioned him. If this was how Fang Lin chose to tell it, then this was how they would listen.
“So you really taught Shaking Three Mountains to Miss Dugu?” Meng Chaoyang also asked.
Fang Lin nodded in affirmation.
Seeing this, the three felt even more agitated. If Fang Lin could teach Shaking
Three Mountains to Miss Dugu, it isn’t impossible for him to teach them too; is
Of course, even though they thought so, it was difficult to ask Fang Lin to impart them Shaking Three Mountains.
Fang Lin looked at the three of them, taking in every subtle expression on their faces. Naturally, he was very clear about what they were thinking.
“Gentlemen, do you also want to learn Shaking Three Mountains?” Fang Lin asked with a teasing smile.
Ouyang Jing and the others wore awkward expressions. Fang Lin just laughed and said, “If you really want to learn, I would not be stingy. I will pass on Shaking Three Mountains to the appropriate person, so that all the disciples of the Pill Sect have the chance to learn it. This ancient pill refining technique should not only rest in the hands of a few.”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jing and the others exchanged glances. They didn’t know how to respond to Fang Lin’s words, but it also didn’t obliterate their intentions.
Just at this time, another figure slowly approached from outside the bamboo forest.
At first, no one paid any attention, but very soon, the expressions of Meng Chaoyang and the others changed drastically, and the disciples of the Martial
Sect stepped forward to welcome the newcomer.
“Brother Fang, a significant person is here.” Meng Chaoyang said.
Fang Lin made an understanding sound and looked over. He was immediately filled with surprise.
The newcomer was dressed in black and, although not handsome, he exuded an air of gallantry. There was a sword hanging behind his back.
“Greetings, Brother Qing Jian Zi!” The disciples of the Martial Sect saluted in unison.
“Qing Jian Zi? Who is that?” Fang Lin asked in confusion.
Meng Chaoyang and the others gave him a strange look. How clueless could he he tn nnt know snch a fam011R name?
Before they could explain to Fang Lin, they joined the other disciples of the Pill Sect, stepped forward, and greeted Qing Jian Zi.
“We apologize for not greeting you from afar, Brother Qing Jian Zi.” Ouyang Jing took the lead in apologizing.
Qing Jian Zi was very easy-going and waved his hand, laughing, “No need for that. I just came here casually. ”
At this point, only Fang Lin and Miss Dugu had not greeted Qing Jian Zi, which made them stand out all the more.
Qing Jian Zi looked over at Fang Lin and Miss Dugu, assessing them with a calculating gaze.
“I heard that Disciple Fang is here. Which one of you is Disciple Fang?” Qing
Jian Zi asked..
