Chapter 24 It feels so good to get something for free.
After their conversation, Lin Que and Su Yuyan came out together. However, Su Yuyan seemed to be in a bad mood. Her fair hands were clenched into fists. She didn't even glance at Lin Que after leaving the backstage area and walked quickly forward as if she didn't want to stay for a moment.
Lin Que, standing to the side, touched his nose, looking completely unconcerned.
As they walked, seeing Lin Que clutching the stone in his arms, seemingly remembering something, they called out to Su Yuyan ahead, "Miss Yuyan! Please wait a moment!"
Su Yuyan stopped and turned around, saying irritably, "What!"
Lin Que looked at the slightly angry pretty face, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I wanted to ask if any auction houses or merchants sell storage rings. I'm thinking of buying one."
Upon hearing Lin Que's words, Su Yuyan's face, which had just been somewhat angry, instantly turned playful.
"Storage rings do exist, but well...!!!"
"It's a bit pricey, though. Are you sure you want to buy it, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Que had a bad feeling, and forced himself to ask, "How much?"
Su Yuyan's smile widened as she slowly said, "The cheapest is two thousand... mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Five cubic meters of space".
Upon hearing the price, Lin Que gave up. Although he would receive 8,000 mid-grade spirit stones from the sale of the Soul-Returning Grass, he didn't have much left over because he needed to purchase supplies for the entire village.
Although Lin Que deserves the most credit, even if he took out two thousand spirit stones for his own consumption, the village probably wouldn't say anything. However, Lin Que couldn't get past his own conscience. Back when he first came to this world, it was the village that kindly took him in.
Even the cultivation techniques were bestowed upon him by the village chief, for which he could never repay him.
Lin Que hung his head, waved his hand dejectedly, and said, "Forget it, I don't have that much money. Goodbye."
After saying that, he walked past Su Yuyan and left.
Seeing this, Su Yuyan covered her face and chuckled, then looked at Lin Que's back and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Although you definitely can't afford to buy one, I can give you one for free."
Upon hearing this, Lin Que immediately shook off his dejection, straightened his back, and turned around with a joyful expression!
"What a kind person! May you have eight babies in one pregnancy!"
Su Yuyan, who was just about to take a ring off one of her hands, suddenly froze, her chest heaving and veins bulging on her forehead.
"You only had eight babies in one pregnancy!!!"
After taking off the ring, she hurled it at Lin Que, then stormed off in a huff...
Lin Que remained unperturbed, still beaming with delight as he caught the ring that flew toward him.
The ring still retained a trace of warmth.
A lingering fragrance.
Lin Que pricked his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it onto the ring. After emitting a burst of white light, the ring successfully recognized him as its owner.
After putting on the ring, he opened the space inside the ring with a thought. Unexpectedly, it was a storage ring with a space of twenty cubic meters. Boss Su is generous!
Lin Que put the stone in his arms into his storage space and left happily.
On the other side, Su Yuyan, after leaving the auction, became angrier and angrier. Finally, she burst out laughing, like melting spring snow, attracting the attention of the beautiful flower among the passersby.
......
After returning to the inn with a delighted expression, Lin Que waved the ring in his hand at Qi Haoyue: "Look, what's this?"
Qi Haoyue stared wide-eyed at the ring in Lin Que's hand!
"Wow! How did you get that? You don't have that many spirit stones, do you?"
Lin Que explained with a grin, "Miss Yu Yan gave it to me for free. It feels so good to get something for free!"
After her initial surprise, Qi Haoyue said with a frustrated expression, "It doesn't make sense. Why should they give it away for free? Why don't I get this treatment?"
"It's the same old reason, maybe I'm just good-looking."
Qi Haoyue was completely devastated by those words. He hadn't thought about it before, but now it seemed that being handsome really could put food on the table. God was unfair.
Just kidding, Lin Que thinks it must be the Su family's fault, especially Su Yuyan's words "to provide certain assistance when necessary" played a big role in it.
However, I should still express my gratitude. It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to return this favor later. A storage ring with a five-cubic-meter space already costs two thousand mid-grade spirit stones, let alone a twenty-cubic-meter one. Moreover, storage rings aren't something everyone can own; their value goes without saying.
"By the way, have all the supplies been purchased?" Lin Que asked.
"Everything is basically done, and we can go back first thing tomorrow morning."
Finally, we can go back. I wonder if that girl Lian Yue is anxious. I really want to get back to the village as soon as possible, but I have a strange sense of unease.
The next morning, the entire team packed their belongings at the entrance of the inn and set off to return to the village.
The journey here didn't take much time, but the return trip was much slower, since we were carrying a lot of supplies.
Three hours later...
"Let's rest here and have lunch first."
Qi Haoyue came to Lin Que's side and, seeing Lin Que frowning, asked him, "What's wrong?"
Lin Que replied, "It's nothing, I probably just didn't get enough rest last night."
He casually changed the subject, saying, "By the way, did you find out anything about Qi Wuyue that the village asked you to inquire about?"
Qi Haoyue shrugged and said, "Not a single word."
Seeing this, he stopped speaking, but strangely, the inexplicable unease in Lin Que's heart still lingered.
After lunch and a short rest, the team continued their journey.
But as the afternoon progressed and the group drew closer to the mountains, Lin Que's unease grew stronger.
Suddenly, a figure darted out from the nearby bushes, its breath weak, and collapsed directly in front of Lin Que.
Everyone in the team was taken aback by this scene.
"alert!"
Seeing this, Lin Que and Qi Haoyue stepped forward to test the waters.
Lin Que felt that this person looked familiar, and upon closer inspection, he realized that it was the man in black.
Why is he here?
Just as he was about to help him up, Lin Que instantly sensed a powerful aura coming towards them, but this aura seemed somewhat chaotic.
Seemingly realizing something, he immediately said to Qi Haoyue, "You guys go quickly! Let's split up and not go together! Otherwise, something bad will happen to us!"
"Go back and tell Lian Yue that I might be returning to the village later!"
"Hurry up, or it'll be too late!"
After saying that, ignoring the expressions of Qi Haoyue and the others, he picked up the black man and ran off in another direction.
Qi Haoyue also recalled the scene at the auction, and turned to the others, saying, "Let's go, let's continue to pretend we're a normal group."
Not long after they set off, a powerful aura appeared in front of Qi Haoyue and the others. It was none other than Han Tianli from the Ghost King Sect!
Perhaps because he was in a hurry, Han Tianli only scanned the group once with his aura. Finding no trace of the man in black, he ignored him and chased after Lin Que.
As soon as Han Tianli left, the entire team breathed a sigh of relief!
so close!
Qi Haoyue was sweating profusely. She turned around and glanced in Lin Que's direction, her face full of worry.
I hope everything is alright...
