Chapter 60

"Are you guys worried that our actions today might provoke the Tang family's retaliation?"

"Definitely, we need to be more careful from now on. We also need to find a new place to live and leave here as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble for the Luo family."

"Alright, I'll go out with Lin Dao tomorrow to look for a place and try to move in as soon as possible."

Lin Zheng and the others returned to the Luo family and began discussing the next steps in the courtyard. Pizi Lang had already been sent back to sleep by everyone. This guy was a real drunkard; even when they were together before, they hadn't seen him drink so much. Since they came out, he always drank until he was drunk, talking about drinking toasts and wearing flowered underwear, causing everyone no end of trouble!

Li Ruoshui and the others went back to their rooms to change clothes. An Miaoyi had given them a lot of beautiful clothes and jewelry, probably to win their favor!

"Lin Wen, what do you think of An Miaoyi?" Lin Zheng asked while drinking tea.

"It's hard to say. From what we can see, she seems to have a significant position in Wushuang City. Whether it's ordinary martial artists or high-ranking officials, even the Tang family, they all show her respect. I don't think she's as simple as we see. Moreover, this incident is very special. She ignored the Tang family's face and treated us well, and she was constantly probing our background during our conversation, all while maintaining a calm demeanor. I almost fell for it, but thanks to Old Wolf's jokes, we didn't reveal anything." Lin Wen was a bit helpless; the information they had was too limited to make a judgment.

"After all, so far, An Miaoyi is still on our side. She sees potential in us, or perhaps the mysterious forces behind us. However, whether she is a true friend still needs to be observed. My intuition tells me that she is very deep, but she doesn't seem to have any ill intentions toward us."

"Right, I agree. However, Tianyu Nishang is not as simple as it seems. Remember the attendant who led us into the shop? He is also a martial artist, and his cultivation is not low. He might be wearing some spiritual artifacts to conceal his cultivation or has learned methods to hide it, just like us." Lin Zheng added.

"Right, I have the same feeling. I think each of those people is not simple, but for some reason, they are willing to act as servants." Lin Dao said after some thought. Lin Dao's martial sense was very direct, his sharp and simple blade intent made it easier to see through someone's disguise.

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. An Miaoyi doesn't seem to have any ill intentions toward us, at least for now, we are still friends on the surface. We should focus on how to establish ourselves in Wushuang City. We will be staying here for some time and need to lay a good foundation for the future." Lin Zheng interrupted everyone.

"Since that's the case, why don't we make a big splash? We weren't planning to be low-key anyway. The more high-profile we are, the safer our uncle might be. I also want to see the prosperity of this continent and the strength of those deep and unfathomable experts!" Lin Wen, who was usually calm, said.

Lin Dao and Lin Qian's eyes also showed excitement. Lin Zheng nodded helplessly; Lin Wen was a fighter at heart.

"However, don't neglect your cultivation. If we want to be high-profile, we need the capital to back it up. If we provoke those old immortals or those massive forces, we might have no chance to resist. We need to be cautious; this wilderness is not as simple as we think."

"Right!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Hey? What are you guys talking about? Come and see how this dress looks on me!" Lin Qin appeared in front of everyone in a purple long dress, looking noble and elegant. The well-fitted dress highlighted her beautiful figure, making her look stunningly attractive.

"Right, it looks good!" Everyone nodded.

Lin Qin strutted around like a peacock, but when she saw everyone still silent, she rolled her eyes and said, "Not even a clap? You guys are heartless."

Everyone: "What does this have to do with being heartless?"

"Lingling, are you done changing? Come out quickly!" Lin Qin stood in the courtyard, holding the corner of her dress, and shouted into the room, looking like a bandit queen. Her beautiful appearance was instantly ruined.

Everyone: "..."

"Ah, I can't stand her inconsistent attitude. She can be so beautiful one moment and then so different the next!" Lin Wen shook his head helplessly.

"Coming, coming!" Luo Lingling's voice came from inside the room, followed by the sound of footsteps. A small head peeked out from the slightly open door, her hair neatly combed behind her ears, looking very cute. Her pink face showed a shy smile as she blinked her eyes.

Lin Qin rushed forward and dragged Luo Lingling out. Everyone was instantly impressed. Luo Lingling usually wore simple clothes, but the green dress suited her perfectly, making her look pure, clean, and adorable.

"Ev... Everyone... What do you think?" Luo Lingling asked nervously. She had never worn such luxurious silk before and felt very uncomfortable, not knowing where to put her hands, so she kept twisting her fingers in the air.

"Of course, it looks very good. Lingling, you look very suitable and beautiful in this dress!" Li Ruoshui, wearing a light blue long dress, walked out of the room slowly.

The three women stood side by side: Lin Qin's nobility, Luo Lingling's cuteness, and Li Ruoshui's ethereal beauty. Everyone was stunned and looked at each other. Lin Zheng smiled and said, "If we go out together now, we will definitely be seen as your attendants."

"Ha ha, that's exactly what I want. I need a few attendants now. Let's go for a walk." Lin Qin was about to walk out, but Li Ruoshui and Luo Lingling quickly held her back.

Her bandit queen demeanor was ruined, and the beautiful scene was instantly destroyed. Lin Zheng and the others were about to speak when a knock came from the front door. A voice asked, "Excuse me, is this the Luo family?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Lin Zheng answered from the courtyard, "Yes, who is it?"

The person outside seemed to recognize Lin Zheng's voice and replied respectfully, "I am a disciple of Qinghe Sect, here to pay a visit. May I come in to speak?"

Lin Zheng and the others sat down, and Luo Lingling quickly went to open the door. She knew the power of Qinghe Sect, which, though not as powerful as the major families, was not something the Luo family could afford to offend. Li Ruoshui quickly grabbed Luo Lingling and gestured for her to sit down, indicating that she didn't need to go out to greet the visitor.

"Come in!" Lin Zheng said, and the single word echoed like a thunderclap, spreading throughout the entire civilian area. The rolling thunder sound was like a divine command, and the people waiting outside were startled. The visitor became even more cautious and carefully pushed the door open and walked in.

It was like a minister paying homage to an emperor!

"Go back, prepare the gifts again, and come quickly!" Many people outside turned and gave orders, then stood quietly in the alley. The surrounding civilians returned to their homes but still peeked through the door cracks or leaned over the walls to gather information. What was happening at the Luo family? These people didn't seem to be here to cause trouble.

The Qinghe Sect disciple carefully pushed the door open and entered, then called for the people carrying the gifts to come in quickly and carefully closed the door. The disciple saw Lin Zheng in the courtyard and respectfully approached, saying, "Young Master Lin, I greet you."

Lin Zheng casually waved his hand, and the man's face showed no displeasure, only more respect. "Young Master Lin, this is a small token of our master's appreciation. Where would you like to place it?"

"Hmm?" Lin Zheng saw four attendants behind the leader, each carrying a large box. He turned to Luo Lingling and asked, "Lingling, do we have space in the warehouse?"

"Let's put it here for now. I'll clean out a room later to store it." Luo Lingling was surprised but quickly regained her composure.

"Put it here. Thank you for your visit."

"Yes, we will take our leave now." The disciple put down the gifts and turned to leave.

"Hmm? Wait!" Li Ruoshui suddenly said softly. The people about to leave stopped and turned to ask respectfully, "What do you need, Miss?"

"Here, this is a bottle of Qingyuan Pills. It can help you break through your current bottleneck. You can share it among yourselves." Li Ruoshui's hand flicked, and a porcelain bottle flew into the disciple's hand.

The people's faces lit up with joy, and they bowed deeply to Li Ruoshui and then to Lin Zheng before leaving.

Lin Zheng turned to look at Li Ruoshui, a smile on his face. With Li Ruoshui around, she always managed to handle things perfectly. They say it's easier to deal with the devil than with his minions, and Lin Wen and the others instantly understood the key point, all smiling at Li Ruoshui.

"Why give them pills? I want to see what's in these boxes first." Lin Qin was already at the boxes, about to open them, when someone outside shouted, "Is Young Master Lin at the Luo family? I am from the Bihai Sect, here to pay a visit!"

Lin Qin quickly returned to her seat, straightened her clothes, and picked up a cup of tea, looking like a refined young lady, but her eyes kept glancing at the boxes in the courtyard.

More than a dozen small and large forces came to visit one after another, leaving gifts and saying flattering words, then taking the pills and leaving.

By the time the last group left, it was already evening. The gifts in the courtyard piled up like a small mountain. Everyone was exhausted, realizing that receiving and dealing with gifts was a mentally draining task. They had to listen to endless flattery and respond with false politeness, a job not everyone could handle!

Lin Qin rubbed her face and said, "I'm so tired. I had to keep smiling; my face is about to cramp up."

"Alright, let's take stock. Lingling, you're in charge. List all the items. We'll go buy some food and drinks. Ruoshui and Xiao Qin, help Lingling." Lin Zheng and Lin Dao went out, partly to buy food and drinks and partly to gauge the reaction of Wushuang City.

The three women started to inventory the gifts. Lin Qin was excited, looking at each item. As they went through the gifts, Luo Lingling's surprise grew, eventually turning to shock, while Lin Qin was very happy. Li Ruoshui watched the two quietly, a smile on her face, but it was unclear what she was thinking.

PS: I watched the news broadcast on the state channel during dinner. Yes, it's still the familiar voice and the familiar taste! Fellow readers, let me feel the taste of red tickets and collections!
