Chapter 88 No Girl is Forever Eighteen

"You...you are being excessively licentious."

Mei Weixuan was so angry...his eyes turned red with jealousy, and he wished he could cut Zhong Lin into pieces and replace him.

"I'm going to report you to Master Yin."

Zhong Lin shrugged and said casually, "I'm sorry, these were sent by Master on his own initiative."

"Fuck! A dung beetle wearing a mask—shame on you, you're just showing off."

Mei Weixuan's tone was full of resentment. Why could he only take the little money to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to find warmth, while Zhong Lin had elders who took the initiative to send a large number of beautiful maids to him, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

Why is the gap between people so big?

Zhong Lin also felt like teasing at this time, and said with a smile: "It can't be helped. Life is lonely like snow. Sometimes the gap between people is just so big. With so many beautiful maids to look after, why would you go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion? Don't you think so?"

"Gan."

Mei Weixuan was so angry that he didn't want to talk, and his gums were almost broken.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zhong Lin laughed out loud at Mei Weixuan's expression. As a hunter who came out of the mountains, he finally surpassed this son of a noble family in terms of material desires. For a moment, he felt extremely happy.

"Don't go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion tonight. Steward, have someone prepare a table of wine and food so Brother Mei and I can have a drink together."

At Zhong Lin's command, the butler who was serving on the side quickly turned around to prepare.

A moment later, the sound of two people clinking glasses could be heard at the table.

"I was originally thinking of taking you to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to introduce you to some friends! It seems there's no chance now."

Mei Weixuan complained, and he felt even more jealous when he saw the two beautiful maids standing on Zhong Lin's left and right, picking up food and pouring wine for him.

"No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Right now I just want to stay in Baicaotang and practice martial arts and make pills. We'll talk about it later."

Zhong Lin picked up the wine in the glass and drank it all. In an instant, a line of fire entered his throat, dispelling the coldness in his body.

"Alchemy? This is a technical job. By the time you learn it, the girls in Xiaoxiang Pavilion will probably be old."

"It's okay. No girl is always eighteen, but there are always eighteen-year-old girls."

Mei Weixuan's eyes lit up, and he kept chewing on Zhong Lin's eighteen-year-old theory in his mouth, then he slammed the table.

"It's well said, no girl is always eighteen, but there are always eighteen-year-old girls. Come on, cheers."

Zhong Lin smiled and raised his glass to clink it with his, then drank it all in one gulp.

"And it won't take long. I'm already a second-grade alchemist now."

puff!
The wine that Mei Weixuan had just taken a sip of sprayed out.

"What a joke."

"Do you think I'm joking?" Zhong Lin asked.

"That's impossible. I've seen second-grade alchemists before, and they've all devoted their lives to studying the classics. You've only been at Baicaotang for two days. No matter how talented you are, it's impossible... Damn, you can't really have refined a second-grade pill, right?"

Mei Weixuan looked at Zhong Lin in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

"I'm a genius, and you don't understand the world of geniuses."

"Impossible, this is impossible! I've seen geniuses before, but this is too outrageous. I don't think you've ever been exposed to alchemy, right?"

"No." "So it really took you two days to refine a second-grade pill?"

"Ah."

Mei Weixuan looked a little dazed, scratching his hair constantly and muttering to himself.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhong Lin, gritting his teeth and saying, "Monster."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Zhong Lin happily picked up the full wine glass again and drank it all in one gulp.

Fragrant.

It took a long time for Mei Weixuan to wake up from his shocked mental state, but whenever he looked at Zhong Lin again, his eyes were always filled with lament.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm a genius, isn't it better? When I master the art of alchemy and make a peerless elixir, you'll be invincible if you take one. Then I'll give you one first." Zhong Lin said jokingly.

"Hey, you said it, I didn't force you. Come on, write it down, so you don't have to deny it later because you said you were drunk."

Mei Weixuan stood up directly, pointed his finger at Zhong Lin, and kept yelling, then asked someone to get paper and pen, write a document, and even asked Zhong Lin to press his fingerprints next to it.

Zhong Lin also cooperated with him with a smile throughout the whole process. Mei Weixuan was, after all, his benefactor. It was rare that they shared the same sense of righteousness. If he became successful in the future, he would naturally not forget him.

Mei Weixuan carefully folded the note and put it away, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Let's not talk about these bad things. I have another important thing to do this time. Aren't you quite interested in exotic beasts? Now there is a chance to get one. Do you want to come?"

Zhong Lin paused while drinking and gently put the glass down.

"Tell me more specifically."

"My family's caravan accidentally discovered a strange beast, a silver wolf, when passing through the Black Wind Forest. There was a little cub beside the silver wolf whose eyes had not yet opened. What do you think? Do you have any ideas?" Mei Weixuan said excitedly.

Zhong Lin frowned upon hearing this: "Black Wind Forest again? Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. My caravan has business dealings with the Cheng Kingdom in the north, and the Black Wind Forest is a must-pass route. We discovered this by accident. What do you mean by 'again'?"

"Remember that Han Jin? He showed up again, in the Black Wind Forest. Master has already gone there."

The smile on Mei Weixuan's face faded and his expression became solemn.

"Brother Mei, don't you find this a bit too coincidental?"

Mei Weixuan narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped lightly on the table with his right index finger.

"It's indeed a bit of a coincidence. So, you said Han Jin appeared in the Black Wind Forest, is it also for the silver wolf cub?"

Zhong Lin nodded and said, "That's not impossible. No, we must inform Master as soon as possible. Brother Mei, the wine is here for today. We will continue drinking next time."

"Okay, I'm going back home."

Neither of them was the type to take things slow, so they each stood up and left.

Zhong Lin found Manager Deng and told him about his speculation with Mei Weixuan.

Deng Yunsheng's expression changed drastically as he said unhappily, "Each of these exotic beasts possesses strength comparable to that of a top-tier third-grade warrior. If Han Jin is truly after the silver wolf cubs, this will be troublesome. Don't worry, sir. I will immediately send someone to Black Wind Forest to inform the Hall Master."

Deng Yunsheng also came and left in a hurry, leaving Zhong Lin standing alone.

"Strength, strength is still necessary! My current sixth-grade cultivation level is completely unable to get involved in such matters. The only thing I can do now is to improve my strength. Once I reach the upper third grade, or even surpass the first grade, then all problems will be solved. If they can't be solved, then I'll just kill them with a single blow."

In the dark night, Zhong Lin's eyes sparkled.
