Chapter 86 Conditions
Chapter 86 Conditions
"Miss Lin has very good handwriting."
"You've seen him before?" Lin Yan frowned in confusion, then suddenly smiled knowingly, as if she had just realized something.
Zhao Yuncheng: "That 'Lin' character logo must have been written by you!"
"Oh, how are you so sure it's me?"
"Miss Lin's personality is just like her handwriting..."
"What Lin Miss's calligraphy?" A plaintive voice came from behind them, and the group looked up.
They saw Xiao Jingzhi standing behind the screen, leaning on his cane, looking at them with a resentful expression.
Chen Shuo immediately ran over and helped his Crown Prince up.
Xiao Jingzhi looked at Lin Yan and asked, "Why are you here so late, Miss Lin?"
Lin Yan laughed, "It's all because your subordinates were talking about me in this room, and I overheard them."
Xiao Jingzhi glanced at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng: →_→
"Ahem. Please forgive them, Miss Lin. They meant no harm at all; they just haven't met anyone like you before." Xiao Jingzhi knew exactly what Chen Feng was thinking.
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on her lips: "What kind of person am I?"
Then he looked at Zhao Yuncheng and asked, "What does my handwriting look like?"
Seeing Lin Yan's words directly targeting their master, the four guards pursed their lips, suppressing their laughter.
Xiao Jingzhi remained calm. "Your demeanor, actions, knowledge, and skills are not those of an ordinary peasant girl from the foot of the mountain. Moreover, it would be difficult to find a woman like Miss Lin in this world."
Zhao Yuncheng glanced at Xiao Jingzhi, then turned to look at Lin Yan and said, "Your calligraphy is elegant and unrestrained, yet sharp and concealed within."
"Hmm. Thank you for the compliment!" Lin Yan was pleased.
Looking at Xiao Jingzhi, who was leaning on a cane and had a pale face, Lin Yan, who had always been accompanied by the vibrant wood-type ability, could sense the death energy in Xiao Jingzhi's body with just a glance.
Even though he clearly didn't have much time left to live, he remained calm and showed no resentment towards anyone.
Lin Yan remembered that Li Zhongwei had promised to help her three times, and besides her parents, she could also let him heal one other person.
Lin Yan lowered her eyes, exuding an air of complete control, and asked, "Are you looking for Li Zhongwei?"
Everyone in the room immediately turned their gaze to Lin Yan.
Xiao Jingzhi: "How did you know, young lady?"
Lin Yan glanced at him with amusement, "Because your conspiracy was too loud, I heard it."
"Pfft!" Cheng Lin chuckled softly.
Zhao Yuncheng looked at her with a slight smile on his face.
Xiao Jingzhi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes brightening, but before he could speak, Chen Shuo couldn't help but ask, "Do you know where he is?!"
The group looked at Lin Yan with eager eyes.
Lin Yan shook her head, "I don't know right now."
Chen Shuo and Chen Feng sighed in disappointment, while Xiao Jingzhi's eyes flickered, but his expression remained unchanged.
Zhao Yuncheng looked at Lin Yan's expression and asked with certainty, "You've seen him before?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "That's right."
"Wherever it is, even if I've seen it before, it's still a clue!" Chen Shuo said excitedly.
Chen Feng also looked at Lin Yan with anticipation.
Lin Yan leaned back in her chair, lazily looking at the group. "Pour the tea!"
Chen Shuo: "Wh-what?"
"Pour the tea," Lin Yan said again.
Chen Feng glanced at Xiao Jingzhi and was about to step forward to pour tea for Lin Yan.
Zhao Yuncheng glanced at him, raised an eyebrow, and took the kettle from the table to pour water for Lin Yan.
Mu Yu stared, her eyes wide open.
Zhao Yuncheng placed the teacup in front of Lin Yan. "Miss Lin, please."
Lin Yan smiled and took a couple of sips of tea.
“I don’t know where he is right now, but he will come to my house in ten days to have my dad’s leg checked.”
"what?!"
Chen Feng asked excitedly, "How did he agree to that?" Li Zhongwei could agree to Lin Yan's request, so naturally he needed something. They could use that as leverage to get Li Zhongwei to detoxify His Highness.
"It was exchanged for a Ganoderma lucidum."
Mu Yu immediately realized, "That century-old Ganoderma lucidum sold at Jufulou is yours!"
Lin Yan nodded, not surprised that they knew about it. "That's right, I was the one who put it up for sale."
"You...you weren't sold to the Yu family?!"
"It was sold to the Yu family because they arrived first, but I still have one."
Mu Yu: "There's one more?!"
"A century-old Ganoderma lucidum?! You still have one?!"
Lin Yan nodded and smiled, "That's right!"
Koba: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
Chen Feng gritted his teeth and mouthed to Mu Yu, "See? I told you she was weird."
Xiao Jingzhi had already lowered his head to think about what rare medicinal herbs he had.
"Heh!" Seeing Mu Yu's shocked expression, Zhao Yuncheng chuckled. "So, Miss Lin can help us contact Li Zhongwei."
Lin Yan smiled, "Not only that, Li Zhongwei's condition for taking the Ganoderma was that he had to make three moves, and I still have one chance left."
Xiao Jingzhi looked up, his eyes sparkling as he stared at Lin Yan.
"Then, what are Miss Lin's conditions?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yan said, "What I'm missing right now... is a brewing license!"
"A brewing license?!" Chen Feng and Chen Shuo exclaimed in unison.
Xiao Jingzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhao Yuncheng. He was the Crown Prince of Daye, and in the current situation, it seemed unrealistic to ask Lin Yan for a brewing license from Liang. However…
Cheng Lin thought to himself: So this girl really was selling alcohol without a license in Fucheng a couple of days ago!
Mu Yu looked at his master and thought: This guy came for his master!
Zhao Yuncheng paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Sure. I'll take care of the brewing license for you."
"Is that all you're asking for?"
"Mm." Lin Yan nodded, indicating that this was the only condition, then stood up and yawned.
"Okay, I'm not talking to you guys anymore, I'm going to sleep."
As she reached the door, she suddenly turned around, startling Cheng Lin who was standing there. Cheng Lin couldn't maintain his cold expression any longer.
"Don't gossip about me, I can hear you~" she said and walked away gracefully.
Cheng Lin's lips twitched, and his hand instinctively reached for his sword as he looked at the people in the room. He said, "She scared me!"
No one spoke for a moment, and no one paid any attention to him.
Mu Yu broke the silence first: "I didn't expect this matter to be resolved so quickly. Luckily, we met Miss Lin. Otherwise, I don't know how long we would have searched. Even if we found him, he might not have agreed. Now everything is settled!"
Chen Feng nodded in agreement: "See, I told you..."
(Lips out: She's weird!)
Cheng Lin: "She scared me!"
Chen Shuo: "That's great! There's hope for His Highness's health now."
There was a hint of a smile in Xiao Jingzhi's eyes.
Cheng Lin: "She scared me!"
Zhao Yuncheng thought to himself, "It seems like I'm the one who has to pay the price!"
He stared straight at Xiao Jingzhi, his face cold, and said, "Give me the money!"
Xiao Jingzhi was taken aback: "What?"
Zhao Yuncheng remained unfazed. "Give me the money! I don't have any money to bribe those officials right now."
Xiao Jingzhi sighed speechlessly and gestured for Chen Feng to get the money.
"We're all family! Why are you fussing over this little bit of money?"
“You’re so rich, you definitely don’t care about this! Besides, who’s family with you? You’re surnamed Xiao, and I’m surnamed Zhao.”
"Hey!" Xiao Jingzhi really wanted to act like an older brother and teach this guy a lesson. But then he thought he couldn't beat him, so he decided to give up.
After all, if he really hit me, he wouldn't necessarily hold back, and I could go back and tell my aunt to deal with him.
