Chapter 615: Elder Chu

Elder Chu

“Ah? Oh…” Lin Yi didn’t think that Mengyao was aware of how little of a threat General Weiwu was to him. Why did she still have him stationed there? He shook his head.

In truth, Mengyao had the dog guard the staircase against thieves, not against Lin Yi. She wanted it to act as a barrier against Lin Yi at first, but that was a long time ago.

Mengyao had understood just what kind of person Lin Yi was. He would never go up on his own. Mengyao even hoped that he’d go peek on them at this point. At least that would prove their attractiveness!

But Lin Yi just wouldn’t do it!

While it wasn’t normal to think like that, that was just how the Miss was; she was stubborn and she didn’t understand just how Tang Yin was better than her! It was a heavy insult to her pride as the Miss!

It wasn’t the first time Lin Yi hugged Yushu, so he wasn’t feeling particularly sensitive towards it. With a heave, he lifted Yushu up and walked up to the stairs. General Weiwu, on the other hand, simply moved away, its head lowered and not even meeting Lin Yi’s eyes.

Mengyao hmphed and shot a glare at Lin Yi. She didn’t understand. Why wasn’t he afraid of General Weiwu?

She had her suspicions ever since Lin Yi fixed the Wifi lines upstairs and Weiwu didn’t threaten Lin Yi at all. How could he have gotten up if it did?

Her suspicions were only solidified when Lin Yi took Weiwu up the mountain to rescue her a couple of days ago. Other than Uncle Fu, not even her father could move the dog! How did Lin Yi get it up to the mountain?

Uncle Fu wasn’t with him when he found them and Weiwu was clearly frightened by Lin Yi when it ran to its owner for protection. Mengyao could tell at least that much.

Lin Yi smiled dryly and kept his mouth shut as he speedily went upstairs.

“Don’t look at anything funny upstairs! Follow me!” Mengyao walked in front of him and led Lin Yi to a room, opening it and letting Lin Yi carry Yushu inside.

It was a pink, intimate bedroom. The walls had many decorative flowers stickers on it and there were even some stuffed animals on the bed.

Lin Yi put Yushu down on the bed and hadn’t even looked at the room properly before Mengyao told him to leave.

He shrugged. It was a bit regrettable, but not many people were allowed to enter the Miss’s room, right? He was one of the few she trusted already.

If Mengyao didn’t want him snooping around, then he had no reason to peek. He walked out and went to clean up the mess that Yushu puked up before returning to his room.

He gave Old Lin a call to report the situation in Songshan, also informing him the good news of his level up into the mystic class.

The old man maintained the same impartial attitude and didn’t even congratulate him or say anything. He simply told him to continue remaining in the Chu house instead. When they were almost done talking, however, he said something surprising, “If you get the chance, try and interact with Elder Chu.”

“Elder Chu? Uncle Chu or his father?” Lin Yi asked after a pause.

“His father.” Old Lin said immediately. “If you get the chance. If not, there’s no need to try and make a chance, either. It’ll come eventually.”

“Ah?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel that there was something up in Old Lin’s wording. Was this a puzzle or something? Was there a hidden meaning? He decided to just keep it in mind first.

“Haha, it’s nothing.” Old Lin smiled faintly. “Kid, you didn’t just call me to give me a report, right? I don’t remember you calling unless there was something important.”

“There is something.” Lin Yi said. “Old man, do you still have those nerve stimulating liquids I used when training?”

“There might be some left. Why? Do you wanna use them?” Old Lin asked.

“Yeah, I have two friends who have problems with their nerves.” Lin Yi said. “Or you could give me the recipe and let me make some myself.”

Lin Yi hadn’t researched the nerve stimulants before since there was no need to. It wasn’t easy, either.

“If you’re looking to make it… Some of the ingredients aren’t very common. I planted them myself.” Old Lin said. “I have some finished liquids. If you want them, then just come take them.”

“I’ll get Er Goudan to bring them over then.” Lin Yi said. “I’ll call him in a bit.”

“Alright.” Old Lin wasn’t stingy when it came to these things. They weren’t particularly important anyway. During Lin Yi’s training days, he always made them by the tub.

Lin Yi wanted to use the mailing service or something to deliver the items, but this was an important task and Lin Yi didn’t want anything to happen. He might as well have Goudan bring it over; he could reunite with his childhood playmate too.

Lin Yi never had a set home in the last few years. He was always out on mission after mission and never settling down. Goudan would always listen with wide open eyes as Lin Yi talked about the colorful world outside, hoping that he could go out for a look one day as well. However, Lin Yi never got the chance to bring him outside with him.

Goudan’s family was poor. Of course, the village Lin Yi lived in wasn’t a rich place in the first place either. The only one who could be considered rich was the village chief who had a fish pond. The widow could also be considered rich with her restaurant and stall. Then, there was Lin Yi’s family.

Of course, the source of income for Lin Yi’s family was the straw hats and sandals he made. He was quick and his hands were agile. While many other people in the village had the same craft as Lin Yi, he maintained a production rate four to five times theirs. Of course, he’d be rich.

In truth, what was considered wealth there was just being able to buy a notebook and patron Widow Wang’s food establishments.

Lin Yi didn’t know where the mission compensations went, but Old Lin never said anything and so neither did Lin Yi. They weren’t father and son by blood, but they were still very much like father and son. Lin Yi wouldn’t dwell on things like that.

In comparison, Goudan’s family was very poor. They relied on farming to sustain themselves and didn’t even have a home telephone. Goudan wanted to travel out of the mountain and see the world. Lin Yi had made the promise to him that’d he would bring him out.

Now that he was settled in Songshan with a stable status and everything, Lin Yi decided to fulfill his promise.
