Chapter 301 Meeting Second Master, Reminiscing about the Past
"Ms. Lin, is there anything else?"
Looking at Lin Qiao in front of me, dressed in a cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her figure, resembling a concubine from the Republican era, I was a little curious. All the students had left, so why was she staying?
"Yes, I'd like to try Master Lin's cooking. I haven't been feeling well lately!" Lin Qiao deliberately stretched and said, "My shoulders and back are very tight and stiff. I'd like Master Lin to help me with that!"
"No problem!"
Upon hearing this request, Fatty Lin's eyes immediately lit up, and he said, "Come on, Sister Lin, the physiotherapy room is over here!"
As they spoke, the two headed towards the physiotherapy room.
I pursed my lips. Fatty Lin would never pass up meat that was offered to him so easily.
"Brother, are you envious?"
Just then, her ear tickled, and Long Nier came closer.
"Ni'er, I'm not that kind of person. I just think that you shouldn't associate with someone like Lin Qiao; the consequences would be too great!" I said.
"Tell me, what are the potential consequences?" Long Nier asked me with a half-smile.
"Nier, I'm not lying to you, this woman is poison, don't mess with her. When Fatty comes out later, I'll have to have a word with him!" I said.
"Brother, what are the consequences? What kind of poison is it? Tell me!" Long Nier moved closer to me, her eyes carrying a hint of danger.
"Ni'er, the men who have fallen for her aren't just one or two, and none of them are simple men; they're at least on par with Boss Yang!"
I thought for a moment, then whispered in Long Nier's ear about Lin Qiao's nickname and the men she associated with.
"Is she involved in so many things?" Long Nier asked after listening.
"If it weren't a lot, would I have this attitude?" I said, somewhat helplessly.
"You must tell Fatty after he's finished his treatment!" Long Nier said with some concern.
"Of course!" I nodded.
An hour later, Fatty Lin and Lin Qiao came out.
"Xiaolin, I'm leaving now. Do everything else as we agreed!"
After coming out, Lin Qiao nodded to me, then gently patted Fatty Lin's hand, gave him a charming smile, and turned to go downstairs.
Fatty Lin wanted to go downstairs to see her off, but I grabbed him. Once Lin Qiao was out, I immediately asked, "What did you two agree on?"
"Don't worry about me, I just finalized a supply plan for traditional Chinese medicine with her!" Fatty Lin said, winking.
"Traditional Chinese medicine?"
I looked at him suspiciously and asked, "A tonic?"
"Of course, what else would I be talking about if it weren't for tonics?" Fatty Lin snorted and said, "You know, Lin Qiao associates with business tycoons, most of whom are in poor health. This is a long-term business!"
I scoffed, gave Fatty Lin a once-over, and asked, "What kind of discount?"
"10% off!"
Fatty Lin held up one finger and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
"Not bad, I thought you'd give me a 30% discount like you did for Li Qian!" I said.
"The two are different. Lin Qiao's business is a long-term one, and it's all about slow and steady wins the race. If I offer too much of a discount, the losses will be too great. As for Li Qian, I'm lucky if I can do business with her once every few years!" Fatty Lin said.
"Fatty, you're so smart!" I gave Fatty Lin a thumbs up.
"Absolutely!"
Fatty Lin stiffened his neck.
"Is everything alright now?" I asked.
"It's nothing!"
Fatty Lin let out a breath and said, "Tomorrow I'm going to see Second Master and Blind Zuo!"
The next morning, we got up early and set off to see Second Master and Blind Zuo.
Uncle Liu is still the same as ever, not showing any signs of aging.
The blind man's bald head seemed to shine even brighter.
"Second Master, this is yours; Fourth Brother, this is yours!"
After we met, I presented the gift first.
"Wow, pearls from the East China Sea!"
The blind man on the left was not polite at all; he handed over the item and immediately opened it.
"Fourth Brother, look closely, these are old pearls!" Fatty Lin said with his nose in the air.
"Look at you, I didn't know you were from a long time ago!"
Blind Zuo kicked Fatty Lin and said to Second Master Liu, "Second Master, you should open yours too. Fatty Lin is so arrogant, your gift certainly won't be cheap!"
"Let me see!"
Master Liu opened the box, and upon seeing the pine needles inside, his expression changed. He said, "Thirteen, Xiao Lin, this gift is too much!"
"Second Master, it's not heavy, I exchanged it for two talismans!" Fatty Lin said with a smile, holding up two fingers and shaking them.
"You're lying?" Master Liu's expression turned serious.
"Second Master, look at what you're saying, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Fatty Lin said, sounding a little aggrieved.
"I don't know if you're that kind of person, but I do know that you hid Hong Kong magazines under your bed when you were fifteen or sixteen!" the blind man on the left said from the side.
"Fourth Brother, I should have let you die in the woods back then!" Fatty Lin said irritably.
"Who told you to carry me back?"
"Left Blind Man said with a smile."
Fatty Lin was furious.
I watched with great interest from the sidelines. It was rare for Fatty Lin to lose a verbal battle, and seeing him get the short end of the stick was quite amusing.
"Alright, Xiao Lin, tell me, how did you get this Pine Soul Essence?" Master Liu interrupted the two.
"Second Master, I found it at Boss Yang's place!"
Fatty Lin recounted his experience of sourcing goods from Boss Yang.
"As long as you didn't lie!"
After listening, Master Liu nodded and said, "However, you should compensate them where they deserve it. No matter how expensive your talisman is, it can't compare to Song Hunling!"
"Second Master, I know everything. Besides your piece, Crazy and I kept another one. When Crazy finishes making the medicine, I'll send some to Boss Yang. We can't let Boss Yang lose out!" Fatty Lin said.
"That's more like it!" Master Liu nodded in satisfaction and said, "You and Fourth Brother did a good job last time, wiping out that grave on Thousand Island Lake. The Japanese are still determined to destroy us, and the Nine Chrysanthemum lineage will definitely retaliate. You must be careful!"
"Second Master, they've already taken their revenge!" Fatty Lin recounted what had happened on the yacht.
"Oh shit!"
After hearing this, Liu Erye swore.
"Thirteen, you all did a great job, especially Ni'er. She used a curse to kill that person in the street, which served as a deterrent!" said the blind man on the left.
"If this happens again, communicate promptly!" said Master Liu.
"Yes!" I nodded.
After discussing that, we talked about some of the things Japanese people have done over the years, like having children born without an anus.
As we chatted, we started talking about Changbai Mountain.
"Second Master, are you saying that the Japanese have recently set their sights on Changbai Mountain?"
Upon hearing this, the three of us were all taken aback.
"That's right!"
Master Liu nodded.
