Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Little Junior Sister, You’re Not Taking Advantage of Me, Are You?

"Lin Fan, you’re here!"

At the door of Medicine King House.

Li Qiqi, who had been eagerly waiting, saw Lin Fan get out of the taxi.

She immediately ran towards him at a quick pace.

Every time they met, she would excitedly throw herself into his arms.

"How come you have dark circles under your eyes, and you smell so strongly of medicinal herbs? What have you been busy with?"

Holding the delicate Li Qiqi, Lin Fan curiously asked.

"I’m studying traditional Chinese medicine knowledge, after all, my grandfather is the Divine Doctor, and as his granddaughter, of course, I should work hard to learn. Plus, I’ve found that there’s an intricate connection between Chinese medicine and gourmet food. Will you come over for dinner tonight, and give another try to the dishes I make, please?"

Li Qiqi clung to Lin Fan’s neck, playfully pleading.

"Are you sure you’re not going to murder me?"

Having experienced Li Qiqi’s cooking skills, Lin Fan was somewhat apprehensive.

After all, although it wouldn’t poison him to death,

it was truly hard to swallow.

"Don’t worry, I would never murder my husband. If it’s really unpalatable, just don’t eat it, okay?"

Li Qiqi looked at Lin Fan with a pleading face.

She had put a lot of effort into this meal.

"Alright, alright, but I need to talk to that fierce woman about something."

Lin Fan doted on her, playfully pinching Li Qiqi’s nose.

This type of affection was more like the care of an older brother.

After all, Li Qiqi was indeed very cute.

The absolute image of a little lolita princess.

"Then it’s settled, you must come back for dinner tonight."

Li Qiqi shouted excitedly.

Hopping and skipping, she ran toward the kitchen.

The dish she was going to make tonight was not from the eight major cuisines.

Instead, it was the unique recipe from the Five Poison Sect.

Of course, Lin Fan had no idea about its mystery.

Turning through the corridor, he made his way to the cross courtyard.

At this moment, Zhao Jiaqi was still wearing a hot, super short skirt.

Her white camisole complemented her stunning face.

Just sitting there, one could feel the fiery aura emanating from her.

However, the usually noisy her

was now holding a book, sitting in the courtyard.

Her focused appearance showed she was really applying herself.

"Pikachu, you’re holding your book upside down,"

Lin Fan said with a smiling face as he entered the courtyard.

Hearing this, Zhao Jiaqi was taken aback.

Instinctively, she flipped the book around, only to realize that now it was upside down.

"You creep, stop disturbing my reading."

Zhao Jiaqi glared at Lin Fan fiercely.

Just thinking about Grandfather Zhou Weimin’s urge to marry her off made her even angrier.

"If you were really reading, how could you not know whether it was upside down or not? I heard your footsteps earlier, can’t you just be less nosy?"

Lin Fan said while sitting at the stone table, smiling.

She had clearly made it to the door a moment ago, only she did not show her face.

"That’s called being vigilant, not nosy,"

Zhao Jiaqi put the book on the table.

Squinting her eyes, she sized up Lin Fan, "Did you call Qi Qi just now to ask if I was around, do you need something from me?"

"How can you say I’m asking for something, it’s just a mutual exchange, after all. Since you come from a lineage of Maoshan Taoists, I was hoping to exchange some knowledge with you.",

Lin Fan looked at the charming lady.

Zhao Jiaqi, despite her beauty,

was definitely not dumb.

Just from her previous pretense, one could see she was full of tricks.

Shangguan Min Yue, who possessed the Treasured Triple Mystical Meridians, would absolutely be a fool in front of her.

"Don’t even try it, I don’t have the time to discuss anything with you, I need to study,"

Zhao Jiaqi snorted coldly and stood up to leave.

She had guessed that Lin Fan surely needed something from her.

If she didn’t take advantage of this situation,

I wouldn’t know when the opportunity would come then.

"Alright, stop pretending to be so busy. Qi Qi just said you were bored and wanted to hang out with her,"

Lin Fan leaned on the stone table, turned his head, and smiled at Zhao Jiaqi.

This clever and quirky woman was definitely not easy to deal with.

"Can’t I suddenly feel like reading a book, and that’s none of your business, is it?"

Zhao Jiaqi stood with her hands behind her back, pouting her lips.

The ponytail tied at the back of her head swung back and forth.

"I won’t beat around the bush anymore, I really have something I need to ask you about."

Lin Fan knew that talking in circles with her could waste God knows how much time.

It would be better to be direct.

"Oh, so you do have something to ask of me?"

Zhao Jiaqi suddenly revealed a mischievous smile.

Everything was just as she had expected.

She suddenly felt very happy to have a chance to get a grip on Lin Fan.

"So, just state your terms,"

Lin Fan shrugged helplessly.

About that mysterious rune, he had already called Jiangning’s number one troublemaker, Zheng Tianxiang.

But his answer was that he didn’t recognize it either.

That object, resembling but not quite a cauldron or a furnace, was still locked away in his private safe.

He had also frequently studied it during this time.

But he had asked all over his circle of friends.

Yet he couldn’t find even the slightest clue.

This was really too strange.

So, the normal collectibles circle, he feared, was unlikely to have the answer.

Now he could only try seeking out the Banshan Taoist.

After all, the Touching Gold Captain, the Spirit Medium, the Banshan and the Xieling are the true ancestors of the antiquities world.

The treasures they come across are often illicit goods not circulating in the market.

"Is this how you ask someone for a favor?"

Zhao Jiaqi walked back in front of Lin Fan with a smug face.

In her mind, she was already pondering.

If she could really take this guy down a notch.

"So what do you want? Little junior sister, you’re not going to take this opportunity to take advantage of me, are you?"

Lin Fan lounged with one leg over the other, a roguish grin on his face.

"Don’t flatter yourself. With the way you look, even if I were blind, I wouldn’t take advantage of you!"

His words instantly reminded Zhao Jiaqi of yesterday’s marriage pressure.

Anger flared up in her mind once again.

"Then I can rest easy. Just tell me your demands, and as long as they’re not too difficult for me, like sleeping with you or something, I can agree to them,"

Lin Fan said, rubbing his chin.

He had to admit, an angry Zhao Jiaqi was quite amusing.

"So you’re teasing me while asking for a favor, huh? Fine... then I won’t do it,"

Zhao Jiaqi bellowed angrily.

"If you won’t, then you won’t. You’re not the only Banshan Taoist in the world, and besides, I’ve heard the Touching Gold Captain is way more powerful than the Banshan Taoist. I’ll find an experienced Touching Gold Captain, and he’ll be a hundred times better than you."

Lin Fan was naturally not going to be so easily manipulated.

With those words, he got up to leave.

"You stop right there!"

As expected, Zhao Jiaqi, fuming with rage, blocked his way.

"Who told you that the Touching Gold Captain is more powerful than the Maoshan Taoist? You believe I won’t tear up your mouth?"

The four schools of grave-robbing, have always been squabbling over their ranking.

As a disciple of a Banshan Taoist, Zhao Jiaqi naturally couldn’t allow the master’s reputation to be insulted.

"Hey, I’m not the one who said it,"

Lin Fan spread his hands and said.

"Then who did?"

Zhao Jiaqi glared at him fiercely.

Seeing her take the bait, Lin Fan revealed a sly smile.

"The audience said it. Haven’t you seen that they’ve made a movie about it, and it’s a big hit? Your Banshan Taoist is just a side character, so obviously the Touching Gold Captain is more badass!"

"You’re full of crap!"
