"Can’t you bring him out?" Mo Hang glanced at Sima Yan, sneering, "Are you going to claim that your elder is in closed-door cultivation and temporarily unavailable?"
Lin Qingyi remained silent, just waiting for Sima Yan to provide an explanation.
"Our elder has gone out for business and hasn’t returned yet, but he’ll be back soon," Sima Yan quickly explained to Lin Qingyi.
"Oh." Lin Qingyi simply replied with an ’oh’.
"Lord Lin, surely you don’t believe such nonsense?" Mo Hang hurriedly interjected, "It’s clearly just an excuse. Where does this new Grandmaster co from? If a new Grandmaster appeared, wouldn’t your Celestial Sea City already know?"
"Does a new Grandmaster appearing require that my Celestial Sea City report to your Snow Eagle Palace?" Lin Qingyi asked with narrowed eyes.
"No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare." Mo Hang quickly backed down, realizing he had spoken too hastily and annoyed Lin Qingyi.
"Then I’ll wait here." Lin Qingyi leaned back in the chair and said, "You’re handling the lunch at Zhanhe Mansion, right?"
"I heard Zhanzhou has sothing delicious called Zhanzhou Parchicken?" Lin Qingyi asked Sima Yan intently.
"Yes! Yes!" Sima Yan quickly responded, "I’ll quickly send soone to buy it, and if you want anything else for lunch, just let know, and I’ll have it arranged."
"Do as you see fit, I don’t drink alcohol." Lin Qingyi yawned and said, "I rushed over from your Eastern Wilderness early, a bit sleepy; I’ll take a nap. Wake when the food is ready. I need to return to Celestial Sea City in the afternoon, and it would be best if your elder finishes his business and returns by then, otherwise, I won’t be able to help you."
"Certainly, certainly," Sima Yan quickly said, "I’ll arrange a room for you to take a nap."
"No need; I’ll just nap here. I can’t sleep in the room."
After finishing, Lin Qingyi curled up like a cat in the chair and in the next second, began to breathe evenly.
"I’ll wait here too, to see who this new elder of your Zhanhe Mansion is." Mo Hang grandly sat down nearby.
Sima Yan really wanted to kick out Mo Hang, but at this mont, he didn’t have the mood for it.
If the person Li Changqing found still doesn’t show up, he’d be finished.
In Zhanzhou city.
Li Changqing had already arrived, and compared to the bustling Beihan City, Zhanzhou City was quite comparable, yet it gave Li Changqing a more lively and down-to-earth feel.
Upon arriving, Li Changqing didn’t hurry to Zhanhe Mansion but strolled around the streets, checking for suitable locations for the comrce association.
The Evergreen Comrce Association was definitely going to be established, and choosing a location was crucial.
"What a fragrant aroma."
Li Changqing suddenly caught a scent and noticed people queued in front of a shop in the distance.
Approaching, Li Changqing saw it was a shop selling Parchicken.
The shop sign had four big characters.
Zhanzhou Parchicken.
For a mont, Li Changqing felt as if he was back in Dezhou.
But the taste was indeed very authentic; Li Changqing joined the queue, planning to buy one to try.
After a long wait, by the ti it was Li Changqing’s turn, there were only two chickens left.
Unreservedly, Li Changqing got them all, planning to eat one himself and bring the other back to Zhang Siyao, the little girl who also loved chicken.
After a while, the shop was about to close.
Their business was particularly good, and once sold out, they could go ho for the day.
"Shopkeeper!"
At this mont, several disciples from Zhanhe Mansion rushed over, wanting to buy Parchicken.
Upon learning it was sold out, the disciples’ faces changed drastically.
That was for a strong figure from Celestial Sea City, and now that they were out, what would they do? Making more wasn’t an option as there wasn’t enough ti.
Watching others playing chess by the roadside while finishing a whole Parchicken, Li Changqing felt that although the Parchicken was quite good, it still fell short compared to the Dezhou Parchicken of his past life.
But Li Changqing didn’t plan on competing with the shop for business; after all, people needed to make a living too.
However, Li Changqing considered whether to diversify the flavors.
The disciples returned with the news of Parchicken sold out.
Sima Yan felt as if the sky was collapsing.
No elder, no Parchicken—was the end near?
How could he explain this to Lin Qingyi?
"Is the al ready?" At this mont, Lin Qingyi’s lazy voice ca from inside.
Lin Qingyi had woken up!
"Lord Lin," Sima Yan hurried inside, respectfully saying, "It’s almost ready; I’ve prepared so of Zhanzhou’s finest dishes for you."
"Did you get the Parchicken?" Lin Qingyi asked, hands tucked into sleeves, as she stood up.
"This..." Sima Yan awkwardly said, "The Parchicken sold out today, maybe you could stay another day, and I’ll have soone get it for you first thing in the morning."
"Has your elder returned?" Lin Qingyi asked again.
"This..." Sima Yan was almost at a loss for words.
"Got it," Lin Qingyi stretched her neck, then said, "Then I won’t eat, I’m leaving, heading back to Celestial Sea City. Since you don’t have a new Grandmaster, Zhanhe Mansion will give up fifteen slots. This year, just prepare five disciples to attend."
"Snow Eagle Palace Master, ten slots are for you." Lin Qingyi turned, addressing Mo Hang.
"Thank you, Lord Lin." Mo Hang was practically overjoyed.
