Making a Friend, Wei Yunshang's Request

After a stick of incense!

Inside the main hall of Clan Chief Lin Yuntang's home in Green Mountain Village.

Lin Changqing and Wei Yunshang sat facing each other, while the maid Yun Zhu stood beside Wei Yunshang. As for the other Wei Family guards, they were all stationed outside the main hall.

On Green Mountain Village's side, only Lin Hu remained.

This was at Lin Changqing's request.

Originally, Lin Changqing had not wanted to bother with Wei Yunshang. However, what she had said a stick of incense ago had changed his mind.

Wei Yunshang said she could provide him with medicinal ingredients at one-tenth of the market price.

That was basically the same as going to Tianhe Town to procure medicinal ingredients themselves.

It could be said that Wei Yunshang had shown more than enough sincerity.

Of course, that was not the only thing Lin Changqing valued. In truth, the price Wei Yunshang offered held no real advantage, because Lin Changqing could simply send people directly to Tianhe Town to procure medicinal ingredients.

It would be the same price.

The main reason he had still brought Wei Yunshang here was that he had his eye on the Wei Family's channels.

The Wei Family controlled more than eighty percent of the medicinal ingredients in Fengle County.

With so many people in Green Mountain Village cultivating martial arts, they would need to consume vast quantities of medicinal ingredients in the future.

For now, Tianhe Town could still meet most of the demand for Returning Origin Powder and Qihuang Black Ginseng Soup. But what about later?

Lin Changqing knew very well that Returning Origin Powder and Qihuang Black Ginseng Soup could not sustain him for a lifetime.

In fact, as his strength increased, Lin Changqing had already realized that medicinal cuisine and medicinal baths were becoming far less effective on him.

He feared that once he completed organ refinement, both Returning Origin Powder and Qihuang Black Ginseng Soup would lose their effects entirely.

When that time came, he would have to find more powerful formulas for medicinal cuisine and medicinal baths.

Different formulas naturally required different medicinal ingredients.

When the time came, Tianhe Town alone would certainly be unable to meet his needs, but the Wei Family could.

"Young Miss Wei, you've sent me gifts and offered to supply me with medicinal ingredients at such a low price. What exactly is it that you want?"

In the main hall, Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Wei Yunshang and said in a deep voice, "There are no outsiders here now.

"If you have something to say, say it plainly!"

"Young Master Lin truly is a direct speaker, speaking his mind without reserve."

Wei Yunshang smiled softly. Since things had already come to this, she no longer put on an act and said bluntly, "Yunshang merely wishes to ask Young Master Lin for a favor..."

"What favor?"

Lin Changqing frowned as he looked at Wei Yunshang.

He did not dare relax in the slightest.

This woman was no simple person. He was afraid that one careless step would see him sold out by her.

"I wish to ask Young Master Lin to help me kill someone." Wei Yunshang's voice suddenly turned cold.

"My apologies. Find someone else!"

Before Wei Yunshang could even finish, Lin Changqing pushed the box containing the Old Mountain Ginseng from before him directly toward her with his right hand. Then, wearing an expression of lofty righteousness, he said, "Young Miss Wei.

"Mr. Lin is a law-abiding citizen. Mr. Lin will not do something illegal like murder.

"You've found the wrong person..."

The moment Wei Yunshang heard this, her face darkened with black lines.

Inside, she cursed Lin Changqing for being utterly shameless.

Law-abiding?

Wouldn't kill people?

Damn you—if you're so law-abiding, then who killed my men in Tianhe Town? And who wiped out all those people in Qingfeng Stockade?

Have you no shame?

At that moment, Wei Yunshang truly wanted to curse him out.

After taking a deep breath, she finally said in a low voice, "Since Young Master Lin has put it that way, then let us pretend Yunshang never said anything.

"However, I still ask that Young Master Lin accept this Old Mountain Ginseng.

"As for my previous promise to provide you with medicinal ingredients at one-tenth of the market price, that remains valid as well.

"Consider it a way of making a friend with Young Master Lin..."

As she spoke, Wei Yunshang immediately pushed the box back before Lin Changqing.

"Hehe..."

Lin Changqing immediately laughed, looking at Wei Yunshang with an amused expression. "Young Miss Wei, you are the Wei Family's eldest young miss."

Wei Zhengming—he should be your brother, right?

You want to be friends with me?

Didn't Wei Zhengming tell you? The grudge between him and me runs deep. I'm not afraid to tell you that once I get the chance, I won't let him off.

Do you still want to be friends with me?"

"Why not?"

Wei Yunshang's face was likewise wreathed in smiles. With a light laugh, she said, "Wei Zhengming is Wei Zhengming, and I, Wei Yunshang, am Wei Yunshang.

Though we are both members of the Wei Family, and brother and sister besides.

Young Master Lin, there is absolutely no need for you to take me into consideration. If Wei Zhengming truly did something to wrong you.

Then if you wish to take revenge, just act as you please.

I absolutely will not interfere..."

"Oh..."

A sharp glint flashed through Lin Changqing's eyes.

He was no fool. How could he still fail to see that Wei Yunshang and Wei Zhengming were likely deeply at odds?

She probably wished for nothing more than his death!

No wonder this woman had smiled so happily when he declared that he would deal with Wei Zhengming.

"Young Miss Wei, when you said earlier that you wanted me to help kill someone, you don't mean you want me to kill Wei Zhengming, do you?" Lin Changqing suddenly said with a light laugh.

"Of course not!"

Wei Yunshang immediately denied it outright, then said with a light laugh, "It is someone else. Whenever Young Master Lin is interested, you may contact me.

As for the reward, I guarantee it will satisfy you..."

As she spoke!

Wei Yunshang suddenly rose to her feet and gave Lin Changqing a graceful bow. "Young Master Lin, Yunshang still has matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer.

If Young Master Lin requires any medicinal ingredients, you may go directly to Hundred Herbs Hall..."

With that, Wei Yunshang truly did leave the Main Hall together with her maid, Yun Zhu.

Lin Changqing frowned deeply, unable to make heads or tails of it.

What exactly did this woman mean?

She had gone to such lengths to come here, bringing gifts and offering concessions on medicinal ingredients.

Shouldn't she have come to ask him to do something? Yet after he refused Wei Yunshang's request, she had not cared in the slightest.

Instead, she had left her gift behind and departed.

What medicine was this woman selling from her gourd?

After seeing Wei Yunshang out of the courtyard of Clan Chief Lin Yuntang's home, Lin Changqing looked at the Five Hundred Year Old Mountain Ginseng on the table and fell into deep thought.

"Changqing, what exactly does this woman mean?"

At this moment, Lin Hu, who had been following Lin Changqing all along, also frowned deeply. Looking utterly perplexed, he asked Lin Changqing, "She gave you such a huge gift for nothing, and you even refused her request.

Not only did she not get angry in the least, she even left with a cheerful smile.

Could something be wrong with her head?"

"Even if something's wrong with yours, nothing would be wrong with hers."

Lin Changqing shot Lin Hu a glare and sneered, "I don't know what this woman is plotting, but I do know this old mountain ginseng is a good thing.

Hmph... I'll accept it.

As for what she wants to do, let her do as she pleases!

So long as she doesn't come provoke me, who cares what she does..."

He could not see through that woman's intentions. Originally, he had considered forcefully hypnotizing her with Spiritual Power to get a clear answer.

But in the end, he gave up on the idea.

It was not that he was soft-hearted or too embarrassed to act.

Rather, this woman was no weakling, and she was deeply calculating. Lin Changqing truly was not confident that he could hypnotize someone like her and question her.

If the process were interrupted midway and Wei Yunshang noticed something.

It would only spoil things instead.

So he simply did nothing.

After all, he was not the one losing out.
