Chapter 532: Chapter 532: 216 Three Questions

Ji Xiyue was known as the number one genius alchemist of the Xingluo Elixir Sect, and her own strength must be extraordinary. If Lin Jing could win against her in the competition,

then even if Lin Jing didn’t answer that question, the result would be the same.

After all, anyone who could defeat the number one talent of the Xingluo Elixir Sect must surely be a descendant of a family with an even longer heritage of the Ancient Alchemy Path.

So,

whether he spoke the answer or not, what difference would it make?

And the bet she proposed was a trap set to prevent Lin Jing from deliberately losing to her.

This woman, she really knows how to scheme.

It’s just unknown whether she has other motives for doing this…

Lin Jing looked at Ji Xiyue, and at this moment, she was still smiling at Lin Jing, waiting for his answer, without any hurry.

“Alright…”

“If you win, I will naturally tell you,” Lin Jing then spoke.

Hearing that Lin Jing had accepted this bet, Ji Xiyue smiled even more joyfully, before asking Lin Jing again:

“Lin Daoyou, I wonder if you have thought about it, if you win, what would you want?”

Lin Jing looked at Ji Xiyue and then spoke directly:

“Since you want me to answer a question for you, correspondingly, if you lose, I need you to answer three questions for me.”

“I wonder what Ji Daoyou thinks about this?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiyue was momentarily startled, then smiled and said:

“Three…”

“Lin Daoyou, you really don’t let yourself be at a disadvantage at all…”

With that said, Ji Xiyue continued:

“Three it is, I’ll take the bet with you!”

“But I don’t know what three questions Lin Daoyou is going to ask?”

Lin Jing replied:

“Those three questions, I haven’t thought of them yet. Once I have, I will naturally tell you.”

“That’s fine then!” Ji Xiyue said.

And so, the affair of the competition was settled between the two of them.

Next.

Lin Jing didn’t stay long here but said goodbye to Ji Xiyue directly and left.

After seeing Lin Jing off, Ji Xiyue stared in the direction he had departed, lost in thought for a long time, wondering what…

………

Upon returning, Lin Jing was immediately surrounded by Lin Jue and Ye Yun.

Lin Jue’s curiosity was indeed quite strong.

“Brother…”

“What did that woman want with you?”

“She even asked to meet you alone; could it be that she’s taken a fancy to you?”

“Cough…”

Upon hearing Lin Jue’s words, Ye Yun coughed and said:

“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate to say…”

“Ye Blockhead, what else could she want by asking to meet my brother alone…” Lin Jue glanced askance at Ye Yun.

“I… I’m not sure…”

Faced with Lin Jue’s strong rebuff, Ye Yun’s momentum immediately waned.

Then, Lin Jue turned back to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing then began to speak:

“She wants to have an alchemy competition with me.”

“An alchemy competition?” Lin Jue and Ye Yun exclaimed in unison, both looking at Lin Jing.

“Could it be because of today’s events? She’s still not convinced, so she wants to regain her honor against you, brother…” Lin Jue said somewhat angrily.

Lin Jing then looked at Lin Jue and said earnestly:

“You…”

“In the future, you should also start to control your temper.”

“Me?” Lin Jue looked at Lin Jing puzzled, very much not understanding: “What about me?”

Lin Jing spoke straightforwardly:

“That Ji Xiyue must have already guessed the identity of our Lin Family’s descendant.”

“Ah?”

“No way!”

Lin Jue suddenly felt a bit guilty, recalling the way Ji Xiyue had seriously observed the elixir medicine at the alchemy room.

“How did she guess? Could it be because of the elixir medicine I made?”

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“That should be the case.”

“Although we now possess a part of the Lin Family’s Alchemy Dao heritage, it is actually only a fraction of the entire Alchemy Dao heritage.”

“The complete Alchemy Dao heritage should include not only the Alchemy Technique but also the identification of Spirit Plants and various Elixir Medicines.

“Especially the Elixir Medicines produced by the various Alchemy Dao noble families, with our current knowledge, we can’t tell any difference at all.”

“But if it were a noble family with the complete heritage of the Alchemy Dao, or another power, they might very well be able to distinguish the differences and, naturally, identify our identities through the Elixir Medicines.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jue immediately lowered her head, full of regret, and said,

“Brother…”

“I was wrong, I really shouldn’t have been so impulsive.”

Lin Jing then spoke, consoling,

“Actually, it’s not entirely your fault…”

“After all, you did it with good intentions, and I only realized this issue after the incident occurred.”

“You just need to be a bit more careful when practicing alchemy in the future.”

Lin Jue nodded, then asked Lin Jing,

“Brother…”

“Now that our identities have been discovered by her, what should we do?”

Lin Jing thought for a moment, then said,

“Actually, it can’t be said that we’ve been exposed, only that she has her suspicions. Her request to compete with me was actually a test.”

“It’s not just a test, but also a stratagem…”

Upon hearing these words, the two of them were lost in a fog, even more clueless as to his meaning.

Lin Jing then shared his own conjectures with them.

Upon hearing them, both seemed troubled.

Lin Jing spoke to comfort them,

“Actually, there’s no need to worry…”

“Even if our identities are exposed, it doesn’t matter.”

“After all, our Lin Family had no previous dealings with the Demon Monster Inner Sea or the Western Demon Region, and Ji Xiyue probably bears us no ill will either.”

“Brother, are you sure?” Lin Jue looked at Lin Jing with doubt.

Lin Jing pondered for a moment, then spoke,

“I feel…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jue was momentarily speechless…

“Brother…”

“You haven’t been bewitched by that woman, have you? You can’t be, Qing Qing is still waiting for you…”

Lin Jing’s face was immediately lined with black…

Lin Jue, this girl, now dared to tease him like this.

Lin Jing then promptly spoke to Lin Jue,

“You should worry about yourself first.”@@novelbin@@

“And there’s Ye Yun, shouldn’t you two decide on your own matters as well?”

“If you two have come to an agreement, I can make the decision and arrange a wedding banquet for you, and then you two will be Dao companions.”

“Master… Master…”

“This… this…”

When it came to these matters, Ye Yun became incredibly nervous, and his face turned red in an instant, he even began to stutter.

Lin Jue was the same, blushing instantly upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, and quickly tried to defend herself,

“This… this matter, we’re not ready for it yet, there’s no rush…”

Lin Jing looked at the two of them, shaking his head helplessly,

“You two, ah…”

“Forget it, you two discuss it amongst yourselves…”

“Understood, brother…”

“You get some rest, we’ll be going now.”

As soon as Lin Jue finished speaking, perhaps afraid that Lin Jing would bring the topic up again, she immediately ran away.

“Master… Master.”

“You rest well, I’m also going back.”

Lin Jing waved his hand at Ye Yun, saying,

“Hmm…”

“Go ahead!”

Afterward, Ye Yun directly gave Lin Jing a bow and left as well…
