Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space
Chapter 163 Li Qingqing Comes Looking
Less than half an hour had passed before Little Sparrow flew back again.
Upon its return, Little Sparrow flew directly in front of Huang Qingling, opened its beak, and a piece of paper dropped out.
Huang Qingling reached out to catch it, glanced at it, and then said to Lin Jing,
"They've received the message and are getting ready. They'll be here shortly…"
Meanwhile, Little Sparrow flew straight to Lin Jing's side.
"Cheep…"
With a chirp, Little Sparrow circled Lin Jing twice, fixing its gaze on Lin Jing's Storage Bag at his waist, then tilted its head back, looking up at Lin Jing.
The message couldn't be clearer: Little Sparrow was asking Lin Jing for its reward.
Lin Jing wasted no words and directly took out the Medium Grade Gathering Yuan Pill from his Storage Bag.
As soon as the Elixir Medicine reached Lin Jing's hand, Little Sparrow transformed into a black streak and charged at Lin Jing.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the pill in Lin Jing's hand disappeared, appearing instead in Little Sparrow's mouth.
Looking smug, Little Sparrow cast a glance at Lin Jing and then opened its mouth to gulp down the pill.
Lin Jing and Huang Qingling watched Little Sparrow and noted that even after swallowing the pill outright, there were no adverse effects; it remained as lively as before.
It wasn't at all like Human Cultivators who would need to sit in meditation and cultivate to refine the medicine's potency.
At that moment, Huang Qingling spoke up,
"Since they said they will arrive shortly, let's tidy up the cooking area first. After all, I haven't used my kitchen in a long while…"
"Sounds good, let's go," Lin Jing replied. Standing up, he walked with Huang Qingling toward the cooking area…
......
After a busy while in the cooking area, they finally had it cleaned up.
Just as they finished and sat down to rest, they heard a knocking sound at the gate.
Hearing the knock, Lin Jing and Huang Qingling exchanged a glance.
"They must have arrived…" said Huang Qingling.
"I'll go get the door."
After Lin Jing spoke, he stood up and went to the entrance.
At the courtyard gate, Lin Jing reached out and swung the gate open.
There stood a beautiful young lady, hand on hip, chest heaving as she panted heavily.
This young woman was none other than Li Qingqing.
Seeing Li Qingqing in this state, Lin Jing asked,
"Cultivator Qing Qing, what's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Qingqing, still catching her breath, said,
"Where's Little Sparrow, where is it?"
"I've come to settle scores with it…"
Given her appearance, it seemed that Li Qingqing had been quite frightened by Little Sparrow.
That's why she looked so flustered upon arrival.
"Little Sparrow is inside…"
"Cultivator Qing Qing, why are you so angry with Little Sparrow?" Lin Jing inquired.
Grinding her teeth fiercely, Li Qingqing said,
"When that Little Sparrow arrived, it deliberately startled me. I must settle this matter with it."
Feeling a bit embarrassed as the instigator, Lin Jing quickly tried to console her,
"Well…"
"Cultivator Qing Qing, there are some reasons for this. Let's not be hasty."
Hearing this, Li Qingqing looked at Lin Jing with confusion,
"There's a reason behind this?"
"Yes…" said Lin Jing.
"By the way, where is your brother?"
Since Lin Jing only saw Li Qingqing and hadn't seen Li Tangyu, he asked.
"Oh, he and Zhang Yuan have gone to buy ingredients," replied Li Qingqing.
"Brother Zhang is here too?"
Lin Jing was surprised and asked Li Qingqing,
"Isn't he practicing a new Cultivation Technique with their Family Patriarch?"
Shortly after their last gathering, Zhang Yuan had entered seclusion with the Zhang Family Patriarch to learn a Cultivation Technique.
He was supposed to finish his training before he could come out.
Looking at it this way, it is likely that the Zhang Family Patriarch wants to cultivate Zhang Yuan as the next Family Head.
Li Qingqing said, "He has just completed his cultivation and came out of seclusion not long ago before he came looking for my brother."
"That's just perfect..."
"Ever since our last gathering, he has been in seclusion, and it's been a long time since I've seen him. Now that he's out, it's just perfect..."
Having said that, Lin Jing opened his mouth and asked,
"Did Zhang Yuan come looking for your brother just after leaving seclusion because something happened?"
"It's not anything serious..."
Li Qingqing started to speak:
"Some of our Li Family and Zhang Family juniors were bullied by others outside, so he came to discuss strategies with my brother."
Lin Jing was surprised and showed an incredulous expression:
"There are people who dare to bully members of your two families in the Fang Market, could it be someone from another clan?"
Li Qingqing shook her head and said:
"It wasn't in Fang Market, it was in the Night Mist Mountain Range, and the person who acted is very mysterious. We still don't know who it was..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about that now, let's go inside."
"Sure..." Lin Jing replied.
Following that...
Lin Jing led the way in front with Li Qingqing following behind, and the two of them walked in.
Upon arriving in the courtyard, Li Qingqing immediately noticed Little Sparrow by Huang Qingling's side.
"Well, Little Sparrow, you actually dare to show up in front of me."
As Li Qingqing spoke, she approached Little Sparrow.
Seeing Li Qingqing, Little Sparrow, whether feeling guilty or for some other reason, did not wait for Li Qingqing to get close.
With a "whoosh," it turned into a streak of black light and shot out, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Leaving Li Qingqing standing there, looking at Little Sparrow's escape, helpless to do anything.
At that moment, Huang Qingling also came over.
"Qingqing, did Little Sparrow scare you?"
"Yes, it really gave me quite a fright..."
Li Qingqing replied subconsciously, then realizing something was amiss, quickly looked at Huang Qingling and said in surprise,
"That's not right, Qing Ling, how did you know..."
A sly smile appeared on Huang Qingling's face.
Seeing this, Lin Jing thought to himself that this was not good, but before he could speak, he was already sold out by Huang Qingling.
"You can't blame Little Sparrow for this, Lin Jing was the one who asked Little Sparrow to scare you."
After Huang Qingling finished speaking, she quickly asked Li Qingqing again:
"And your brother, I also had Little Sparrow scare him, how about it, did he get scared?"
After hearing Huang Qingling's words, Li Qingqing looked at Lin Jing with a look of silent reproach.
"Lin Jing, when did you become so naughty?"
Lin Jing gave an awkward smile:
"Hehe..."
"I saw some changes in Little Sparrow, so I thought to test it out..."
"This way..."
"Later, if you want to eat anything, just tell me. I'll cook for you, as a way to apologize."
After hearing Lin Jing's words, Li Qingqing backed down from that reproachful look.
"You said it..."
"So when my brother and the others arrive, I'll leave it to you."
"No problem."
Lin Jing immediately replied.
Following that...
Li Qingqing then said to Huang Qingling:
"Little Sparrow silently swooped in front of me before I could react, startling me with a jolt, and then it just flew away."
"I was going to settle scores with Little Sparrow, and when I went to my brother, I found out it was both of you inviting us."
"After getting this news from my brother, I came straight here without giving it much thought."
"Maybe you can ask him about it when he arrives later."
"Alright..." said Huang Qingling.
