Chapter 26 'Cousins', Lin Xin's Deal

Xingyuan didn't say anything. He hid from the other people in the room and stuffed his magic crystal card into Lin Xin's pocket.

Lin Xin responded with a grateful expression and went to check out with the staff who had already delivered the items to the door.

"Xingyuan, are you really brothers?"

Although Xingyuan's actions were very covert, Lin Jialu and Li Xin did not notice anything and thought that the two were just having a simple conversation in a low voice.

However, all this did not escape Long Haochen's attention. He noticed that Xingyuan stuffed something into Lin Xin's pocket, and then Lin Xin took out the magic crystal card from it to pay.

In other words, in the end, these ten thousand gold coins were given to him by Xingyuan?
However, Long Haochen did not reveal it on the spot, after all, he got the stone that Haoyue wanted.

But he didn’t understand why Xingyuan would help Lin Xin like this.

He originally thought that the two were just ordinary colleagues, but it seemed that was not the case.

Hearing Long Haochen's question, the two women in the room shifted their attention to Xingyuan. It was obvious that they were also very curious.

After all, the two have completely opposite personalities and don't look alike at all, so they don't look like brothers at all.

Xingyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course."

"..."

Lin Xin came back with the stones he had just bought.

But before he could push the cart in front of Long Haochen and let him take a look to confirm whether it was the stone he wanted.

A lightning-fast figure flashed past, the cart became empty, and the whole room became quiet.

Just now, it seems that someone ate 10,000 gold coins...

No, it’s the big black lizard Haoyue.

Lin Xin was confused again. Looking at Haoyue, who looked comfortable as if he had tasted the most delicious food in the world, he stammered and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Brother Lin Xin, I originally bought this stone for Haoyue."

Long Haochen also felt the corners of his mouth twitching. He thought that even if Haoyue wanted to eat the stone, he shouldn't be so impatient, which made him feel awkward.

Moreover, after eating, Haoyue told him that he was sleepy and disappeared just like when he came.

"Let's not talk about this, Brother Lin Xin."

Long Haochen was a little embarrassed. "Tell me the deal you want to make with me. I will return the ten thousand gold coins to you."

"I said you don't have to pay it back if the deal is done."

Lin Xin shook his head, took off the storage ring in his hand, pushed it onto the table, and a pile of exquisitely designed small porcelain bottles appeared.

Just like the original plot, Lin Xin first introduced the uses of these pills one by one, including those for improving external spiritual power, those for restoring internal spiritual power, and those for assisting in cultivation. These pills would enable Long Haochen to improve his cultivation faster and break through to the fifth level of spiritual power as soon as possible.

Lin Xin said that these pills, along with the 10,000 gold coins used to buy the stones, could be given to Long Haochen for free.

In exchange, he only had to promise that if he got into the top three in the Demon Hunting Team selection competition, he would designate Lin Xin as the first teammate to join the team.

“It’s an investment.”

Seeing that Long Haochen was puzzled by his behavior, Lin Xin explained: "This is indeed a gamble, but I have confidence in you, Haochen."

Long Haochen thought that he himself had no confidence in himself, and glanced at Xing Yuan who was sitting next to him and watching quietly.

"I'll tell you the truth. I'm not that strong, so I want to find someone with potential to invest in. I want to use this opportunity to join a demon hunting team that's ranked higher and has stronger overall strength."

"If Haochen really has the ability to enter the top three in the finals, why doesn't he choose stronger teammates?"

Li Xin couldn't understand why Lin Xin was willing to spend so much money just to get a verbal promise from Long Haochen.

She looked at Xingyuan who was sitting beside her with an expression that said it was none of her business. "What if you choose Xingyuan as your teammate?"

"I will refuse." However, before Lin Xin could answer, Xingyuan, who was mentioned, stood up first and said, "I have already thought about my teammates.

...Don't look at Lin Xin, I'm not talking about him, and there can only be one magician member in a demon hunting team."

Xing Yuan coughed twice, then looked at Long Haochen, "Finally, you have to be at least level five to be able to fight with me.

You are not enough now."

After saying that, Xingyuan pushed the door open and walked out, no longer watching the transaction process between the few people.

He believed that with Lin Xin's eloquence and his own efforts to add fuel to the fire, Long Haochen would definitely agree to the deal with Lin Xin.

It's a very simple truth. At this time, Long Haochen did not have the strength to enter the top three in the finals.

The same was true for him in the original world line. Without the pills provided by Lin Xin, he would definitely not have been able to achieve good results in this year's Demon Hunter Group selection competition.

In addition, Long Haochen was not bound by emotions at the moment, so he had no worries at all in choosing Lin Xin as his teammate.

Xingyuan was very curious, would Long Haochen be stronger after cutting off his emotional roots?
After all, all my energy is put into cultivation.

He didn't think that he had snatched Cai'er away. After all, in this world line, he and Cai'er had been together since birth. He, Long Haochen, might not even know that there was such a person as Cai'er in the world, so how could he have snatched Cai'er away?
Not long after, Lin Xin pushed the door open and walked in.

The two black messenger VIPs each had a VIP box. After Xingyuan came out, he went back to his room to rest.

"Sent away?"

Xingyuan asked, "Is it done?"

"Ah."

Lin Xin nodded and returned Xingyuan's magic crystal card to him, "Thank you for saving my face."

"Small things."

Xingyuan didn't mention paying back the money. He knew Lin Xin's character and knew that the 10,000 gold coins would be returned in another form in due time, no more and no less.

"We are the carriage for tomorrow morning, don't forget."

Xingyuan put away the magic crystal card and said, "The temple has probably been waiting for us for a long time. We can't wait until the official start of the competition to go there. I have other things to do."

Lin Xin chuckled, "I know, I know! It's just to meet your fiancée."

Xingyuan was not annoyed, but glared at Lin Xin, "If you know it, why don't you go and clean it up."

……

The matter in Amy City has finally come to an end. Xingyuan, feeling like a huge stone in his heart has finally settled down, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to worry about the trivial matters between Lin Xin and Long Haochen, and can focus all my attention on Cai'er, whom I will meet next.

Cai'er must have had a very difficult time over the years, especially when she entered the second stage of the test of the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace. She is temporarily unable to see now.

This is a bit nerve-wracking...

Xingyuan, who was combing his hair in front of the mirror, suddenly stopped what he was doing, took out his set of alchemy tools from his storage ring, and started to tinker with them.

Lin Xin took a look and immediately became interested.

He knew that Xingyuan's potion skills were not inferior to his.

If Xingyuan hadn't just been interested in making potions, he would have been as famous as me in the Alchemist Association...

Noticing the materials Xingyuan took out from the storage ring, Lin Xin's expression became strange.

"Aren't you making medicine?"

　I recommend another book. It is worth reading if you are short of books. It is better than Food and Grass. It is written by an experienced author and the quality is guaranteed.
