Lin Jingge felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.

"It's not that powerful. I don't even know if the protective function of this bell has been restored. What if only the appearance has been repaired? You shouldn't have too high hopes." Lin Jingge explained again, afraid that the other party would think that the bell could protect them and misuse it, leading to their death.

He then returned the spirit stones in his arms, keeping only one for himself: "It's not considered a successful repair yet, so I'll just take one."

"It's alright, I've given up on it. I'm already satisfied as long as it's intact. You don't know, this is the only thing my mother left me." The vendor's eyes welled up with tears when he mentioned his mother. He unconsciously gripped the bell tightly in his hand and tossed the spirit stone that Lin Jingge had returned back to her.

"Alright, alright, you two don't need to worry about it anymore. Let this old man take a look and see if this thing has been repaired or not." Having watched the commotion to his heart's content, Old Qin stroked his braided beard and snatched the bell from the vendor's hand.

"Hey! My bell!" The vendor immediately tried to snatch it, but stopped after recognizing the man's face. Clearly, he recognized Old Qin.

Old Qin examined the exquisite bell in his hand with great interest, turning it over and over, before finally inputting some spiritual energy for testing.

The vendor watched Old Qin very warily, afraid that he wouldn't return the bell.

Lin Jingge looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared with a puzzled expression, her gaze sweeping over the stall vendor and his body.

No matter how eccentric Old Qin's temper was, he had no interest in coveting other people's things.

After the test, the bell was returned to the vendor.

"This bell has been completely repaired, both in appearance and properties," Elder Qin said.

His identity alone made his words highly credible, and the street vendors believed him without a doubt.

"Is it really fixed?" Lin Jingge still found it hard to believe. In her opinion, that last stroke was a mistake, but in the eyes of the two people in front of her, the bell was repaired perfectly, and no one noticed that stroke at all.

What frightened Lin Jingge even more was that if the other party wanted to use the bell for protection but found that it was useless, then she would have essentially killed someone.

"Don't worry, Old Qin wouldn't lie. If he says it's fixed, then it must be fixed," the vendor reassured Lin Jingge.

He believed Qin Lao's words without a doubt.

Lin Jingge's strange gaze shifted back and forth between the two of them.

A question arose in my mind: Just who is this Old Qin? How could he make someone believe him with just a few words?

[Gege, that's the old man who's been watching you! Be careful of him, he definitely has ulterior motives!]

Xiao Shi's voice rang in Lin Jingge's mind. Listening to Xiao Shi's conspiracy theories, Lin Jingge was both amused and exasperated.

[No way, he's old enough to be my grandfather, what could he possibly want from me?]

[Don't you believe me, Gege? I'm really good at judging people!] Xiao Shi was a little unhappy after being refuted by Lin Jingge. She snorted coldly and then declared, [Just you wait, the old fox will eventually show his tail!]

Xiao Shi was convinced of his own deduction; the old man's gaze towards his Gege was completely out of place!

The sky was beginning to darken.

The vendors were already packing up, and Lin Jingge was also busy packing up.

Old Qin stared at Lin Jingge and rubbed his hands together in a somewhat lewd manner.

Xiao Shi immediately got angry when he saw the other person's action.

"Gege, look! The fox is showing its tail!" Xiao Shi roared, making Lin Jingge, who was still packing her things, look up.

But at that moment, a clear and melodious voice rang out: "Master, why are you still here? Where is the person my father sent to invite you?"

The newcomer was a delicate young woman, wearing a thin, strapless pink dress underneath a layer of gauze. Her red lips contrasted with her fair skin, and she was heavily made up. As she walked over, she brought with her a fragrant breeze.

"No! No, please don't call me master. I haven't agreed to take you as my apprentice yet!" Old Qin quickly jumped back a step, moving away from this delicate young lady: "My abilities are limited. I can't teach you, Miss Su. Besides, I've already found an apprentice who satisfies me."

Old Qin refused decisively, showing no leniency whatsoever just because the other party was a delicate young lady.

"What?! You have a satisfactory apprentice?!" the woman exclaimed in disbelief, then quickly composed herself. "I know it was my blind servant who upset you, but you don't need to make up lies to deceive me..."

Old Master Qin was not happy to hear this, and immediately frowned: "Who is lying to you? What do you have that I would lie to?!"

Old Qin is known for speaking objectively, not personally.

After he said that, the delicate young lady's face stiffened, and she instantly showed a wronged expression.

Lin Jingge and the street vendors slowed down their movements, tacitly observing and quietly enjoying the show.

However, to Lin Jingge's surprise, what she was doing casually eating melon seeds ended up affecting her.

When she saw Old Qin looking at her, Lin Jingge already had a bad feeling.

She tried her best to cast a disapproving glance at Old Qin, but he seemed blind to her meaning. Even though he clearly understood what she meant, he still spoke up.

"She is the disciple I intend to take on!"

Then Lin Jingge was rewarded with the woman's resentful gaze.

Oh dear, I was just sitting on the street when disaster struck from the sky.

She took a closer look at the delicate-looking young lady.

Suddenly, they discovered that the other party was very supportive of Chu Wang's harem.

Beauty, family background, delicate and charming...

She only thought it that way, but who knew that Xiaoshi would actually search its own memories.

"How could that be?! She's a weapon refiner, and you're a formation master. They're completely unrelated. How could you possibly take her as your disciple?" The woman paused, then continued, "Are you trying to fool me with just anyone? If you don't want to take me as your disciple, just say so. Why insult me ​​like this!"

After hearing this, Lin Jingge didn't know how Old Qin would react; she just felt goosebumps all over her body.

She's caught up in her old habit of making others feel awkward again; saying those words in a strained voice is really embarrassing!

As for whether this woman was part of Chu Wang's harem, Lin Jingge felt it was most likely so...

Before Lin Jingge could find any more evidence, Xiao Shi had already retrieved it.

Su Ru, the eldest daughter of the Su family, the head of the three major families of Fengyuncheng, is a well-known genius. She broke through to become a Great Spirit Master at a young age and is also a second-tier array master.

Chu Wang's third concubine, with her seemingly delicate appearance but secretly wild and unreasonable nature, created a charming contrast, making her one of the women Chu Wang particularly favored.
