Chapter 357: They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what’s the point of playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Liao Zhai?
Both Lin Zhiqing and Yan Yu were well aware that they were weighing each other's abilities.
Coincidentally, they both met each other's requirements.
Lin Zhiqing achieved his goal of retrialing Lin Congyan's case by taking advantage of the situation.
Yan Yu didn't know how he managed to avoid the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and brought the people from Wanliu Pavilion to the capital.
The two of them actually had some tacit understanding on this matter, and were not at all ambiguous about testing each other's abilities.
Smart people speak to the point.
Lin Zhiqing was certain that Yan Wu wanted to help the Lin family clear their grievances. He looked at the carefree Yan Wu and said:
"Let me be frank. What I cannot tolerate most is betrayal. I won't ask about your dispute with Zheng Kuo and my father."
"From now on, you will stay in the Lin family as my savior, but you are not allowed to wander around."
"Not allowed to wander around? Do you want to imprison me?" Yan Wu opened his mouth exaggeratedly.
Lin Zhiqing threw a teacup over without mercy.
Yan Wu quickly turned his head, and when he looked up, he already had the teacup in his mouth.
He also winked at Lin Zhiqing.
"You're sick!" Lin Zhiqing rolled his eyes.
"In short, you are not allowed to go out and cause trouble before I give the order."
"I know, Skeleton Demon." Yan Wu took the teacup in his hand and played with it.
Lin Zhiqing didn't bother to correct his address: "Also, I have another task for you."
"What mission?" Yan Yu stretched lazily.
Lin Zhiqing got up and returned to the inner room.
Yan Wu watched with great interest from outside, and did not forget to speak:
"Why don't you just invite me in? Why are you being so formal?"
"Shut up!" Lin Zhiqing took a brocade box, slowly walked to the table, and put the box down.
Yan Wu was a restless person. He opened the box and saw the Wangshu Mirror inside. He raised his eyebrows:
"What, are you planning to let me use your bronze mirror to cheat people?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiqing knew that Yan Yu had guessed his thoughts.
So, Lin Zhiqing got straight to the point and said, "You know Wang Shujian. He can mobilize some people and find some hidden Lin family assets."
"Of course, I have no intention of giving it to you."
Yan Wu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What's the point of all that talk?"
Lin Zhiqing spoke slowly, "Don't worry. I've already found some people with the Wangshu Mirror, but they're quite scattered."
"Besides, I'm busy with my daily work and don't have the time to manage and train these people."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Yan Wu shook his head. "Even the best butcher can't lift a knife without a pig. What are you thinking, leaving so many elite soldiers unused?"
"It's not the time to use them at all. I can still handle the current situation on my own." Lin Zhiqing said calmly:
"I originally wanted to let my cousin take over these people, but my cousin is not in good health now, so she definitely can't be distracted."
"After you gather these people, it's best to train them again. Also, send a few smart people to gather information."
"What news?" Finally, they got to the point, and Yan Yu's eyes lit up.
Under his expectant gaze, Lin Zhiqing slowly spoke: "Go and ask if there is a doctor who can treat damaged meridians. I will pay a large sum of money and must bring the person back."
Yan Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Zhiqing to give this order.
However, the impetuous girl from the Lin family is indeed quite pitiful.
Thinking of this, he nodded: "I'll go there reluctantly, but didn't you just tell me not to go out?"
"I told you not to wander around. We have something important to do right now, so don't generalize." Lin Zhiqing gave Yan Yu a warning look:
"I have all the people from Wanliu Pavilion in my hands. Please consider this carefully."
"Wow, I'm so scared." Yan Yu covered her chest with her hands, looking like a bullied girl.
But he knew very well that Lin Zhiqing would not do anything to the people of Wanliu Pavilion.
In Yan Yu's eyes, Lin Zhiqing was a good person in every way, except for one thing: he was too loyal.
It is the case for Zheng Kuo, it is the case for Lin Yangyang, and it is even more so for the Lin family.
For those in power, being loyal and righteous is not an advantage.
Lin Zhiqing's father, Lin Congrong, is a good example.
However, Yan Yu did not say these words out loud. He was affectionate towards Lin Zhiqing on the surface, but it was far from the kind of relationship where they could talk about anything.
After doing all this, Lin Zhiqing felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She handed the jade flute under the Wangshu Mirror to Yan Wu:
"This thing has a similar function to the Wangshu Mirror. If you take it, those people will obey you."
Yan Wu took the flute and said, "You're quite clever. If you won't give me the Wangshu Mirror, can you give me a replacement?"
Lin Zhiqing certainly knew that he was very smart.
After using the Wangshu Mirror to gain control of those connections, she immediately made the jade flute public as a second token of control over everyone.
But Wangshujian always ranks first, one level higher than Yudi.
The advantage of doing this is that when Lin Zhiqing is unable to handle everything, he doesn't have to hand over such an important thing as the Wangshu Mirror to others, and he can also let someone use the jade flute to control those people.
Even if someone does something bad and wants to steal Yu Di and control those people, Lin Zhiqing can use Wangshujian to suppress Yu Di.
This approach can be said to eliminate from the root the possibility that someone will use her token to do something bad and she will be helpless.
Even Yan Wu had to praise his cleverness.
"Okay, go ahead. I'm so sleepy." Lin Zhiqing yawned.
"Are you sleepy? Just don't hide in the quilt and cry secretly." Yan Yu smiled and turned away.
Lin Zhiqing sniffed. Yan Yu was such a disgusting person.
But the Lin family now thinks that he is Lin Zhiqing's savior, and knowing that he is from Yongqing, they are quite nice to him.
The room soon became quiet. Lin Zhiqing shook his head and couldn't help but think of Lu Huai again.
She sighed lightly, took out the Wangshu Mirror from the brocade box, and hung it around her waist.
Then, she turned her attention to the bottom of the brocade box.
Lifting the cloth on top, the clear jade abacus comes into view.
Lin Zhiqing's fingertips brushed across the jade abacus, and he felt uncomfortable.
She wanted to completely break up with Lu Huai, but she found it hard to let go in her heart, yet she also felt that she would always lose him.
All the emotions kept fighting in her mind, making her unable to decide whether to keep or give up this jade abacus.
Lu Huai's words kept echoing in her mind.
Why would you rather believe in some established knowledge than look into your own heart?
She touched her heart and found that it seemed to be beating very fast.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and put the jade abacus back into the brocade box.
Forget it, let Chaoyan send it back another day.
In Dasheng, Lin Zhiqing can only rely on herself and her knowledge of mind analysis.
