"Hmph, you little girl is actually more cunning than the old man."
Mr. Zhang snorted coldly, his originally serious face suddenly relaxed, and instead showed a bit of interest.
Looking at what he said, it turned out that the old man also knew that he was cunning, and Lin Qingqing was speechless.
Mr. Zhang is quite famous in China, and with Ye Lanshan's smart and steady grandson, Lin Qingqing has always felt that he should be a very wise old man. But after meeting him, I realized that this old man still has a bit of an old naughty style.
"Then do you want to change it or not?"
"What do you want to exchange for? I know the contents of both pieces of tortoise shell. If you want to make a deal, you can just hand over that piece."
Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Actually, you also want to know the content on the other tortoise shell. Haha, what are you going to give in exchange?"
Disturbed by the understatement, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but squint her eyes: Could it be that this old man had a premonition that he still had a tortoise shell?
Dealing with prophets is really uncomfortable, because no one can guess what cards they have in hand.
"There is nothing about me that can catch your eye. Besides, what else about China do you not know?"
Lin Qingqing shook her head helplessly. She decided that as long as the other party didn't mention the third tortoise shell, she would pretend she didn't know anything.
Although Lin Qingqing acted flawlessly, Mr. Zhang still subconsciously felt that she was not telling the truth.
The two had been testing each other from the beginning. Now Lin Qingqing took the initiative to show weakness, which seemed to indicate that Mr. Zhang had won.
He looked Lin Qingqing up and down, and after a while, he suddenly said, "I don't think so. Captain Lin still has a zombie king crystal core, doesn't he?"
Lin Qingqing couldn't help but sneer when she heard such a loud statement.
She had already taken a step back, but this old man was still trying to exchange the Zombie King Crystal Core for some useful information. Who would do such a loss-making transaction? Unless she can be sure that the information recorded on the turtle shell is more precious than the Zombie King's crystal core.
Not to mention that the zombie king crystal core has been given to Jiang Ningjun, even if it is on her body now, she cannot take it out to exchange for the tortoise shell now.
"Are you kidding me? You can't use the Zombie King's crystal core for something that you don't even know is useful, even if it's you."
Lin Qingqing's meaning has been very clear. There are only three such precious zombie king crystal nuclei in the entire country of China. Even if they are used to curry favor with a prophet, it is still not cost-effective.
"Captain Lin really doesn't want to change?"
As Mr. Zhang spoke, he turned over his hand and took out a tortoise shell that was almost identical to the tortoise shell in Lin Qingqing's hand.
So this old man really has a third piece of tortoise shell?
Lin Qingqing pursed her lips when she saw this, feeling heartbroken and bleeding. There was no chance now, unless she could kill another zombie king immediately and bring back a crystal core.
"To tell you the truth, I still have some use for the Zombie King Crystal Core. Not to mention a piece of tortoise shell, I can't replace it with ten more if you take it out."
Lin Qingqing felt regretful, but now that she knew that the third tortoise shell was in the hands of Mr. Zhang, it would be easier to deal with it. She could just wait until there are other opportunities in the future, or wait until she has more trump cards before trading with him.
The strength of the Qingmang team is not bad, so now Lin Qingqing is not very obsessed with the original meditation technique. She wanted to know the secret behind the tortoise shell more than meditation techniques.
But the secret cannot be revealed in a moment, and Lin Qingqing has plenty of time.
"Then there's no way."
Seeing the flash of regret in Lin Qingqing's eyes, Mr. Zhang changed the topic and smiled kindly.
"You're a little girl, but you're very smart, but it's not a bad thing to be too smart in this world. Haha, Lin family girl, what do you think of our Blue Mountain?"
The words "Girl of the Lin family" made Lin Qingqing's hair stand up. She had not been called that by anyone for twenty years. Although the other person was old enough to be her grandfather, the sudden appearance of such an intimate title made Lin Qingqing instinctively Some discomfort.
What's more, weren't they talking about tortoise shells just now? Why did you suddenly involve Ye Lanshan? What is the relationship between his grandson and himself...
Lin Qingqing had a doubt in her heart, but then she paused and clicked her tongue secretly.
——What does this old man mean? Want to get us together as a couple? No way, Ye Lanshan, a perfect man, is still worried about not being able to find a suitable partner?
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qingqing decided to tell the truth.
"Major Ye is very good in all aspects, but there is one thing..."
"What?" Seeing that the other party was hesitant to speak, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, it's just...he's too smart."
What reason is this? Can being smart be a disadvantage?
Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that this girl obviously had no special thoughts about Lanshan, but she was not disgusted either.
Glancing at the next room, Mr. Zhang's eyes flashed with light.
"You have a point. Being too smart can sometimes make people annoying, but he is not the only smart person in this world, and you, the Lin family girl, are one of them."
Lin Qingqing's scalp was numb when she heard the sentence "Lin Family Girl" on the left and "Lin Family Girl" on the right. However, what made her scalp numb even more was yet to come.
After speaking, Mr. Zhang threw the tortoise shell in his hand on the tea table, and then looked at Lin Qingqing's surprised look and said: "If the Lin family girl wants a tortoise shell, she can exchange it for a zombie king crystal core. If she doesn't have it now, she can pay for it first." .”
Lin Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the tortoise shell pieces so close to her.
What does this old man mean? Is he planning to give the tortoise shell piece to himself now? this……
The surprise came so quickly that Lin Qingqing didn't dare to take it.
The other party had been in danger for her for so long, so why did she suddenly become so cheerful? Is there any trap here?
Lin Qingqing didn't feel a loss for exchanging a zombie king crystal core for a tortoise shell. What's more, the other party didn't set a time limit for her. From this point of view, she took advantage of this transaction.
"What? Don't you dare to answer?"
As if he saw the hesitation in her heart, Mr. Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Or are you not confident in your abilities?"
"That's not true."
Lin Qingqing has never doubted her own abilities. What's more, if she gets the three turtle shells, she will have the complete original meditation technique. She will definitely have the confidence to kill a zombie king in the future.
After thinking for a long time, she really couldn't find any trap here. Lin Qingqing decided in her heart and decisively picked up the tortoise shell piece on the table.
"Then thank you in advance, junior!"
"So good!"
Mr. Zhang smiled and stroked his beard, his eyes flashing with an invisible light.
Coming out of the study, Lin Qingqing still felt like she was dreaming.
Is this how you got the third piece of tortoise shell?
After carefully understanding the conversation just now, Lin Qingqing became more and more puzzled. Since Mr. Zhang had planned to exchange the tortoise shell for the Zombie King Crystal Core in his hand from the beginning, what was he doing with the previous series of trials? What does he want from himself?
"Grandpa, what exactly are you testing Captain Lin for?"
In the study, Ye Lanshan also asked the same question.
He was just next door and heard the conversation between the two of them word for word. He was surprised that Lin Qingqing was holding his own piece of tortoise shell in his hand. What was even more strange was that his grandfather actually gave the other piece of tortoise shell to him in the end.
An unlimited time transaction is no different from giving it directly to the other party.
"You have the nerve to say that you are in your thirties and you can't even bring back a wife, which makes me have to worry about you at such an old age."
Mr. Zhang looked like he hated iron, which made Ye Lanshan's mouth twitch slightly.
"Don't use me as a raft. In your eyes, your grandson-in-law is not as important as that piece of tortoise shell!"
"Nonsense! How can I have a great-grandson without a grandson-in-law?"
master
As soon as Zi glared, Ye Lanshan suddenly looked up to the sky speechlessly.
"Your great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren total five in total! They kowtowed to you one by one this morning to celebrate your birthday, but it only took a cup of tea. Did you forget them all?"
"You kid...you are so ungrateful!"
Mr. Zhang was so angry that his beard stood up.
Seeing this, Ye Lanshan sighed, "The birthday banquet will start soon. If you don't tell me, I will go down now and continue to entertain the guests."
"Huh, what do you want to know?"
"Why did you give the tortoise shell piece to Lin Qingqing?"
"That's my thing, I can give it to whoever I want."
Ye Lanshan choked, knowing that the answer to this question was impossible, so he asked the next question, "Did you find anything on Lin Qingqing?"
"This woman has an unusually strong temperament. No threats or inducements have any effect on her. She is also smart and calm. What's even more rare is her eyes."
"What's wrong with the eyes?" Ye Lanshan was very curious.
"If you were her, what would your attitude be if you were teased like that by me just now?"
Mr. Zhang did not speak directly, but asked him what he thought.
"You won't get angry out of shame, but you will definitely get angry." Ye Lanshan answered truthfully.
If Lin Qingqing was a very proud and conceited person, she would have been resentful long ago.
"Yes, that's it. Keqi is surprised that this girl's eyes are always the same."
"calm?"
"No, she is peaceful and upright. That's why I said she has a very strong mind. And it is especially rare to appear at such a young age."
Seeing that Ye Lanshan was thoughtful, Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and continued: "As you can see, her character and skills are definitely qualified for the position of the Zhang family's mistress. Anyway, grandpa has already set up the line for you. It’s up to you what to do when you come down!”
Ye Lanshan: "..."
No joke? Why are you talking about him again?
Here, after sending Ye Lanshan out to entertain the guests, Mr. Zhang changed his previous joking and dialed a secret phone number with a serious face.
"Hello?"
"It's me, I just met Lin Qingqing..."
Mr. Zhang recounted the conversation between the two of them in detail, and the other party was silent for a while before asking.
"How does it compare to the others?"
"……Hard to say."
"It's hard to say? How about comparing it with your Lanshan family? Or the Wen family's Wen Jingting and Yuan Zhen?"
"This girl is too calm...but it is undeniable that she is a rare and good prospect."
"Indeed, being able to kill three zombie kings in a row is not something that just anyone can do."
Hearing Mr. Zhang's comments, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly softened a lot. If you listen carefully, you can also hear a trace of imperceptible pride and pride.
The two chatted for a few more words until Ye Lanshan knocked on the door again and then hung up the phone.
The birthday banquet was about to begin, and Mr. Zhang let Ye Lanshan help him organize his clothes.
The three tortoise shells have been gathered, and it’s time for the remaining one to appear!
