Chapter 9: Seriously, What’s The Point Pretending If You Don’t Have The Strength?

“Why would I say something like that on a whim?”

Lin Tian muttered to himself unhappily as he walked into the courtyard of the Lin family.

At this moment, Lin Tian was holding an embroidered purse with a hundred taels of gold in it. This was the reward given to him by the head of the Lin family.

It would definitely be a vast sum of money for Lin Tian if this was before.

However, after getting 400 spirit stones from the help system, this 100 taels of gold was just a tiny amount of money.

According to the exchange rate of this fantasy world, one spirit stone could be exchanged for 100 taels of gold.

In other words, Lin Tian now had 40,000 taels of gold on him.

And the Jade Spirit Jade that Lin Tian gave to Lin Haoyu was even more priceless.

“Why don’t you take back the Jade Spirit Jade?”

“I’m such an idiot.”

Lin Tian complained again, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the other party’s strength was there, and he couldn’t compete with the other party.

Fortunately, he had a system that could draw a lottery to comfort him. Otherwise, exchanging a hundred taels of gold for a jade Spirit Jade would really be a loss.

“Hey, Lin Tian, what are you thinking about this time?”

Just as Lin Tian felt a little depressed, a crisp voice came from behind.

Lin Tian heard the voice and guessed that it was Lin Yu’er. He said in a strange tone,

“I’m thinking about how to spend the hundred taels of gold that your father gave me.”

“Hehe, that’s easy to do. You just need to go shopping with me in the city.”

Lin Yu’er giggled when she heard about spending money.

“I refuse to go shopping with you. I think you have your eyes on my wallet.”

Lin Tian rolled his eyes at Lin Yu’er. He hid the embroidered purse behind his back to avoid Lin Yu’er’s gaze as he spoke.

However, this was not why Lin Tian rejected Lin Yu’er’s request to go shopping. He wanted to go back and continue cultivating the “Heaven and Earth Sacred Technique” and the “Heavenly Tiger Collapsing Fist.”

Lin Yu’er, beside him, was displeased when she heard Lin Tian’s words. She pursed her lips and snorted lightly:

“You’re so good, Lin Tian. I’ve helped you so many times in the past. Now, you’re not even willing to accompany me to go shopping with such a small request.”

Lin Tian thought about it. When he entered the Lin family previously, Lin Yu’er had indeed helped him a lot.

“Alright then, I’ll accompany you to visit Jade Lotus town today.”

“Alright, let’s go quickly. Otherwise, it’ll be dark soon.”

Lin Yu’er said happily and pulled Lin Tian out of the house.

“Are you sure it’s going to be dark soon?”

Lin Tian covered his eyes with his left hand and raised his head to look at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky. He said expressionlessly.

As one of the three big families in Jade Lotus town, the Lin family’s courtyard would definitely not be located in the corner of Jade Lotus town.

Therefore, after Lin Tian and Lin Yu’er walked out of the Lin family’s gate, they quickly arrived at the most prosperous street in Jade Lotus town: Chang Rong Street.

On both sides of the street, shops and restaurants are lined with banners and trademarks of shops. On the way, there were many stalls and hawkers on the street, shouting loudly at the passers-by.

“Chang Rong Street is still bustling with so many people.”

Lin Tian looked at the bustling street and said lightly.

“But it’s precisely because of the crowd that I don’t want to go shopping.”

However, Lin Yu’er, traveling with him, overlooked Lin Tian’s complaint. Instead, she looked at Chang Rong Street with excitement.

“This ice-sugar gourd looks so delicious!”

“Wow, Lin Tian, come quickly. This little sugar figurine is so interesting. The Boss said that it can be eaten.”

“Lin Tian, smell this osmanthus cake. It smells so sweet!”

“Lin Tian…”

Lin Yu’er’s eyes lit up when she arrived at the Jade Lotus town. She had already run to a few stalls selling snacks like a little rabbit.

The most important thing was that every time Lin Yu’er picked up a snack, she would immediately change to another stall, leaving Lin Tian behind to pay for her.

“To think that you are the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Why do you still have me, a poor child, to pay for it?”

Lin Tian grumbled as he took out the money to settle the bill.

However, Lin Tian was just saying that. He actually did not feel unhappy about paying for Lin Yu’er from behind.

After all, when Lin Tian was unhappy in the Lin family, Lin Yu’er brought him delicious food many times to let him live through those days.

The sun was high in the sky, and it was noon.

“Lin Tian, I can’t walk anymore. Let’s find an inn to rest.”

Lin Yu’er said tiredly.

Lin Tian carried big and small bags as he slowly followed behind Lin Yu’er. His face was filled with helplessness.

At this moment, Lin Tian and Lin Yu’er had basically walked through all the delicious and fun streets in Yulian town. Moreover, they did not stop midway.

They had been shopping all this while and had been buying nonstop.

It was usual for Lin Yu’er to be tired from shopping now.

After hearing Lin Yu’er’s words, Lin Tian immediately ridiculed, “Why don’t you see how much food you’ve eaten and how long you’ve walked?”

As he spoke, Lin Tian looked around for an inn to rest.

After a while, he saw a canvas with the word “tea” hanging in the air at a corner not far away.

“Hang in there. There’s a teahouse up ahead. We can rest soon.”

Hearing that there was a teahouse ahead for them to rest, Lin Yu’er’s listless eyes lit up again, and she regained her spirit.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry over.”

After saying that, Lin Yu’er walked quickly to the teahouse in front.

“This young Miss!”

Lin Tian shook his head gently, and his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Then, he followed Lin Yu’er.

Just as Lin Tian and Lin Yu’er walked into the teahouse’s entrance, a figure suddenly fell in front of them.

Lin Yu’er could not help but be startled and immediately dodged to the back of Lin Tian.

Before Lin Tian could clearly see the person who had fallen to the ground, he heard a strange voice.

“Seriously, what kind of trash dares to come and concern the second young master of My Li family these days?”

Lin Tian and Lin Yu’er raised their heads and saw that the person who spoke was their sworn enemy, the second young master of the Li family, Li Yinjie.

In Lin Tian’s impression, this Li Yinjie was not a good person.

Usually, he relied on the power of the Li family and his cultivation of the advanced stage of the body strengthening stage to commit crimes and abuse in Jade Lotus town. He had never done anything good.

At this moment, the attendant beside Li Yinjie was holding onto a woman who was crying. Apparently, this woman was forced, but no one in the teahouse dared to step forward to stop her.

Except for the person who fell to the ground just now.

“Li Yinjie, you molested a good woman in broad daylight. You will be punished.”

Lin Rong got up and pointed at Li Yinjie as he cursed angrily.

“It seems that you still haven’t suffered enough. Continue to beat him. I want to beat him until his mother can’t recognize him.”

Li Yinjie said coldly to Lin Rong, and then three attendants walked out from behind him.

“Lin Ronghua!”

Lin Tian recognized that person’s identity as Lin Rong, who was from a branch of the Lin family and immediately called out his name.

Hearing someone call out his name, Lin Rong immediately turned his head and looked back.

“Lin Tian, Miss Lin Yu’er.”

At this moment, Lin Tian and Lin Yu’er saw the bruises on Lin Rong’s face.

Then, without saying anything, Lin Yu’er quickly walked in front of Lin Rong and shouted loudly,

“Let’s see who dares to come over.”

Li Yinjie’s follower recognized Lin Yu’er’s identity and was ordered by Lin Yu’er to stay where he was.

The scene quickly descended into a confrontation.

“Lin Rong, what exactly happened?”

Lin Tian went up and asked.

Lin Rong did not delay and told the whole story in just a few words.

It turned out that Li Yinjie was flirting with decent women in the teahouse. Lin Rong could not stand Li Yinjie’s behavior, so he went up to stop him. In the end, he was beaten up by Li Yinjie’s follower.

After listening to Lin Rong’s explanation, Lin Yu’er praised him for doing a good job.

Regarding this, Lin Tian was speechless and ridiculed in his heart:

“Seriously, what’s the point of pretending to be b without strength?”

At this moment, a notification sounded in Lin Tian’s mind.

[Ding! Triggered scenario mission!]

[Mission: Help Lin Rong escape Li Yinjie’s oppression.]

[Reward: One black-grade lottery ticket!]
