Master Mo nearly choked upon hearing it.

"Xiao Xin, you’re not being fair, learning the bad and not the good. You’ve learned to be a swindler from Jiang Qing. Four thousand taels for a bottle? Why don’t you just rob me? Do you think I don’t know? It’s just Golden Honey with some water added."

Master Mo said discontentedly.

"Master Mo, I’m only following your example. Remember when my father took your elixir pills? You tricked us father and daughter into working as free labor for how long? If you have the skill, you can concoct a bottle of Golden Honey yourself, but I won’t lend you Danzi."

Xin Lin chuckled dryly a couple of times.

Speaking of cunning merchants, if Master Mo is second, no one dares claim to be first.

Think, she’s been surviving in Qingtian Academy for years with just a bowl of mung bean soup.

Besides, Master Mo is like a hidden tycoon.

Last time, she dared to go to Taoyao Pavilion for an auction and even entered the VIP room. It means, whatever she says, she must have a fortune of several million taels in silver.

Can’t believe, after so many years at the School Clinic, she managed to scam so much!

"Xiao Xin, we’ve been through thick and thin together, and you really want to be this heartless. Look at me, thirty-five years old with an old face, I desperately need your Beauty Ointment."

Master Mo said with a sorrowful face.

There’s always someone better; Ma Lin, who tricked people all her life, now meets small trickster Xin Lin.

Golden Honey is not as effective as Xin Lin’s Beauty Ointment.

"You could also trade your private stash with me. Four thousand taels, cannot go lower, or you could use the promissory notes our father and daughter owe, that’s fine too."

Xin Lin laughed slyly.

Master Mo had a small treasure box, and the Xuanyu Bee Needle was originally pulled out from there. Xin Lin strongly suspected there were good things for seven days inside.

"You little trickster, dream on! So you were after my private stash."

Master Mo was quite angry, glared at Xin Lin, and stormed off.

"Xin Lin, do you think Master Mo was telling the truth, she’s really thirty-five? I always thought she was older than my grandmother, and my grandmother is sixty."

Lu Yuan clicked his tongue.

"Lu Yuan! Are you asking for trouble?"

Master Mo bellowed from afar.

Lu Yuan shrank his neck.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, I came to find you. I noticed something’s off with the combat lobsters in the pond recently."

Lu Yuan finally remembered the main reason he came.

Lu Yuan, Zuo Mingshang, Huang Xuerou, and others had their physiques greatly enhanced by eating Spiritual Food with Xin Lin several times.

To improve their combat skills, besides their daily cultivation, they also practiced with the combat lobsters in the pond.

Those combat lobsters, because of drinking the Jade Pure Spring that Xin Lin adds to the pond every day, are strong and powerful, and their fighting skills are amazing. Even the student from Gu Feng Academy almost suffered because of them.

Lu Yuan and Zuo Mingshang recognized this potential and regularly used the combat lobsters to practice fighting techniques.

Over time, no joke, their combat proficiency has indeed improved considerably.

These past few days, in their practical combat classes, they could even battle with students from A and B Class Academies for a long time and remain undefeated.

However, just these past few days, they noticed the combat lobsters in the pond seem sickly and much slower than before.

This morning, some of the combat lobsters even flipped over belly up. After discovering that, Lu Yuan realized something was wrong and quickly came to report to Xin Lin.
