They all sat down together and started chatting while eating.

Ning Yue’s culinary skills had progressed remarkably since before.

After tasting today’s dishes, Luo Luo praised them repeatedly, and even Wei Zhengqing nodded, agreeing with Luo Luo’s opinion.

This made Ning Yue a bit embarrassed and he kept attributing the success to Lin Jing’s merits.

At the table, Ning Yue inquired about Wei Zhengqing’s recent circumstances.

Wei Zhengqing spoke at length.

Only then did Lin Jing learn that Wei Zhengqing often frequented the black market.

Lin Jing’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Brother Wei, I’ve inadvertently obtained a Black Market Token, but I am unsure whether it’s authentic or fake. I was hoping you could take a look for me,” he said.

As he spoke, Lin Jing took the Black Market Token out of his Storage Bag and handed it to Wei Zhengqing.

Wei Zhengqing took the Token and then examined it carefully.

Soon, Wei Zhengqing finished his examination and returned the Token to Lin Jing without asking where Lin Jing had acquired it from.

He nodded and said,

“This Token is real.”

After that, Wei Zhengqing posed another question, “Brother Lin, have you never been to the black market before?”

Lin Jing nodded in response, “Yes, I acquired this Token by chance and don’t even know what the black market looks like.”

“The black market…”

“Unlike the Fang Market, it’s filled with all sorts, selling both the good and the sinister. However, it predominantly deals in goods that can’t see the light of day.”

“As such, it’s even more secretive, and ordinary people can’t get in even if they have a Token.”

“Then how does one enter?”

“To enter the black market, just having a Token isn’t enough. You also need someone to lead you, otherwise, you won’t even be able to find the entrance,” he explained.

After speaking, Wei Zhengqing looked at Lin Jing and asked,

“Do you wish to enter the black market?”

“Yes,” Lin Jing nodded.

“I want to buy some Magic Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques. I’ve searched many places, but haven’t found anything satisfactory. That’s why I thought of trying the black market.”

In truth, this was only part of the reason; more importantly, Lin Jing wanted to sell Elixir Medicine through the black market.

As Wei Zhengqing had described, the black market was known for dealing in items that couldn’t withstand the light of day and maintained strict confidentiality, which was perfectly suited for Lin Jing’s current situation.

Especially having experienced the incident with the man in black, Lin Jing became even more cautious—selling more Elixir Medicine would make him a target for similar situations again.

He couldn’t simply stop selling Elixir Medicine.

Therefore, finding a safe method to sell Elixir Medicine was of utmost importance.

Wei Zhengqing thought for a moment in silence.

“Indeed, the Fang Market has a variety of Magical Treasures and Cultivation Techniques, some of which may even be much cheaper than outside for certain reasons. However, it’s best not to practice these as it’s easy to offend certain powers,” he said.

Instantly, Lin Jing understood that these must have been techniques that circulated from various families and sects.

“Are you sure you want to go to the black market?”

“If you want to enter, I can take you there,” Wei Zhengqing repeated, seeking confirmation from Lin Jing.

Lin Jing nodded, “Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Wei when the time comes.”

“Alright, after these few days pass, I’ll take you there to have a look,” Wei Zhengqing promised.

“Thank you, Brother Wei. ”

“No need,” Wei Zhengqing replied.

Afterward, everyone continued.

Ning Yue even brought out a jar of Spiritual Wine and poured some for the two of them.

As they drank their rounds, Wei Zhengqing, unlike before, opened up and started to chat with Ning Yue.

Lin Jing listened quietly on the side.

Meanwhile, the little girl was enjoying her meal thoroughly.

After listening for a while, Lin Jing came to know.

It turned out that Ning Yue and Luo Luo’s father had come from the same place as Wei Zhengqing, and they had arrived at Nanshan Market together at the beginning.

No wonder they were so close to each other.

“Do you really not plan to go back?” Wei Zhengqing asked Ning Yue.

“I don’t know, I don’t even know how to face them,” Ning Yue replied.

Ning Yue’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her eyes reflecting a complex expression, as she shook her head.

Lin Jing remained silent, quietly listening to the conversation between the two.

He could tell that Ning Yue seemed to be in a dilemma. Wei Zhengqing’s brows also creased as he said,

“But you can’t keep going on like this.”

“What about Luo Luo? You can’t possibly take care of her for a lifetime, can you?”

As Wei Zhengqing reached this point, he stared intently at Ning Yue, then continued,

“Brother Su has already passed away and can’t come back. Staying here isn’t a solution either. Even if not for yourself, you have to think about Luo Luo.”

“She lacks a Spiritual Root and is simply not suited for staying here. Back with the clan, she might have a better life.”

Luo Luo, whose full name was Su Xinluo, was the biological daughter of Brother Su, mentioned by Wei Zhengqing.

Ning Yue was silent, knowing all too well that returning to the clan was indeed the best option for Luo Luo.

Yet, when she had snuck out back then, she had caused so much trouble for her parents.

Now, she simply could not face her family with any semblance of dignity.

“Remaining here is never a long-term plan, especially now with the Demonic Beats constantly causing chaos, and even Fang Market becoming more and more unsafe.”

“I think if Brother Su were alive, he wouldn’t want this for you.” Wei Zhengqing finished speaking.

Then he picked up his cup from the table and drained it in one gulp.

Lin Jing also fell silent, knowing this was not the time to interject. After a long pause, it was Luo Luo who broke the oppressive atmosphere.

“Mother, Uncle Wei, Uncle Lin.”

“Come on, try this; Mother’s cooking has really improved, almost half as good as Uncle Lin now.”

“Brother Wei, Daoist Ning,” Lin Jing reminded them.

“Alright, let’s eat.”

Ning Yue temporarily composed herself.

And after a moment of silence, Wei Zhengqing spoke,

“To stay or to leave, that’s your decision to make.”

“Don’t worry, even if you choose to stay here, as long as I’m around, I will never fail Brother Su’s trust and will protect you and Luo Luo.”

Having said that, Wei Zhengqing seemed to be hit by the effects of the wine.

He lifted his cup towards Lin Jing and said,

“Brother Lin, no retreat until we’re drunk, how about it?”

“Good.”

Lin Jing lifted his cup, clinked it against Wei Zhengqing’s, and then drank it all down.

As Lin Jing and Wei Zhengqing were enjoying their drinks,

In the courtyard diagonally across from them, Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, the two brothers, were in a pitch-black room.

The room lacked even the glow of an oil lamp, completely dark, in stark contrast to the brightly lit opposite side. “Cough… cough cough…”

Zhang Sen couldn’t stop coughing in the room.

“Big brother, how are you feeling?

Zhang Lin hurried to Zhang Sen’s side and gently patted his back, trying to make him feel a little better.

“I’m fine.”

Zhang Sen gestured for Zhang Lin to stop his patting.

“Those people from Qianjinfang are too ruthless, injuring you so badly.” Zhang Lin said resentfully.

“It’s inevitable, they are from Qianjinfang, with Foundation Establishment masters backing them, and we can’t afford to provoke them.” “These days, I’ve been thinking, we might have been tricked.”

“The entire thing was probably a trap set by Qianjinfang, first baiting us to gamble, allowing us to win, then slowly sinking us deeper in, until we’re completely bankrupt at the end.”

As if aggravating his wounds, Zhang Sen clenched his teeth and frowned, then said,

“But knowing this now, what can we do? We still owe Qianjinfang several hundred Spirit Stones; they definitely won’t let us off until we repay them..”
