Chapter 1271: Chapter 1274: Foolishness (Part 1)
Everyone present, including the old lady, was somewhat surprised except for Lin Xi and Princess Consort Le; the others were even more shocked.
They all knew that throughout the old masterâs life, he had never spoken such words.
His gratitude was always repaid directly.
When he said something like this, it meant he was willing to give anything he had.
Of course, provided it didnât violate moral principles.
"Dad..." Mu Chen and Mu Rou both called out in their hearts.
In their view, if the other party asked for stocks or something, the old master would certainly not hesitate.
Crap!
They were very worried at this moment.
Because they believed that this kid named Lin Xi had really deep schemes.
If, during the life-saving event in the mountains, the old master had thanked with stocks, it wouldnât have taken much.
After all, their stocks were still very valuable.
Now, with shared hobbies and the health issues resolved, plus the modification of the Fist Skill.
This favor, the old master would definitely feel itâs worth giving anything.
This person has great ambitions!
However, neither of them opened their mouths to interrupt.
Itâs not that they didnât want to, but they had already seen the old master signaling them with his eyes before he spoke.
If they interrupted now, they would really be kicked out of the house.
Yes, absolutely!
They didnât doubt it at all.
Everyone else, including Princess Consort Le, looked at Lin Xi, eagerly anticipating what he would write.
But they immediately saw Lin Xi shaking his head, "Uncle Mu is too polite!"
"I did all this simply because I felt we get along well!"
"So, saying those words seemed a bit inappropriate!"
Honestly, his Small Returning Pill, if sold outside, couldnât be bought with money.
If forced to value it with money, it would be at least in the billions.
And it would be invaluable yet not available in the market.
"Really want nothing?" Uncle Mu found it hard to understand Lin Xi wasnât lying.
No matter how unusual, who wouldnât love money?
Moreover, their Mu family was renowned throughout the Sichuan region.
"Donât worry, if you want it, my appreciation for you over the past two days wonât change at all!" he said again.
But Lin Xi raised his hand to stop him, "Uncle, no need of saying anymore."
"Alright, we should be leaving now!"
After saying this, he glanced at Princess Consort Le, who nodded.
Seeing Lin Xi leaving, Uncle Mu became a bit anxious, "Xiaolin, you havenât spent an entire day here yet, why leave?"
"Our place has many fun spots, you probably havenât visited any!"
Lin Xi refused, "Weâve been out for too long, if we donât go back, weâll be scolded!"
Princess Consort Le slightly pursed her lips; she wouldnât be scolded!
This kid is talking nonsense.
Who would dare scold him?
She wished she knew who that person would be!
However, she didnât expose him.
Honestly, she wanted to leave too.
Being outside wasnât particularly interesting to her; she preferred staying at home.
Besides, is this really playing?
They had mostly been chatting with the old lady.
Moreover, looking at the old master, he certainly wouldnât take Lin Xi out to play, but surely to play chess.
The old geezer, so cunning!!!
Even after several attempts, Uncle Mu couldnât keep Lin Xi with all his persuasive words.
In fact, it was a bit different from what Princess Consort Le thought.
He wanted to keep Lin Xi primarily to build a closer relationship.
Playing chess was secondary.
With the recent rejection, he was very certain this person was not ordinary.
As he spoke those words, he kept watching Lin Xi.
Finding this young man had neither greed nor any desire.
That indicated Xiaolin simply didnât care about his proposal.
Knowing their Mu family stood extraordinarily in terms of wealth.
Even so, it didnât move him.
Meanwhile, he was internally angry, yes, angry at his children.
Why couldnât these ungrateful kids see through things as he did?
Didnât they know how to judge people?
Truly lacking any insight!
Ah!
He sighed, went inside, and started drinking tea alone.
Initially, he wanted to send Lin Xi off, but Lin Xi declined, citing he needed proper rest for the next few days.
His son Mu Chen proactively offered to send Lin Xi off.
He refused without thinking.
However, Mu Chen made all sorts of gestures, indicating he understood completely and would not trouble Lin Xi.
Promising to thank Lin Xi properly.
Also saying the airport manager was familiar with him and could directly escort Lin Xi through security checks.
The airport was quite crowded during these days.
Otherwise, they would spend a long time in queue, which was very time-consuming.
Uncle Mu, after thinking, privately warned Mu Chen not to offend Xiaolin.
If possible, seek favor with him.
Mu Chen nodded, promising to follow his advice.
Only then did he allow Mu Chen to drive Lin Xi and Princess Consort Le.
But he didnât notice Mu Chen turning away with a bright smile on his face.
This smile seemed odd.
Seeing Mu Chen grin like that, Mu Rou also gave a bright smile.
Both understood each other without words.
Lin Xi and the others left a while ago, and the old master had been drinking tea for quite a while as well.
At this moment, Mu Rou came over and sat beside the old master.
Seeing the old master, she couldnât help but ask in confusion, "Dad, you donât look happy?"
"Whatâs the matter?"
"Shouldnât you be happy now?"
From her perspective, her father was not only saved, but their Fist Skill was improved.
Though she might not entirely agree, thinking Lin Xi was spouting nonsense, even about the treatment, she felt he was just messing around.
However, the old master was relieved, so she didnât say much.
A doctor would visit soon anyway.
This doctor was one of the most famous in Sichuan, renowned nationwide.
By then, any deceitful acts of that kid would be revealed.
"Unhappy?" Uncle Mu glared at her grudgingly, "All because of you!"
"Because of us?" Mu Rou was stunned, not expecting it.
"Who else could it be but myself?" the old master replied, "That Xiaolin saved your father twice, or rather, three times!"
"Shouldnât we go all out to thank him?"
Mu Rou nodded, "Indeed, we should thank him!"
"We could give him millions; I think it wouldnât matter!"
Upon hearing this, the old master got angry, unable to suppress a furious snort, "Foolish!"
