Chapter 72 Running Away from Home
After returning to his room, Shi Lin began to ponder how to establish a legitimate relationship with Shrek Academy.
Shi Lin frowned and sat in his study, pondering. For a moment, he couldn't come up with a good solution.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
There was a sudden knock on Shi Lin's study.
Shi Lin was forced to stop thinking and glared angrily at the door.
"Young Master." Shi An's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Brother An? Is something wrong?" Shi Lin was about to fly into a rage, but when he heard it was Shi An, he stopped being angry.
Shi An isn't thinking straight; there's no need for him to be angry.
"Young Master, you didn't eat lunch, so I had the kitchen prepare some food and bring it over to you," Shi An said to Shi Lin.
"Okay, bring it in then." Shi Lin nodded and said to Shi An.
Then Shi An entered Shi Lin's room, opened the lunchbox, and found four meat dishes and a jar of wine.
"Brother An, you even brought me wine? Aren't you afraid Uncle Fugui will beat you up?" Shi Lin said with a smile, looking at the wine jar in Shi An's hand.
After all, Shi Lin is too young to drink alcohol.
So even though Shi An brought it, Shi Lin didn't plan to drink it.
"Hehe, young master, this isn't wine. It's a juice that the master spent a lot of money to buy from Soto City. It's said to enhance cultivation talent, but I can't remember its name," Shi An chuckled as he introduced it to Shi Lin.
"There are such good things?" Shi Lin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron. After all, such things that can improve talent are rare and hard to come by.
A few minutes later.
A green Gu worm, about the length of a finger, appeared in Shi Lin's hand. This Gu worm could produce a pound of juice every day, but the juice it produced was useless.
Looking at the Gu worm in his hand, Shi Lin's lips twitched violently.
I have no idea how much my dad spent on this thing; it's a real waste of money.
"My dad's been tricked," Shi Lin said, stroking his chin and frowning.
"I don't know then." Shi An awkwardly touched his hair.
"Wait? You mean the juice my dad bought from Soto City?" Shi Lin asked Shi An.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Shi An asked, puzzled.
"Brother An, do you know where Soto City is?" Shi Lin asked Shi An.
"I know, when you were in school a while ago, the master went to Soto City, saying he went to discuss business. I don't know much about it. Uncle Fugui asked me to help with the master's safety. This juice is what I brought back last time." Shi An scratched his head, trying hard to recall things about Shi Zhen.
"That's great! Brother An, let's go to Soto City!" Shi Lin's eyes lit up after hearing Shi An's words.
"Young Master, should we tell the Master?" Shi An scratched his head awkwardly and asked Shi Lin cautiously.
Shi An thought to himself, "My young master really does things on a whim. He actually wants to go to Soto City."
Soto is quite a distance from Notting.
"No, I won't tell him, I'll go myself!" Shi Lin said to Shi An resolutely.
"Young Master, that's still quite dangerous. Why don't we reconsider?" Shi An scratched his head and continued to persuade Shi Lin.
"Brother An, I'm not young anymore, it's time for me to go out and make my own way in the world. Besides, I still have you by my side, you can come with me, it will be safer." Shi Lin said to Shi An.
"But then the master will be left without anyone to protect him," Shi An said hesitantly.
"My dad will probably be cultivating his soul power in the secret chamber for a while, don't worry, there won't be any problems," Shi Lin waved his hand dismissively.
The Shi family's manor is patrolled everywhere, and there are many secret passages and hidden doors in the courtyard, so Shi Zhen's safety is not a concern at all.
If we can kill Shi Zhen before he enters the secret passage, then Shi Lin and Shi An will be of no use here.
"This…" Shi An began to hesitate.
"I'll have someone stock up on some dry food and water in a bit. The two of us will travel light and head straight for Soto City!" Shi Lin patted Shi An on the shoulder and said to him.
"Young Master, I will definitely protect your safety!" Shi An stood up and bowed respectfully to Shi Lin.
"Brother An, go prepare the carriage. I'll go to the accounting office to get some gold soul coins. When traveling far, you can do without anything, but you can't do without money. But it's daytime now, so we'll set off after sunset today," Shi Lin said with a chuckle.
"Yes, young master!" Shi An said, and ran out of Shi Lin's room without hesitation.
Shi Lin returned to the secret chamber and began to refine wine Gu using the wine produced by the superior wine Gu.
The wine produced by the top-grade wine Gu is cloud-brewed wine, which is easily discovered, so only the wine produced by ordinary wine Gu can be used to refine the Gu worms.
As for Yunniang wine, we'll figure it out when Shi Lin comes back this time.
Shi Lin refined the product from eight or nine in the morning until three or four in the afternoon.
He successfully crafted a total of thirty high-grade wine Gu and one hundred and twenty mid-grade wine Gu.
That should be enough for my dad to use for a while.
After handing the wine Gu to Lin Yu, Shi Lin went straight to the accounting office.
Because Shi Zhen felt that Shi Lin was still young and wouldn't spend much money normally, he told the accountant to let Shi Lin take any gold soul coins he wanted.
Shi Lin should be able to get a lot of gold soul coins by coaxing and swindling.
Shi Lin was recognized as soon as he entered the accounting office.
"This subordinate, Chen Ke, the chief accountant, greets young master!" A thin middle-aged man approached Shi Lin, bowed respectfully, and then said.
"Give me ten thousand gold soul coins," Shi Lin said, holding up one finger.
"Ten thousand gold soul coins?" Chen Ke's eyes widened instantly.
"Is there a problem? My dad said I can withdraw money whenever I want without reporting it," Shi Lin said to Chen Ke with a dissatisfied snort.
"Young Master, ten thousand gold soul coins is no small sum. Would you like to discuss it with the Master?" Chen Ke hesitated for a moment before offering a word of advice to Shi Lin.
"Hmph, hurry up and take it out, or... I'll tell my dad." Shi Lin said to Chen Ke with a cunning and sly smile.
Chen Ke's heart skipped a beat when he saw Shi Lin's expression.
This young master of his own family is good in every way, except that he is too precocious. If he were to turn around and bite him, he really wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly, since this isn't the first time he's encountered something like this.
Previously, it was all small-scale, but this time it only required 10,000 gold soul coins.
After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Chen Ke made a decision.
"Alright, young master, I'll get you the money right away." Chen Ke sighed and then went to instruct someone to fetch the gold soul coins.
Shi Lin had carefully calculated that he needed 10,000 gold soul coins.
The Shi family's business is booming, so even if they lose 10,000 gold soul coins, it won't have any impact.
As long as these merchants want to sell the Shi family's wine and spirits, the Shi family's gold soul coins will be available in an endless stream.
