Chapter 1406: Chapter 1401: The Two of Them (Part 2)
"Small Returning Pill?"
"Qi Storage Pill?"
"Bone Refining Pill?"
He glanced at the labels on the porcelain bottles and felt a bit confused.
He understood the literal meaning of each character in the names.
But once the three characters were put together, he had no idea what they meant.
It all felt like something straight out of a fantasy or Xianxia novel.
With a confused expression, he turned to Lin Xi and couldn’t help but ask once more, "What are these?"
But before Lin Xi could respond, he quickly added, "Wait, don’t say anything!"
"Let me guess!"
First, he placed the porcelain bottles into his pocket, not particularly carefully.
If those auction folks saw this, they would definitely criticize him heavily. Why couldn’t he be a bit more cautious with such precious items?
Also, his expression was just begging for a punch!
Lin Xi didn’t mind too much.
Because the custom-made small porcelain bottles were of incredibly high quality.
Even if they were dropped from a height, they wouldn’t necessarily break.
And even if they did break, the pills would be perfectly fine.
Just find another bottle and transfer them; it’s as simple as that.
He also understood that before he refined them, everyone probably found this quite absurd.
Only after trying them would they realize, they’re great!
Then he explained the effects of the three types of pills to He Zhanyin.
Hearing this, He Zhanyin was confused again.
He repeatedly asked Lin Xi if he was joking.
Do they really have such effects?
He couldn’t help but slap his own face hard, to see if he was still dreaming at the hotel.
But he realized that Lin Xi wasn’t joking.
For some reason, recalling that scene at the hotel, he started to believe it.
Though, disbelief was still the dominant feeling.
Anyway, there’s no harm in holding onto them.
After he finishes his business, he could try them out.
"So, are we really going to Kalu now? Are you sure?" He confirmed with Lin Xi, "I said it!"
"I haven’t seen him for years; he might not care about past friendships!"
Lin Xi smiled, "Relax, he will care!"
"Why?" He Zhanyin asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Don’t you remember how those people treated you at the last checkpoint?" Lin Xi explained.
He Zhanyin, "....."
"Makes sense!"
He suddenly realized and remembered the last checkpoint.
Oh yeah!
Why did those people treat him that way?
To be honest, he’s only now reacting to this issue.
It’s definitely odd.
After all, he hasn’t been to this special region for years.
Logically, those people shouldn’t recognize him.
Kalu has tens of thousands of subordinates!
Could it be because of special instructions?
Or due to some other reason?
For a moment, he couldn’t figure it out.
What’s going on?
Just then, within moments.
Both of them sensed something wasn’t right.
Because in front and behind them, at least eight vehicles blocked his jeep.
These vehicles were clearly military vehicles.
What the hell?
He Zhanyin was in shock again.
He could say that today was the most confused he’s ever been in his life.
So many unexpected events happened that day, or rather, it all just felt inexplicable.
In less than a minute, the jeep was forced to a stop.
Of course, he had intentions to stop.
Otherwise, how could it be easily forced to stop?
In fact, he might even say, those eight vehicles trying to force him to stop was almost impossible.
Or he could say that the drivers of these eight vehicles were on par with him in skills.
But he thought it wasn’t possible.
Because he knew that within the entire Golden Triangle region, his driving skills could definitely rank in the top five.
In certain aspects, he’s unbeatable.
Immediately, they both saw a middle-aged man in a military uniform step out from the front vehicle among the eight.
He walked over with a cold expression, but it didn’t look like he intended to start a fight.
Both of them could tell the man was probably at an entry-level special forces strength.
So, they weren’t worried.
"Hello Mr. He, our general invites you!" He spoke with a polite tone.
Nonetheless, although polite, his tone brooked no refusal.
He Zhanyin paused for a moment, and then replied with an unfriendly tone, "What if I refuse to go?"
"Would you try to capture me?"
"Don’t you know my reputation, Old He?"
"Should I fear your general?"
The words were full of swagger, Lin Xi thought.
To He Zhanyin, it seemed he had a considerable influence in the Golden Triangle.
Otherwise, why would he dare speak to this officer like that?
Knowing that both of them were within the jurisdiction of a warlord.
Just as Lin Xi didn’t expect, this officer paid no heed or showed any concern over He Zhanyin’s words. It seemed his expression hinted he had anticipated this reaction.
"You’re afraid!" he said.
Lin Xi saw He Zhanyin’s expression, as if he had eaten a mouthful of dog poop, and was momentarily lost for words to refute, realizing that this guy was definitely bluffing.
Thinking it over, it made sense.
If He Zhanyin was really that impressive, he wouldn’t need to seek out Kalu.
He could directly deal with the warlord who harmed Zhou Yan.
"You..." He Zhanyin was on the verge of fury.
But Lin Xi calmed him down before he could lose his temper and said, "Who’s your general?"
In fact, from his expression, he already had a guess, as did Old He.
The officer glanced at Lin Xi before saying, "General Kalu."
"Indeed!" Lin Xi’s face showed a realization.
It seemed at the moment they passed through the checkpoint in the special area, those at the checkpoint had already informed Kalu.
Though why he came to find them only now was unknown.
Of course, Kalu was definitely looking for He Zhanyin; he had nothing to do with Lin Xi.
After all, he hadn’t known Kalu before this, and Kalu wouldn’t have known him either.
Even now, Kalu definitely didn’t recognize him.
"Isn’t this convenient?" He patted He Zhanyin, who was in a daze, and added, "Seems like your relationship is quite exceptional!"
He Zhanyin suddenly didn’t know what to say.
The officer, for the first time, showed hesitation as he glanced at Lin Xi, very clearly implying.
General Kalu only wanted to see He Zhanyin alone.
But this didn’t match Lin Xi’s goals.
Even if Kalu hadn’t approached them, they would have sought him out anyway.
At that moment, He Zhanyin glared at the officer, "If you want to secure a good position with Kalu, just lead the way quietly."
"As for everything else, don’t worry about it!"
"I’ll sort it out naturally!"
The middle-aged officer’s expression changed several times, but eventually, he agreed with He Zhanyin’s words and didn’t insist on having Lin Xi leave.
Throughout the drive, He Zhanyin’s face was very displeased.
The reason was, he felt he couldn’t shake off the impression of having a special relationship with Kalu in Lin Xi’s eyes.
Old lover?
Hmm!
Lin Xi definitely thought so!
Thinking about this, he glared at Lin Xi.
Which made Lin Xi feel a bit puzzled.
In less than half an hour, the vehicle traversed a mountain path and arrived at a place that looked like a fortified village.
This was Kalu’s headquarters!
