Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

Chapter 286 General Lin, with his impure motives, miscalculated.

That's right, there's one thing: when trading with him, herbs of different grades naturally correspond to potions of different grades.

The fact that they gave Mo Li the Saintly Rank item shows that it was obtained by exchanging it for some rare herbs.

Mo Li glanced at Lin Tiancheng sitting opposite her, her eyes flashing. She had to admit, he was someone who was willing to spend a lot of money.

"General Lin, you're too kind. What you brought is really too precious, especially this Saint-level potion from Elder Wang. If it were left out, it would probably attract a lot of people to fight over it in seconds. You yourself are going to the battlefield, so I think it's more appropriate to keep it for your own use."

"I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but besides your kind invitation, the military personnel who came to visit earlier also brought Elder Wang's Saint-level potions. Because they are so precious, I initially firmly refused, but they said 'friendship is priceless,' so I did. Now you've brought more... I really... I should take them back."

Hmph, hmph, don't think I didn't see you mention Elder Wang's Saint-level potion. Your face was twitching, and you looked like you were in pain. What, you don't want to give it to me? Then why did you bring it in front of me?

Putting on a show?

Ha ha……

They're taking advantage of my shyness, thinking I'm too embarrassed to accept such a generous gift.

I'm so sorry!

The concept of being thin-skinned simply doesn't exist; in fact, it can force you to become thin-skinned.

A flash of anger crossed Lin Tiancheng's eyes. He had really miscalculated. If he had known this woman was like this, why would he have acted like such a big shot? He should know that this potion was exchanged for a thousand-year-old fire lotus that he had worked so hard to obtain.

That's a Saint-level medicine, the Fire Lotus! It's priceless. Even Old Wang's eyes lit up when he saw it.

His heart was throbbing with pain; he really couldn't bear to part with it.

The woman in front of him was right. He himself needed to go to the battlefield. With Old Wang's treatment, it was as if he had an extra life on the extremely dangerous battlefield.

That's a life!

How could he bear to give it to Mo Junlin?

Ha ha……

"Good brother," is how he presents it to the outside world, but in reality, he wishes he could kill him immediately, because his existence overshadows all his own brilliance.

General?

Why should he be the one to be a general, when he is sixty years older than him?

"Kyle, take the gifts that Lieutenant General Lin brought and register them in the warehouse." Ignoring Lin Tiancheng's pained expression upon hearing her words, she turned to Kelly and instructed her:

"Quickly serve Lin Zhong a cup of hot tea, and also some of the fresh fruits that the Beigong family specially sent this morning. Since he is Mr. Mo's good brother and it is his first time visiting as a guest, how can we neglect him?"

"No, there's no need to be so polite. Sister-in-law, I don't know if it's convenient for me to see Junlin's injuries in person. His condition is confidential in the military. I only heard that he was seriously injured, but I don't know the extent of his injuries. I'm really worried about him. I just want to see him for myself. Otherwise, I definitely won't be able to eat or sleep well when I get back."

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to, but he is currently receiving treatment and it's inconvenient for people to visit him. Otherwise, it could easily aggravate his injuries and make them worse. If that happens, we, as his family members and those who insist on visiting him despite our advice, cannot bear the consequences."

Lin Tiancheng was still somewhat unwilling and was about to try again when Mo Li pushed a cup of tea in front of him and said with a smile:

"General Lin, you can try my tea. All the guests who have come to visit have praised it highly. Ah, I can totally understand how you feel."

But we all hope he recovers soon, so let's respect the doctor's advice.

"Oh, yes, yes, sister-in-law, you're right. I didn't think it through."

As he spoke, he picked up the cup of tea and put it in his mouth. He didn't know if there was something wrong with his sense of taste, but the tea that Mo Li said had been praised by the guests tasted extremely bitter to him.

"how?"

Mo Li completely ignored his contorted features and asked him with a faint smile if it tasted good.

"Heh, heh, indeed, indeed very good. No wonder everyone likes it. It has a sweet aftertaste, is particularly mellow, and has a long-lasting flavor."

Mo Li almost burst out laughing. If he knew that this was the worst kind of bitter tea that even dogs would reject, I wonder what he would think?

It wasn't that Mo Li lacked hospitality, but rather that she had already learned about his true relationship with Mo Junlin from his close military colleagues who came to visit.

"Ha, this is really hilarious and infuriating. Lin Tiancheng seems to have a great relationship with our general on the surface, but in reality, he's just thinking about how to replace him."

The general was seriously wounded and was sent directly back from the battlefield. No one could be happier than him. I wonder how much he secretly hoped the general would be in trouble. Look how impatient he is! He says he's sharing the general's burden, haha, he doesn't even know what he's actually done…”

These words were not spoken to Mo Li's face, but rather during their conversation as they left. Of course, she overheard some of the subsequent conversation as well.

So?

She naturally wouldn't be too friendly to Lin Tiancheng.

"I'm glad you like it, Lieutenant General Lin. I'll have Kyle pack some for you to take home and drink. Don't be shy with me; I should reciprocate such an expensive gift."

"Click..."

It was so bitter, so incredibly bitter. Lin Tiancheng didn't care about saving face anymore, otherwise his entire tongue would be marinated in bitterness. He picked up a bright red apple in front of him and took a bite.

His eyes lit up immediately. Delicious, crisp and juicy, this was the best apple he had ever eaten.

It's a pity Ye Zixuan isn't here right now. If he were, seeing his naive and unsophisticated attitude, he would definitely be secretly looking down on him and making sarcastic remarks.

"Tsk, you obviously haven't eaten anything good. I despise apples that I don't want to eat, but you eat them like they're some kind of delicacy."

"If Lieutenant General Lin likes these apples, the Beigong family just delivered a lot today. Our family can't finish them all. They were just picked from the plantation and are very fresh."

"Just picked from the plantation?"

Lieutenant General Lin was genuinely shocked upon hearing this. What kind of top-tier treatment was this?

Not to mention that it's the Beigong family, the number one family that countless people want to climb up to but have no way to do so.

He had been paying close attention to the affairs of the Beigong family on the StarNet during this period. Thanks to the hype generated during this time, the Beigong family had firmly established itself as the top family among the eight great families in the first tier.

It can be said that in the Central Empire, apart from the royal family and some hidden, transcendent forces, no one can compare to the Bei Gong family.

It's truly... infuriating that Mo Li enjoys such prestige from the Bei Gong family.

"Then I'll shamelessly accept it."

He'd given away such a precious Saint-level healing potion; he needed to recoup some of the investment. Besides, with his current abilities, getting fruit directly from the Beigong family's orchard was more like a pipe dream.
