Lin Xiao was very honest. After he spoke, Fang Qing and the other two exchanged glances. If this thing had been used at that time, their disciples might have suffered several casualties.
Fortunately, Ning Yu's unyielding bone summoning was quick, and neither side's junior disciples suffered any major injuries, at most minor ones that would heal in a few days.
"Don't worry, later on, if they reach the Northern Territory, they'll learn how to use these things. If they don't learn, we'll also teach them how to deal with firearms and modern weapons," Lin Xiao said, grinning as he watched the disciples being led away by Ye Chen. If those people from the Beautiful Country were to make a move on the Dragon Country recently, they would truly be walking into the line of fire.
It was the perfect time to let them taste the power of the Dragon Country's millennia-old heritage.
"Lin Xiao, since everything here is handled, we three should be going now." Fang Qing had no intention of lingering. After greeting Lin Xiao, he left directly.
Watching the backs of the three as they departed, Lin Xiao finally relaxed. This meant that this matter had finally come to a close.
Just as Lin Xiao relaxed, a hand landed on his shoulder. "Lin Xiao, I think our transaction can continue."
What was bound to come would eventually come.
Lin Xiao turned his head, a slight smile on his face as he looked at Qi Tian. "Of course, our transaction should continue."
"As we agreed before, I'll go to the Misty Immortal Palace for you to gather information for my puppet, and you will assist me for the next month." Qi Tian stared at Lin Xiao.
If Lin Xiao hadn't offered such a good deal back then, he would never have risked going to the Misty Immortal Palace.
He wouldn't do thankless and difficult work.
For a month, Lin Xiao would unconditionally help him perfect the puppet's data, and every time he sparred with the puppet, Lin Xiao would not hide his strength and would go all out.
This was why he had agreed to Lin Xiao.
"That's for sure, but before that, I need to go home and explain the situation to my family," Lin Xiao said quickly. "As you know, my daughter is only a few years old. If I don't go back for a month, she'll cry."
Qi Tian frowned slightly. He had no interest in marriage and starting a family. Women were merely an obstacle to his pursuit of a higher realm.
And besides...
He had seen too much of the affairs between couples online. Just watching it gave him a headache. Women were far more difficult to understand than puppets or the "Hundred Refinements Divine Machine"!
"Fine. Also, I'm not asking you to follow me around all day. You just need to show up when needed," Qi Tian said. "And I can find a place to settle down near your home. I think you should be capable of arranging such a place, right?"
Facing Qi Tian's proposal, Lin Xiao shrugged. "Indeed, I can, and I can arrange it quite well."
After all, no one seemed to go to the冥医's courtyard. Using it temporarily for puppet experiments wouldn't be a problem.
He would just mention it to the冥医 later.
"Then it's settled. Don't worry, I'll make sure you have time to go back and be with your wife and children," Qi Tian said, then leaned in close to Lin Xiao's face. "Right?"
