"Come, come, come. Let's eat. I just took a bite when I was trying the taste. The dishes that Xiaoyi brought are really delicious," Kong Chunhua said.
"Hahaha, then I have to try it." Zhao Aiguo picked up a piece with his chopsticks and ate it.
"Mmm!" He had only chewed twice when his eyes lit up. "It's fragrant and crispy. It does taste wonderful."
He was secretly shocked even though he said it in that manner. Zhao Aiguo had also eaten vegetables cultivated with spiritual energy, but the vegetables cultivated by those researchers were far inferior to the ones sent by Lin Yi.
Moreover, this vegetable seemed to have some residual spiritual energy.
As expected, as soon as the chewed vegetables entered his stomach, Zhao Aiguo felt that his cultivation technique was circulating faster than before.
Without eating more immediately, Zhao Aiguo put down his chopsticks and frowned. "Xiaoyi, your vegetables… aren't cheap, are they? You can keep these good things for yourself in the future. Don't bring them to us."
Such a good thing should be the cultivation resources that the cultivation sect had left for Xiaoyi. Seriously, if Xiaoyi gave us the resources, what would happen to his own cultivation?
"Old Zhao, are these vegetables very expensive?" Kong Chunhua was puzzled and whispered in Zhao Aiguo's ear.
"In a way, it is quite expensive," Zhao Aiguo replied, equally quietly.
"Ah!"
Kong Chunhua was a little stunned. The vegetables were delicious, but wasn't that a little exaggerated?
Zhao Aiguo was being vague. The others didn't understand, but Lin Yi did.
He smiled and replied, "It's okay, Uncle Zhao. I have a lot of vegetables. If you don't believe me, you can ask Wanting about it. If you like them, I'll get you more in the future."
"Yes, Brother Xiaoyi's courtyard is filled with these vegetables. Are these vegetables very expensive?" Zhao Wanting immediately echoed.
"Filled?!"
Zhao Aiguo sucked in his breath.
He realized that he had underestimated the strength of Lin Yi's sect. To be able to give a new disciple so many cultivation resources, this sect was definitely not simple.
He did not think that Lin Yi had planted them. After all, it was too unbelievable.
"It's okay, don't worry about this. Uncle Zhao, you already said that we're family. If it weren't for your care, I would have starved to death. Don't stand on ceremony with me."
Lin Yi quickly put food into their bowls. His extraordinary hand speed quickly piled up the bowls in front of the three of them.
The three of them had no choice but to continue eating.
Soon, Kong Chunhua and Zhao Wanting understood why Zhao Aiguo said that these vegetables were expensive.
As a small amount of spiritual energy entered their bodies, they felt as if they were soaking in a comfortable bathtub. It was warm and intoxicating.
Not only did these vegetables taste good, but they were also beneficial to the body!
"What kind of high-tech vegetable is this?!" Kong Chunhua originally had some reservations, but after feeling the comfort coming from her entire body, she completely let go and sped up eating.
Zhao Wanting was the same, and Zhao Aiguo, who knew how valuable these vegetables were, naturally could not refuse.
Lin Yi could easily sense the energy in Zhao Aiguo's body growing rapidly. This energy was still relatively weak before he ate, but the more he ate, the more it grew.
After a while, they sat down on the chairs and ate all the vegetables on the table.
"Zhu Yi, where did you get the vegetable seeds? This kind of dish is too delicious." Kong Chunhua rubbed her slightly bulging stomach and asked curiously.
"A friend gave it to me. It's good stuff from the lab. The production is especially small," Lin Yi made up.
The seeds were all ordinary seeds, he naturally could not give it to them.
In any case, as long as they did not directly talk about cultivation, ordinary people would not think about such unscientific things.
Seeing that Kong Chunhua wanted to continue asking, Zhao Aiguo quickly interrupted, "Alright, this kind of thing involves some secrets. Don't ask too much."
Zhao Aiguo was the one who had gained the most tonight. The vegetables contained spiritual energy. Kong Chunhua and Zhao Wanting ate some quickly and became full in no time. Zhao Aiguo ate the rest. He naturally stood firmly on Lin Yi's side.
Zhao Aiguo looked at Lin Yi, who was only eating ordinary ingredients and felt a little apologetic.
Tonight's vegetable banquet was more effective than the medicinal pills he had obtained from the top ten in the organization's internal competition.
That pill was really a product of a high-level laboratory.
After dinner, Lin Yi didn't stay long. After saying goodbye to Zhao Wanting and her family, he returned to the mountain.
There were no lights on in the small courtyard, but there was still some starlight.
Lin Yi opened the door and saw the Star Origin Grass bathed in the bright moonlight.
…
At the police station.
"Captain Zhao, there's something wrong with the statement of the thief you caught yesterday," a young police officer reported to Zhao Aiguo.
"What's wrong?"
"This thief's name is Jiang Wenbin. He has reached the minor level of the Eight Trigrams Movement. According to him, Captain Zhao, you couldn't catch up to him at that time."
Hearing this, Zhao Aiguo narrowed his eyes and did not speak.
The young policeman continued, "But Jiang Wenbin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his feet on Waterbridge Street, causing him to slow down. That's why he fell into our hands."
"I've already checked Jiang Wenbin's soles and feet. There were indeed traces of a sharp object piercing, but the surveillance video didn't show any sharp objects under his feet at that time."
"He might have stepped on it previously. The sharp object was left on the soles of his shoes. It pierced the soles of his feet because of the collision on Waterbridge Street," Zhao Aiguo said casually. He didn't think anything was wrong here.
"I see," said the young policeman, suddenly enlightened.
"There are too many coincidences in this world. There's no need to make a fuss over a small discovery." There was a hidden meaning in Zhao Aiguo's words.
He had already guessed that Lin Yi was most likely involved in this matter.
If it wasn't Lin Yi, it had to be someone from Lin Yi's sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to catch up to someone who had mastered a lesser mastery movement technique.
Movement techniques were his weakness. He was able to get into the top ten of the martial arts competition mostly because of the relatively small arena.
Zhao Aiguo suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, did you tell Jiang Wenbin about the country's policies? Is he willing to hand over the movement technique manual?"
"He's willing to hand it over. Captain Zhao, to be honest, handing over a new secret manual for a new house and five martial arts secret manuals from the martial arts library is an offer too good to be true. If it were me, I'd be willing to hand it over too."
"You have to first have it to be able to hand it over," Zhao Aiguo scolded jokingly. "Fine, as long as he's willing to hand it over. Take him to process the secret manual donation procedures."
"Yes!"
