Chapter 986: Chapter 996: Refusal (Part 1)

The visitors were Avril Jolie and William.

They were standing at the shop entrance, seemingly waiting for Lin Xi for a while.

Lin Xi: "..."

"I need to talk to you!" Avril glanced at the girl beside Lin Xi and didn’t really mind her.

In her view, this bastard was such a flirt; it’s normal for him to be with girls, isn’t it?

"Alright!" Lin Xi nodded helplessly, not refusing.

After all, last night he called Avril for help, otherwise, how would those cops have let him off the hook like that?

Regarding this matter, Avril was indeed angry.

It’s not that the matter was troublesome; rather, to her, it was just an ordinary phone call.

It’s just that the bastard’s tone was so unfriendly, as if she was his subordinate or servant.

As for the waitress beside Lin Xi, she was quite perceptive.

She pursed her lips, saying, "Looks like we won’t have the chance to grab a drink today!"

"Then goodbye!"

The next moment, she left with a smile, showing no hint of disappointment.

Of course, she didn’t return to the shop, having already taken leave; might as well go have fun outside.

Besides, with her beauty, isn’t it possible to date handsome, strong guys?

Lin Xi watched the beautiful waitress leave without urging her to stay.

After all, Avril didn’t have a good impression of her, and she knew a few of his other women. If he said too much, it wouldn’t be too troublesome, but he’d surely be ignored for a few days.

The trio went to a quieter coffee shop. Since it was a weekday and just past ten, there were hardly any people in the café.

"So, what’s the matter you want to discuss?" Lin Xi asked.

Although he had basically guessed what it was about, it still needed the other party to say it out loud; moreover, he wasn’t interested and didn’t want to go.

Avril wasn’t one to hesitate; she said, "Around midnight tonight, our family will send someone in, and this time there are spots for William and me, as well as my brother."

"My brother said he’s willing to give his spot to you!"

Having said that, she looked at Lin Xi without blinking, thinking he absolutely wouldn’t refuse.

This is the Holy Land!

Moreover, he doesn’t need to risk his life!

"You need to understand, our family only has four spots." She looked at Lin Xi and added again when he remained silent.

Actually, she thought as long as she mentioned the Holy Land, Lin Xi wouldn’t refuse.

But she was puzzled; yesterday she mentioned the Holy Land to Lin Xi, thinking he’d contact her proactively, but unexpectedly, until now, Lin Xi acted as if he’d forgotten about it.

Especially when last night, calling her, she was delighted for nothing.

But he needed help, and didn’t mention the Holy Land at all, barely saying two sentences altogether.

"This bastard!"

"Could it be he’s not interested in the Holy Land?"

"Impossible, he’s definitely doing this on purpose!"

"After all, isn’t there a saying in Huaxia, called ’playing hard to get’ or something?"

Lin Xi opened his mouth, and just as Avril thought he’d agree, she heard, "In a coffee shop, why not order coffee?"

"Don’t make the staff think we can’t afford coffee and are just here for a free spot!"

"You, you’re so pretty, why don’t you know how to do things?"

Avril: "...."

William also gave a wry smile, unable to follow this man’s train of thought.

"Waiter, do you have Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee here?" William waved to the distant waiter and asked.

The waiter was initially stunned, then looked at the three, staying especially longer on Avril and William, then nodded, "We have it!"

Apparently, she believed Avril and William could afford such coffee.

After all, this coffee wasn’t often stocked in their shop, because it wasn’t just a matter of cost.

And other ordinary coffee shops wouldn’t have such coffee.

This coffee is not only very expensive, but its annual production is also very limited.

So if you see someone selling it outside, unless it’s a specialty store or similar, they’re basically fake.

About ten minutes later, the three of them were sipping this precious coffee.

Lin Xi smacked his lips a bit, feeling sentimental, saying, "Actually, I’m still used to drinking our tea!"

"Not only is the taste better, but it’s also healthier than coffee."

"In the future, I suggest you drink less coffee and more tea."

William nodded, indicating agreement.

While Avril looked at Lin Xi with eyes that could kill.

This bastard, taking advantage and acting humble? Besides, it’s you who wanted to drink it!!!

And when I’m discussing the Holy Land with you, stop bringing up unrelated topics.

"Alright, enough nonsense, you had your coffee, let’s talk business now!" She said impatiently, "What do you really think?"

"For heaven’s sake, don’t tell me you’re not interested!"

Do you know how many people would break their heads for the chance at the Holy Land?

Even without any information about it.

Lin Xi smiled, "You hit the nail on the head!"

"I’m really not interested!"

Avril was stunned again, "...."

William had the same expression, "...."

It’s the first time they’ve heard someone disinterested in the Holy Land.

This is hilarious!

It’s like an Innate Powerhouse needing spirit stones to maintain their strength, not to mention enhancing it; that requires more stones for cultivation.

Yet now an Innate says he’s not interested in spirit stones.

This must be a mistake!

"Are you sure you didn’t misspeak?" She couldn’t help but confirm again.

"I didn’t misspeak!"

"There are quite a few spirit stones there!"

"So what?"

"Don’t you need them?"

"I do!"

"Then why? Aren’t you coming with us, don’t you want to get more spirit stones, isn’t it contradictory?"

"No, it’s not contradictory because I have enough spirit stones for now!" "Yeah, enough for a year or two, why take this risk?"

"Is there such a thing as having enough spirit stones?"

"Of course there is, just like a certain Yun saying he’s not interested in money, even regretting founding Alibaba, actually I’m a similar person!" At this point, Lin Xi paused,

"Of course, I don’t have an abundance of spirit stones that are inexhaustible, but I’m someone who’s content with little wealth, and who knows the Holy Land may have unimaginable dangers!"

Avril: "....."

That’s nonsense!

This is too fake.

But there’s one thing she truly can’t fathom—Lin Xi’s reason for not going.
