Chapter 201: Elders are Treasures

Although she just came home, Lin Luoran has a lot to do.

First things first, she can hide what happened to Baojia from her parents, but she has to tell Commander Qin. Therefore, Lin Luoran goes to the military compound to visit Commander Qin, who retired from office because of "illness". He still lives there. With all his old friends there, no one can hurt him.

Therefore, Lin Luoran enters the compound successfully. When she arrives at Commander Qin's house, he is playing martial arts. Lin Luoran doesn't interrupt him. She waits until Commander Qin finishes his morning exercises.

What he is playing seems to be military martial arts. When Lin Luoran participated in military training in her college, she has learned some movements, so she is familiar with it.

However, Commander Qin is playing it differently. Although he is not amuck, every movement he makes is accompanied by wind. It shows how powerful those movements are.

The wind blows the tree leaves, but not the grass. Lin Luoran hasn't noticed before that Commander Qin seems to be skilled in internal martial arts.

Commander Qin finishes his morning exercises. He takes the towel from Lu Sanchun and wipes sweat.

"Luoran, you are a rare visitor. What brings you here?"

Lin Luoran is not hiding. Naturally, he can find her.

Lin Luoran calls him "Grandpa Qin" sweetly and she says a lot of good words before Commander Qin lets her in.

She has done the math. It's been a long time since their last meet. After those three years she spent in the underground blood pool, Commander Qin has aged. However, he doesn't look old to her. Is it the effect of the strange ginseng that the crazy Taoist fed him, or the internal martial arts? Lin Luoran wants to prolong her mother's life, so she wants to know about this.

Of course, this question has to be asked in private. They enter the house together. Lin Luoran cannot give him presents from the cultivation world, so she gives Commander Qin some Dahongpao tea leaves. Those branches she stole from the seed tree are growing well in the space and she has picked tea leaves several times. The space helps her to store the leaves. After she has got a lot of tea leaves, she wanted to find a master craftsman to process tea. She has found one with the help of Fatty Cui but that craftsman almost called the police — all her tea leaves were still tender and they were obviously picked before Grain Rain. However, it was autumn, how could she find tea leaves like that?

What's more, even though the master craftsman has never touched Dahongpao tea from the seed tree, he can tell the quality. The tea leaves were first-class, so it is not strange that he felt suspicious.

Luckily, Fatty Cui guarantees for Lin Luoran, but she cannot get the tea now.

The reason why Dahongpao tea is more precious than ordinary Wuyi tea is that it will take 14 steps to process it. Every step is crucial. Now is not the perfect time for processing tea, so Lin Luoran has to wait for a long time.

Therefore, the tea Lin Luoran gives Commander Qin is actually from Master Mu.

"It is indeed very good." Commander Qin is satisfied.

She doesn't mention that these tea leaves come from the seed tree. Commander Qin is always observing disciplines and obeying laws. The government has already forbidden to pick leaves from the seed trees. If Lin Luoran tells him about it, maybe he will refuse this gift.

Lin Luoran tells him what happened to Baojia and Commander Qin's movements stop for a while. He is worried, but what he asks eventually is,

"How is he?"
