Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Planning to ride two boats at the same time?

"It's not just one bottle. My friend gave me three!" Seeing Lin Yuanshan's shocked expression, Lin Mengmeng said even more proudly.

"Three bottles!" Lin Yuanshan's eyes widened.

"Mengmeng, you'd agree that I've always been good to you, right…?" In the next moment, Lin Yuanshan rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with a flattering smile, he said.

"Fine, I'll give you two bottles!" Lin Mengmeng cheerfully announced.

"Excellent! Care for your father just like that, Mengmeng!" Lin Yuanshan exclaimed joyfully.

"Don't worry. I know this wine has a lot of medicinal power. I won't let you get the worse end of the deal. I'll give you ten bottles of our family's medicinal wine, how does that sound?" After a moment, Lin Yuanshan offered with a grin.

Perhaps the potency of two bottles of this wine didn't match up to the potency of ten bottles of the Lin Family's medicinal wine, but this was his daughter. He wasn't going to nitpick the quantities. Plus, this wine was incredibly delicious which in and of itself held great value.

"Hmph! On a normal day, you're stingy with a single bottle of it, and now you're suddenly generous enough to offer ten. How extraordinarily generous of you!" Lin Mengmeng rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, snorting in annoyance.

"My precious daughter, each bottle of our family's wine costs millions to produce as you very well know. All of our family's earnings are hard-earned, and we have huge expenditures. Allowing you a bottle every three months is already generous enough.

Now, I'm offering you ten, partly because of these two bottles of wine you have, and also in recognition of your recent breakthrough to the Late Mingjin Stage. It should help stabilize your martial realm faster…" Lin Yuanshan replied with a grin.

In fact, he had only been giving Lin Mengmeng a bottle of their family's medicinal wine once every three months, not only for the high costs but because Lin Mengmeng's Martial Arts Realm was not very high. Using too much medicinal wine too quickly could have destabilized her foundation.

Now, with Lin Mengmeng breaking through to the Late Mingjin Stage, he was planning to reduce the intervals between her consumption of the medicinal wine.

Of course, the high cost was certainly one of the reasons. After all, the Lin Family wasn't just composed of Mengmeng. There were many other members of the Lin family, and many disciples of the Golden Sword Sect. The Lin Family and the Golden Sword Sect had been passed down for hundreds of years and had a set of rules that they lived by.

Even though Mengmeng was his daughter and the Sect Leader's daughter, it did not mean that she should be given more preferential treatment.

Lin Mengmeng had a natural talent and he would not let it be squandered due to inadequate resources. Resources were limited, and every bit of them had to be put to well use.

The consumption of resources would dramatically increase once Mengmeng's Martial Arts Realm leveled up.

"Wealth facilitates martial arts," and this saying was by no means casual talk.

"How stingy! They are willing to give me a bottle every month…" Lin Mengmeng pursed her lips and muttered under her breath.

Lin Yuanshan was a seasoned man and a high-ranking martial artist as well as the Sect Leader of the Golden Sword Sect. He naturally could hear every word of Mengmeng's mumbling.

"What? Someone is willing to give you a bottle of this wine every month?" His eyes widened in astonishment.

The value of this wine was at least several times more than their own family's medicinal wine. Even with their family's wine, Lin Mengmeng was only allowed to drink a bottle every three months. Who could be that generous to give his daughter a bottle every month?

That was even more generous than him, her own father!

"Yes, I could have enjoyed as much of this wine as I wanted initially, but I refused. Then, he offered to let me have one bottle per month, and I refused that too. And in the end, he even wanted to give me five bottles of this wine, but I turned him down. I only asked for three!" Lin Mengmeng raised her face, speaking with immense pride.

Her tone was full of flaunt.

"Is this person a guy?" Lin Yuanshan asked, a strange expression on his face.

"Yes!" Mengmeng nodded.

"He isn't much older, is he?" Lin Yuanshan asked once again.

"He's only two or three years older than me! Oh right, he also seems to be at the Late Mingjin Stage!" Mengmeng nodded, then quickly added as if remembering something.

Upon hearing that the guy was only two or three years older than Mengmeng, Lin Yuanshan let out a relieved breath.

But hearing her following words, Lin Yuanshan was taken aback: "He's also into Martial Arts? Just two or three years older than you, and he's already reached the Late Mingjin Stage?"

"Yeah, it's no surprise that he practices Martial Arts since he has such medicinal wine. The medicinal power of the wine is robust and seems to be absorbed rapidly. So, it's fairly normal for him to reach the Late Mingjin Stage, considering he's a couple of years older than you." Then, as if suddenly realizing something, Lin Yuanshan nodded and conceded.

"Dad, why are you asking all these questions?" Lin Mengmeng suddenly felt a bit perplexed, and with a frown, she asked.

"What else could it be? If he's willing to give you so much, it's likely because he's fond of you! And since you agreed to accept the three bottles of wine, it seems you have some feelings for him too! As your father's duty entails, I naturally have to investigate my future son-in-law!" Lin Yuanshan laughed heartily.

"Seeing how much he's willing to give you and that he also practices martial arts, it's rare to find someone whose talent and current Martial Arts Realm are quite satisfactory. Not bad, not bad!" Lin Yuanshan nodded approvingly.

"Dad, what are you saying! He has a girlfriend. We're just normal friends!" Lin Mengmeng blushed with embarrassment, stomping her foot slightly while fuming.

"What? He has a girlfriend?" Lin Yuanshan's brows furrowed, "So, is he planning on ditching his current girlfriend to pursue you?"

It's not strange for him to think that way, as he's well aware of his daughter's allure.

However, such a kind of man was not his type of admiration.

"Dad, stop imagining things! His relationship with his girlfriend is very good! And her and I get along well too. We are in the same class. He is also very pretty!" Lin Mengmeng countered, her face flushed and filled with annoyance.

"Is she prettier than you?" Lin Yuanshan shook his head.

He fully understood what some guys' minds were like. Especially boys in today's society, changing girlfriends was a common occurrence. If the guy was captivated by his daughter's beauty, it would be perfectly normal for him to give up his current girlfriend to pursue his daughter instead.

As far as he could see, the guy's intentions to be lavishly generous to his daughter were definitely not pure.

"There are four campus belles in our school. I am the first, and she, the second. Do you think she is pretty?" Lin Mengmeng gave her father a side-eye.

"Is this guy trying to have his cake and eat it too?" Lin Yuanshan knitted his brows.

The other girl's campus belle ranking was just one below Lin Mengmeng's, which implied that she was probably quite beautiful. He quickly contemplated an alternative possibility.

A lot of young, capable men nowadays don't think much of themselves. Given this guy's possession of such a medicinal wine, his family must be quite renowned. Also, having reached the Late Mingjin Stage in Martial Arts Realm, he must be quite established among his peers.

If he had intentions of dating both girls simultaneously, it wouldn't be surprising.

"Oh my gosh, Dad, stop talking nonsense! We are just ordinary friends…" Lin Mengmeng stamped her feet and protested.

Then she began to tell her father how she became acquainted with Lin Yun and revealed some information she knew about him.
